Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Scheming

Chapter 118 Scheming

Looking at the man inside the cage, Elder Xiao couldn't stop his body from trembling. The man actually fell asleep? He balled his hands into fists as he ignored Fang Ling'er and walked towards the cage. This time, no barrier stopped him. With his trembling hands, he personally opened the cage and examined the man's pulse.

Indeed, his heartbeat had calmed down! But how was this possible? Elder Xiao's pupils shook. Did Fang Yu really create something that could cure the people who had fallen sick because of the plague? He couldn't help but look at the petite woman standing outside of the cage.

Did he make the wrong choice earlier?

"Elder Xiao… will you announce the winner now?" Fang Yu's smile was so brilliant it was enough to blind him. The Elder closed his eyes, gulping.

"Elder Xiao…" He heard Fang Ling'er voice. "The man took two potion." She reminded him.

"That is right… Elder Fang. There is no way to determine if your potion was indeed the one who cured this person since this man already took Madam Fang Ling'er's potion earlier." Elder Xiao said.

Fang Yu snorted. "Is that so?" She looked at Fang Ling' er and the Elder. "Well then… since that is the case. There is no point in staying here anymore. Elder Xiao has already made his decision." She gave a brilliant smile. "I hope Elder Xiao won't regret it." She immediately turned towards Mo Li.

"Wait!" Elder Xiao stood and walked towards her. "I hope… I hope Elder Fang would be kind enough to share the formula of the potion that she made today. We needed this so the Potioneering Guild can assess the potion." He was sure that Fang Yu's potion had some effect on the man but he couldn't just announce that she won after the gifts that he had accepted from Fang Ling'er. So he chose to ask her for the formula instead.

The Elder was expecting that Fang Yu would just agree and gave him the formula. After all, no one would want to offend an Elder from the Potioneering Guild.

"Elder Xiao." Fang Yu made a deliberate pause. She didn't turn to look at the old man and just keep on walking towards her husband. "You will regret what you did today."

"You— Halt! Stop right now!" Alarmed, Elder Xiao yelled, trying to stop Fang Yu from leaving. He needed to get that formula.

In response, Fang Yu's voice drifted towards his ears. 'I will send a recording of what happened today to every Sect in the lands. Then I will send my potions to the island in the south.' Her tone was filled with amusement yet to the Elder, it contained nothing but poison. He stood, flabbergasted while staring at Fang Yu's back. 'Of course… If the honorable Elder will do what I tell him to do. I would not do such despicable things.' She added.

'What do you want me to do?' he responded. Just the fact that she knew about the plague was enough to change his decision.

'Kill Fang Ling'er." She said. Then she gave him another look before going down the stage and arriving at her husband's side. 'I will give you two days.'

Elder Xiao almost couldn't believe her words. Fang Yu wanted to kill her own cousin but she wasn't planning on doing it herself and end up creating another trouble for her Master. After all, Fang Ling'er's talent in potioneering was top one of her Frozen Wraith Sect. Meaning, her death would only add to the current conflict that the two Sects had.

Now that Elder Xiao thought about it, this Fang Yu was extremely cruel. She doesn't want to involve her own sect so she asked someone who came from an organization that was more powerful than both Eight Palms Sect and Frozen Wraith Sect. If the person that kills Fang Ling'er is someone more powerful than her sect then her sect can do nothing about it. They wouldn't retaliate because they would fear that the Potioneering Guild would ban them!

This woman… she was extremely scheming! However, in front of someone like this, Elder Xiao could only lower his head and grit his teeth. After all, he saw the effects from Fang Yu's potion. He stared at Fang Yu before he waved his hand.

"Fang Ling'er created a poison instead of a cure." He uttered, while staring straight into Fang Yu's eyes. His words were loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Elder Xiao!" Of course, the sudden changes of the Elder's decision made Fang Ling'er so pale her face looked like a piece of white paper. "What do you—"

"Creating a poison is forbidden in these lands. Therefore… I will punish Fang Ling'er! By death!" He interrupted the woman's voice and waved his hands. Just like that, water spears appeared in the air and immediately flew towards Fang Ling'er. Killing her right now was better to keep their deal a secret. After all, the only way for two people to keep a secret was if one of them was dead.

Of course, the Elder was extremely vicious and decisive. Since he already saw the effects of Fang Yu's potion what was the use of offending her further? Fang Yu was clearly more talented than her cousin and the Elder would always value talents above everything else.

Seeing the spears, Fang Ling'er's eyes went wide, her face turned even paler. Before she could scream, the tip of the water spear had already impaled her chest. Pain exploded through her, as two another spears stabbed her body.

Surprised gasps and screams immediately echoed. The Elders' words were clear, his decision was abrupt. But what could they do about it? The Potioneering Guild valued talent but they also hated people who created poisons.

This was something that everyone knew in these lands.

The concubines screamed, while some of them fainted as they watched Fang Ling'er fall onto the stage, her body had already lost all it's color before her body could even reach the floor.

The Elder didn't even spare Fang Ling'er another glance as he looked at Fang Yu. �����I did what you wanted.' He said.

'Good.' Fang Yu's lips rose into a smile so enchanting, Mo Li immediately held her hand. He immediately made a mental note to talk to her about this kind of smile in the future. 'I will send you the formula tomorrow from my Master's cave. Thank you Elder. Have a wonderful day ahead.' She curtsied and looked at her husband before shrugging.

The two then left without even looking at Fang Ling'er's deceased body.
