Chapter 83 This Lord Is From Yan Luo Hall!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Inside the Sui Yuan Club, after learning that Du Xiao Li was coming and seeing that she still haven’t arrived, Han Ming Yi who’d been waiting for her the whole time, sent someone to go check. After hearing that the horse carriage had traveled towards the outside of the city, he went to go find Du Yun Han to ask whether or not Du Xiao Li had said she was going outside the city today. After hearing Du Yun Han deny this, and Leng Er saying that Fu Ya Lan had said Du Xiao Li had left in order to come to Sui Yuan, he immediately sensed something wrong, ordering Leng Er and them to perform an all out search, while he mounted his own horse and sped towards the outskirts.

Du Yun Han also realized that something happened to Du Xiao Li, mounting his horse and chasing after.

On a small path in the outskirts, Du Xiao Li’s horse carriage was still speeding along.

“Miss, what should we do now?” Ying Ge silently asked.

Don’t know who the other party was sent by, or why they wanted to catch them, but just based on this person’s martial art skills, perhaps there will be even more people waiting for them at their destination.

Du Xiao Li had the embroidery needle held her her hand and gave Xia Yuan and Ying Ge a look. They immediately understood her intentions, and the two closed their eyes and collapsed. Ying Ge also had the incense burner on the cushion knocked down. It fell onto the ground, letting out a crisp sound. At the same time, Du Xiao Li also pretended to have fallen unconscious, as she leaned against the carriage.

The horse carriage stopped, follow which the horse carriage doors opened. A man peered in, seeing the unconscious four, and smugly smiled. Just as he was planning to continue traveling, he suddenly saw a sliver light flash by in the air. Afterwards, he felt his body get pricked, and immediately was unable to move.

Du Xiao Li and them woke up. The man looked to them in shock, crying out in disbelief, “You all didn’t lose consciousness?”

Ying Ge looked to the man and said, “Miss, this person is indeed Li Shi, but the voice is different!”

“Xia Yuan.” Du Xiao Li shouted.

“Yes, miss.” Xia Yuan went forward and felt around that person’s face. Afterwards, ripped down a human skin mask. Li Shi immediately turned into a twenty some year old handsome young man.

“Human skin mask! No wonder we didn’t notice anything wrong with him!” Ying Ge looked to the mask in Xia Yuan’s hands.

Du Xiao Li nodded, “Should have swapped places when we were still at big sister Ya Lan’s manor. The incense was also swapped at that time too right?”

Du Xiao Li although was talking to Ying Ge, but that last line was also directed towards the man.

“Who are you, who sent you here to catch us?” Xia Yuan looked to the man and asked.

The man’s face didn’t have any hint of panic, aside from the initial shock. Right now, he was actually looking to Du Xiao Li and them with a look of interest, not the least bit worried of his ending. Hearing Xia Yuan’s words, he didn’t reply, but rather lowered his eyes and glanced at the incense burner on the ground, “How did you all discover this sleep inducing fragrant?”

Du Xiao Li looked to the man, recalling how last time, Bai Ning Yuan, despite being pricked by her, was still able to freely move. She thus took out a scarlet red medicine pill, letting Xia Yuan feed it to the man.

After being forced to swallow the medicine, the man’s complexion changed and cried out in shock, “Seven bug seven flower (poison)!”

Hearing the man blurt out the medicine’s name, and seeing his abruptly changing expression, Du Xiao Li smiled and said, “So you’re also an expert in this field! Can you answer Xia Yuan’s question now?”

This seven bug seven flower poison was developed by Du Xiao Li on her own, made by choosing seven different bugs and seven different flowers. Although every medicine pill was the same color and tasted the same, but the poisonous bugs and flowers used were all different. If one is unable to distinguish out the correct poisonous bugs and flowers, even if one had the antidote to another seven bug seven flower poison, one would still die all the same!

Moreover, the time for this poison to act up was very slow, unlike other poisons, taking one’s life instantly, instead letting one watch one’s own body slowly rot, personally witnessing oneself walk towards death.

This seven bug seven flower poison was also just made for fun back then when Du Xiao Li had nothing to do and just went according to the instructions on the poison technique book Luo Qi gave her. Afterwards, she’d given some to Luo Qi, but unexpectedly from then on, it got spread out, and gained quite a reputation in the pugilistic world. However, this poison didn’t get mass produced, because its inventor won’t easily manufacture this poison, thus also becoming known as a mysterious poison user in the pugilistic world.

Once someone suspected that this was the poison king’s poison, but Bai Ning Yuan publicly announced that this wasn’t his poison, and moreover, this poison even he was unable to develop an antidote to. So, this inventor thus became even more mysterious.

At the time, only ten pills of seven bug seven flower poison were leaked out, but this man was able to guess it just based on the pill’s color and taste. It can be seen, he also wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Antidote.” The man’s attitude instantly changed. His nonchalant from earlier was gone, and his body emitted a dense killing intent.

Du Xiao Li looked to the killing intent on the man’s body and said, “Do you think by killing us, you’ll be able to obtain the antidote?”

“Even if I have to die, I’ll still drag you all together with me!” The man coldly said.

“Do you think you’ll have the chance to drag us to die with you?” Ying Ge retorted.

“Aren’t you all a little too confident in yourself? This place is only a few li* away from the place I’m heading. As long as I let out the signal, and once my comrades rush over, you all will still die with me!”

(T/N: 1 li is approximately 500 meters.)

Du Xiao Li pulled open the carriage curtains and looked around, discovering that they were already in a forest right now. Ahead was a range of mountains, should be Swallow Mountain. Looks like, this person intends to bring them to Swallow Mountain.

“What’s your name?” Du Xiao Li changed the subject and asked, “If you obediently answer my question, perhaps, I might even give you the antidote. I suppose, you’re also hired by someone right? There’s no need to lose your life in vain for your employer.”

“Others call me Yin third master.” Yin Yue Xuan said.

“Yin third master? Do you two know?” Du Xiao Li looked to Xia Yuan and asked.

“Seems to be the number three of Yan Luo Hall?” Xia Yuan was also uncertain as she looked to Ying Ge and asked.

“Seems to be.” Ying Ge said with a nod.

Yin Yue Xuan looked to the three of them. Yin third master’s good name they actually all didn’t know? In the pugilistic world, as long as one mentions Yin third master, who wouldn’t know? Others that want to serve him tea or bring him water would all still have to see whether he was willing or not! But these three actually didn’t know?

Could it be that they really were people of the government, so all this ignorant?

Even if they didn’t know his reputation, seeing this handsome face of his should still be able to let them know who he is, right?! But from start to finish, they all didn’t have the slightest reaction!

Du Xiao Li looked to Yin Yue Xuan’s hurt expression and said, “Alright, now that we know your identity, Yan Luo Hall’s number three, so your Yan Luo Hall is involved in this matter this time?”

“Can be considered yes.” Yin Yue Xuan replied.

“Then, who let you come catch me? And why do they want to catch me?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“Since I already ate your poison pill, can you let me move first?” Yin Yue Xuan, seeing Du Xiao Li’s nonchalant appearance, wanted to move but was unable to.

“Xia Yuan, you go.” Du Xiao Li said, “Three degrees below the chest, I left a little on the outside.”

Xia Yuan came to Yin Yue Xuan’s side and did according to Du Xiao Li’s words, having the embroidery needle inserted into Yin Yue Xuan’s body pulled out. After retrieving the needle, Yin Yue Xuan moved his arms and stretched his neck, but before he could enjoy himself enough, a sword propped up against his neck.

“What’s this for?” Yin Yue Xuan looked to Xia Yuan and asked.

“Just in case. Quickly answer my master’s question.” Xia Yuan said, not relaxing in the least.
