Chapter 1614 - The one behind the scenes (2/2)

It wasn’t that he wasn’t proficient in poison, but that the ones Sima You Yue took out would always be peculiar or extremely tricky ones. However, Great Master Ji didn’t care that he was being suppressed. He always became excited when he saw Sima YoU yues methods.

The both of them really enjoyed messing around the entire time.

Sima You Yue took the piece of paper and looked at it. She didn’t react immediately. Instead, she placed it on the table and used her right hand to knock on the piece of paper lightly.

“Old Ji, you should know about Tao Yi Xuan’s situation along with what I want to do, right?” She asked.

“I do, why do you ask?”

“Have you ever thought about going to tell the patriarch and the others?”

Great Master Ji rolled his eyes, saying, “For what reason would I tell them?”

“Aren’t you guys working together?”

“Who said that I was working together with them?”

Sima You Yue was stunned, was he not?

“They’re surnamed Tao while my surname is Ji. I’m not from their clan, and I’m not even their guest. What we have between us is merely a deal. They give me a peaceful life and I provide them with poisons. That’s all. I don’t get involved in their struggles and definitely don’t belong under them.” Great Master Ji said, “If I can stay here, then I will. If I can’t, then I’ll just leave. I don’t need them.”

“…”

Sima You Yue didn’t think that they would actually have this sort of relationship.

“Then do you know who was the one who wanted the Hundred Flora Worm poison?” She asked.

“I don’t know. I just know that the person had the Patriarch’s waist token in his hand. I’ve only ever recognised the token and not people. I don’t really pay attention to the people in the clan. That’s why although I didn’t know them, I still gave them the poison.” Great Master JI knew that she wanted to ask him about what happened back then, so he told her all he knew.

The Patriarch’s token? If it wasn’t him, then it was someone who had a good relationship with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain that token.

“You Yue, since we’re chatting, shouldn’t we have some fine wine and side dishes, deserts and then fruits?” Great Master Ji asked.

After eating what she cooked yesterday, he was greedy again.

Sima You Yue saw him acting that way and knew that if she wanted to get more information from him, she had to first satisfy his requests. As such, she didn’t ask him any more question and went to cook four side dishes along with a bottle of wine. She even took out a tray of spirit fruits.

Great Master Ji ate a Heartless Fruit. Although he had been poisoned because of it, he didn’t let it stop his love for it.

Sima You Yue sat back down and poured some wine for Great Master Ji before pouring some for herself. Then, she asked, “I know about the poison, but what about the antidote? Did you give it to him as well? Or did you give it to him after?”

“The Patriarch came to take it from me personally later on.” Great Master Ji took a drink of wine, “At that time, I even asked why he had only come to take the antidote from me after such a long time had passed. He said: I forgot about it. His expression was even a little unnatural. Although I could tell, I said before that I’m not interested in the issues regarding the clan. So, I didn’t ask much and just gave him the antidote. Later on, I heard that the Young Master had secretly been poisoned by someone and had already escaped a long time ago.

Sima You Yue listened up to this point and had already guessed most of it. The one who poisoned him probably wasn’t Tao Yi Xuan’s father. It seemed like this point might bring him some comfort. However, his father definitely still participated in it later on, it was just that she didn’t know which part he participated in.

As for the person behind the scenes, it was probably someone that Patriarch Tao wanted to protect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken on the name of the perpetrator.

Someone who hated Tao Yi Xuan to the bone and wanted to get rid of him quickly… there would be a few of them. However, someone that Patriarch Tao wanted to protect, not so many.
