Chapter 691: Jin Banhua Teases Liu Wumei

Although it was Jin Banhua who made the teasing remarks, the women all looked at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang frantically rubbed his nose.

Facing Jin Banhua's provocative gaze and the expectant eyes of the women, Chu Liuxiang sighed and said, "Once the matters at the Divine Water Palace are settled, I'll find your White Jade Beauty. My ship can't do without Rongrong and the others."

Su Rongrong, Li Hongxian, and Song Tiance all smiled sweetly.

Jin Banhua pouted, "Even now, you still can't give a straightforward answer. I think you're just being forced into it, deliberately putting off the issue..."

Jin Banhua pulled away the white, delicate hand Song Tiance had used to cover her mouth. "What are you doing?"

Song Tiance scolded, "Your mouth is just too hateful. Can't you keep it shut for once?"

Jin Banhua blinked. "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."

Everyone burst into laughter. Su Rongrong smiled and said, "When talking to Brother Jin, you can't be too subtle, or you'll end up getting frustrated."

Li Yulan and Liu Wumei nodded in agreement, having experienced this in Jinling.

Hu Tiefen stepped forward and put an arm around Jin Banhua's shoulder, consoling her, "But as long as you just drink and don't talk, you're still great company!"

Jin Banhua gave Hu Tiefen a sidelong glance. "Even if drinking is fun, you're not allowed to open your mouth and start boasting or joking. I didn't realize you were even more ruthless than they are!"

Hu Tiefen was speechless.

Seeing the conversation veering off track, Chu Liuxiang brought it back. "We came to see Brother Jin because of the Divine Water Palace."

Jin Banhua raised an eyebrow. "You're going to the Divine Water Palace?"

"Exactly," Chu Liuxiang nodded. "A few months ago, Wuhua stole the Divine Water from the Divine Water Palace, but the disciples there mistakenly thought I was the thief. I've just never bothered to explain it."

Song Tiance comforted Liu Wumei, "As soon as Brother Chu arrives at the Divine Water Palace, he'll get the antidote for you. Don't worry."

Li Hongxian also smiled. "The path to the Divine Water Palace through the Bodhi Nunnery is known only to you. We need you to guide us."

Li Yulan and Liu Wumei exchanged a wry smile.

Of course, they knew Chu Liuxiang was no ordinary man, but the Water Mother Yin Ji was the most peculiar person in the world. She never threatened others, but she also didn't tolerate being threatened.

Chu Liuxiang's martial arts were formidable, and they would never dare to ask anyone to harm him. But facing the Divine Water Palace and the Water Mother Yin Ji...

Even if they gathered the likes of Shuai Yifan, Xiao Shi, Ling Feige, Daozhang Tieshan, Huang Luzhi, and his friend, as well as the couple Du Yu and Du Yu, entering the Divine Water Palace would still mean certain death.

No man had ever come out of the Divine Water Palace alive. Would Chu Liuxiang be the exception?

"Actually, I've always been very curious how Senior Huang knew the way to enter the Divine Water Palace," Su Rongrong said, puzzled. "From the way he kept looking at his friend yesterday, it seems like his friend told him."

"But his friend is clearly a man," Li Hongxian added. "How could a man know the secrets of the Divine Water Palace?"

Hu Tiefen nodded solemnly. "That makes sense. Although some people in the martial world compare the Great Desert Stone Guanyin and the Water Mother Yin Ji, saying that no man who sees them can survive, they are actually very different.

The Stone Guanyin actually likes men, but her appetite for them is just too great. The Water Mother Yin Ji, on the other hand, truly hates men. No man who has entered the Divine Water Palace has ever come out alive."

"But Senior Huang's words weren't false. I really did see the Water Mother Yin Ji," Liu Wumei said.

"Of course, we don't doubt Senior Huang. I'm just skeptical about the other person," Su Rongrong said. "I could tell that person was wearing a very intricate mask, but I couldn't figure out their true identity."

Chu Liuxiang said seriously, "If Senior Huang doesn't want to say, there must be a reason and a difficulty. We shouldn't pry into his or his friend's privacy."

Lucas Brooks looked at Justin Pembly. "Justin, you must already know that we now have two paths to enter the Sacred Spring Manor."

Justin Pembly nodded. "One is known by Miss Sophia, and the other by Lady Leah."

Lucas Brooks nodded again. "I plan to take Alex Lee and Rachel on one path, while Ethan Lee and his wife take Emily, Diana, and Ethan Black on the other. However, the dangers of the Oakwood Convent are unknown. Could you accompany me, Justin?"

Justin Pembly nodded understandingly, then shook his head. "I can understand why you're going to the Sacred Spring Manor, but why do Ethan Lee and his wife need to go?"

"Of course, to get the antidote from Water Mother Evelyn Jones!" Diana said.

"But why didn't you ask me?" Justin Pembly pointed to himself. "In the capital, I've had many teachers and learned many skills. Whether it's martial arts, weapons, mechanical engineering, or even medicine, I've dabbled in all of them."

"I was the one who cured Ethan Lee's energy imbalance. Why didn't you ask if I could cure Lady Leah's poisoning?" Justin Pembly asked curiously.

Everyone was speechless.

Although Justin Pembly had killed Serenity Grey and saved Ethan Lee, he still gave off the impression of a carefree and arrogant young noble from the capital. When it came to serious matters, no one thought of him.

Even Lucas Brooks, who had just praised Justin Pembly's top-notch internal skills and medical knowledge the day before, hadn't thought of it. He was still subconsciously planning to go to Water Mother Evelyn Jones to get the antidote for Leah Mitchell.

"Come, let me take a look!" Justin Pembly sat in the pavilion and beckoned to Leah Mitchell.

Leah Mitchell sat opposite Justin Pembly and extended her hand, smiling bitterly. "Serenity Grey was an expert in poisons. She not only mastered the poisons of the Eastern Region but also learned some Western Territory poisoning methods after entering the desert, making her even more skilled.

"She planted poppies and other toxic herbs in the secret valley of the desert, creating a variety of poisons. Some are lethal, some can control the mind, and of course, the one that causes me such unbearable pain."

Justin Pembly nodded and began to feel Leah Mitchell's pulse.

He checked her right hand, then her left, shaking his head and making sounds of disapproval.

"The poison you have is designed to cause you unbearable pain, but the poppy poison has already corroded your internal organs," Justin Pembly said, smacking his lips. "If not for your exceptional internal strength, you would have been bedridden long ago."

Leah Mitchell's eyes lit up, and Ethan Lee quickly asked, "Can you identify the poison that Leah has taken?"

Leah Mitchell hadn't initially wanted to take poppies, but after coming to the Eastern Region and consulting many famous doctors, none of them could even determine if she was poisoned, let alone help her.

"The poison is very well hidden," Justin Pembly said seriously. "It's not lethal and isn't hard to cure, but it sacrifices those traits for its stealthiness, making it extremely difficult for others to detect."

"Exactly!" Ethan Lee nodded vigorously. "Brother Justin, you are a genius. The poison is indeed very hidden. I've consulted 'Golden Needle Saves Lives' Dr. Thompson and 'One Finger Determines Life and Death' Dr. Lee, and even they couldn't identify the poison Leah has taken."

"But for me, it's a minor issue. Once I find it, it's easy to cure."

Justin Pembly raised his eyebrows and smiled. "A single acupuncture session and a dose of medicine should do it. Then, control Lady Leah's intake of poppies to overcome the addiction and pain, and with proper rest, she'll be fine."

"Really!?" Ethan Lee and Leah Mitchell were both surprised and delighted.

"Of course!" Justin Pembly puffed out his chest, grinning proudly. "Since Serenity Grey couldn't defeat me, it's only natural that her medical and poisoning skills are no match for mine. Isn't that a reasonable conclusion?"
