Chapter 32: Fire Poison (2)
Si Ye's grim expression turned to vigilance once he knew Ye Qingtang's identity.
“Si Bai, when did you meet them?” Si Ye's tone of voice became forbidding as well.
Being the oldest among his siblings, he must have experienced the grief of their mother's unnatural death and hated Ye's household, which was rumored to be the culprit.
"We don't welcome any members of the Ye family." Si Ye confirmed.
Si Bai was just about to make an explanation when Old Master Si interrupted: “Si Ye, don't be rude. He's our guest, here to provide care for Si Bai.”
Si Ye was stunned for a moment before he looked once more, at the petite figure of Ye Qingtang.
“Providing treatment? At his age?”
Old Master Si furrowed his brows. In fact, he was still hard to believe that he was indeed capable of providing treatment for Si Bai.
“Don't bother with that. We have more pressing issues. ” With that said, Old Master Si turned his attention to Ye Qingtang.
"Miss Ye, you said, You know how to suppress that Venom Fire?"
Si Ye grimaced at Old Master Si's attitude. He could not accept the fact that his grandfather, who had all this time hated the Ye household, would allow one of their women to provide care for Si Bai, giving him free access to their place.
Ye Qingtang nodded and repeated: “Ya. One of the things I brought today happened to be useful. ”
"Are you referring to Ifrit's scales?" Si Bai caught his word quickly as he was reminded of his purchase from the Treasure Pavilion.
"Yes." Yeah." Ye Qingtang confirmed his conjecture.
Everyone from the Si household had a strange expression on their faces once he made that claim.
Si Ye frowned deeply while he tried his best to curb his displeasure: “Nona Ye, I don't know how you managed to convince my grandfather to allow you to provide treatment. But, if you are thinking of suppressing the poison with the scales of Ifrit, I am afraid there are people who know that it is impossible.”
Moreover, there was hardly anyone who could scratch the scales, which was a testament to its almost indestructible composition. Therefore, grinding it into powder was almost impossible.
Si Ye's statement, more or less, represented everyone's thoughts. Even Old Master Si looked skeptical at the moment.
Ye Qingtang watched their reactions and giggled to himself.
“Because there is no other way, why not try it?”
Si Ye furrowed his brows as he could not refute his words.
Old Master Si took a deep breath before he conveyed his decision: "We'll let Miss Ye give it a try."
"Grandfather! Are you sure it's wise?” Si Ye clearly voiced his objection.
“Sister, Miss Ye is right. Other than that Fire Suppressing Pill, there was no other way. We should try every possible alternative, for Si Qiong.”'s sake Si Bai tried to persuade him as well.
Si Ye's face was clouded as he looked at Ye Qingtang in confusion and impressiveness.
"Miss Ye, it's up to you now." Old Master Si stated in a heavy tone.
Ye Qingtang nodded with confidence, "I will appreciate if I can get a private room, for my preparation."
"certain." Old Master Si agreed to his request without hesitation, and a room was ready for him in an instant.
Ye Qingtang locked himself in the room as he began his preparations.
Si Ye and Si Bai stood guard outside the room. While Si Ye peered at the tightly shut doors, with his eyebrows still knit, he voiced his disapproval: "This is too ridiculous."
Seriate....
