However, according to reports from family spies, there have been no less than a dozen open and secret sentries spying on the family in recent days. I thought about it, and the scales of the Explosive Flame Dragon are not safe anywhere. Today, when Elder Tusr is here,
I suddenly became enlightened! "
Tusir had a strange expression on his face:
"You mean to leave the Blazing Dragon scales to me for safekeeping?"
Ling Fei nodded seriously:
"That's what it means!"
Watching Tusir's old and tall back disappear at the entrance of the hall, Moni stood up and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Why did you hand over the Blazing Dragon Scales to him so easily? Aren't you afraid?"
Ling Fei smiled, turned around and asked:
"Afraid, why are you afraid?"
Mo Ni was just about to talk to Ling Fei about this matter with a straight face, but suddenly thought of something, her face softened and she said to Ling Fei:
"By the way, Elder Lingfei, let me introduce to you, this is Grandma Meslin, the branch patriarch of Haisen City!"
Ling Fei turned around and saw a look of understanding on his face. This was the old lady who took the initiative to refute Piesman at the end.
The old lady bowed respectfully to Mo Ni and Ling Fei, and then smiled:
"I haven't seen Miss Mo Ni for several years, but she has already become so beautiful! The old woman doesn't even dare to recognize her."
Listening to the old lady's words, Mo Ni showed a rare smile on her face and said to Ling Fei:
"Grandma Meslin is not an outsider. She is my aunt and Emma's biological grandmother."
Until this moment, Ling Fei's face was a little moved. It was not that he was surprised by the old lady in front of him, but because of Emma. He always thought that Emma was the little maid from Mo Ni's family.
Thinking that Emma is actually Moni's cousin.
As if she knew what Ling Fei was thinking, Mrs. Meslin smiled and said:
"In order to better understand the element of water, Miss Mo Ni has been living in our Haisen City. It can be said that Miss Mo Ni and Emma are good sisters who grew up together, so when Miss Mo Ni wants to return to Bobo City, I
I specifically asked her to stay with the young lady."
Ling Fei showed a look of surprise, but then asked:
"That's not right. Then why were you in the Western Continent when we met?"
Mentioning this matter, Mo Ni's face turned ugly:
"When talking about this matter, I have to mention Bonin. She told me that Rhea City was recruiting apprentices for a great water magician, so I had the mentality of giving it a try and planned to give it a try. You know, because
To go to Rhea City, I had to pass through the Held Desert, a forbidden area of death, so my father asked Bonin, the only female venerable in the family, to accompany me to Rhea City and meet my aunt by the way. Emma, because of her health,
The reason for being relatively weak
I didn't follow, but I never expected that after I went to Rhea City, I found out that the Holy Magician had stopped beckoning students a year ago and started to retreat. So, I stayed at my aunt's place for a few
After a month, we planned to return to the west. Unexpectedly, when we were in the Held Desert again, we encountered sand bandits and unfortunately were caught. At that time, we relied on Bonin to escape back to Guis City, and then we
I met you..."
"So that's it. It seems like all this was planned in advance."
Ling Fei's eyes flashed and he said softly.
"What's the plan?"
Mo Ni asked nervously.
Ling Fei was not in a hurry to answer Moni's question, but looked at Meslin aside. Moni said directly:
"Grandma Meslin is the person I trust most among all branches of the family. If I can't trust her, then I have no one I can trust."
Her meaning was very simple, it was okay to let Ling Fei speak directly. Ling Fei nodded and said:
"According to my assessment of the toxins in your father's body, the time is exactly one year. In other words, the other party planned to start poisoning after you left..."
Before Ling Fei could finish speaking, Meslin's expression changed drastically and he asked nervously:
"You are saying that the head of the family is not taking a break because he is seriously ill, but because he is poisoned?"
Mo Ni's face also turned cold, she nodded and said:
"Yes, Grandma Meslin, my father was given a chronic poison and is now terminally ill."
Ling Fei glanced at Mo Ni calmly. Now it was an internal matter within their family. As a bystander, he chose to remain silent.
"Then, has the master's poison been found to be poisonous? Is there any way to detoxify it?"
Meslin asked nervously.
Mentioning this matter, Mo Ni forced a smile:
"Fortunately, Mr. Lingfei is here. He happened to have seen this kind of poison. However, the detoxification materials are very rare. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Mr. Lingfei took out the materials he had on him and said that he was doing such a business.
, But in fact, this kind of detoxification material was specially added to the exchanged buying and selling materials, so that it would not attract other people's attention."
Meslin breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself:
"So that's it. Well, by the way, miss, I wonder what kind of material this antidote is made of?"
Mo Ni glanced at Ling Fei with some embarrassment, and when she saw Ling Fei nodded slightly towards him, she whispered:
"Lost fruit!"
"Is it the kind of fruit that grows in corals lost at the bottom of the sea?"
Hearing this name, Meslin's face showed a look of fear, but it returned to its original state in an instant.
Seeing Moni nod, Meslin sighed, bowed to Moni again and said:
"In this case, I won't stay here anymore, old lady, and I will quickly go back to the city to see if I can buy that kind of fruit."
Mo Ni did not hold back the old lady's departure, but quietly waited for her to leave. When she and Ling Fei were the only two people left in the hall, she said worriedly:
"Ling Fei, do you think our plan can succeed?"
Ling Fei smiled and said:
"You think too much, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"However, I think this plan is a bit too blatant. With the calculations of these old foxes, it may be difficult to hide it from their eyes and ears!"
Mo Ni said still somewhat unwillingly.
"Hide it? Why hide it from them?"
Ling Fei asked with a bright smile on his face.
Now Mo Ni was confused. The more she looked at Ling Fei, the less she could understand what he was thinking:
"Isn't this plan to split the branch families and unite to deal with the main family?"
Ling Fei nodded, not feeling any contradiction between his words and Mo Ni's question.
But Moni didn't understand, and she said a little frustrated:
"You know you can't hide it from them, so isn't it a waste of all our efforts? They will definitely not be fooled!"
Ling Fei smiled and said:
"You are really stupid. We had no intention of hiding our plan from them. The purpose of businessmen is to pursue profits. Even if the thirty-six branches really unite to deal with the main family, there is only one position for the head of the main family.
No matter who among them finally takes the position of the head of the family, the benefit will only be to the family."
