Chapter 851: 851

Li Qingcheng looked nauseated and said with a shake of her head:

"My surname is Liu, not Gong. If I were to acknowledge my ancestry, it would be to the Liu clan."

To acknowledge the Gong family as her ancestors was the wish of her mother before she passed away. She didn’t have a good feeling about the Gong family and didn’t want to be part of their family tree.

Seeing this, Gong Wu’s eyelids twitched slightly, but he managed to hide his reaction quickly.

He laughed again and said, "Well then. We shouldn’t force this kind of thing. Let’s discuss the matter of your mother returning to her roots with the Liu family."

"I’ve checked the almanac, three days from now is an auspicious day, suitable for recognizing one’s ancestry..."

The words spoken by Gong Wu appeared very ’sincere’.

It seemed he genuinely wanted to fulfill the wish for Li Qingcheng’s mother to acknowledge her ancestry.

Gradually, the guards of Liu Chuanqi and Li Qingcheng started to come down.

At that moment, Gong Wu laughed again and said, "Why aren’t you drinking any tea or water?"

"Afraid I’ve poisoned it?"

"Hahaha, you’re too cautious. It seems you still don’t trust me."

"Fine, this should make you believe me, right?" With these words, he picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, he said, "Now, you should believe me, right? I’ve drunk the tea from this pot myself, if I had poisoned it, then I would be the first one to die."

Seeing this, Liu Chuanqi and Li Qingcheng finally let down their guard completely.

Gong Wu was glancing at Lin Dong while speaking.

Lin Dong naturally understood what he was up to.

Previously, in the land of the Yin Vein, Lin Dong had learned from Master Yi Mu about Yan Yu and Gong Wu purchasing ’Soul Annihilation’.

Now, he was almost completely certain that Gong Wu’s so-called proposal for Li Qingcheng to return to her ancestry was actually a conspiracy targeting himself.

It was an opportunity to administer the ’Soul Annihilation’ poison to him.

Gong Wu could naturally drink the tea poisoned with ’Soul Annihilation’.

Because he was not a martial artist; it would be harmless even if he drank it.

Li Qingcheng, too, would be fine if she drank it.

However, Lin Dong was different. If he drank it, then he would face the fate of losing all his Inner Qi.

Though Lin Dong mastered the "Nine Needles of Ice and Fire" and could cure all poisons in the world, the newly developed ’Soul Annihilation’ by the Poison King was not something that could be cured by the "Nine Needles of Ice and Fire".

It was specifically made for martial artists, targeting Earth Realm martial artists, and the Ice and Fire Nine Needles were ineffective against it.

Lin Dong looked at Gong Wu with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Gong Wu was also glancing at Lin Dong, outwardly composed, but his heart was being tossed by turbulent waves.

In his mind, he kept repeating the words, "Master Lin, would you please hurry up and drink it, hurry up and drink."

In the midst of his immense nervousness, he saw Lin Dong actually pick up the cup of tea and bring it to his lips.

Of course, Lin Dong wasn’t really going to drink it.

He was preparing to fight trickery with trickery, employing a ’Blinding method’ to deceive him.

Using a ’Blinding method’ on Gong Wu was all too easy for Lin Dong.

His eyes flickered momentarily as he cast an ’Illusion Technique’ on Gong Wu, then made him see in the illusion that Lin Dong had drained the cup.

In reality, however, Lin Dong had dumped out the cup of tea.

Soon, Lin Dong ended the illusion, but in Gong Wu’s eyes, Lin Dong had drunk the cup of tea poisoned with ’Soul Annihilation’.

"Hahaha..." At this point, Gong Wu suddenly burst into laughter.

Lin Dong looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

There was no longer any need for Gong Wu to pretend. He slammed a teacup from in front of him to the ground.

With a "Pop!" the teacup shattered on the floor, making a sharp sound.

Following that sharp sound, a group of people suddenly surged in from outside.

This group included Wushu Experts from the Gong family, as well as Zhao Ziming of the Zhao Family and a few of his entourage.

A total of a dozen people, among which eight were Sect Masters, and two were at the Peak level of Energy Conversion Masters.

This was the signal they had agreed upon beforehand, the ’shattered cup signal’: if Gong Wu shattered a cup inside, it meant that Master Lin had drunk ’Soul Annihilation’ and that Gong Wu had succeeded.

With Zhao Ziming leading the way for the martial artists to enter, they could take Master Lin’s life.

This was all part of their plan.

The arrival of these people caused the complexions of Liu Chuanqi and Li Qingcheng to change dramatically, as they suddenly realized that the situation was nothing like what they had imagined.

Lin Dong glanced around the room at Zhao Ziming and the others. He noticed that Yan Yu from the Yan Family hadn’t come, which showed that this man was indeed smart.

"Gong Wu, what is this about?" At this moment, Liu Chuanqi couldn’t help but shout out loud.

"Heh, what does it mean? Did you really think I wanted to acknowledge that outsider as a member of our family? She isn’t worthy?"

"A treacherous bitch who was deceitful during her lifetime is not fit to be included in our Gong family’s lineage, and even less so in death! The moment she chose you people, the Gong family would never acknowledge her again."

"She’s only fit to be a wild ghost wandering outside!"

This was the real Gong Wu, nothing like how he had presented himself before.

In his heart, he truly looked down upon Li Qingcheng and Liu Chuanqi, even harboring hatred towards them, hatred towards his own sister. Resenting them for losing face for the Gong family.

Resenting them for not following his plans, which caused him to lose benefits.

Upon hearing these words from him, the expressions on the faces of Li Qingcheng and her father, Liu Chuanqi, completely darkened.
