Chapter 210 Nutrient
The waiter looked up at Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang said, "Your brother's cultivation has only been absorbed, not destroyed. As long as you can buy some time, you have a chance to survive."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately got up and ran to Arno's side, taking out clothes for Arno to wear: "We have to leave right away."
Although the worm inside his body was removed, it absorbed too much cultivation energy, and since it was a demonic creature, it affected Arno's body, making it impossible for him to recover in a short time.
Ye Qingshuang took two steps forward, raised her hands to form a hand seal, and a force fell on Arno, purifying the demonic energy left by the worm.
Without the demonic energy, Arno's physical condition should allow him to recover in a month or two at most.
As a cultivator, Arno could clearly feel the benefits that Ye Qingshuang's power brought to his body, and sincerely said, "Thank you."
"Instead of thanking me, you should explain the situation in more detail," Ye Qingshuang said. "Why did the Crown Prince suddenly attack you?"
According to Xiao Er, Arno went to the capital to study at a young age because of his high talent. Since the Crown Prince had his eye on him, why didn't he make a move when Arno first arrived, but waited until now?
Why, after absorbing enough cultivation energy, did he not kill the person directly, but instead waited to see Arno die naturally?
These were all suspicious points. In addition, since they were looking for strange things, Ye Qingshuang felt it was quite strange that something from the demon race would appear here, so she asked.
After listening to Ye Qingshuang's words, Arno said, "Three months ago, the academy arranged a hunting trip to Cangping Plain in Jiuqing City. The Crown Prince had not had much contact with me before, but after returning from that trip, he took the initiative to contact me. If anything, it should be from that time onwards."
After listening, Ye Qingshuang asked, "After that incident, did any new people appear around the Crown Prince?"
Arno thought about it carefully and shook his head: "I don't know. I'm usually busy cultivating and haven't paid attention to the Crown Prince."
"Alright." Ye Qing Shuang was a little disappointed that she couldn't find out more, but knowing about the Demon Worm was at least giving her some clues.
Ye Qingshuang withdrew her hand and looked at Xiao Er and Arno: "Farewell."
"Miss." The waiter called out, and Ye Qingshuang looked over. The waiter knelt down again with a thud: "Miss, thank you. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead."
Ye Qingshuang looked at him and said, "Get up. You only have a sliver of hope. Whether you can survive is still uncertain. It all depends on your luck."
After Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, she left with the white wine.
...
The next morning, in the inn's kitchen.
"hiss"
"Hot, hot, hot."
Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu stood in front of a pot. The fire was lit, the water was boiling, and the eggs were ready. However, when they were cracking the eggs, they didn't hold the position properly, and the eggs fell, splashing water. Since neither of them knew how to defend themselves while cooking, the scalding water dripped onto their hands, and Ye Qingshuang immediately jumped up.
"What are you doing?" Lin Chengtian heard the noise and brought Lin Xinze over, only to see the two of them helplessly staring at a pot.
When Ye Qingshuang saw Lin Chengtian, it was as if she had seen a savior: "Come and help me quickly."
Lin Chengtian walked over and asked, knowing the answer already, "Where's Xiao Er?"
Ye Qingshuang muttered, "I made him leave, otherwise why would I be cooking so early in the morning?"
Lin Chengtian glanced at her: "Are you happy now that you've gone through all that trouble?"
Ye Qingshuang didn't answer directly, but simply said, "I was bored, so I meddled in someone else's business."
“They are pitiful,” Baijiu said. “Qingshuang said that Arno has excellent talent. If it weren’t for the worm, his cultivation would be close to that of a Spirit Saint.”
Lin Chengtian: "...That's excellent."
“Even if it’s bad, we won’t be targeted.” Ye Qingshuang handed the spoon to Lin Chengtian, stepped aside, and chatted with Lin Chengtian about what happened last night.
After finishing speaking, Ye Qingshuang added, "I originally wanted to go to Cangping Plain to take a look, but after thinking about it, I felt it was unnecessary. Regardless of whether the unusual event occurred in Cangping Plain, now that the Crown Prince is in trouble, we can just go directly to the Crown Prince."
Lin Chengtian said, "Just tell Ling Yi where you're going, and I'll listen to Ling Yi."
"I know," Ye Qingshuang said. "I'll talk to her after breakfast."
"Mm," Lin Chengtian replied.
The eggs were cooked quickly, and Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu took them out.
Ling Yi happened to bring Ji Yanzhi down, and the group sat down around a table.
Ling Yi didn't care about what happened last night, and didn't ask about it until Ye Qingshuang brought it up after they finished eating.
After listening to Ye Qingshuang's words, Ling Yi said, "Then let's go to the capital."
"Okay," Ye Qingshuang replied with a smile.
After finishing their meal, the group opened the inn door and went outside.
When they came out, the surrounding shops had just opened, and the people there looked at them strangely when they saw them coming out of the inn.
Clearly, they knew what had happened at the inn, and the reason they were looking at them this way was probably because they couldn't understand why the innkeepers didn't seem to mind the screams.
The group didn't linger and left the city as quickly as possible. Once outside the city, they rode the little golden tiger towards the capital.
...
At that time, the Crown Prince's dormitory at the Imperial Academy.
A series of crackling sounds rang out, followed by an angry male voice: "Useless!"
"They're all trash!"
"Your Highness, please forgive me." Seeing the angry man, the person who came to report the news immediately knelt down.
The crown prince lowered his eyes to look at him, his gaze fierce and his tone icy: "Even with promises made, you still think you can mess things up?"
The person reporting the news lowered his head, not daring to refute it.
The teacher suggested sending him back, and the Crown Prince allowed it. It was only because Xu Nuo had no power to resist that only four people were sent. Those four were all Yellow Spirit Masters, and their cultivation was not weak. Watching Xu Nuo was enough. Who knew that something could still happen?
Unfortunately, all four of them were dead, and since they weren't at the scene, they didn't know what had happened.
"Alright." Just as the Crown Prince was furious, a gentle female voice rang out: "Don't make things difficult for your subordinate. He's no ordinary person, capable of dealing with the worms. Let him go."
Upon hearing the voice, the crown prince was instantly calmed down, while the man kneeling in the room did not hear it at all and waited anxiously for instructions.
The crown prince looked at the man and said, "Get out."
"Yes," the man replied, and then immediately left.
After the man left, the crown prince took out a fragment from his robes: "Yun'er, you said the other party is unusual. They destroyed the worm. What should I do?"
“Simple.” The voice rang out again: “Lure the people who need to be dealt with here, and I will help Your Highness deal with them, making those people nourishment for Your Highness.”
"Very good, very good." The Crown Prince said happily, "I will arrange for people to investigate them and lure them to the capital."
"Your Highness, don't be afraid," the voice said gently. "With me here, I will not let anyone hinder Your Highness's growth."
"Yun'er, I feel at ease with you here." The Crown Prince stared at the fragment in his hand with great care.
