The next morning, Nangong Aotian rested at Avril's house after breakfast. And for the whole day, no one from Avril's family came back. Even Avril never came back after going out in the morning. Nangong Aotian couldn't help but feel a little anxious while waiting.
.
In the blink of an eye, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Nangong Aotian finally saw Gongsun You again while having dinner, so he asked in confusion, "Mr. Gongsun, why haven't Wei'er and the others come back yet? Did something happen?"
"Miss Wei'er just came back today, so she went to attend a very important meeting of our mercenary family." Gongsun You said, "I think they will be back in a while. Please wait patiently for a while."
"I wonder if the content of their meeting today is related to Wei'er?" Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "Or has something important happened to the mercenary family recently?"
"It has something to do with Miss Wei'er." Gongsun You said, "Now that the Second Miss is back, our family is deciding whether to agree to the marriage request proposed by the Silver Eagle Empire mercenary family. This matter can no longer be delayed.
"
"The Silver Eagle Empire is likely to be hostile to our Chinese Empire in the future. How could they think of marrying the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire at this time?" Nangong Aotian said with a frown.
"There's nothing we can do. There's something going on in our family. I think Miss Wei'er has already told you." Gongsun You sighed and said.
"But your marriage to the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire will not bring any benefits in the future? Don't you think that the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire has some ulterior purpose in marrying you at this time?" Nangong Aotian frowned.
He said with a frown.
Gongsun You sighed and said, "You don't know. Our family is facing a serious threat now, and it's hard to explain this to you now. Although we know that the mercenary families of the Silver Eagle Empire may not have such pure intentions,
But we have no other options at the moment."
"If you don't marry the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire, it will be difficult for you to escape this danger?" Nangong Aotian looked at Gongsun You in confusion and said.
"This matter is a long story." Gongsun You said, "The patriarch of my family disagrees with this matter. But now most of the elders have agreed, and Wei'er has also returned. We will have a final discussion in the next few days.
"
While he was talking, Avril and his parents had already walked in together.
"Today, due to some important matters in the family, I have neglected Duke Nangong. I hope Duke Nangong will forgive me." Anivar saluted Nangong Aotian.
"It's nothing, I just wonder if Uncle Ai has encountered any problems?" Nangong Aotian looked at Anivar and said.
"Yes, this matter is really embarrassing." Anivar said, "This matter seems to have something to do with the Duke."
"Oh?" Nangong Aotian looked at Anivar in confusion.
"This matter is the marriage of my daughter Wei'er." Anivar said, "Eight of the top ten elders in my family have agreed to marry with the Silver Eagle Empire."
"So what does the patriarch mean?" Nangong Aotian frowned slightly and looked at Anivar and said.
"Although I don't agree for the time being. But according to the rules of my family, this matter must be decided through voting. The patriarch's voting rights can only account for two votes, and each of the ten elders has one vote." Anivar sighed and said.
My daughter only has one vote herself.”
"How can this be? How can your daughter's happiness be decided by others' votes?" Nangong Aotian said with a frown.
"This is the rule of my family. This cannot be changed." Anivar said with a sigh.
"Do you think that according to the clan rules, Wei'er must marry the mercenary family of the Silver Eagle Empire?" Nangong Aotian said with a frown.
"Yeah." Anivar said with a sigh.
"I don't care, I won't marry that Murong Yiyi anyway, and I won't agree to anything." Avril said very dissatisfied next to Lisa at this time.
"By the way, I wonder if we can go and see if Wei'er's grandfather is poisoned now?" Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Okay, since you want to see it so much, then come and see it with me." Anivar thought for a while and said.
Avril's grandfather was hidden by Anivar in a very hidden secret room. There are very powerful mechanisms along the way to the secret room. Obviously, this is to prevent someone from harming the poisoned person, so it is so tightly guarded.
Nangong Aotian and Anivar walked through a secret passage for ten minutes before arriving at the door of a secret room.
Anivar walked to the door of the secret room at this time and knocked on the thick iron door rhythmically a few times. The door of the secret room opened.
After a little exploration, Nangong Aotian found out that there were actually five high-level warriors guarding the place, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "The strength of this mercenary family is really not small. There are very few high-level warriors here. And here
Five were hidden at once. From this we can see that there are actually quite a few masters in the mercenary family.
"Duke Nangong, please come this way." Anivar led Nangong Aotian through the secret room again before arriving at a small secret room inside.
This small secret room is not big, only about fifty square meters. In addition to two martial arts warriors, there is only an old man sitting cross-legged on a futon in the secret room.
This old man has white eyebrows and white beard, and he looks quite old.
"Brother Tian, this is my grandfather Aisi Siwei." Avril whispered to Nangong Aotian on the side.
At this time, Anivar had already walked to Ai Siwei's side and said softly, "Father, I have found someone to treat your old man."
"I already said there is no antidote for this poison. What else is there to see?" Ai Siwei opened his eyes slightly and said.
"It's always good to give it a try." Anivar said, "The family's situation is already a bit urgent. If there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up."
"Hey, this little kid is so talented. I wonder how old you are this year?" At this time, Ai Siwei had already seen Nangong Aotian.
"This junior is nineteen years old this year." Nangong Aotian said quickly.
"It's unimaginable to reach the eighth level of martial arts at the age of nineteen." Ai Siwei looked at Nangong Aotian in surprise, then looked at Avril and said, "Little girl, why have your strength improved so much?"
Fast?"
"This is all the result of Brother Tian." Avril glanced at Nangong Aotian before saying.
"Who is Brother Tian?" Ai Siwei said and looked at Nangong Aotian.
"It's this junior." Nangong Aotian quickly replied.
"Yeah." Aisiwei nodded and then looked at Anivar and said, "Where is the person you hired to detoxify?"
"That's my brother Tian." Avril said quickly at this moment. Two faint blushes appeared on her face.
"Aren't you a warrior?" Ai Siwei looked at Nangong Aotian and said doubtfully.
"This junior has studied medical skills for several years. So he also knows a little about medicine," Nangong Aotian said quickly.
"Since you want to try it, then just give it a try." Aisi thought for a while and said. However, there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
In this continent, except for spiritual doctors, ordinary people's research on medical skills is very limited. After all, only spiritual doctors can refine elixirs. Only those who can refine elixirs can study pharmacology in more depth.
So Ai Siwei felt a little disappointed at this time.
When Nangong Aotian saw that Ai Siwei had agreed, he said no more. He walked over and first grabbed Ai Siwei's pulse and began to feel it.
After checking his pulse, Nangong Aotian asked about some of Aisi Siwei's symptoms. His brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
Nangong Aotian came to the conclusion based on Ai Siwei's symptoms and the results of taking his pulse that at this time Ai Siwei probably had at most one month to survive.
Nangong Aotian already understood the poisoning symptoms of the Soul-Eating Grass at this time, and through a simple examination, he was certain that Ai Siwei was indeed poisoned by the Soul-Eating Grass.
"Young man, what happened to you?" Although Ai Siwei was a little disappointed, he still had the slightest hope after all.
"To be honest, senior, according to this junior, the poison you were poisoned by is the poison of the Soul-Eating Grass." Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "I'm not very clear about the toxicity of this poison, you can put some for me."
Does blood come out?"
"Okay." Ai Siwei said and waved his hand.
A martial artist with a martial spirit level took a small bowl at this time. Ai Siwei's fighting energy condensed on his fingertips, and a stream of bright red blood was forced out and dripped into the bowl.
Nangong Aotian immediately took the small bowl of blood and placed it on a table next to him. He smelled it carefully and then took out a silver needle to test it.
The color of the silver needle has not changed at all. It is indeed colorless and odorless and cannot be detected.
"Young man, is there any result?" Looking at Nangong Aotian frowning on one side, Ai Siwei couldn't help but ask.
