“No matter what, let’s take a look first.”
Lin Bai opened the furnace in front of everyone. There really was a medicinal pill inside. Perhaps it was because he was refining the detoxification pill, or perhaps it was some other reason.
Not only was this medicinal pill completely black, but it was also mixed with some gray color. It was not like an ordinary medicinal pill either. A medicinal fragrance filled the air, and it was filled with an indescribable strange smell. Many people covered their noses and mouths.
“Can this be eaten?”
Seeing that Bai He still had half a breath left, could it be that he had not even taken his last breath? Everyone looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, was full of confidence. He picked up the medicinal pill and was about to feed it to Bai He, but he was stopped by someone.
“Senior brother Lin, why don’t we still –”
He was about to say that he still needed to look for a medicine shop or an alchemist, but Bai He was convulsing all over, and even his face showed an expression of unbearable pain.
The black qi became more and more ferocious, and the divine light protecting his chest also became dimmer, as if it was being eaten by some little bug. It was on the verge of collapse. Based on the speed of the black qi, the ball of spirit energy protecting his chest would completely dissipate in a moment.
At the same time, the poison would enter his heart. Even if the medicinal pills in He Linsheng’s hands were not destroyed, he could no longer be saved.
It was unknown who snatched the medicinal pill from Lin Bai’s hand and stuffed it into Bai He’s mouth. “So be it. I’ll take this gamble!”
Seeing Bai He swallow the medicinal pill, it was already too late to stop him. Everyone’s heart was in their throats as they watched Bai He’s movements without blinking.
However — he suddenly stopped breathing!
“Senior brother Bai!”
“It’s over. I told you that this pill was unreliable. Now that senior brother Bai is dead, how are we going to explain this to the dean and the elders?”
“You have to know that senior brother Bai is the Dean’s favorite disciple. We’ll definitely be finished when we go back.”
Everyone looked at Lin Bai with a hint of resentment in their eyes. They couldn’t be blamed. After all, Lin Bai’s various actions made people ridicule him to the extreme.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have lost their parents, Lin Bai said helplessly, “He’s not dead yet.”
“Nonsense! I saw senior brother Bai die with my own eyes. How is it possible –”
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of spiritual light enveloped Bai He’s body and dispersed the black poisonous gas. At the same time, Bai He’s expression gradually recovered. He suddenly sat up from the ground.
“Look!”
There was another scream, and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
Those who did not know would have thought that it was a corpse.
“What are you shouting for? I’m not dead yet.” Bai He’s voice was not as weak as before. He glanced at Lin Bai beside him, and obviously knew who had saved him.
Bai He stood up and bowed to Lin Bai with the help of the people beside him. “Thank you very much this time.”
If it weren’t for Lin Bai’s help, he would probably be dead now. Lin Bai waved his hand to show that he didn’t mind.
The heavy weight in everyone’s hearts was completely lifted. They looked at Lin Bai with eyes filled with admiration and gratitude. All of them blushed from their previous doubts. Fortunately, they didn’t say anything overboard at that time.
Otherwise, they would not have the face to face Lin Bai at this moment.
...
The Shao family.
Lin Bai and so many others had gone out. How could they not send someone to follow them? After all, the murderer had not been caught yet. What if he was hidden among them and was waiting for an opportunity to escape.
“Go and follow them and see what the situation is like.”
Soon, two of the people who were sent out returned. When they heard their report, Shao Feng and a few elders were quite surprised. “They actually had an argument with He Linsheng.”
Although the He family was not on equal footing with the Shao family, their strength could not be underestimated.
“Although He Linsheng can’t be compared to my son, he can still be considered pretty good among his peers. Since Bai He was able to defeat him, it shows that his strength can not be underestimated.”
Most importantly, Bai He also used a sword. This made Shao Feng think of the murderer who killed Shao Yuchen once again.
Although Bai He’s sword did not match the information sent by the fireflies, this possibility could not be ruled out if he had used another sword back then.
In addition, Bai He’s master was Dean Zhao of the Sword Cultivation Academy. Perhaps he had already revealed some information, which was why Bai He had hidden it so well. It was still unknown.
“It’s just that Bai He has been ambushed by He Linsheng. Now that he’s in imminent danger, the person who replaced him is Lin Bai.”
Hearing this name, the third elder subconsciously frowned. Shao Feng’s expression did not reveal anything. “Then who lost? Who won?”
The person who was following them shook his head, indicating that he did not know, “We saw that the situation was not right, so we came back to report first. That He Linsheng did not come with good intentions. Regardless of whether they won or lost, I’m afraid he won’t let them off easily. Therefore, we specially came to ask the family head to tell us if we should rescue them.”
“Rescue?” Shao Feng sneered. “It’s already the greatest gift to them that I don’t kick them when they’re down. They still expect me to save them.”
If it were not for the Shao family’s troubled times, Shao Feng would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let ten thousand people off.
“Let them go. It’s just a few people with low spiritual power who died. Moreover, these people have nothing to do with our Shao family at all.”
The coldness in Shao Feng’s tone made people shudder. It did not matter even if all those people died. It seemed that he was not afraid of the people from the four major colleges coming to find trouble.
It made sense when he thought about it. If they wanted to find trouble, they should look for the He family. Moreover, he did not think that there would be anyone with profound cultivation in such a small place to uphold justice for them.
At this moment, the servants outside the door reported that they had returned.
? ? ?
The few of them quickly went out to take a look. Not only had they returned, even Bai He, who had been poisoned, was still fine. His complexion was ruddy, and his breathing was steady.. It was impossible to tell that he had been poisoned.
