Supreme Crazy Wife - Chapter 2228

2228 Badly battered (3)

“Elder Yao Jiu, don’t be so full of yourself. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you have one. To be able to take in a poisonous beast as a contracted beast is also a kind of ability, no? But the premise is that you have to find a way to get rid of this snake poison! Otherwise, our ning family’s seventh elder and my pitiful subordinates will suffer!” The master of the ning family was understanding.

Zong Yun also nodded in agreement,””Master ning is right. Curing the poison is the top priority. Otherwise, once these people’s poison is deepened, even if an alchemy God came, he would be powerless!”

As he said this, Zong Yun had already inspected Leng ruoxue and the others, and had come to the same conclusion. However, from his point of view, the poison wasn’t too deep for the others, but there were two people who were rather severely poisoned.

!!
Then, he started to check the food on the table.

In the end, Zong Yun found out the source of the poison and said to elder Yao Jiu,””Ninth elder, this food and tea are poisoned. According to my guess, the poison should have been in the water. So, ninth elder, please immediately order people to seal the two wells of the Yao family. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

When the ninth elder of the Yao family heard Zong Yun’s words, he was just about to ask for the permission of the family head when he received a report from the waiter, saying that the Cheng family, Yin family, Lu family, and the others were also showing signs of poisoning. Instantly, he had a big headache!

Elder Yao Jiu, who felt that the matter was too serious, apologized to the ning family head. Before he left, he ordered his attendants to carefully carry the person back to his room and then hurriedly left the ning family’s guest courtyard to go to the other three families.

Seeing the ninth elder of the Yao family in such a terrible state, the master of the ning family felt very satisfied! But he didn’t expect that Xue ‘er would be so fast and think so perfectly. If only the ning family was poisoned, the Yao family would not be able to back out! However, now that there were three more families, it would be impossible for the Yao family to get over all of this easily!

The ning family’s master’s mood instantly brightened, and he even found the Yao family’s Alchemist to be much more pleasing to the eye. He pulled Zong Yun aside and asked, but his face was still filled with worry.

It had to be said that after being with Leng ruoxue for so long, master ning had learned to be able to fool people without changing his expression!

As a matter of fact, after Zong Yun was flattered by him, it was as if he had found a confidant, and he was a little smug. He even very seriously promised the master of the ning family that he would do his best to cure everyone in the ning family.

Just as the two of them were chatting as if they regretted not meeting each other earlier, the ninth elder of the Yao family, who was alone among the people of the Cheng, Yin, and Lu families, couldn’t help but feel exhausted.

Originally, he had wanted to send someone to the ning family’s guest house to invite Zong Yun to treat the three families and see if they were poisoned by the same poison. However, when he thought of the ning family’s master’s expression, he gave up on this idea and sent three alchemists to each of these three places. In the end, he concluded that these three families were also poisoned, but the degree of the poison was slightly different.

This result was quite similar to the ning family ‘s!

The four alchemists had come to the same conclusion, so elder Yao Jiu naturally did not suspect that they had made a mistake. Therefore, after personally reporting the situation to his family head, he rushed to the ning family’s guest courtyard without stopping.

Although it was four families that were poisoned, in elder Yao Jiu’s heart, the ning family was still the most important. After all, the old man of the ning family was even more difficult to deal with than the other three families. Moreover, the other three families did not come in person, so they were naturally not as good when they met.

But when he arrived at the ning family’s guest house, he saw the master of the ning family and Zong Yun talking happily. When the master of the ning family saw him, his originally smiling face was covered with dark clouds. This result made his heart instantly feel stifled.

The difference in treatment was too obvious! He wasn’t the one who poisoned the ning family, so why did they have to give him attitude? The ninth elder of the Yao family felt extremely wronged! But he didn’t dare to show it, and he had to smile.

Zong Yun was also quite happy to see master ning giving the ninth elder of the Yao family a hard time! It had to be said that the Yao family’s relationship with others was really too bad!

In fact, Zong Yun couldn’t be blamed for being a traitor. The Yao family had always respected him as the head Alchemist on the surface, but many of the Yao family members didn’t think much of his status, thinking that he was just a worker for the Yao family. Those Yao family members might not be willing to offend him on the surface, but in the dark, they had always tried to make things difficult for him. He couldn’t find any evidence, so he could only suffer in silence. After all, the Yao family had treated him well.

Now, Zong Yun saw that someone dared to give the Yao family a hard time. Although it wasn’t because of him, he still felt very happy! At the same time, he was even more respectful to the master of the ning family.

Sensing this change, the master of the ning family was secretly pleased with himself. Then, he said to the ninth elder of the Yao family in a seemingly concerned manner,””What’s the situation with the other three clans?”

“Their situation is similar to the ning family ‘s. They should also be poisoned!” Hearing the master of the ning family’s question, the ninth elder of the Yao family didn’t doubt him and answered truthfully.

“Has the well water been seized?” The master of the ning family asked.

“Not yet!” The ninth elder of the Yao family said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. When he said this, he could clearly feel that the face of the ning family’s master had darkened again.

“Why didn’t you seal the well water immediately? Don’t tell me that you think that there aren’t enough people who have been poisoned?” The master of the ning family said angrily. Of course, he had to put on a full show.

“This … I’ve already sent someone to check the well water. If it’s confirmed that there’s a problem with the well water, we’ll immediately seal it up!” Elder Yao Jiu promised. In fact, he had asked the family head, and the family head had said that he would first observe the situation and have someone he trusted check it out.

When elder Yao Jiu heard this, he immediately understood. The family head didn’t believe that something would happen to the well water! But in front of the master of the ning family, he didn’t dare to say it so bluntly.

But how could the head of the ning family be so easily deceived? as soon as he heard it, he knew that this must be the intention of that old thing from the Yao family. That old thing liked to do useless things. To put it bluntly, he wouldn’t turn back until he hit the south wall! Now that the truth was out in the open, they still wanted to send people to investigate.

Hmph! Check it! I hope you don’t regret it! The ning family’s master secretly sighed to himself, and Zong Yun’s expression was also somewhat unsightly.

She clearly didn’t trust his judgment! Zong Yun was furious! At the same time, he secretly decided that in the future, if the Yao family came to him to refine pills again, he would ruthlessly slaughter them and make them suffer in silence!

Thinking up to this point, Zong Yun’s face was filled with worry as he spoke to the Yao family’s 9th elder: “Elder Yao Jiu, this old man has already confirmed that it’s snake venom, but I don’t know what kind of poisonous snake it is. So, please find the snake that poisoned you as soon as possible. This old man needs its poison, otherwise, I won’t be able to refine the antidote.”

After he finished speaking, Zong Yun bid farewell to the ning family’s master and left.

After Zong Yun left, the ning family’s master sighed and said to elder Yao Jiu in a very serious tone,””Ninth elder, I have talked a lot with His Excellency Zong Yun just now. We both agreed that the possibility of the poison being in the well water is the highest. After all, we gods can not eat food, but we can not not not drink water. What a pity … What a pity …”

Listening to the ning family Master’s words of pity, the ninth elder of the Yao family expressed his helplessness, but he could more or less understand his master’s thoughts. In fact, the master didn’t want this matter to spread. After all, the impact of sealing the well was too great, and it would cause panic in the Yao family, so they had to be careful.

Opening his mouth, elder Yao Jiu still hoped to explain, but the ning family head waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to say anything more. He even said that he understood! But he didn’t support it, and then he asked elder Yao Jiu to leave.

Elder Yao Jiu resentfully left the ning family’s guest house and returned to the meeting hall, where they were currently discussing this matter. Furthermore, the Yao family’s elders were arguing with each other until their faces were red and their hands were busy.

The Yao family’s elders were divided into two factions. One faction felt that there was a problem with the well water and that it should be sealed up immediately to prevent the situation from escalating. The other faction felt that the poisoning of the ning, Cheng, Yin, and Lu families might not necessarily be a problem with the Yao family’s water source.

The two sects stuck to their beliefs and felt that they were reasonable!

When the ninth elder of the Yao family arrived at the meeting hall and saw that these people were still arguing over the water source, he was instantly enraged!

“Are you guys done? Did I gather you here just to discuss whether there’s a problem with the water source?” The moment elder Yao Jiu displayed his might, all the elders present were dejected and kept quiet.

Although elder Yao Jiu was only ranked ninth among the Yao family’s elders, he was the most reliable and trusted elder of the family head. In the eyes of the family head, elder Yao Jiu’s position even surpassed that of the Yao family’s first elder. Thus, when elder Yao Jiu got angry, all the elders immediately became as obedient as little chicks.

“Ninth brother, calm down. We’re just concerned!” The Yao family’s first elder, who was sitting at the head of the table, said embarrassedly.

“Great elder, the water problem isn’t the most important thing right now. I’ve already sent people to investigate, and once the problem is found, the two wells will be immediately sealed up. I’ve gathered you here in the hope that you can discuss a solution to this matter. After all, the poisoning matter is of great importance, and it might even affect the meeting of the Eight Families. At that time, if the patriarch blames you, don’t you think you will be implicated?” Elder Yao Jiu sneered after hearing the first elder’s words.
