Chapter 91 Drugging
Under the dazzling golden light of the fire, the silver cup was held high, standing tall and upright.
It carried the excited voice of the young master.
"Let's congratulate Young Hero Gu on achieving such an excellent ranking on the martial arts leaderboard on just three days after arriving at Biluo Manor."
"Congratulations."
"congratulate."
At a victory celebration banquet, people of all ranks attended.
They all raised their glasses together to offer their blessings to Young Master Gu.
Take this opportunity to get to know this promising young newcomer to the martial arts world.
Gu Chaomu received unparalleled glory and was showered with gifts, including treasures of all sizes.
A proud smile also appeared on his face.
"Thank you all, I appreciate your kind gesture."
Some people asked out of curiosity:
"Young Master Gu is so talented at such a young age, he's truly amazing. We were watching from below the stage with our hearts pounding. Could you please tell us how Young Master Gu managed to shatter the legendary invulnerable soft sword? It would broaden the horizons of us ordinary swordsmen, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, everyone is very curious."
"... "
When Gu Chaomu was asked about this, he humbly glanced at Xie Ze, who was a few people away.
Seeing that the other person took a small sip of wine and didn't seem to care much, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said it casually:
"Perhaps it's just divine intervention and luck."
"Eh? Young Master Gu is too modest! How could luck possibly shatter such a powerful sword?"
Gu Chaomu listened with a forced smile, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and didn't intend to say anything more.
"... "
But at this moment, Zhou Jiang, who was close to the young master, came to the rescue:
"Young Master Gu is my newly taken-in disciple, so please don't ask any further questions. After all, we won the match today..."
Zhou Jiang smiled and paused for a moment, then gently tapped his temple with his finger.
continued:
"This place deserves a lot of credit."
Everyone nodded in approval:
"So that's how it is. Young Master Gu won the competition by using his wits. No wonder Senior Zhou Jiang took him as his disciple. We were foolish."
"Not at all. We're all from the martial world, and we all know that what matters most in the martial world is winning and losing, not just brute force. There's a solution to everything; it's just a matter of who has the ability. Otherwise, how could the Qiao family have held the position of leader of the martial world for two generations?"
"Yes Yes Yes."
"!!!"
They were chatting when they suddenly started talking about Leader Qiao.
Qiao Wanwan and Mo Zilin, who were sitting and eating nearby, were somewhat displeased.
Mo Zilin shouted, "Defend the Qiao family!"
"Senior Zhou, please don't pretend we don't exist."
"Haha, Young Master Mo and Miss Qiao, of course I knew you were here. I didn't mean to belittle your Qiao family. Don't take my words to heart."
"Hmph, our Qiao family has been known throughout the martial world for its fairness. If it weren't for Alliance Leader Qiao's efforts to regulate the martial world and coordinate with the imperial court, this family might have been wiped out long ago. Where in this world would there still be a place for martial artists to stay?"
"... "
As Mo Zilin's words became increasingly serious, even the young master couldn't help but cough lightly.
"This is a serious topic. Today is Young Master Gu's victory celebration banquet. We should be congratulating Young Master Gu."
The others chimed in with forced smiles:
"Yes, yes, if Young Master Gu gets a good ranking, he must drink with us until we drop."
"it is good."
"Humph!"
Mo Zilin had no intention of attending Gu Chaomu's victory celebration banquet in the first place.
What's there to celebrate about having a love rival?
It was just good luck that he won the game; it's no big deal for him.
only…
The thought of the witch's medicine on him, which he hadn't even used yet, made him itchy with desire.
So he took advantage of the celebration banquet to secretly give the medicine to his junior sister.
He glanced at his junior sister not far away, who was constantly eating with her chopsticks, but hadn't touched her wine at all.
Presumably, she doesn't like drinking.
He then summoned a servant, who brought him clean tea. When no one was watching, he secretly added white powder to the tea.
The white powder dissolves instantly in water and is colorless and odorless.
I even shook the teapot in my hand to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
Only then did he show tenderness and approach Qiao Wanwan silently.
...
Qiao Wanwan kept her head down, casually tasting her food. As for Gu Chaomu's celebration banquet, everyone's praise was insincere and there wasn't much to say.
Sitting next to Xie Ze made things even more difficult.
The other person seemed to be sulking with her; ever since they sat down together, they hadn't given her a kind look.
She smiled and said to the other person:
"Hi! What a coincidence, you were also assigned to sit here? Then we're neighbors now."
"... "
The man would either glare at her or ignore her; if their eyes met, his gaze could kill her.
She could only awkwardly shrink her neck, no longer wanting to anger him.
"Hey!"
The villain's thoughts are hard to fathom!
Could it be that the villain held a grudge because she secretly sneaked into the hot spring?
Logically speaking, he couldn't find any evidence to prove that he had hurt him, so he shouldn't be so petty, right?
But who knows, the villain might be an outsider?
If he were Gu Chaomu, he would definitely be very happy.
Unfortunately for her, she was already thankful that the villain didn't kill her.
I need to find some time to sound him out and see what he's thinking now.
Qiao Wanwan was poking at the peanuts in the bowl with her chopsticks, trying to think of a solution.
But then I heard Mo Zilin's voice in my ear.
"Junior Sister Wanwan."
"?"
Qiao Wanwan looked at the man in front of her and handed him the teapot with a smile.
"Senior brother, what is this?"
"Junior sister, you can't drink alcohol. So your senior brother got you some flower tea. Just drink tea instead of alcohol, don't force yourself and ruin your health."
Suddenly reminded by Mo Zilin, Qiao Wanwan had a flash of inspiration.
I was just worrying about how to communicate with the villain, and now I've found a way!
She smiled sweetly and had her maid, Chunxia, take the tea from her.
He turned back to thank Mo Zilin and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. Luckily you reminded me, and Wanwan knows what to do now."
"?"
Mo Zilin was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what she was saying.
Seeing the woman take out a clean cup, he hurriedly urged the maid:
"Spring and summer, fill it up quickly."
"Yes, ma'am."
The tea, laced with a colorless and odorless drug, slowly flowed into the teacup in Qiao Wanwan's hand.
Mo Zilin stared wide-eyed at the teacup in her hand, not daring to move an inch.
I just wanted to watch Qiao Wanwan drink it.
After she drinks it, the effects of the drug will inevitably appear in less than a minute, and she will start to feel dizzy.
He would then "send" Qiao Wanwan back to her room, and while he was calling Chunxia to get water, he would take his junior sister Wanwan away.
This was something he had personally experienced, so he was naturally very confident.
"??"
Qiao Wanwan, holding the teacup she had just filled, noticed that Mo Zilin, who was standing next to her, had not yet left.
Then he asked in confusion:
"Senior brother, is there anything else? If not, could you please return to your seat? It's not appropriate for you to stand here."
"Oh, of course. Please enjoy your meal, junior sister."
"Ok."
Mo Zilin walked and looked around.
Until Qiao Wanwan moved the cup of tea laced with medicine and handed it to the disabled man sitting next to her, she smiled and said something politely.
Mo Zilin stumbled and almost fell flat on his face...
