"This token can prove my identity." Bai Lang took out a token and threw it to the guard.
Zhou Fu instructed again, "At this time, we can only leave the city by water. Find a comfortable boat and bring two maids. Hmm … bring a doctor too. Go and come back quickly!"
"Yes!"
According to Bai Lang, the place was not far from Ning An City. It was in a small village outside the south gate. A round trip by boat would take less than two hours.
After the guard left, Zhou Fu suddenly remembered that he had not seen Zhang Yao for two months. Could something have happened?
His face darkened and his heart skipped a beat. Could Zhang Yao be dead?
"Men!"
Another guard walked in.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"That … Go to the dungeon and interrogate Zhang Yao. Ask him to tell you the antidote for poisoning Miss Jin. Remember, as long as Zhang Yao is still alive, you can do whatever you want."
"Yes!
I will definitely make Zhang Yao tell you. "
After the guard left, Bai Lang asked, "Brother Zhou, can I go and see Zhang Yao?"
Zhou Fu thought for a moment. Although Zhang Yao had been crippled by him and had passed on all his skills to Chen Wenyao, he could not guarantee that Zhang Yao was now a piece of meat on the chopping board that could be slaughtered at any time. He was harmless to humans and animals.
"Brother Bai, it's not that I want to refuse. After Zhang Yao left Ning An City, he had a fortuitous encounter. Although his strength increased, he became neither human nor ghost."
Bai Lang was a little puzzled by Zhou Fu's description.
What did he mean by neither human nor ghost?
Then, Zhou Fu explained it to him. Bai Lang was dumbfounded.
"I still want to see him," Bai Lang said stubbornly.
"Alright, since you've said so, then come with me."
Seeing Bai Lang's determined attitude, Zhou Fu did not say anything else. After all, Bai Lang had given him the cultivation method and the location of Miss Jin without hesitation.
Bai Lang was already so frank. If Zhou Fu continued to shirk the responsibility, Bai Lang might bear a grudge against him.
Although Zhou Fu didn't care whether Bai Lang hated him or not, he didn't want to turn a friend into an enemy because of this matter. The loss outweighed the gain.
The two of them arrived at the dungeon. When the guard saw Zhou Fu coming over, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "This subordinate greets Lord."
"Hmm, what about Zhang Yao?"
The guard's face suddenly showed a trace of horror. He nodded his head forcefully: "Alive, but … but no longer looks like a human."
After hearing the guard's description, Zhou Fu raised his eyebrows. He didn't say anything else and walked down the dungeon with Bai Lang.
Although it was night, the dungeon was brightly lit, and one could still hear the screams and shouts of questioning.
Pa!
Pa!
In the midst of the screams, someone asked sternly, "Speak!
What is the antidote?! "
Gulp ~
The sudden sound of someone swallowing their saliva made Zhou Fu turn his head to look back.
He saw that Bai Lang's face was a little pale. When he saw Zhou Fu turn his head, he showed a smile that was no better than crying. He said with a trembling voice, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Zhou Fu smiled kindly. Who knew that Bai Lang would actually shiver.
He turned his head gloomily and continued to walk inside.
When he came to the front of the cell and looked through the bars, Zhou Fu was stunned. Bai Lang, who was beside him, sucked in a breath of cold air: "What the f * ck is this thing?!"
He saw that on the shelf in the cell, there was a monster with a human face tied to it. However, its limbs and torso had become withered branches. There were also a large number of branches that extended to other places.
After pushing the door open and entering, Zhou Fu saw from the corner of his eye that there was a large pile of firewood in the corner of the room. Some of the firewood had branches and leaves on it.
Seeing these things, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. This thing couldn't have been cut off from Zhang Yao's body, right?
Seeing Zhou Fu come in, the guard who was interrogating stopped and quickly said, "Sir, I am asking for the antidote. This monster hasn't said anything."
"Okay, I got it. You can leave first."
"Yes!"
After the guard left, Bai Lang pointed at the shelf and asked, "Brother Zhou … this thing is Zhang Yao?"
"It should be!" Zhou Fu nodded. "When I first caught him, he was still in human form."
Then, Zhou Fu gestured to the cell next door. Bai Lang also looked over.
"That is Zhang Yao's wife … Uh, no, it should be Zhang Yao's sister, Zhang Qingyan. You should know her."
Bai Lang carefully looked at the woman who had a wooden expression like a puppet. There was no life in her eyes. After looking for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's her!"
After confirming Zhang Qingyan's identity, he looked at the 'person' on the shelf again.
Zhang Yao was also looking at Bai Lang.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yao smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. Isn't this Young Master Bai? Hahahaha!
Why, don't you recognize me? "
Although they looked similar, Bai Lang didn't dare to confirm that this person was Zhang Yao.
However, as Zhang Yao spoke, a familiar voice sounded. Bai Lang's memory instantly became clear. Even the hatred in his heart rushed to his head.
"It's you!
It's you!
Zhang Yao!
I'll kill you! "
Seeing that Bai Lang was about to rush forward, Zhou Fu grabbed him.
"Hey, hey, hey!
Brother Bai, Brother Bai! "
Seeing Bai Lang struggling in his hand, even his eyes started to turn red.
Zhou Fu sighed. He grabbed Bai Lang's hand and released his inner strength.
The inner strength was like a torrent. In an instant, Bai Lang's muscles and bones were stretched. His entire body was sore, and he didn't have the strength to struggle anymore.
"Brother Bai, don't be agitated. Since I brought you here to see him, I will let you take revenge for the two of you.
The most important thing now is to get the antidote, right? "
"Okay!
Brother Zhou, I'm sorry.
I … I was too impulsive. "
Zhou Fu pulled Bai Lang to his side.
"Antidote … Hahahaha …" Zhang Yao suddenly laughed. Even his body started to drip some thick black liquid.
"Chen Wenyao is doing very well now."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yao stopped laughing. He stared at Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu smiled and said, "That child's mind is very clear. He ran out of the city in the middle of the night. He didn't dare to walk on the main roads and only used the small paths in the forest. He made my subordinates suffer a lot."
Zhang Yao growled, "You … What are you trying to say!"
"Nothing much. I just want to praise that child Chen Wenyao. He's really good. He knows how to work hard. Every day, he uses the wild beasts in the forest to train his strength. It's been two months. No matter if it's windy or rainy, he hasn't slacked off for a single day.
His strength has increased very quickly. Now, he's already at the first level of the Bone Forging Stage. I estimate that in a few months, he'll be able to step into the second level of the Bone Forging Stage.
Are you very happy and gratified? "
"You bastard!
What are you trying to do! "
Zhang Yao constantly roared, "You said that you would let my Zhang family live. That child wouldn't come back for revenge. What else are you trying to do!"
Zhou Fu nodded, "That's right. I said that before, and it won't change!"
He stared into Zhang Yao's eyes, "The antidote!"
"The Jin family's second miss has been poisoned for so many years. The poison has already fused with her body. There's no way to remove it!
Even if you have the antidote, it won't work! "
Hearing Zhang Yao's words, Bai Lang began to cry.
Actually, in Bai Lang's heart, he had already agreed with Zhang Yao's words. It was impossible to remove.
Zhou Fu sneered, "Even if it can't be removed, she can still live like a normal person, get married, and have children."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying in the cell instantly disappeared.
"Zhang Yao, don't be ungrateful. Tell me the antidote."
A series of prescriptions came out of Zhang Yao's mouth. Bai Lang hurriedly memorized them. After Zhang Yao finished speaking, Bai Lang and Zhang Yao went through it twice before memorizing it.
"At least you know what's good for you!"
Zhou Fu pulled Bai Lang and was about to leave.
"Zhou … Mr Zhou," Zhang Yao said.
At the door of the cell, Zhou Fu stopped and turned to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"How do you plan to … deal with him?"
Zhou Fu thought for a moment and said, "He won't be able to have power anymore. I'll destroy his cultivation and send him to a remote village to be a normal person.
Don't worry, with his looks, he won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife. Your Zhang family's bloodline won't end! "
"That's good, that's good …" Zhang Yao nodded and didn't say anything else.
…
When the two of them came up from the dungeon, Zhou Fu ordered the servants to prepare the antidote.
After that, Zhou Fu told Bai Lang to wash up first, fearing that Zhang Yao was poisoned.
After that, the two of them ate some food.
After they finished eating, a carriage drove into the mansion.
"Sir, the Jin family's second miss and those things have been brought over."
Two maids supported a pale-faced woman as they walked in.
The woman had a panicked expression on her face until she saw Bai Lang. She hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"
Bai Lang walked over in two steps and took the woman from the maid's hands. Then, he helped her sit down.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!
I'm fine. "
Zhou Fu smiled. "Brother Bai, let the doctor take a look at the Jin family's second miss first."
"Okay!"
An old man with white hair and beard walked over and began to check the Jin family's second miss' condition.
Bai Lang comforted her, "Yuanxi, this is Zhou Fu, Young Master Zhou, that I mentioned to you before. We're good friends.
Now that he's found the antidote, you'll get better in the future! "
"Antidote?" Jin Yuanxi's eyes widened. "You … you found that person?"
Bai Lang nodded heavily. "I found him!"
Before Jin Yuanxi could speak again, a violent voice sounded at the door. "Where is he?!
Where is that thief?!
I'm going to kill him! "
The loud sound made the ordinary people in the room dizzy.
"Hmph!
How dare you! "Zhou Fu snorted coldly and pointed at the old man standing at the door with a gust of wind.
"Tell me, where is that thief?!"
The old man ignored Zhou Fu's gust of wind and let the attack fall on his body.
He was very confident in his body and didn't think that this kind of attack could hurt him.
Indeed, as he thought, this attack didn't break his defense, but it did make him take a step back.
"What a strong force!"
Zhou Fu looked at the old man and said, "This is not a place for you to behave atrociously. If you want to die, I can help you!"
Hearing this, the old man laughed angrily. "Little kid, how arrogant!"
"Don't hit him!
Don't hit him! "
Bai Lang recovered from his dizziness and hurriedly shouted. He said to Zhou Fu, "Brother Zhou, this is my wife's grandfather, the elder of the Body Refining Hall, Jin Shahai!"
