All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 55 Five Poison Child
On the second day,
Wang Gan awoke from his deep sleep to find his pillow empty once again.

Sun Xiaohong was dressed neatly, her face slightly flushed, still lingering from the frenzy of the previous night.

Wang Gan was somewhat puzzled.

Where's the blue scorpion?

Sun Xiaohong glared at Wang Gan with annoyance.
That guy is a real jerk. Last night he said he wanted to show her glowing goldfish.
Unexpectedly, she and Blue Scorpion were brought along as well.
"Sister Lan has already left. Before she left, she only said that this time she would barely consider it as you repaying her debt."

"Next time, I'll definitely make you owe her a favor."

"Sister Lan?"

Wang Gan asked in surprise.
"When did you two become so close?"

He remembered that Sun Xiaohong used to look down on Blue Scorpion and even harbored some hatred towards him.

Sun Xiaohong snorted coldly.
"Women's business is none of your business."

That's how women are; they can inexplicably develop hatred, and inexplicably become best friends.

"All right."

Wang Gan shrugged; he couldn't understand the relationships between women either.

Once Wang Gan was dressed, he went downstairs with Sun Xiaohong.

The two sat in the lobby, preparing to order some breakfast for themselves.

The main purpose was to order some wine. Wang Gan came to the martial arts world and, as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. He also picked up the drinking and womanizing habits of the martial arts world and couldn't have a good time without wine when eating.

Fortunately, Wang Gan is quite self-disciplined and often gives up one of them.

For example, now, when he drinks, he abstains from sexual activity.

"Warm up a jar of good wine for me!"

Wang Gan gave instructions to the waiter.
"Hey! They're here!"

Wang Gan was still waiting for his wine when he saw someone come up to him, sit down directly in front of him, and drink a bowl of tea without any politeness.

The newcomer was a one-eyed man in yellow robes, with an arrogant expression. His long robe bulged beneath, suggesting it contained a considerable amount of goods.

"I originally wanted to go find Little Li Flying Dagger - Li Xunhuan."

"But I heard you were here, so I went to find you on my way."

"Half-human, half-ghost, with unpredictable divine hands—Wang Gan!"

Wang Gan glanced at the person opposite him, not even bothering to look at them properly.

"If you leave now, you can still save your life."

Sun Xiaohong remembered the identity of the person opposite her.
"One-eyed, yellow-clad, and covered in long-handled hidden weapons, you are the forty-sixth on the Weapon Ranking, 'Flying Spear' Guan Shuangfei."

Although she recognized him, Sun Xiaohong remained very calm.

In their previous encounters, they had all faced powerful individuals ranked in the top ten of the weapon rankings.

Those ranked forty or below on the weapons list are big shots to ordinary people, but to them, they are nothing more than insignificant nobodys.

Seeing that she was being looked down upon, Guan Shuangfei smashed the teacup in her hand and said angrily!

"What can I do if I don't leave?"

"Let me tell you, Wang Gan, everyone else may be afraid of you, but I'm not!"

Wang Gan raised his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"If your hand weren't shaking so badly when you said that, it would be somewhat convincing."

Guan Shuangfei pointed at Wang Gan, her hand trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

But soon, things started to go wrong, because Guan Shuangfei's trembling quickly spread from her hands to her whole body!

He let out a painful groan, his head lolled to the side, and he died there, his hand still raised, his face ashen!

"This"

Sun Xiaohong was also surprised and quickly looked at Wang Gan.

Your martial arts skills have reached this level!?
How can someone kill someone without even lifting a finger?
Wang Gan calmly shook his head.

"I didn't do it."

"Killing someone from a distance is something only a god could do."

"You forgot what the storyteller said yesterday? To kill someone, poison is much easier than martial arts." Sun Xiaohong realized this and quickly looked at the broken teacup on the ground.

The tea is poisoned!

Moreover, it was highly poisonous. Guan Shuangfei's martial arts skills were not high, but those who entered the Weapon Ranking were not mediocre. He drank this tea and did not survive for more than three breaths!
"Could it be that someone in the inn poisoned it?"

Sun Xiaohong's expression was solemn.
The storyteller was right. It takes decades of martial arts training to kill someone, but poisoning only takes a moment!

Fortunately, Guan Shuangfei took the hit for them; otherwise, they would have been the ones poisoned.

"Didn't you notice how unusually quiet the inn was when we went downstairs?"

Wang Gan sighed; he had a pretty good idea of ​​who the visitor was.

"If I'm not mistaken, everyone in this inn has probably been poisoned to death."

Sun Xiaohong's expression changed drastically.
"what?"

Immediately afterwards, Sun Xiaohong and Wang Gan got up together and went to the inn's kitchen.

The cooks in the kitchen stood in front of their woks, their faces ashen, holding spatulas, but they were silent, letting the food in the woks burn to a crisp.

The waiter who had gone to get wine was now slumped over the wine vat, his body stiff.

"This poison is so terrifying. Not only is it colorless and odorless, but even the person being poisoned cannot detect it."

“They died sitting or standing, without even realizing it before they died.”

Sun Xiaohong sighed,

She had never seen such a sophisticated method of poisoning.

"really."

"If it had been at the Yihong Pavilion, and it was him who poisoned me instead of Blue Scorpion, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have escaped this fate."

Wang Gan was also amazed by this method of poisoning.

The Blue Scorpion's venom was effective because it was cunning; it seized the moment when Wang Gan's guard was down.

Because it uses mild and nourishing herbs, the resulting toxins are not as potent.

"Do you know who poisoned it?"

Sun Xiaohong looked at Wang Gan and asked.

"There are three kinds of poison in the world: the poison of minerals, the poison of plants, and the poison of snakes and scorpions."

“Mineral toxins are the most insidious, but also the mildest; it takes a long time for the toxins to penetrate the body,”

"The poisons of plants are moderate, while the poisons of snakes and insects are the most toxic, yet the most difficult to conceal. They must enter the bloodstream, rather than the mouth or nose, to be effective."

Wang Gan sighed.

"If one can administer the venom of snakes and insects so discreetly and silently, it can only be the legendary Master of the Blissful Cave in Miao territory, the Five Poisons Child."

“He is the godson of the Bodhisattva of Great Joy. He came to cause me trouble. It must have been at the behest of the Bodhisattva of Great Joy.”

Sun Xiaohong's expression was solemn.
"Then how should we deal with it? Even if we know it's him, it seems like we can't even see him."

If it were a direct confrontation, Sun Xiaohong was confident that few people in the world could defeat Wang Gan.
Her grandfather was ranked first in the weapons list, and even he wouldn't dare say he was 100% confident in facing Wang Gan.

Wang Gan nodded.

“That’s right… This Five Poison Child can even poison from more than ten miles away. If we actively seek him out, we will never find him.”

"So... we have no choice but to hurry on our way to Shaolin Temple."

"Fortunately, it's only two or three days away from Shaolin Temple. If we fast for a bit, we should be able to make it."

The Shaolin Temple has stood strong for so many years, which must mean it has a profound foundation. Both the Great and Small Rejuvenating Pills are famous antidotes in the martial arts world.

Even a mere Five Poisons Child couldn't do anything to the Shaolin Temple.

Sun Xiaohong frowned.
"That's all it can do."

"But I'm afraid that once we've eaten our fill of hunger and are completely exhausted, he'll come out and confront us head-on."

Sun Xiaohong sighed.
"If only Sister Lan hadn't left, she could have helped us detoxify and identify the poison."

Wang Gan nodded, looking completely convinced.
"Yeah, if Blue Scorpion were here, we'd have someone else to warm the bed at night."
