Chapter 158. The Poisoner

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian kept seeing more and more familiar faces, Yue Qiqi and General Yue, Luo Yuyan and Prime Minister Luo, even Mu Chaoyang showed up too.

Luo Qianqian was surprised that Prime Minister Luo was willing to bring Luo Yuyan along, Luo Yuyan must have tried hard for this opportunity.

“Yuyan, was Qianqian really not home? I would really like to bring her along as well.” Prime Minister Luo asked Luo Yuyan with a big frown on his face.

Luo Yuyan forced a smile despite the jealousy simmering inside her, “Father, Qianqian is busy, no one knows where she is. She doesn’t have time to see this auction.”

Luo Yuyan felt so threatened, Prime Minister Luo had never thought about taking Luo Qianqian anywhere, but now he wished to bring Luo Qianqian to such a grand occasion.

“Fine, just follow me. Don’t get lost.” Prime Minister Luo said resentful, how he wished he could bring Luo Qianqian along to show off.

With that Prime Minister Luo and Luo Yuyan found their seats and what they didn’t know was Luo Qianqian was already here in the best private room.

All seats were pretty mush occupied soon, Luo Qianqian got a bit anxious, she hoped they were here for curios instead of the herbal medicines.

Five rare herbal medicines! Luo Qianqian was determined she would go to any length to get those herbal medicines, she would rob anyone who outbid her.

Murong Yun suffered more and more pain every time he suffered Frigid Poison attack, no one needed those herbal medicine more than Murong Yun. She didn’t care what other people would see her, she swore she would get all of the medicine at all cost.

“Who is that?” Luo Qianqian had smelled some unpleasant odor as someone appeared from afar.

It was a man who was clad in a black robe, he hid himself under a mas as well, no one could see his face or tell his age.

“Murong Yun, look over there!” Luo Qianqian got anxious as she saw that man, somehow she felt this man’s appearance at this moment was an omen of disaster.

‘Is he… is he also here for the herbal medicines?’

Murong Yun cast a glance at the man and said, “Go find out.”

Feng Qing cupped on hand in the other and withdrew the room.

“Why are you getting so nervous, sister-in-law? No one is my Brother Ninth’s match when it comes to martial arts!” said Su Liancheng, he didn’t understand why Luo Qianqian would make a fuss over a stranger.

“I just have this hunch, this man means danger.” Luo Qianqian’s brows furrowed.

Su Liancheng shook his head, “Don’t you worry about a thing, my Brother Ninth is here with you, no one can cause any trouble.”

“I hope so… …”

Luo Qianqian hoped she was over thining about that mysterious man.

Feng Qing came back about half an hour later, “Master, that is The Poisoner.”

“The Poisoner? Who is that?” this was the first time that Luo Qianqian had heard about this person.

Guang Yao raised his head abruptly, he wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.

“The Poisoner, the name fits him quite well, he is notorious for poison use, but his signature move is a legendary venomous insect instead of poison using.” replied Feng Qing.

“A legendary venomous insect?” Luo Qianqian muttered in shock, she only heard it from TV series.

“The Poisoner raised a legendary venomous insect within his body, the insect can summon other poisonous insects and I even heard that his insect is able to search people. But the Poisoner seldom pull that trick, it will drain his energy.” Lin Zimo added.

“Be able to search people? How?” Luo Qianqian found that mind-blowing.

“Have you heard of the Xiaos?” Lin Zimo was always as gentle as the spring breeze.

“I know a thing or two about them and how uniquely gifted they are.” Luo Qianqian heard about the Three Big Clans when Murong Yun took her back to the Gu Village.

“His legendary venomous insect is able to find out the Xiaos. People in the Jianghu Underground tries to get acquainted with him in spite of the fact that he and his insect are evil, people would kill for the opportunity to find out where the Xiaos are.”

Luo Qianqian nodded in silence.

Guang Yao held his breath while he was listening to Lin Zimo, you could hardly feel his breath the whole time.

“Guang Yao, are you afraid?” Lin Zimo asked with concern.

And that had caught Luo Qianqian’s attention, she looked at Guang Yao anxiously.

All of a sudden Murong Yun wrapped his arms around Luo Qianqian’s lower back, Luo Qianqian could fee a warm flow of Internal Chi being instilled by Murong Yun, “What are you doing?”

“Nothing, I just want to have your attention.” Murong Yun pinched Luo Qianqian’s cheek, he deliberately avoided mentioning about the Internal Chi he had instilled into Luo Qianqian.

Su Liancheng approached Guang Yao and tapped him on the shoulder, “Guang Yao, what do you have in mind? You look like you are in a trance.”

Strangely enough, Guang Yao felt the same warmth inside his body as Su Liancheng tapped him on the shoulder. The Chi stabled his breaths and his mind.

“Nothing.” replied Guang Yao shyly.

Su Liancheng sat next to Guang Yao and teased him, “Look at you now, being all shy and timid. Who has just shattered a table?”

“Su Liancheng, Guang Yao is just a boy, don’t tease him like this.”

“All right, sister-in-law!” Su Liancheng averted his gaze knowingly.

What Su Liancheng had done didn’t escape Lin Zimo’s eyes. Su Liancheng helped Guang Yao to stabilize his Chi subtly after The Poisoner showed up, and Murong Yun did the same thing to Luo Qianqian.

‘Is that a coincidence?’ Lin Zimo wondered, ‘Who is Guang Yao?’

The Poisoner’s appearance was nerve-racking for Luo Qianqian, “Chances are he is here for the rare herbal medicines as well? What if he overbids me? Should I collect my money from Liang Fengqi now?”

Imagine how the Liangs would feel when they found out Luo Qianqian was here as well, three hundred thousand taels of silver was no small amount even for a big clan like them.

Murong Yun pulled Luo Qianqian on her sleeve, “Don’t you trust me and Liancheng?”

“Of course I do! But why not collect our money just in case?”

Su Liancheng cleared his throat, “Sister-in-law, I’ve got nothing but money. Plus, my Brother Ninth is here too. The betrothal presents in carriages my Brother Ninth has sent you is just a fraction of his wealth, he is loaded!”
