What is the relationship between Chapter 187?
After hearing Wen Jin's words, Xia Zhilan's heart immediately calmed down.
He nodded and continued, "I had a brother who disappeared one day a hundred years ago."
"My brother has a talent for business. I always thought that we would live like this. He would be responsible for supporting the future business of the Xia family auction house, and I would just focus on learning alchemy."
"But now you can see that I am the one who took over the Xia family auction house, and my brother has disappeared from the entire Xia family."
"I asked my parents about it, but they were very secretive about it. They just said that my brother was seriously ill and died."
"But my brother obviously only has an ordinary eye disease! And even though my brother is blind, it has never affected any of the accounts he calculated for the auction house! His spiritual power covers the account books, and each calculation is much clearer than I can now!"
When Xia Zhilan talked about his brother, there was unconscious pride in his tone. The slightly nervous mood just now was immediately swept away, and he became talkative.
"What color are your brother's eyes?"
After listening to him, Wen Jin thought about it and asked again.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zhilan suddenly became excited: "You have seen my brother, right?"
He looked at everyone present anxiously and expectantly. Yang Zheng immediately straightened up and shook her head: She has never seen it.
Lu Qingzhi then turned her gaze towards Wen Jin: "Don't be anxious, listen to what we have to say first."
Her tone was light, but it had the ability to quickly soothe emotions.
Xia Zhilan immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly looked at Wen Jin to apologize: "Sorry, I was too excited, it was really because of Wudang--"
As he spoke, he suddenly got stuck, and when he thought about what he had said, he became nervous again.
He didn't know where these people came from or where they were going. They were just together because of a business. He could talk about his brother's affairs, but he could never talk about the affairs of Kongtong Valley.
Wen Jin seemed not to notice this, and did not ask Xia Zhilan about it. He just continued with what happened just now: "I'm not sure, but we did meet a mysterious boss. He has shallow pupils like you, and like your brother, he can't see."
"Where is my brother now? Is he okay?"
"I met him over a month ago. If you're asking about that time, he seemed pretty good."
Wen Jin thought about it carefully and replied.
Hearing this, Xia Zhilan suddenly leaned back as if a heavy burden had been lifted and let out a breath.
Seeing this, several people looked at each other: It seems that their guess was correct, Wudang Fairy Mountain has been using this matter to threaten Xia Zhilan.
Well, this matter has now become a bargaining chip in their hands.
Just at this moment, Ji Yunmiao had already examined Xia Zhilan's body, with a little confusion between his brows.
"You are poisoned."
Ji Yunmiao's words were concise and to the point, and he directly dropped this bombshell on Xia Zhilan, who had just relaxed.
"Ah?" Xia Zhilan's body suddenly stiffened: "Why don't I know?"
"Did you feel this barrier when you were refining pills in the early years?"
Ji Yunmiao continued to ask.
Hearing this, Xia Zhilan turned his head and thought about it for a while. When he looked over again, there was a pain in his eyes that could not be erased.
"I... didn't have that at first, otherwise I wouldn't have aspired to become a top-notch high-level alchemist..."
Ji Yunmiao nodded when he heard this: "That's right, someone gave you some poison that devours your spiritual power, and the method was quite clever."
"Is there any way to do this?"
Xia Zhilan leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Ji Yunmiao who was sitting across the table, and asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Ji Yunmiao looked at him with a strange look in his eyes: "I didn't say it can't be cured."
"After the pill is refined, just take it for a while and you'll be fine." As he spoke, he moved a little further away from the table, as if he couldn't stand such an overly enthusiastic person.
"That's good, that's good..." Xia Zhilan murmured.
He breathed a sigh of relief again, his body relaxing a little, but in his mind he was wondering who had poisoned him.
"But if you want to get the medicine, Jin has some questions for you."
After a while, Ji Yunmiao stopped writing the prescription and suddenly looked up.
At this moment, Xia Zhilan suddenly became nervous again, and he began to complain in his heart: Why do they have to let him breathe once in a while? Are they afraid that he will suffocate to death?
"Please tell me what you want to say. I will tell you everything I know."
Xia Zhilan looked at Wen Jin and said.
After all, he was asking for help from others now, so it wouldn't be excessive to ask a few more questions. Moreover, these people also brought news about his brother, so it would be good to ask a few more questions so that he could communicate more about his brother's situation.
Xia Zhilan was building up his confidence in his mind, while at the same time listening attentively to Wen Jin's questions.
However, he didn't expect that after Wen Jin asked this question, he suddenly didn't even want the pills anymore.
"What is the current relationship between the divided Kongtong Valley and Wudang Immortal Mountain?"
The shadow on Wen Jin's face shifted in the candlelight as the flame flickered. He looked the same as before, and his tone was the same, but Xia Zhilan knew at this moment that his heart seemed to have started to miss beats.
Four pairs of eyes were looking at him.
"Or ask again, what is the relationship between Wudang Immortal Mountain, the Xia family, and the Auction House?"
"What is the relationship between Kongtong Valley and the Xia family?"
