"No, no, no," the people from the Shi family outside waved their hands repeatedly. Now everyone knows that Dongfang Mian is an Emperor-level Poison Master. You can die however he tells you to.
"Now that we've completed the mission, let's hurry back to report to the family head," the Shi family member said cautiously.
"Who's talking to you like that? I have things to do, so you all go back and report to your superiors. I'll go find Patriarch Shi myself after I'm done," Dongfang Mian said irritably.
"Ah...this..." The Shi family member hesitated. Before coming out, the family head had specifically instructed them not to cause any trouble. If this great poison master went out and accidentally revealed the Shi family's affairs, they would be held responsible. Yes, they could not agree to this under any circumstances.
"Haven't you made up your mind yet?" Dongfang Mian said coldly, her fingers rubbing together again, producing dangerous black smoke.
“I’ve thought it through, and I think this matter…” the Shi family member said righteously, “Of course there’s no problem at all. Before the patriarch came out, he specifically instructed us to listen to the Eastern Poison Master. Now that you have important matters to attend to, you can just let these poison masters and me go back to report to the patriarch.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Mian withdrew the black smoke from his fingertips with satisfaction. The group of poison masters looked at the Shi family members who had spoken with disdain, thinking, "You clearly don't think that way at all."
The Shi family could only scratch their heads awkwardly. What could they do? After all, the leak of the plan was just a matter of settling scores afterward. If they didn't let this master poisoner leave now, they might as well dig a hole and bury themselves on the spot.
After giving Guiyue a few more instructions, Dongfang Mian led her people away in the opposite direction.
"Why is there a child by the side of the Eastern Poison Master?" the Shi family asked curiously.
"We don't know either. We're curious too. Why don't you go after them and ask them for us?" the poison master said with ill intent.
The Shi family member immediately shut his mouth, but as one of the few members of the Shi family who was not a poison master, he did not dare to easily provoke these poison masters in front of him, so he had no choice but to swallow all his grievances.
Some of the poison masters, seeing that he looked really pitiful, comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, we Eastern poison masters are always very fast. You might only arrive a day or two later than us, so you can explain it to Patriarch Shi."
With no other good options, the Shi family had no choice but to pin their hopes on this. They dejectedly led the remaining poison masters to tidy up and wash before returning to see the family head.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Mian led a group of people to the Immortal City, where the Mu family's main family was located. As soon as they entered the city, before they could even catch their breath, Mu Bai pulled them into the Mu family's residence.
"Young Master, you're back!" the guard at the Mu family's gate said respectfully, but then quickly realized, "Wait a minute, when did you go out, Young Master?"
All that was left for him was Mu Bai's hurried disappearance. The guard could only stand at the door and silently try to recall which day his young master had run away from the manor.
At this moment, Mu Bai had already dragged Dongfang Mian into the residence of the Mu family head. The Mu family head was discussing something with several elders. Seeing Mu Bai rush in without waiting to be announced, he said with displeasure, "Bai'er, have you forgotten all the manners I taught you? Don't you know how to announce your arrival or even knock on the door?!"
Mu Bai didn't care about anything else and shouted excitedly, "Dad! My mother, my mother is saved!"
"What did you say!" The head of the Mu family suddenly stood up from his chair and said excitedly.
