Although his words contained a question, after speaking, he pushed open the door on his own, without waiting for Little Fairy Doctor's reply. After opening the door, the middle-aged man's gaze swept around the room without any restraint.
"Mr. Yao."
After giving a nonchalant reply, Little Fairy Doctor continued packing her things.
"Mu She and the others have arrived." Mr. Yao, whose gaze swept across the room but completely ignored Xiao Yan sitting to the side, did not notice anything amiss. After hearing Xiao Yi Xian's response, he urged, "Don't pack your things yet, let's go out together. No one can guarantee that Mu She won't send someone into the manor to launch a sneak attack."
"Didn't Mr. Yao already arrange enough people to patrol the manor?" Little Fairy Doctor continued packing her things at her own leisurely pace.
"...There are more than two hundred people who came with Mu She this time. The patrolmen in the manor must also go out to fight the enemy." After a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Mr. Yao said with a forced smile, "This calamity requires the concerted efforts of everyone in Wan Yao Zhai to overcome. Little Fairy Doctor, you can't hold everyone back just because of yourself, can you?"
"Even if I'm just an ordinary person at the Dou Qi stage, with no strength to even kill a chicken?" Little Fairy Doctor turned around and looked directly into Mr. Yao's eyes. "Even if I go out and only cause trouble?" As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan sitting next to Mr. Yao.
'Four-Star Dou Shi.'
Xiao Yan shrugged and told Little Fairy Doctor about Mr. Yao's level of Dou Qi.
Although this Mr. Yao was a four-star Dou Shi, he did not have any old injuries from life-or-death battles, and Xiao Yan could not detect any of the ferocity that ordinary mercenaries possessed from him...
"Being able to hold their own against a two-star Dou Shi like Mu She is already their limit, isn't it?" Xiao Yan rubbed his chin. "With this level of skill, they can't even compare to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in terms of the quantity and quality of their manpower. Where do they get the audacity to try and negotiate with a tiger?"
Even a novice knows to stay away from strangers when they are not strong enough. Surely this person who founded Wan Yao Zhai in Qingshan Town doesn't even have this basic common sense?
While Xiao Yan was observing Boss Yao, he had just thought of his answer: "Little Fairy Doctor, if you go out with us, those guards will unleash even greater power for you."
"To be a decorative vase?" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled. "Never mind, let's go."
Mr. Yao didn't react to Little Fairy Doctor's self-deprecation at all. He even considerately stepped aside and made a "you go first" gesture, almost bumping into Xiao Yan who was sitting leisurely to the side.
Little Fairy Doctor, who had already packed her things, didn't care about Mr. Yao's posture. She carried her small medicine box on her back and left the house.
After Little Fairy Doctor left the house, Mr. Yao walked a few steps quickly and walked in front of Little Fairy Doctor. The four guards who were assigned to monitor Little Fairy Doctor followed closely behind them after the two of them passed by.
Perhaps they had already been told that everything would end today, so the four guards made no attempt to hide their wariness of Little Fairy Doctor. When Little Fairy Doctor occasionally turned around, they gripped their weapons even tighter, as if they would mercilessly slash her if she dared to leave.
As Little Fairy Doctor followed Mr. Yao, they gradually walked out of the manor. The number of guards on both sides of Little Fairy Doctor kept increasing. They were so fierce that it was as if they had tied Little Fairy Doctor's hands behind her back and announced to everyone that this was the culprit, and this was the person Mu She was really looking for.
"Speaking of which, what level of cultivation technique do you practice?" Xiao Yan asked casually as he walked beside Little Fairy Doctor, counting the number of guards around them.
“Yellow Rank…or Profound Rank,” Little Fairy Doctor hesitated slightly after saying the words “Yellow Rank” after being told by Xiao Yan that there was no need to worry about her voice being heard by those around her. Then she corrected him, “I don’t know the specific level, but it is recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. It is said to be the most suitable cultivation method for the Calamity Poison Body.”
Little Fairy Doctor had some doubts that this "most suitable technique for the Calamity Poison Body" might be of the Earth rank. However, the other technique in the cave was only of the advanced Profound rank, and the number of Earth rank techniques in the entire Jiama Empire might not exceed the number on both hands. Therefore, Little Fairy Doctor felt that the most likely one was Profound rank.
"Mysterious rank? The most suitable for the Calamity Poison Body?" Xiao Yan blinked, then thought of the Burning Technique he cultivated. "Ha, maybe this most suitable technique for the Calamity Poison Body is an evolving technique. Maybe you will be able to possess a high-level Heaven rank technique in the future."
"Where in this world can a cultivation technique evolve?" Little Fairy Doctor complained. "I'm already grateful to the tomb owner for gifting me something that's not even Yellow Rank."
"After we finish dealing with things in Qingshan Town, shall we go and pay our respects to the tomb owner?"
"Forget it, do you really have the nerve to go back in after destroying someone's grave?"
"Maybe?"
"You're really shameless."
……
While Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan were bickering, Mr. Yao had already reached the outside of the manor.
Following behind Mr. Yao, after stepping out of the manor gate, Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan saw the bustling crowd outside the manor, and Mu She standing at the very front of the crowd... and the thin man next to Mu She.
"Gan Mu? He's still alive after all..." Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the gaunt man beside Mu She and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"That person is Gan Mu?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "I thought Mr. Yao and Mu She would at least have a verbal battle, and then someone would suddenly jump out and say that Gan Mu is actually still alive, so the two sides would reconcile, and in the end, Gan Mu would point out the real culprit..."
"It seems that the two of them planned this all along, just waiting for this day to force you to reveal the ownership of the treasure?"
"Perhaps there's also the idea of relying on public opinion to prevent the other two mercenary groups from interfering in the matter between Wolf Head and Wan Yao Zhai, then taking the opportunity to seize the other side, and completely controlling Green Mountain Town after obtaining the treasure."
After looking around and finding that there were no members of the other two mercenary groups from Qingshan Town behind Mu She, Little Fairy Doctor nodded, confirming Xiao Yan's deduction, and also expressed her own opinion.
Just as Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor were leisurely commenting on Mr. Yao and Mu She's actions, Mr. Yao looked at Gan Mu next to Mu She with a "shocked" expression, opening his mouth and closing it several times, pretending to be so shocked that he couldn't speak.
On the other side, Mu She glanced at Little Fairy Doctor behind Mr. Yao, and after confirming that she was still as normal as ever, he glared fiercely at Gan Mu beside him, and then turned his gaze to Mr. Yao: "What's wrong, Mr. Yao? After seeing my Second Regiment Commander, you can't even speak anymore?!"
“I’m just curious,” Mr. Yao forced a smile, “didn’t you say a long time ago that your second regimental commander died at the hands of my Wan Yao Zhai’s physician assistant?”
Both of them were performing with great seriousness, and the mercenaries watching them were also nervously watching the two important figures, afraid that they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement... Of course, if Mu She and Mr. Yao really wanted to fight, they would not stop them, but the premise was that they would first reveal the location of the treasure!
"You just survived by sheer luck," Mu She sneered. "To expose your ugly face, I didn't even ask Gan Mu beforehand who caused this calamity for him..."
"So, are you still going to try and deny it now?"
"I've said it from the beginning, what happened to your second regimental commander has nothing to do with me or Wan Yao Zhai!" Mr. Yao said firmly through gritted teeth. "Even if Gan Mu were standing right here, I would still dare to say it like this!"
"Fine, since you refuse to admit it..." Mu She recited his lines in a measured tone.
"Enough already? Are you really going to keep dawdling like this?" Little Fairy Doctor's voice suddenly rang out. "Or do you two think I haven't found anything and will just let you keep talking?"
The mercenaries who were only thinking of taking advantage of the chaos were completely bewildered when Little Fairy Doctor walked out from behind Mr. Yao.
Some of the more perceptive mercenaries noticed the unusual atmosphere and quietly retreated, thinking of getting away from this place of trouble at this moment.
However... Xiao Yan's soul power would not give them any chance. All the sharp-witted mercenaries froze when they got close to the back row, unable to move any further.
"Little Fairy Doctor, what are you saying?" Mr. Yao reached out, wanting to take Little Fairy Doctor's hand...
"Heh, still pretending even at a time like this?" Little Fairy Doctor scoffed, dodging Mr. Yao's hand that was hiding poison. "The day the Mu Snake came knocking, wasn't it you who poisoned my residence? What, did you think I hadn't noticed all this time?"
"Actually, nothing was found." Xiao Yan stood next to Little Fairy Doctor and contradicted her, but only Little Fairy Doctor could hear him.
"That day, poisoning?" Mr. Yao subconsciously looked at Mu She.
Tsk.
Seeing Mr. Yao's reaction, Mu She clicked his tongue in displeasure, then took a step forward, "What, you're finally willing to admit that you were the one who poisoned Li Fei and almost killed my Second Regiment Commander?"
“I did kill Lifi,” Little Fairy Doctor laughed disdainfully, “but you, the Second Commander… ha, was he really injured? Or rather, were the wounds on his body really not inflicted by you?”
"Who doesn't know that I've been running around all this time for Gan Mu, just to get justice for him?" Mu She naturally wouldn't admit that. "But you, Little Fairy Doctor..."
"Everyone in Qingshan Town says you have a kind heart and treat all wounded mercenaries equally..." Mu She stared at Little Fairy Doctor with a fierce look. "Then how could you bear to hurt Li'er? Everyone in Qingshan Town knows that Li'er likes you. If he wanted the treasure, he could have just said the word and given it to you!"
Everyone knew that Mu She was talking nonsense. Not to mention that Little Fairy Doctor never gave Mu Li a kind look when he tried to curry favor, even if Little Fairy Doctor really was Mu Li's person, Mu Li would never let go when it came to those treasures.
However, precisely because of this, everyone noticed one thing—
Mu Li died at the hands of Little Fairy Doctor, and it seems that he died at her hands after finding the treasure!
Instantly, everyone's gaze towards Little Fairy Doctor became even more intense. However, unlike usual, this time, everyone was only thinking about one thing: to get the whereabouts of the treasure from Little Fairy Doctor and then keep it all for themselves!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly laughed, "Do you know what kind of treasures are in that cave?"
"Hundreds of thousands of gold coins are scattered everywhere, a dozen rare medicinal herbs are planted in a corner, and the cultivation techniques and combat skills that you all care about..."
"A high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique with no attribute requirements, along with a matching high-level Xuan-rank combat skill. How about it, want it?"
Most mercenaries don't really care about gold coins and medicine, since not everyone has a storage ring. Without a storage ring, let alone hundreds of thousands of gold coins, they might not be able to store even a few hundred.
However, upon hearing "a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique without attributes" and "a matching high-level Xuan-rank combat skill," everyone's breathing subconsciously quickened. It should be noted that even the seemingly strongest person in Qingshan Town, Mu She, only cultivated a high-level Huang-rank cultivation technique, and the strongest combat skill he possessed was also only a high-level Huang-rank!
"Where did you put the things? Or do you have other accomplices?!" Mu She asked ferociously, his eyes bloodshot.
Mu She had never regretted it so much. He shouldn't have been afraid because of Lifei's death, and he shouldn't have sought Mr. Yao's cooperation because he was worried about the poison that Little Fairy Doctor might be concocting!
Without cooperation, without fear...
The thought of missing out on the opportunity to possess a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique made Mu She wish he could just chop Little Fairy Doctor to death with a single strike!
"What's the rush?" Facing the somewhat ferocious-looking Mu She, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled, "If you don't summon your battle qi veil, how do you plan to defeat me?" Her aura exploded completely.
"A...a Battle Master?!"
"Impossible! Just a month ago, Little Fairy Doctor was only at the Battle Qi stage!"
"The medicinal herbs... must be herbs that can quickly enhance one's strength!"
"There might even be some pills! Qi Gathering Powder... there must be some Qi Gathering Powder!"
……
The moment the Little Fairy Doctor's power was felt, the entire audience erupted in a frenzy of discussion.
"Battle Master..."
Both Mu She and Mr. Yao instantly became alert, their Dou Qi gauze robes instantly appearing. If Little Fairy Doctor were still at the Dou Qi stage, it wouldn't matter, but a Dou Master... even if Little Fairy Doctor had no combat experience, ignoring the strength of a Dou Master would ultimately lead to serious consequences.
Looking at the cyan battle aura robe on Mu She and the green battle aura robe on Mr. Yao, Little Fairy Doctor silently took two steps back, while counting down: "Ten, nine, eight..."
Upon hearing the countdown from Little Fairy Doctor, Mu She took out an antidote pill from his pocket without hesitation and put it in his mouth.
Mr. Yao, all the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and the guards of Wan Yao Zhai all took the same action.
"...3, 2, 1, 0."
Little Fairy Doctor didn't stop them, and calmly counted down. The moment the last number was uttered, black, poisonous blood overflowed from the mouths of all the mercenaries present.
"How could this be?" Mu She's eyes widened in disbelief. "It was clearly an antidote pill sold by the Xiao family..."
"The Xiao family? The Xiao family of Wutan City?"
After hearing Mu She's words, Xiao Yan finally revealed his true form in front of everyone, "Did you buy a fake? Even the poison of a third or fourth-tier magical beast can be cured by the Xiao family's antidote pills."
Tilting its head, it looked in bewilderment at Mu Snake, who was covering its mouth with its hand as venomous blood continued to spill out.
Chapter 150 The Poison of the Foot (Part 2)
Looking at Xiao Yan, whose figure emerged from the air, Mu She's eyes were filled with fear. To him, who did not know about soul power, the only person who could hide his figure in public and be seen through by him, a two-star Dou Shi, could be a high-star Dou Shi or even a great Dou Shi!
"Who...who are you?!"
He instinctively wanted to use polite language, but then he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him seemed to be an accomplice of Little Fairy Doctor. Mu She forcibly swallowed all the words after the "you" and turned it into an extremely forceful sentence.
"Me?" Xiao Yan smiled casually. "The young master of the Xiao family you mentioned, Xiao Yan."
"Xiao Yan..."
Mu She had naturally heard of this name before. After all, the incident of being jilted by Nalan Yanran, the disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master, a year and a half ago was quite amusing. To this day, only a minority of people in the Jia Ma Empire do not know this name.
However, for the mercenaries who make a living in Qingshan Town, this name has another meaning—Fighting Master.
Why are you telling him all this?
Compared to Mu She, Little Fairy Doctor disliked Mr. Yao even more. Therefore, after "dealing with" Mr. Yao, she turned to Xiao Yan and said, "If there were any survivors, they might pin all these crimes on you."
"Regardless of whether there are any survivors, I still have to emphasize the family's reputation," Xiao Yan said helplessly, turning his head to look at Little Fairy Doctor before focusing his gaze back on Mu She, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. "So, you didn't buy a fake because you were greedy for a cheap price, did you?"
