Chapter 1714 - 1713: I Met You Too Late
"Good deeds will be rewarded, I’m not lying to you, this is true."
After Qiao Xiaomai said this, Bei Yun fell silent. His gaze turned vacant, staring aimlessly at a corner of the bedding.
Qiao Xiaomai looked at him but said nothing, and the tent fell into silence.
This silence lasted for a quarter of an hour, and only then did Bei Yun’s vacant gaze shift back to Qiao Xiaomai.
"What you mean by saying this is that if I release you now, then when Madam Gu appears, you’ll be able to ask her for a drop of Divine Liquid?"
"With the sins you’ve committed, I cannot promise that. Besides, Divine Liquid does not appear so easily. Madam Gu just gave Tong Sanlang a drop, and she certainly won’t have a second drop now."
"Then tell me, what exactly did you add when you made the Floral Dew? I watched the entire process and didn’t see you adding anything special," Bei Yun said again.
"That’s impossible. It’s the foundation of my livelihood, and I won’t tell anyone," Qiao Xiaomai shook her head, refusing. "The matter of the Divine Liquid is the highest secret in Daqi. If I tell you now, I’d already be violating the ’Daqi Law.’ If the Grand Emperor finds out, he definitely won’t spare me."
"Are you still afraid of that old man? He’s the one begging Madam Gu, isn’t he?" Suspicion crept onto Bei Yun’s face. "Are you sure the things you just said aren’t made up to deceive me?"
Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes at that. "Did I leave any contradictions in what I just said?"
"If there are no contradictions, then it means it’s true. And indeed, it is true. This really happened."
