A trace of confusion flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, but soon, his gaze became firm again.
He shook his head and said to Mu Jinyu: "Dragon Master, actually, I haven't really suffered much in the Su family this past year..."
Su Zhengrui and all the fallen members of the Su family felt a huge relief upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, their hearts filled with gratitude and guilt towards him.
Indeed, the Su family had not tortured Zhou Yi much this year, trying to force his pill recipes from him.
But the real reason wasn't that they didn't want to; another individual might really have done so.
They were just afraid that if they tortured Zhou Yi too severely, he might produce a seemingly harmless, yet actually deadly pill formula. If they successfully refined and took such a pill, would it not be self-inflicted harm?
After all, they couldn't understand the pill formula. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't force a tampered and incomplete formula from Zhou Yi's mouth?
