Chapter 136 Highly Skilled with Poison (2/2)
Feng Xiao saw the figure in black leaping away in escape, quickly disappearing into the night and he immediately ordered the guards to go capture the culprit.
How could the speed of the Feng Guards hope to be able to catch up to Feng Jiu? Even upon leaving the Feng Residence, Feng Jiu had not stopped continuing with her leaps and bounds, quickly leaving her pursuers far behind. Only when she came close to the outside of the courtyard upon her return did she bring the Old Patriarch out and jumped leapt into the manor while holding him to go to the inner courtyard.
”Little Jiu, how was it? Did it go well?” Guan Xi Lin and Leng Shuang had waited within the courtyard for her and when they saw her come back, they immediately rushed up to her to help.
”It went alright.” Feng Jiu replied as she handed the Old Patriarch to Guan Xi Lin and then went on to say: ”Bring him into the room first. Leng Shuang, you stay guard here in the courtyard.”
”Yes.” Leng Shuang acknowledged, and remained in the courtyard.
Inside the room, Guan Xi Lin laid the Old Patriarch gently upon the bed as he stared at the thin and unconscious old man. He turned his head back around to seek Feng Jiu and asked: ”Little Jiu, what is wrong with your Grandfather? Why does his entire person look so haggard?”
Feng Jiu walked out from behind the screen, already changed into casual clothes. She washed her hands and then came walking over as she said: ”Big Brother, help me draw a basin of clear water here first.”
As she spoke, she sat herself down by the bed and checked her Grandfather over once again, before she pulled out a silver needle and place it to the side.
Guan Xi Lin then came in with the clean water and he put it down at the side before he stood on one end of the bed, not wanting to interrupt Feng Jiu. He saw her taking out a silver needle and then p.r.i.c.king it over all ten of her Grandfather's fingers with it before putting the old man's hands into the water while squeezing the blood out.
When he saw the basin of water becoming stained with blood that had a blackish tinge, he could not hold back his gasp.
”That venomous woman had actually used poison upon your Grandfather!”
Feng Jiu's gaze darkened and she said: ”She is really highly skilled with poison. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many physicians to be unable to detect it.”
