Watching the young man’s despondent back, Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but secretly laugh. In fact, there was nothing wrong with what the young man had said earlier; it was just unfortunate he encountered soone like Xiao Wushuang. Several other hopefuls were also sent away by Xiao Wushuang for various reasons, so by the end of the day, no one had managed to cure Muyun, which made Mu Feng quite anxious. He quickly increased the reward, hoping more capable people would co. However, he would never have guessed that the real problem lay with Xiao Wushuang.
As more and more people ca, Xiao Wushuang found increasingly fewer reasons to send them away, as many of them were indeed capable of curing Muyun and their dical skill was in no way inferior to Xiao Wushuang’s.
As ti passed, Xiao Wushuang beca more uneasy, thinking that as long as Muyun was around, he wouldn’t have peace of mind. It suddenly dawned on him; he thought of killing Muyun, because only the dead can’t speak!
However, Xiao Wushuang wanted Muyun to die a natural death. Right now, Muyun was barely hanging on, and Xiao Wushuang was contemplating how to fabricate a natural death. Suddenly, he rembered a kind of drug his family had, a colorless and tasteless substance that would dissipate imdiately after ingestion and be undetectable.
However, this colorless and tasteless drug would turn into a potent poison upon contact with blood, a "seeing blood seals the throat" scenario. Just a small amount could be lethal, and there would be no way to trace how the deceased died. Wasn’t this exactly what Xiao Wushuang needed? Thinking of this, Xiao Wushuang quickly called his family.
"Wushuang? What’s up?" the person on the other end asked. Upon hearing this, Xiao Wushuang chuckled and revealed his purpose, "Brother, I need ’Blood-severed Intestines.’ That’s the na of the drug.
Hearing that Wushuang needed poison, the man on the other end of the phone was perplexed and quickly asked what he intended to do. To his surprise, Xiao Wushuang, without any hesitation, said directly into the phone, "I need to eliminate soone!" Xiao Wushuang’s expression turned fierce.
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line laughed as well and jokingly asked, "So, who’s pissed you off this ti?" When he saw that person joking, Xiao Wushuang also smiled and said, "No one’s angered , but he has to die!"
After hearing this from Xiao Wushuang, the person did not say anything further and agreed to send it to him. Xiao Wushuang urged him to hurry because, like Xiao Yifei, he couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
Once the person agreed, Xiao Wushuang didn’t bother with further words and hung up the phone. The matter of killing Muyun was settled, and the thod was figured out: a way that would leave no trace. In ti, besides Muyun’s natural death, no one would reach a different conclusion.
And his deeds would be forever overshadowed by Muyun’s death. He would remain the Xiao Family’s Divine Doctor, while Xiao Yifei was destined to be scorned for a lifeti. Xiao Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh at this thought, thinking Xiao Yifei would eventually regret opposing him.
Contemplating this, Xiao Wushuang glanced at the unconscious Muyun on the bed. Muyun, oh Muyun, the first young master of Beijing, would die in such disgrace. People would laugh for a lifeti if word got out. Wouldn’t it be better for you to sacrifice yourself and fulfill my plan? At least, I’m quite grateful in my heart, haha.
Xiao Wushuang’s thoughts were quite terrifying; it’s uncertain how Mu Feng would react if he knew. However, at this mont, Mu Feng had complete trust in Xiao Wushuang and didn’t believe he would do such a thing, thus leaving the danger quietly approaching Muyun undetected.
At this mont, Xiao Yifei was growing increasingly anxious with each passing day, wondering why there had been no news from his informants. Just as Xiao Yifei was thinking about this, one of Hua Lao’s subordinates returned abruptly. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei quickly walked over to inquire about the situation at Muyun’s residence. Upon hearing this, the man said a few words and handed a blueprint to Xiao Yifei.
As soon as Xiao Yifei glanced at it, he realized it was an aerial map of Muyun’s residence. Taking the blueprint, Xiao Yifei nodded and dismissed the man. At this mont, Hua Lao also found Xiao Yifei, for he had heard his subordinate had returned.
Upon seeing the blueprint, Hua Lao couldn’t help but lean over. The map had many places circled in red, indicating guards’ positions and movent routes, which were all mapped out. Seeing the map, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but admire how sharp the execution was, worthy of Yuan Suai’s n.
Despite his admiration, Xiao Yifei cald himself to study the map. However, after examining it for a long ti, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, just like Hua Lao.
They discovered that sneaking in covertly was as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Looking at the security personnel inside and outside Muyun’s residence, everyone exchanged glances, realizing there was nothing they could do at that mont.
"The defense is this tight, how can we get in?" Hua Lao looked at the map, annoyed, clearly exasperated by the shrewd Mu Feng.
Xiao Yifei could only awkwardly smile. Initially, he thought Hua Lao’s plan was feasible, but after such an investigation, Xiao Yifei was sowhat dumbfounded. Now, even the only thod he considered viable was futile; was Xiao Yifei now left with no choice but to sit and wait for death?
For a mont, everyone was at a loss for what to do. Just then, a person walked in from outside, and when Xiao Yifei turned his head, he saw it was Qianxi.
Seeing everyone gathered together, Qianxi was puzzled and asked, "What are you all doing?" Hearing Qianxi’s voice, everyone turned their attention to her.
Due to Qianxi’s previous actions, Hua Lao’s expression towards her was not pleasant. Upon hearing, Xiao Yifei gave a bitter smile and then shook his head.
"What are you here for?" Hua Lao, already irritable, spoke more stiffly upon seeing Qianxi. Seeing Hua Lao’s unfriendly deanor, Qianxi felt a bit embarrassed, but she accepted it, knowing she had brought it upon herself. However, as long as the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was found, all would be resolved.
Thus, Qianxi explained that she ca to inquire about the situation of the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. Just upon hearing "Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle," Xiao Yifei gave a bitter laugh. The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle? At this point, he didn’t even know if he could save himself.
Seeing everyone’s grim expressions after ntioning the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Qianxi felt even more puzzled. However, everyone just sighed without explaining the reason to Qianxi, which suddenly frustrated her.
"Why are you all just sighing here? Can soone explain what’s happening?" Qianxi yelled angrily. Being yelled at, Xiao Yifei was startled and, seeing Qianxi about to lose her temper, quickly explained everything in detail.
After hearing Xiao Yifei’s explanation, Qianxi cald down, but Hua Lao, still annoyed, said, "And what if I explain it to you? Do you have a plan to help Xiao Yifei?"
