"I have an idea, but it's not a good one..."
At this point, the Great Elder had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the risk. He continued, "The Sect Master may have forgotten that there is one of our people beside Long Yi."
"Are you talking about Xue Hui?" The Tang Clan leader asked doubtfully, "What can she do?"
With Long Yi's strength, it would be extremely difficult for Tang Xuehui to assassinate Long Yi, which would be tantamount to giving up her life in vain.
After all, Tang Xuehui is the blood of the Tang family. We can't let her die in vain, right?
"She can do more than we thought."
The Great Elder's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "We in the Tang Sect are best at using poison. Long Yi kept Xue Hui by his side, which just happened to give us a good opportunity."
"Plus, Long Yi had just fought a fierce battle with Qin Xufei. Even if he killed Qin Xufei, his vitality would have been greatly damaged."
"Others don't know how powerful Qin Xufei is, but don't you and I know it?"
"If you want to defeat him, basically no one in Yanzhou can do it. Even if Long Yi succeeds, it will be very painful."
"We took advantage of his weakness and had Xuehui secretly poison his food, killing Long Yi without anyone noticing!"
The Great Elder had already thought of this countermeasure before, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.
The risks are simply too great.
Once they are discovered by Long Yi, he will definitely not let them go, and no one from the Tang Sect will be spared.
Thinking that Long Yi did not make things difficult for them at that time, the Great Elder gave up this idea.
But now it has come to a critical moment for the Tang Sect. Even if they don't offend Long Yi, Long Yi will still hurt them because of the incident with the pear blossom needles. Isn't the final result the same?
It would be better to take a risk and perhaps find a way to survive.
"I see…"
"Although this is not a good idea, it is still a solution."
"I'll contact Xuehui right now and ask her to do as you say!"
"Long Yi must be poisoned to death!"
The leader of the Tang Clan quickly picked up the phone on the ground, only then realizing that the call had not been hung up.
On the other end of the phone, Tang Xuehui was dumbfounded. She was staring blankly outside with an extremely ugly expression.
The Tang Clan has the supreme status in Yanzhou. As an elder of the Tang Clan, she also enjoys supreme glory and has always been proud to be a member of the Tang Clan.
But I didn't expect that the Great Elder and the Sect Master would be so despicable that they would even use such despicable means to deal with Long Yi.
How could she bring herself to do that?
"Xuehui, since you've already heard everything, I don't need to tell you anything else."
"The life and death of the Tang Clan is now in your hands."
"I know Long Yi is immune to all poisons, but everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. If it were an ordinary poison, it would naturally be unable to harm Long Yi. I remember that you went to the Shiwan Mountains before and found the only extremely poisonous fruit in the world, the Huangquan Fruit, right?"
"If Long Yi were to take the Yellow Spring Fruit, he would definitely die without a burial place."
The Tang Clan leader gritted his teeth and spoke, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Yellow Spring Fruit is the most poisonous thing in the world. It is said that it only grows on the Yellow Spring Road. Living people naturally cannot easily touch this thing.
Moreover, this thing is extremely poisonous. According to legend, the Yellow Spring Fruit is a poison used by people in the underworld to deal with evil spirits, but no one knows whether it is true or not.
But after Tang Xuehui found the Yellow Spring Fruit, the elders and the leader of the Tang Clan had joined together to study it. No matter where the Yellow Spring Fruit came from, it was indeed a highly poisonous substance.
And it’s extremely poisonous!
More potent than any poison under the sun.
If the Huangquan Fruit is ground into powder and swallowed by a person, only a few grams will cause the person to bleed from all seven orifices and die.
"I…I can't do that."
Tang Xuehui was struggling internally. She gritted her teeth and said, "Although Long Yi claimed that I was his slave and asked me to serve him for three months before giving me the freedom."
"But during this week, Long Yi never made things difficult for me. He treated me with courtesy and didn't even touch me."
"He is so kind and righteous, how could I do such a heartless thing?"
There are many reasons why Tang Xuehui doesn't want to kill Long Yi.
During the time they spent together, she had already discovered that Long Yi was a gentleman, and she was also reflecting on her previous actions.
Just as the Great Elder said just now, everything was caused by them, and they are the evil ones.
If they had restrained their greed, how could they have brought disaster upon themselves?
This is true for all the major families and the major sects, which naturally includes their Tang Sect.
Now that I have come to this point, all I can do is ask for Long Yi's forgiveness.
As for the final outcome, that is not something they can control. Adults always have to pay for their actions.
"Are you crazy?"
"Do you know that this is a moment of life and death?"
"You've only been with him for less than a week, and now you're already talking for him everywhere?"
"Tang Xuehui! Don't forget your last name is Tang. You're a member of the Tang Sect! Think about everyone's faces. Can you really watch them lie dead in the wilderness?"
The leader of the Tang Clan kept roaring angrily.
I finally saw a glimmer of hope, but is it going to be crushed by Tang Xuehui?
Everyone's life depends on Tang Xuehui alone!
The Great Elder also said repeatedly: "The Sect Master is right, you should think carefully about who you should support."
"Xuehui, even if we beg you this time, as long as you help us do this, we will never force you to do anything else in the future."
"When you return to the Tang Sect, we will tell everyone in the Tang Sect about your deeds and make everyone proud of you!"
Tang Xuehui bit her lips, applying more force than usual, and she didn't even notice that her lips were bleeding.
But she seemed to be unaware of the pain and continued to stare blankly out the window.
She could no longer hear what the two people on the phone were saying, and she felt more confused than ever before.
On one hand, there are one's relatives and friends, and on the other hand, there is Long Yi. It is indeed difficult for people to make a choice.
If Long Yi was a wicked person, she would naturally not hesitate, but everything was just the opposite. How could she become this evil person?
After a long silence, Tang Xuehui finally spoke softly, "Give me some time, I'll think it over carefully, and then I'll give you a satisfactory answer..."
