Chapter 689 - 0691: A Truly Insightful Mind
Old Master Nangong looked at Chu Ge with lingering fear and said to him, "Mr. Chu, it’s fortunate that I discovered this in time, that the scent was different from before, thus avoiding another bitter fate of being poisoned. What if one day he develops some colorless, odorless poison, wouldn’t that mean my complete demise?"
Old Master Nangong’s face was pale with fright, which was somewhat surprising to Chu Ge.
For a person of such high status and power, what hadn’t he seen? What hadn’t happened to him? But now, the fear from a dose of poison turned his face white, which was not becoming of a ruler.
Chu Ge quietly observed him, waited for him to finish, and then spoke slowly: "Old Master Nangong just needs to follow the method I’ve described, and I believe you will be fine."
"You said?" Old Master Nangong was startled for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What method did you say?"
He didn’t remember Chu Ge teaching him any method.
Chu Ge took out a Small Jade Bottle from his bosom, handed it to Old Master Nangong, and said: "This is Spiritual Liquid I’ve recently refined. If you take it as I’ve instructed before, one dose daily, no matter what poison is used against you, you’ll be safe."
Due to being poisoned again, Old Master Nangong was very displeased and harbored anger in his heart. He couldn’t believe those people hated him so much that they tried time and again to take his life.
He had intended to show them mercy, but they did not give him the chance.
Old Master Nangong pondered for a moment and then seriously said to Chu Ge: "Mr. Chu, please help me, I must find the culprit who framed me."
He was no saint. Others have repeatedly tried to take his life, showing no familial affection, so what more affinity should he consider?
If they showed no kindness, then there should be no blame for his ruthlessness.
