Faced with Lu Yuan's relentless pressure, Du Chao turned pale with fright.
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the other guests present also vaguely understood something.
"Logically speaking, the master should be able to sense when a beast is poisoned or injured immediately!"
"But didn't Yunmao go to the hospital for a checkup and they said it was a problem with forcibly altering her bloodline? How did it turn into poisoning?"
"That's just this person's side of the story. Who knows if it's true or false? On the other hand, Yunmao really came back to life under the store manager's care!"
People around him were talking amongst themselves, and their gazes toward Du Chao were filled with skepticism.
Zheng Meng stood there dumbfounded, never expecting that Lu Yuan could turn the unfavorable situation around with just a few words.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say? If you have any questions, just ask, and I'll answer them for you."
Lu Yuan squinted at Du Chao, a faint smile on his lips, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down Du Chao's spine.
"How do you know Yunmao is infected with a virus? Without evidence, I don't believe a word you say, you liar!"
Du Chao stubbornly insisted that Lu Yuan had no evidence.
However.
Lu Yuan had anticipated his response and put the cloud cat back into the detector.
[Race: Cloud Cat]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Potential: Fifth Rank of Profound Truth]
[Bloodline: Profound True Seventh Rank (Divine Beast Celestial Dog, Bloodline Concentration 1/10,000)]
[Talent: Nebula Mist Wilderness]
[Skills: Charge, Cloud Leap, Heavenly Meteor Strike]
[Status: Childhood, very healthy]
"Can you see what's written here? 'Perfectly healthy,' which means Yunmao's body is fine, and... how do you know I can't produce evidence?"
As he spoke.
Lu Yuan turned his head and gave Xiao Yi a look.
Xiao Yi stretched out her left hand and slowly opened her palm, revealing a ball of purple liquid enveloped in spiritual energy.
"This is the poison extracted from the cloud cat's body!"
Seeing the venom in Xiao Yi's hand, the cloud cat, which had just been behaving docilely and obediently in Lu Yuan's arms, suddenly bristled and bared its teeth at Xiao Yi, clearly looking terrified.
Upon seeing this, the scene erupted in an uproar.
"Indeed! When this elf was treating the Cloud Cat, it extracted this purple liquid!"
"It seems the store manager was right! Yunmao wasn't in critical condition because of some forced bloodline reversal; he was poisoned!"
"Knowing full well that he was poisoned, he still came to the Divine Beast Pavilion to cause trouble. This person is truly treacherous!"
Seeing the people around him pointing and whispering about him, Du Chao's face paled even more, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Upon seeing this.
Lu Yuan sneered and gave Mu Ruxing, who was standing at the door waiting for orders, a wink.
Mu Ruxing immediately stepped forward and "invited" Du Chao into the backyard, while Lu Yuan smiled and clapped his hands at everyone.
"Alright! The matter has been investigated and cleared up; it was just a misunderstanding. I will teach this gentleman how to get along with the cloud cat. Dear customers, please continue shopping with peace of mind. If you find any problems in the Divine Beast Pavilion, please feel free to report them to me. Happy shopping!"
After saying that.
Lu Yuan looked at Zheng Meng.
Zheng Meng reacted instantly, and immediately smiled as she dispersed the customers who had formed a circle around her, guiding them to continue shopping and making purchases.
Seeing that order had been restored in the Divine Beast Pavilion, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk into the backyard.
"Speak, who sent you?"
Looking down at Du Chao, who was thrown on the ground, Lu Yuan asked in a cold voice.
"What are you saying? I don't understand!"
Du Chao turned his head away from Lu Yuan's gaze and said, forcing himself to speak.
"Stop pretending. I knew you were sent to cause trouble the moment you opened your mouth!" Lu Yuan said disdainfully, stroking his chin. "Let me guess, are you from the Divine Sea Beast Shop?"
"??!!"
Du Chaoqiang suppressed his shock to keep from crying out, but his shocked eyes betrayed him.
"It really was them."
Lu Yuan nodded as expected, showing no surprise at the result.
He had only been in Yandu for about ten days, and apart from the Divine Sea Beast Shop, he had no enemies.
Moreover, seeing that the business of the Divine Beast Pavilion is booming day by day, it is reasonable for the Divine Sea Beast Shop to take action against them.
But these methods are a bit too underhanded.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan kicked Du Chao on the ground and frowned as he asked.
"What's going on with the cloud cat? How did you become the master of the contract? And what's with the poison? Tell me everything truthfully!"
He clearly remembered that the person who came to buy and contract the cloud cat was not Du Chao. How could the cloud cat suddenly become Du Chao's tamed beast?
What he found most unbearable was...
The cloud cat was a cub he had raised, yet it suffered such abuse after being contracted; it was utterly heartless!
"Tell me! Tell me! Please, please stop hitting me!"
Du Chao curled up on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, his face covered in snot and tears.
"explain!"
Lu Yuan gave a low shout.
"The person who made a contract with the Cloud Cat was kidnapped by the people from the Divine Beast Shop after leaving the Divine Beast Pavilion. It seems that some of them know a secret technique to forcibly transfer the contract object. They were also the ones who poisoned the Cloud Cat. I was just doing my job for money!"
Du Chao told everything he knew in one go.
He was greedy for money, but he was even more afraid of death.
Don't let the young age of the store manager in front of him fool you; his aura is terrifying. He has no doubt that if he's lying, he'll be in for a lot of trouble!
Lu Yuan stared at Du Chao, and after seeing that he was indeed not lying, he kicked him away.
"Alright, you can leave now, but you can't take Yunmao with you!"
Du Chao was immediately relieved, no longer caring about whether it was a cloud cat or not. He didn't like the kitten anyway, so he turned around and ran away without looking back.
After Du Chao disappeared from sight, Mu Ruxing stepped forward, leaned close to Lu Yuan, and whispered something.
"Young Master Lu, should I go to the Divine Sea Beast Shop and give them a warning?"
After Lu Yuan performed the mythical baptism on the Sky Python, Mu Ruxing's Beast Tamer level also improved. He is now a Beast Tamer of the Heavenly Evolution Rank 10, just one step away from touching the Nirvana Tribulation and transforming into a Phantom God.
With such strength, let alone a small Divine Sea Beast shop, even the boss of Yandu would have to bow his head and greet him.
But Lu Yuan waved his hand to stop him.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. Even if you warn them, it's useless. As long as they have greedy thoughts, they will definitely target the Divine Beast Pavilion."
"Then we..."
"Their arrogant behavior will surely leave them with a lot of leverage. Have someone secretly collect these, and when the opportunity arises, wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
...
Despite Du Chao's troubles, the business at the Divine Beast Pavilion did not decline; on the contrary, more customers were attracted by Lu Yuan's responsible and decisive style.
Zheng Meng was busy until nightfall before seeing off the last customer.
"You've worked hard, go home and rest now."
Lu Yuan canceled Zheng Meng's daily cleaning duties and sent her straight off work.
After Zheng Meng left, he immediately closed the shop, returned to his room, and entered the Beast Taming Space.
"I still have important things to do today!"
