“What are you hesitating for, kill them for this chief elder!” he stammered to the people behind him.
The people glanced at their elder, then at Qian Jiyun.
Kill them?
It was easy for him to say, but even the elder couldn’t stand against these two, so how could they? If they rushed forward, it was more likely not that they would kill these two but that they would be the ones annihilated, right?
“Elder…”
After all, they were just pharmacists, with no great achievement in martial arts, and who isn’t afraid of dying?
Especially since just moments ago, they had watched their comrade die in agony before their eyes, they were even more frightened. Therefore, no one took the initiative to rush forward, all watching and waiting.
The two men in white robes were hesitant too. They knew how to kill and didn’t know how many they had killed already.
But were these two people before them really within their ability to kill?
However, they were not panicked. Although they were no match for those two in martial arts, they were pharmacists after all, and killing for them never required the use of a knife or a sword.
They would not make the same mistake as the elder had, knowing full well they were no match and yet still rushing out to get beaten.
Why not use poison?
Thus, actually, one of the men in white, under the cover of the elder’s robe, stealthily reached into his bosom and took out a packet of medicinal powder, preparing to strike at Qian Jiyun and company.
But before he could act, he felt a pair of sharp eyes locking onto him, and he immediately looked up.
“Planning to use poison?”
An Jiuyue looked at the man in white robe with a chuckle, asking softly.
“Those poisons of yours that only harm the user, do you think you can actually use them? Oh, maybe I should ask this way, once your poison is out, who do you think will end up poisoned?”
“You—”
The hand holding the porcelain bottle froze, and the man in white robe stared at An Jiuyue in astonishment.
From her words, she clearly disdained their poison. Could this woman also be a master of using poison?
But in Daqing Kingdom, he had never heard of anyone more skilled in poisoning than their Luoyang-Shao family, not even those who had gone to Huayan Peak.
Who could this person be?
“Exactly who are you? You do know that offending us will not end well for you?!”
Putting aside his curiosity, he squinted and questioned the two of them.
Now that their pharmacy room had been set ablaze, they still did not know where these two came from.
Considering the previous incident with the medicine boy being intercepted, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was done by these two.
But why?
Could it be that among those captured by Lan Zhengfeng, there was someone related to these two people?
That should be unlikely. Both of them were so formidable; their family members couldn’t possibly be easily captured by Lan Zhengfeng’s men—it was an absolute impossibility.
Moreover, he didn’t believe that there were such formidable people in Ming Gu County.
So they must have come from some other place, or perhaps…
“Did you come from the Luoyang Residence?” he guessed.
“You guessed quite accurately,”
An Jiuyue curled her lips, raising her eyebrows at the man in white robe and the elder.
“But you only got it half right. We did indeed come from the Luoyang Residence, but, you see, we are not people from there. As for why we came from the Luoyang Residence… do you want to know the reason?”
