Chapter 994: Brilliant Plan, Deciding to Win a Thousand Miles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to the Holy Mountain, the Saintess called over the disciples who had gone to the Cheng family to get the wine.

The disciple said that she had taken the new wine from the Cheng family’s storeroom. The maidservant of the Cheng family could also testify that he had taken the right wine.

The Saintess naturally could not guess that the medicinal wine the previous time was actually Xiaohu’s urine. She could only guess that she had taken the wrong wine last time.

She decided to personally return to the Cheng family tomorrow and ask the maidservant.

Since the King of the Southern Wilderness had specifically asked for the medicinal wine from the previous time, no matter what formula it was, she would just find it and send it to the King of the Southern Wilderness.

The medicinal wine was a small matter. The most important thing was to find Wei Xu as soon as possible and offer him to the King of the Southern Wilderness. Otherwise, she would lose the King’s trust.

The Saintess was furious and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The disciple’s expression changed!

Emissary Lu carried the medicine into the house and looked at the disciple coldly. She scolded, “Stand down! The Saintess is only injured from cultivating. You’re not allowed to say a word to outsiders!”

The disciple agreed nervously. “Yes.”

After she left the room, Emissary Lu closed the door and handed a bowl of steaming medicine to the Holy Maiden. “Holy Maiden, is this medicine ineffective? Why did you vomit blood again?”

The Saintess took the medicine. “It’s the poison on the Qingfeng Sword. Most of it was forced out, but there’s still some left.”

Emissary Lu asked in confusion, “They cured Wei Xu and poisoned you. Could it be that other than the Gu Master, there’s a powerful poison expert among them?”

Su Xiaoxiao, the Gu Master and poison expert, was repairing Wei Liulang’s golden arm in his room.

It was not that his golden arm had been beaten up by Wei Xu, but that it had run out of electricity.

Although the golden arm could still be used, it had lost part of its neuron function and was no different from an ordinary prosthetic limb.

Su Xiaoxiao had just entered the pharmacy when the battery of the golden arm appeared on the table.

After Su Xiaoxiao took it out, she installed it into the golden arm.

“Alright, Sixth Brother, try it.”

Su Xiaoxiao returned the golden arm to Wei Liulang.

Wei Liulang cherished this arm.

With Minmin gone, it was his wife.

Wei Liulang clenched his fists after putting it on. The familiar touch and agility returned.

He was like a child who had gotten a toy. He was so excited that his eyes were shining.

As Su Xiaoxiao cleared the table, she asked, “Sixth Brother, do you really not remember what happened five years ago?”

Wei Liulang said, “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Then… what about before?”

Wei Liulang said in a low voice, “I only remember that the Northern Yan army attacked us. I was seriously injured and couldn’t move. Fifth Brother hid me in the corpses of the soldiers and covered me with his body. He told me not to make a sound.”

Every time he recalled this, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Fifth Brother could have escaped and lived but he was killed by the Northern Yan people to protect him.

“When I woke up, I was like this.”

“Were you on the battlefield?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Liulang shook his head. “No, I was at a mass grave. A month has passed. I can’t remember what happened in that month.”

He had never been willing to mention what happened five years ago.

Perhaps it was because his father had returned recently, or perhaps the scars in his heart had finally scabbed over, but he began to have the courage to face that past head-on.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy.

However, it was heavy for less than three seconds. Xiaohu limped in and said aggrievedly, “Mother, Dahu hit me.”

The moment the child appeared, the heavy atmosphere disappeared.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but look at him. “What did you do again for Dahu to hit you?”

Dahu was not an elder brother who would bully his younger brother. If one did not anger him, he would not attack.

On the other hand, this little one could never win and was always flirting with trouble.

Xiaohu lay on Su Xiaoxiao’s leg and whined, “He hit me! Dahu is bad!”

Wei Liulang picked up his teacup.

Erhu stood at the door and said, “Isn’t that because you took off Dahu’s pants?”

Wei Liulang spat out a mouthful of tea…

Su Xiaoxiao stayed in Changliu Lane until nine.

It was mainly to observe Wei Xu’s situation.

The first time Wei Xu used the medicine, the effect only lasted for about six hours.

This time, ten hours had passed, but Wei Xu was still lucid.

Did this mean that the effects of the medicine were cumulative?

Did the effect get better each time?

If that was the case, he might be able to recover after using all five packets.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Cheng family with the three children, Cheng Sang was still awake and fighting with Mei Ji in the small garden..
