609: Not Ill

Not Ill

Mr. Li wasn't interested in these messy relationships. He only said, "Ma Ji is refining the Phoenix Blood. That woman you mentioned probably has the Tong Family's bloodline. They probably thought everyone with that bloodline would have Phoenix Blood, so Ma Ji experimented on her. I doubt she is still human at all. In any case, Ma Ji made some headways with that woman. She managed to poison Jing Tian with some kind of lesser Phoenix Blood."2

"Why would the Phoenix Blood be poisonous?" I didn't understand.

"There are two sides to everything. Medicine and poison are two sides of the same coin. It depends on how you use it. Tong Hui and Ma Ji used your blood to develop immortality medicine, but at the same time, they used your blood to create a unique poison to control others. These are to achieve greater benefits. If you ask me, I don't think Tong Hui has the Tong Family's genetic disease." Mr. Li said firmly.

I was stunned. "What did you say?

"No, it's impossible. If he didn't have the disease, why would he act like this? He caused the deaths of my parents to get my blood."

Mr. Li looked at me sympathetically. He said affirmatively, "I really don't think he's sick. I've asked Lu Heng about Tong Hui's condition. It doesn't sound like he has the Tong Family's hereditary illness. Plus, if he has that illness, he doesn't need to process, refine or study your blood. He can drink it directly. There's no need to torture you."

I couldn't help but tremble when I thought of Ma Ji's thick medicine needle.

Mr. Li said affirmatively, "They were using your body to develop medicine and poison. They have even greater ambitions. The woman called Tong Yan poisoned Jing Tian to lure you out. It was a trap. From then on, step by step, they were putting a trap for you. Their goal is the Phoenix Blood from the start. Everyone else is collateral damage."

I tried my best to digest his words and tried my best to calm down the anger in my heart. I felt that every breath I took was filled with fire.

"My father and mother wanted to exchange all their wealth for him to let me go. It looks like the value of Phoenix Blood is unlimited. For my blood, he doesn't even care about family ties anymore!"

Mr. Li shook his head and sighed. "Greed is the source of all sins. Girl, even family ties are built on benefits. They can be betrayed if the outside benefits are better. Do you understand?"

I was speechless.

What Mr. Li said made sense.

I gathered my spirit. "Mr. Li, is there still anything inside my body that belongs to Ma Ji? Can she still sense me?"

Mr. Li was complacent. "That's absolutely impossible. What she can sense are the two worms I'm raising. It's a pity that I have to raise them using Phoenix Blood."

I comforted him. "It's alright. I'll eat more to have a healthy body." I changed the topic. "But I want you to use those two little things to lure Ma Ji over."

Mr. Li stared at me.

I looked at him calmly. "The others don't need to know I have regained my memory. Other than my little uncle, Mai Qi, Jing Ni, the others don't need to know. Let Ma Ji come."

Mr. Li said anxiously, "Ma Ji is mine. You guys promised me!"

I smiled. "Don't worry. I'll give her to you. However, she must return what she owes me first."
