Thus the matter became significant.

All wolf-dogs fell into a deep sleep and couldn't be awakened. People could easily discern that there was something wrong. Those wolf-dogs were raised to guard the entrance. Why would they be dazed? Was there anyone harboring unkind thoughts toward The Wu's?

Therefore the Wu Family came into a state of extreme nervousness at their fainting.

The Wu Family had carried out a double-check on the origin of the fainting. As the resource of drinking water, the tank had already been investigated many times. But half a month went by with no evidence being found. During the investigation, people learned that Junior Leopard had bought medicinal materials outside. But lately, they figured out that all Junior Leopard brought were normal medicinal materials which seemed not to be able to cause such a huge effect. Thus, suspicion of Junior Leopard was quelled.

Such an investigation lasted half a month. And those dogs slept for half a month and thus died. It was not because the anesthetic pill was poisonous but because they hadn't eaten or drunk for half a month and their bodies couldn't support them anymore.

The strong efficacy was totally beyond Junior Leopard's expectation.

The wolf-dogs were dead. The investigation lasted half a month with no result. Finally, the Wu Family ironware shop came back to quiet down little by little as nothing was stolen. Though it was very strange, they were truly helpless. After those dogs' death, the Wu Family brought in other dozens of wolf-dogs, which were more savage and robust.

Junior Leopard, the initiator of evil and the biggest beneficiary, was extremely delight for the next one or two months. His handcrafts that were made recently were more elaborate than before. He even forged several excellent weapons which earned him much praise.

Junior Leopard laughed off the praise. He paid no attention to that.

The Anesthetic Pill can be melted into the water immediately. With the characteristics of colorlessness and transparency, I can use it to play tricks without being detected. Bravo!

Junior Leopard ground the rest pills into powder and put it in a china bottle. Then the bottle was carried with him all the time

Life returned to peace again. The event of the wolf-dogs' death was of no more significance than being a topic of conversation during people's leisure.

Junior Leopard lived as usual, too. Every day he either forged iron or practiced martial arts. He was satisfied with his present life. Each month, Junior Leopard could hand in iron wares that pleased Qin Xuanlong very much. So Qin Xuanlong felt very relieved. At the same time, however, he supervised Junior Leopard quite strictly. He had the same thought as Old Xing of hoping that Junior Leopard would attend The Selection Contest of the Wu Family after he was ten. As long as Junior Leopard was chosen, his status would be promoted as carps jumping over the Dragon Gate. Especially as smart as Junior Leopard was, there was no doubt the leaders of the Wu Family would pay attention to him. What was more, Junior Leopard was very likely to be accepted as an Elder's disciple and then enter into the high ranks of the Wu Family.

Therefore Qin Xuanlong cared little about Junior Leopard's monthly task. On the contrary, he paid more attention to Junior Leopard's martial arts skills, especially to the practice of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and the Hammering Skill of Nine-styled Hammering Skill.

Qin Xuanlong would even stand aside to remind Junior Leopard from time to time that he should taste the essence of Nine-styled Hammering Skill with his heart while Junior Leopard was forging irons.
