Chapter 156
Meng Qian smiled when she heard no one answer. She said, “You’ve taken something that belongs to the Intelligence Pavilion. Are you sure you’re not going to give it back to me?”
“Something that belongs to the Intelligence Pavilion? I would like to ask you a question. Why does it belong to the Intelligence Pavilion? Did those people come here with you?” Jiang Chen said.
He wouldn’t have argued with this woman, but at that moment, he needed to stall for more time.
Without his help, Li Xue’er couldn’t take in the energy of universe, but since she had taken lots of Revival Elixirs, she was recovering.
“I formed this team. It was thanks to my information that we hunted the ghost-level monster with several seeds inside it,” Meng Qian said.
“Which means you didn’t tell them about the spiritual herb and took them there not only for the seeds, but also for the herb?”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and caught the loophole in her words.
The Intelligence Pavilion promised her that so long as she was willing to protect Meng Qian for three years, they would detoxify her poison during that period.
To make it safe, they made a drum based on the property of the poison she was suffering from, which could cause her immense pain, so that she had no chance to harm Meng Qian.
When the two women met, Meng Qian had destroyed the Evil Wind Drum in front of Yi Ning and claimed that she would like them to become sworn sisters and treat each other sincerely.
Yi Ning felt very grateful. She had been very obedient to Meng Qian ever since. When she saw Meng Qian crying for having been peeped on, she flew into a rage and had intended to claw Jiang Chen’s eyes out.
But at that moment, the Evil Wind Drum showed up again. At the same time, she recalled how she had been abandoned ruthlessly by Meng Qian when they were attacked by the magical vines, finally seeing the latter’s true colors.
“Hum, I kept it in case a situation like today’s happened! I always knew you were a rebel and a faithless person!”
Meng Qian’s voice sounded ice cold. No one had seen this side of her. She said, “If you still want to detoxify the poison in your system, take him down and grab the spiritual herb from him. You should know that your antidote requires the blood dragon wood, too.”
Yi Ning was dumbstruck. She didn’t know whether Meng Qian’s words were true or not.
When Jiang Chen came to know the history between them, he dashed over to grab Meng Qian’s Evil Wind Drum decisively.
However, although Meng Qian wasn’t a match for Jiang Chen, as a Mental Wander State, she still reacted quickly.
She dodged immediately and called Yi Ning loudly.
Jiang Chen sensed danger and hurried to retreat.
Yi Ning came forward like a ghost, as if she had made up her mind. She was staring at Jiang Chen.
“Which poison is in your system?” Jiang Chen asked her.
“What?” Yi Ning was confused.
“I can detoxify any poison. You don’t have to attach yourself to the Intelligence Pavilion. Run outside of the range of the drumbeat now. After this period in the Realm of Beasts is over, meet me at the Natural Law School,” Jiang Chen said.
Yi Ning was surprised. Meng Qian burst into laughter and said, “Yi Ning, you’re a real fool if you believe him!”
