Kong Rui didn’t intend to explain to the other party any further. She only continued to ask, “Do you rember what you were doing before you fainted?”
Although Stone was on guard, after he looked at the room full of herbs and then at himself, who couldn’t move his limbs, he gritted his teeth and said, “I only rember that today is my day of duty.”
“Because the Li family’s ancestral hall was destroyed a few days ago, the old masters were very angry and vented their anger on us.”
“We were all very nervous and served them carefully all day long, for fear that we would anger them and suffer their wrath again.”
As Stone spoke, Kong Rui recalled that she had indeed heard that many servants of the Li family had been fired. It seed that things weren’t as simple as they seed.
“At noon today, the boss ran over and said that he wanted us to go sowhere with him tonight. He said that he had a special quest.”
When Kong Rui heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was in no hurry to ask.
Stone froze for a mont with a puzzled expression on his face, but then he continued, “What special quest is it again? What are you going to do?”
Stone seed to have fallen into a daze and his eyes seed to be getting blurrier and blurrier.
Kong Rui was about to shake Stone, for fear that he would fall asleep again.
Kong Rui’s hand was about to touch the stone when she heard the old man shout, “Don’t move!”
Kong Rui was shocked and froze on the spot without daring to move.
The old man imdiately went forward and brushed the bottom of Stone’s nose with one hand. Then, he picked up the pot and knocked the back of Stone’s neck with it.
After Stone suddenly let out a cry, his body trembled and his head instantly drooped.
Kong Rui panicked and said to the old man anxiously, “Don’t tell he’s dead?! 1 still have sothing to ask him! We can’t let him die like this!”
Seeing Kong Rui’s anxious expression, the old man only took a deep puff of his tobacco pipe before saying, “He was overthinking things just now. If you continued asking, this person would have really died!”
“Don’t worry! Let him rest for a while. Just continue asking!”
Although Kong Rui was a little indignant, she knew that this wasn’t sothing to rush.
The old man turned the tobacco pipe around and carried it on his arm as he walked towards the stool.
After Kong Rui looked at Stone again, she sighed and walked to the old man’s side. “ntor, Stone’s situation is really strange. Is it really just because he was injured by the Phoenix?”
The old man glanced at Kong Rui from the corner of his eye, as if he was hesitating if he should tell Kong Rui the truth or not.
Seeing the old man’s strange expression, Kong Rui sat down on the chair beside him and asked, “ntor, do you know that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems? What makes you so hesitant?”
The old man looked at Kong Rui deeply once again before taking a deep whiff of his tobacco pipe and continuing, “You’re quite smart. You have to beco my disciple!”
“This kid’s situation is more complicated than I expected.”
“According to my original speculation, it should have acted up again after a while, but I didn’t expect it to act up in advance.”
“It seems that the person who used the dicine was quite ruthless!”
“dicine?” Kong Rui caught the main point. “Are you saying that Stone beca like this because he was drugged?”
“Have you heard of the Soul Return Pill?” The old man looked at Kong Rui with a mixed expression.
Kong Rui was stunned for a mont before saying, “I’ve heard of it, but it’s said to be a forbidden dicine!”
The old man shrugged. “Such a freaky thing naturally has to be banned!”
“But it can’t stop greedy people from coveting it!”
Kong Rui frowned slightly, as if she didn’t understand why the old man was talking about the Soul Return Pill.
“Could the Soul Return Pill have been used on Stone?” Kong Rui shook her head in confusion.. “Why would anyone use such a rare pill on soone like Stone?!”
