The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler-Chapter 2438 - Whose Brother Yan Qing
2438 Whose Brother Yan Qing
“Xiao Ba!” Chu Liuyue was shocked and immediately went over.
Qi Han followed closely without hesitation.
Su Li and the others were stunned for a moment. Seeing this, they couldn’t care less and stepped forward.
But when Chu Liuyue arrived outside the competition arena, she was suddenly stopped by an invisible pressure.
Mu Qinghe’s voice was cold and indifferent. “No one outside the life-and-death challenge is allowed to approach.”
Chu Liuyue suddenly turned her head and stared at that figure.
Even though they were still a distance away, she could still clearly see the unconcealed coldness on his face. When he met her gaze, his expression didn’t change at all and was bone-chilling as usual.
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
At this moment, Shu Jing jumped up and put the divination pill into the jade box.
Kada.
As the jade box sealed, she landed lightly.
A strong medicinal fragrance spread in the air. Obviously, her pill had been successfully refined!
Xiao Ba, who wasn’t far away, was in a different situation.
The impact of the power just now was really too sudden. She only wanted to protect the pill, but she didn’t have time to set up a defense for herself.
This time, she hit the cauldron hard!
The corners of her mouth and chest were stained with blood. It was dark red and dazzling!
Her face was extremely pale. It was obvious that she had suffered very serious internal injuries.
At this moment, she was leaning against the edge of the cauldron with one hand holding on tightly. Her knuckles were white.
“Xiao Ba! How are you?!” Chu Liuyue felt as if there was a fire burning crazily in her heart.
Xiao Ba raised her hand and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with the back of her hand. “M-Master, don’t worry. I-I’m fine…”
She spoke slowly, but she was as weak as she had ever been.
Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something. Fine? How is this fine!?
Xiao Ba licked her lips, and a strong sweet taste filled her mouth.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Shu Jing. Her eyes, which were always enchanting, were now filled with a cold luster. “…Eighth Deity, sneak attack—is it fun!?”
Shu Jing’s expression was calm. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Heh…” Xiao Ba seemed to have heard a joke and sneered. “You don’t know? Do you dare to say that you didn’t secretly attack me and destroy my pill when the pill was forming?!”
Shu Jing knitted her brows. “I refined the number-one pill of the Supreme Physician grade, the Divination Pill. When the pill is formed, it will cause a relatively large commotion. It’s only normal, and I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, no one else was affected, but you were the one who got into trouble. Shouldn’t you find the reason from yourself?”
“What, do you mean that I had a problem at the last moment? Eighth Deity, my previous refinement has been very smooth. I even completed the pill before you!”
“That’s not impossible,” Shu Jing said calmly. “After all, no one knows what will happen until the last moment. You said that I’m deliberately targeting you. Do you have evidence?”
Xiao Ba swallowed a mouthful of blood. Shu Jing is extremely cunning. In the situation of the energy riot just now, she tampered with it and wouldn’t leave any traces! How could I convince people with just my words?!
“Good… good! I’ve really underestimated you!” Xiao Ba closed her eyes and smiled provocatively. “It seems that the slap I gave you at the medicinal mountain that day was far from enough! If I had known that this day would come… I would’ve slapped your face until it swelled! Let’s see what kind of thick skin you have left to say such words in front of everyone!”
Shu Jing’s expression finally changed. “What nonsense are you talking about!?”
“I’m talking nonsense? Why are you spouting nonsense again with your big face?!” Xiao Ba’s vision darkened, but she still relied on her anger to hold on.
She scoffed. “What, do you feel embarrassed that you lost to me as the Eighth Deity? Thus, you’re unscrupulous!?”
Xiao Ba’s words were so intense that Shu Jing was almost speechless. After all, there were many people around.
There were many things that she couldn’t say. Hence, she endured it and finally said, “I don’t want to argue with you about this. There’s really no need to pay attention to the slander. On the other hand, your Green Glass Scarlet Flame Pill has already been destroyed… Then, you’ve lost this life-and-death challenge!”
In other words, she wanted to take Xiao Ba’s life!
When Chu Liuyue heard this, she immediately shouted in a deep voice, “How dare you!?”
Shu Jing turned her head and glanced at her. A very faint and ironic smile appeared on her lips. “What, Shangguan Yue, do you want to interfere with life and death?”
Today, Xiao Ba will definitely die!
Chu Liuyue stared at her.
Previously, she had been watching it very seriously. When Xiao Ba was refining pills, it had been very smooth, and there were no problems.
It was Shu Jing tampering with it in private that led to this situation!
She smirked coldly. “With my status, I naturally don’t have the qualifications. However, the character of the Eighth Deity has really broadened my horizons!”
Shu Jing’s chest tightened.
However, Chu Liuyue was already looking at Mu Qinghe. “You control this competition arena single-handedly. Whether anyone secretly attacked just now… you should know best!”
Shu Jing’s heart sank, and she looked over as well. “First Deity, such an unreasonable person should be severely punished! Besides, there’s also Xiao Ba. Since she has already failed, she should be executed immediately!”
As soon as she finished speaking, several streams of light instantly flew up from under Xiao Ba’s feet and wrapped around her!
Chu Liuyue’s heart sank.
But at this moment, a sharp sword suddenly tore through the air!
Whoosh!
The few streams of light were instantly minced! Right on the heels of that, a tall and slender figure appeared in front of everyone.
Dressed in a neat outfit, he exuded a cold aura. An indescribable pressure spread from his body!
Xiao Ba looked at the sword and subconsciously looked up. “Brother Yan Qing!”
When everyone who saw the person’s face heard this, they came back to their senses in shock.
Shu Jing’s expression changed drastically. “Who did you call!?”
