Sima You Yue helped Old Bi perform acupuncture before asking, "Old Bi, have you ever wondered why your poison can be suppressed inside Blood Fiend City?"
Bi Sheng put his clothes on and said, "I have. But Ive never found the reason why."
"Have you ever gone to check it out?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Ive checked it out. In the past hundred years, Ive walked everywhere in Blood Fiend City, thinking of finding out the reason why. Especially since my body has been feeling differently recently. I wanted to find out what caused the change. However, even though Ive gone to check it out so many times, Ive never found out anything." Bi Sheng said, "Why? What did you discover?"
"It was rather weird when we went to the City Lords residence today." Sima You Yue siad, "To be exact, Ive had a nagging feeling ever since Ive entered Blood Fiend City."
"Oh? You found something strange as well?
"When we entered the city, we could only use crystal stones. Nobody in the city is able to cultivate. They can only do so with the aid of the crystal stone, so isnt this strange in itself?" Sima You Yue siad, "The Blood Arena is strange as well. It seems to give everyone a sense of happiness, but nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes. The stage is another enigma. After seeing blood, they definitely go crazy. This is something that doesnt sense."
Bi Sheng didnt think that after Sima You Yue had entered the city for less than two or three days, she would have found so many issues with it already.
Sima You Yue took out the tea leaves that Li Hong had given to her and handed it over to Bi Sheng.
"Take a look at this."
Bi Sheng opened the bag and looked at the tea leaves inside. He took a few of them out and sniffed them, saying, "Are these leaves from the Blood Demon Tree?"
"You know about the Blood Demon Tree as well?" Sima You yue asked, "Then, have you ever drunk the tea from the leaves?"
Bi Sheng shook his head, saying, "There are only a few of these tea leaves every year. It is always the City Lord who drinks it. I have never seen him gift them to someone else before. I didnt expect him to gift them to you. Whats wrong with these tea leaves?"
"Youll know once you test it."
Sima You Yue used some of the leaves to brew a cup of tea. She handed it to Bi Sheng, who drank it. Then, he attentively examined its taste, saying, "There doesnt seem to be anything off about it?"
Dont you feel like, after drinking it, theres a bit of the taste of blood in it?" Sima You Yue asked.
Bi Sheng took another mouthful, paying more attention to its taste. After a short moment passed, he said, "Thats right. There is a faint smell of blood. This tea was brewed from the Blood Demon Tree. Why would there be the taste of blood?"
"What do you think?"
"Unless its constantly been steeped in blood, this wouldnt happen." Bi Sheng said.
"Whether or not it has been, Im thinking that a tree that carries the smell of blood isnt something that great." Sima You Yue said.
"Then, why would the City Lord give you something like this? Does he not know?" Bi Sheng was puzzled.
"No, Im guessing that he does know. Furthermore, it seems like he kept hinting to me to get me to notice that tree." Sima You Yue said, "But I just cant understand it. Its a tree. Why did he keep hinting to me about it non-stop? Do you know anything about that tree?"
"The Blood Demon Tree?" Bi Sheng thought for a moment, saying, "Now that you mention it, nobody has really noticed that tree. If you didnt mention it, I would never have thought of that tree. Thinking about it closely now, however, that tree has always been there. Nobody knows when it started growing. Its been a long time, but nobody has really paid any attention to it. It could be because it has always been in the City Lords residence, so no one had much access to it."
"Why would it be a tree, though?" Sima You Yue looked at her finger thoughtfully, unable to understand. "Old Bi, theres also the matter of the red moon. Do you know why?"
"I have a feeling that there is a correlation between the red moon and the suppression of my poison." Bi sheng said.
"How so?"
