Chapter 1502: Chapter 839: Casually Grab Medicine to Fob Them Off
As these words settled, their gazes uniformly shifted onto Crescent.
They stared intently, even Baldy turned his attention towards Crescent.
Although no one spoke, they all understood what Crescent meant.
Ling Yu suddenly let out a chuckle.
“Is that so? I didn’t catch your response just now. Since I didn’t, why not tell me again? I am indeed quite perplexed at the moment.”
“I really do wish to receive an answer immediately. If you could respond to what I said right away, that would indeed make me very happy.”
“Then I would thank you for it, so do you know or do you not know? I want a genuine answer.”
Ling Yu didn’t ask this on purpose.
He was truly puzzled, which is why he chose to ask, and it was also an extremely important matter.
Otherwise, why has there been no effect for so long?
They still felt weakened, as if what they had ingested wasn’t an antidote at all.
Moreover, they’ve been striving here for so long, if what they swallowed wasn’t an antidote, wouldn’t that mean they were played?
With these thoughts, Ling Yu spoke with resolute clarity.
“After all, we’ve strived here for so long to obtain this antidote. If the ingested antidote has no effect,”
“Then it proves that all our efforts were in vain. We definitely cannot permit all our work to be for naught, so we await your explanation right here, right now.”
“If you’ve given us the wrong antidote, you could just bring out the real one since it’s all up to you.”
Ling Yu’s words were also giving Crescent an out.
Crescent, hearing this, said nothing, but slowly exhaled.
Her eyes, however, were fixated on Ling Yu with utmost seriousness for a moment before she began to clap.
The crisp sound of applause spread around.
“I didn’t expect you to be so clever, asking such accurate questions. Now I suppose I must answer you—I don’t know how long it will take to work.”
“But I can assure you that this truly is the antidote, and I have not tested it on anyone else, nor does anyone know how long it will take to revert to normal.”
“And haven’t I said before? When I made the antidote, I intentionally set the time longer to give the other party more punishment.”
Crescent spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly.
She then glanced at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan rather approved of Crescent speaking in this way.
He knew Ling Yu had his doubts.
But these words could indeed dispel Ling Yu’s doubts.
Hearing this, Ling Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Are you sure, as you say, there won’t be any errors? What if there are any mistakes? How can I be sure that what you’re saying is correct,”
“Or incorrect? If we wait for more time yet don’t get better, then what? Will you take responsibility for us?”
“If you would choose to take responsibility for us, then that gives us some reassurance, and we wouldn’t have to be so fearful.”
As he said this, Ling Yu’s face revealed a gentle smile.
It was unclear what he meant by that.
Crescent couldn’t quite figure it out.
Even Qin Yuan couldn’t quite figure it out.
Sometimes he found Ling Yu very clever.
And that made him even more cunning.
It was uncertain what Ling Yu was up to.
At that moment, Ling Yu abruptly turned his gaze onto Qin Yuan and began speaking with a smile.
“Big brother, I think you’ve been in there quite a while. Did you hear what Crescent said? Do you understand this antidote?”
“After all, we are still your underlings. If you haven’t understood this antidote, that would be quite irresponsible to us.”
“Being in there for so long, I don’t believe you were solely entertaining the little girl. You certainly must have done something for us.”
As Ling Yu spoke, his face shone with a radiant smile.
Qin Yuan already understood his meaning.
So, he was digging for information here.
The next moment, Qin Yuan, without any concealment, directly said,
“Ling Yu, since you’ve asked to this extent, then I will speak frankly,”
“When I went in, I saw Crescent asking for the law. I asked Crescent when the antidote would take effect.”
“Crescent also said she didn’t know, then chose to tell you all about it, so I didn’t interject, but it doesn’t mean I’m unaware of this matter.”
After saying this, Qin Yuan’s expression became slightly stern.
He observed Ling Yu carefully.
Noticing that Ling Yu was smiling.
“So that’s how it is, big brother. It seems you really do consider us. You truly deserve to be our good big brother. Seeing how much you care for us,”
“We really feel very happy, and there’s nothing amiss anymore, since you show such concern for us.”
“How could we possibly feel anything is amiss? If we still did, it would be somewhat conscienceless, and we are not such people.”
Ling Yu spoke earnestly.
A bright smile was also apparent on his face, after which he deliberately glanced at Qin Yuan again.
Qin Yuan knew he was smoothly stepping down.
So, he didn’t say anything further, nor did he emphasize.
At this time, Baldy started speaking with a laugh.
“Ling Yu, it seems Crescent wasn’t wrong in what she said, you really were playing a serious game of chess just now.”
