Chapter 478: Chapter 480 The Exposure of the Conspiracy (Part 5)
“Little sister, what happened?”
Xiao Feng sensed the surge of hostility from the woman beside him and couldn’t help but be startled. He turned his gaze toward her, and concern showed in his cold eyes.
Mu Ruyue shook her head, “Nothing, just feeling a bit restless. Perhaps I’m overthinking. Big brother, are you really going back to the Xiao Family alone?”
Ever since she learned who was behind Xiao Yun’s demise, Mu Ruyue no longer had any reason to stay with the Xiao Family, and naturally, the Xiao Family didn’t want them to return.
Yet for so reason, today Third Master Xiao had extended an invitation to Mu Ruyue in Xiao Baixuan’s na…
“Don’t worry,” Xiao Feng said affectionately as he ruffled Mu Ruyue’s hair, “I have now reached the Dark Origin Realm, and unless those secluded elders of the Xiao Family challenge , no one else is a match for .”
Despite his words, Mu Ruyue still felt uneasy.
What’s the Xiao Family’s real motive for inviting big brother?
“The Alchemy Tower has been on the right track these days, and we don’t need to be too wary of the Xiao Family. Besides, now that elixir masters and martial artists have been joining the Alchemy Tower in succession, the Xiao Family won’t dare to antagonize so many pharmacists on the continent.”
That was true indeed.
But then, caution never did any harm…
“Big brother, I’ll accompany you.”
“There’s no need, little sister. Just wait for in the Alchemy Tower.” Xiao Feng smiled and patted her head before turning to leave.
The Xiao Family hall.
Third Master Xiao seed sowhat anxious, his gaze flitting toward the door from ti to ti. When he saw the man stepping in, his eyes finally lit up.
“Where’s the Family Head?” Xiao Feng asked bluntly, going straight to the point.
“Cough cough,” Third Master Xiao cleared his throat twice, “There’s no rush for that, Xiao Feng. Please, have a seat first. Soone, bring the tea!”
Xiao Feng’s brow furrowed, but he still sat down, taking the teacup offered by the maid.
As he lifted the cup, Third Master Xiao deliberately didn’t look at the tea in his hands, and therefore, completely failed to notice anything amiss…
If he had been watching, maybe Xiao Feng would have sensed sothing wrong with the drink.
Watching the man gulp down the tea, Third Master Xiao was inwardly ecstatic and hurriedly signaled to soone next to him.
That person understood and imdiately retreated…
“Clatter!”
The teacup slipped from the man’s grasp and shattered to pieces.
Third Master Xiao chuckled and said, “Soone, help him to rest.”
“Yes, Family Head!”
…
Within the quiet courtyard, the woman in yellow followed the servant down the winding path, her elegant and stunning face gradually showing a trace of doubt.
“Where are you taking ?”
“Lady Tianyu, Young Master Xiao Feng is waiting for you. I will take you to him now.”
At those words, Yao Tianyu’s brows knitted, yet she didn’t overthink it.
The door was pushed open, and when Yao Tianyu stepped inside, the open door was promptly shut again…
She frowned and looked toward the man on the bed.
The handso face of the man was flushed, his eyes muddled with desire, and his partly open clothes revealed his robust chest. As he felt the gust of fragrance wafting toward him, the restlessness in his heart grew even more intense.
Yao Tianyu seed not to hear his words. Her gaze fell on the man’s sharply defined handso face, and she raised an eyebrow to ask, “You’re Xiao Feng, it seems that you’ve taken an elixir. I wonder if it was on purpose or accidental? Or, perhaps this is your sche?”
In Yao Tianyu’s view, the Xiao Family didn’t have the guts to drug Xiao Feng and harm themselves, but then, why would Xiao Feng do such a thing?
