475 Secrets of the Pas (1/2)

”It seems that your friend always stabs you in the back at every critical time.”

In the hidden safe house, Lola overlooked the pathetic Ye Qingxuan gloatingly. ”Gavin did so at that time. This time is the same. If I were you, I would consider maybe I'm not good at choosing friends. And who told me that if there was something, he would run faster than anybody? If I wasn't paying attention this time, you may have…”

In the bed, Ye Qingxuan was covered with a thick layer of ointment which exuded the pungent smell of medicine. Medicine was also injected into his hands. He was at the edge of death but his breathing was smooth and normal. There was not even the slightest dullness or panic in his dark eyes. There was only calmness.

”You have been sarcastic enough. Just get down to business.” He stretched out his hand and spoke with a hoarse voice. ”Where is the thing?”

Seeing that he was not repentant, Lola grunted and threw out a badge from her bosom. ”You're really creative to have a demon help you keep this thing.”

The pure silver-forged emblem sizzled in her hands, clearly hurting her every moment. However, when Ye Qingxuan held it in hand, a faint light was emitted. Soon his bruises faded.

”Wait. Use it after I go out. Do not affect me.”

After giving that thing to him, Lola went to the door as if she was avoiding pests.

In Ye Qingxuan's hand, the pure silver-forged emblem was engraved with a healing movement of the School of Choir. It was the most advanced kind, claiming that it could cure anyone as long as he was still breathing.

This one-time badge could be sold for a stunningly scary price on the black market.

After all, it was precious alchemy that could save a life.

Even when the door was closed, Lola could still feel the sting like a thorn in her back. She walked further. Even so, she could still sense the breath that had made her so uncomfortable in the secret chamber.

Then, huge aetheric waves that she had not anticipated were set off. In a blink, she felt a roaring melody burst from the aether sea. The tremendous waves swept everything, pulling a huge amount of aether into it.

That was definitely not the degree that Ye Qingxuan could reach. It was far beyond his ability.

Divine light was produced from the aether. The blazing light was beyond what Lola had expected. Through two walls, more than ten meters in distance, Lola could still feel the heat.

Even breathing was like chewing blades and needles.

If Lola had not purchased this all by herself, she would have suspected that one of the masters of the Choir was treating Ye Qingxuan personally here. Fortunately, the power came and went quickly. Soon, she heard the door open.

In her startled eyes, the completely healed Ye Qingxuan walked out of the door. Although his body still smelled strongly of medicine, he had fully recovered. Not even the slightest slight wound could be found. The guy who had just broken more than ten bones, covered in bruises, and lost half of his lungs now stood right before her.

”What drugs did you take?” Lola gaped. ”How did you recover so quickly?” Even after the treatment, an average person would have only recovered from immediate danger. No one would be like Ye Qingxuan who was recovered as if he had changed a body!

”The biggest mistake that Wolf Flute has ever made is to forget to cancel the bell tower blessing that the Silent Authority gave to me.” Ye Qingxuan looked at his intact hands. He snapped and substantial aetheric light burst out. ”Don't forget, I'm still a grandmaster.”

Lola frowned. ”What tricks are you going to play? Ye Qingxuan, you have been involved in this matter too deeply.”

”That's why we have to catch Gaius.” Ye Qingxuan's answer was emphatic. ”If Gaius isn't caught, then the Scared City must have a man to be blamed... Do you think it's going to be better for me and Charles?”

Lola was silent.

”I was unexpectedly cheated. It's so embarrassing.” Ye Qingxuan rolled his neck. ”No matter what, he needs to pay me.”

”I'd like to say that although I am happy to kill Bach's students, I was crippled for so many years so I am definitely not the guy's opponent.” Lola looked at him like she was looking at a madman. ”Or do you think you can handle this by yourself?”

”Wolf Flute did teach me a lesson.” Ye Qingxuan asked, ”When have I had a head-on confrontation with my enemy? Don't I always rely on dirty tricks? Why would I fight with a scepter so formally?”

Lola had no words but shook her head. ”It's been half an hour now. Are you sure you can catch up?”
