Chapter 884 Act Under Your Nose
Shen Guoan fumbled with the bright yellow ring in his hand as he stood on the windowsill and looked out at the dark night sky. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
Liu Yufei squatted in the corner. At that moment, she did not dare to raise her head to look at anyone. The blisters on her face looked disgusting and scary. She did not know why the things on her face had become more and more serious after entering the ancient tomb. Not only her face, there was not a single piece of good skin on her body. She did not know what had happened, but she only knew that the cold and numb feeling in her body could no longer control her.
She stole a glance at the old man standing on the windowsill. This old man could control all of her fate. She did not dare to show any signs of overstepping. Even though she had been squatting here for two hours, the old man had also been standing on the windowsill for two hours. She did not dare to ask him anything.
The night in the forest was not as noisy as the city. It was terrifyingly quiet. Even the wild beasts in the forest were recuperating at this moment.
There was no sound other than breathing.
It was also because the surroundings were too quiet that Liu Yufei could not help but turn her head to look at the footsteps coming from the door.
Shen Guoan was still standing there without moving. There was a knock on the door. It was Shen Guoan’s bodyguard in black.
“Old Master, everything has been arranged properly.”
“En. How is Lin Jiahui?”
“She has already concocted the antidote. She said that she hopes that the Young Miss can be sent over to test the medicine as soon as possible.”
as soon as
After saying this, the bodyguard bent his waist again and did not dare to raise his head.
Everyone here had witnessed the old man’s prowess. It was not that he had great martial prowess, but rather, it was his terrifying talisman technique. If he wanted to kill someone, he did not even need to lift a finger. Not only the ignorant villagers at the foot of the mountain, even their brothers did not dare to show off in front of this great-grandfather.
“She is really impatient. Let her wait. Ouyang Jue definitely won’t die so quickly.”
“How’s the Young Miss doing?”
“The Young Miss got angry again tonight. I heard that she even tore down the bed.”
Shen Guoan smiled faintly. She was indeed angry. “Don’t bother. Let her go. Everyone is in position, right?”
“Everyone is in position. There are people guarding the surroundings. The Young Miss and the others can’t walk out.”
“En, leave.”
The bodyguards immediately retreated after hearing the old man’s words and did not dare to say another word.
On the other hand, Shen Guoan thought that he had already instructed everyone to guard the area and that they would definitely be unable to escape. However, he did not know that what they thought was the sound of the bed was actually the sound of an explosion.
The only connection between the outer wall and the side courtyard was a stone wall. As it was close to the edge, this was the only place where there were fewer guards.
Under the cover of the night, they bent down and ran out. 19 and Yan Kuan each carried a child on their backs.
“Where are we going now?”
19 looked around. As the night was coming, white fog rose rapidly in the surroundings. Yan Kuan looked around and said to 19,”Whether it’s Shen Guoan’s place or the stone forest that the secret guards entered, the white fog is the thickest. It must be the most difficult place to break in. With them around, it must be heavily guarded. So, our best way is to get the antidote.”
“Right, Shen Guoan probably thinks that we are in this courtyard. The bodyguards hiding around us are all idiots.”
“Alright, let’s leave this place immediately.”
19 led the way. Three adults and two children walked directly to the courtyard where Lin Jiahui was.
Liu Yufei felt that time had pa.s.sed so slowly. After she waited for nearly four hours, Shen Guoan turned to her and said, “Go down. Don’t leave the courtyard if you have nothing to do.”
Liu Yufei was stunned. Why was he treating her so well?
“What? You don’t want to leave?”
“No, no, no. I want to ask, is there any way to cure my poison? Old Master, please save me, I beg you.”
After saying that, Liu Yufei knelt down and kept kowtowing. Shen Guoan looked at Liu Yufei and said indifferently,”As long as you are obedient, I will naturally spare your life. Get down.”
This guarantee, which was not a guarantee, did not make Liu Yufei feel relaxed at all. She was even thinking, was it really like what the old woman said, that she was actually a tool?
If that was really the case, she would definitely not be willing to be a tool just like that.
Since she was asked to leave, Liu Yufei still retreated respectfully on the surface. However, Shen Guoan naturally did not know how she struggled in her heart. However, when Shen Guoan saw her leaving… He muttered, “Extreme yin blood.”
On this end, when Dark 15 saw Dark 1 and Dark 2 leading them to lift a huge stone millstone-like object, his heart was pounding. What was he trying to do?
He had not forgotten that when he had just entered the ancient tomb, he had seen with his own eyes that such a huge millstone was used to grind people’s flesh and blood. Could it be that this millstone was also used to grind people’s bones and blood?
Dark 15 had even thought that if he really wanted them to do this sacrificial thing in the end, he would definitely wake up all of his brothers and give these people a fatal counterattack. He had always received Western education, so he really did not believe that these strange array spells were so effective.
The bamboo forest was filled with white fog. The time was no more than 8 o’clock at the most, but the surroundings were already pitch black. There was no light or shadow at all.
There were bodyguards leading the way. Dark 15 looked carefully. The bodyguards in front were walking while holding something in their hands. At this moment, he was a controlled person, so he naturally couldn’t look around. Therefore, he could not see what was in their hands clearly.
However, he found that Dark land Dark 2 were very obedient to them. Even the route map was the same.
Dark 15 understood. This must be some kind of array. The two people in front were the pathfinders. The image recorded by the camera on his chest was very limited. Dark 15 could only focus all his attention on the people in front of him. He would not miss their every turn and step.
Lin Jiahui was an elderly person after all. After going through several days and nights of hards.h.i.+ps to come here, Lin Jiahui was extremely excited when she finally gathered all the drugs. She could not wait to dive into her research on the antidote.
She had prepared for too long these years. She did not dare to be careless when she finally got all the herbs. She had practiced the pharmaceutical method pa.s.sed down from the ancient books of the Ouyang family hundreds of times. This time, she was a little nervous at first.
However, the determination to save Ouyang Jue had become her only pillar of support all these years. She would not allow herself to fail. Looking at the red-faced old man lying in the crystal coffin, Lin Jiahui’s heart was filled with hope.
The antidote was made, but although it was completely according to the ancient books, she did not know what the final effect would be. It was not enough that Old Master Shen had promised her that he would let Shen Xiaoxiao do an experiment to see if it was effective.
