Chapter 209 People are different
"At first, I didn't think the doctor's death was related to Arno. It wasn't until later that I hired another doctor and an alchemist to treat Arno, and they died within a day." The waiter said, "The other party made it so obvious. If I still didn't see it, I would be too stupid."
“I wanted Arno to be better, but all the people I invited died. It was one thing if they didn’t know, but their conscience bothered them when they found out. Besides, none of the three doctors could see Arno’s problem at first, and finding other doctors was useless. Even if they were useless, they would still die, so I gave up.”
Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu listened quietly as Xiao Er continued, "At first, Arno could bear the pain, but it became increasingly unbearable. When he couldn't take it anymore, he would go berserk. Once, he rushed out of the room and almost killed a guest. I couldn't stop him; it was only by having someone watching Arno knock him unconscious that he was brought under control."
“To prevent Arno from hurting anyone, I had no choice but to tie him up. As for the people watching Arno…” Xiao Er looked at Ye Qing Shuang: “It is precisely because someone is watching that I do not want you to help. If you help, they will not let you go.”
“They won’t let anyone who’s seen Arno live, including me.” Xiao Er knew very well: “They haven’t killed me yet because Arno is still alive. They want Arno to die naturally and want to know what Arno will be like when he dies, so they haven’t killed me. As long as they don’t kill me, Arno won’t commit suicide in order to keep me alive. Once Arno dies, they will get the answers they want and then kill me.”
The waiter looked at Ye Qingshuang and the white wine: "Given the situation, the inn and such are no longer important..."
Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu understood when they heard this.
Knowing they were doomed, whether they could make money or not was no longer important. That's why they treated them so warmly even before they had confirmed their reservations, and even used ordinary fire spirit stones to warm them up.
Xiao Er continued, "Arno is my brother. I want Arno to live more than anyone else, but I can't harm you. Besides... even if you cure Arno, we won't survive either."
“The people watching Arnold won’t let us live, and we have no power to fight back.”
Bai Jiu frowned: "How could a teacher do such a thing?"
"Because people are different," Ye Qingshuang said. "Don't assume all teachers are good just because they are teachers."
Ye Qingshuang said, "Now that you've become a teacher, you shouldn't need your students' cultivation levels. Arno's cultivation level must have been lower than that of his peers."
"Among peers, those who can get teachers to help them with things are either from aristocratic families or royalty."
The waiter said, "Miss Ye, you are right, she is indeed a member of the royal family."
“When Arno was lucid, he told me that he was the crown prince.”
Crown Prince of the Azure Moon Empire.
If it were him, let alone one genius, even ten geniuses, if he wanted, they would all become his victims.
but……
The Demon Worm can only be controlled by demons. A human empire's crown prince cannot control it, and it is dangerous for humans to be possessed by it. Is the demon controlling the Demon Worm really just trying to help the crown prince, or... is it a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
As Ye Qingshuang pondered, she said to the waiter, "Since you've chosen to speak, it means you still want your brother to live. I can save your brother."
The waiter gave a wry smile upon hearing this: "It's no use."
"Even if you save Arno, we will still die."
“Indeed,” Ye Qingshuang said. “But by saving him, I can at least stop him from suffering so much. As for whether those people watching him will kill us, that’s none of your concern. So, do you want me to save him?”
The waiter was tempted after hearing this.
He didn't want Arno to live such a painful life anymore!
"Alright." After saying that, the waiter knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu: "Please help me, both of you."
"Get up and step aside." After saying that, Ye Qingshuang lifted Arno's blankets again.
Baijiu and Xiao Er stepped aside, their eyes fixed on Ye Qingshuang, wondering how she planned to save her. The next moment, they saw Ye Qingshuang's fingers trace a line across her palm, creating a wound from which blood began to flow.
Ye Qingshuang covered Arno's mouth with her injured hand. Baijiu and Xiao Er saw that the black lines on Arno's body went up to his neck.
"Well……"
"vomit"
Arno's mouth was covered by Ye Qingshuang, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did, but he could clearly feel those things leaving his body.
Once everything inside Arno's body had completely left, Ye Qingshuang released him and looked down at her left arm.
All the black threads were wrapped around her hands. Ye Qingshuang gathered her power and enveloped the black threads. The next moment, the black threads disappeared completely in the power.
"Alright." Ye Qingshuang took a hemostatic pill, then looked at the waiter: "It's resolved."
"Brother..." Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, and Arno called out weakly.
The waiter was overjoyed, but before he could thank Ye Qingshuang, the room window was smashed with a bang, and four cultivators entered through the window. Without saying a word, they attacked Ye Qingshuang directly.
Ye Qingshuang remained calm, took out her flute, and as soon as the flute sounded, the four people were immediately controlled. Forget about attacking, they were all writhing on the ground in pain, completely losing their imposing presence when they first appeared.
When Baijiu saw those people fall, he went forward to try to tie them up, but ordinary things couldn't restrain them. He didn't have anything suitable, so he could only look to Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang looked at the white wine and gestured with her eyes.
I didn't understand the baijiu (Chinese liquor) part.
It was the waiter who made a move.
Xiao Er didn't see Ye Qingshuang's signal, but looking at the four people rolling on the ground, and thinking of his younger brother's suffering and how these people had so easily killed the doctor who treated him, Xiao Er took out a knife, approached the four people, and with all his might, slashed at the neck of one of them.
Ye Qingshuang: "?"
She meant to have the liquor sever their tendons and ligaments, not to kill them immediately.
Forget it.
To prevent the four from suddenly attacking and injuring others, Ye Qingshuang mobilized even stronger forces, while Baijiu watched as Xiao Er raised his knife and killed the four.
After dealing with the four people, the waiter dropped his knife and looked at Ye Qingshuang: "Miss, thank you..."
Ye Qingshuang put away her flute and looked at him: "They were acting under orders. Killing them doesn't count as revenge. However, you don't need to feel guilty about their indiscriminate killing."
“I don’t feel guilty, and I know that killing them isn’t revenge.” The waiter sat on the ground: “I want revenge, but… I can’t.”
The other party is the Crown Prince of the Empire, while he is just the manager of a small inn in a border town, an ordinary person with nothing to offer for revenge.
Ye Qingshuang looked at him: "The people who were monitoring you are all dead. You still have a chance."
