“Alright then.” Black Ball had a helpless expression on its face as if it was forced to play with Su Qian. As Su Qian raised her hand and pretended to slap it, Black Ball also cooperated and raised its voice. After wailing, it clutched its heart and spun around twice. Then, it dramatically collapsed onto the table, its little legs twitching as it pretended to be dead.

Su Qian and Qian Rong laughed out loud. They were quite satisfied with Black Ball’s performance.

After rewarding Black Ball with a treat, Su Qian looked up and met Xiao Yan’s gaze. “Is there something?”

“Yes.” Xiao Yan walked up quickly and sat beside Su Qian. “The Sect Master, Elders, and some of the direct disciples and servants of the Tianji Sect have all been poisoned.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Su Qian heard this, she raised her eyebrows in confusion. “What do you mean? Who poisoned them?”

“I’m not sure. The culprit hasn’t been caught yet. Moreover, from the information I gathered, the poison they’ve afflicted with is quite unusual. Everyone vomited and had diarrhea, and blood spurted out from their mouths and noses. Some of them were severely poisoned and even had blisters on their bodies. They’re all intensely itchy and the doctors were helpless about this. They only knew that they were poisoned, but they didn’t know what kind of poison they were poisoned with.”

“A poison that Qin Guang didn’t even notice is at least of the sixth-grade. The strongest alchemist in Tianji Sect is only at the peak of fourth-grade, so naturally, there’s no way to detoxify it.” Su Qian finished speaking and scrutinized Xiao Yan from head to toe. Her expression suggested that she had something to say but was hesitant to speak.

“Are you asking if I poisoned them?” Xiao Yan saw through Su Qian’s thoughts and asked.

Su Qian raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “I’m just curious how you could have possibly poisoned them.”

Su Qian didn’t think that an ordinary person would have the ability to poison so many people in Tianji Sect. Since she wasn’t involved, Xiao Yan seemed to be the only one capable of such a feat.

However, this man had stuck to her like sticky candy and had never left her for a moment. She had no idea when he could have carried out such an act.

“Am I so ruthless in your heart that I would lay my hands on an innocent person?” Xiao Yan completely ignored the existence of Black Ball and Qian Rong. As he spoke, he quietly approached Su Qian as if he was hurt.

Qian Rong had already learned of Xiao Yan’s identity from Su Qian, so she was a little embarrassed when she saw this scene.

Su Qian, on the other hand, lounged lazily like a car, raised her hand, and pressed it against Xiao Yan’s mask, blocking his approach. “Your Highness is right. In my eyes, Your Highness is indeed an unscrupulous person.”

Xiao Yan smiled, “But unfortunately, this matter has nothing to do with me.”

“Really? Then who is it?” Su Qian frowned in confusion.

“You want to know? Shall I help you find out?” Xiao Yan asked.

“There’s no need for that. It’s a matter of Tianji Sect after all, and has nothing to do with me,” Su Qian said nonchalantly as she watched Yan Chen and Feng Tianjiao rush in.

“Sister Su, have you heard?” Feng Tianjiao sat down beside Su Qian and naturally hugged Su Qian’s arm. The smile on her face was bright as she said happily, “Many people in Tianji Sect have been poisoned!”

“I heard about it..” After asking Qian Rong to serve tea for the two of them, Su Qian casually asked, “Speaking of which, how did these people suddenly get poisoned?”
