Chapter 106: The Medicine King's Good Intentions

  Some things aren't escapable just because you want to escape them.

  For example, the fact that the woman in red hid in Ximen Qing's room, he cannot avoid it because the evidence is conclusive.

  It just so happened that Xi Men Long was not a fool, he couldn't just sit and wait for death, letting everyone suspect him. He coldly smiled and said: "Just because the red-clothed woman hid in my room, does it mean I have a relationship with her?"

  Hualang nodded: "Of course, because she wasn't just hiding in your room once, but twice. On the day Ye Fengluo was poisoned to death, she was also in your room. Otherwise, it's impossible for her not to be discovered, right?"

  Ximen Dragon was speechless, but Hualang smiled again and said: "You must want to say that we have all been in your room, but at that time, no one asked if the fragrance was or not?"

  Ximen Dragon saw Hualang say this, and hastily nodded: "That's right!"

  The young man smiled slightly and said, "We arrived on the second day, that woman in red had already left, the fragrance had long been dispersed, how could there be any fragrance?"

  After hearing Hua Lang's words, Xi Men Long only then realized that he had been fooled by Hua Lang. This reason isn't even a reason at all!

  Hualang supported Wen Meng and sat down, then continued to ask: "Ximen Shixiong, tell me, why do you want to help that red-clothed woman?"

  The people who were not poisoned surrounded Ximen Qing, his face looked terrible and under the night color, there was a hint of horror.

  Hualang asked, but Ximen Dragon refused to answer. If he answered, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was in cahoots with the red-clothed woman. Seeing Ximen Dragon's refusal to answer, Hualang smiled faintly and said, "Since you won't say, I'll say it myself!"

  Everyone looked at Hualang with some surprise, did he know?

  "You're willing to cooperate with that woman, all for the sake of Medicine King Ye Fengluo's 'Baicao Jing', because that red-clothed woman promised you, as long as you're willing to help her, she'll give you the 'Baicao Jing', right?"

  Ximen Dragon smiled disdainfully: "The 'Bai Cao Jing' is not on me, so I won't admit to the things you're saying."

  Hualang raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying: "Of course, the 'Baicao Jing' is naturally not on you. Otherwise, that day in Yaowang's room, when I said I found the 'Baicao Jing', your reaction wouldn't have been like that. Your reaction was as if you knew where the 'Baicao Jing' was, but it absolutely wasn't in Yefengluo's room. From that moment on, I started to suspect you."

  Hualang finished speaking, and Murong Changqing glared at Ximen Long in anger: "You heartless and conscienceless person, actually helped outsiders poison our master. A person like you who is devoid of benevolence and righteousness should be sliced into a thousand pieces."

  Murong Changqing's words of bullying give people the feeling that he wants to maintain his own master.

  At this time, Hua Lang believed that Murong Changqing was really going to protect his master, and of course, he also had the goal of defeating Xi Men Long to get the "Bai Cao Jing".

  Everyone's gaze put a lot of pressure on Simon Long, and after a long time, Simon Long finally couldn't bear it. He looked at Hua Lang and said: "I... I didn't know that the red-clothed woman was going to poison Master at first, I really didn't know!"

  "I don't know, who believes it!" Murong Changqing was still furious.

  "Really, it's really like that," Xi Men Long nodded repeatedly to explain. "The red-clothed woman said she was the master's lover and came specifically to see the master. In order to give the master a surprise, she wanted to hide in my room first. I heard her say she was the master's lover, so I thought about flattering her and asking her to let the master pass on the 'Hundred Herb Classic' to me. The red-clothed woman agreed, and I was delighted to hide her in my room. But after discovering that the master had been poisoned to death, I realized I had been deceived."

  Ximen Long finished speaking, making people feel reasonable, but the fact that the red-clothed woman was Ye Fengluo's lover made them somewhat suspicious. Moreover, Ximen Long should be very familiar with his master, so shouldn't he know whether his master had a lover or not?

  After Gong Sun Ce asked this question, Xi Men Long hurriedly explained: "At first I didn't believe it either, but she took out a token given to her by Master, and when I saw Master's name on the token, I believed."

  At this time, Murong Changqing coldly snorted and said: "Last time you didn't know that the red-clothed woman was evil, so you were deceived. But tonight's events, you let the red-clothed woman hide in your room again, are you being deceived once more?"

  Ximen Long was somewhat afraid and hastily said: "Big Brother, it's not like that, it's not like that. Tonight, I had no choice either. The red-clothed woman said that if I didn't agree to help her, she would tear up the 'Hundred Herb Classic' and expose my affairs. I'm a medicine fanatic, with an almost crazy love for the 'Hundred Herb Classic'. If she really tore it up... how could that be good? That's the essence of the medical world! Moreover, I was afraid she would expose me for helping her, so I had to let her hide."

  At this time, everyone was looking at Hua Lang, wanting to know if he believed what Xi Men Long had said.

  Hualang nodded slightly, Ximen Long's words were reasonable, and at this time, he didn't need to lie. Hualang believed that Ximen Long was being used by the red-clothed woman, otherwise, the "Baicao Jing" would have fallen into Ximen Long's hands long ago.

  It was late at night, Gong Sun Ce and Mu Rong Chang Qing had examined the poisoned people, their faces looked worried, "Don't know what kind of poison it is, but the pulse is stable, there should be no problem in a short time."

  Hualang looked at Wēn Mèng with concern and said: "We must get the antidote as soon as possible."

  "Do you think that woman in red will bring us the antidote?" Gong Sun Ce asked with some concern.

  Hualang shook his head: "I'm afraid it's very difficult, since she could ruthlessly kill Yewang Ye Fengluo, killing a few more innocent people wouldn't be a big deal to her."

  "What should we do now?"

  Hualang thought for a moment, then said: "Looking at the expression of that red-clothed woman, although she is very angry with Ye Fengluo, she also loves Ye Fengluo deeply. To find that red-clothed woman, it's likely we can only start by dealing with your master."

  Many of them were puzzled. Their master was already dead, and now even the body had been taken away by that red-clothed woman. How could they make a move?

  Just as everyone was puzzled, Hua Lang shifted his gaze to Xi Men Long and asked: "The red-clothed woman told you that she was your master Yao Wang Ye Feng Luo's lover, so he must have told you about their past?"

  Ximen Long's eyes flickered and he shook his head, "No, she just took out the token left by her master to show me, nothing else was told to me, really, you have to believe me."
