After a moment of silence, Old General Tao said, "There is no free meal in this world. This general does not believe that you would give us the antidote without anything in exchange. Envoy, let us not waste time—tell me what you want."
The envoy sighed inwardly and complained, 'Why don't they trust me? I really don't want any payment. This antidote is just a low-grade all-purpose antidote I casually refine. Why do they treat it like a treasure? So confusing.'
Recalling the secret mission he had received directly from the Pavilion Master, the envoy took a deep breath and suppressed his annoyance.
Taking out a small wooden box from the leather pouch at his waist, the envoy threw it to Old General Tao.
"That's the antidote for Seven Blooming Poison. Take it or leave it. But let me remind you that the old minister has less than half a sichen left to live."
The moment his words fell, the envoy disappeared.
