Chapter 343 Double Agent
By the time Wanwan returned to the courtyard where Chu Qinghe and the others were, it was already completely dark.
The inn's waiter is serving dishes of local delicacies to the table.
When Wanwan entered the room, the plate being served by the waiter suddenly froze.
When Chu Qinghe, who had been focusing his attention on the waiter, saw this scene, he couldn't help but look at Wanwan with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
However, the other people in the room were completely unaware of all this.
Wanwan, who was also hungry, immediately walked to the table, sat down, picked up a piece with her hand, tasted it, and looked at the food on the table with anticipation.
A moment later, after all the dishes were served, the staff announced, "Sir, your dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe reached into his robes and then took out a one-tael gold coin, tossing it to the waiter.
"Thank you for your trouble, waiter."
After accepting the piece of gold, the waiter smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."
After saying that, the waiter glanced at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue out of the corner of his eye, then bowed and left the room, closing the door behind him.
"Eat!"
After the waiter left, Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "Was there something wrong with that waiter?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "A little, but it's not a big problem. The medicine has already been administered, so he won't see the sun tomorrow."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Wanwan scoffed and said, "You're already so strong, why are you still using poison?"
Chu Qinghe didn't say much about it, but picked up his chopsticks and said, "Everyone's here, let's eat!"
Seeing that Chu Qinghe didn't say anything more, the women didn't press him further.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qu Feiyan got up and went outside to call the waiter in to clear the dishes.
As the waiter entered, he lowered his head slightly when he saw the leftover food on the table.
Then collect the dishes into the wooden tray and clean the table.
After the waiter entered the room, Chu Qinghe's gaze remained fixed on him, a warm smile playing on his lips.
After the waiter left and the door was closed again, Chu Qinghe chuckled to himself.
"interesting."
Then, with the flow of his spiritual energy, Chu Qinghe directly drew the wine glass in front of Wanwan towards himself.
During the process, Wanwan discovered that she could not sense any fluctuations of true energy within Chu Qinghe's body at all.
Previously, when Wanwan was in Chu Qinghe's courtyard, she could sense the fluctuations of Chu Qinghe's internal energy whenever he made a move.
After several months apart, Wanwan could no longer sense Chu Qinghe's true energy at all.
This scene made Wanwan mutter to herself, "How much has this guy improved in just a few months?"
However, before Wanwan could think further, she saw Chu Qinghe's hand move above the wine glass. With a few gentle rubs between his thumb and fingers, some powder fell into the wine glass.
Then, Chu Qinghe returned the wine cup to Wanwan.
Wanwan glanced at the wine glass in front of her, then looked up at Chu Qinghe across from her.
After a few moments of hesitation, Wanwan raised her finger and pointed to her eyes, saying, "Do you think my bright and lively eyes are blind? You drugged me right in front of me?"
In response to Wanwan's question, Chu Qinghe replied lazily, "This is the antidote."
"Hmm? The antidote?"
Upon hearing the voice, Wanwan couldn't help but pause in surprise.
But the next second, Wanwan came to her senses and thought of the time when Chu Qinghe gave the waiter gold.
He immediately asked, "You mean the waiter poisoned the food we had before?"
Chu Qinghe hummed in acknowledgment.
Upon seeing this, Wanwan understood the reason and quickly began to circulate her true energy within her body.
A moment later, Wanwan indeed noticed some abnormalities in her body.
After drinking the cup of wine that Chu Qinghe brought back, under Wanwan's observation, the toxins in her body were quickly eliminated.
After circulating her inner energy once more, Wanwan felt relieved.
However, when her gaze fell on Chu Qinghe and the others, Wanwan asked suspiciously, "That's not right! You all ate the food just now, so why am I the only one taking the antidote?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The poison in their bodies had already been neutralized before you came in. Afterwards, seeing that you had already taken a bite, we were worried that it would affect your appetite, so we waited until you finished eating before we talked about it."
Wanwan: "Hehe, you're so thoughtful!"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's alright."
Wanwan: "........."
Wanwan didn't understand, but the other girls certainly did: Chu Qinghe hadn't given them any antidote from beginning to end.
The reason they didn't care was probably because the poison on the table was useless to them.
Then, Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Was the waiter who just poisoned the shopkeeper a member of the Bad People?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Although this sleeping potion is special, it only works on martial artists below the Grandmaster level. If the waiter were a scoundrel, he wouldn't use such a weak poison."
Whether it was her imagination or not, Wanwan felt that Chu Qinghe's words were subtly directed at her.
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "The sleeping potion that was just given usually takes five hours to take effect. Since we used such a poison, we'll know what's going on after three hours."
However, just as Chu Qinghe uttered these words, Wanwan on the other side raised an eyebrow.
