Because of the virus, the purple fir's body still couldn't see the light. Every time it was exposed to the sun, its skin would shed and crack.
Although Liao Wei was also infected with the virus, he had very little virus in his body and his body was very special. His body's ability to resist the virus was much stronger than Zishan 's.
Thus, Liao Wei quickly recovered and used Zishan's power to seek benefits for himself.
Zishan had given Liao Wei some power and made him work for her. Of course, she knew about Liao Wei's little tricks in private, but she had basically turned a blind eye to them. Liao Wei was not worth her time and effort to deal with, but this person could not be killed either. It was best to let him live.
As long as he was alive, Jing Rui would be distracted to find and kill him.
It was not a bad idea to use Liao Wei as bait.
However, Zishan had kept the matter of Liao Wei's disfigurement a secret from Jing Rui, or Liao Wei would be useless.
