Chapter 114: Ghost Clan of Southern Xinjiang
Slave Bi had met Xu Chengxuan at the Lantern Festival a year ago. At that time, Xu Chengxuan was still a child who looked like he was still wet behind the ears. However, Slave Bi had taken a fancy to him because there was hostility in this child’s eyes.
It was not easy to obtain Xu Chengxuan’s appreciation, but it was not difficult for Slave Bi. He had only used a small trick to teach a thief a lesson on Xu Chengxuan’s behalf. Actually, anyone could teach a little thief a lesson, but it would take some effort to make Xu Chengxuan appreciate it.
All along, Slave Bi had been obedient to Xu Chengxuan. Not only did he help him remove many obstacles, but he also taught him some poison skills. Xu Chengxuan thought that he was loyal to him, but little did he know that Slave Bi had a motive from the beginning.
Of course, his goal was not Xu Chengxuan, nor was it the Xu family. It was just that Xu Chengxuan’s status as the young master could greatly facilitate his actions. As long as they had what they needed, he would not let Xu Chengxuan down.
However, Slave Bi never expected Xu Chengxuan to ask him to deal with a village girl. Xu Chengxuan was really becoming more and more abnormal. What was there to be afraid of a girl? Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he had to change to a new place.!!
Slave Bi watched as Yu Wan finished the porridge in her bowl. The corners of his lips curled up as he picked up his bowl and finished his own. That kid was nothing to be afraid of. Everything would be over as long as this girl died.
Slave Bi bade farewell to Yu Wan in a good mood. He didn’t even notice that the medicine bottle placed back on the table had become light because he was too proud of himself.
“It’s over.” He laughed evilly at the sky.
Bang! He fell to the ground…
How, how could this be? This intense pain of all his internal organs twisting…
Could it be that… he was also poisoned?! That was impossible. Didn’t he swap the two bowls of porridge?
The poison spread in his body without giving Slave Bi a time to think. He quickly took out a small gourd.
Ant-antidote…
However, the poison was too strong. The small gourd fell to the ground with a shake of his hand and rolled to the side of the small fish pond that had long stopped raising fish.
Slave Bi crawled over with difficulty and reached out to pick it up with trembling hands. Just as he was about to touch the little gourd, an embroidered shoe suddenly stepped on the little gourd.
Slave Bi looked up along the embroidered shoe and was instantly stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief. Why would he see this person here? Wasn’t this person already…
“You… you… you…” Slave Bi used all his strength, but he realized that he could not make a complete sound in his throat.
The owner of the embroidered shoe smiled slightly, revealing a bright and moving smile.
Crackle!
The small gourd was broken by the embroidered shoe, and the antidotes rolled into the water one by one.
Slave Bi’s veins bulged as he pounced over crazily! The owner of the embroidered shoe calmly gathered the sleeves and left without taking a cloud.
… .
“Mom is back. Is the matter of Aunt Zhang done so quickly?” Yu Wan said as she put down her half-finished dinner.
Madam Jiang smiled and nodded. “I’m done.”
Yu Wan asked, “You haven’t eaten, right? I thought you would eat at Aunt Zhang’s house, so I didn’t wait for you. Take a seat first. I’ll go get it.”
“Is Ah Wan very happy that I went out?” Madam Jiang said.
Yu Wan nodded. “Yes, you need to walk around the village more and not stay at home alone all day. Actually, you don’t need to do much, but it’s good for you to go out and talk to people and relax.”
Madam Jiang smiled gently. “Ah Wan is really a considerate child.”
… .
The next morning, a male corpse floated up from the abandoned fish pond.
Shadow Six was the first to discover the corpse. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the corpse. After fishing the corpse out, he moved it to his backyard.
Uncle Wan covered his nose in disdain. “Why are you moving this thing back to the courtyard? It’s bad luck!”
“Young Master, this is the vagrant who entered the village to beg yesterday. He was fine when he came, but now…” Shadow Six flipped over Slave Bi’s blackened nails. “He’s poisoned.”
Shadow Thirteen also came over to check. “He was poisoned before he drowned.”
Uncle Wan suddenly said, “I remember now. Didn’t he go to Miss Yu’s house to beg yesterday? Miss Yu even welcomed him in.”
The nonchalant Yan Jiuchao finally looked at the corpse. He seemed to have sensed something and his eyes tightened slightly. “Check his chest.”
“Understood!” Shadow Thirteen tore his clothes apart, revealing his chest that had long turned white from the water. However, there was a dark green ghost fire totem on his pale skin.
Shadow Thirteen was stunned. “This is…”
Shadow Six frowned and said, “The Ghost Clan of the Southern Xinjiang.”
“Ghost… ghost?” Uncle Wan’s face turned pale.
Shadow Six explained, “There aren’t really ghosts. They’re elusive and their whereabouts are hidden. They’re just called the Ghost Clan.”
Uncle Wan hurriedly patted his chest. “You scared me to death. I really thought I saw a ghost!”
Shadow Thirteen asked in confusion, “Young Master, why is the Ghost Clan from Southern Xinjiang here? Why is he looking for Miss Yu?”
Shadow Six said, “Shall I go and investigate?”
“Yes.” Yan Jiuchao nodded thoughtfully and turned to Shadow Thirteen. Shadow Thirteen dragged the corpse out to deal with it.
In terms of martial arts, Shadow Six was inferior to Shadow Thirteen, but in terms of gathering information, few people were Shadow Six’s match.
It was not difficult to guess that Yu Wan and Yu Feng went to the Capital. The siblings had left the village early and only returned in the evening. They must have gone to a very far place. They did not take the ox cart either, so that was a place that the ox cart could not reach. Shadow Six thought about Yu Wan’s interpersonal relationships and business and realized that only the Capital was left.
They had to rent a carriage to go to the Capital. The carriage shop was closed yesterday, and only the courier station was open. Shadow Six asked around at the courier station and found out that the two of them had gone to the Tianxiang Restaurant on Xuanwu Street.
“Young Master.” Before noon, Shadow Six replied, “It was Tianxiang Restaurant! The young master of Tianxiang Restaurant sent him to silence them!”
