Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"Why?" Lu Ke'er couldn't understand. "You know very well that if you don't accept the mission, you won't get the antidote and you will die sooner or later."

Chi Li remained silent.

Lu Ke'er guessed: "Is it because you don't want to kill that person?"

Chi Li suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Keer knew that she guessed right.

"Is this person an acquaintance or friend of yours?" she asked again.

Chili shook his head.

Lu Ke'er lost her patience: "Just tell me directly, so that I can know the truth, right? After all, I saved your life now. You owe me a life, so it's not too much for me to know some of your secrets, right?"

Chi Li didn't want to say it, but then he thought that Lu Ke'er's words made sense.

He refused to accept the mission of Soul Seeker Tower and did not follow orders. From his actions, he had actually betrayed Soul Seeker Tower. Soul Seeker Tower never showed mercy to betrayers and often killed them all. If Soul Seeker Tower knew that this girl saved her, they would definitely regard her as an enemy of Soul Seeker Tower.

Now, their fates are tied together.

For her safety, he also had to tell her some things.

"The host asked me to assassinate the crown prince of Qi State, but I did not carry out this mission." Chi Li replied.

Lu Ke'er was stunned.

"Crown Prince? God, is your host mentally ill? Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials, and the people of Jianghu have rarely participated in the court and officialdom struggles, let alone assassinating the royal family." Lu Ke'er pondered, "If there is no huge benefit, your host will not do this. If it is found out, it will be an enemy of the whole country."

"This is also what I find strange." Chi Li is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very sober and shrewd most of the time. "I always feel that Soul-Seizing Tower is related to a certain force in the imperial court. I just don't know which force it is."

"Which side? It's actually easy to guess." Lu Ke'er blinked, "Who in the current Qi Kingdom wants the Crown Prince to die the most?"

Chi Li replied: "Of course it is King Chen."

"Then I'm sure that your building owner must have reached some kind of agreement with King Chen." Lu Ke'er said, "Soul-Seeking Building helped King Chen eliminate dissidents, and King Chen must have promised Soul-Seeking Building some conditions."

Chi Li was thoughtful.

"Alas, I am not interested in these intrigues and life-and-death struggles. Speaking of which, this crown prince has nothing to do with you, so why don't you kill him?"

"If he is killed, won't the world be in chaos?"

Lu Ke'er immediately looked at Chi Li with a curious look: "I really can't believe it. A killer like you actually cares about the world?"

Chi Li lowered his eyes in surprise. After a long pause, he replied, "Killers also have principles."

"That's right." Lu Ke'er nodded approvingly. "As a human being, you must have a bottom line. Although you are a killer, you don't want to kill people. When faced with a small profit and a greater good, you chose the greater good. Good people are rewarded, and now you have met me. Don't worry, I can cure the poison in you."

Chi Li could hardly believe his ears. He could not hide his excitement: "Girl, are you... are you telling the truth?"

"My last name is Lu, Lu Ke'er. You can call me Ke'er." Lu Ke'er said with a smile, "I'm not lying to you. As long as you cooperate with my treatment, the poison in your body will be eliminated in three months."

Chi Li looked at her in a daze.

"What? You still don't believe it?" Lu Ke'er was a little surprised by his reaction.

Chi Li blinked, suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, and said hoarsely: "No, it's because it's too surprising. You know what? If it weren't for this poison, I wouldn't have sold my life for the Soul-Seizing Tower for five whole years."

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Lu Ke'er: "Miss Lu, can I...can I call you Ke'er?"

"of course."

"Ke'er, there are many assassins like me who have been poisoned in this building. Can you... give them the antidote? No, not give, but sell it to them. You can sell it to them at any price."

Lu Ke'er said with some embarrassment: "My method of detoxification is not an antidote, but acupuncture. If they are willing to come to me for treatment, I will naturally not refuse."

Lu Ke'er was actually a person who was very afraid of trouble. However, Chi Li had saved her, so she couldn't refuse his request.

She could see that this young killer had a cold exterior but a warm heart. She couldn't say no.

"Okay, these are things for the future. For now, you should rest well at my house. Once the toxins are eliminated, you can make plans." Lu Ke'er felt his pulse and found that he was still very weak. She told him to have a good rest and left the room.

After a while, Qiuyu brought in Chili's food.

"Young man, this is the nourishing soup that the young lady specially asked the kitchen to cook. It contains several kinds of medicinal herbs that can help you recover your vitality."

"Thank you girl."

"My name is Qiuyu, please call me by my name." Qiuyu said with a smile, "Thanks to you for saving me last night, the young lady and I are very grateful. However, if you see my master and mistress, or the young master, please do not mention the young lady's distress in front of them. The young lady specifically asked me to remind you, just say that you and the young lady met by chance on the road, so that the master and mistress will not worry about the young lady."

Chi Li nodded: "Okay, Ke'er is worried. Miss Qiuyu, please help me up so I can go and meet Ke'er's parents."

Qiu Yu was slightly startled when she heard Chi Li calling her by her name. But seeing that he looked calm and not frivolous at all, she secretly thought that she was judging others by her own standards. But it was absolutely impossible to help him get up from bed at this time.

"Young man, the lady has repeatedly emphasized that you cannot get out of bed these few days and must rest well. When you recover some strength, she will start to treat you. When you are better, it will not be too late to see my master and mistress."

After hearing this, Chi Li had no choice but to give up.

The nourishing soup was fragrant and delicious. After Chi Li took the first sip, he couldn't stop. In a blink of an eye, he finished the whole bowl of soup.

After Qiuyu took the bowl away, he suddenly felt sleepy again and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for more than three hours.

When Chi Li woke up again, night had fallen and the lights were on.

There was no light in the room, so it was very dim. He opened his eyes, but before he could adjust to the darkness, he suddenly froze.

The killer's keen perception made him realize that there was another person in the house besides him!

He secretly reached into his arms...

"Chi Li, I advise you not to move." Suddenly, a clear and deep male voice sounded, shocking him.

His hands froze in front of his chest.

I……

In this world, the only person who would call himself that was the Crown Prince, whom he had followed for several months and had several opportunities to assassinate but never wanted to kill.

Why is he here?

Before I could think about it, the voice sounded again: "I came here to remind you that no matter what your purpose is in saving Ke'er, don't hurt anyone in the Lu family."
