Chapter 448: Chapter 0449: Not Poisoned

Chu Ge said this with a lack of energy, not at all as lively as before.

Zhao Wuji became even more suspicious. He tensely looked at Chu Ge and asked again, "Mr. Chu, are you really alright? Your complexion doesn’t look too good. Is it because you didn’t rest well last night?"

That shouldn’t be the case. As an Ancient Martial Artist, even if one were to cultivate martial arts all night without sleep, they wouldn’t feel tired or show any signs of fatigue on their face. Yet today, Chu Ge looked as though he was extremely exhausted from the past few days.

Chu Ge nodded gently. He indeed did not rest well last night, but there was a more important reason than that.

"I’ll explain in detail later. For now, tell me about the situation with this auction."

Chu Ge pinched the bridge of his nose, sat up straight, and rested one hand on the tea table in front of him, lightly tapping it now and then.

Zhao Wuji nodded and then pointed to the compartment on the far left, saying, "That’s the Tang Sect. You must be very familiar with them, Mr. Chu. This time, they have sent an elder at the Grandmaster Level. However, it’s strange that the Tang Sect is participating in the auction. I had thought the Tang Family would come as well, but they haven’t shown up."

Given the sheer scale and amount of the auction, he didn’t think the Tang Sect had the financial power to handle it.

Without the support of the Tang Family, the Tang Sect was not a threat at all.

He was worried that although the Tang Family did not send a representative, they could still be providing substantial funds to the Tang Sect.

If that were the case, they would have to carefully calculate their next move.

Chu Ge squinted slightly, his gaze fixed on that compartment. Due to the curtains, he couldn’t see clearly inside.

But in his heart, he wondered if his recent poisoning had anything to do with the Tang Sect.

After all, the grievances between him and the Tang Sect could not be resolved in just a few words, especially since he is currently living in the Tang Family estate, out in the open.

He guessed that the Tang Sect must already be displaying displeasure towards the Tang Family.

While Chu Ge was silently speculating, he heard Zhao Wuji point to the second compartment and say, "As for the people in this second compartment, they belong to a newly rising Sect called Huayue Sect. There’s not much known about the Huayue Sect from the outside world, but one thing is very famous, and because of this, in less than a month since their establishment, Huayue Sect has attracted thousands of disciples. What’s more shocking is that eighty percent of these disciples are male."

Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully. With the prevalence of Ancient Martial Arts, it was natural for more Sects to emerge.

But it was indeed rare for a Sect to attract thousands of disciples all at once.

"It seems that the Sect Leader of Huayue Sect is a remarkable character."

Zhao Wuji sighed lightly, shaking his head and saying, "If talking about being remarkable, she indeed is, but if compared to other Sects, it’s somewhat embarrassing."

Chu Ge looked at him, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"This Sect Leader of Huayue Sect is said to be a woman over forty years old, but her appearance is as youthful as a girl of just twenty, an exceptional beauty. Rumors say that if a man so much as glances at the Sect Leader, their legs go weak. At first, I thought this woman knew some Bewitching Technique, but men who have seen her said they were very clear about what they were doing. Even Elder Jian Chunqiu said that men with weak stability are bound to fall under her pomegranate skirt."

Chu Ge lifted his eyelids in surprise, "Elder Jian has seen her?"

"He has." Zhao Wuji nodded and continued, "Later, it was rumored in the world of martial arts that the Huayue Sect practices yin and yang replenishment as their Cultivation Technique, and as for the Sect Leader, she uses Yang Supplementation. It is for this reason that so many male disciples are attracted. Everyone joins Huayue Sect with only one goal in mind, that is to sleep with the Sect Leader, Hua Liuyue."

Chu Ge suddenly understood. In the path of Cultivation in Ancient Martial Arts, it is indeed possible for men and women to perform Dual Cultivation to achieve their Cultivation goals. However, such a Cultivation method would create greed in people. Every so often, they must engage in sexual activity, or else it becomes difficult to retain the True Qi in their body without it slipping away.

Zhao Wuji stroked his chin, chuckling with curiosity and anticipation, "I wonder if Hua Liuyue will come in person. I really want to see her beauty. I heard she’s incredibly beautiful, and men who have slept with her can’t get enough and yearn for a second time. However, Hua Liuyue has a peculiar habit: she never touches a man she has slept with more than once."

After introducing Huayue Sect, Zhao Wuji then pointed to the third compartment and said, "The person in this compartment seems to be a Japanese. Their recorded name in the file is Honda Sakura, also known as the Lady of the Xiao Family from Su City. But when I checked the actual registration information, it showed several Japanese names instead."

Mentioning Honda Sakura and the Japanese, Chu Ge’s expression darkened immediately, his gaze piercing as he looked at that compartment. Each compartment on the second floor was specially designed so that one could not see inside the others.

"What I’m curious about is, how did these Japanese know about this auction?"

"Hmph, what else could it be? Honda Sakura must have told them," Chu Ge said in a rather vicious tone. Although he felt that his sudden loss of martial arts prowess was not the style of those Japanese, he always felt that Honda Sakura was involved somehow.

In Su City, the people who held grudges against him were limited to a few: the Tang Sect, Honda Sakura...

If Lin also counted as one... Soon, Chu Ge dismissed the thought of Lin. He didn’t believe Lin had the capability to procure poison.

Chu Ge inexplicably thought of the black market where anything could be bought. Could it be possible to find an antidote there? Or perhaps the poison had originated from that place?

Chu Ge’s thoughts were in turmoil now. Ever since he lost his martial power, his mind has been muddled, not clear at all.

Zhao Wuji continued to introduce. On the second floor, there were a total of eight compartments, now filled with representatives from various Sects. Only Chu Ge’s compartment was unaffiliated with any Sect.

As they analyzed others, people were also analyzing them.

Therefore, when everyone learned that the people in Chu Ge’s private room were unaffiliated with any Sect, they became curious.

Especially the Japanese in the third room, both curious and shocked.

"Big brother, could it be that the kid hasn’t been poisoned?" The one who spoke was a man dressed in a black kimono, his eyes constantly fixed on the middle compartment, where he could vaguely see the outline of the person inside, but not the face clearly.

"Today our main goal is to secure that secret technique; anything else is not our concern. As for whether Chu Ge has been poisoned, we shouldn’t worry about that either. Third, you must always remember your duty, and you must not act recklessly. Understand?"
