Chapter 325: What’s the riddle?
Lin Lezhi took the medicine bag from Qingchuan's hand, his eyes filled with urgency and persistence for the answer.
"You gave me this medicine bag yourself. If you hadn't stuffed the bone lotus powder in it beforehand, I wouldn't have gotten here. I would have been dead when the snakes appeared. I used my inner strength to drive away the snakes, and it was because of the bone lotus powder in the medicine bag that the scent was able to spread here."
After hearing what Lin Lezhi said, everyone's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
No wonder.
Just now, Lin Lezhi asked Liu Yunhe to release his internal energy. It turned out that he wanted to spread the smell of the bone lotus powder in the medicine bag, so that the snakes would retreat.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunhe's eyes trembled even more, and a complex emotion rose in his eyes. He seemed to be struggling with something, and his fists couldn't help but tighten.
and so.
Lin Lezhi insisted on stuffing the medicine bag into his own hand when they were by the lake, saying that it would do him no harm. He knew that he would not be attacked by the white flower snake if he had the medicine bag with him.
That’s why…
He actually complained in his heart that Lin Lezhi ignored his own safety and asked him to go into the forest to find the bloody cloth.
"It's my fault that Brother Jiang's shoulder injury got worse. I gave him the medicine bag to apologize. Plus, I wanted to lead him here. There's no conflict. What's wrong with that?"
"Of course not!"
If Qiao Ying and Xing Tianqi have the same goal, Xing Tianqi hates Jiang Lian'an and wishes he could end Jiang Lian'an's life with his own hands, then Qiao Ying should feel the same way.
He should also want to die.
Why give the medicine sachet to yourself?
There was bone powder on his clothes. If it weren't for the medicine bag, he would have been dead long ago.
The conversation between Qiao Ying and Lin Lezhi is confusing.
Although they heard every word clearly and did not avoid them, it seemed as if he was talking in a riddle.
"Then if I do this, Brother Jiang will think it's right."
As he spoke, a cold look flashed in Qiao Ying's eyes, and a long sword quickly appeared from his sleeve like a whip.
It was the long sword he carried when he appeared as Jiang Lian'an.
In almost an instant, the long sword was at Lin Lezhi's throat. Lin Lezhi had no time to dodge and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
In an instant, two figures entered Lin Lezhi's sight.
Liu Yunhe drew his sword, blocking Qiao Ying's swift thrust, his eyes cold and alert. Meanwhile, Xiao Yihuo pulled Lin Lezhi behind him and stared at Qiao Ying, his brows filled with vigilance and displeasure.
The figures of Liu Yunhe and Xiao Yihuo were reflected in Lin Lezhi's eyes, and a look of emotion that was difficult to hide and smooth out appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that he was ready to die if he dared to attack, Qiao Ying shrugged slightly, but did not retract the sword in his hand. He simply turned his head slightly to look at Lin Lezhi and said with a joking smile, "If I really had such a thought, I would probably be the first to die."
Liu Yunhe blocked Qiao Ying's view of Lin Lezhi, his eyes wary, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. If I really want to do something, I'll unsheathe my sword." Seeing Liu Yunhe's increasingly vigilant eyes, a cunning look flashed across his eyes and he assured, "At least, not now."
"What do you mean not now?"
Hearing the implication of Qiao Ying's words, Liu Yunhe asked sternly.
Qiao Ying didn't respond to Liu Yunhe's words. She just smiled and then withdrew the sword that was about to stab Lin Lezhi. She took a step back so that she could see Lin Lezhi. She said with deep meaning, "As for why I changed my mind, that's something you have to consider, not something I have to answer."
Done.
Qiao Ying then turned her gaze towards the crowd, with an expression that frightened everyone, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for scaring you all. I didn't mean any harm. I just listened to Brother Jiang talk a lot and wanted to tell him everything I know."
The words fell.
He slightly turned the hilt of the sword with his fingers, and the long sword in his hand immediately turned into a short sword as long as his palm.
