Han Mingxi leaned back in his chair and glanced at Sickly Scholar. "I know that Young Master also wants that kind of thing. Since that is the case, Young Master can just kill that old man. Why go through the trouble of sending him to Nanjiang? " The Sickly Scholar looked at Han Mingxi, and a trace of viciousness flashed across his originally delicate and smiling face. His entire person suddenly became even more sinister and gloomy, completely different from the sickly and weak scholar from before.
"That's right, I can kill that guy. But it is a pity … he is not an idiot. That thing is in the capital of Nanzhao. He only has the token to get that thing, and it is only half of it. In this world, other than himself, no one knows where the other half of the token is, and no one knows how to use it after getting it. "Anger flashed through Sickly Scholar's eyes. It was clear that he was very angry at Master Liang's cunning. Han Mingxi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Perhaps you can consider torture." Sickly Scholar snorted coldly. "Does Young Master Han really not know who he is?"
Han Mingxi shrugged indifferently. Seeing Ye Li turn to look at him, he smiled and said, "I know. Other than the four wealthiest families in the Da Chu State, the fifth family, the Liang Family of the Northwest, is even richer than my big brother. Also, if my big brother loves money as much as his life, then this Master Liang is more important to money than his life. I heard that a bandit once kidnapped his favorite concubine and demanded twenty thousand taels as ransom. He didn't even care. Also, don't look at how rich he is. Usually, he saves when he can. His life is worse than that of a normal merchant. Last night, didn't he boast to you that he went to the Wind and Moon Pavilion? My big brother hates him the most because he went to the Wind and Moon Pavilion for one night and only ordered the cheapest cup of tea. He didn't even spend twenty taels. If this kind of person really has any treasure, even if you kill him, he probably won't give it to you. "
Ye Li looked at Sickly Scholar. "I am more curious why Young Master is telling us this information? Aren't you afraid that we'll be tempted by the money too? "
Sickly Scholar said indifferently, "I need your help. Last night, I saw that Young Master Zhuo's martial arts were not bad. As for Young Master Chu, although I can't see the depth of his abilities, I'm sure he's not simple either. As for Young Master Han, I naturally won't let you suffer any losses after this. " Han Mingxi rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to look at him. "I thought you said you didn't need the help of the Tianyi Pavilion."
Sickly Scholar nodded and said, "I don't need any information from the Tianyi Pavilion. Since I happened to meet Mr. Han, I have no choice but to invite you along."
"Can we refuse?" Han Mingxi asked.
"I'm afraid not." Sickly Scholar said in a low voice. His slightly gloomy gaze slowly swept across the two of them. Han Mingxi only felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife, making him uncomfortable. Ye Li's expression was the same as usual, but she couldn't help but clench her fists a little tighter in her sleeves. Sickly Scholar's smile was cold and ferocious. He elegantly raised his left hand and admired his fingers, which had a slightly different skin color from his right hand. He smiled faintly and said, "I believe Young Master Han won't refuse, right?"
Han Mingxi's expression changed. He looked at Sickly Scholar warily and said, "You poisoned us?!"
Sickly Scholar responded with a smile and didn't answer. Han Mingxi's expression darkened. Sickly Scholar seemed to have expected that Han Mingxi wouldn't refuse. He tilted his head and looked at Ye Li. "What about Young Master Chu?"
Ye Li reached out and poured herself a cup of herbal tea. She frowned slightly at the bitterness in the cold tea and said, "I refuse."
"Refuse?" Sickly Scholar was a little surprised. After being startled for a moment, he looked at Ye Li with a more threatening gaze. "Young Master Chu, are you sure?" Ye Li smiled faintly. She put down the teacup and said, "Two days ago, I heard of Young Master's reputation. I also know that Young Master's use of poison is unparalleled in the world. But … unless Young Master plans to use an immediate lethal poison, it's best not to make a move. "
"What do you mean?" Sickly Scholar stared at Ye Li with a gloomy expression.
Ye Li looked down at her hands on her knees and said softly, "I heard that Young Master accidentally injured your heart many years ago? Although this one doesn't know much about this kind of injury, I do have some superficial knowledge about the pathology of it. In this one's opinion, if Young Master can't kill the other party with a flick of a finger, then it's best not to make a move. Because … Young Master's heart may not be able to withstand a long period of violent shock, right? "
The killing intent in Sickly Scholar's eyes almost solidified in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure I can't kill you?"
Ye Li smiled, "Young Master, you can try."
Sickly Scholar naturally wouldn't try. This Chu Junwei in front of him hadn't made a move the entire time and didn't seem to have profound internal strength. But his intuition told him that this indifferent youth wasn't simple. Not to mention that there was Han Mingxi eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. There was also a strong guard in the room that hadn't appeared yet. Han Mingxi was sitting in a chair outside. He propped up half of his handsome face and looked at the gloomy Sickly Scholar. Then he looked at the calmly smiling Ye Li and blinked. He seemed to have heard an incredible secret.
"Haha, Young Master Chu really isn't an ordinary person. But … It's too late for you to regret now. "Sickly Scholar said with a cold smile.
"What do you mean?" Han Mingxi narrowed his eyes and asked.
Sickly Scholar said, "After I left the little building, I guessed that the person surnamed Liang was no longer in the little building."
"You did it on purpose?" Han Mingxi said. Sickly Scholar nodded and said, "Yes, the person surnamed Liang came to Nan Jiang to find the Luoyi Tribe. Last night, they didn't come to make trouble for us, but to receive him." Han Mingxi frowned and said, "So what?" Sickly Scholar snorted softly, "What? He has already reached his destination. The people who know his whereabouts will naturally be … silenced. If they didn't invite us all here, if one escaped, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been wasted? "
"The day before yesterday, when Zheng Kui came over to chat with us and invite us to travel together, it was your idea?" Ye Li looked at Sickly Scholar and asked calmly.
"Yes, Zheng Kui thought that he was just escorting the person surnamed Liang to Nanzhao to do business. I told him that the two of you have extraordinary skills. If you travel together, you can take care of each other on the way. To be honest … I originally didn't want to choose you, but there really aren't many people who want to go to Nan Jiang at this time of year. But I need people with good skills to help me. It just so happens that Young Master Han has some relationship with me, right? "
Han Mingxi smiled and said, "I'm more curious why you didn't use the people of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce. I believe that there are many people in the Yanwang Chamber who would be willing to go through water and tread on fire for you, right?"
Sickly Scholar's face sank. He said coldly, "This is my own business."
Ye Li stood up and walked to the window. She looked outside and saw that it was still raining heavily. Then she turned and said, "What kind of treasure does Master Liang have that would make someone like Young Master spend so much effort?"
"It's better that Young Master Chu doesn't know. After all, the less you know, the safer. For Young Master Han's sake, I won't make a move against you after this. "Sickly Scholar promised with a calm face. Ye Li glanced at him indifferently and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I don't like being kept in the dark and used as a tool."
