Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't understand what you're saying, Lord Ma, are you delusional?"
At the same time, his eyes began to scan the surroundings, and his muscles were already subtly tensing, ready to strike at any moment.
Ma An laughed: "Is Eleventh Lord planning to kill someone to silence them? That's right, as embroidered-robed envoys, you have the right to execute first and report later."
Zuan's voice also turned cold: "Did you come to my house just to say a bunch of nonsensical things?"
“I came here, of course, to confirm your relationship with Gold Medal Eleven,” Ma An said. “At first I wasn’t quite sure, but after seeing your reaction, I’m now absolutely certain.”
Zu An narrowed his eyes: "Lord Ma seems quite confident. Are you really not afraid of something unexpected happening here?"
Although the other party was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, the Imperial Medical Academy was not known for its cultivation level. Judging from his energy fluctuations, he was only at the early stage of the sixth rank. Since he knew that I was the eleventh gold medalist, where did he get the courage to come to my door alone?
“We at the Imperial Medical Academy have never been into fighting or killing. As the saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable. Since we are good at healing people, we are naturally good at poisoning them as well,” Ma An glanced at the candle on the table. “Don’t you feel weak all over right now, with your vital energy completely depleted?”
Zu An's expression changed, and he rushed out, but halfway there, he fell heavily to the ground: "You...you actually poisoned me, how despicable!"
Seeing his shocked and angry expression, Mi Li, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't known that he was immune to all poisons, she would have been fooled by his reaction. This guy is a natural actor.
Ma An, of course, could not know the truth. Seeing his reaction, he smiled and said, "We are both killing people. You use swords to kill people, and I use poison to kill people. How is that despicable? The reason why humans are better than animals is that humans are good at making use of things and can use their brains."
As he spoke, he tapped his temple with his hand, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Zuan asked "weakly," "What kind of poison is this? Why is it so potent?"
When talking about his proudest achievement, Ma An immediately perked up and took out a pitch-black porcelain bottle from his pocket: "This poison is called Ice Heart Snow Soul. I obtained it from a near-death experience in my early years. Once poisoned, the whole body feels like it is in a world of ice and snow. The movement of the limbs and the circulation of vital energy will eventually be frozen and unable to move."
“Even a grandmaster would likely die from this poison, let alone someone with your current cultivation level.” Ma An’s face showed a hint of pain as he carefully placed the porcelain bottle in his bosom. “To fall victim to such a rare poison that even a grandmaster cannot resist, you can be said to have died a worthy death.”
Zu'an was secretly alarmed. Hearing him describe the poison as so potent, he wondered if the immunity to all poisons brought by his "Primordial Chaos Scripture" could withstand it.
He quietly circulated some of his vital energy and indeed felt a trace of cold energy penetrating his limbs and bones, but it was quickly dissolved automatically by the primordial true energy within his body, and there was no major abnormality overall.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then seized the opportunity to ask, "We have no grudge against each other, why did you do this to me?"
"No enmity?" Upon hearing this, Ma An's expression twisted instantly. "Twenty years ago, my younger brother died at the hands of a Gold Medal Embroidered-Robe Envoy. Every time I see you Gold Medal Embroidered-Robe Envoys, I wish I could kill you as soon as possible. How can you say we have no enmity?"
Anger level from Ma An: +444 +444 +444...
Sensing his intense resentment, Zu'an couldn't help but complain. How did these people in the palace conduct their political vetting? They actually recruited such a problematic guy into the Imperial Hospital and made him a judge there.
"But I wasn't the one who harmed your brother. I've only been in the capital for a short time; I'm just here to make a quick buck." Zu'an tried to clear himself of any involvement, otherwise it would be too frustrating to fight to the death over such a nonsensical reason.
"Shut up! You embroidered-robed envoys all deserve to die!" Ma An's eyes were a little red. "It's a pity that Cheng Xiong is too useless. Last time he came to the Imperial Hospital to inquire about the withdrawal of various medicines, I hinted that there was a problem with the medicine for treating the soul that Gold Medal Eleven received. In the end, he not only failed to kill you, but you killed him instead."
Zu An suddenly realized why Cheng Xiong was able to find out about him so conveniently, and why Zhu Xie Chixin also became suspicious of him. It turned out that this guy was behind it all.
He said in a deep voice, "But the Embroidered-Robe Envoys are all acting in accordance with the Emperor's will. Do you intend to seek revenge against the Emperor?"
Ma An chuckled: "I'm not stupid, so of course I wouldn't dare to go after the Emperor. All I need to do is kill you Golden Token Envoys. This is the vow I made at my brother's grave. Over the years, I've already eliminated three of them, and you're about to become the fourth."
Zuan: "..."
Everyone had been praising the Golden Embroidered Robe Envoy so highly, but he didn't even realize his base had been raided. How embarrassing!
Does this guy harbor such a deep resentment because he has a brother complex?
He couldn't help but say, "You slaughtered several top-ranking envoys because of this? Do you know that this is a catastrophe that could lead to the annihilation of your entire family and clan?"
"Who would know I was the one who killed you if you died?" Ma An sneered, clearly not taking it seriously. "But if you obediently answer a few questions for me, I might make your death a little more painful."
Zuan sighed: "I've really messed up here today. So, what do you want to ask?"
He also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the intelligence behind the other party. He always felt that this matter was not so simple. Which of those gold medal embroidered envoys was not a highly skilled and meticulous person? How could they be easily ambushed by him?
