Chapter 267: Chapter 0267: Hit It Off Immediately

Thinking about how Tang Ming consumed so many poisons without dying, Shen Yan became even more certain that there was a problem with the poison and drove straight to the Poison Sect to seek an explanation.

After arriving at the Poison Sect, Long Er was responsible for receiving Shen Yan, assuming she had come to purchase more poison. However...

"What kind of shitty poison did you sell me last time? It didn’t kill a person at all."

Shen Yan burst out with a torrent of angry shouting.

"You can take anything by mistake, but you can’t talk nonsense. Our Poison Sect’s poisons are famously lethal, how could they not kill a person? Don’t spout nonsense."

Long Er warned with displeasure.

"I’m telling the truth. I saw with my own eyes the target gobble up all the poison, and yet he’s still bouncing around alive!"

Shen Yan cried out in frustration, her anger boiling over at the memory of nearly being eaten alive by mosquitoes while waiting for Tang Ming to drop dead.

"That’s impossible. Last time you bought five packets of Soul Chasing Powder, even a whale would die if it consumed them all."

Long Er said with absolute certainty, "From what you’re saying, it’s clear you’re just being unreasonable. The Poison Sect is not a place for you to throw a tantrum. Please leave immediately; from now on, the Poison Sect won’t do any business with someone like you."

"Oh wow, so now that I’ve called out your fake medicine racket, you’re getting mad, huh?"

Shen Yan taunted in a mocking, sing-song voice.

"You scoundrel, if you keep talking nonsense like this, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Long Er’s face turned cold. If the other party wasn’t a customer, he would have already lost his temper.

"So what if you’re being impolite? I’m with the Poison Widow. Are you sure you want to be rude to me and sever your business ties with us?"

Shen Yan demanded confidently, sitting on the sofa as if she had the upper hand.

Long Er frowned. The Poison Widow Assassin Group was a major client of the Poison Sect, purchasing a large amount of poisons every year, and he truly didn’t dare offend the Poison Widow on his own authority.

"Calm down a moment, I’ll let my uncle-master handle this matter. If what you’re saying is true, the Poison Sect will certainly give you an explanation."

Long Er smiled again, reassured her, and then immediately sent someone to call Mei Dufeng.

Not long after, Mei Dufeng arrived at the reception and got a brief overview of the situation. Smiling, he approached Shen Yan: "Miss, are you sure that person ingested our Poison Sect’s poisons?"

"Of course, I watched him swallow them."

Shen Yan nodded firmly.

"That’s not supposed to happen! According to logic, the Poison Sect’s Soul Chasing Powder takes a life in three minutes, unless..." Mei Dufeng muttered doubtfully, a gleam of insight flashing in his eyes as he thought of the Detoxification Pill.

"Unless what?"

Shen Yan sat up straight, pressing for an answer.

"There can always be surprises. Please describe in detail the process of how the poison was administered, and let’s see which part went wrong."

Mei Dufeng said patiently.

"What detailed process? That bastard Tang Ming just gobbled down your poison by the bagful—I didn’t even have to go through the trouble of administering it."

Shen Yan said irritably. If all assassination targets were as proactive as Tang Ming, it would save all assassins a lot of trouble.

"Who? Who did you say?"

Mei Dufeng’s face changed dramatically.

"Tang Ming, my assignment target."

Shen Yan repeated.

"It’s actually him."

Mei Dufeng stood up abruptly and began walking out, "Miss, please wait for me. I’ll be right back.

"Hey, hey, we haven’t finished sorting this out—where are you going?"

Shen Yan protested unsatisfied, but to no avail as the man ignored her completely.

Mei Dufeng hastened to the place where Long Duba was cultivating and quickly recounted the events.

"It’s that Tang Ming again."

Long Duba furrowed his brows and said, "This time he consumed our Soul Chasing Powder and nothing happened, which means he must still have a Detoxification Pill or something of similar effect on him."

"I was thinking the same thing, what should we do now?" Mei Dufeng looked at Long Duba uncertainly.

"We still haven’t figured out the formula for the Detoxification Pill. If we can get the method to detoxify from him beforehand, it would be a great achievement."

Narrowing his eyes with some excitement, Long Duba said, "Here’s the plan: you give that woman a Myriad Poison Pill as a gift and find a way to have Tang Ming ingest it. Then summon Long Yi and Long Er to surveil Tang Ming, and once he is poisoned, regardless of what he consumes, snatch it back for me."

"Why is that?"

Mei Dufeng asked, puzzled.

"Stupid, after Tang Ming is poisoned, he’ll definitely take an antidote. Whatever he consumes then, that will be the Detoxification Pill," Long Duba analyzed confidently.

"I see. Senior brother is truly smart. I’ll personally surveil Tang Ming to ensure that whatever he eats, I’ll snatch it all back," Mei Dufeng volunteered energetically after understanding the situation.

"That’s good, Tang Ming is not weak, so you going is more secure," Long Duba nodded in agreement.

"But senior brother, what if Tang Ming doesn’t take the Detoxification Pill, what should I do?" Mei Dufeng looked at Long Duba with concern.

"It’s even better if he doesn’t take it, we’ll just poison the little bastard to death," Long Duba cursed viciously.

Afterwards, Mei Dufeng went to see Shen Yan, and at first, Shen Yan didn’t believe in the so-called Myriad Poison Pill from Poison Sect.

Having no other choice, Mei Dufeng took Shen Yan to do an experiment. They let a dog sniff the Myriad Poison Pill, and the dog was poisoned to death.

Only then did Shen Yan believe that the poison from the Poison Sect was real poison, not fake, and she immediately returned to the city to find Chen Cang, urging him to continue poisoning Tang Ming.

After the students returned to school on the bus, they disbanded.

Because Xia Wei’er was feeling unwell, and due to the previous incident, she was too embarrassed to stay with everyone, so after greeting them, she went home first!

"What are we going to do now, huh?"

Li Xiaoli, linking arms with Liu Mengting, excitedly exclaimed, "School starts tomorrow, this is the last afternoon; I definitely don’t want to stay home, no way!"

"You’re always the one with lots of things to do. If not going home, what else can we do?"

Liu Mengting glared at Li Xiaoli severely.

"Of course, we’re going to eat!"

Tang Ming exclaimed impatiently, "We passed lunchtime on the bus; I’m starving to death!"

"Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know!"

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming discontentedly, feeling utterly embarrassed to have such a gluttonous bodyguard!

"Actually, I’m also hungry!"

Zhou Dafu sheepishly raised his hand, hesitantly echoing.

"Then let’s go eat, hey!"

Li Xiaoli winked at Liu Mengting and whispered, "We should ask Tang Ming about what exactly happened with Xia Wei’er, too."

After that, the four of them left the school and settled down in a clean and tidy restaurant to eat!

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli sat together, their faces flushed with embarrassment, keeping their heads down, too worried to interrogate Tang Ming for fear that others would know they were acquainted with him. This was because in front of Tang Ming were already seven or eight stacked empty bowls, and the table’s dishes had been nearly completely wiped out. His eating manner was just too horrifying.
