Xu Yun wouldn't ask too much about the past. He also knew that the old man wouldn't say much. But since he came here with Qi Qingzhu, there must be a reason why he had to complete and solve this matter.
It didn't matter whether Xu Yun knew about these things or not. Or rather, he had no reason to know.
Since there was no reason to know, there was no need for him to ask more.
The old man was silent for a while. "Xu Yun, do you know why I didn't make the first move even though I knew that Qi Qingzhu was a threat to you?"
Xu Yun nodded.
"Everything is the righteousness of the underworld. Everything is the rules of society." The old man said, "I'm a man of principles. What should be done and what should not be done may have become old-fashioned in the eyes of your generation, but it's different in my eyes. In my eyes, what should be done and what should not be done cannot be changed."
"I understand what you mean." Xu Yun said, "If he doesn't do anything, you have no reason to do anything to him …"
The old man smiled bitterly. "Although some things sound old-fashioned and laughable, people of my age have no choice but to do so."
Xu Yun certainly understood. Everyone had something in their heart that they needed to adhere to. Everyone had a bottom line that they couldn't touch.
The old man was a man of principles. Xu Yun knew very well what this meant.
"Old Sir, don't worry," Xu Yun said, "I understand these principles, and I won't have any other thoughts."
"As long as you don't blame me, this old thing." The old man said, "After all, there are really too few young people who can understand my old thinking."
"I can't blame you, Old Sir." Xu Yun said, "If it weren't for Old Sir's reminder, I would still be in the dark right now. Just this point alone is enough for me to be deeply grateful. What other qualifications do I have to ask for more things? "
The old man picked up the teacup and motioned for Xu Yun to drink. "How confident are you in your heart?"
Xu Yun also picked up the teacup and drank tea. "Not even a little bit."
The old man was stunned.
"But I have one hundred percent confidence," Xu Yun said again.
The old man's stunned expression suddenly turned into a smile. It was exactly the same. This kid really had the same personality as his father!
To have 100% confidence in something that he had no confidence in was not something that anyone could say, and even less so, it was not something that anyone could do.
But the old man believed that Xu Yun could make it, because his father was such a person, he could also do it!
Inexplicably, even the old man had full trust in Xu Yun. This trust was not forced, but spontaneously born from the bottom of his heart.
"This is called … Hahaha, overconfident." Xu Yun saw the old man laughing, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, mocking himself.
"If you have the courage to overestimate yourself and the ability to overestimate yourself, then you can't be called overestimating yourself." The old man really had a whole new level of respect for Xu Yun. This kid might be more courageous than his father when he was young!
Xu Yun shook his head in embarrassment. "I just have one or two trustworthy friends. I think that with them around, no matter what poison Qi Qingzhu gives me, they will do their best to help me detoxify it …"
The old man nodded. He wanted to know who it was and whether they really had the ability.
"I've known Old Master Wu Qiuzi for a long time." Xu Yun smiled. "Because we're so familiar with each other, we usually call each other brothers. I believe that if I ask him to help me with this matter, he won't refuse."
The old man nodded. "You know Wu Qiuzi."
"Yes."
"This is really the best choice." The old man smiled slightly. "The Vicious Doctor has always been unconvinced by Old Poison Qi Qingzhu. Otherwise, Wu Qiuzi wouldn't have called himself the Poison King."
Xu Yun asked curiously, "Then who is more poisonous between the two of them?"
"Of course it's the Old Poison." The old man answered without hesitation.
Although Wu Qiuzi was recognized as the Poison King, the name of the Vicious Doctor was also well-known in the underground world.
However, he cultivated both "medicine" and "poison". In the eyes of many people, he was not as good as the Medical Sage who specialized in medicine. As for poison, he was not as good as the world's most poisonous old poison, Qi Wudu!
This might also be a fact.
It was just that Wu Qiuzi was unconvinced. He said that he wanted to do both and do the best in both.
No one knew whether he did it or not. After all, he said it himself.
However, there was only one Medical Sage in the underground world, and he had already retired. And there was only one Old Poison, and he had also retired.
For so many years, the Vicious Doctor had always been the most amazing person in the underground world, and it had long been ingrained in people's hearts.
However, reputation was only reputation after all.
"So, Qi Qingzhu's poison may be something that the old man can't solve?" Xu Yun was startled. He really didn't dare to imagine how Wu Qiuzi would react after being provoked.
Although Qi Qingzhu of the Five Poisons had been famous for many years, if he wanted to compete with Wu Qiuzi, Wu Qiuzi would not tolerate it at all.
"This is all unknown." The old man nodded.
Xu Yun smiled slightly and was much calmer. "Then it seems that I still need to find him another helper."
When the old man heard Xu Yun's words, he knew that he must have a powerful helper. "Who else?"
"You definitely don't know this person." Xu Yun said, "She's not from the underground world. Her surname is Yu, and her name is Beauty. She's a friend of mine who grew up with me."
The old man was a little puzzled. "She's not famous at all … What can she do?"
"Perhaps she's the one with the highest medical skills among the young people in Hua Xia." Xu Yun smiled faintly. "After so many years, I don't know how many lives I owe her."
The old man suddenly understood. He understood that the person Xu Yun was talking about was definitely not simple. It was just that her identity was special, and she was not the kind of person who would be exposed.
"In that case, I'm much more relieved." The old man said, "If Wu Qiuzi can't solve it alone, with a helper who can give a few pointers on the details, perhaps the whole situation can be changed."
Xu Yun also felt that what the old man said made sense. This kind of situation would make things simpler, clearer, and clearer.
"Hehe … But even so, there's still a risk." The old man sighed. "If something really happens to you, these old bones of mine will really feel bad."
"Old man, this matter has nothing to do with you." Xu Yun said, "Qi Qingzhu is coming for me."
"But I can obviously strangle things in the cradle now." The old man looked up at the sky, feeling a little sad.
"If you make a move now, it's tantamount to damaging the morality in your heart and breaking your own principles." Xu Yun said, "Why should I break your principles for my own matters?"
The old man shook his head helplessly. "I really didn't expect you to say that."
"I should have said that." Xu Yun said, "If I didn't say that, what else could I say?"
The old man smiled bitterly. "Well, then I'll follow my original intention, and you follow yours. We'll all do what we think we should do. That's enough."
"Yes." Xu Yun nodded.
