Chapter 959 - 951: What Kind of Tree Is It?
"The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle is in this prison, in the hands of one of the people here. But I don’t know exactly whose hands because this thing is said to be very important, and many people are trying to seize it. People inside have been forming factions to get this object, and several fights have already broken out over it."
"Moreover, it seems like people from outside have come in to search for it, but due to the strong forces in this prison, they almost couldn’t make it back out. Since then, no one has come looking. After all these years, now you have finally come. Good luck to you!" the elder said.
Xiao Yifei found the elder’s words increasingly strange. How did he know he was looking for this thing? Actually, he was here just to help Liu Rui. He had no hope of finding the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. How could such a thing exist in a place like this?
So, he asked in confusion, "How did you know I was looking for this? My original purpose here is to save my friend."
"I didn’t know. I just made a lucky guess. Since someone came before, and since you’re a doctor, I thought the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle must have some connection to you. It turns out my guess was quite right," the elder said, somewhat proudly.
"I told you this to thank you for curing me. I don’t like to owe people anything, be it money or favors. I’d rather have others owe me. However, I have nothing else to repay you with, so I told you a secret you’re interested in," said the elder.
After Xiao Yifei expressed his thanks, he prepared to leave. The elder added, "In this place, don’t easily trust what anyone tells you."
Xiao Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Since you said not to trust anyone’s words, should I trust what you just said?"
The elder smiled and didn’t speak again. Xiao Yifei walked out of the elder’s residence, noticing that many rooms from the entrance to here were empty. It’s probably because the sun can’t reach here, and no one likes to live in such a cold, sunless place, leaving only the poor elder living where no one would contend.
Initially, Xiao Yifei had a good impression of the elder, but those final words made his back feel chilly. The elder seemed to know everything, casually revealing a clue Xiao Yifei had been searching for a long time.
