Chapter 31: Venom of Fire (1)
In the past, quite a number of people had tried researching the applications of both items. However, it was only years later that they managed to grasp the general idea. Thus, although others might become wary of Ye Qingtang's mass purchase, they never knew their purpose for now.
“You really .... pretty awesome . "Si Bai chuckled. He had no intention of investigating further.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the Si household. After stepping through the entrance, Si Bai clearly sensed that something was amiss.
Even when they were still along the passageway, Ye Qingtang could hear the commotion coming all the way from the main hall.
“Grandfather, we can't delay his treatment. I will negotiate with the Duans to obtain their Fire Suppressing Pill. "A deep voice resounded in the main hall.
"Dr. Xu has already started his treatment. Getting the Duans to work together would not be easy. In addition, they may seem friendly to us, but that is only on the surface. Who knows what they're doing behind our backs. Even if you approach them personally, I doubt they will comply. ”Old Master Si's answer followed, with a tone hinting at his sadness.
Ye Qingtang and Si Bai glanced at each other before they entered the main hall in the next second.
Aside from Old Master Si, there was another man with a large stature and a gallant look who bore a striking resemblance to Si Bai, although he looked more mature and powerful.
"Bro?" Si Bai was a little surprised by the presence of the man.
The man was the eldest young king of the Si household and Si Bai's eldest brother, Si Ye.
"You are back . '' Si Ye nodded slightly as he greeted Si Bai.
"Bro, when are you back? I've heard you talk about someone's care …. Where is Si Qiong? ”Si Bai became solemn. The younger generation of their family consisted only of those three brothers. Si Bai, the youngest and suffering from a weak constitution from birth, was showered with love from his eldest brother, Si Ye, and his older brother, Si Qiong. As such, the relationship of the brothers is certainly friendly.
As soon as he asked about Si Qiong, Si Ye's expression turned serious. He did not directly answer Si Bai but instead looked at Old Master Si.
Si Bai wavered for a moment.
Ifrit's fire poison is known to be deadly. This can cause exothermic effects on vital organs. Dousing effects with common medications has been shown to be ineffective. The death rate was nearly nine out of ten, where victims had to actually suffer the burning pain until their life force was exhausted.
The only known cure at this time was to consume ice lotus, which can only be found growing in the Yucang mountains.
The Yucang mountains were a long distance away from Lin City. A round trip will most likely take at least a month. When time is critical, bringing an ice lotus all the way from the mountains will not be a viable solution.
"I've sent our men to get that ice lotus. All we need now is to borrow the Flame Suppressant pill from the Duan household. "Si Ye knit her brows as she repeated her plan.
The Flame Suppressant Pill, as the name implies, was able to delay the effects of the Flame Venom, which in turn, would buy enough time for the ice lotus retrieval.
“But Bro, the pill is their family heirloom. As grandfather said, I doubt they will just give it to you. "The face of Si Bai went dark as he stated the facts.
Si Ye's eyebrows remained knitted. He was fully aware of that real fact. But ... without that pill, Si Qiong's life would be beyond doubt ….
“I can help suppress the poison. ”
When the members of the Si family were in trouble, the voice of a girl was clearly heard amidst the commotion.
Si Ye turned his attention to the voice and finally noticed the girl standing next to Si Bai.
"Who is this woman?" Si Ye asked politely.
"She is the young lady of the Ye household, Miss Ye Qingtang. '' Si Bai stated clearly.
