As Ling Hao racked his brains thinking, a somewhat suspicious conversation took place in a large room.
This was an exquisite room, luxurious furniture and good decoration, inside it were two people, a middle-aged man and a girl.
"Xiao Qi, did you give him the food?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes sir Yao, Xiao Qi did as ordered, Xiao Qi also waited outside the door for some time." The little girl replied as she trembled in fear.
Only then was the man formally introduced, this was Mister Yao, the owner of the House of Thousand Remedies, a cruel and despicable man.
"Humph, so he's dead? Or at least petrified?" The man snorted and then asked again.
"This one..."
Pahhh
"Just answer me quickly, you know what happens when you piss me off, don't you?" Before the little girl could say anything, the man slapped her little face, so one side swelled up, he didn't even feel sorry for a child.
"Ahh- right right, I'll tell you, Lord Yao doesn't need to mistreat Xiao Qi." The girl said almost in tears, the pain she felt was enormous.
"Humph, just say it right before I hit you again." The man said with a stern tone.
"He fell down at first, but after a few minutes he seems to have recovered, Xiao Qi couldn't see what happened because he was on the other side of the door, I only heard movements and footsteps."
The little girl then narrated what happened, even though she wasn't sure why she didn't see anything, she got everything right. From this one can see how this man is complete rubbish, for a child to have experience in this sort of thing, he sure ruthlessly trained her to say the least.
"Hooo..." Mister Yao just let out a tick as he thought after hearing the little girl's response, he then looked at her again.
bam
"Mister Yao, Xiao Qi is not lying, please don't hit Xiao Qi anymore."
Seeing that the man was looking at her, the girl dropped to her knees and began to beg for mercy.
"Humph, get out, and remember not to let anyone know about this, otherwise... You already know what awaits you." Seeing the girl's reaction, Mr. Yao just snorted and ordered her to leave, but before that he threatened her once more.
The girl hurriedly left with those words, it was as if the King of Hell himself was standing in front of her.
"Tsk, and to think that second-tier Stone Serpent Petrifying Poison would not kill or even harm a cultivator in the Martial Disciple realm, I will have to find something stronger if I want to take care of this family."
After the little girl ran out of the room, the man lightly muttered, he was very annoyed that his experiment failed, this seems to be an essential piece to some important plan he had in mind, if he only knew why his poison failed Ling Hao , would he spit blood in anger?
As for Ling Hao, he would definitely be furious if he found out that what he suffered was not murder but was used as a guinea pig.
Back in Ling Hao, he just gave up on frying the brain imagining things, he even thought about pushing the little girl to find out something, but then he gave up, besides the fact that she doesn't even know anything, damn she's just a child.
Either way, he will be able to find out when he becomes stronger. Even if he found out now, what could he do?
With that night coming, Ling Hao had already eaten, so he just lay down and tried to sleep, it wasn't hard to fall asleep due to all he'd been through in just one day.
A silent night passed and the morning of a new day arrived, the sun was shining and birds were singing in all directions, Qingshan city may be a small town, but its flow of people is not considered weak.
This is a city dedicated almost entirely to mercenaries, there are at least three groups of mercenaries in this city, so the flow of people from outside coming to get your services is very large, due to this the silent city became very noisy in the blink of an eye. .

At this moment, inside the room where Ling Hao was, the sound of the doorknob rang again, instantly woke him up.
Turning to look, he saw the same little girl from the day before he brought her breakfast, then noticed that one side of her face was swollen and purple. This instantly caused Ling Hao to fall into a silent rage.
'Bastards, not a child is spared, what happened yesterday was undoubtedly done by that damn old Yao, I'll kill him when I get the chance.'
Ling Hao thought with extreme anger, just seeing the girl's bruised face and he was sure who was responsible for almost causing her death.
Ling Hao watched the girl, the fear on her face was unmistakable, he waited for her to reach the table, he watched every shaky step she took.
As soon as she dropped the tray on the table, Ling Hao grabbed one of her wrists saying:
"Little girl, come to me."
The girl was startled, it was as if her worst nightmare had surfaced, she then tried to scream, but seeing that Ling Hao covered her mouth quickly.
"Calm down, I don't want to hurt you, just sit on the bed, I'll take care of your wound." Ling Hao said, just then he felt the little girl soften a little, with that he pulled her onto the bed and made her sit down.
Ling Hao then extended the index finger of his right hand and placed it on the swelling of the girl's face, then he imparted his spiritual power to her, soon the swelling was reduced considerably.
Although he still couldn't fully heal her swelling, what Ling Hao did not only lessened the swelling but also ended the pain, it made the girl feel completely amazed, she even stopped shaking.
'This is really a cruel world, I'll have to get used to it sooner or later, but not today.' Ling Hao thought secretly as he looked at the little girl's face as he felt a little bitterness in his heart.
