Upon seeing this scene.
A few of the officials who were sat inside the Phoenix Teahouse had come running out. They reached out to their grandsons and granddaughters who were hurt. One of them looked at Helian Wei Wei and said hastily: “Quick! Hurry up and give my granddaughter the antidote!”
Helian Wei Wei said coldly: “Why should I give you the antidote just because you have told me to?”
The official was stunned, he was so anxious that he behaved like a headless fly!
Upon seeing this, Helian Jiao Er’s expression changed. Bearing down her pain she said: “Since elder sister can cure the poison, why don’t you help? It is only a matter on convenience, how can elder sister be so inhumane?”
Helian Wei Wei sneered aloud: “Inhumane? Why should I give the antidote to this bunch of people who assisted you to ambush me?”
“You!” Helian Jiao Er’s face changed:” Elder sister, you can’t make things up. When did I ambush you? Just because I was the last one to come onto the stage?”
Helian Wei Wei squinted and smiled: “Whether you have done it or not, you know very well in your heart, and so do they.”
The official had seen everything clearly while he was stood upstairs in the teahouse earlier, he grabbed Helian Wei Wei’s sleeve tightly and said: “Miss Wei Wei, this old man is begging you, only you are able to cure the poison of the corroding bones in the whole world. Old man has only this girl left in his life, please have mercy, please have mercy!”
When the rest of the students had heard this, they all looked at Helian Wei Wei. The fear of death had caused them to show unprecedented panic. They regretted deeply to have listened to the scheme of Helian Jiao Er and Helian Mei earlier to join forces and launch an attack on Helian Wei Wei.
Most days, they could not stand this woman.
But today, whether they live or die, was all in the hands of this woman!
This was such a big matter, even the Retired Emperor could not be indifferent. All who were poisoned were the descendents of the imperial court officials, he had to come over.
Helian Wei Wei’s words were like a thorn in a bush. This girl was different from everyone else he had me. There was no such thing as imperial power in her eyes.
Therefore, even the Retired Emperor’s tone was soft: “Wei Wei, I will let you make the decision about their wrongdoings. However, if the corroding bone poison is not cured, the ones who suffer are their parents.”
Helian Wei Wei looked at the Retired Emperor, her tone was even: “I will not help those who look down on me, and conspire to ambush me. Back when my mother was alone, she had saved several households, but when she passed away, none of them even came to pay their respects!”
She glanced over at the people: “Not only that, they took the opportunity to step on me when they could!”
Those who Helian Wei Wei laid eyes on in fear. Three of the ten people were the descendants of the households back then.
Helian Wei Wei sneered: “This world has karma, revenge happens in due time.”
When the official heard the last sentence, he stepped back in regret of his past actions. But he was afraid to admit what happened for hearing it would affect his career.
When the three officials saw the pain in the grandsons and granddaughters faces, they felt like dying!
They were their heart and soul!
“Since you hate us so much, why, why did you give us the antidote earlier?” The official looked like he had aged ten years.
Helian Wei Wei walked over slowly, with a smile like a devil on her face: “Back then, didn’t you all treat me this way too?”
The officials were not stupid. Once they heard what Helian Wei Wei said, they knew what she meant.
She did this on purpose!
She saved them on purpose, so that they could witness their grandsons and granddaughters dying, and yet they were helpless!
“Woman, you are ruthless. But….” Yuan Ming smiled devilishly: “I like it.” The ruthless revenge was ingenious, his magic would follow suit, and before long, he would be able to recuperate his energy, that’s great!
Helian Wei Wei was not affected by the slightest, she lifted her hand and slowly tied up her sleeves: “I have said before since they want to join forces to teach me a lesson, of course I have to return the favour.”
“Miss Wei Wei, you can refuse to save those three, but the rest of us have never tried to frame Madam Helian.” One of the poisoned person tried to flatter Helian Wei Wei: “Sister Helian is open-minded, she would not involve the innocent.”
Helian Wei Wei looked at her and smiled suddenly: “Oh, so when all of you challenged me one after another continuously, that is not ambush?”
That person’s expression was stiff. In order to survive, she pointed at the injured Helian Mei and Helian Jiao Er next to her and said: “Both of them came up with this idea! We were instructed to follow it. Sister Helian, we really didn’t want to do it!”
“Ling Er, stop talking nonsense!” Helian Jiao Er’s scheme had been discovered and she panicked. However, just before everyone had started falling to the ground, she realised that there was something unusual going on. Now, because of this, she had thought of another scheme make sure Helian Wei Wei dies finally!
Helian Jiao Er pressed her own painful mouth and spoke analytically: “Ling Er, don’t be fooled. Doesn’t everyone find it odd? The bone-eroding poison has no cure, so why does elder sister have the antidote?”
When the officials heard the words, they knew it was not good. They wanted to stop Helian Jiao Er talking!
But Helian Wei Wei said: “Shut up, let her continue speaking.”
The officials were anxious but did not dare move. They were afraid that if they angered Helian Wei Wei further, then she would not save their grandchildren.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the official cautiously and he swallowed his words. “I have finished. Elder sister, don’t be so serious. I was just wondering why there are so many people in the martial qi competition, but yet you are the only one with the antidote for the bone-eroding poison.”
Everyone looked at Helian Wei Wei with suspicion.
With a cold smirk, Helian Wei Wei said: “You are trying to say that I administered the poison, that is why I have the antidote.”
“Elder sister!” Helian Jiao Er exclaimed: “You said it. I never meant that at all.”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: “Really? But unfortunately, I don’t have the antidote. It is only because of my cultivation of martial qi is special, hence I was able to resolve the poison. You can continue to try and malign me, but you are only wasting precious time to save these people.”
Once these words were spoken.
Everyone looked at Helian Jiao Er with condemning eyes.
Even that official was anxious: “Helian Jiao Er, can you please stop interfering, we have lives to save!”
Helian Jiao Er had never been showed such contempt, her face turned white, she bit her lips and replied: “I just found it odd.”
“Speaking of odd, I have something to ask you.”
