"Let's go. I'll lead the way out," Xiao Se said, nodding toward the door. Outside, two guards from Wan Yao Zhai stood watch.
Smiling lightly, Xiao Yixian replied, "Don't worry, I'm not completely unprepared. Yesterday, that old man surnamed Yao came and hinted that I should hand over the so-called Xuan-level technique. I served him a cup of tea."
Xiao Se's eyes lit up, "You poisoned that old bastard?"
"Yes, with a slow-acting poison from the Seven Colors Poison Sutra. It's very hard to detect. If he doesn't get the antidote within a month, even a Dou Shi would die." Xiao Yixian said, smiling as she placed the last jade bottle into her storage ring.
"It looks like that old bastard is in for some bad luck. Offending you, the little poison master, is truly unfortunate," Xiao Se said with a sigh.
"What did you just say?" Hearing Xiao Se call her "little poison master," Xiao Yixian glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Nothing, nothing. Let's go," Xiao Se said, opening the door and gesturing for her to proceed.
"That's better," Xiao Yixian said with satisfaction, nodding as she stepped out.
The two guards outside saw Xiao Yixian coming out with a stranger and immediately blocked their way, exchanging glances.
One guard said in a detached tone, "Without the master's orders, Xiao Yixian cannot leave this room."
"The kid behind you should leave before he gets himself into trouble," the other guard added coldly.
Many people in Qingshan Town had received favors from Xiao Yixian. The guards thought Xiao Se was just another hot-blooded youth wanting to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress.
"Hehe, I'm just a doctor hired by Mr. Yao. I didn't sign any contract of servitude with him. Where I go is none of his business," Xiao Yixian said, lifting her red lips in a cold smile.
"That's not acceptable. Wan Yao Zhai is under the master's control, and everyone must follow his orders."
"You…" Just as Xiao Yixian was about to get angry, Xiao Se's voice came from behind, "Xiao Yixian, reasoning with them won't work. Leave it to me."
"Okay," Xiao Yixian said, nodding slightly and stepping back behind Xiao Se.
Xiao Se slowly walked between the two guards, saying nothing, but his lips curled into a mysterious arc.
In a few moves, he knocked out the guards and made his way forward.
At the estate's exit, Xiao Se and Xiao Yixian ran into Mr. Yao, who had just returned to Wan Yao Zhai.
Mr. Yao looked at Xiao Se, then at Xiao Yixian, and finally his gaze fell on the fearful guards. He scolded, "What are you waiting for? Hurry and capture Xiao Yixian. Don't let them escape!"
However, after witnessing Xiao Se's strength, the guards who had previously obeyed Mr. Yao now hesitated to act.
Seeing that no one responded to his orders, Mr. Yao realized something was wrong and smiled at Xiao Yixian, saying, "Xiao Yixian, where are you going? Why didn't you inform me before leaving?"
Xiao Yixian coldly smiled and walked to Xiao Se's side, whispering, "Be careful. Mr. Yao is a one-star Dou Shi, and even the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu She, wouldn't dare provoke him easily.."
Xiao Se nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Xiao Yixian stepped in front of Xiao Se and said, "At this point, Mr. Yao, there's no need to put on any more pretense. Instead, you should check if you have a bruise about half a foot long on your left elbow."
Mr. Yao's heart tightened as he rolled up his sleeve and indeed found a bruise. His eyes widened with rage, and he pointed at Xiao Yixian, "You poisoned me?"
"Hehe, Mr. Yao, my tea isn't easy to drink. In a month, the bruise will spread to your heart, and you'll be doomed. Of course, you can also choose to amputate that arm right now," Xiao Yixian said with a calm smile.
Her gentle voice echoed in Mr. Yao's ears. Although it was still hot in the evening, Mr. Yao felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole. He never expected that the usually gentle and kind Xiao Yixian could be so calculating.
