Chapter 461: Hand over Mute Granny

Han Yunxi and Long Feiye had gone to Pill Fiend Valley multiple times by now, each time in a rush to get there and back with urgent medicine to save her patients. But this time was different. Inside their carriage, Long Feiye was calm while Han Yunxi was restless. If not for the fact that she'd just recovered from her burns, causing Long Feiye to insist on the carriage, she'd simply ride a horse to the valley instead.

Like always, Long Feiye was leaning lazily against the wall as he read a book. His quiet self reminded Han Yunxi of their days in the Jiangnan Plum Blossom Sea. She didn't want to bother him, but she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how many guards did you bring with you?"

Long Feiye was still concentrating on his book as he replied, "A few."

"That's not enough, right?" Han Yunxi said seriously. We're here to claim damages, not stay over like guests!

Long Feiye lifted his eyes to meet her own. "Isn't it enough to bring your lordship along?" His guards were only here for convenience rather than to fight against Gu Qi Sha. The Pill Fiend had lost to him twice already, so Long Feiye didn't even bother with extra precautions against the man. Gu Qi Sha had mixed miscellaneous dregs of medicine into the Broomcorn Millet Antidote, perhaps to seize a chance for profit while lying to him about the quantities. He couldn't manage much more beyond his personal, petty schemes.

Han Yunxi shouldn't trust Gu Qi Sha's words when he starting contending about the amount of antidote left. That's why Long Feiye didn't worry about this meeting at all. Whatever Han Yunxi wanted to do later, he'd just follow her lead.

Fine, Han Yunxi could admit that she was over worrying about everything. When she saw Long Feiye's unhappy expression, she joked, "Your Highness's martial arts and chenqie's poisons will be enough to beat back countless foes in the world. You can take me roaming around the jianghu!"

But Long Feiye simply said, "No time," and went back to his book. Han Yunxi suddenly didn't know what to say. She'd clearly been joking, couldn't he tell?

Actually, what Long Feiye meant to say was that he had no time for idle conversation, but Han Yunxi had misunderstood him. Still, she ended up staying quiet so he had no complaints. He had loved books since he was young and hated it when anyone interrupted his reading time. Han Yunxi had brought her share of medical texts and poison manuals, but she couldn't be bothered with them when sitting in the same room as him. Actually, even knowing he was home made it hard for her to focus on things. She could calm down much better when he was out, working until he showed up once again.

Only one day had passed so far. By carriage, it still took at least two days for them to reach Pill Fiend Valley at the fastest speeds. Han Yunxi took out the bottle of Broomcorn Millet poison and played around with it in her hands. With nothing else to do, she had the detox system pick out the extraneous sediment in the bottle and transfer it to a different bottle. Now only pure antidote was left in the original bottle. What was once seven or eight parts full was now only four parts full. In other words, Gu Qi Sha had stolen four parts of antidote for himself!

Or rather, that was what the figures indicated, but Han Yunxi wasn't that stupid.

Judging from the size of the Serpent Fruit, if the entire fruit had been used, there should be enough to fill the bottle with antidote. Currently, she had enough to fill the bottle up four parts, which meant Gu Qi Sha must have stolen six parts of antidote from Long Feiye! Han Yunxi had no idea how big the Panoptic Red Lotus and Bear chuan were, so this was only an estimate of the actual stolen quantities. After some mental calculations, Han Yunxi placed the bottle of antidote and extraneous sediment in front of Long Feiye.
