Chapter 1521: Chapter 1343: A Stormy Night in Jianghu
Xia Dabao curled her lip at Bei Shan, “Dragon Tooth gang lacks masters? Are you joking? The lady of the Dragon Tooth gang is one of the top experts!”
No sooner had Xia Dabao finished speaking than Yun Xiao received a kick from Brother Ye. The kick landed on his left shoulder, and he quickly fell down, while Brother Ye stood high above him, looking down.
Although Yun Xiao had lost, he could tell that Brother Ye had no real intention of dealing with him, so he calmly said, “I lost, but what brings you to our Chi Xia clan?”
Brother Ye gave Yun Xiao a fist salute, then said, “Young hero, please rise. I am from the Central Plains, and because my child is gravely ill, I heard that your Chi Xia clan could cure my son’s illness, so I specifically came here seeking medical advice.”
Yun Xiao got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and then turned to look our way, but the first person he saw was Xia Dabao.
Her? Yun Xiao immediately froze.
Ever since he had sobered up that day, he had thought from time to time about the scene after the drinking bout.
Just like Bei Shan said, he had made many mistakes when drunk, tried to catch fish in the pond like a duck, and played in the trees like a monkey, but he had never before held a woman.
He had always kept away from the allure of women.
Yet on that day, he’d held onto a maiden and cried out for her as if she were his mother.
But such affairs, how could Yun Xiao admit to them? After glancing at Xia Dabao, he simply pretended not to recognize her and only looked at Axian in Nan Feng’s arms.
“Brother Yun, do you remember me?” Xia Dabao asked anxiously.
But as soon as she asked, she suddenly understood something, “Yun Xiao, you’re with Bei Shan, aren’t you? That day you were actually following me. If you hadn’t been drunk, you might have continued, right? I remember you dressed all in black, and your hair is purple, isn’t it?”
Hearing that Xia Dabao had met Yun Xiao before, both Nan Feng and Brother Ye felt puzzled.
It turned out that so much had happened during Xia Dabao’s trip to the Dragon Tooth gang.
Xia Dabao went on, “Never mind what happened that day, we are here to seek a cure this time. My brother has contracted a very strange illness, and we heard that your Chi Xia clan can treat it, so we came.”
What puzzled Xia Dabao was that Yun Xiao, who had been so charming in the inn that day, was now cold and detached, not even glancing at Xia Dabao but only looking at Axian, “The Chi Xia clan serves the Southern Zhao Kingdom, practicing poison gu, which, to put it plainly, is used to harm people. When has it ever been used to save people? You better leave quickly. If you’re ill, go out and find a healer; coming here is tantamount to courting death.”
Still as poisonous-tongued as ever.
However, Bei Shan on the side said, “Yun Xiao, you must be mistaken. Our Chi Xia clan, although known for the deadliest poisons, also has the gu for saving people. Fight poison with poison, you know.”
After saying this, Bei Shan lightly tapped his mouth, “Look at this loose tongue of mine, why should I tell them? It’s best if they leave right away.”
Yun Xiao then turned back to face Brother Ye, “If you leave now, you’re lucky, you might find a healer who can save your son, and your family can be happily reunited. But if it’s too late, the whole family might end up dying here. Although I can’t defeat you, in the Chi Xia clan, we have a thousand ways to make you die miserably.”
But Brother Ye was resolute as he stared at Yun Xiao, “I was referred here by a doctor from the Dajin Dynasty. We won’t leave until our goal is reached, even if it means forcing our way through.”
