An Dongye, Dong Fangbai, the Fire-Water Judges, and Jiao Fuping looked at each other. They suddenly felt as if their collective intelligence had just been shattered.
The short, stout man sighed. "We’ve paid the price for being uneducated."
At the sa ti, he realized that if Ye Xiu had intended to spare his life, he would never have posed such a tricky question. Obviously, Ye Xiu had never planned to let him leave alive!
"Kill yourselves," Ye Xiu said coldly.
"Thank you," the short, stout man said as he slapped his forehead.
Killing oneself was far more dignified than being murdered.
"Brother, wait for !"
Seeing the short, stout man commit suicide, the tall, thin man cried out in grief and killed himself by severing his heart’s ridians.
The two had not contemplated a desperate counterattack. They knew resisting was futile and would only lead to a more miserable death. Nor had they thought about escaping. True, if they had split up and fled, one of them might have escaped. However, their pride and self-respect would not allow them to do sothing as disgraceful as running away.
"Are you still planning to resist?" Ye Xiu asked in a cold voice, seeing that Jiao Fuping had not killed himself.
"I’m waiting for you to kill with your own hands." Jiao Fuping’s expression suddenly turned mocking, his mouth curling into the smirk of a successful scher. "Oh, you may not have noticed, but you no longer have the strength to kill ."
This statent stunned An Dongye and Dong Fangbai, who couldn’t understand why Jiao Fuping would say such a thing in his desperate situation.
Suddenly, An Dongye rembered sothing and exclaid, "Oh no! I forgot about the poison in the private room!"
"Poison?" Dong Fangbai was confused. "What poison?"
"Jiao Fuping put poison in the incense burner on the coffee table. It’s colorless and odorless. I lost all my Martial Prowess because I inhaled it," An Dongye said.
Dong Fangbai was startled and hurriedly inspected his Dantian, shocked to discover his Martial Prowess had vanished without a trace.
"Hahahahaha..." Jiao Fuping laughed triumphantly. He stood up and approached Ye Xiu with the air of a victor, saying, "Didn’t expect that, did you? You’re strong, so strong that even the Fire-Water Judges couldn’t withstand a single move from you. But you forgot who I am. I am a core disciple of dicine King Valley, a master of poison. I don’t need to use re force to kill you."
SMACK!
Before the words had even left his mouth, Ye Xiu slapped him across the face, sending him sprawling.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I am immune to all poisons," Ye Xiu said coldly, stepping on Jiao Fuping’s head.
Immune to all poisons? An Dongye and Dong Fangbai were imdiately overco with envy. Who in the world wouldn’t want a body immune to all poisons?
Upon hearing that Ye Xiu was immune, Jiao Fuping was instantly terrified. Lying on the ground with Ye Xiu’s foot on his head, he began to plead desperately, "Don’t kill ! No, please don’t kill ! Ye Xiu, oh no, Divine Doctor Ye, I was wrong! I was blind and I overestimated myself! I shouldn’t have been your enemy. Please, I’m begging you, don’t kill . Just treat like a fart and let go..."
At this mont, Jiao Fuping was out of tricks and finally overco with fear.
"Be on your way!" Ye Xiu showed no hesitation as he stomped down and broke Jiao Fuping’s neck. While Jiao Fuping’s consciousness was still fading, he said coldly, "Walk slowly across the Naihe Bridge. I’ll send everyone from the reformist faction of dicine King Valley to keep you company. You can all go drink ngpo Soup as a group."
Watching Ye Xiu kill Jiao Fuping, An Dongye breathed a sigh of relief. She would finally be free from marrying that piece of trash.
At the sa ti, she began to worry about Ye Xiu. "Little brother, the strength of dicine King Valley far exceeds your imagination. Even just the reformist faction is not sothing you can handle by yourself. You must be extrely careful when you eat, sleep, and go out."
Dong Fangbai said, his back still turned to Ye Xiu, "You killed Jiao Fuping and destroyed the marriage alliance between the Dongfang Family and dicine King Valley. The Dongfang Family won’t let you get away with this. You’re on your own now."
The Dongfang Family’s reformist faction was so eager to form a marriage alliance with dicine King Valley’s reformist faction for reasons beyond just re-entering the world. The most important reason was their desire to use dicine King Valley’s dical Skills to resolve a crisis within their family. If the Dongfang Family were to find out Ye Xiu had killed Jiao Fuping, it was hard to imagine how furious they would beco.
"Go back and tell your master that I can resolve the Dongfang Family’s crisis," Ye Xiu said. He found the Antidote on Jiao Fuping’s body, poured out two pills, and tossed one each to An Dongye and Dong Fangbai. He continued, "Of course, if the Dongfang Family doesn’t believe and insists on making their enemy, then I’ll have no choice but to wage war against them. I hope you won’t bla when that ti cos."
Because of An Dongye, Ye Xiu didn’t want to kill mbers of the Dongfang Family. But if they insisted on trying to kill him, he would be forced to defend himself.
"You know about the Dongfang Family’s crisis?" asked An Dongye.
Dong Fangbai was equally curious but didn’t ask. Instead, he kept the back of his head aid at Ye Xiu, waiting for an answer.
"The Dongfang Family’s crisis is the Blood Poison, isn’t it?" Ye Xiu asked.
The color drained from An Dongye and Dong Fangbai’s faces. An Dongye asked in shock, "How do you know that?"
"Don’t worry about how. You just need to know that I’m not deceiving you," Ye Xiu said.
An Dongye stared at Ye Xiu for three seconds and then broke into a smile. "Little brother, I believe you. I’ll go ho and personally tell my master what you said."
"Good," Ye Xiu nodded.
Dong Fangbai added, "Ye Xiu, I think there’s sothing you should know. According to my master, the leader of dicine King Valley’s reformist faction is a scher who hides daggers behind his smiles. Be careful if you run into him."
"What does ’hides daggers behind his smiles’ an?" An Dongye’s literacy didn’t extend to understanding the hidden aning of such idioms.
Dong Fangbai thought for a mont and then explained, "Hiding daggers behind a smile ans... hahaha... knife... hahaha."
Ye Xiu was speechless. Pressure King, are you being serious right now?
Ye Xiu left the KTV, carrying the sleeping Song Yushu.
