610: Poison

Poison

Mr. Li shut his mouth.2

No one knew better than him what I wanted from Ma Ji.

Jing Tian moved. I quickly bent over to look at him. His face wasn't as pale as before. I felt relieved and gently held his hand.

"Girl, there's something I have to tell you," Mr. Li lowered his voice.

"Hmm." I stared at Jing Tian without blinking.

"In the future, don't let Jing Tian get too far away from you. If you stay too far away from him for too long, Jing Tian will have a headache. It will get worse and worse until you reappear by his side." There was a hint of helplessness in Mr. Li's voice.

I suddenly turned around to look at him. This symptom was so familiar.

Mr. Li smiled wryly. "That's right. This is the poison used by that woman. However, she doesn't have the real Phoenix Blood, so the poison was only superficial. It was still tolerable."

"That time, my blood was used to cure Jing Tian." I knew what happened back then.

Mr. Li nodded. "While Ma Ji cured Jing Tian, she also erased Jing Tian's memory of you. She wanted to wipe his memory of you so that you'd give up on Jing Tian and to stop Jing Tian from tracking you."

I wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Are you wondering why they didn't do anything to Tong Le?" Mr. Li could tell what I was thinking. Jing Tian might forget about me, but my little uncle didn't. He would track me down.

Mr. Li said, "Nanxing has Phoenix Blood. She will bring tragedy to the Tong Family. This is something everyone in the Tong family knows. Tong Le kept you by his side just to get your property. I think he must have gotten a lot from you after so many years. Otherwise, how could the Dragon's Gate be the size it is today? At that point, he should be happy that you were taken away. Someone saved him the trouble." 

I was stunned and shook my head. "That's not true!"

"But Tong Hui would think that's the case." Mr. Li shook his head and sighed.

I understood. "Tong Hui thinks everyone is the same as him. But... How do you know this... Do you know Tong Hui? But aren't you a witch hunter? Tong Hui isn't a black magic user. Why do you know him so well?"

Mr. Li raised his eyes to look at me. "There's a big difference between having memory and not having memory. Your brain didn't spin so quickly before you regained your memories."

I ignored him. "Why do you know Tong Hui so well?"

Mr. Li rolled his eyes at me. "Ma Ji's family has already escaped for three generations. The witch hunters were hot-blooded at the beginning and were completely annihilated. By my generations, I have to learn from the failures of my ancestors."

I understood. "So, after you found Ma Ji's whereabouts, you started to study her behavior and the people around her?"

Mr. Li shrugged. "You have to know your enemies to win."

I nodded. "So, do you know her now?"

Mr. Li shrugged again. "All my knowledge is theoretical. I haven't tried them on the battlefield."

"Then, be prepared because we're bringing the battle to us. Her backup is Tong Hui. They are already in desperation. Your back-up is me, Jing Tian, little uncle, Jing Ni, and Qu Hao."

I relaxed my nerves and faced the future calmly.
