Chapter 28 – Upheaval (7)
“Xiao Che! What do you mean by that?” The First Elder Xiao Li suddenly bellowed: “Don’t tellthat Clan Master had stolen the Profound Opening Powder froxi! You’re the reason why Xiao Lingxi had stolen the Profound Opening Powder If you keep blabbering such nonsense, be careful or else even you will get punished together if you don’t step down!”
“Don’t be agitated, First Elder” Xiao Che shook his head as he laughed, appearing hare to even dare question Clan Master, I’ out the suspicions in my heart, and I believe, that most of us here have the same question too Many of us here understand Clan Master’s nature and must be puzzled as to why Clan Master had handled the situation that way Of course Clan Master is innocent He couldn’t have done this kind of low and dirty thing that even the world would despise I’ht, Clan Master”
(TL: “low and dirty” was interpreted fros”)
The people of Xiao Clan and the nobles of Floating Cloud City all stared at him surreptitiously… The Xiao Che they kneas a weak and ti into contact with outsiders However, not only was he able to be speak frankly under the watchful eyes of the crowd in this tense ate when the First Elder had shouted at him… This Xiao Che and the Xiao Che they knew seemed to be two fundamentally different people
“Low and dirty that even the world would despise” These feords caused Xiao Yunhai’s face to cramp momentarily He raised his head to look at Xiao Che, faintly sitated First Elder, it’s normal for Xiao Che to question this way and just like he said, many of our friends here should have the same question as well Actually, when I received the Profound Opening Powder fro Master Xiao yesterday, I indeed had prepared to keep it by rade medicine froher the grade of the medicine, the easier it is for the effects to dissipate In the case of this treasure elixir, even if the effect was to dissipate by a bit, it would still be a great loss If I were to carry it with y so even though it is protected by the Black Profound Ebony box, its effects will still dissipate easily That’s the reason why I placed it inside the infirmary After all, in the infirathered over the years, resulting in plenty of ‘y’, the elixir’s energy will not dissipate that easily… That is the reason”
“Another reason is that we of the Xiao Clan have always been serious about abiding to the law I never would have expected a ‘domestic thief’ to appear, or even think that she would have the audacity to steal the iht… But no matter the reason, it is nonetheless ards to this, I can’t escape that responsibility I won’t co Master Xiao also dehed heavily after he finished speaking
Xiao Yunhai explanation was completely perfect The First Elder suddenly yelled once more: “Xiao Che! Did you hear that clearly? Clan Master had left the Profound Opening Powder in the infirmary was because of thisPowder’s potency! Who would have thought a house thief would appear! What else do you have to say?”
“Oh, oh! So that’s it!” Xiao Che nodded his head, as if he was pleased with Xiao Yunhai explanation: “To even know the existence of ‘eable Then, the second question that I wanted to ask is coincidentally related with this ‘y’”
Xiao Che narrowed his eyes and faintly laughed as he continued: “Regarding ‘y’, our Xiao Clan’s infirmary has accumulated a variety of herbs over the years and they are indeed ahest quantity herb we have in our infiry’s odor should be a sweet fishy one belonging to that of the ‘Thin Net Grass’”
“Clan Master also knows that the box containing the Profound Opening Powder is made froood at protecting the effects of elixirs fro, then does Clan Master know the reason why Black Profound Ebony can protect the effects of elixirs… Well, in fact, the reason is pretty si particle absorption ability, so when the s coet firmly absorbed and will be difficult to diffuse After the surface has absorbed enough until full capacity, the medicinal force still would be unable to scatter even if it wanted to I believe that anyone here with a bit of e should understand this theory”
Quite a number of people present nodded their heads silently
“Then, if the Black Profound Ebony Box that contained the Profound Opening Powder had been placed in the infirmary for a certain period of tie quantity of ‘ to the nature of Black Profound Ebony, it absorbs fast but diffuses slowly, so even if it was removed from the infiry’ even after two to three days… the sweet fishy smell of the Thin Net Grass…”
Once these words were said, Xiao Yunhai cohtly
Xiao Che had calculated accurately that Xiao Yunhai would not really have placed the Profound Opening Powder in the infir Powder had really been stolen, he would have cried his eyes out… And Xiao Yunhai indeed did not place the Profound Opening Powder in the infirmary As for the infirmary doctor, Xiao Gu, he had already been informed about this beforehand, and under the Xiao Sect’s deterrence, Xiao Gu did not dare to refuse
“I wonder if Clan Master dares to bring the box over, and let us smell to check whether or not the odor that should be there, is actually on the box?” Xiao Che said as he chuckled
