Chapter 201 - Poison
Chapter 201 - Poison
Bai Rouyun glanced out the window. The treetops were fluttering in the wind, the breeze drifting through the leaves, creating a rustling sound that unknowingly calmed the listeners.
The voice of the teacher was ringing in the background, but Bai Rouyun was not capable of focusing on the lectures.
Bai Rouyun and Dongfang Yu had said their farewell to the other youngsters of the Saintly Cloud Sect the day before, but after parting ways, a strange feeling had enveloped her.
She did not know what this emotion meant, and she could not help but feel restless. Her body was tingling with unrest, feeling it torturous to sit down, waiting for the lecture to end.
Although she was not sure what was going on, her heart was aching badly, as if something bad was likely to happen, but everything seemed normal.
Retracting her eyes from the outside, Bai Rouyun glanced at the various students in the class, and her eyes rested on Dongfang Yu for a moment.
While he held the usual smile on his face, she saw a trace of solemnity in his eyes. She was not sure what was happening, but she did not need to think much to understand that this young man also felt that something was wrong.
As to whether or not it was a scheme, and if he had a part in it, Bai Rouyun did not know, but her eyes could not help but narrow.
As her eyes continued to search the various students in the class, her brows could not help but furrow. What most feared was not the strong, but the unknown.
This could be seen from Li Moyun’s current situation. When he was mysterious, and no one knew his actual identity, he was feared by all, and no one would even think of trying to influence him. Still, now that his identity had been unveiled, the factions could not wait to rush to his door and deliver themselves.
It was the same with Bai Rouyun. The reason she had been able to stay safe was due to others being unable to see through her. Since they could not guarantee absolute success, they dared not move.
"The class has been dismissed."
While Bai Rouyun was deep in thought, a pleasant and gentle voice sounded above her head, and when she raised her head, she noticed that Dongfang Yu had appeared in front of her, a bit of helplessness evident in his eyes.
It took a moment before she tried to understand what he had said. She had been so immersed in her own thoughts that it took her some time to step out of them again.
None of the other students wanted to socialize with Bai Rouyun out of fear of Li Moyun, but Dongfang Yu appeared so casual by her side.
In fact, when the youngsters from the Saintly Cloud Sect had arrived, he had been like the others, and would have feared her, but after the others left, it was as if he had become another person. It was as if he had lost a shackle that had kept him down.
Bai Rouyun could not help but wonder what exactly had happened, and without realizing it, she was staring right at Dongfang Yu with curiosity in her eyes.
Although he was being stared at in such a blatant way, Dongfang Yu said nothing, neither did he move. He allowed her to stare at him with no intention to hide.
Her hand tapped her chin twice before she opened her mouth to say something extremely shocking.
"I can cure you."
The words were like a shattering earthquake to Dongfang Yu. His eyes widened in shock, and his jaw dropped. The extreme expression showed her that this young man was not expecting her to be able to see his problems.
"This should be the Thousand Ant Poison," Bai Rouyun said without paying attention to the young man who was standing stunned in front of her.
Hearing her mention the name of the poison that he was suffering from, the eyes of Dongfang Yu widened even further, making him seem so shocked that his thoughts started running wildly.
She said she could heal him! She even mentioned the name of the poison!
Dongfang Yu was indeed poisoned. He had no expectations from any other person in the world, as the one who had poisoned him was his dear brother, and thus he had accepted the mission of going to Canglan City.
He never intended to return to the sect, as he had already tried to seek justice, only to be accused of slandering his own brother.
Since he did no longer belong to the Saintly Cloud Sect, he planned on spending the rest of his life wandering, but after hearing Bai Rouyun’s question the previous day, he felt his heart tremble.
"I do wish to see the world," he suddenly said. "But reality will not let me. Although I do not wish to accept my fate, there is no way for me to change it. As things are now, no matter how unwilling I am, I have to spend every day as if it was my last. I do not wish to have regrets when I leave."
Dongfang Yu knew that the Thousand Ant Poison was near impossible to treat. While it was somewhat hard to refine this poison, it was worth all the effort put into it, as it was truly a sinister poison that only ruthless people would use.
Bai Rouyun had the pill formula to concoct the pill, she even had the medicinal herbs needed within her Primal Chaos Dimension, but she did not have the skills to refine it.
Thinking for a moment, Bai Rouyun made up her mind. "Come here, we are going to see Brother Wen."
