Feng Yuqin had no time to care about what these people were thinking. She held the hands of the three children and walked up to the guard again. "I'm a physician. Can I go in?" she asked.
The guard had witnessed Feng Yuqin's actions earlier. He glanced at her and said, "You can go in, but it might not be so easy to get out."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "I understand. You can rest assured on this point."
Saying so, Feng Yuqin paid the crystal stone fee for entering the city and additionally gave the guard a Recovery Elixir.
Her Recovery Elixirs were far more effective than others'.
Even though the guard was just a city - gate keeper, he was shocked when he saw the elixir.
He immediately welcomed Feng Yuqin in respectfully.
Although the others didn't know what kind of elixir it was, they could tell from the guard's attitude that it was definitely no ordinary pill.
This made the way they looked at Feng Yuqin change again.
After Feng Yuqin led the three children into the city, everyone's eyes turned towards them.
However, since many people in the city were poisoned, their looks were filled with a bit of curiosity and caution.
As soon as they entered the city, Little Ling'er looked around curiously.
Feng Yuqin took them to a bustling restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes.
"Mother, aren't we going to find out why these people are like this?" Little Ling'er asked puzzledly.
"We are finding out exactly why this is happening right now," Feng Yuqin replied. "Look at all these people coming and going. It means that some people don't really care about this disease, or they have an antidote."
Feng Yuqin glanced at the three little ones and said, "There's another possibility. What do you think it could be?"
The three little ones thought for a while and said in unison, "The mastermind."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "That's about right. Even if they're not the mastermind, they must be related to it, which is why they're not in a hurry."
Little Ling'er asked, "Then how can we get in touch with these people?"
Feng Yuqin looked at Little Ling'er and asked, "Are you sure you want to get involved in this?"
"Is this toxin very difficult for mother to deal with?" Little Ling'er asked again.
Feng Yuqin shook her head. "I used the green power to detect it when I was coming in. These toxins aren't very difficult. The difficult part might be the mastermind. We're not sure who the mastermind is, what their strength is, and whether it will affect our journey back to the Wilderness City."
"Then... shouldn't we have come in?" Little Ling'er hesitated and asked.
"Having curiosity is a good thing," Feng Yuqin said. "Besides, we're already in, and it might not be so easy to leave."
Moreover, she never stopped the children from being curious.
She had asked Xiao Ying to check before entering.
Xiao Ying had been with her the longest. Although Xiao Ying didn't know much about toxins, he hadn't said they couldn't enter.
So the situation here wasn't too tricky for her.
And she had confirmed this after entering the city.
Since that was the case, she was more than willing for the children to keep their curiosity.
As for the mastermind, they'd solve the problem if they could. If not, they'd escape through the space.
"Then where should we start?" Little Ling'er asked like a curious baby.
"Let's eat something first. You can think about it during this time," Feng Yuqin said.
The children were in their growing - up years, especially Little Ling'er, who was a bit of a foodie. When the food was served, she didn't care about where to start. She just focused on filling her tummy.
Seeing this, Feng Yuqin didn't urge them and just quietly watched the three little ones gobbling up their food.
The others looked over from time to time.
Some of them stared directly at them.
Finally, the foodie Little Ling'er felt those unfriendly looks. She wrinkled her little nose and glanced at those people.
Although she didn't say anything, her expression showed her dissatisfaction.
But those people thought Little Ling'er's angry look was cute.
One of the men even directly started discussing, "These kids are so cute. If we kidnap them and offer them to the Third Elder of our sect, he'll surely like them."
"I think that woman is extremely beautiful. I've lived for decades, and I've never seen such a beautiful woman. Even the sect master's daughter can't compare to her in looks."
Although these people thought they had lowered their voices, every word fell into Feng Yuqin's ears.
"Master, these people are so arrogant," Xiao Ying frowned and said. "Those who can be so arrogant in this situation must be related to the mastermind."
"Do you have any plans?" Feng Yuqin knew from Xiao Ying's words that he had something in mind.
Xiao Ying said, "How about you go with them?"
Feng Yuqin: "..."
So this meant for her to enter the tiger's den?
"I just used my spiritual sense to detect. There are indeed some experts here, but if they don't all come after you, you can escape," Xiao Ying said.
Feng Yuqin said, "If that's the case, the space will be exposed."
"That's true," Xiao Ying thought for a while and said. "Then we'd better think of another way."
After they finished eating, they left the restaurant, and those people followed them.
Feng Yuqin led Little Ling'er and the others towards a crowded area.
Those people trailed behind Feng Yuqin and the others. They tried to act several times but couldn't find a chance.
Feng Yuqin and Little Ling'er stopped in front of a medicine store.
This time, without Feng Yuqin asking, Little Ling'er and the others noticed the people coming and going in front of the store.
Some people were in a very bad condition. They were on the verge of death but were driven out of the store because they didn't have enough crystal stones.
"Mother..." Little Ling'er was still a child. Seeing this scene, she felt heart - ache.
"Do you want mother to save them?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Little Ling'er nodded. "Can we?"
"Yes, but have you thought about the consequences after the treatment?" Feng Yuqin paused and said. "If we save people in public like this, first, we might offend the store owner. Second, we'll offend the mastermind."
"Those people in the medicine store are also saving people. Are they also offending the mastermind?" Little Ling'er asked curiously.
Feng Yuqin didn't answer but looked at Dabao. "What do you think?"
"This medicine store might be a bit related to the mastermind," Dabao said.
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. "There's indeed such a possibility."
"So we can't save them, right?" Little Ling'er looked worriedly at the people at the door and asked sadly.
Feng Yuqin took out a pill and gave it to Little Ling'er. "Go and give this pill to him. It can relieve his condition. If nothing unexpected happens, he can wait for us to save him."
Little Ling'er's eyes lit up. She took the pill and said, "Thank you, mother."
Feng Yuqin ruffled her little head and watched as Little Ling'er walked over with the pill.
"I have a pill here. Do you want to take it?" Little Ling'er asked as she walked up to the young man.
The man struggled to look up at Little Ling'er. When he saw such a beautiful little girl, he was stunned.
