When I questioned him, the butterfly man acted as if he couldn't hear me and continued walking.

"Hey! I have something to tell you..."

I saw the butterfly man about to leave, so I walked towards him and said, "You must have had a reason for saving me, right? Did you want something from me, were you asked to do it on someone else's behalf, or do you have some connection with the Duan family?"

The butterfly man remained silent and continued to walk away.

"Stop right there!"

I was enraged by his attitude and quickened my pace to grab him. But the force I used only accelerated the onset of the poison, and I collapsed to the ground, my vision going black.

This dizzy feeling made me extremely uncomfortable. I shook my head and suddenly remembered the blood-coagulation pills Wang Qing had given me. I took them out and put them in my mouth.

A sweet and sour taste quickly filled my taste buds.

For a moment, I felt like I was on a roller coaster, and the whole world seemed to spin around me.

However, after that feeling disappeared, I found that the discomfort caused by the poisoning also disappeared.

After my blood flow slowed down, my hands and feet became numb, and my body felt cold.

When I stood up again, the butterfly man had already vanished without a trace.

Lately, I've been focusing all my energy on Fengmen Village and have almost forgotten about Butterfly Man.

Unexpectedly, the other party appeared in Fengmen Village.

I remember when we first met, he saved my life from Iron Fist.

This second encounter, he saved my life once again.

If the first time was a coincidence, then after what just happened, I can be certain that the Butterfly Man was secretly protecting me.

But when did he start appearing in my life? And who asked him to do it?

Even if he really is the one protecting me, Fengmen Village is so heavily guarded, how did this guy get here?

I stared at the empty alley, completely baffled.

When I returned to Wang Qing's residence, Monkey quickly came up to me, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand: "Young Master Duan, your eyesight is truly amazing. That bastard was really suspicious. After you chased after him, I found this on the ground. The mouth of this bottle was sealed with wax, and the contents inside should be liquid."

My analysis is that that bastard was probably trying to use the excuse of inspecting the drainage ditch to clear the sewers, then pour poison in and kill people through evaporation! If you hadn't noticed his scheme, he probably would have already succeeded. In that case, Wang Qing would probably be in trouble, and we'd still be foolishly guarding outside.”

I looked at what the monkey was holding and tried to speak, but my vision was blurry. I grabbed his arm and vomited it all up.

"Young Master Duan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing my condition, the monkey quickly supported my arm: "Did that guy hurt you?"

"It's not an injury, it's poisoning."

I bit my tongue to stay awake and sat on the ground, asking the monkey, "How is Wang Qing? Has he woken up?"

"I don't know, there's been no movement inside."

When the monkey heard that I had been poisoned, his face became extremely tense. He urged Manjing, "Young Master Duan has been poisoned! Go quickly and see if Wang Qing has regained consciousness. Ask him to come and help detoxify!"

As I listened to the monkey's words, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier. I leaned on his shoulder and gradually lost consciousness.

...

I don't know how long I slept. In my hazy state, I suddenly felt an unbearable pain in my fingertips. My body convulsed, and then I abruptly opened my eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was the monkey's joyful face: "Young Master Duan, you're finally awake! Wang Qing, quickly check if Young Master Duan is alright?"

“I said, as long as he wakes up, it means the poison has been eliminated.”

Wang Qing then walked over and asked, "How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Hearing what the two said, I sat up and stretched. Apart from a slight pain in my chest from being kicked earlier, I no longer felt dazed: "I'm fine. The discomfort I felt earlier has disappeared."

"That's good."

Wang Qing handed me another pill: "This medicine is for replenishing qi and blood; it will be good for your health if you take it."

I was injured while helping Wang Qing, so I wasn't worried that he would try to harm me. After taking the pill, I looked him over and found that he had no symptoms at all and looked very healthy. I clicked my tongue in amazement and said, "The Rejuvenation Pill you made is so effective. After healing you, it didn't even leave a scar?"

"The Rejuvenation Pill is a closely guarded secret of our sect. It restores health very quickly, but it consumes a person's vital energy. After taking this pill, it will take three to five months for my internal injuries to heal."

Wang Qing smiled at me and then said, "I heard you got injured while chasing after a young man who was trying to poison me, all to save me?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, that person was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with slightly dark skin and thick eyebrows."

“I don’t remember much.” Wang Qing shook his head: “The traitor I arrested came to Fengmen Village alone back then. He must be at least fifty years old this year.”

I continued, “Although I went to chase after that young man, it wasn’t him who poisoned me, but his master! That person was wearing a very large cloak, so I didn’t see his face, but his kung fu was very powerful. When I was fighting him, I was poisoned by him, and I only managed to survive thanks to the Blood Coagulation Pill you gave me.”

"Senior brother, why is this situation getting more and more complicated?"

After listening to my story, Wang Hong said to Wang Qing, "That traitor was clearly an old man with a disability in both legs, how did he suddenly become a kung fu master? Besides, didn't you say that the poison Duan Tao was poisoned didn't come from our sect?"

After hearing Wang Hong's words, I realized something was wrong: "Are you saying that the person who attacked me wasn't the one you're looking for?"

"That's not entirely true."

Wang Qing frowned and thought for a moment: "That guy has been deeply rooted here for many years, so it's inevitable that he has developed his own power base. It's not impossible that some people are willing to risk their lives for him. As for the poison you were given, it's very likely that he developed it himself."

“I think the situation is even worse than that.”

I remembered what the cloaked man had told me and said to Wang Qing, "The people who attacked us today weren't wearing the funeral clothes that ordinary villagers wear, and the one who attacked me said something to me... He said that in Fengmen Village, they don't have to pay with their lives for killing people!"

While this might be boasting, judging from their attire and the man's arrogance, I feel that your senior uncle's status here is perhaps more than just that of an ordinary villager.
