Chapter 131 Gu Family
"What is going on? Is this the fifth son of the Yue family? Then how did he get poisoned?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
Lin Yu was silent for a moment, wiped his face, and then told the inside story.
The fifth son, Yue Cen, is a brother of Yue Qi from the same clan and the youngest son of Yue Ling's third brother.
He was the most valued son of the Yue family in this generation. Because he was so valued, the old man never let him try the spiritual fire, for fear that he would get hurt.
Xiao Ruo and Lin Yu were originally Yue Ling's trusted subordinates for Yue Qi, but over the years they gradually realized the bloodiness and cruelty of this plan.
Moreover, if she fails, not only will Yue Qi die, but the entire Yue family will be cursed!
Yue Ling has dedicated her life to this, does Yue Qi have to follow in her footsteps? She should also have her own path to follow!
The two of them had always respected the upright character of the Fifth Young Master Yue Cen. As the time for Yue Qi to take action drew near, they had tried to persuade him many times but to no avail. They could no longer sit still and went to him privately to tell him about the matter.
They originally thought that Yue Cen was the closest person to Yue Qi in the Yue family, and if he spoke up, perhaps she would change her mind.
But who knew that Yue Qi was so stubborn, and his idea was exactly the same as his mother's. Not only was she not convinced, she was even more worried that Yue Cen would leak the matter, so she cruelly poisoned Yue Cen to control him, without considering the relationship between brother and sister at all.
Yue Cen failed, was poisoned and imprisoned. Xiao Ruo and Lin Yu had no choice but to take the risk and tell the old master of the family, thinking that someone would finally stop her, right? They
didn't tell the old master before, but went to Yue Cen instead, because they wanted to leave some room, otherwise the old master would definitely be furious, and Yue Qi would be severely punished.
They had already betrayed Yue Ling's instructions and felt bad about it. They didn't want things to come to that point unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, they had never expected the subsequent development. Yue Cen actually attacked the old man again!
She killed the old man and took his place, controlling Yue Cen to support her in becoming the head of the family.
In this way, she truly controlled the Yue family, and then all the current events happened.
"It turns out that there are normal people in the Yue family." The female cultivator in red sighed after hearing this.
Yue Ling and Yue Qi were both like crazy, which made her have a bad impression of the entire Yue family. The only person she had a good impression of was Old Master Yue, who was gone.
But now it seems that Yue Cen can still be considered a breath of fresh air in the Yue family. At least he is not that confused.
Yue Qi was really cruel. He killed the old man and poisoned his brother. He also used the strange disease he had as a pretext to lure outsiders to the villa...
If he could kill his own relatives, then to harm people who were not related to him by blood, didn't seem like a big deal?
"He was poisoned by Qiansi Rao, right?"
A young female cultivator in the crowd said.
This female cultivator looked young, perhaps around twenty years old, with a pretty face, dressed in white, and an indifferent expression.
"How do you know, fellow Daoist? It is indeed a complicated matter." Lin Yu was stunned and said quickly.
"What a coincidence! I just happen to have the antidote here." The white-robed female cultivator said, "Once we are out of the city, I can give the antidote to you, the fifth young master."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle and held it in her hand.
Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, looked at her, then looked at the red-robed female cultivator, and Mo Jiuwei, then smiled bitterly and sighed: "There are always people better than you, Miss Eighth, it's not unfair that you lost."
Yue Qi thought she had left nothing out, but in fact, in the eyes of the strong, everything she did was full of flaws.
The red-clothed female cultivator reacted quickly. Not to mention that Mo Jiuwei took the spiritual fire away right away, the white-clothed female cultivator had already seen through the fact that the "young master's strange illness" was fake, but she never said a word and never touched the spiritual fire. Instead, she lurked in the crowd and watched quietly.
Let's see what they are up to and wait until they reveal their true intentions.
Xiao Ruo didn't know what the white-robed nun would do in the end if the little kid didn't come forward to stop it.
But these were not so important now.
She cried with joy, "Thank you, fellow Taoist. Don't worry, we will definitely get you out of the city safely."
Everything went smoothly afterwards. Xiao Ruo and the others first distributed the antidote for Ming Lan Xiang to those who were poisoned, thus detoxifying everyone.
It was only then that they realized that none of Liu Feng's group were poisoned, and the same was true for the female cultivator in white and her male companion.
At that time, Xiao Ruo and the others were sweating -
Yue Qi still thought his plan was flawless, but now it seems that there is more than just a flaw. It is clear that there is a big hole in the clothes, and the wind is leaking everywhere!
Fortunately, the Fifth Young Master is sober and kind, and did not go to a dead end, otherwise the Yue family would not be able to end well today.
After expressing his feelings, Xiao Ruo opened the door of the secret room and let everyone out.
As for the Yue family members guarding outside, 90% of them were loyal to the Yue family. After learning that Yue Qi was dead, they naturally turned to obey the orders of the Fifth Young Master Yue Cen and no one stopped them.
As for the remaining 10% who were still loyal to Yue Ling and Yue Qi, they were wiped out by Lin Yu and his men.
"This is the antidote. There are three pills in total. Take one pill a day and you will be cured."
At this time, outside Shihan City, the woman in white delivered the antidote as promised and handed it to Lin Yu.
Yue Cen only had one breath left, so he naturally couldn't leave the city, so he waited for news in the villa.
Lin Yu gratefully accepted it, thanked him, and asked about the doubts, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, how did you get the antidote for Qiansi Rao? Miss Eight claimed at the time that this poison was extremely rare, and the antidote was even harder to find..."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to drive or coerce them.
The reason why Lin Yu asked this was to find out whether Miss Eight was lying, whether the poison was not so rare, or whether it was just a coincidence?
Hearing her say this, the female cultivator in white seemed to smile.
"She didn't lie." The nun in white said, "The reason why I happen to have the antidote is because I made this poison."
After the female cultivator in white finished answering, she saw that Liu Feng and his group had already left. She didn't bother to talk to Lin Yu anymore and turned around to chase them. Naturally, the man in white who was her companion followed them.
Lin Yu and Xiao Ruo were stunned.
"White clothes, poison making... and the intricately patterned sachets on their waists... could they be members of the Gu family?!" Lin Yu's voice was trembling.
There are two groups among alchemists. The mainstream group makes ordinary commonly used elixirs, elixirs for healing or recovery, etc. The alchemists generally referred to refer to this group.
The other faction is a group of poison masters who specialize in making and playing with poisons and are deeply feared by the monks.
The training process of a poison master is rather unconventional. He has to deal with poisonous insects and plants all year round. Not only does he have a poor living environment, but he is also often poisoned in the process of making medicine. If he is not careful, he may lose his life.
Therefore, there are very few poison masters, and not many people are willing to delve into the field.
