Chapter 573 - Venomous Armored Insect (1/2)

“Though I’ve learned of the symptoms and formula from you, we haven’t seen any patient with our own eyes. So I can’t guarantee that I’ll come up with a solution. Besides, the plague has spread to the entire state. I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.”

Lin Mengya was worried about it as well.

According to Long Tianyu’s words, she could go to the Yun State, but she couldn’t go to the core places.

That was to say, she could only deal with the aftermath or take precautions outside the core places.

The contribution she could make to the epidemic area would be greatly weakened.

“You’re right, but I’ve once seen a patient who got poisoned by a similar poison. And I think this poison may be closely related to the one in the epidemic area. If we work on the solution together, Mr. Baili, will the success rate be higher?”

The patient she referred to was Xiao Yixin.

He had arrived at Lin Mengya’s mansion long ago. With her token, he had been treated very well.

Though he said he had let it go, Lin Mengya believed that he had had enough of suffering from the poison, given that he once was such a big shot.

It was just that he had always been a quiet gentleman, so he wouldn’t talk about it if Lin Mengya didn’t mention it.

“Of course! Bring him here, hurry up. This time, I’ll go with you. I really want to meet this vicious schemer in person!”

Baili Rui’s eyes were shining. It was hard to tell whether it was because of excitement or anger.

Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment. She realized that her teacher seemed to have become more vivacious.

She looked at him with a strange expression and wondered if falling in love would change a person’s personality.

It reminded her of Long Tianyu, who would chat and joke with her recently.

She nodded heavily in her heart. “It seems it will.”

“Okay. I’ll go find him right now. Please wait for a moment. He is in my mansion now.”

In fact, it didn’t take long for Lin Mengya to find Xiao Yixin.

When Long Tianyu asked her where she was going, she just replied that Baili Rui wanted her to bring Xiao Yixin over so that they could discuss the matter about the Immortal Powder.

It made sense. Since the current Immortal Powder was made based on Baili Rui’s old formula, Long Tianyu certainly would recover faster with his help.

When Lin Mengya brought Xiao Yixin to the stone room eagerly, to her surprise, her teacher and Long Tianyu were not arguing somehow.

“I’ll have to trouble you for all this, Mr. Baili.”

Long Tianyu stood up, cupped his hands, and said to Baili Rui seriously.

“Don’t worry. I know what to do. You’re occupied with numerous affairs every day, Prince Yu, so leave these trivial things to me.”

Baili Rui also had a serious expression on his face. The two of them bowed to each other in a natural and unrestrained manner.

Standing in front of Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the messy long hair beside her ear.

“Don’t come back too late.”

Lin Mengya nodded. She knew that Long Tianyu was worried about her condition.

However, since Baili Rui was there and Lin Mengya was just his assistant, it wouldn’t take her long.

After a quick glance at Xiao Yixin, Long Tianyu left the stone room quickly.

However, Lin Mengya, who had always been sensitive, felt that there seemed to be something weird about these two people.

However, she didn’t know what exactly it was.

“Sit down.”

Her teacher said coldly to Xiao Yixin, so different from when he talked to her.

Xiao Yixin immediately bowed to Baili Rui as a junior before sitting cautiously on the chair in front of him.

“Mr. Baili, this is Xiao Yixin. His family and my family are friends for generations, and he is my brother’s friend. As you can see, the poison has caused his muscle to atrophy and shift, and that’s why he becomes what he looks like now.”

After Baili Rui heard those words, his sharp gaze fell on Xiao Yixin and then on Lin Mengya.

“You go out first, Mengya. I want to check up on him and you’re a girl, so you need to go out for a moment.”

Lin Mengya was surprised at the words. Back when she was an intern, she had seen all kinds of bodies.

She had studied the structure of the human body thoroughly in the anatomy class.

She wanted to refuse but surrendered in the end as his teacher was glaring at her with a serious look.

She had no choice because a student in ancient times must follow his teacher’s order.

Though the door was ajar and Lin Mengya was bored, she wouldn’t be as stupid as to peep into it because there were guards around.

Standing in the passageway, she listened carefully to what was going on inside the room.

In the beginning, everything seemed to be going well, but gradually—

“Ahh—it hurts! Mr. Baili…I…”

“Huh?” Lin Mengya widened her eyes. “It’s just a check-up. Why did Xiao Yixin scream so shrilly?”
