Chapter 262: There are always people who want to harm me
Su Wan looked at the large rosewood bracelet on her wrist, then looked at her second brother in confusion, and then she took it off swiftly.
However, she picked it up and smelled it first. The fragrance was still that pure sandalwood scent, but in an instant, Su Wan felt dizzy.
Because she took a big sip, the smell was particularly strong and she couldn't help but fall backwards. Fortunately, Sun Ling'er supported her.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Her tone was a little anxious, and Su Mu was also anxious. He quickly reached out to help her, but because there was someone opposite him, he couldn't help her in time.
"What's going on?"
Sun Ling'er quickly poured her a glass of water, then found a bottle of medicine from her body and poured out two pills for her to take.
"Just take this medicine. It's good for your health. You'll feel better after taking it."
Indeed, after just a few moments, Su Wan began to feel a little nauseous. She handed the bracelet to her second brother:
"Brother, I think there's something wrong with this bracelet!"
Su Mu took the bracelet and put it under his nose to smell it. Sun Ling'er wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
However, it was very strange that Su Mu did not feel any discomfort after smelling it.
"Why am I okay?"
"Let me smell it!" Sun Ling'er stretched out her hand and asked him to take the bracelet.
Su Mu hesitated for a moment, but still gave it to her. Sun Ling'er also smelled it and found that she was fine.
"This is really strange. Why did Wanwan react so strongly after smelling it, but we were fine?"
Sun Ling'er began to realize that this matter was not simple.
Su Mu shook his head, unable to explain. He had just smelled it, and there was no special ingredient on the bracelet. Even with his sensitive nose, he couldn't smell it.
"This rosewood bracelet was indeed left by the old sect master's wife. In my impression, he always wore it with him. He treasured it very much in front of others and behind their backs." Sun Ling'er explained. It was indeed so in her impression. This thing was the old sect master's favorite.
"Sandalwood is supposed to soothe the mind, so it's not like Wanwan can't smell it. You gave her a sandalwood necklace before, and she wore it for a few days without feeling any discomfort. That means there's something wrong with this bracelet, and maybe the poison is inside.
"This is the Sect Master's beloved possession. If the person who poisoned it wanted to hide it from the old Sect Master's eyes and avoid suspicion, it can only be said that this person must be deeply trusted by the Sect Master. Or, perhaps, he has been serving the Sect Master personally for many years, which has given him the opportunity to come into contact with these items that the old Sect Master often touches. In other words, there must be a traitor in the Sect Master's circle. If we can find this person, we will have a breakthrough." Su Mu analyzed calmly.
"But the problem now is to confirm whether this bracelet is really poisonous. If you can't be sure whether it is poisonous or caused by some other reason, you can't tell. Even if you find a suspect, you won't be able to prove that he poisoned the bracelet. We must find strong evidence to prove it!"
Sun Ling'er's mind was still clear. If this was really a poison, it must be a very powerful poison, colorless and odorless, a chronic poison that killed people invisibly. Generally, this kind of poison was difficult to cure, and even her grandfather could not judge it. It would be difficult to find a second person in the world who could cure it, unless the person who developed this poison was found. He might have the antidote, and this was the only chance of survival.
Su Wan listened to them for a long time, and felt a little confused. He couldn't help but say:
"Is it possible that this poison needs an initiator? This is my first time at Fengyue Villa, and I haven't been with the old master for long, so my reaction to the poison is more obvious. But you have all been staying at Fengyue Villa for a long time, and have been with the old master. You must be used to the initiator, so you didn't react much when you smelled it, let alone the old master? The poisoner must have known that this bracelet was the best entry point, so he poisoned it there.
Besides, you also said that this is the old master's favorite thing, and he wears it every day, no one else can touch it, so there is no impact, who can suspect it?"
Su Wan's words awakened the dreamer. Sun Ling'er and Su Mu looked at each other and had the same idea.
"Why don't we test it?" the two of them said almost in unison.
"What are you going to do?" Sun Ling'er wanted to know if his idea was the same as hers.
"Get some disciples from within the sect over here. First, try it out with the people from Zhaixing Pavilion to see how they react. Then, go find a few people from Fengyue Pavilion and try it out. Furthermore, this must be done quietly, without alerting the enemy."
Sure enough, just as Sun Ling'er thought, after trying it once, she could tell whether it was the people in the entire Fengyue Villa who had no reaction, or whether it was only the people in Fengyue Pavilion who had no reaction.
If only the people inside Fengyue Pavilion did not react to this, it means that only Fengyue Pavilion had this so-called trigger, and there was no reaction in other places. Then it would be easy to distinguish them.
If there is no reaction, there is a problem; if there is a reaction, there is no problem, which means they have not been exposed to the source of the poison.
"Yes, I want to do that too." Sun Ling'er agreed.
Su Wan was standing aside, looking at Sun Ling'er and then at Su Mu. He just felt that they were so cute and that they were a perfect match.
At this time, Liuying and Liuyun brought two plates of food over, filling the small table in an instant.
They were all light meals. Su Wan had just smelled the bracelet and felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she could only eat something light.
Su Wan had been climbing the mountain for the whole morning and hadn't eaten anything yet, so he had to eat something to fill his stomach.
Liuyun brought her the porridge, along with some side dishes. When Su Wan was about to take it, Su Mu stopped her:
"Wait, let me test it first." Su Mu said, took out the small bag he carried with him, and took out a silver needle specially used for testing poison from it.
Su Wan and Liuyun Liuying looked at him blankly, only Sun Ling'er was relatively calm.
Afterwards, Su Mu used a silver needle to test the food on the table one by one, and repeatedly confirmed that it was not poisonous before letting her eat it with peace of mind.
After finishing, he wiped the silver needle clean and handed it to Liuying:
"From now on, everything your young lady eats, drinks, or drinks, anything she puts into the mouth, must be tested with a silver needle. The situation at Fengyue Villa is different now, so it's best to be cautious."
Su Mu is also worried that Su Wan will be hurt, so he is so strict. It is understandable.
Sun Ling'er also nodded in agreement and deliberately lowered her voice:
"That's right. You've seen the old sect leader's health condition. Many people in the sect are eyeing the position of the next sect leader. The old sect leader has already nominated Brother Yu as the next sect leader. You're the girl he loves and brought back home. He's afraid someone will take advantage of you, so be careful."
Sun Ling'er deliberately emphasized the words "the girl I like", which made Su Wan feel embarrassed.
At the same time as I felt embarrassed, I felt a chill on my back, as if there were always villains who wanted to harm me.
She is the most cautious person, so if she says that, she must be rigorous, rigorous, and rigorous again.
