Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Chapter Fifty-Five: Herb Gathering

Master Ziyin knew immediately upon examining Feng Qingxue's pulse that she was deeply poisoned, as he had done so before.

So he first used magic to freeze Feng Qingxue's blood flow.

That way, the poison won't spread throughout her body.

Master Ziyin stood up and sighed.

"Master, how is she now?" Lin Yaoxie asked anxiously.

"Her condition is very bad right now. We need to find an antidote to save her, otherwise, she cannot survive," said Master Ziyin.

"Antidote? What kind of antidote? I'll go find it right now," Lin Yaoxie said.

"Don't worry, I've already sealed her blood vessels, so she's not in immediate danger. I'll tell you more tomorrow, then you can go find it yourself. I'm going to look now."

"Let's see what's going on with those poisonous snakes." After saying this, Master Ziyin walked out.

Since Master Ziyin said so, even though Lin Yaoxie was in a hurry, he could only listen to Master Ziyin for the time being.

Master Ziyin walked out.

By this time, Ling Yue and his men had already cleared away all the snakes, and some were still alive.

The live snakes were placed in a large vat by Ling 04.

Upon seeing Master Ziyin arrive, they all respectfully greeted him, "Master..."

Master Ziyin walked into the large vat and then glanced at the snakes.

"Where did these snakes come from?" Master Ziyin asked.

“Master… I actually suspect that someone may have deliberately put this snake into the demon’s room, because we searched the surrounding area and didn’t find any trace of it,” Ling Yue said.

"Oh my god... who on earth is trying to poison Lin Yaoxie?"

"This is too ruthless. Now the people of Youdu have been dragged down with them."

People started discussing it.

Master Ziyin pondered for a moment, then said, "Lingyue, did you search this place just now? Has anyone else come in here?"

"No, I've already led a search," Ling Yue said.

"In other words, this snake was planted by our people to frame Lin Yaoxie. Lin Yaoxie has only been back for a few days, and someone is already trying to harm him. This person either has to confess obediently, or they should avoid being caught by me," Master Ziyin said solemnly.

He glanced around and looked at all the disciples.

Ling Duan was feeling very flustered, but he remained calm.

He never expected things to turn out this way. He only intended to harm Lin Yaoxie, but he ended up harming Feng Qingxue instead.

"It seems no one is willing to admit their despicable methods... I feel ashamed. Why would such a person appear in my Tianyong City?" Master Ziyin sneered.

“Master, this is not your fault; it’s just that the person is too cunning. Master, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly,” Ling Yue said.

"Alright. If you find out who it is, you must tell me immediately. I'll tell the murderer right now that if he's found out, not only will you be punished, but I'll also expel you from Tianyong City." After saying this, Master Ziyin left.

Ling Yue turned around and glanced at his junior brothers.

“You all heard what Master said just now, right? I hope you can come to me and confess. If so, I will plead for you in front of Master. If you refuse to confess, I will have to investigate you one by one. Whoever is investigated will suffer.” Ling Yue said to them.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I definitely couldn't do something like that."

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I'll just accompany my senior brother to investigate.

Someone said.

At this moment, Master Ziyin already had someone he suspected. However, he simply didn't have any evidence yet.

Master Ziyin glanced at Feng Qingxue's room, then went inside.

He saw Lin Yaoxie standing guard by Feng Qingxue's bedside.

Master Ziyin shook his head helplessly.

"Demon, I've already told you, Qingxue is not in any immediate danger, so you don't need to worry. Go back to sleep," said Master Ziyin.

"Master, I'm not sleepy right now. I just want to stay by Qingxue's side," Lin Yaoxie said.

Master Ziyin had no choice but to leave.

Lin Yaoxie stayed there until dawn.

He fell asleep in the middle of the night without realizing it.

When he woke up, he went to look at Feng Qingxue, but she still hadn't woken up.

After a while, Master Ziyin came over.

"Master, please tell me quickly what antidote we need to save Qingxue," Lin Yaoxie said.

"There is no plum grass on the mountain. That kind of antidote can neutralize this poison," Master Ziyin said simply and clearly.

After hearing this, Lin Yaoxie hurriedly headed outside.

"Wait a minute, you should at least eat breakfast first. After you finish breakfast, let Ling Yue take you there; Ling Yue knows the area well," said Master Ziyin.

Lin Yaoxie thought about it and decided to go find Ling Yue. It would be better for Ling Yue to lead the way than for him to wander around aimlessly on his own.

At that moment, Ling Yue was having breakfast.

“Demon, you’re here. You must not have had breakfast yet. Let’s eat together,” Ling Yue said.

If Lin Yaoxie went up the mountain alone, he definitely wouldn't have time to eat. But since he went with Ling Yue, he couldn't very well not let Ling Yue eat if he didn't.

So Lin Yaoxie sat down and started eating with Ling Yue.

"Senior brother, the reason I came to you this time is to ask you to take me to the mountain to find the Plum-less Grass," Lin Yaoxie said.

"I know, my master specifically instructed me to do this. Don't worry, I know this herb, I will help you find it," Ling Yue assured him.

So, after breakfast, Ling Yue took Lin Yaoxie up the mountain.

While on the mountain, the two began searching for the "no plum grass".

Ling Yue told Lin Yaoxie about the characteristics of the herb.

"Senior brother, Master asked you to investigate the matter of the poisonous snake, right? How's the investigation going? Do you know who's trying to harm me?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"We haven't found out yet, so don't worry," Ling Yue said.

"How can I not be anxious? If they find out, I won't let him off the hook. He almost killed Feng Qingxue," Lin Yaoxie said angrily.

"Hey, actually, it's obvious that person wasn't after Feng Qingxue. Her poisoning was just an accident. They were mainly after you. You'd better be careful from now on," Ling Yue said.

Master Ziyin has instructed everyone not to let the news of this matter leak out.

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Plum-less Grass

Because everyone understands the principle, but no one says it out loud; they just keep it silently in their hearts.

If word gets out, the old woman from Youdu will definitely come knocking on our door.

However, Master Ziyin has not yet found the person who released the snake, so how can he explain this to the old woman in Youdu?

"Hey, senior brother, I think I've found it. Look at this, is it?" Suddenly, Lin Yaoxie said happily, and then he picked some herbs and showed them to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue glanced at it and said, "That's it. But I think Qingxue's poisoning seems quite severe this time, so we should find more to take back, just in case."

"

Lin Yaoxie nodded, and then continued searching with Ling Yue.

Then, the two of them searched and found more and more.

When they had almost finished searching, Ling Yue said, "Alright, demon, let's go back first. Saving Qingxue is the priority."

“Alright, let’s go back first. Anyway, we’ve found so much of this Plum Blossom Grass, it seems like we should have enough,” Lin Yaoxie replied.

So the two of them started down the mountain path.

However, the more Lin Yaoxie walked, the more uneasy he felt. He always felt that something was following him, but every time he turned around to look, he couldn't find anything.

Looking at Lin Yaoxie's neurotic appearance, Ling Yue said helplessly, "Yaoxie, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep turning around to look at something?"

"Senior brother, I have a feeling that something is following us. Something doesn't feel right," Lin Yaoxie said.

After Lin Yaoxie said that, Ling Yue also became wary.

“What you said seems to make a lot of sense to me…” Ling Yue said.

So the two of them stopped and began to look around.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew over.

The environment suddenly became blurry.

“Senior brother…it seems there’s something fishy going on,” Lin Yaoxie said.

Suddenly, a huge magical beast appeared in their line of sight.

The magical beast looked rather strange. Its body was blue, but its eyes were red. Lin Yaoxie had never seen such a strange magical beast before.

"Senior brother, do you know what kind of magical beast it is?" Lin Yaoxie asked, pulling Ling Yue back two steps.

Ling Yue thought for a while.

“I’ve heard my master mention the characteristics of this magical beast before, but I’ve forgotten them now,” Ling Yue said.

The monsters gradually approached them.

Its gaze emitted a cold light.

"Senior brother, I think this demonic beast is difficult to deal with and will be quite troublesome. How about this, you take Wumeicao back to Tianyong City first, and I'll hold it off here," Lin Yaoxie said.

“That won’t do,” Ling Yue immediately objected to Lin Yaoxie’s suggestion.

He was very worried that Lin Yaoxie would be buried here.

"But senior brother..." Lin Yaoxie wanted to say something more to persuade Ling Yue to leave.

However, Ling Yue didn't listen anymore and quickly interrupted Lin Yaoxie's next words.

"Alright, the monster is right in front of us anyway. If we can beat it, we'll fight it together. If we can't, we'll run away together. I'm not going to leave you here alone," Ling Yue said decisively.
