Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Chi Junlin nodded, looked at everyone, and continued, "Then the question arises: since Di Cangshan was poisoned, a new question arises. Who poisoned Di Cangshan, and what kind of poison was used?"

Actually, these two questions can be answered together.

Because I have a very good nose, I can easily smell the ingredients in common prescriptions.

And there's one ingredient in this prescription from Di Cangshan that I happen to have smelled before.

Those were the eggs of the fire gecko in Wei Ziqing's hand.

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing Chi Junlin's words.

Wei Ziqing was even more surprised, "Di Cangshan was actually poisoned to death by... this thing?"

Chi Junlin nodded.

However, Feng Lingqiu was inevitably a little puzzled because she had never heard them talk about the details of Wei Ziqing's treatment before.

He then asked, "What is a fire gecko?"

Upon hearing Feng Lingqiu's question, Tong Yan explained Wei Ziqing's use of heat-toxin substances to treat illnesses.

She exclaimed in surprise, "There are such deadly poisons in this world!"

However, at this moment, Wenren Tianxia showed a puzzled expression and said, "Can we conclude that Di Cangshan was poisoned based on this alone? Couldn't that substance be added as a medicinal ingredient?"

Wei Ziqing immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible! The eggs of the fire gecko are extremely poisonous. I only dared to use them after diluting the eggs a hundred times using the method given to me by the Ghost Doctor Langya."

Furthermore, during the decoction process, a large amount of warming and cooling substances must be added to dilute the medicine before it can be safely ingested.

If a single egg were added directly to the elixir formula, the person who ingested it would likely suffer from severe heat poisoning and die suddenly.

Chi Junlin nodded and added, "There's one more thing. Feng Lingqiu and I examined Di Cangshan's remaining head and found burn marks around his eyes."

I originally thought it was from being burned by fire, but now I imagine it must be the mark left on Di Cangshan's head when he suffered a heat attack.

Di Cangshan died, but his body disappeared, and his medicine jar was thrown away.

It's likely that they wanted to cover up the real cause of his death by beheading, so that we wouldn't immediately think of who the murderer was.

Because if we knew that Di Cangshan was actually poisoned by gecko eggs, it would be a huge shock.

So, who among those present is the most suspicious?

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's suggestion, the women immediately looked at Wei Ziqing and her daughter.

Wei Ziqing was also taken aback, and turned to look at Yan Sijun.

She immediately understood Yan Sijun's purpose in doing this.

Just as Chi Junlin said, all these unnecessary actions were to prevent her from being suspected by others!

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's answer, Yan Sijun also displayed a complex expression.

He then sighed and nodded, saying, "That's right. Di Cangshan was killed by my poison."

Upon seeing Yan Sijun finally admit to the matter, Wei Ziqing turned pale and nearly fainted.

Fortunately, Tong Yan reacted quickly and caught her immediately.

Upon seeing this, Di Shanshan snorted coldly and said, "Well done!"

Ye Qiancao smiled but didn't say anything.

Tong Yan then looked at Yan Sijun and asked with some doubt, "Di Cangshan has treated Ziqing quite well. He not only gave her the Fire Gecko he found in Cangjian Peak to cure her illness, but also took you and your daughter in here to recuperate."

What deep-seated hatred could you possibly have for him that would drive you to poison him?

Upon hearing this, Yan Sijun looked at Tong Yan and said with a slightly complicated expression, "Aunt Tong, you are mistaken. Di Cangshan gave the fire gecko to my mother not because he wanted to be a good person, but because my father risked his life for the Lou family."

In exchange, Lou allowed Di Cangshan to bring out the fire gecko.

Moreover, Di Cangshan never harbored any good intentions. Although he took my mother and me into the manor, he had no intention of saving my mother whatsoever.

Not only that, he even deliberately prevented the other people in the manor from helping my mother!

Aunt Zhilan should be well aware of this, shouldn't she?

As Yan Sijun spoke, her gaze turned coldly toward Hui Zhilan.

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan's expression also sombered, revealing a hint of guilt.

Then he said, “Miss Sijun is right... I am aware of this matter.”

Di Cangshan... He once privately told the elders of the sect that no one was allowed to rescue Wei Ziqing before he gave the order.

I tried to persuade him a few times... but... he was stubborn and wouldn't listen to me at all...

After that, I also thought about whether I should tell Ziqing about this and let her leave as soon as possible.

But before I could say anything, this happened…

Chapter 179 The Terrifying Aspects of Entertainment

Upon hearing Hui Zhilan's words, everyone present wore expressions of bewilderment.

Wei Ziqing found it utterly absurd.

Although she never intended to have a strange man treat her, what was the purpose of Di Cangshan's actions?

What good would it do him to watch himself die?

At this moment, Yan Sijun said with a cold smile, "I shouldn't have known about this, but once when I was strolling around the manor, I happened to hear Di Cangshan talking to another elder of Cangjian Manor."

It turns out that this beast in human form had long coveted my mother's beauty.

He knew that removing the cold poison required men and women to be naked together, so he wanted to use the excuse of treating the illness to take advantage of my mother and force her to have sex with him.

However, my mother had refused Di Cangshan's kindness several times before.

He harbored resentment and planned to drug and rape my mother in a few days.

How could I not try to kill such a beast in human form?

However, because Di Cangshan had been having his steward brew medicine for him, I had not been able to find an opportunity to poison him.

Fortunately, on the day Sect Leader Tong arrived, the banquet was too busy for the steward to attend to so many matters.

I finally found an opportunity to put the gecko eggs in his medicine.

Although this action was somewhat unfair to Sect Leader Tong, I have no regrets about having the opportunity to kill this man for my mother's sake.

Upon hearing Yan Sijun's words, everyone wore complicated expressions.

But no one expected that Yan Sijun, with her seemingly gentle appearance, actually had such a strong heart!

Wei Ziqing looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her face.

I never imagined that so many things would happen without my knowledge.

She always thought she was protecting her daughter, but she never imagined that she was the one being protected.

Looking at Yan Sijun at this moment, Wei Ziqing couldn't help but show a look of pity and burst into tears.

At this moment, Di Shanshan sneered, "Did you hear that? What kind of chivalrous hero is he, the leader of a sect? Behind the scenes, he's a heartless scoundrel. He's truly a laughingstock!"

Upon hearing this, the women fell silent for a moment.

Then Tong Yan asked Chi Junlin, "But I still don't quite understand why Yan Sijun killed Di Cangshan. Perhaps this is understandable."

But why did she destroy the suspension bridge that led to the outside world?

What's the point of this?

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin looked at Ye Qiancao and continued, "This matter should have nothing to do with Yan Sijun. If I'm not mistaken, this matter should also be related to you, right?"

Ye Qiancao chuckled and replied, "You guessed right, here's a flying kiss for you. Mua!"

Chi Junlin ignored her, while Tong Yan became even more puzzled and said, "I don't understand."

Others also seemed somewhat puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin did not provide an immediate response.

Instead, he turned to the Di mother and daughter and asked, "Leaving aside the matter of the suspension bridge for now, I have a question that I would like to have answered."

Why is it that we sleep so soundly in bed in this attic, while you are able to move around freely at night without being disturbed?

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's question, Di Shanshan looked at her.

The two exchanged a glance, and Chi Junlin noticed that Di Shanshan's expression was very calm.

Then she replied, "Actually, it's not as complicated as you think."

The courtyard of Sword Emperor Peak was originally a place for recuperation. The sandalwood used to build the houses was scented with a calming incense made from several expensive herbs from the mountains.

Sleeping in the attic room, one can naturally fall into a deep sleep.

It's just that you've only been living in the building for a few days, so the healing effect is better. That's why you fall asleep quickly.

The longer we live here, the less effective it becomes.

As long as you stay awake and stay alert, you'll naturally wake up once the drowsiness passes.

Upon hearing Di Shanshan's answer, Chi Junlin's expression showed some surprise.

She thought that Di Shanshan had drugged their water or that there was something wrong with the food they were eating.

The final answer was surprisingly simple!

Wenren Tianxia was getting anxious and said, "Forget about sleeping for now, tell me quickly who trapped us here. Don't just tell me half the story!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin said, "The one who trapped us here is naturally Ye Qiancao."

As Chi Junlin spoke, he looked at Ye Qiancao and continued, "Don't you understand her? She must have seen that Yan Sijun dared to poison Di Cangshan and found it extremely amusing, so she went outside to call Di Shanshan back..."

Then, they proceeded to destroy the suspension bridge.

Wenren Tianxia was taken aback upon hearing this, then said, "Di Shanshan and Yan Sijun... they... aren't in cahoots? I thought..."

"of course not!"

Chi Junlin immediately said, "If they were in cahoots, they wouldn't have been so divided in the first place. Moreover, last night, the two even clashed and fought each other."

Di Shanshan wanted to enter my room and cultivate with me; Yan Sijun wanted to protect Aunt Ziqing and asked me to cure her illness.

Yan Sijun lost, which is why there are such obvious scars on her hands.

Wenren Tianxia immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, looked at the two of them and said, "So that's how it is! No wonder... no wonder..."

So, it seems they didn't discuss their plans for the future from the beginning...

"That's the way it is."

At this moment, Chi Junlin looked at Ye Qiancao and said, "If I am not mistaken, Di Shanshan was never on Sword Emperor Peak before, and the original Di Shanshan was replaced by Ye Qiancao from the beginning."

The suspension bridge was probably destroyed by Ye Qiancao later, something even Di Shanshan hadn't anticipated.

"Di Shanshan, if I'm not mistaken, you've been manipulated and threatened by Ye Qiancao all along, and haven't truly fallen into the demonic path yet, right?"

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Di Shanshan's face showed a complicated expression, and she nodded.

Then he looked at Ye Qiancao and said coldly, "Actually, I've only known this demonic witch for less than half a month."

If she hadn't informed me overnight, I really wouldn't have known that Di Cangshan had died so easily.

After that, as soon as I stepped onto Sword Emperor Peak, I saw that this guy had actually destroyed the suspension bridge...

She's really insane... she didn't even leave herself a way out.

But since we're on the same side, if we don't join forces, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape responsibility for Di Cangshan's death.

So we had no choice but to follow her instructions and hide in the courtyard until the next day before taking action...

To be honest, I don't know what this demoness's purpose is. Apart from impersonating me, covering my tracks on Sword Emperor Peak, and acting in my place, she hasn't done anything else.

If you ask me what she wants to do... then I'm sorry, I really can't answer that question.

Because, I don't know either.

Upon hearing Di Shanshan's reply, Chi Junlin realized that what she said was true.

Because Ye Qian had sex with this woman, that was indeed the case.

Sometimes, the things she does are truly without any ulterior motive.

I just wanted to have some fun.
