C24 (2/2)
”Yes,” Lu Yi lowered her head and said in a low voice, ”It was when I was in a coma from typhoid that he fed it to save me.”
The man in black said, ”He actually gave the life-saving pellets he used to someone else!”
Lu Yi said, ”You gave that Jindan to him, right? If you give him one, you can give him a second one. Hurry up and give him another one!”
The man in black glanced at him. ”If I had it, I would have taken it out long ago.” As he said that, he placed Jin Jian in front of him and sat cross-legged behind him. He circulated his inner force and continuously channeled the frost zhen Qi that he had cultivated through all these years in order to enter Jin Jian's body.
Jin Jian's expression began to return to normal, and the cold air in his mouth gradually became less and less.
After a while, his body finally stopped trembling and he fainted in the arms of the man in black.
The black-clothed man glanced at Lu Yi. ”Just now, when I was channeling my cultivation for Jin Jian, I realized that Jin Jian's illness wasn't an ordinary one. It seemed to have triggered some kind of illness in him. What's going on?”
Lu Yi's eyes flickered as she said, ”Then, then, then, how, how would I know?”
The black-clothed person looked at her and said, ”You said that you don't know, but your appearance tells me that you do.”
Lu Yi gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, ”That … That's because he drank Blood Race's Ice and Snow Wine.”
”Hmm?” ”Ice and Snow Wine is a cold wine that directly affects one's heart's blood. Its effect is the exact opposite of that of Flame Wine. Since Jin Jian has the disease of the cold blood, why would he drink Ice and Snow Wine?”
”Because …” Lu Yi bit her lips, ”Because I lied to him, saying that it was Fiery Wine!”
”You knew he was suffering from the cold of blood and yet you tricked him into drinking Ice and Snow Wine?” The black-clothed person's gaze was like lightning as he stared fixedly at the wiggling green light.
”No, at the time, I did not know!”
The black clothed man stared at Lu Yi for a moment before letting out a soft sigh. With a bitter smile, he said, ”Hmph, he used the Yang Jindan to save your life, but you almost took it from him with the Ice and Snow Wine!”
Lu Yi bit her lips, but didn't say anything. Her eyes, however, no longer dared to meet the black-clothed man's gaze.
When the black-clothed man saw Jin Jian's face turn from white to red, gradually regaining its liveliness, but he was still unconscious, he raised his head and looked outside the cave. He said to Lu Yi, ”Take care of him. I'll be back shortly.”
Just as she was about to nod in assent to the awkward atmosphere, she saw a blur in front of her, and the black clothed man had already disappeared.
Lu Yi heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, but it seemed to have become a lot more stable.
She was really afraid that the man in black would continue asking, because when she first gave the Ice and Snow Fruit Wine to Jin Jian to drink, she was very clear about Jin Jian's condition.
Before he left, his father told him that Jin Jian had a blood cold illness and passed the Ice and Snow Fruit Wine to him so that he could cheat Jin Jian into drinking it. Back then, she had lied to him and said that he started drinking it since he was young, so Jin Jian didn't doubt it at all and drank it. He thought about how foolish Jin Jian was. He had just been chased by his father once and was determined to get rid of it. However, he did not doubt the thing that he had given him at all and drank it down.
From the looks of it, that black-clothed person must be this fellow's friend or relative, or an important figure who is extremely nervous of Jin Jian's safety. Once he knows that I intentionally assassinated Jin Jian, he will definitely punish me. If they were to really fight, I would definitely be the one to suffer.
When she thought of this, Lu Yi looked at Jin Jian, who was standing to the side. She thought to herself, ”Although that black-clothed man's technique restrains the cold, this is definitely a world of ice and snow. He just experienced the pain of blood freezing, how can he be frozen?”
Ye Zichen held Jin Jian in his arms again, and reached out to touch his face. Luckily, it wasn't very cold.
As she gazed at the unconscious Jin Jian, Lu Yi secretly thought to herself, ”You can't let anything happen to him. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to that man in black.” Thinking this way, she could not help but worry that the man in black would come back and question her again. She hoped that Jin Jian would wake up soon, but she did not know why, at this moment, she felt that as long as Jin Jian woke up, he would definitely protect her and not let her be harmed.
He was lost in thought for a while when he heard a whoosh. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.
Lu Yi was shocked and subconsciously hugged Jin Jian even more tightly. It was only when he looked closely that he realized it was the man in black.
The black-clothed man stood in front of Lu Yi, holding a large wine jar as he walked over. He pointed at Jin Jian, who was in Lu Yi's embrace, and said, ”I got some Flaming Wine from the Blood Ice Mountain. Let him go first and feed him a few mouthfuls.”
When Lu Yi heard this, she released Jin Jian, who was in her embrace, and fed Jin Jian a few mouthfuls of Flame Wine.
Lu Yi placed her hand on Jin Jian's face and said happily, ”It's really Fiery Wine. There's warmth on his face.”
The man in black smiled and placed the leftover fire wine on the other side of the reef.
