Chapter 2390: Chapter 2390: Anger
They are in their prime, full of energy, how could they die so easily? Xuexue was a bit skeptical: "Oh? Elder, what makes you say that?"
The Elder explained: "They’ve been poisoned by me, they won’t last a few days before they die."
Xuexue: "Really?"
The Elder: "Of course, why do you think they obediently went outside to find the treasured sword for me? It’s because they were poisoned by me."
The Elder’s explanation did seem to make sense.
At this moment, the two brothers, moaning in pain, finally came to their senses. They looked up and saw Xuexue and the Elder standing together, looking coldly at them. They were puzzled, wondering how the two had come together in the blink of an eye.
"Elder, we finally found the treasured sword," the Fat Man said excitedly.
"Really?"
"Yes!" He turned to look at his brother, and suddenly his face changed: "Brother, where’s the treasured sword?"
"It’s... huh?" The Thin Man said as he glanced around the ground beside him, indeed not seeing any trace of the treasured sword, his face froze: "Where’s the treasured sword?"
"Weren’t you the one holding it? How would I know."
When they fell, the older brother was clearly the one holding the wooden box, and now it was gone. He was asking him, which made the Fat Man a bit annoyed.
"Strange, I was clearly holding the treasured sword when we came down, how is it gone now?" The Thin Man was almost dying of anxiety, as this treasured sword was crucial to the lives of the two brothers.
These two are really unreliable.
The Elder coldly asked: "Where’s the treasured sword?"
The two brothers were desperate, and they said in unison with mournful faces: "Elder, we really brought the treasured sword, but maybe we didn’t realize it was lost on the way in. Elder, could you kindly give us the antidote first?"
The Elder glared and said viciously: "You two worthless men, you dare come empty-handed and ask me for the antidote? Do you think I’ve been here for decades and have become fool enough to be easily deceived?"
The Fat Man’s signature smile disappeared, replaced by a withered expression: "We wouldn’t dare, Elder, we wouldn’t dare deceive you. We really brought the treasured sword inside."
Xuexue, standing beside them, didn’t miss the chance to add: "You two villains, at death’s door yet dare to deceive the Elder, when the treasured sword has clearly already been snatched back by the Prince outside."
Upon hearing this, the Elder became even angrier, cursing the two brothers: "So! You really planned to deceive me, then you’ll bear the consequences of deceiving me. I won’t give you the antidote, just wait for the poison to kill you."
The two brothers were both scared and furious, glaring at Xuexue with eyes that seemed ready to devour her: "Princess Consort of War Prince, speak with a clear conscience."
Xuexue almost laughed out loud. You steal my family’s things, and I have to speak with a clear conscience, are you kidding?
"What do you intend to do? Failed to trick the Elder’s antidote and now want to threaten me?" Xuexue pretended to be scared and hid behind the Elder.
The Elder’s eyes widened, fiercely facing the two brothers: "What? With me here, you dare to commit violence? I’ll tell you, this young lady is my savior. If anyone dares to lay a finger on her, you won’t need to wait for poison to take effect, I’ll send you to the Western Heaven right now."
The two brothers gritted their teeth in hatred, with the Elder protecting Xuexue, they dared not act against her.
Wait a moment, the Elder actually said the Princess Consort of War Prince was his savior, what’s going on?
Only then did the two brothers realize, after a look of bewilderment at each other, it was the Fat Man who first noticed something amiss and cried out: "Elder, where’s your coffin?"
