Chapter 66 Exposed (1/2)

The room was stiflingly silent and no one dared to speak. The only noise that could be heard was the nearly inaudible rustle of master Ying's Genesis Rune Brush across the skin.

As time slowly flowed, an extremely complicated rune began to emerge on Wei Bin's body. The rune extended across half of his body and gave off a faint yet astonis.h.i.+ng aura.

”It's a grade 3 Genesis Rune!” There was a grave expression on Wei Canglan's face. Soon after, he remarked with a sigh of admiration, ”But it looks to be a support type rune, so little Bin's weak body should be able to handle its power.”

With one last hooking motion, master Ying's brush tip completed the final stroke. If one took a look at this moment, one would see a mysterious glow emerge from the now complete Genesis Rune. The light spread a little before shrinking back, burrowing into Wei Bin's body.

Wei Bin released a groan of pain as he tightly clenched his fists.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qingqing anxiously called out, ”Little brother!”

Master Ying smiled faintly and said, ”No need to worry miss Wei, my Genesis Rune has begun neutralizing the poison, a process that will be a little painful.”

Wei Qingqing nodded when she heard his explanation. She could only try to restraint the worry in her heart though her gaze never budged an inch from Wei Bin.

A long and tense wait ensued, before everyone discovered that the black spots on Wei Bin's body had indeed started to show signs of receding. In a short few minutes, the originally appalling black dots had completely vanished.

”The Devil Miasma Poison has been neutralized?!” Wei Qingqing's shocked voice rang out as joy flooded her face.

Wei Canglan's eyes were wide open, his fists tightly clenched, his heart trembling with emotion.

Master Ying proudly said, ”I came across this grade 3 Genesis Rune by chance. It is known as the Poison Neutralization Rune and is capable of neutralizing all poisons, even one as domineering as the Devil Miasma Poison.”

Wei Canglan nodded as he sighed in admiration, ”The Poison Neutralization Rune is indeed very formidable. Although it is only grade 3, it has managed to dispel even the Black Venom King's Devil Miasma Poison.”

He looked towards master Ying and respectfully cupped his fists. ”Master Ying is truly the benefactor of my Wei family.”

Wei Qingqing also hastily bowed towards master Ying.

Master Ying responded with a light smile, ”I came here on the request of another.”

Wei Canglan could not help but sigh in his heart as he glanced at the smiling Qi Hao and the expressionless Zhou Yuan. This debt of grat.i.tude was really far too great.

Wei Canglan said, ”Your highness, you should temporarily stay in the barracks. A storm is stirring over Canglan County and all sorts of characters have gathered here. The barracks is the safest place for you.”

Lu Tieshan's expression changed slightly. Did Weird Canglan intend to confine them to the barracks? If so, how would they be able to vie for the Fire Spirit Grain and Jade Infant Fruit?

Qi Hao had a faint smile on his face as he looked towards Zhou Yuan, a toying smile overflowing with mockery.

Wei Qingqing sighed inwardly and shook her head.

”What are all of you so happy about?” As the atmosphere grew heavier, an indifferent yet melodious voice was heard. Everyone turned, only to find that it was Yaoyao who had spoken.

Qi Hao chuckled and said, ”Hehe, young master Wei's poison has be successfully neutralized and is on route to a full recovery. Is this not a matter worth celebrating?”

Yaoyao stroked Tuntun's fur as she said, ”It would certainly be a happy event if the poison was fully neutralized, but I'm afraid that such superficial effort would instead hurt him even more.”

The expression of everyone in the room changed the moment these words were said.

Master Ying was the first to react. His expression frosty as he scolded in anger, ”Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting!”

Wei Canglan frowned deeply, his eyes like a lion's as he stared at Yaoyao. ”What do you mean young miss? If you are spouting nonsense, I'm afraid that I will have to teach you a lesson even if you are part of his highness' entourage.”

Yaoyao paid no attention to them, walking towards the bed instead as her eyes swept over Wei Bin while her red lips parted slightly, ”Poison Neutralization Rune? What a joke.”

Master Ying's rage swelled as he shouted, ”Are you blind little girl? Do you see any traces of poison on his body? Do not blame me for being rude if you continue to utter such unreasonable nonsense!”

By the side, Wei Qingqing's brows were also furrowed. There was currently a hint of healthy rosiness on Wei Bin's pale face, a sign that the poison had indeed been successfully neutralized. Wei Canglan's expression was stern because he had checked previously and the Devil Miasma Poison had indeed disappeared from Wei Bin's body.

Yaoyao continued to ignore master Ying's bellowing and instead indifferently said to Wei Canglan, ”Poke a needle three inches above the tailbone.”

Master Ying's pupils seemed to shrink when he heard these words. He immediately faced Wei Canglan and said in a low voice, ”Great general, I was invited to provide my services, not to be told off by a little wench!”

Qi Hao also spoke up, ”Great general, master Ying rushed here from far away to save young master Wei. It will be really cold to doubt him at this point.”

Wei Canglan hesitated after hearing their words.

Zhou Yuan suddenly interjected at this moment, ”Great general, young master Wei's life is at stake here. It will be best to get to the bottom of it so as to avoid any future regrets.”

Wei Canglan's expression fluctuated for some time. He ultimately cupped his fists towards master Ying and said, ”Please accommodate me master Ying, I will definitely seek justice on your behalf if I find that they are slandering you.”

”Bring me a silver needle!”

Wei Canglan icily shouted and a servant girl immediate brought over a silver needle.

Wei Canglan grabbed the needle and approached the bed as he confirmed in a low voice, ”Three inches above the tailbone?”

Yaoyao replied indifferently, ”All of the Devil Miasma Poison has been forced into that very spot by master Ying. No other place will work, it has to be here.”

Wei Canglan took one long and deep look at Yaoyao before decisively taking action. The needle in his hand instantly pierced the spot three inches above Wei Bin's tailbone. Half of the needle disappeared, before being slowly drawn out.
