1453 I’ll Play With You 2 (1/2)

But what was really strange was that after they awoke, they all acted like nothing had happened at all, none have them having any memory of having been knocked unconscious at all. For a period of time after they woke up, they were all acting like they had lost their memory, each of them just going back to the places they were supposed to be at, and then coming fully awake only a moment later, reverting back to normal.

That strange scene, was enough to cause the hair on the City Lord to stand, making him realize that Jun Wu Xie was truly unfathomable.

Jun Wu Xie had received the City Lord's secret letter very quickly. The City Lord had revealed Luo Xi's intentions in the letter and based on what she understood about Luo Xi, Jun Wu Xie made her own guesses on the methods Luo Xi would use soon after.

”It will just be another round of child's play.” Jun Wu Xie said as she held the letter over the candle flame, watching it being engulfed bit by bit.

Jun Wu Yao sat directly across from her, a faint smile across his lips. ”Little Xie seems to be very disappointed?”

”Do I?” Jun Wu Xie asked, her eyebrow lifting slightly.

Jun Wu Yao then replied with a laugh: ”You're right. The fact that Luo Xi would think of using such childish methods to want to create trouble for you, it is really rather funny.”

When it came to skills with poisons and antidotes, Jun Wu Yao had never met anyone who was more outstanding than Jun Wu Xie was. Even though she was born in the Lower Realm, her expertise with medicine and skill with poison had even astounded him at times.

Sometimes, Jun Wu Yao was also very curious where Jun Wu Xie had picked up her abilities from. It seemed like she was already equipped with all of that from the moment he had first met her.

Anyone who dared to try to show Jun Wu Xie up with medicine or poison would all just end up humiliating themselves.

”Luo Xi and the revered one are in communication with each other. I will only need to force Luo Xi into a corner with no other way out for him and the person behind him will naturally make a move.” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently.

The bait had been hooked and the line cast, all she had to do was to wait for the fish to bite.

In the deep of night and all was still, several suspicious shadowy figures infiltrated into the rows of lofts in the city's north. The moon was high up in the sky and the place was quiet so late at night. The several men silently gathered together and one of them distributed several palm sized paper packets into the hand of every single one of them as he said in a low whisper: ”All of you listen closely. This drug kills upon contact with blood. All of you are to toss them into the water of all the nearby wells. Do not miss out any one of them.”
