Chapter 228: Chapter 228: The Ancestor Who Let the Secret Slip

Wen Zishu stood beside Shang Junxiao, holding onto his shoulders, so nervous he almost forgot to breathe.

He saw smoke wafting from under Shang Junxiao’s nose where the Talisman Paper was placed.

But he didn’t see any flame.

The Talisman Paper only emitted wisp after wisp of white smoke, without any flame.

Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan were curious.

Even Fu Shiyan was staring at that piece of Talisman.

After a moment, when Shang Junxiao was about to become numb, Jiangli suddenly made a move, flicking his nose.

Shang Junxiao’s nose tingled, and he almost cried.

"Damn it, what, what is this?!"

Before Shang Junxiao’s tears could fall, Wen Zishu screamed.

"Old, Old Shang, what is that in your nose?!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Junxiao was dumbfounded, "My nose, what’s in my nose..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he looked down and saw Jiangli pulling a long strand of hair out of his nose.

Shang Junxiao was immediately furious, "Ahhhh! Where did this hair come from?! When did it get into my nose?!"

Jiangli remained calm and silent, using the Talisman Paper to grab the hair floating out of Shang Junxiao’s nose, and yanked it out.

Strangely, the hair was not pure black; it was a light shade of pink.

Jiangli held the hair up and waved it in front of everyone, "Do you have hair of this color around here?"

Xia Xin hurriedly explained, "Is this hair? If it’s hair, maybe the owner dyed it?"

Jiangli raised his eyebrows, "Dyed?"

"Yes, it’s when you use different pigments to color your hair, showing different colors," Xia Xin coughed twice, "Nowadays, people like to express themselves and their individuality, and dyeing hair is quite popular."

Jiangli clicked his tongue twice, "Your people these days really have many tricks."

Xia Xin: "..."

He wanted to kneel before Jiangli.

Ancient one, let’s not talk like that.

If we continue like this, the cover will be truly blown.

Xia Xin glanced over at the reactions of the others with tears in his eyes.

It seemed like everyone’s attention was on the hair, clearly scared, so no one was paying attention to the oddity of Jiangli’s speech.

Xia Xin let out a silent sigh of relief.

"Abbot, do you know where this hair comes from?" Amidst the panic, Fu Shiyan asked calmly.

His expression and demeanor were as steady as ever, showing no sign of being frightened.

Xia Xin just wanted to silently give a thumbs up — truly a domineering CEO.

Jiangli answered, "It was done by the person who had dealings with him, probably the effect of the Peach Blossom Talisman."

Shang Junxiao was dumbfounded, "Peach Blossom Talisman? I’ve never asked for such a thing!"

"Not you, the person who acted against you," Jiangli explained: "This is not a legitimate Peach Blossom Talisman but a variation derived from it. You can think of it as a kind of Love Poisonous Insect. Ever heard of it?"

Shang Junxiao was stunned, "Like the Love Poisonous Insect from Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü?"

"Will you shut up? The stuff in Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü was a Love Flower Poison!" Wen Zishu slapped the back of his head with a smack.

Shang Junxiao instantly winced in pain.

Jiangli blinked, "What’s Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü?"

"That..." Xia Xin quickly intervened, "Ancient one, that’s not important, we should focus on Mr. Shang’s issue, that’s what’s most critical right now."

Jiangli suddenly lost interest with an ’oh,’ "Love Poisonous Insects are a type of sorcery from the Barbarian Borders, but due to regional and temporal changes, when it reached the Central Plains, it transformed into a Love Spell."

"It’s similar to the Love Poisonous Insect from the Barbarian Borders. A Love Poisonous Insect consists of a male and a female insect, placed within a man and a woman, making them irresistibly fall in love with each other upon sight."
