Chapter 319 I Will Give You an Explanation
Before An Biru left, she had mentioned that the Fairy Sister was a master manipulator, and it indeed seemed to be true. Lin Wanrong's heart pounded in his chest. Seeing Fairy Ning standing there as pure as a white lotus, no one would have ever guessed her cunning side, if not for her unexpected move.
Lin Wanrong grunted and pricked his own wrist with the bee needle a couple more times, a slight tingling sensation quickly spreading.
Fairy Ning smiled lightly, "What are you doing? Is it that you're not dying quickly enough? The needle is no longer poisonous; even a hundred more pricks will be of no use."
Lin Wanrong responded with a small smile, "Fairy Sister, you weave a good story. An average person might have been scared by you. It's a pity you've met me. I, Lin San, am known as the unkillable cockroach. Do you think it would be so easy to trick me?"
The Fairy Sister's eyes remained calm, she glanced at him indifferently, "What do you mean by this? When did I ever try to scare you?"
General Lin chuckled, pacing a few steps, "The principle of fighting poison with poison indeed sounds profound. If it were someone else, they might have been scared to death by you even if not poisoned. But you fail to understand that the poison needle was given to me by someone close to me. If the antidote was truly poison, she would have told me early on. It wouldn't be your turn to play mind games with me. This is one reason—"
Fairy Ning didn't nod nor shake her head, her beautiful face concealed under the light veil, making it hard to discern her expression. She slowly laughed, "So, the idea of the antidote being non-toxic is just your conjecture?" Fairy Ning was indeed brilliant, catching Lin Wanrong's loophole with a single sentence, exposing his thoughts.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and laughed, "As I mentioned earlier, this is only one of the reasons. There's another even more important one. You, Fairy Sister, have gone to great lengths to save me. It can't possibly be just to kill me. If I had died at the hands of your junior sister, it would have been understandable since she's viewed by the world as a merciless she-devil. Killing one more like me wouldn't make a difference. But you, Fairy Sister, are revered by the world. If I were to die mysteriously after being taken away by you under the watchful eyes of many, I can't say for others, but Miss Xiao for sure would know whose hand I died at. If she were to spread the word, your hands being stained with blood not only tarnishes your reputation but also harms your...what was it? Some workshop or hall—"
