159 Nie Yin’s Obstruction
Nie Yin’s mind raced. He even thought of Nie Lin secretly plotting against him.
As Kong Rui watched Nie Yin’s constant change in expression, she suddenly felt amused.
What was this person thinking? It seemed like he had already imagined a bunch of conspiracies in the blink of an eye.
Kong Rui turned to look at Chao Bai and saw him staring at Nie Yin, as if thinking about something.
After a long while, Nie Yin seemed to have snapped back to reality and stared intently at the two people in front of him. “Hand over the medicinal pill you refined!”
Before Kong Rui could speak, Chao Bai had already said, “The pill hasn’t been refined yet. There’s no way to hand it over!”
Clearly not believing Chao Bai’s words, Nie Yin frowned. “The smell of this pill has already spread to my courtyard. How can it not be refined yet?!”
Nie Yin was worried that he hadn’t arrived in time. If the medicinal pill had already been sent to the palace, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the First Elder’s secret plan must be related to Wen Qiong. His expression darkened.
That woman actually pretended to have natural phoenix essence.
If not for the fact that he had heard the queen and the princess’ secret conversation, he probably would have been kept in the dark!
Since that woman was an imposter, why should he waste time on her?!
The engagement with the royal family was for the purpose of obtaining the power of the phoenix essence. Unexpectedly, he encountered a fake!
Nie Yin felt dismayed, and his expression was filled with disgust.
Chao Bai didn’t care about Nie Yin’s thoughts.
He snorted and said, “How can refining pills be completed so easily? If that’s the case, how can the alchemists in the five continents be so highly esteemed?!”
“This is the first time we’ve met someone as unreasonable as you!”
Nie Yin’s expression turned ugly when he heard Chao Bai’s words.
He frowned and kicked a guard standing at the side before walking into the room.
He looked around and saw that other than the pill furnace, there were also boxes filled with spiritual herbs and spirit stones.
After Nie Yin walked over and took a look, his eyes immediately widened. “Where are the spirit stones?”
“I’ve used all of them!” Chao Bai said matter-of-factly. “Those spirit stones are used to refine medicine. Naturally, spirit stones got used up during the process of refining medicine.”
Seeing that Chao Bai was lying without batting an eye, Kong Rui was speechless.
Nie Yin clearly didn’t believe Chao Bai’s words either.
He sized up the two of them and said, “I don’t care how many spirit stones you used to refine this pill. The pill can only belong to me!”
At this moment, a shout came from outside the door. “Bastard!”
Nie Yin’s body stiffened. Then, he turned around and saw Nie Lin rushing in angrily.
Nie Yin’s expression changed slightly before he cupped his hands at Nie Lin. “First Elder!”
Nie Lin snorted and his expression became even uglier. “Young Master, why are you here?”
Nie Yin straightened up and looked at Nie Lin as he said, “I heard that you invited alchemists to refine medicine in the residence. I specifically came to take a look to prevent you from being deceived by those charlatans!”
“I wonder if you’re feeling unwell or…” Nie Yin probed.
Nie Lin’s expression didn’t change, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Other than his two trusted aides, no one else in the Nie family knew that he had been poisoned.
He didn’t want to alarm others, let alone embarrass himself!
He had actually fallen into a woman’s trap and couldn’t get rid of this poison even after so many years!
Most importantly, this poison actually silently entered his bones and marrow. After so many years, his body seemed to have been sucked dry!
