Chapter 23

Swiftly running past a few roofs, Xiao Yu’er saw the 3 running horses.

Although the horses were in a rush, it could not match Xiao Yu’er’s strides. The horses were running on the street, Xiao Yu’er was following silently on the roofs.

He was asking himself, “Why is He Lu in such a hurry to buy those herbs? Unless someone was poisoned by a venom of extreme coolness or heatiness? Can’t the medicine in the Floral Palace neutralize the poison?”

His thoughts wandered and pondered, “The person who poisoned them already knew they needed such herbs, so they bought all the herbs on the market. Obviously they wanted the poisoned person to die!... What a callous plan! But who could it be?”

“Who could be the one who was poisoned? Could it be Hua Wu Que!”

His thoughts were in a mess, and could not decide if he was shocked or happy.

The horses ran and in an instance, suddenly stopped in front of a high wall. There is a small door in the wall, it looks like someone’s back door. The door was unlocked. He Lu jumped down from her horse and pushed the door open.

Xiao Yu’er raised his shoulders, and jumped up the high wall like a bat. His body slid over in the darkness, and the two men below did not even notice anything.

Sighing softly, He Lu walked swiftly, the night wind blowing past the tree tops, the pebbled path going ‘sha, sha’ under her feet. She removed the black cloth covering her head and on her hair, there was a bright pearl.

The pearl shone under the stars. Hiding in the trees, Xiao Yu’er followed the shine of the pearl. The shine disappeared into the trees and amidst the trees, there were three to five exquisite lodges.

Xiao Yu’er hid himself in the heavy foliage, unworried that he will be discovered. He looked down quietly, and saw Hua Wu Que’s face.

This handsome, suave, serene, confident face, at this moment was filled with anxiety. He came out in a hurry and on seeing He Lu, his first words were, “Where are the herbs?”

He Lu rubbed the black cloth in her hands and replied softly, “Didn’t buy it.”

The three words were not even out of her mouth but on seeing the expression on her face, Hua Wu Que’s own expression changed and snatched the black cloth from her hand, uttering, “Why… why couldn’t you buy it?”

This Master Wu Que, his every movement is usually refined, and treats females with gentleness and courtesy, but this time, he lost his usual composure.

On seeing his behavior, Xiao Yu’er knew that the injured person must be someone very close to him, or he would not be so uncharacteristically lost.

Xiao Yu’er was lost in thought while He Lu and Hua Wu Que continued talking. By the time he returned his attention to the conversation, the two of them had already entered the house.

The candlelight glowed inside and on the paper window, 2 shadows appeared. One with a bowed head, the clothes rustling, as if the person is shaking from nervousness. Without a doubt, this person is Hua Wu Que.

The other person had a long, fine beard, sitting as straight as a pen, and Xiao Yu’er could imagine his expression would be serious. But no matter how long he looked, he could not make out who this second person could be.

Suddenly a gentle and steady voice said, “The fortunate will be blessed, Sir need not worry too much. Actually, I have expected that Miss He Lu would return empty handed.” As soon as this voice reached his ears, Xiao Yu’er’s heart skipped a beat.

He heard Hua Wu Que sigh, “These herbs, although expensive, are not rare. I cannot understand why we could not even buy these few herbs in such a large city like An Qing.”

That voice continued, “That person knows that only these few herbs of extreme coolness or hotness can neutralize his poison, and deduced that Sir would know about this, so if he had not bought all the herbs, the effort taken to put the poison would have gone to waste.”

Regardless of what the speaker said, his voice remained very calm. At this moment, Xiao Yu’er realized that this person must be Jiang Bie He!

Remembering this person’s ruthlessness, Xiao Yu’er could feel a shiver run down his spine. Never mind about Hua Wu Que, if he was found out by this person, he would not be able to live! Hiding in the trees, Xiao Yu’er dare not even breath.

With a voice full of hatred, Hua Wu Que replied, “Correct, this person has reckoned that even the medicine in Floral Palace could not neutralize this kind of cold poison made from the essence of snow and ice, but… what enmity does ‘he’ have with ‘him’? Why leave him with no way to live!”

Xiao Yu’er could not guess who the first ‘he’ that Hua Wuque was referring to, and could not figure out who the second ‘him’ was, and was beginning to get anxious.

Jiang Bie He slowly replied, “I’m afraid that the one the person wants to harm is not ‘him’, but Sir.”

Hua Wu Que replied, “But eversince I came to Central Plains, I have not made an enemy of anyone, why would this person want to harm me? Who is this person? I can’t think of an answer.”

Jiang Bie He seemed to reply with a smile, “If Sir could set his mind at ease about Miss Tie’s condition, and follow me to investigate, I have 80% confidence that we can find the perpetrator!”

Miss Tie! The person who was poisoned, could it be Tie Xin Lan! Xiao Yu’er was so surprised he almost fell off the tree. The leaves “whooshed” and Hua Wu Que’s shadow could be seen standing up abruptly and he shouted, “There’s someone outside, who is that?”

Xiao Yu’er was so tensed that his heart almost jumped out from his throat.

However, Jiang Bie He replied, “The wind is rustling the leaves, who can there be? Let me accompany Sir to take a look at Miss Tie’s illness.” And so, the two of them left the window.

Xiao Yu’er heaved a sigh of relief, “Heaven has really helped me this time, Jiang Bie He has always been a wary person, but today he actually overlooked…”

As soon as he arrived that that thought, he felt coldness in his heart, “Jiang Bie He has always been wary, he will never fail to notice, there must be a ploy in this!”

Xiao Yu’er is really sharp, and his thoughts faster than lightening, once he thought of this, he wanted to escape, but alas, he is still late!

In the darkness, there are already 2 human shadows, flying through the sky like swallows!

Xiao Yu’er cast a startled look, and saw that it is indeed Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Que. Hua Wu Que’s clothes fluttered in the wind, looking like a flying fairy, his eyes gleaming in the darkness, but full of hatred. He must have thought this person hiding in the darkness is related to the poison incident.

Xiao Yu’er’s martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds, but faced with these two people, he can’t help but quiver in his heart. It’s just that he has faced such life and death situations so many times; he now treats them like an everyday meal. At this point, he was alarmed but not confused, he lowered his ‘qi’ and the branch he was sitting on ‘cracked’ and broke, and his body went into a straight fall.

Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Que has gathered momentum in the air, and like an arrow released from the bow, they could not change their direction to fall, or turn back. Xiao Yu’er heard the whistling of the wind above him, the two of them had flown past his head.

He gained the advantage, not daring to hesitate, rushed forward with all his might, in an opposite direction of where Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Que has gone. He calculated that by the time they turned back, they would be one step behind. Although the time difference is only a moment, with Xiao Yu’er’s current Lightness skill, Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Qie would not be able to catch up with him.

How could he have expected that although Jiang Bie He’s body could not stop, shooting forward like a pen, but his hand flicked back. In his hand he has already held on to his secret weapon, several Silver Stars flew towards Xiao Yu’er back like a thunderstorm!

Hua Wu Que was darting through the air when he suddenly lifted his leg, kicked against a tree trunk, and borrowing the strength from the tree, lightly rebounded and changed direction, his head followed by his feet, shooting back! The speed of his rebound was comparable to the secret weapon fired by Jiang Bie He!

Xiao Yu’er heard the sounds of the secret weapon flying through the air, but the Silver Stars are almost upon his back!

His strength exhausted, he could not leap up, and could only fall flat on the ground and rolled, “puff, puff”.

A string of light sound was heard, and the seven Silver Stars were embedded on the ground next to his body.

He had escaped death by a hair’s breath but before he could gather his wits, he looked up. Hua Wu Que’s fluttering robe has already reached the top of his head!

Hua Wu Que flipped over in the air, his palms outstretched! He is as agile as a dragon in the sky, and with the strength of his palm pressed down, even ants would find difficulty escaping!

Unexpectedly, the seven Silver Stars embedded on the ground sprung up suddenly towards Hua Wu Que, and it seems with the sudden change, it would not be easy for Hua Wu Que to avoid them!

No matter how devious Jiang Bie He is, he did not expect such a ploy. He was speechless that the opposite party actually used his secret weapon to escape!

Hua Wu Que clapped his outstretched palms with a ‘pak’, and like night birds returning to their nests, the seven Silver Stars all flew into his palms!

All this happened in an instant, but the whole process was like a thousand changes! After shooting the Silver Stars with a stroke of his palm, Xiao Yu’er used the energy from the stroke and rebounded himself, and still managed to sneak a peek amidst all the action.

On witnessing Hua Wu Que’s amazing internal energy, Jiang Bie He can’t help but cry out, “Good!”

Jiang Bie He called out to this mysterious person with such wondrous reflexes, “Friend, what great skills! Why not stay and tell us your intention!”

Without turning back, Xiao Yu’er replied coarsely, “Speak tomorrow, it’s good bye for today!”

Before he even finished his words, Hua Wu Que has already coldly replied, “Friend, with your skills, it will be such a waste if I let you leave just like that!”

The voice was just behind Xiao Yu’er. Not only does he not dare to turn his head, he did not even dare to speak, but used all his strength to glide forward.

The roofs flew under his feet rapidly, and he does not know how many roofs he has flown over, but he is still within the compounds of the mansion!

He heard Jiang Bie He exclaim, “Friend does not look very old, but not only do you possess astonishing skills, your thoughts are swift too. With the appearance of such a young hero in Jiang Hu, it will be such a sin if I do not make your acquaintance.”

His speech did not even hinder his chase, and his voice was calm, as if he is confident that Xiao Yu’er will never escape his clutches.

Hua Wu Que remarked, “Correct, his Lightness Skills, even if it is not Number One in Central Plains, is already remarkable!” He was also wondering, why he could not catch up even now.

Although his Lightness Skill is better than Xiao Yu’er’s, but the prey can always hide here and there, changing direction randomly, so they have an advantage over the predator.

Jiang Bie He commented, “This person’s Lightness Skill is excellent, and looks full of energy, his body has gathered momentum and I’m afraid it would be difficult for you and me to continue the chase.”

Once Xiao Yu’er heard that sentence, he suddenly dropped downwards towards the houses. This impish Xiao Yu’er, he did not think of this in his shock, but Jiang Bie He’s speech reminded him.

Jiang Bie He secretly dropped down, and saw Xiao Yu’er turning here and there in the winding corridor. Suddenly he jumped head in through a window.

By then, the lights in the rooms have been extinguished. Although he does not know if there is anyone in the room, he reckoned that in such a huge mansion, there are bound to be more empty rooms.

The room is really empty.

Xiao Yu’er has just taken a breath when he heard a ‘whiz’, Hua Wu Que has leaped in, followed by another ‘whiz’, Jiang Bie He was not far behind too.

It was pitch black in the room, and nothing can be seen. Xiao Yu’er stepped forward and almost knocked into a table.

Jiang Bie He laughingly said, “Friend, come out. I am Jiang Bie He, and I stake my reputation as the ‘Hero of Jiang Nan’ that if you reveal your background, I will not make things difficult for you.”

If this sentence was spoken to someone else, that person might just obey, but Xiao Yu’er not only knows what kind of person this ‘Hero of Jiang Nan’ really he, he also knows that once they find out his identity, they will surely make things ‘difficult’.

Jiang Bie He continued, “If Friend does not heed my kind advice, I’m afraid it will soon be too late for regrets.”

Xiao Yu’er quietly lifted up the table and hurled it towards Jiang Bie He, at the same time vaulting into a corner at the left.

He figured that there must be a door at the corner of the left wall, and he was correct. The table landed with a ‘smash’, and he has already kicked open the door and darted out.

This house is even darker than the open, and darkness is to his advantage.

Xiao Yu’er hid in the darkness, not even daring to move a muscle. He was just thinking of how to escape when suddenly, there were lights coming on. Jiang Bie He actually lighted the lamps outside.

Xiao Yu’er grabbed a chair and threw it out, the people retreated, and the chair fell with a ‘peng’. He leaped out of the window, turned a somersault in the air and jumped through another window opposite.

With all the clashing and banging, he woke up half the people sleeping in the house, and voices started to be heard, “What happened? Who’s that?” Jiang Bie He called out, “There’s a robber, everyone stay calm and do not run about, in case you get injured accidentally. We only need to light the lamps, and the robber will not be able to escape!”

Xiao Yu’er was lamenting in his heart, this Jiang person really has quite a few tricks up his sleeves, everything he said was spot on. Xiao Yu’er was hoping to escape among the chaos, and more hopefully, the lamps will not be lighted. Once the lamps are lighted, not only does he have no where to run, he has no where to hide as well. This is really costing him his life.

He only heard everyone chorusing, “It’s Hero Jiang talking, everyone listen to his instructions.”

Subsequently, all the lamps in the courtyard was lighted up. Xiao Yu’er looked around and found himself in a study. This study was exquisitely decorated, and there is an embroidery stand next to the study table.

He thought, “Why would there be a lady’s embroidery stand in a study?”

Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Que is already outside the window. Xiao Yu’er retreated through another door, when suddenly someone called out from behind the door, “Who is that outside!”

It’s a girl’s voice.

There’s someone behind the door. Xiao Yu’er was initially alarmed, but his thoughts turned and he was elated. Without hesitation, he kicked open the door and barged in.

He reasoned that Jiang Bie He, being the hypocrite that he is, would need to maintain the fa?ade of the ‘Hero of Jiang Nan’, and would never enter a girl’s room. Hua Wu Que would also never be ill-mannered in front of a lady.

But Xiao Yu’er has no qualms about lady or no lady. He extinguished the lamp with a flick of his hand as soon as he entered the door, but from the corner of his eyes, he has seen a girl lying on the bed. He dashed over and with hands as fast as lightning, covered her mouth one with hand while pressing her shoulder down with the other and whispered, “If you do not want to suffer, do not utter a sound!”

Who would have expected that the girl is so strong, and her reflexes as fast, and her hands instead gripped Xiao Yu’er’s hands!

This is another unexpected turn of event. In his panic, Xiao Yu’er tried to use his strength but the girl had already pressed him down on the bed, her elbow pressed down on his throat!

Xiao Yu’er was caught unawares and ended up being overcome by this girl. He felt half his body go numb, and was powerless to move. He secretly sighed and laughed bitterly, “Forget it, forget it… I guess in this life, it is fated that I will die in the hands of women.”

At this point in time, Jiang Bie He’s voice could be heard outside.

He really did not come in, but just asked outside, “Miss, did that thief dash into your room?”

Xiao Yu’er shut his eyes, ready to accept fate.

The girl replied, “Yes, someone did barged in just now, but has escaped through the window behind. I’m afraid he has fled to the small garden there, Hero Jiang please give chase quickly.”

Never in his dreams would Xiao Yu’er expect the girl to reply in that manner. He only heard Jiang Bie He call out his thanks and hurrying off. He was so surprised and happy that he did not move.

Finally, he could not bear it any longer and asked, “Mi… Miss, why did you save me?”

The girl did not answer immediately, but went to latch the door.

It was so dark in the room that you would not be able to see your fingers even if you raise them. Xiao Yu’er could not catch a look at the girl’s face, and started to feel suspicious. He jumped up and said, “I do not know Miss at all, and yet you saved me, but I wonder why?” The girl giggled, “You really do not know me?”

Xiao Yu’er replied, “All the women who knew me wants to kill me, they would not save me.”

The girl laughed out loud, “Don’t tell me you’ve been scared out of your wits, you could not even recognize my voice.” She was speaking softly and gently initially, but now laughing out loud, it bears the heroic spirit of a man. Xiao Yu’er immediately recognized the voice and asked hoarsely, “You, you are Third Missy? Why are you here?”

Third Missy replied, “This is my home, where else could I be if not here?”

Xiao Yu’er was astounded for a moment before adding, “I deserve to die, how could I not have recognized this is Duan He Fei’s house… this ghastly place is really to huge, coming in here is just like walking through a maze.”

Third Missy laughed, “Not only you, even I will sometimes lose my way in here.”

“But why is that Jiang Bie He and Hua Wu Que here?” Xiao Yu’er asked.

Third Missy replied, “They are here because of the stolen cargo.”

Xiao Yu’er sighed, “What a twist of fate, an unexpected happening, of all the coincidences in the world, I have to meet them all. Jiang Bie He turned out to be in your house, and I blundered into your room.”

Third Missy chuckled, “They would never expect that I know you.”

Xiao Yu’er concurred, “Why else would that old fox believe you.” Jiang Bie He would never guess that Duan He Fei’s daughter would save a thief; therefore he was easily dismissed by Third Missy’s words.

Third Missy asked, “But… but you and Hero Jiang.. how? How…”

Xiao Yu’er sniggered, “Hero Jiang… humph, the devil my Hero.”

Third Missy wondered, “Who in Jiang Hu does not know his reputation as ‘Hero of Jiang Nan’? If he is not a Hero, then who is?”

Xiao Yu’er retorted, “If he is a Hero, any turtle, as*hole thief will all be heroes.”

Third Missy laughed, “You were intimidated by him, that’s why you hate him so much. He is actually a nice person. Once he heard our cargo has been stolen, he came immediately to help us.”

Xiao Yu’er snickered, “This is what I call a weasel wishing a chicken happy new year.”

“You said he does not have good intentions, but what devious plans would he have?” Third Missy asked.

Xiao Yu’er said, “The plans these people harbor, you will never understand in your whole lifetime.”

Third Missy bent over and sat on the bed, sat right next to Xiao Yu’er, her heart beating ‘rat-a-tat’. After sitting for a while with head lowered, she spoke, “That Master Hua… was also invited by Jiang… Jiang Bie He.”

Xiao Yu’er replied, “Oh?”

Third Missy continued, “Apparently this Master Hua, is the Number One hero in Jiang Hu, and is considered the most handsome man in the world, but the way I see him, that effeminate look, just doesn’t look pleasing to me.”

Hearing her scold Hua Wu Que, Xiao Yu’er was delighted, and holding her hands, smiled, “You have good taste, what you’ve said is right.”

“I…. I….”

In the darkness, Xiao Yu’er was holding her hands. She could feel her face blushing, her heart beating and her throat drying, and she could not utter even a single word.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu’er exclaimed, “That Master Hua you mentioned, did he have a friend who has been poisoned?”

Third Missy asked, “How did you know?”

Xiao Yu’er mused, “He is so capable, how could he have let his friend get poisoned?”

“Yesterday afternoon, that Master Hua and Hero Ji…Jiang Bie He went out together, leaving Miss Tie alone in the guest room. Someone came with gifts for Master Hua, and Miss Tie accepted it. Among the gifts there were some snacks, and who knows Miss Tie was poisoned after eating a little.”

Xiao Yu’er asked, “Who sent the gifts?”

Third Missy replied, “The gifts were sent directly to Miss Tie, no one else know.”

“Did she not say?”

“When Master Hua returned, she is already in a coma and could not talk.”

Xiao Yu’er furrowed his brows, “How could she be so careless, and just eat what someone delivers?”

After thinking for a while, he continued, “The person with the gift must have been someone she trusted, which is why she ate without a doubt… but why would someone she trust want to harm her?”

Third Missy sighed, “That Miss Tie, is really gentle and pretty, and is such a perfect match with Master Hua. It would be such a pity if she cannot be saved.”

Xiao Yu’er asked through gritted teeth, “You said she and Hua…”

Third Missy revealed, “The two of them were so loving that everyone envied them, especially the way Master Hua treats her, acceding to her every wish, so gentle, so caring…”

On hearing these, the blood shot right up to Xiao Yu’er’s head, and he almost exploded. Unable to control further, he blurted, “Hateful!”

“Who…. Who are you referring to as hateful?”

Xiao Yu’er exhaled, and slowly said, “I mean the person who poisoned her is hateful.”

Third Missy replied, “Until now, Master Hua and Jiang Bie He have not found out who is the perpetrator…”

Xiao Yu’er laughed with his eyes wide, “He may be gentle and caring towards her, but he cannot save her life…. Hee…. Hee… hee hee…”

On hearing his strange laugh, Third Missy can’t help but ask, “What…. What’s with you?”

Xiao Yu’er replied, “I’m very well, very happy, never been this happy before.”

Third Missy lowered her head, “You… Are you really that happy, being with me?” Others say that boys can be self-intoxicated, but they do not know that when a girl is self-intoxicated, it is ten times stronger than a boy’s.

Xiao Yu’er was silent for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Third Missy’s hands, “I’m begging a favor from you now, will you agree?”

Third Missy blushed again, her heart skipped again, and replied breathlessly, “No matter what request, I will agree.”

Overjoyed, Xiao Yu’er said, “I beg that you send me out, and not let anyone discover.”

Third Missy felt as if she has just been whipped, and was stunned.

After who knows how long, she quivered, “You… want to leave right now?” Fine, I will send you out.” Third Missy suddenly shouted, “Someone…. Someone…. There’s a robber in here!”

Xiao Yu’er’s face paled immediately, and clutched Third Missy’s hand, “You… what are you doing?”

The sound of clothes fluttering in the wind was heard, and Jiang Bie He was outside the window, “Miss, do not be alarmed, where is the robber?” His arrival was swift!

Xiao Yu’er was alarmed, angry and hateful.

“Women…. Women…. To detain me, she would not hesitate to harm me! I have known long ago that women are disasters, but why did I still trust her!”

He was all ready to dash out, when Third Missy replied, “I saw someone just now, heading towards where Miss Tie is staying…”

Before she completed her sentence, Hua Wu Que cried out, “Ah…. That’s bad! We must not fall into that person’s diversion trap, go!” The sound of the wind followed, and they have gone far.

Xiao Yu’er heaved another sigh of relief, and smiled bitterly, “You really scared me.”

Third Missy replied slowly, “Rest assured that I will not harm you. I can only help you to leave after luring them away.”

She grabbed an overcoat and draped it over Xiao Yu’er, “Wear this, I’ll bring you out.”

Xiao Yu’er could not explain how he felt, and only muttered, “Women…. Now even I cannot fathom what kind of a creature women are!”

“What did you say?” Third Missy enquired.

“Nothing, I’m saying… you’re the most honest girl I’ve ever met.”

Luckily, Third Missy is of a big build, so the overcoat fitted Xiao Yu’er well, and the two of them sauntered out into the corridor.

Third Missy brought Xiao Yu’er to a side door and opened in. Turning around, the pale starlight shone directly on Xiao Yu’er’s stubborn, roguish but charismatic face.

Sighing softly, Third Missy asked, “You… you will see me again?”

Laughingly, he replied, “Naturally I will, I will today…”

As he spoke, he hurried away.

Third Missy gazed at his disappearing back, lost, and felt something in her heart. She does not know if it’s sorrow, or joy, but it’s something she has never felt before in her life.

Xiao Yu’er hurried back to the medical hall.

When he reached the street, the gold signboard of ‘Qing Yu Hall’ could be seen shimmering under the stars; and Xiao Yu’er slowed down his steps.

His nose sniffing and twitching left and right, his eyes searching and looking left and right, he suddenly squat down, murmuring, “That’s it…”

On the bright flagstone, specks of herbs could be seen, and there were more, about six, seven feet in front. Xiao Yu’er used both his nose and eyes and followed the trail.

It turned out that when he used the pebble to hit the bag of herbs the two men bought this afternoon, it tore a small hole in the bag, which flakes of herbs fell out. He only need to follow the trail of the herbs and he would naturally be able to find out where the herbs had been sent to. He may be young, but he is thorough. Not only has he laid down the clues earlier, he also deduced that the streets would be deserted in the middle of the night, and there would be no one to step and mess up the trail.

Later, he need not even lower his head to search. With the cool night wind blowing the scent of the herbs, he will not be lost.

After walking for a while, the path became more and more desolate, and there was a pond in front, the ripples clear.

Not far from this pond, there was indeed a courtyard. Although not as exquisite as Duan He Fei’s courtyard, but in the deserted surroundings, it’s manner looked even more imposing. The bags of herbs were sent to this courtyard.

Xiao Yu’er hesitated for a while and glanced around. It was the middle of the night and yet the lamps in the courtyard were lighted up, and on the darkly painted door was a sign “Heavenly Fragrance Pond, Earthly Spirited Villa, Zhao” (Tian Xiang Tang, Di Ling Zhuang, Zhao).

Xiao Yu’er thought to himself, “Look at this grandeur, this Zhao person is not only rich and influential, he must be from the Martial Arts world as well. They are not sleeping so late at night; they must be up to no good.”

He has always been startlingly brave, and with his martial arts improving by leaps and bounds recently, he is all the more nonchalant, and flew straight towards the light source.

It was a reception room. Xiao Yu’er hanged under the eave and wetting his little finger with his saliva, poked a small hole on the paper window. There were four people sitting in the reception room drinking.

His observed that on the left corner of the room, there were big and small packets of herbs, obviously these are Monkshood, cinnamon, rhinoceros horn, bear’s gall… Someone said, “No matter what, with the presence of the three of you at my villa, your humble one is truly privileged; let me offer a toast to you again.”

This person who was sitting on the main chair was tall and thin, with a horse like face, brows shaped like a broom, a hooked nose, peaked cheekbones and sharp eyes, and looked as if he is of some stature.

Xiao Yu’er secretly commented, “This person must be surnamed Zhao.”

Another person laughed, “Master Zhao has said this many times, and have toasted us many times, if you continue to be so polite with us, my brother and I would feel ill at ease.”

The third person chuckled, “Actually, to become guests of Master Zhao, is truly our honor. My brother and I should offer a toast to Master Zhao instead.”

These two people have the same rounded face, fat necks and eyes which closed up when they smiled, with a slow speech, and looked identical.

Xiao Yu’er secretly laughed, “These two fatties are made from the same mould. There are so many twins in the world, but few looked as alike to each other as these two brothers.”

He could not recognize these three people, neither could he guess why they would want to harm Tie Xin Lan. He was feeling baffled when he suddenly saw the fourth person turn his head.

This person has a head full of white hair with silvery beard, his aura dignified, and turned out to be who everyone in the Martial Arts world praised as the Jiang Hu leader of San Xiang, ‘Values talent as much as one’s life’ Tie Wushuang.

Seeing him, Xiao Yu’er was truly taken aback.

So the person who put the poison is Tie Wushuang!

No wonder Tie Xinlan trusted him, and ate the snacks without any suspicions. The seven words ‘Values talent as much as one’s life’ Tie Wushang, naturally everyone would believe him.

He never thought that this Tie Wushuang is like Jiang Bie He, full of justice and humanity on the outside, but with the heart of snakes and scorpions inside. But why would he want to harm Tie Xinlan?
