Chapter 488: Chapter 66 - I am a convict [Seeking monthly tickets!]_1

Upon seeing Li Chengfeng in this state, Xue Muyu’s gaze turned sour and she said, "Well, well! I was on duty tonight and you sneak off to drink!"

"Just a few drinks... a few drinks..." Li Chengfeng quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xue Muyu’s hand, and pointed at Chu Liang, "We have a newcomer here. We should welcome the newcomer, that’s the rule, isn’t it..."

"What about our household rules? Didn’t I tell you no drinking?" Xue Muyu retorted unhappily.

"Let’s go outside to talk... outside...", Li Chengfeng managed while suppressing his smile, guiding her out

The citizens of Yu Capital City could hardly imagine that the elegant and graceful white-robed swordsman in their eyes also had to bear scolding at home for having a drink.

Jiang Yuebai, standing aside, watched Chu Liang, his face equally solemn, "So you’ve been drinking and having fun here..."

"Just a few drinks..." Chu Liang quickly approached and whispered, "I didn’t want to, but the brothers insisted it’s the rule here."

"Hmph." Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly.

At first, she was still worried that Chu Liang was not doing well here, but now it seemed that he was having too good a time.

She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt a bit annoyed.

The thought that she’d been running around working for him and he’d been here eating, drinking, and having fun made her upset...

"Let’s go outside to talk... outside." Chu Liang was also pushing Jiang Yuebai out.

There was only Ji Zidian and a few subordinate chiefs left at the table laughing and watching as the two men were led away by the women.

"A husband who can’t exert himself, huh." Ji Zidian teased, "They can’t even enjoy a drink in peace."

"Just as well we haven’t got any wives to scold us for drinking!" said another official laughing.

As he said this, the smiles on the faces of the others suddenly disappeared.

"Yeah, isn’t it nice..."

"Uh..."

"Isn’t it?"

Somehow, the wine in their hands suddenly didn’t taste as good anymore.

...

As Chu Liang stepped outside with Jiang Yuebai, they found themselves on a small path behind the inner courtyard of the Regent Residence. It was quiet and deserted in the nighttime here.

"You must have worked hard these past few days," Chu Liang said with concern, "running around for my sake."

"Fortunately, it wasn’t all in vain." At this point, Jiang Yuebai had also composed herself and told him about her experiences in the Red River Sect and Black Pine Ridge.

"Black Pine Ridge has been wiped out?" After listening to her, Chu Liang frowned in thought. This was much more severe than the Red River Sect incident.

Although he couldn’t confirm that this matter was connected to the Red River Sect case, it was hard not to link them given the current situation.

Even the little butterfly he had saved, was it trying to deceive him too...

A butterfly breed from the Eastern Sea, claiming to be from the Butterfly Fairy Valley, obviously wanted to gain his trust, and then lead him to the Jade Pot Immortal Plant.

In this way, it was more like a premeditated frame-up.

Xue Tian Guan said that the savage beast Qiongqi has been in the East Sea’s Rootless Island under strict supervision from Penglai for years, it shouldn’t have had the chance to wreak havoc in the Nine States Land. They will go to the East Sea to investigate tomorrow," continued Jiang Yuebai, "Even if we can’t prove that it’s connected with the Red River Sect incident, at least it proves that there’s more to the story here. Just wait a few more days, the truth will surely emerge."

"I can’t thank you enough...." Chu Liang looked at Jiang Yuebai, feeling somewhat moved.

In such a short period, she had found out so much - it must have been hard work.

As he was about to say something else, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then a large group of people rushed in chaotically. They were all suited in armor and bearing swords. If it weren’t for the presence of the guards at the entrance of the Regent Residence, he would have thought they were here to loot his place.

"Where are the Sky Officials?" the leading soldier cried out, "Please save my brother quickly!"

Chu Liang saw them carrying a soldier dressed in similar armor—he was shaking violently, his whole body was black and he was completely unconscious.

As soon as the noise started, Ji Zidian appeared beside the injured man like a flash of lightning.

He grabbed the injured man’s wrist and asked, "What happened? Where are you soldiers from?"

"I am Flag Officer Zhou Li of the City Patrol," the soldier said, "While patrolling around earlier, we suddenly noticed an odd black shadow, so we followed it to investigate. But that black shadow was as vicious as a wild beast while appearing human. It bit my brother’s wrist, and he immediately turned into this state! In our desperation, we came to the Regent Residence for help, begging the Sky Official to assist us!"

After he finished speaking, the expression on Ji Zidian’s face became increasingly heavy.

"This doesn’t look like an injury caused by some evil spirits. It’s more like a poisoning." Ji Zidian said, "I can only suppress his meridians to prevent the poison from spreading further. The official Fang Tian, who is the most proficient in detoxification and medicine formulation in the residence, is not present. If we want to detoxify him, we must seek another healer."

Before he finished speaking, the injured person suddenly began to convulse again. His eyes were bloodshot and crimson, and he cried out, looking as if he wanted to find something to bite.

However, with Ji Zidian there, a mere finger poke from him let loose a Golden Dragon Excursion, and the man could no longer move.

But this did nothing to aid in the detoxification.

"Poisoned?" The leading soldier panicked, "Looking at his condition, I’m afraid the poison has already reached his heart. How could he hold on until the doctor arrives?"

Moreover, even if a doctor does arrive, it would be okay if they knew what the poison was, but if they didn’t, it’s possible they would have to spend some time analysing it.

How could the man hold onto his life until then?

But everyone has their own specialties, and the Regent Residence really isn’t cut out for this kind of work.

At this moment, Xue Muyu also hurried over. She applied her techniques, and a ray of divine light was poured into the body of the injured person, temporarily alleviating his condition. However, she looked uneasy: "I can only prolong his life briefly. But the poison is so deep that if it is not resolved within a short time, I’m afraid he will still die."

Her Divine Skills can heal injuries, but detoxifying poison is a different matter.

In the midst of the panic, a young man in brocade clothes on the side said, "Why not let me try?"

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Chu Liang, who had been standing by and watching the excitement.

...

Originally, if the Regent Residence could save the man, he wouldn’t have thought to intervene. But at this moment, seeing that everyone was unfamiliar with detoxification methods, he had no choice but to give it a go himself.

After all, for the injured, time equates to life.

"You can detoxify?" Ji Zidian asked.

"I can give it a try. There’s always a chance." While Chu Liang was speaking, he indicated for the others to lay the injured down, then he brought out the Detoxifying Whip. He had never actually used this tool since acquiring it, so he was unsure whether it would be effective.

Whether it worked or not depended on the injured person’s luck.

Thwack—

Under his wavering heart, his hands were nonetheless quick and decisive, delivering a firm strike of the whip on the injured man’s body.

"Ahh—" The poisoned soldier let out a mournful cry.

"You..." The Flag Officer leading the group was suddenly flustered.

Wasn’t it agreed that he was going to save him? Why did it seem like he was inflicting more harm?

But after uttering only two words, he stopped abruptly.

Because in the next second, a puff of black smoke was expelled from the injured man’s mouth!

"Everyone, step back." Ji Zidian directed everyone to dodge.

Noticing that his method had worked, Chu Liang didn’t hesitate to crack the whip a second time!

Smack! Smack smack smack!

In a flash, his rapid, successive strikes caused the poisoned man’s body to emit black smoke. However, the black color on his skin was totally expelled.

By the time the sixth strike fell, no black smoke was released, only cries of pure pain.

At that point, Chu Liang stopped.

After being disciplined harshly, the poisoned man’s complexion gradually returned to normal, and his breathing also became steady.

"Has he really recovered?" The Flag Officer of the City Patrol was overjoyed, and came forward to say, "The young gentleman’s detoxification technique is indeed powerful! May I ask your name and your official title? When my brother wakes up, I will make sure he personally visits the Regent Residence to express his gratitude for saving his life! We might even have to make a banner to present to Upper Peak, to commend your merits."

"There’s no need for a banner, it was just a small favor." Chu Liang laughed, "I don’t have an official position."

"You’re not from the Regent Residence?" The Flag Officer asked in surprise.

Seeing Chu Liang’s extraordinary cultivation at such a young age, and his unusual divine skills, he assumed Chu Liang was a rising star in the Regent Residence seeking to build his reputation and achieve great deeds.

"I suppose for now, I am indeed part of the Regent Residence. Just that..." Chu Liang smiled, "I am a prisoner."
