2128 The Master Is Here (2/2)

”Do you know how to cure it?”

Han Xiao shook his head. ”Nope, I told you before I can only treat external wounds and know nothing else. Moreover, the poison in him was planted right about when he was born, so it's deeply rooted inside his bone marrow. Also, the poison inside him is slightly different from the version I know. It went through mutation, so nothing will help even if I get you the cure of the version I know of. It can only be cured by the person who used this poison.”

”How could it be like this?” Ning Xi fell into despair.

Han Xiao was in doubt. ”This is odd. I checked him just now. Under normal circumstances, the poison should've been triggered two years ago. Why would it have been delayed until now?”

”This... I don't know too…” Ning Xi was confused.

Lu Tingxiao handed Han Xiao a tiny fragrance pouch. ”Is it because of this?”

Ning Xi was surprised to see that fragrance pouch. ”Is that the fragrance pouch Annie gave Little Treasure two years ago?”

Lu Tingxiao nodded. ”Mmm.”

Han Xiao smelled the fragrant pouch and squinted his eyes. ”It's because of this. This is similar with the medical pouch earlier, but this lost its effectiveness because it's been too long.”

The reason for the late development of the poison was finally revealed.

However, Ning Xi had more questions. ”Why would Annie give me this fragrance pouch to delay Little Treasure's poison?”

”Maybe it's not time yet?” Tang Lang guessed.

When Annie found out about her relationship with Lu Tingxiao, she seemed very against Lu Tingxiao, and had even warned her about the cons of being a stepmother. She kept trying to convince Ning Xi to leave Lu Tingxiao.
