There was only a blood stain the size of a fingernail on his cuff. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have noticed it at all.
The junior sister not only saw it, but also said with certainty that the blood was poisonous.
she--
He looked around to make sure that no one else had heard what she said, and then looked at Ye Xiyue again, his brows slightly condensed:
"Junior sister, go in and talk."
Ye Xiyue glanced at him and was sure that this was Pei Zhongtian's blood.
Otherwise, his reaction would not be so great.
However, she turned around and entered the room without showing any signs of it, followed by Pei Qingyu.
He closed the door and took a deep breath.
The room was very quiet, and the air seemed to be solid.
Pei Qingyu stared at her closely, her voice low and tight:
"Little Junior Sister, what did you mean by what you just said...?"
Ye Xiyue raised her finger and pointed at his cuffs: "This blood is poisonous, senior brother should know that too."
Not a question.
She was obviously very determined.
Pei Qingyu pursed her lips tightly and waited for a while before asking:
"How...how did you tell?"
Very few people know about my grandfather's poisoning.
Outsiders only thought that he had an accident while practicing, which caused his body to collapse rapidly. But in fact, only a handful of people within the Pei family knew that he became like this because he was poisoned.
They had kept it secret all these years and did not dare to leak any information. Who would have thought that Ye Xiyue could see it at a glance.
Ye Xiyue pointed to her nose: "You can't see it, you can smell it."
"What?"
Pei Qingyu looked stunned.
He didn't expect Ye Xiyue to give such an answer.
He looked down at his cuffs almost immediately. This was actually not the first time he saw his grandfather vomiting blood, but the blood, except that it was darker in color, was nothing special, and he only touched it a little.
Although it looks darker, the black color is not obvious.
At least looking at it this way, it's no different from ordinary blood stains.
He raised his hand, brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was no smell except the smell of blood.
"Junior sister, you said you could smell it, so what kind of smell is it?"
Why doesn't he feel anything?
Ye Xiyue said: "Brother, don't you smell the smell of rotting leaves?"
Pei Qingyu frowned and shook his head: "No."
The alchemist who treated my grandfather before never mentioned this.
Did the junior sister really smell that smell? Otherwise, why could she conclude that the blood was poisonous just by looking at it?
After all, she has never even met her grandfather.
Ye Xiyue was also a little surprised.
Although the smell is weak, you can still smell it. Why does Pei Qingyu say he can't smell it?
And looking at him like this, it seemed like her reaction was strange.
She looked slightly calm.
Many thoughts flashed through Pei Qingyu's mind and he asked tentatively:
"Since you can smell that smell, then...little junior sister, do you know what kind of poison this is?"
Ye Xiyue's long eyelashes drooped slightly and she fell into deep thought.
After a while, she said:
"Actually, I have never seen this kind of poison before, but I accidentally saw a poison in a book before, and it also smelled like this."
Pei Qingyu's heart skipped a beat.
Ye Xiyue met his gaze and said:
"The name of that poison is called fallen leaves."
As soon as these words fell, the whole room fell into dead silence.
Pei Qingyu's hand hanging by his side loosened and tightened, and his throat felt stiff.
