Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Oblivious to Impending Death

Just as everyone raised their teacups to drink, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Everyone instinctively put down their teacups.

Gu Shi’s face darkened, and he was furious inside, right when success was within reach, which bastard is here to cause trouble?

Liu Yiren walked over to open the door.

When she saw Yun Mengyao standing outside, she paused for three seconds before jumping up excitedly, turning back to shout, "Sister Yun is back, the Holy Daughter is back."

Liu Yiren grabbed Yun Mengyao and ran outside.

Qin Yi, standing behind Yun Mengyao, was directly ignored. Out of habit, he wanted to touch his nose, only to be blocked by the gold mask on his face, leaving him somewhat embarrassed as he followed in gloomily.

Xia Yanbing, seeing Yun Mengyao safe and sound, happily gathered around her, asking all sorts of questions.

Originally very angry, Gu Shi saw the goddess-like Yun Mengyao, and all his displeasure vanished into thin air. Gaining another beauty, he thought himself truly fortunate, and tonight he could enjoy the blessings of having beauties all around him.

This Qin Yi really knew how to enjoy life, collecting so many beauties.

If it were in the past, he wouldn’t dare have any ideas about Xia Yanbing and others, even if he had the guts of a thousand men. Qin Yi was infamously fearsome, having destroyed so many families, he’d have the desire but not the nerve.

But now Qin Yi was dead, so these beauties became his prize. Qin Yi couldn’t crawl up from the ground to bite him.

"How is Yiyi doing?" Yun Mengyao asked.

The group of women fell silent immediately.

Xia Yanbing shook her head, whispering, "She has been unconscious since she returned. By the way, this is Divine Doctor Gu from the Yunchuan Gai family, who came to treat Yiyi."

Yun Mengyao looked at Gu Shi. As the Saintess of the Feather Clan, her bloodline was noble and pure, making her particularly sensitive to all kinds of impurities. She sensed an uncomfortable aura from Gu Shi, frowning subconsciously.

However, considering he was here to treat Duan Yiyi, she nodded as a greeting.

Soon after, Yun Mengyao glanced at the tea on the coffee table and asked Xia Yanbing, "Is this your water? I’m dying of thirst, I’ll drink a sip."

With that, she stepped forward and picked up Xia Yanbing’s teacup.

"Don’t drink it," Qin Yi suddenly spoke up.

Yun Mengyao’s hand paused, instinctively turning her head to look at Qin Yi with confusion on her face.

Xia Yanbing and the others also instinctively looked at Qin Yi, curious about his masked and strange appearance.

"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the water?" Yun Mengyao asked curiously.

Qin Yi stepped forward, his palm brushing over the teacup in Yun Mengyao’s hand, drawing out a black beetle the size of a sesame seed. The black beetle tried to spread its wings to fly away but was trapped by a mysterious force.

Gu Shi’s face changed drastically on the spot.

"What is this?" Yun Mengyao asked curiously.

Without saying a word, Qin Yi stepped forward, his hand brushing over all the teacups, extracting a series of black insects from each.

"These are Mist Bugs. I once killed members of the Five Poison Sect and saw such insects on them. I grew curious and researched them a bit. These Mist Bugs originate from the Yunchuan Swamp, resistant to fire and cold, and possess strong life force. Most importantly, they have a potent hallucinogenic effect on Qi Refiners, causing people to lose consciousness for a short time and forget everything that happened upon waking."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Shi, "Am I right?"

Xia Yanbing and the others had a dramatic change in expression. Losing consciousness and not remembering anything upon waking was horrifying. If they had drunk the tea, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The ladies glared at Gu Shi coldly.

Gu Shi started to sweat on his forehead, not anticipating that this strange masked person could uncover the Mist Bugs.

"What are you all looking at me for? Do you think I put these Mist Bugs in your cups?" Gu Shi shouted with a quivering voice.

Yun Mengyao coldly retorted, "Isn’t it? You’re from Yunchuan, and these Mist Bugs come from Yunchuan, isn’t that too much of a coincidence?"

"Actually, it’s easy to tell if it was you or not; we just need to check if there are Mist Bugs in your cup," Qin Yi said casually.

Gu Shi’s face changed again, shouting sternly, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just check my teacup as you please? I even suspect you brought these Mist Bugs and framed me."

Qin Yi replied calmly, "Whether it’s you or not doesn’t matter, but Yunchuan Gai family, I’ve noted."

Gu Shi sneered disdainfully, "What do you mean? Are you implying you’ll pay a visit to my Gai family? Do you have such courage?"

Duan Xinyuan’s face turned ashen, "Gu Shi, was it really you?"

Gu Shi’s face darkened, "Family Head Duan, I came in good heart to treat your daughter, yet you believe a stranger without a traceable identity over me? If that’s so, farewell!"

With the matter exposed, Gu Shi wanted to extricate himself.

"You can’t leave without clearing this matter," Duan Xinyuan’s eyes flashed with cold light. He had spent a fortune hiring this Divine Doctor, who turned out to be a malicious scoundrel, how could he not be furious?

Gu Shi sneered, "Family Head Duan, if you truly think I did this, show some evidence. Without evidence, I have no time to play with you. If you falsely accuse me, don’t forget the Gai family is not easily trifled with."

Duan Xinyuan’s expression froze. The Yunchuan Gai family was an ancient medical family, with widespread connections and powerful influence, not easily provoked.

Seeing Duan Xinyuan’s expression, Gu Shi’s face became more disdainful, sneering as he prepared to leave.

"What’s the relationship between the Gai family and the Five Poison Sect?" Qin Yi said calmly.

Gu Shi’s steps halted, staring at Qin Yi for a long while, sneering, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

"I advise you to be truthful, perhaps you can die quickly, otherwise, not only you but your entire Gai family will pay the price. Those who provoke this guy never end well," Yun Mengyao taunted.

This Gu Shi actually plotted against Xia Yanbing and the others. With Qin Yi’s personality, this man was finished.

"Hmph, since when has the Yunchuan Gai family feared anyone? Save your childish threats, you’re only making a fool of yourself," Gu Shi sneered, full of disdain.

Yun Mengyao shook her head with pity, "Facing imminent doom and yet ignorant, you surely know how to bring disaster to your Gai family."

Gu Shi replied with utter disdain, "Stop threatening me. If you’re capable, come to the Gai family, I’ll be waiting for you there. Now, I don’t have time to waste talking with you."

Gu Shi flung his hand, turned, and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned, he almost died of fright. Qin Yi, who was originally standing behind him, suddenly appeared in front of him, nearly bumping into him. Upon seeing Qin Yi’s strange mask and half-smiling expression, he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, is this guy a ghost?

But before he could react, a fair hand gripped his neck, five fingers contracting like steel pincers, making his neck bones creak.

Gu Shi struggled in terror, trying to use energy to break free, but despite his Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was completely suppressed by the terrifying force from the other’s hand, unable to muster any resistance.
