869. Strange Potion (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Any reaction on Mo Fei’s side?” Wei Yanhe asked the several of them.
“Cheng Mobai exchanged three drops of the potion from Zhao Hou. I think, they should be suspicious now.” Tang Shunfeng helplessly said.
Wei Yanhe squinted his eyes and thought in his heart: “Sure enough, their potion is based on the one Mo Fei worked out. Once those three drops go into Mo Fei’s hands, he’d instantly know what has happened!”
“They got suspicious, but there was no follow-up.” Chu Changsheng faintly said.
“It’s only tough because they didn’t do anything!” Wei Yanhe sighed helplessly.
If Mo Fei did something, they could say he was young and aggressive, too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and still wet behind the ears, they could take the opportunity to put the blame on him. But, Mo Fei didn’t take a move!
Feng Tianhong shook his head, “Well, we shouldn’t think so much, we still need to concentrate on the study of the antidote potion. There are so many of us. We may lose to Mo Fei once, but we can’t lose to him every time!”
Wei Yanhe nodded, “Yeah, you are right.”
…
“Brother Cheng, I heard that you are collecting star herbs recently. What can I do for you?” Liu Ye asked gallantly.
Cheng Mobai smiled darkly, “No need, I have almost collected enough of them.”
Liu Ye looked at Cheng Mobai, “Brother Cheng, you are too polite.”
Cheng Mobai stared at him, “I still feel sorry in my heart that I failed to help you with the potions last time. I really don’t have the face to trouble you again.”
Liu Ye disagreed, “Brother Cheng, don’t take me as an outsider! I didn’t put it in my heart at all.”
Cheng Mobai reluctantly smiled, “I didn’t take you as an outsider. But I am indeed almost finished. So no need to trouble you.”
“Really?” said Liu Ye.
Cheng Mobai smiled and said, “Yes!”
Liu Ye and Cheng Mobai talked for a while, did not trick out any useful information, so he left.
Cheng Mobai watched Liu Ye’s back, on the face flashed a trace of anger.
Seeing Liu Ye leave, Zhao Hou came to Cheng Mobai’s side, “Brother Cheng, it seems you take Liu Ye as an outsider!”
Cheng Mobai smiled, “No, I don’t!”
Zhao Hou looked at cheng Mobai and said disapprovingly, “Really?”
Cheng Mobai looked at Zhao Hou’s wily and calculating appearance, saying grumpily, “Kind of, but that’s because that guy looks a bit crafty.”
Zhao Hou looked at Cheng Mobai and got straight to the point, “Is the potion the association worked out related to the one Mo Fei refined last time?”
Cheng Mobai’s heart tightened, “The association is the association, Mo Fei is Mo Fei. How could they be related?” Though he was saying those words against his own will, he still concealed it as Mo Fei told him so.
“Really?” Zhao Hou disagreed, “The poison attack would be more and more intense each time. I thought Liu Ye would die due to the huge pains. But the fact is, he survived.”
Cheng Mobai drew a deep breath, thinking in his heart: So Zhao Hou should have been suspicious already, he just didn’t speak it out.
He scratched his head, one is scheming than another. Those guys are really a big trouble!
“…”
“My disciple, these are the star herbs you asked for.” Cheng Mobai handed a jade box to Mo Fei.
Mo Fei gave him a surprising look, “So fast? Shifu,, didn’t you say it would take a few days for those star herbs I want?”
Cheng Mobai shrugged his shoulders, “That’s all thanks to Zhao Hou’s help.”
Unlike Cheng Mobai and Wang Weixing who were already no disciple to any sect, Zhao Hou was the senior master of a sect, so with an order of his, those elders should show him some face.
“Zhao Hou?” Mo Fei squinted his eyes. “How is this guy so kind?”
Cheng Mobai twitched his mouth, “He is not kind, but values your ability.”
Mo Fei picked his eyebrows, feeling pleased, “Really? He really has the vision!”
Cheng Mobai nodded, “Yeah, although most people have no eyes, some can still tell good from bad.”
Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei, “All right, Mo Fei, we need to work on the painkilling potion first.”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “You’re right.”
