Ever since he had these two concubines, Xiao Jingyi's backyard has never been peaceful.
Every night, he would spend time in a different room, while Liao was left alone in the empty room. She was filled with jealousy and resentment, but she could do nothing about it.
However, Xiao Jingyi never realized that he was being plotted against.
He thought he was just impulsive or did that because he was under too much pressure. He never thought that he would be controlled by a small aphrodisiac and become a person who completely lost himself.
Of course, this is all later!
Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, Master Wushuang was already waiting for them in the yard.
After seeing the two people come out, Master Wushuang went to greet them: "Master of the Blood Sect, Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion, good morning! You should wash up first, and then we will go to the dining hall for dinner." After that, he said to the maid behind him: "Take you two to the bathroom to wash up."
The maids responded in unison: "Yes, sir!" Then they took the two of them to the bathroom.
Soon, the two finished washing up and followed Master Wushuang to the dining hall.
Young Master Wushuang smiled and said, "Master of the Blood Sect, Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion, the food in the martial arts world is rather crude. If the food doesn't suit your taste, please let me know!"
Dark Moon Fairy glanced at the porridge, side dishes, and several large meat buns on the table and replied with a smile, "These are quite good, Master Wushuang, don't worry. We are all from the martial arts world, and we are not very particular about food."
Young Master Wushuang nodded, then continued, "I know you two are experts in the bounty business. This time, I'm asking you to help me wipe out the Poison Cult, and I hope you can offer a reasonable price."
Dark Moon Fairy was about to speak when she felt a warm hand grip hers. It was Blood Shadow, holding her hand under the table. Blood Shadow said seriously, "We don't need any reward for helping Master Wushuang! We simply want to make him our friend!"
When Dark Moon Fairy heard Blood Shadow's words, she immediately understood his intentions. She immediately echoed, "That's right. Upholding justice is the responsibility and obligation of every jianghu person!" She even deliberately puffed out her chest, looking incredibly righteous.
Upon seeing this, Master Wushuang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted to express his gratitude: "Thank you both for your righteousness! On behalf of all the people in Zhongyi City, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! If it weren't for your help, our chances of winning would have been much greater!" As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red.
Xueying looked at Master Wushuang's excitement and said quickly, "Master Wushuang, please tell us in detail what this Poison Cult is all about."
Young Master Wushuang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Then he spoke in a low voice, "This Poison Cult suddenly appeared in Zhongyi City three months ago. As soon as they arrived, they began challenging all the major sects. They are extremely skilled in the use of poison, and their methods are insidious and cunning, making it difficult to defend against them. Since their appearance, many of our sects and people in the martial arts world have fallen victim to their poisonous hands!"
At this point, Master Wushuang clenched his fists, a flicker of anger and resentment in his eyes. He continued, "Even worse is that these members of the Poison Sect have absolutely no regard for the code of conduct in the martial arts world. They won't hesitate to take down anyone they deem exploitable, regardless of whether they're an elderly or child. In a short period of time, many innocent people have been harmed, and some sects have even been wiped out!"
Hearing this, Xueying and the others' expressions also turned serious. They knew full well the terrible power of poisoners. If this problem could not be solved quickly, it would bring even greater disaster to the entire Zhongyi City.
Young Master Wushuang paused and continued, "To combat the Poison Cult, the various factions in Zhongyi City have united before, but each attempt has ended in failure. Those members of the Poison Cult are simply too cunning, and we have been unable to track them down. Furthermore, since they are skilled in the use of poison, even if we were to find them, it would be difficult to completely eliminate them."
After saying this, Master Wushuang sighed helplessly, a hint of despair in his eyes. Facing such a powerful enemy, they seemed to be at their wit's end. However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Dark Moon Enchantress's mind...
Dark Moon Enchantress said solemnly, "Use poison? Isn't their leader a man wrapped in a black robe?" Her voice was low and serious, revealing a hint of vigilance and suspicion.
Young Master Wushuang nodded, a flash of anger and hatred in his eyes as he responded, "That's exactly him! He's treacherous and cunning, and his methods are extremely cruel. He even poisoned the city's wells before, intending to kill everyone. Fortunately, our Wushuang Sect discovered and stopped his plot in time. However, we didn't expect him to be so crazy. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also slaughtered our disciples!"
Dark Moon Fairy sneered and said in a cold tone, "What a narrow road for enemies! This man is the infamous Ding Kun! Last time he was poisoned by my poison, I thought he would die. I didn't expect him to escape to Youli Kingdom and collude with the rebels there! This time, we absolutely cannot let him go. We must eradicate him completely!"
Her words were filled with determination and murderous intent, as if she had already made up her mind to avenge the dead Jianghu people. At the same time, her eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she was thinking about how to deal with this cunning enemy.
Seeing that Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy had agreed, Master Wushuang summoned the leaders of the major sects in Zhongyi City to discuss how to destroy the Poison Cult! Dark Moon Fairy explained Ding Kun's habits and weaknesses to everyone. The leaders of the major sects nodded in agreement and decided to formulate a detailed plan to encircle and eliminate the Poison Cult.
After Dark Moon Fairy and Blood Shadow returned to the room, Dark Moon Fairy asked, "Is there any reason why you changed your mind so suddenly?"
Upon hearing this, Xueying walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for Dark Moon Fairy and handed it to her.
Dark Moon Fairy took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Blood Shadow, waiting for his answer.
Xueying said in a hoarse voice, "Last night, Shang Lu learned that Zhongyi City is not only home to people from the Jianghu, but also many retired veterans who have settled here. Most of these veterans are from the Xiao Family Army, and Young Master Wushuang's father was also a general in the Xiao Family Army."
Xueying's voice was a little low: "I feel I have an obligation to help those who once fought alongside my father. Also, I think perhaps Master Wushuang's father may know some of the truth from those days."
Dark Moon Fairy frowned and asked, "The truth of that year? You mean...about your father?"
Blood Shadow nodded, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Dark Moon Fairy patted his shoulder gently and said soothingly, "If that's the case, then after we help Master Wushuang eliminate the Poison Cult, we'll go find his father and ask for the truth!"
Xueying sighed and said, "I know it's difficult to find the witnesses from that year, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I won't give up."
Dark Moon Fairy's small hand covered Blood Shadow's large hand and softly comforted him, "I will always be with you until Xiao Jingyi is brought to justice!"
The two looked at each other and could see the determination in each other's eyes.
