Chapter 2468
2468 To save people or to take lives?(3)
Before Leng ruoxue could even reply to uncle long, the person in front of them heard him and turned to uncle long,””You’re right, we’re all here to treat the city Lord’s mansion! However, I don’t know when it’ll be our turn. Sigh! We’ll have to wait!”
The person who spoke was so depressed that he kept sighing.
“Are you all alchemists?” Uncle long asked curiously.
“Yup! Who would dare to come if they were not alchemists! However, this city Lord’s attitude is quite big. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who has to queue up to see a pill master. ” The man complained.
“You know he’s arrogant, but you’re still willing to come?” Uncle long was very confused. Didn’t they say that alchemists were very proud? They were willing to line up for such a long time?
“If it wasn’t for the reward, do you think anyone would come?” The man replied honestly.
“That’s true! I heard that the city Lord’s mansion’s rewards are pretty good. ” Uncle long nodded seriously.
“It’s not bad, but I don’t know if I have a chance to get it!” The man became worried again as he spoke.
Seeing him like this, uncle long didn’t know how to comfort him. Moreover, the city Lord’s courtyard was still relatively dilapidated, and there were many people lining up here, so uncle long couldn’t find a spacious place to stand even if he wanted to.
AI! They were here to suffer!
When he thought of this, uncle long could not help but look at Leng ruoxue with a face full of hidden bitterness. He was starting to regret coming here to watch the show. Because the current situation was clearly that he did not get to see the show, and instead, he was here to suffer.
Just as uncle long was grumbling, a painful scream suddenly came from the room. Even Uncle long, who had seen many things, was frightened by the terrifying sound. Some of the less powerful alchemists instantly turned pale.
But fortunately, a considerable number of people were relatively calm. Perhaps it was because they had heard this kind of sound too many times, so they all acted as if nothing had happened and continued to chat with each other in groups of two or three.
“Little girl, are we still going to stay here?” Uncle long didn’t want to stay any longer.
“Uncle long, if you want to leave now, will they let you?” Leng ruoxue said.
“Uh!” Upon hearing this, uncle long became listless. When they came in, he had already said that if he couldn’t be cured, he had to leave his life behind. Although he didn’t care about such a threat, now was obviously not the time to expose his identity!
AI! Endure it!
The depressed uncle long finally calmed down after consoling himself for a while. However, he didn’t want to just stand there like the alchemists in line. After some thought, uncle long took out a recliner and a tent. He cleared out an empty space and set up the tent. Then, he lay down comfortably on the recliner.
Of course, uncle long had cleared out the place for the reclining chairs and tent himself. Thus, although the alchemists present were envious and jealous of uncle Long’s actions, no one dared to criticize him. Uncle long wasn’t someone who didn’t understand the ways of the world. He then took out some food and fruits to entertain the envious alchemists.
When the alchemists saw that there was food, their eyes immediately lit up. It wasn’t that they were hungry, but it was quite tiring to stand like this. If they could have some food to relax, they would definitely feel much more relaxed. Because of this, they didn’t stand on ceremony with uncle Long’s warm hospitality. Soon, uncle long became friends with the alchemists in the queue and learned a lot of information about the city Lord from them.
Time passed quickly as uncle long and the other alchemists conversed happily. As the saying goes,”those who feed will not benefit.” Every Alchemist who went into the city Lord’s room to treat the city Lord would tell them about the city Lord’s condition after they came out. Of course, the painful howls continued to be heard. In the end, when Leng ruoxue and the others finally got used to it, it was their turn to make an appearance.
When Leng ruoxue saw that it was her turn, she was about to bring the evildoer and the rest into her room. However, she was stopped by the head butler who had been standing guard in the city Lord’s room.
The head butler sized up Leng ruoxue and the rest before he asked,””Who’s in charge of treating the city Lord?”
“I am!” Leng ruoxue said with a smile.
“Then you’re allowed to come in alone!” The chief Steward said with some disdain. He saw that these people’s looks were really disappointing to the audience, so he naturally looked down on them. He didn’t think that they could cure the city Lord at all. However, they were currently treating the city Lord’s injuries as if they were a dead horse. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they didn’t want to let it go. After all, whether the city Lord could recover or not was related to their future.
“No! They are all my assistants. Without their help, I can’t save your city Lord by myself!” Leng ruoxue had a look that said,”do as you see fit,” as she spoke to the head butler.
“Then what are you waiting for? come in quickly!” The head butler compromised.
Leng ruoxue could not help but roll her eyes at the head butler when she heard him urging her. He thought to himself,’if it wasn’t for your insistent refusal to let them in, they would have already gone in.’
When they entered the room, Leng ruoxue and the others were shocked to see the city Lord of River City lying on the bed.
Oh my God! Was he still human?
The city Lord’s entire body was festering, and he was beyond human shape. His body was also emitting a foul smell. Blood mixed with pus flowed down from the festering wounds. At this time, the city Lord of River City was almost in a semi-conscious state. From time to time, he would groan in pain, which proved that he was still alive.
Even though Leng ruoxue and the rest were prepared that the city Lord’s injuries would not be light, they did not expect that the city Lord’s injuries would be much more serious than they had expected.
No wonder so many alchemy Masters were helpless against this. This injury was really not light!
When Leng ruoxue and the rest saw the city Lord of Chuan city’s injuries, they could not help but turn their gazes to the evildoer. However, the evildoer’s face was calm as he allowed everyone to admire him.
Upon seeing this, Leng ruoxue could not help but ask,””Evildoer, what’s with the injuries on his body?” She didn’t believe that the city Lord would be so seriously injured for no reason. After all, they didn’t confront each other directly at that time.
“It’s nothing,” the demon said with a faint smile.”I was just injured by my divine power.”
Leng ruoxue finally understood. If she remembered correctly, the demonic God’s divine power was corrosive. It was no wonder that this city Lord’s entire body was festering.
However, he could only blame it on his bad luck. Leng ruoxue would not sympathize with him. On the contrary, she even took the initiative to ask for the demon’s opinion,””Should we save him?”
“Whatever. If we save him, he’ll wish he was dead!” The demon was quite calm when he said this.
“…” Leng ruoxue was silent. So, should she save him or not? If she didn’t save them, the other party would threaten her to leave her life behind. Although she wasn’t afraid, their identities would be exposed.
What if someone from the Lu family linked the injured city Lord of Chuan city to them? this place was not far from the Feng clan. Thinking about it, it was really troublesome!
Leng ruoxue was starting to regret joining in on the fun!
Curiosity killed the cat indeed not without reason!
Seeing Xue ‘er’s dilemma, the demon smiled and transmitted his voice,””Xue ‘er, although the city Lord of Chuan city isn’t a good person, it’s okay for us to do some good deeds occasionally.”
“Alright then!” Leng ruoxue agreed. She really did not know if what she was doing was considered a good deed. However, the evildoer himself had agreed to save her, so why was she still struggling?
At the thought of this, Leng ruoxue walked to the side of the bed and deliberately observed it in detail. Then, she asked the city Lord about the cause of the illness. The head butler was eager to save Leng ruoxue, so he answered all her questions. When Leng ruoxue heard the head butler mention the cause of the illness, she knew that he had been answering many of her questions.
After asking, Leng ruoxue remained silent. The head butler looked at Leng ruoxue with an anxious expression, waiting for her answer.
“Head butler, I’m not an Alchemist, so I can only use my own secret technique to see if I can cure your city Lord. So, you’d better not have too much hope.” Leng ruoxue reminded him with a serious expression.
The head butler nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He knew that alchemists liked to say the ugly words before they treated people to prevent the patient’s family members from making trouble when they couldn’t cure the patient. He could understand this! As for Leng ruoxue’s claim that she was not an Alchemist, it was automatically ignored by the head butler! In his eyes, as long as he could cure the city Lord, who cared about the other party’s identity!
After obtaining the head Butler’s understanding, Leng ruoxue smiled and took out a bunch of silver needles. Just as she was about to pick one up and insert it into the unlucky city Lord’s body, the head butler quickly stopped her.
“Wait! W-what was he doing? Is this murder?” The head butler couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and asked. Looking at the cold and flashing silver light, he felt a chill down his back. It wasn’t that he had never seen silver needles before, but wasn’t the silver needle in this person’s hand a little too thick?
If the silver needle, which was at least as thick as an adult’s little finger, were to Pierce the city Lord’s body, would the city Lord, who was already weak, still be able to live? Furthermore, the other party had even taken out a gun. It was obvious that his little heart was trembling with fear.
“Head butler, calm down!” Leng ruoxue threw a discontented look at the head butler.
When the head butler heard this, he immediately expressed that he couldn’t stay calm. Was this to save people or to save lives?
If such a thick silver needle were to be inserted, the city Lord’s little life would probably be gone! This was no small matter!
Seeing the head Butler’s firm objection, Leng ruoxue could only patiently explain to him,””Head butler, look at your city Lord’s injuries. Not a single piece of skin on his body is intact. If you want to cure him, you’ll naturally have to use extreme methods. My silver needle technique is definitely the right cure. You have to believe me!”
