After being hit in the face, Mr. Zhang spun around to deflect the attack, but he still couldn't understand. The poison he had given Tao Yaoye was one of his proudest concoctions; many cultivators had died from it. How could it have failed?
Tao Yaoye didn't answer. Once she confirmed that the parrot was indeed Miss Shang's, she became even more alert.
Everyone in the village knew about a talking demon bird flying around. If the Shang Family had simply sent someone to look for it, they would have found the parrot, and none of this would have happened.
The Shang Family's actions were clearly suspicious!
Adding to that was Miss Shang's standoffish attitude. Instead of dismissing them, it felt like she was warning them of danger in the Shang Family and urging them to leave immediately.
