Chapter 2695: Intention of Reconciliation
The expression on the Poison King's face immediately became stiff. If Zhao Xiaoyi wanted to help him, even if he refused, it would be too direct.
Xiao Yi lay on the chair and ignored the look in the Poison King's eyes. The Poison King was very helpless at the moment. He hesitated for a while and spoke.
"I said, Xiao Yi, are you a bit uninterested now? I have tried my best to give you what you and I asked for before, but now I am just asking you to do me one thing."
"Yeah, I've got the stuff anyway. Now that I'm talking about you, why do you have to come to me?"
"This is not because of Xiao Yi, you are very skilled. If you look for me, I will definitely find him."
"I don't have time. I'll look for whoever I want. Don't disturb my sleep, or I'll steal your Poison Book later and burn it!"
The old man, the Poison King, immediately covered his clothes. Ever since he got the Poison Sutra, the old guy had always carried it close to his body and took it out to look through it whenever he had time.
He was anxious now. It was really because he couldn't do it that he came to ask Xiao Yi. If he had a way, he wouldn't be angry with Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, will you die if you help me once?"
"No...but I will be unhappy. It must not be easy to do something that even an old guy like you can't do, right?"
Xiao Yi guessed that if he didn't tell lies in front of the real person, the Poison King would know that he couldn't hide it from Xiao Yi, so he explained it directly here.
"You are right. The herb I am looking for needs to go through the grassland over there. According to the news from people here, it should only be found in the central area."
"So it's deep in the grassland, where lions, cheetahs and other wild beasts live. Old man, you really know how to find a place."
"I didn't find it. This kind of medicinal herb can only grow in that kind of environment. Xiao Yi, please help me. If you help me this time, I can agree to any conditions."
The old man Poison King threw out his bottom line, because it was recorded in the Poison Scripture that if you want to prepare the poison, this herb is indispensable.
"Bah! Shameless. It always sounds weird to say something so dirty."
Xiao Yi cursed and said, this kind of words are usually said by women to those gangsters, as long as you don't kill me, you can do anything.
The old man Poison King's face was originally dark, but after Xiao Yi said something, it became even darker. At this moment, he had the urge to hit a wall, and he said helplessly.
"Could it be that...boy Xiao Yi, can't you help me?"
It's not that Xiao Yi doesn't help the old man, he just likes to see the old guy helpless here.
There was one more thing he wanted to deal with before leaving here, and that was the conflict between Poison King and Duan Zhisheng.
No matter what, the two of them are from the same school, and Poison King is not a complete bad guy. It's just that because of some things in the past, he still holds grudges until now, which is a bit undeserved.
The matchmaker also approached Xiao Yi once, hoping that Xiao Yi would find a way to resolve the conflict between senior brother and Duan Zhisheng. There was no need to continue like this.
"I said there are other masters here, why do you have to look for me?"
"Other masters? Apart from you, there are only..."
"You old guy, aren't you stupid? Your junior brother has real skills. He just helps you go for a walk. It shouldn't be a difficult task. There is no need to beg me here."
The Poison King knew who Xiao Yi was talking about. Xiao Yi was talking about his junior brother, Duan Zhisheng.
There has been a misunderstanding between him and Duan Zhisheng for a long time. If Xiao Yi hadn't taken action, the two of them would never have contact with each other, and no one would care about the other.
Poison King shook his head and rejected Xiao Yi's idea. He took a few steps back and said here.
"This is impossible, this is impossible. My junior brother hates me to the core, how can he help me? Xiao Yi, you are kidding."
"Is there anything impossible? After all, you are also his senior brother. Two people come from the same school. You can't always act like enemies, right?"
"I asked my junior brother to test the medicine, but something went wrong. I ran out quickly. When I was looking for a way to save myself, I heard my junior brother holding a knife and looking for me everywhere."
Xiao Yi sat here and listened to the Poison King say that the Poison King made an unintentional mistake that year, which resulted in such consequences, and because of this incident, Duan Zhisheng's bottom line was touched.
"I felt that I was wronging my junior brother before, let alone this time, so I have been avoiding him, and he has been chasing me. From now on, the conflict is getting deeper and deeper."
"Let me tell you, you old guy is so cheap that you had to use your junior brother to test the poison. He was fed poison by you."
If the Poison King did such a thing, let alone Duan Zhisheng, if it were Xiao Yi, he would be chopped off with one knife right now.
That is the foundation of a man, the greatest dignity of a man. It is reasonable for Duan Zhisheng to pursue and kill the Poison King afterwards.
No matter what, things have passed and people will look forward. They can't stay in the past forever, Xiao Yi thought for a while and said.
"Old man, this is an opportunity. It depends on whether you have the intention to solemnly apologize to your junior brother and resolve the conflict between the two of you."
"Is this...is this okay? My junior brother is quite stubborn, and the two of them can't agree on personnel matters."
"How can I know, but Mr. Poison King, you don't have children, right? No... you don't even have a wife, how can you have children?"
The Poison King was choked by Xiao Yi's words and kept coughing. He had lived so long in his life, but he really had no wife.
First of all, if he hadn't been more careful and active in helping his master, that person would not have accepted him as an apprentice. When he became his apprentice, the Poison King was already in his forties.
As the saying goes, yesterday's yellow flowers - old and sad, the Poison King is an old man who has never touched a woman, how could he have a child? Xiao Yi was just exposing his shortcomings.
"Xiao Yi boy... Why do I always feel that I will live a few years less every time I talk to you?"
Xiao Yi was really angry, his face turned from black to green, and he waved his hand.
"Just kidding... You can think about it. First, you don't have a wife, and second, you don't have children, and you don't even have any relatives. Sooner or later, you will kick your legs and enter the coffin."
"What do you want to say?"
"Everyone will die one day. If you die, there will be no one to collect your body. Just dig a hole and bury it. Others will visit their graves on Qingming Festival, but your grave will be covered with grass taller than people. No one will take care of it. Isn't it miserable?"
Originally, the Poison King was used to being alone, and life and death didn't matter. But today, when Xiao Yi brought up such a thing, why did he feel so miserable?
"Ahem... Stop talking... Xiao Yi, don't talk. I dare not die because of what you said. Don't you want me to reconcile with my junior brother? I'll try..."
