Chapter 185 Lie to them

"No need to say any more, this is the end of our friendship."

Zhong Qiaonan took a deep look at them, turned around and walked out.

The two people looked unwilling and wanted to say something, but after seeing Zhong Qiaonan's expressions, they still had the sense to stop talking.

Zhong Qiaonan left the teahouse almost quickly. Ning Zhishui was about to speak when she saw that something was wrong with him.

"Have you had tea?" Ning Zhishui asked.

Zhong Qiaonan hummed, his face looked ugly and his steps staggered.

He had just arrived when Ning Zhishui came over, but he had already had two drinks under the guidance of those two people.

It was just like this that he knew that he had to leave with Ning Zhishui quickly without wasting time.

"Where do you live?" Ning Zhishui supported his arm, "The poison in the tea is not fatal. It is used to torture people. You must endure it first, and I will send you back."

"On Fengyang Street." Zhong Qiaonan said.

Ning Zhishui couldn't help but feel helpless, Fengyang Street was much far away from here.

After thinking about it, she called a carriage and said, "Go to the outside of the city to collect water."

The carriage rattled along Qingshi Street. Zhong Qiaonan got on the carriage and leaned against the corner, her body arched up in great pain.

Ning Zhishui didn't have any medicine suitable for him, but thinking that the poison was not fatal, Ning Zhishui didn't worry.

The only sound in the car was Zhong Qiaonan's unbearable gasping in pain, and cold sweat on his forehead. Ning Zhishui looked at him, "Do you want me to knock you out?"

Zhong Qiaonan:...

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I can bear it."

"Then let's talk. Maybe it won't hurt so much if you distract yourself." Ning Zhishui said, "They gave you this poison probably to scare you and make you think that the poison is fatal, so you can compromise with them. Okay. Ask for an antidote. But since what they want is not with you, then why not..."

"I lied to them." Zhong Qiaonan said calmly, "I still have the things."

"Then what did you say about Du just now..."

"They have a grudge against Du Lichao, so they may not ask him. Even if they ask, Du Lichao may not pay attention. And even if he tells the truth, they will definitely not believe it." Zhong Qiaonan smiled and explained.

At that moment, something was wrong with the way Ning Zhishui looked at him.

She thought this man would be more "innocent" when he was young, but now it seems that she is overthinking it.

Some things are really innate, such as IQ and scheming.

Maybe talking could really distract him, but Ning Zhishui found that Zhong Qiaonan didn't seem to feel so uncomfortable anymore.

If you ignore the cold sweat on his head.

"We're out of town...where are we going?" Zhong Qiaonan looked behind Ning Zhishui. Next to her was the car window. The curtains fluttered from time to time, and he happened to see a little of what was going on outside.

"Detoxify you."

"Can the poison be detoxified outside the city?" He was puzzled.

Ning Zhishui hummed, but did not explain in detail.

She also opened the curtain and took a look. When she saw that the carriage was approaching Qishui, she called for a stop and then helped Zhong Qiaonan get out of the carriage.

Zhong Qiaonan looked confused, not knowing what they were doing here.

It was completely dark, and occasionally only a few passers-by passed by, but no one stopped here.

The pain in my body was getting worse, with waves of cold and heat. At this time, there was a cold wind blowing by the river. He almost shivered and felt bad everywhere.

People can't stand the cold wind when they feel uncomfortable. It seems that the cold wind will aggravate all the pain, so Zhong Qiaonan's face is now pale.

This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that Ning Zhishui raised his chin and said, "Go in."

"……what?"

Zhong Qiaonan turned around in slow motion, her eyes dull.

"Soak in the water. The poison will be detoxified after soaking for a while." Ning Zhishuiyin said with a smile. After a while, Ning Zhishui sat by the river and looked at Zhong Qiaonan who was taking a bath to detoxify.

Of course he was wearing clothes, but the clothes clung to his body, his shoulders were wide, his waist was narrow, and his chest was very broad.

Most of her hair was wet, and some of it stuck to her chest.

What Ning Zhishui was actually thinking was: there would be beautiful men performing in the middle of the night.

But she soon stopped this idea.

Stop, stop, this is not Zui Feng Tower, what are you thinking about!

Zhong Qiaonan swam close to the shore and could feel that the poison in her body was easing, and the discomfort was no longer that strong.

Just as he was about to come out, he heard Ning Zhishui's lazy voice, "You must be completely detoxified before you can come out."

Fine.

He shrank back into the water.

"Have you learned the knowledge about elixirs for a long time? Why are you so proficient at it at such a young age?" he asked.

Ning Zhishui found a stone to lean on. Although the stone was not big and could not fully support her back, it was better than nothing.

As she leaned on it, she looked up at the moon in the sky. The moon was not full, but it was exceptionally bright tonight.

"Maybe he has talent in this area." Ning Zhishui answered casually.

"I think the master who comes to teach you must be very powerful."

Ning Zhishui didn't respond.

Zhong Qiaonan didn't hear her voice and looked towards her.

She was looking up at the bright moon in the sky in trance. The moonlight hit the side of her face, giving her delicate cheeks a silver edge.

Bright eyes, straight nose, slightly open mouth.

The chin is small, and underneath is a slender neck, as white as if it were carved from jade.

Zhong Qiaonan looked at her and lost her voice for a moment.

Ning Zhishui's neck was a little stiff, and she was surprised to realize that she had been looking at him for too long. She stretched out her hand to rub the back of her neck, then turned to look at Zhong Qiaonan, "How do you feel? It's time to go."

It's been a long time, and his poison should have been cured.

At this glance, he happened to meet Zhong Qiaonan's eyes.

At this time, he no longer looked youthful, probably because he looked a bit unspeakably deep against the backdrop of the night.

His eyes are so deep that he can't see the whole thing at a glance.

This gave Ning Zhishui the illusion that he was looking at Zhong Qiaonan from his previous life.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhong Qiaonan withdrew her gaze, jumped out of the water while holding on to the shore, and dried her clothes with a single spell.

"Thank you for what happened today. If you hadn't been here, I might have been in trouble." Zhong Qiaonan walked towards the city with her, "It's too late today and it's not convenient. I will make a special trip to thank you when I am free another day. "

"No need, it's easy."

"How can that be done?" Zhong Qiaonan frowned and stopped, "How about this, I'll book the Penglai Tower tomorrow, and you can come with me."

"Penglai Tower? You made a reservation in advance, but who do you want to see?"

Ning Zhishui knew that Penglai Restaurant was one of the most expensive restaurants in Luo Yucheng. It was not only expensive, but also notoriously difficult to locate.

She had been here for so long, and she had only passed by Penglai Tower, but had no chance to go in.

Most people would not go there if they wanted to eat normally, because it is too expensive and there is no need.

Unless you have an appointment with someone important to discuss something with.
