"Come here, drag this little loser down and beat him with fifteen army sticks!"
Nalan Jie stood at the top, waved his hand and shouted lowly.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, approaching me step by step. They were probably the guards standing outside the door.
I lowered my head and bared my teeth for a while, wanting to ask for mercy. But since what I just said, how could I open my mouth?
I gritted my teeth and could only lower my head as if I was admitting my mistake and willing to be beaten and punished.
Nalan Yiling, who was standing nearby, exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Old man, Ye Gege, Ye Gege knows he is wrong, so please don't hit him."
"Yi Ling, get out of the way!"
Nalan Dong, who Ikkaku was identifying "Mystic Dew Detoxification Pill", raised his head and cursed angrily.
Azure Lotus Core Flame Oh, Azure Lotus Core Flame, this is his opportunity to be promoted to Sixth-Rank Alchemist!
As a result, someone snatched it away not even half a day after I got it!
Can he not be angry?
He glared at me and shouted, "It's best if you kill this useless little piece of trash! If it were me, I would have to protect Azure Lotus Core Flame even if it meant death!"
Nalan Tie on the side couldn't help but hum, he is my grandfather. He looked at Nalan Dong and said sarcastically:
"Just you? Fortunately, you are Fifth-Rank Alchemist. You are really old enough to live like a dog!"
"You were poisoned and you didn't even notice it. You ate the poison in big gulps, causing us to be poisoned along with you!"
Nalan Dong's complexion alternated between red and white. This was probably a stain that he would never be able to wash away.
Dangdang Fifth-Rank Alchemist, he was actually poisoned! And he didn't notice it after so long!
He was suddenly embarrassed to speak anymore, lowered his head slumped, and once again appraised the "Mystic Dew Detoxification Pill" in his hand.
Nalan Jie glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, waved his hand again, and shouted, "Pull it down."
The two guards behind me responded, one on the left and one on the right reaching under my armpits, hooking my shoulders and dragging me away.
Nalan Yiling has been pampered since she was a child and has never seen blood. She did not go to the battle with Medusa yesterday, but stayed with Stone Desert City.
Seeing that I was about to be beaten with a military stick, I was so frightened that I covered my eyes with my hands, not daring to look. But the girl couldn't help but open her eyes, looked through her fingers, and whispered:
"Ye Gege, you have to hold on, hitting me with a military stick... it won't hurt."
"Also, after you finish beating the military stick, Yi Ling will come to treat you."
The corners of my mouth twitched hard, not knowing what to say. After a while, I nodded and said:
"Good sister..."
The next moment, I was dragged out of the lobby. There were several steps outside the lobby. Unfortunately, the two guards who pulled me had no intention of letting me go down by myself. It was difficult for me to struggle. So I was dragged down the steps by the two men. My body was shaking for a while. It was not painful, but it was extremely embarrassing.
When we got to the open space under the hall, there was no cross dedicated to executions, so two guards held me up one on the left and the other on the right.
Soon, a young man in black clothes and a black hat came towards me.
My eyelids couldn't help but twitch. The black clothes and black hat, this outfit undoubtedly showed that the young man, who was only twenty-four or five years old, belonged to Punishment Elder.
The young man's steps seemed to have been measured, and the length of each step was exactly the same.
He walked up to me in a strange way, glanced at me, then picked up a booklet held in his left rib, and read expressionlessly:
"Nalan Ye, the Azure Lotus Core Flame that was in charge of safekeeping last night was robbed, which was due to dereliction of duty. According to the previous order of Old Clan Leader, I will give you fifteen military sticks. Now I will execute it."
After reading, he put the booklet under his left rib again, turned it over with his right hand, took out a dark military stick from Ring of Holding, and walked around behind me.
I trembled all over, and cold sweat broke out on my back, but I didn't dare to say anything.
This time I really didn't dare to say anything. Punishment Elder's subordinates are the most cold-blooded and ruthless. I asked for mercy or used force to coerce them, but they didn't pay attention at all.
If you talk too much and annoy them, they will hit you harder.
I cursed secretly, this time I really asked for a beating!
"Bang!"
A military stick suddenly hit me, causing a sudden pain in my back. My muscles all over my body subconsciously tightened. I gritted my teeth to keep from shouting.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
The young man in black was like a machine, and the distance between each two sticks was almost the same. Bang bang bang, it seemed like he was beating a war drum - I was the drum being beaten.
I gritted my teeth tightly and didn't dare to scream. But the severe pain in my back kept coming, and my entire forehead, cheeks, and neck were soaked in cold sweat.
Faintly, I even smelled a hint of blood, and my back must have been bleeding!
Simply fifteen army sticks came and went quickly, and the fight was over in one go.
The young man in black took out a rag, wiped off the blood on the military stick, and put it into Ring of Holding. Then without saying a word, he walked away meticulously.
I gasped for air, my eyes were bloodshot, and I stared at him. None of these black-clothed men under Punishment Elder is really good!
No wonder it is notorious among the Nalan Family!
It's the same two guards. After the execution, they will drag me back to the lobby to resume my life.
The clay figurine still has three fires, let alone me?
"Let go, this young master will go by himself!"
I broke away from the two of them, endured the severe pain in my back, and struggled step by step toward the lobby. The two guards did not object and followed me.
I stumbled up the steps, staggered on the wooden pillars and walked into the lobby. I saw Nalan Dong said in a deep voice:
"First Brother, I have identified this Medicinal Pill. It is indeed a Poison Pill."
Nalan Tie raised his brows and asked, "Is this Medicinal Pill really not Poison Pill? You have even been poisoned, how can you really make no mistakes in the identification?"
"I, I'm just a weakling who fell into the trap!"
When this scandal was mentioned again, Nalan Dong raised his beard angrily, stared at Nalan Tie and said angrily:
"Everyone has the same pharmacology, I can't even tell whether Medicinal Pill is Poison Pill or Antidote Pill!"
Nalan Jie waved his hand, stopped Nalan Tie, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, since Nalan Dong said this is to get rid of Poison Pill, then it is to get rid of Poison Pill."
He took the Mystic Dew Detoxification Pill, turned his head to look at me, and asked, "Have you finished playing?"
Nalan Yiling hurried over to help me, looked at my back, and exclaimed, "Ye Gege, you are bleeding profusely!"
"It's okay."
I gritted my teeth and waved my hand, looked at Nalan Jie, and said in a deep voice, "Old man, the fight is over."
Nalan Jie nodded without saying much. He looked down at Seventh-Rank Pill in his hand, sighed and said:
"If Azure Lotus Core Flame is lost, just throw it away. The other party has three Dou Emperor, and we Nalan Family can't get it back."
"The other party simply left a Medicinal Pill. I can finally get rid of the poison, and half of the purpose of this trip has been accomplished."
"It's just that the undercurrent here is too dangerous. We old guys have to stay here and beware of possible revenge from the Snake-People Tribe; you little guys... set off back to Gama City this afternoon."
