I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

Although Ma Ke ruined Xue Wenshao's plans last night, he didn't cause any trouble regarding food and lodging.

They still sent someone to take Ma Ke to choose his own accommodation in the villa, and every meal included wine and meat.

However, in the past, when they were in the city, Song Tao usually brought the food box and ate with Ma Ke.

This time, however, Ma Ke only glanced at it before carrying the food box directly to Song Tao's residence.

Song Tao, who was eating, was stunned when he saw Ma Ke: "What are you doing here?"

Ma Ke asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior Brother Song, why can't I come? Have we grown distant as fellow disciples?"

As he spoke, Ma Ke laid out his food and wine, and filled Song Tao's empty cup with his own wine.

Song Tao's face twitched involuntarily: "You just stood by and watched someone die, do you think it was just a matter of inexperience?"

"What do you mean by 'refusing to help someone in distress'? Senior Brother Song was clearly just hiding his true abilities. Besides, we only have different beliefs, we don't have any other conflicts."

Hearing this, Song Tao was so angry that his internal injuries almost worsened. He couldn't help but sneer, "Junior Brother Ma, you're really good at pretending. I always thought you were sincere and kind to others, but it seems I was completely wrong."

"I think it's you, Senior Brother Song, whose personality has changed. You were even about to complain about me to the sect, but I didn't take it seriously and even came to visit you. Isn't that being sincere and kind to others?"

"What exactly do you want?" Song Tao was too lazy to play along with Ma Ke and completely tore off his previous pretense.

"Senior Brother Song, whatever misunderstandings we brothers may have had before, let's wipe them all clean today, shall we?" As he spoke, Ma Ke picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Song Tao, however, remained unmoved.

"Senior Brother Song, you don't suspect there's something wrong with my wine, do you?" Ma Ke asked meaningfully.

Song Tao was taken aback, then instantly understood. It turned out that this kid suspected someone was going to poison him and was afraid to eat anything, so he came here specifically to verify it.

That's certainly cautious, but if that's the case, why offend Young Master Xue in the first place? It's utterly unreasonable.

He naturally didn't want Ma Ke to arouse any suspicion, so he immediately picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation, secretly cursing, "I'll let you live a few more days."

"So he really has murderous intentions towards me." Ma Ke sneered inwardly, because Song Tao's shout only reinforced his belief in this.

The reason is simple: if you don't have something to hide, why would you be in such a hurry to prove it?

If Song Tao hesitates and doesn't drink, it would further indicate that there's something wrong with the wine, meaning it's not just about killing him, but about taking direct action.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Song Tao was stubborn and ended up with nothing. If he had been more discreet and had taken the initiative to eat and drink when Ma Ke brought out the food and wine, he would have naturally reduced suspicion.

After finishing his meal and drinks to his heart's content, Ma Ke didn't linger.

When dinner time came, seeing Ma Ke bring over the food box again, Song Tao, having learned his lesson, said sarcastically, "If you're afraid of dying, you don't have to eat. I'm not in the mood to eat with you."

"I am indeed afraid of dying, but I can't not eat." Ma Ke unceremoniously grabbed Song Tao's wine pot and poured it directly into his mouth, and only ate the food in front of him, without touching his own.

"Junior Brother Ma, how come I never realized you were so shameless?"

"So, Senior Brother Song hates me and wants to kill me?"

Song Tao was startled and immediately rebuked him angrily, "Stop spouting nonsense!"

"An explanation is just a cover-up. You don't want to eat with me because you want to send someone to poison me, don't you?"

"If I just report this to the sect, you're doomed. Why would I need to do anything more?"

Ma Ke chuckled and said, "Just because you think that way doesn't mean Xue Wenshao thinks that way too. That spoiled brat is extremely vengeful and arrogant."

"I disobeyed him, how could he not hold a grudge? He's actually pretending nothing happened, which is clearly a case of protesting too much."

"I've observed that my senior brother spends all day in his room cultivating and taking medicine, probably preparing to recover from his injuries as soon as possible so he can make his move."

"What do you mean by 'protesting too much'? What do you mean by 'making a move'? What nonsense are you spouting?" Although Song Tao tried to appear calm, his mind was in complete turmoil. In just one day, this kid had guessed everything. Was their murderous intent really that obvious?

It wasn't that Ma Ke had a clear intention to kill, but rather that he had accurately assessed human nature. That's why he specifically went to test Xue Wenshao in the afternoon.

Xue Wenshao not only met with him, but also said that as long as he was willing to continue serving him in the future, the events of last night would be considered as if they had never happened, and he would still speak well of him in front of his brother.

Ma Ke reiterated his stance, stating that he would never aid and abet evil.

Even so, Xue Wenshao still did not completely turn against him.

Such an arrogant person, to be able to do this, what else could it be but to avoid alerting the enemy?

Ma Ke sighed and said, "Senior Brother Song, although I know you are planning to kill me, you haven't actually done it yet. And since the sect's mission is not yet complete, I can't leave directly, so I can only move next to you, closer to you, so I can be prepared at any time."

"You...you can think whatever you want." Song Tao was at a loss for what to do. How come he hadn't realized before that this kid was so difficult to deal with?

Moreover, this kid was certain that Young Master Xue wanted to kill him, yet he remained calm and collected. Could he be relying on something?

However, if he cannot eliminate them quickly this time, he dares not touch the Xue family, but for himself, it would probably cause endless trouble.

Song Tao wanted to discuss countermeasures with Xue Wenshao, but Ma Ke moved next door without prior notice, making him hesitant to act rashly.

The next morning, he intended to calmly and normally go out, but he heard the door next door creak open.

"Senior brother, did you go to discuss with Young Master Xue how to kill me?"

Song Tao knew that this kid was too shrewd, and that saying too much would only lead to mistakes, so he simply ignored him.

Seeing that Ma Ke hadn't followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately took a detour before arriving at Xue Wenshao's courtyard.

"Young Master Xue, something terrible has happened! That brat Ma Ke has figured out our intention to kill him and is already on guard," he said urgently upon seeing Xue Wenshao.

"So what? You are stronger than him on your own, and with a few more experts, you will surely take his life."

"But he still seemed fearless, as if he had something to rely on."

"What, are you scared? Didn't you tell me yourself that he was stuck at the first level of Qi Refining for ten years and only recently broke through to the second level?" Xue Wenshao didn't believe that such a good-for-nothing had much to rely on.

Song Tao was speechless. He had only wanted the Xue family to pay more attention to him, but he never expected that he would be silenced now.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

"What is it?" Xue Wenshao shouted impatiently.

A guard rushed in to report: "Young Master Ma said he has urgent business and is about to barge in."

Hearing that Ma Ke dared to be so presumptuous, Xue Wenshao was so angry he almost laughed, and immediately rushed out of the room.

Before he could even question him, Ma Ke said, "Young Master Xue, my senior brother accidentally let slip last night while drinking that you wanted to get rid of me to vent your anger over not helping you that night. Is that true?"

Song Tao, who had been hiding in his room to avoid the situation, rushed out and retorted angrily, "Ma Ke, you're talking nonsense! When did I ever say that Young Master Xue wanted to get rid of you?"

Ma Ke said with a serious expression, "Senior brother, a real man should dare to speak and admit his mistakes. You can't lie just because you're afraid of being blamed by Young Master Xue, can you?"

Xue Wenshao's gaze involuntarily swept towards Song Tao, clearly believing what he had said.

Only in this way could Ma Ke realize his own murderous intent in such a short time, and Song Tao was so eager to come over and absolve himself of responsibility.

"Young Master Xue, don't believe what he said, cough..." Song Tao was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
