The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

If he had a choice, Xiao Yi wouldn't want to step into that study again.

But there was no way around it. His weakness was in that person's hands, and from now on, he could only obediently listen and be that person's lackey.

Otherwise, if the events of that year were exposed, the families and friends of the four dead experts would definitely seek revenge, and the martial arts world wouldn't let him off either.

So, despite his reluctance, Xiao Yi still had to knock on that door.

"Come in," Song Zhongwen's voice came from inside, laced with a hint of excitement beneath the venom.

Xiao Yi pushed the door open, not daring to look directly at those snake-like eyes, and said softly, "Young Master, news has come that Gu Caiwei has already entered Lu Jing's room, and she... hasn't come out."

"Good!" Song Zhongwen was practicing calligraphy, and upon hearing this, he threw the brush down and laughed loudly.

His laughter reached Xiao Yi's ears, and it felt as if someone was constantly scraping a copper gong with a small knife, making Xiao Yi feel extremely uncomfortable.

He lowered his body again, wanting to take his leave, but unexpectedly, Song Zhongwen stopped him again, and then asked triumphantly, "How is my poisonous plan?"

A chill arose in Xiao Yi's heart, but on the surface, he had to remain respectful and try to flatter Song Zhongwen, echoing, "Young Master's talent and wisdom are unparalleled, truly worthy of being called all-knowing."

"Then tell me, where exactly is my talent and wisdom unparalleled?" At this moment, Song Zhongwen was like a painter who had just finished a painting that satisfied him, or a chess player who had made a brilliant move, eager to share it with someone, and Xiao Yi, who had participated throughout the process, was naturally the best straight man.

Xiao Yi swallowed, "Shopkeeper Wang and the others had already turned to Young Master long ago, acting as your inside men, passing on Gu Caiwei's every move to you in a timely manner. It's laughable that Gu Caiwei has lost all popular support, yet she remains unaware, writing a letter to her cousin in the capital, thinking she's being secretive, but little does she know that the contents of the letter have long been known to you."

Song Zhongwen waved his hand upon hearing this, "Those are all things of the past, what's the point of mentioning them? Just talk about the present."

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded hastily,整理了一下思路接着道.

"Shopkeeper Wang and the others turning to you is actually a pleasant surprise. The initial inside man you chose wasn't him, because Shopkeeper Wang is ultimately an outsider to Gu Caiwei, and the person Gu Caiwei trusts the most is actually the wet nurse Xiuxiu, who grew up with her since childhood."

"Not bad, continue," Song Zhongwen sat in his grandmaster chair, gleefully.

"Xiuxiu has always regarded Gu Caiwei as her own sister and is very loyal to Gu Caiwei. And most importantly, she and Gu Caiwei are not locals of Wujiang City. They won't have second thoughts about leaving Wujiang City like Shopkeeper Wang and the others."

"Yes, Gu Caiwei trusts her for a reason. They have a deep relationship, and she has no reason to betray Gu Caiwei at all," Song Zhongwen sighed hypocritically, "What should we do?"

"Young Master, you taught us that in this kind of situation, we can usually start with the target's relatives," Xiao Yi replied, "But Xiuxiu came from a brothel, and her parents are no longer alive. She may still have relatives in this world, but her relatives are not in Wujiang City, and the relationship between them is also ordinary. She won't betray Gu Caiwei for the sake of a few relatives she's never met."

"It's really a headache..."

"But after investigation, you discovered that Xiuxiu actually... has a lover in Wujiang City, a poor scholar, and he likes to gamble. Xiuxiu hasn't dared to introduce him to Gu Caiwei because of this bad habit, and this person can be used by us."

"Love and so many years of master-servant relationship, that woman named Xiuxiu must be very conflicted... But the debt collectors in the gambling den are about to chop off one of her lover's hands. At this time, she seems to have no choice," Song Zhongwen said leisurely.

"Yes, today Shopkeeper Wang and Xiuxiu sent news separately, one said that the guy named Lu was planning to kidnap your accountant, and the other said that the guy named Lu was preparing to directly attack you. So you deduced that Gu Caiwei wanted to find out your inside men around her."

"Then you used a trick within a trick and sent people to protect the accountant."

"There's no way around it. The back of my hand and the palm are both flesh, but in terms of usefulness, Xiuxiu is much greater than Shopkeeper Wang. I can only sacrifice Shopkeeper Wang."

"You deliberately waited until the city gates were closed before taking action, because you knew that Gu Caiwei would definitely let the guy named Lu stay overnight."

Xiao Yi swallowed and continued.

"It doesn't matter if she forgets, I'll have Xiuxiu remind her," Song Zhongwen smiled sinisterly, "Falling into the mortal world, this poison from Myriad Poisons Valley is good in every way, but the taste is too strong. As long as you have a little vigilance, you'll basically realize something is wrong after tasting a bit. It's not easy to get the guy named Lu to drink it obediently."

"But this is normal. If this poison was tasteless and odorless, Myriad Poisons Valley would have dominated the martial arts world long ago and wouldn't have been uprooted by others."

Xiao Yi's heart grew even colder upon hearing this. He didn't expect Song Zhongwen to go to such lengths to poison Lu Jing.

To have Xiuxiu encourage her beloved woman to climb onto Lu Jing's bed willingly.

Most people wouldn't even think of doing something like this, let alone actually do it.

Song Zhongwen was not only ruthless to others, but he didn't even spare himself!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi moved his gaze slightly upward and saw that one of the armrests of the grandmaster chair had been broken off by Song Zhongwen at some point, and the wooden thorns at the broken end had also pierced into Song Zhongwen's tightly clenched palm, but Song Zhongwen didn't seem to feel the pain at all.

Still not letting go!

He murmured in a hoarse, venomous voice, "I not only want to destroy that guy named Lu's martial arts, but I also want that bitch Gu Caiwei to do it herself, so that she will live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life! Hahahaha, there's nothing more wonderful in this world than destroying one enemy with the hand of another."

Xiao Yi shuddered.

He had already secretly made up his mind that he must never be an enemy of the man in front of him!

Because the consequences of being his enemy were simply too terrible.

Even though he wasn't on the same side as Lu Jing and Gu Caiwei, he couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the tragedy that was happening in that room.

"Young Master, should we go over now?" Xiao Yi asked cautiously.

"Didn't you say that it takes at least half an hour for the medicine to take full effect? What's the rush?" Song Zhongwen stopped laughing, but the venom in his words was even stronger, "Besides, I still want Gu Caiwei and the guy named Lu to stay together for a while longer. This is a good show.

"Speaking of which, that guy named Lu is also a violent fellow. After realizing what's happened, he might just kill that bitch with one palm. Although it's a bit of a pity, this ending is not unacceptable. When the time comes, this young master will definitely uphold justice for Gu Caiwei," Song Zhongwen said righteously.
