Chapter 568: Murder
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mo Xie no longer dared to deceive in secret, but he didn’t reveal everything. “Fine, I’ll talk, but you must let me go after 1 speak.”
The man remained silent.
Mo Xie couldn’t help but say, “If speaking means death, and not speaking means death, why should I tell you anything?”
“Fine, 1 promise you.”
Mo Xie took a deep breath, cold sweat forming on his forehead, his eyes shrouded in gloom. “Yes, I created the plague in Tianjing!”
“Why?”
Mo Xie replied, “1 wanted to gain fame! They couldn’t cure the plague, and when the whole city was in crisis, 1 would appear to save everyone. That way, I could become famous and reap both fame and fortune!”
His eyes were full of desire.
Feng Tianlan, who stood nearby, flashed a glint in his eyes.
No matter what the other party’s intentions were, he almost delayed his wedding with Qingluan. It was unforgivable.
“The antidote.”
Mo Xie didn’t immediately produce the antidote. “Why do you want the antidote? Do you also want to gain fame? In another day, I will naturally step forward to save those who are ill.”
“No need to meddle, give me the antidote.”
Under the powerful pressure from the other side, Mo Xie dared not resist and could only reluctantly take out the antidote. “1 only have this much on me.”
Feng Tianlan received the antidote and raised his hand. A purple light shot towards Mo Xie.
Mo Xie’s pupils dilated. “You actually went back on your word!”
He struggled to dodge.
But his body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to evade.
Boom!
The purple light struck him.
Mo Xie’s body flew backward and collided with the door.
There was a loud crash as the door was knocked down, and he tumbled out of the room, hitting the opposite door.
Feng Tianlan scanned the other party with his divine sense, confirmed that the other had stopped breathing, and raised his hand to send him flying out of the shattered window.
After a while, the door of a nearby room was opened.
Yu Huarong walked out with a pale face.
Seeing Mo Xie lying motionlessly on the ground, her breathing became more rapid.
She rushed to Mo Xie’s side and found that his breath had ceased, and his face had turned extremely pale.
She couldn’t accept it and checked her master’s pulse.
There was no pulse.
Had her master died?
No!
“Master won’t die like this!”
Yu Huarong remembered that her master had once told her about a technique that could simulate the appearance of death in a person.
Perhaps her master was just feigning death now.
She needed to treat her master’s external injuries first.
Otherwise, even if her master was currently feigning death, it wouldn’t be long before it turned into a real one.
Yuanxi and Xiaonan were excellent cooks, and Gu Qingluan had unintentionally overindulged, making it difficult for her to sleep.
So, after taking a spirit pill to replenish her arcane power, she decided to go outside to see the situation.
Jing Feng stood outside the door and said, “Miss Gu, the master has instructed you to rest in the room and not exert yourself.”
“Are you sure you want to stop me?”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow at him.
There was no extra expression on her face.
Jing Feng couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Stopping the beloved of the master?
Although it was the master’s intention, if Miss Gu wanted to punish him, the master would undoubtedly stand on her side.
After hesitating for a moment, he silently stepped aside.
Gu Qingluan curled her lips and walked over leisurely.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi naturally accompanied her.
In the hall, Gu Qingluan noticed that there were many fewer doctors than before. She thought that maybe the doctors had also gone to rest.
However, she noticed that some people looked worried, and when she inquired, she learned that the epidemic had not only broken out here at Salvation Hall but had spread throughout the entire city.
As of a quarter of an hour ago, according to incomplete statistics, there were already over a thousand people who had died in the city due to the epidemic.
Moreover, countless others were critically ill and could die at any moment.
Most of the doctors from Salvation Hall have been sent out to rescue those critically ill patients.
However, the number of doctors from Salvation Hall is limited, and even with wave after wave of doctors following suit, considering the number of patients, it’s still just a drop in the bucket.
Gu Qingluan didn’t expect the situation to be so much worse than she had anticipated, and she immediately lost any sense of relaxation.
“Both of you go back to your rooms and rest. I’ll go outside to take a look.”
“We’re not tired and can go with you, Mother!”
Gu Xiaonan said with bright eyes.
Feng Yuanxi nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were indeed in good spirits, Gu Qingluan didn’t waste more words with them. “Alright, then come with me. Later, Xiaonan can help me.” Feng Yuanxi added, “1 can help too!”
Although his expertise was not in medicine, he was willing to learn, and he believed he could assist his mother..
