"Brother Zhang! Hah! Alright, Brother Zhang, you are a true man, forgiving any lies from women. I admire you! I promise that as long as I find those two people, I will let her go. But I must tell you in advance, Brother Zhang! Yin Si already knows about your situation. I will definitely tell Big Brother the truth about you in the end! At that time, those who used such cruel methods to kill you, as well as their accomplices, will not escape punishment from Yin Si. Don't blame me for not being able to plead for her!" Xiao Yefeng said with emotion.
"It's fine, as long as she doesn't suffer, I will consider it a favor returned!" Zhang Chuanhai replied.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng looked at Zhang Chuanhai, who was already adorned with the Earthbound Spirit emblem and iron chains, and couldn't help but feel a deep respect. Zhang Chuanhai was a man of true character; even though the woman he loved had caused his own demise, he could still be so resolute because of the few tears she left behind. This was a real man. Xiao Yefeng was even more determined to help Brother Zhang take revenge; when the road is uneven, someone must smooth it out. This kind of injustice was precisely what the men of the Xiao Family should address.
Absorbing the scattered Qi in the air, Xiao Yefeng gradually awakened from his cultivation. Indeed, Mei Yulou and others were already having dinner. Jin Liu Yiyi had not come to the Mei Family; however, Mei Mo'er was the first to see Xiao Yefeng. She immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and bounced over, linking her arm with Xiao Yefeng's and pulling him toward the dining table. At this moment, Mei Yulou's eagle-like eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.
"What kind of behavior is this? A young lady should be proper; come here and sit down!" Mei Yulou frowned and scolded his granddaughter before moving a chair next to him and inviting Xiao Yefeng to sit.
Mei Yulou's behavior puzzled everyone at the Mei Family table. However, after exchanging glances with his wife, Mei Baizhu quickly pulled his daughter over. Xiao Yefeng smiled and took his seat. Although he didn't understand why Mei Yulou had hoped he would become his grandson-in-law yesterday but seemed to abandon that idea today, it was still a good thing that Mei Mo'er was opening up to him. Therefore, Xiao Yefeng paid no mind to it.
"Mr. Xiao, have you recovered so soon? You scared us this morning!" Mei Baizhu spoke first.
"Oh! It's nothing; just some mental exhaustion. A bit of rest will do!" Xiao Yefeng replied with a smile.
However, after their conversation began, Xiao Yefeng noticed a scent on Mei Baizhu that hadn't been there yesterday—a faint sweetness reminiscent of delicious cake. How could someone who had spent half their life in a pharmacy have such a sweet aroma? This puzzled Xiao Yefeng, but he soon set aside the thought.
The dishes served were a perfect balance of health and nutrition; indeed, a family of traditional Chinese medicine was extraordinary. Among the eight dishes, each contained some herbal ingredients, indicating that these meals were meticulously calculated.
After dinner, Xiao Yefeng engaged in conversation with the Mei Family again. This time, Mei Chuanqiong spoke little; through the glow of Dracula's Tooth, Xiao Yefeng could see he was focused on merging his internal bloodline. After all, only by successfully merging could Dracula's Tooth and Dracula's Blood not be easily taken away.
However, right after dinner, after drinking the herbal tea prepared by Mei Baizhu, she suddenly turned pale and collapsed to the ground. In this critical moment, Xiao Yefeng quickly drew out the Seven Star Needle from his inner pocket and immediately performed acupuncture to preserve a breath of true energy. This true energy was not what one would call internal breath in cultivation but rather a vital essence; as long as this essence remained intact for now, there was still hope for her!
Although Xiao Yefeng excelled in emergency treatment, he lacked experience in actual life-saving techniques. With his first aid efforts underway, Mei Yulou reacted quickly and retrieved his plum blossom needles to stimulate Mei Baizhu's taste buds using an antidote technique!
As expected from Divine Needle Seven Techniques—Xiao Yefeng remained captivated by the formation—but this wasn't the time for exploration. Under the combined efforts of Mei Yulou and Xiao Yefeng, fourteen Silver Needles were drawn simultaneously. Suddenly, Mei Baizhu sprang up violently with wide-open eyes before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with tea water that sprayed far away upon hitting the ground, releasing a foul odor into the air.
Xiao Yefeng reached out to touch some of the blood that had sprayed from Mei Baizhu; he noticed that its color was dark and thickened without dispersing. The blood had an unusual viscosity; after sniffing it carefully, he could confirm it was a rare poison—at least he couldn't identify all types of toxins present.
At this moment, chaos erupted in the room; Su Yun and Mei Mo'er were both in tears while Mei Chuanqiong used his massage techniques to stimulate his brother's meridians while also helping their father care for her.
Watching the blood spewing from Mei Baizhu, Mei Yulou carefully observed before saying, "Alright, the boss is fine now. The poisonous blood has been expelled; he just needs to rest for a while. Su Yun! Who did you all meet today? Where did you eat, and what did you have?"
As a skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, Mei Yulou began to investigate the situation after confirming that his son was not in serious trouble.
At this moment, Su Yun struggled to stop his sobbing. After calming his breath, he replied, "We didn't do much today. We ate in a safe place, and aside from discussing business with a few clients as agreed, there was nothing else."
Hearing Su Yun's words, Mei Yulou frowned as he looked at his weak eldest son. However, when he glanced over, he noticed Xiao Yefeng staring thoughtfully at the poisonous blood.
"Feng, what do you think?" Mei Yulou asked.
"Oh!" Xiao Yefeng was taken aback when called by Mei Yulou. Then he said, "Old man, I find this poison quite strange! Honestly, it gives me a sense of déjà vu!"
"You know something?" Mei Yulou exclaimed in surprise.
At that moment, Mei Mo'er rushed over and grabbed Xiao Yefeng's wrist, shaking it vigorously while crying, "Brother Xiao, please save my dad!"
Looking at the tearful Mei Mo'er, who resembled a rain-soaked pear blossom, Xiao Yefeng reassured her, "Don't worry. Didn't your grandfather just stabilize your brother's pulse? Your dad will be fine; he just needs to rest for a while!" At this point, Xiao Yefeng exchanged glances with Mei Yulou. Seeing that everything was alright, Mei Yulou managed to calm the weeping mother and daughter.
With the two women calmed down, only Xiao Yefeng, Mei Yulou, and Mei Chuanqiong remained in the room. After taking a deep breath, Mei Yulou said, "Feng, I believe you've noticed the problem too!"
"Yes! Old man, Uncle Mei's poison is quite formidable! Even with our combined efforts to administer acupuncture, we could only expel the secondary poison; the primary poison still lingers within your brother. It seems the Mei Family has offended someone powerful!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Dad, what are you and Mr. Xiao talking about? Does that mean my brother's poison hasn't been resolved?" At this moment, Mei Chuanqiong finally understood that her elder brother's poison had not been dealt with.
"Indeed! I've dedicated my life to studying medicine and finally hit a wall today! If Feng hadn't stabilized your brother's pulse earlier, my treatment would have been too late!" Mei Yulou sighed deeply as if he had aged significantly in an instant.
"Then what kind of poison is my brother suffering from? I'll go find an antidote!" Mei Chuanqiong said excitedly.
"Uncle Mei, please remain calm! This poison is clearly aimed at the Mei Family. The person who poisoned him knows very well that both you and your brother are skilled in medicine. By using this poison, they are clearly provoking us. They must be well-prepared and are not afraid of the Mei Family's medical skills. Now think about who you've offended recently! This person didn't use a lethal poison; they clearly want to leverage this situation against you. I suspect they will contact you soon," Xiao Yefeng explained.
At this time, Mei Yulou kept flipping through his collection of medical texts; however, it was evidently futile. With his memory capacity, he already knew the contents of these books by heart. If there were any solutions available, they would not be found among these texts. Yet now, searching through books was his only option.
Meanwhile, Mei Chuanqiong said regretfully, "Ah! It's all my fault. There was someone I needed to meet today; however, my brother told me to focus on understanding Dracula's Blood and asked me to send someone else to meet them!"
At that moment, Mei Chuanqiong's muttering caught the attention of Xiao Yefeng and Mei Yulou. Mei Yulou asked, "Quick, who are you going to meet?"
"It's Zhu Feng from the Zhu Family. They haven't paid their protection fees for a year now. Zhu Feng wants to discuss whether he can give me more money while having my people take over their security work. I'm not good at negotiating contracts; I originally planned to bring my brother along, but since he can handle it, I decided not to go!" Mei Chuanqiong replied.
"The Zhu Family?" both Mei Yulou and Xiao Yefeng exclaimed simultaneously.
"Could it be!" Xiao Yefeng suddenly said.
"No, no, it can't be! Uncle Mei shouldn't be that kind of person!" Xiao Yefeng shook his head.
"What do you mean?" both Mei Family Father and Son asked in unison.
"Feng, do you know something? Just look at it calmly!" Mei Yulou noticed that Xiao Yefeng seemed hesitant and spoke up.
Seeing the Mei Family Father and Son so agitated, Xiao Yefeng decided to be straightforward. He shrugged and said, "I suspect this is a curse from the Onmyoji of Wa Country!"
After exchanging glances, Mei Yulou responded, "That can't be right! Aren't Onmyoji just a bunch of ghost tamers? Curses are the specialty of Sorcerers, right?"
"The old man is fine, but you have to understand that whether it's the Onmyoji of Wa Country or Sorcerers from Fist Nation, they are all branches of Geomancers from Huaxia. In ancient times, they learned some Geomancer powers from Huaxia but modified them themselves due to lack of expertise, leading each to excel in their own area. Onmyoji are good at taming ghosts, but that doesn't mean they don't understand curses!" Xiao Yefeng explained.
