Chapter 717: Poison, the greatest weak point O (2/2)

“Yes!” Compared to her servant girl, Duanmu Yao was even more certain.

Long Feiye next turned towards Cang Qiuzi. “Martial Uncle Cang couldn’t stop Duanmu Yao yourself, so you interrogated the servant girl before running to Lost Void Lake?”

His repeated questions left Cang Qiuzi uneasy, but he had pondered deeply over his excuse and didn’t find any weaknesses. After some hesitation, he declared with confidence, “Yes!”

He, Duanmu Yao and the servant girl all agreed on the same story. Unless they found an external eyewitness, Long Feiye would find it impossible to do anything against them.

“Feiye, do you believe it now?” Cang Qiuzi asked seriously.

But Long Feiye only enunciated, word for word, “I, Do, Not!”

“Hmph, that’s what happened. This old man has done all I can. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not! This old man has no guilty conscience!” Cang Qiuzi grew stern. “Even if you don’t trust me, this old man won’t regret savin–”

“Then may I ask why martial uncle wasn’t poisoned?” Long Feiye interrupted.

Poisoned?

Cang Qiuzi gave a start as he hazily recalled something important. Meanwhile, han Yunxi immediately understood Long Feiye’s intentions!

That’s right!

How could she have forgotten? Poison was the greatest weak point to this case! As Cang Qiuzi knitted his brows in bewilderment, Han Yunxi moved her Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain bracelet until she shot out a single poison needle in the direction of Cang Qiuzi. Because it happened so suddenly, he didn’t get to react until the needle hit.

“Han Yunxi, you have some nerve!” As soon as he spoke, he felt his stomach began to hurt.

“Han Yunxi, you…you actually dared to poison this old man! Someone come, ah!” Cang Qiuzi clutched his stomach to try and stop the pains, but poison was poison in the end. He had no way to fight it off and collapsed onto the ground. As the crowd watched on in shock, all of the Lockheart Courtyard disciples rushed forward to surround their master. Cang Xiaoying quickly went over to help support Cang Qiuzi.

“Father, what’s wrong?”

“Han Yunxi, you have some hall to commit physical assault on Celestial Mountain grounds!”

“This is completely reversed! Someone come, hurry and apprehend her for this old man!”

Both Second and Third Elder were incensed, while Granny You was stunned. “Feiye, what’s the meaning of this?”

Long Feiye pulled Han Yunxi protectively behind him and said coldly, “Yunxi only wanted to prove the truth of the matter. Everyone, please stop making a racket.”

By now, Cang Qiuzi had discovered the flaw in his lies! Lady Leng Yue’s hidden assassins had all been struck with this stomach poison back then, which left them unable to ambush Long Feiye. Right now, he was suffering from the exact sam poison! Too alarmed to bother with the pain, he rushed to stop Han Yunxi and Long Feiye from revealing the truth. Otherwise, he and Duanmu Yao would be hard pressed to explain themselves!

Almost screaming, he cried, “Someone come, capture them both! Quick!”

All of the Lockheart Courtyard disciples unsheathed their swords in that instant and waved it at Long Feiye and Han Yunxi.

“Senior brother, let Feiye explain himself first! There’s no rush!” Granny You said.

But neither Cang Qiuzi nor the Lockheart Courtyard disciples paid her any attention. Even Cang Xiaoying had discovered something off about her father’s tone and was pointing her weapon at the pair.

“Han Yunxi, you dared to hurt my father. I’ll fight you to the death!”

Granny You couldn’t stop them, while Second and Third Elder had retreated from the fray. As the swords prepared for imminent battle and Long Feiye prepared to draw his own weapon, Han Yunxi suddenly held him back.

“Cang Qiuzi,” she said coldly, “Immediately call off your people. Otherwise, this wangfei promises that no one will be able to treat your poison. Try me if you don’t believe it!”

Cang Qiuzi grew stunned, but it was then that a somber voice rose from behind the couple. “Where did such a hoyden come from? You dare to behave so atrociously before this honorable senior?”
