Chapter 1719: Chapter 1718: This Ti I’m Really Not Lying to You
“What is it?” Bei Lingsu eyed him warily.
“You should first burn these corpses along with the gold and silver. If we delay any longer, the infection might truly spread.”
Bei Lingsu: “…Tell first what you intend to consult about.”
She was genuinely afraid of Bei Yun. If the corpses were burned and the sll emitted turned out to be another type of poison, wouldn’t she fall for his trap again?
Bei Yun barely ever spoke the truth!
“If you don’t burn them, I’ll call soone from Three Kingdoms to do it.” Bei Yun said, turning to shout in their direction.
“Hey, wait a mont!” Bei Lingsu stopped him upon seeing this. She glared at him, gritting her teeth, and said, “I will trust you this one last ti!”
As those words left her mouth, a flicker of emotion flashed across Bei Yun’s face. “…Aunt Lingsu, you’re actually willing to trust one more ti?”
“This is the last ti.” Bei Lingsu pointed her finger at him, then turned to call upon those from Daqi to bring torches and oil using internal energy.
Bei Yun stared at her, pressing his lips together, deeply surprised.
Bei Lingsu was actually willing to trust him one final ti. Unbelievable.
He thought the only two people in this world who wouldn’t actively turn against him—people with whom he could coexist peacefully—were gone. Yet, surprisingly, Bei Lingsu not only hadn’t struck him, but was even willing to trust him one more ti.
Even when his parents were alive, things hadn’t been any better than this.
A person like him, soone even he himself loathed, yet Bei Lingsu was still willing to believe…
His nose suddenly tingled, and he hurriedly turned to gaze at the distant mountains, taking a few deep breaths.
No crying. No emotional fluctuations. At such a critical mont, he mustn’t let the poison flare up.
“Hey, what do you want to ask ?” After issuing her orders, Bei Lingsu turned to him and saw him staring toward the far-off mountains. She rushed him, “Speak quickly—I’m pressed for ti.”
Bei Yun took several deep breaths to push away the complicated emotions in his heart. He looked at Bei Lingsu, his face now showing a faint smile. “Aunt Lingsu, tell them to stop. There’s no need to burn. If the poison from the gold and silver encounters fire, it’ll combine with the tals to create another type of toxic gas.”
“Simply bury them on the spot. After a month, the toxins will dissipate into the soil.”
Bei Lingsu: “…”
She stared at Bei Yun, her face devoid of even the fury she initially held.
A profound sense of helplessness settled over her.
Calling him a beast was insulting to the beasts; he was truly worse than any beast.
Saying he was a beast was practically praising him!
“Bury them deep, but don’t let it seep into the groundwater. Otherwise, the poison will contaminate the water supply as well,” Bei Yun instructed, his smile widening. “These dozens of carts of gold and silver were earned by Qiao Xiaomai—later, you can send soone to dig them up.”
“Of course, if you’re still worried, you can dig them up yourself. I wouldn’t harm you.”
Bei Lingsu: “…”
She wearily rubbed her face. “Are you telling the truth?”
“This ti, I absolutely am.”
“What about these corpses?” Bei Lingsu asked.
“The corpses can be burned.”
“Then what was the issue you wanted to consult about earlier?” Bei Lingsu pressed.
“Do you know anything about Lady Gu—the one Yang Wenxiao is searching for?”
Bei Lingsu: “…Why are you asking this?”
“Qiao Xiaomai said she could ask Lady Gu for a drop of Divine Liquid to completely cure the strange poison within . But the price is that, for the rest of my life, I must treat patients for free. My entire existence would be dedicated to healing and saving lives. I can’t make up my mind, so I wanted to ask your opinion, Aunt.”
