Chapter 193: Trial, he’s very pleased (2/2)

The more she saw, the more enthralled she appeared. The more she saw, the more she lost herself. She thought, if she could learn a set of skills like Tang Li’s, she’d smear fatal poisons on the weapons. This way, even if she missed any vital points, it’d still kill the victims in a very short time. Thinking up to here, Han Yunxi suddenly realized she had the potential to be a dangerous force as well, and chuckled at herself.

Long Feiye still hadn’t left from his spot, but raised his eyebrow as he looked at her, feeling more and more satisfied.

Very good, this woman could still wear a face full of smiles and watch on leisurely in such a situation. She really did have the guts.

Cool and collected when dealing with problems, steady and composed, courageous and strategic, able to advance and retreat, and a set of high-level poison skills to boot. It’d be a waste to leave her by his side without using her skills. Long Feiye watched Han Yunxi as she watched Tang Li while the time passed by. Soon enough, Tang Li took care of all 100 assassins and left the mountain village with nothing but a mess of corpses! He stood amidst the bodies without a speck staining his white robes, his handsome face quiet, his eyebrows high and chilly. For an instant, he painted a desolate scene with his figure.

Han Yunxi only felt that this guy had suddenly reverted to looking like some otherworldly being again.

All right, that was a misconception.

Tang Li flew up to the building and glanced at the Poison Humans strewn on the ground. A look confirmed that they’d all died from Pear Blossom Rain Needles, one needle to each corpse. Although Pear Blossom Rain Needles were formidable, Han Yunxi had never used them before. For her to reach such standards on her first try really proved that Long Feiye had good eyes. Tang Li’s eyes recognized her worth before his appreciation quickly faded. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was to ask, “Where’s the Pear Blossom Rain Needles? Hand it over!”

His tone sounded like he was accusing her of misappropriating goods.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Yunxi handed over the Pear Blossom Rain Needles. She didn’t covet it a bit! The fussy Tang Li actually inspected it once to make sure it wasn’t broken and that only 10 needles had been used, before packing it up. Han Yunxi’s mouth twitched at the sight before she murmured, “Hey, these snow white robes don’t suit you at all, seriously.”

“What?” Tang Li didn’t hear her clearly.

“Nothing,” Han Yunxi chuckled.

Tang Li didn’t pursue the matter, but asked, “Where’s Long Feiye?”

How would Han Yunxi know? That hateful man had tossed her here before disappearing.

“He hasn’t come out yet?” Tang Li was surprised.

“Come out? He’s inside the house?” Han Yunxi was surprised too. When she looked inside the rooms, she only saw them empty. That’s right, she remembered Long Feiye saying there was a poison master inside that he wanted to leave alive.

“Something couldn’t have happened, right?” Tang Li was afraid. The reason Long Feiye wanted to eliminate this mountain village was to aim for that female poison master. Because he didn’t want to waste too much time and meet with an accident, he’d found him for help. Otherwise, Long Feiye could’ve handled the entire thing himself even with Poison Humans here. Now the entire village had been decimated, but he still hadn’t come out?

It was then that Long Feiye revealed himself from his hiding spot. He spared a glance for Tang Li and Han Yunxi before expressionlessly entering the rooms. Han Yunxi’s head felt like it was in a fog. She still didn’t know what this fellow was here for. Meanwhile, Tang Li chased after him in disbelief. “Long Feiye, you…where did you go just then?”

Long Feiye’s eyes turned fidgety, but he didn’t reply. His steps quickened. Truly, he should’ve gone inside much earlier, but he’d somehow delayed things to this extent. By the time he reached the center of the house, it was already too late. A female had killed herself inside the rooms, her breath long gone as she bled from her wrist. Han Yunxi saw a table full of poisons and realized that this was the woman Long Feiye wanted to leave alive. Unfortunately, she was already dead.

Tang Li stared at Long Feiye as if he was looking at a strange beast. He never thought this guy would lose his chance. Exactly what was he doing beforehand?! After all, he’d gone through a mass quantity of enemy spies before discovering the location of this mountain village. This territory was under control of Northern Li’s Duke of Kang. While this female poison master lacked the strength to truss a chicken, she was an expert when it came to creating poisons. As a competent assistant to the Duke of Kang, she’d been left with plenty of able-bodied protectors. In the past, the Northern Li spies had used a poison very similar to the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion call Bone Fragrance, which was created by this very woman! In truth, Long Feiye had come because of the Bone Fragrance. Now that the person was dead, they couldn’t ask her any question and had wasted their efforts.

“Where did you go just then?” Tang Li asked suspiciously.

The Duke of Kang’s subordinates were all willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause, and would kill themselves to seal their lips when escape was impossible. Long Feiye knew this fact, but still came late?

“Urgent business.” Long Feiye didn’t bother to elaborate, but acted as if nothing had happened. He tossed a small blue and white porcelain bottle to Han Yunxi and said mildly, “Take a look at the poison inside this bottle.”

Seeing the porcelain bottle, Tang Li had a fright. He was about to speak when Long Feiye silenced him with a look…
