Chapter 323

Emma was taken aback by Steven’s unexpected questions. “I’ve heard people talk about it… Why do you ask?”

Steven pressed on: “Can the poison made by the Yi people be turned into an antidote?”

Emma was puzzled by his persistence but answered carefully: “I don’t know. My father is from the Yi people, and I have their blood, but I don’t know much about their customs. I only heard my father mention that their homeland is chaotic—divided into high and low castes.”

She pointed to someone in the newspaper. “This person is from the lower caste. His skin is dark, and his status is low. My father, however, belongs to the higher caste.”

Steven didn’t know much about the Yi people. The country they came from was poor, backward, and still clinging to monarchy, with a civilization that was barely understood.

He made a decision: he needed to go see it for himself. There might be something useful there.
