After the door closed, Li Dequan, who had been keeping his head down, said to Chu Qinghe with a bitter face, "Young Master Chu, I'm sorry, I had no choice but to do this!"

However, the moment the words fell, the Green Snake Gang disciple who had entered through the back door arrogantly kicked Li Dequan, knocking him to the ground.

Then, while kicking Li Dequan, the Green Snake Gang disciple cursed, "You dog, didn't you say you'd notify us as soon as the person who created this golden page arrived? If I hadn't been curious and come to take a look, were you planning to let this kid go?"

Lying on the ground, Li Dequan, in pain, dared not say much. He could only try his best to bend over and protect his vitals while begging for mercy.

Chu Qinghe frowned slightly as he witnessed this scene.

But as this man continued to kick Li Dequan on the ground, the three Green Snake Gang disciples standing nearby watched with great interest, showing no intention of stopping him.

After venting his anger with a dozen or so kicks, the Green Snake Gang disciple who had committed the violence finally looked at Chu Qinghe.

After his gaze lingered on Chu Qinghe's face for a moment, he took a few steps forward and sat down next to Chu Qinghe in a nonchalant manner. Then, he slammed the long sword that he had been holding in his left hand without drawing its sheath onto the table.

His gaze lingered on the pure gold playing cards in Chu Qinghe's hand as he slowly said, "Young Master Chu, is that right? I won't waste any more words. We brothers are a bit short on cash these days. If you can afford to take out all this gold, then you must be a generous person. So we'd like to borrow some money from you."

Finally, the Green Snake Gang disciple casually patted the long sword on the table.

The threat was self-evident.

After pondering for a moment in response to what the Green Snake Gang disciple said, Chu Qinghe silently put the golden playing cards in his hand into the wooden box and then pushed it in front of the Green Snake Gang disciple.

"Here you go!"

Seeing Chu Qinghe like this, the Green Snake Gang disciples were suddenly stunned.

Originally, the Green Snake Gang disciple was prepared to continue speaking and reveal the information he had gathered over the past few days related to Chu Qinghe to scare him.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Qinghe handed over the pure gold leaf without saying a word.

This kind of coordination made the Green Snake Gang disciple feel awkward, as if his spellcasting had been interrupted.

After regaining his senses, the Green Snake Gang disciple coughed lightly, then put on a troubled expression and said, "However, there are four of us brothers now, and Young Master Chu only has this one box of things. I'm afraid it's not enough for us brothers to share!"

Hearing the Green Snake Gang disciple's words, Chu Qinghe was not in a hurry. Instead, he put his hand in his pocket and took out several ingots of gold weighing ten taels each.

Looking at the gold on the table, not only the Green Snake Gang disciple sitting next to Chu Qinghe, but even the three Green Snake Gang disciples standing to the side stared wide-eyed.

As the eyes of several Green Snake Gang disciples were drawn to the gold on the table, Chu Qinghe spoke up, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Perhaps their attention was drawn to the question, because when Chu Qinghe asked them, the Green Snake Gang disciples all nodded unconsciously and said, "It looks good."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe laughed and said, "If you like it, take a few more glances."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the Green Snake Gang disciples looked puzzled, unable to understand the meaning behind Chu Qingge's words for a moment.

However, before the others could react, the next second, although Chu Qinghe remained seated, the three Green Snake Gang disciples standing beside him and the Green Snake Gang disciple next to Chu Qinghe suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, all four of them felt as if an invisible black hole had appeared in their bodies, completely draining all their strength.

My whole body felt limp and I couldn't muster any strength.

The Green Snake Gang disciple sitting next to Chu Qinghe was alright, just slumped in his chair, looking listless.

However, the other three Green Snake Gang disciples in the shop collapsed to the ground.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

With a few tremors, blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

What's striking is that the blood flowing from the mouths of these three people was a purplish-red.

They were clearly poisoned.

Feeling the waves of excruciating pain emanating from all over their bodies, the four of them couldn't help but open their mouths and scream in agony.

However, as the four Green Snake Gang disciples opened their mouths in pain, they were horrified to find that they could not make a sound.

At this point, the importance of mastering a medical skill becomes apparent.

You can only call out if I want to hear you call out.

If you find it pleasant to sing, you might even be encouraged to sing it a little longer.

When you don't want to listen, just like Chu Qinghe is now, you'll be poisoned and rendered mute, so even if you scream your lungs out, you won't be able to make a sound.

Otherwise, like now, these four Green Snake Gang disciples are all yelling, making a lot of noise, and people outside will hear the commotion inside the shop.

Beside them stood four Green Snake Gang disciples, all of whom were in pain but unable to utter a sound.

Li Dequan, who had been beaten half to death, was terrified by the bizarre scene in the room. His eyes widened and his body trembled uncontrollably. He was clearly frightened.

Ignoring the pain in his body, he quickly rubbed his face with both hands, then spat out a mouthful of saliva with a "tui" sound.

Only after confirming that there was no purplish blood in the saliva did I feel relieved.

Meanwhile, as blood continued to spill from the mouths of the three Green Snake Gang disciples lying on the ground, their bodies began to tremble.

However, the process didn't last too long, only about three breaths, before the three of them stopped trembling.

But as their bodies calmed down, the three of them also stopped breathing.

It felt completely hopeless.

On the contrary, the Green Snake Gang disciple sitting next to Chu Qinghe, although his mouth was also stained with purplish blood, was still alive.

Looking at his three companions who were clearly dead on the ground, the terror in the eyes of this Green Snake Gang disciple was so intense that it was almost overflowing.

After withdrawing his gaze from the three already lifeless Green Snake Gang disciples on the ground, Chu Qinghe's eyes shifted to the person beside him.

As if sensing Chu Qinghe's gaze, the previously unruly Green Snake Gang disciple subconsciously moved his mouth a few times.

Although she still couldn't make a sound, her mouth shape suggested she was begging Chu Qinghe for mercy.

In response, Chu Qinghe flicked his right hand lightly.

As the energy burst forth, a few drops of medicinal powder flew from the palm of the Green Snake Gang disciple, allowing him to utter a few sounds.

And the pain in my body subsided considerably in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the Green Snake Gang disciple straightened up and reached for the long knife on the table.
