“Young Master, I’m coming!” Meng Bai trotted over in cooperation and stood beside Yunxiao with a timid look.

Yunxiao sneered, “8527, work hard in the Li Family. This guy is your predecessor.”

Meng Bai obediently shouted to Li Yi, “Senior!”

Li Yi was so dizzy with anger that he almost fell down, but Fang Zhen caught him in time. All the people present looked at the two with a smile, each with his own calculation. The Li Family was finally beginning to become chaotic.

Yunxiao said, “Little Eight, drop a few drops of blood on this pill.”

With his eyes growing wide, Meng Bai pretended to be afraid as he said, “Why do you want my blood? Can’t you use your own?”

Yunxiao slapped him on the head angrily and scolded, “You are a servant, and you must behave like a servant! You must do whatever your master asks you to do and ask no questions! Learn from your predecessor!”

Aggrieved, Meng Bai picked up a small meat knife from a nearby table and cut a little skin on his finger with a sad face, squeezing out a drop of blood as small as a green bean before dripping it on the pill. “Is that enough? There’s a lot of blood already.”

Yunxiao kicked him flying away. “Scram! You don’t look like a servant at all!” He glanced coldly at the pill and said leisurely, “This pill will produce fatal toxicity when it comes into contact with blood. Although there is only a small drop, it is enough to kill a Martial King.”

At the same time, he was deeply relieved. With Meng Bai’s blood on this pill, Li Yi’s charge of offering a poisonous pill could not be exonerated under any circumstances. The poison in Meng Bai’s body was the source of all poisons, and it was so potent that even his previous life, a ninth-tier alchemist, could not dissolve it and had to find ways to force it out of his body.

Soon, several court guards brought over a big wolfhound.

Yunxiao picked up the blood-stained pill and was about to feed it to the dog when Li Yi shouted suddenly, “Hold on!”

He gave Yunxiao an alert look and said coldly, “Keep your distance and let these guards feed the dog!”

Yunxiao made an indifferent gesture and put the pill on the table. Only then did Li Yi direct a guard to go forward and feed the pill to the wolfhound.

After taking the pill, the dog did not seem to have much reaction and still barked loudly, as if it wanted more. The guard who trained the dog bowed his head and listened for a while, then reported back to the crowd, “Your Majesty, he said it was delicious and he wants more.”

Qin Zheng’s expression changed as he glared at Yunxiao. Meanwhile, Ruxue turned pale and sank back in her chair with all the strength leaving her body. She was crying on the inside as she told herself that she must save Yunxiao’s life later no matter what the cost would be, even if she had to agree to marry Li Yi.

“Haha!”

Li Yi burst out laughing as he pointed to Yunxiao and said, “Little bast*rd, how dare you deceive the king! I’ll see how you die today! Ha! Haha!”

He laughed heartily, and the depression that had been suppressed in his heart all night seemed to be released at this moment. But after laughing for a while, he suddenly felt a little cold. The temperature in the banquet hall seemed to be dropping sharply, and traces of cold air were seeping into his skin.

Then, he found Yunxiao looking at him coldly and smilingly, as if he was looking at a clown and a dead man.

Li Yi flared up again. ‘How dare a piece of rubbish who is dying look at me like this! I must dig out his eyes later on!’ he thought to himself. But, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him exactly like Yunxiao.

A sense of death came over him, making his heart sink instantly. He looked back and saw that the wolfhound, who was barking just now, had turned black, green, yellow, red, and many other colors. In short, it had turned into a colorful dead dog, completely dead!

“Ah!” Li Yi let out a cry of terror while his legs went limp, causing him to fall to the ground. Pointing to the dog, he said in a trembling voice, “Where did you…Where did you get this colorful dead dog?”

A fierce murderous aura burst out of Qin Zheng’s body as he said, “What do you think?”

Li Yi yelled in despair, “How? How is that possible?” He pointed to Yunxiao and growled, “It’s you, it must be you! You must have hidden the healthy dog, it must be! Take out the healthy dog and take away this dead dog!”

Everyone in the banquet hall was silent, watching in astonishment as Li Yi rolled on the ground like a clown. The members of the Li Family, on the other hand, had their eyes lighting up and their faces filled with excitement and joy. By offering a poisonous pill, Li Yi’s death was inevitable. They did not think that the problem that had plagued their family for such a long time was solved so easily! Every one of the family looked at Yunxiao with awe.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Li Yunxiao must have hidden that healthy dog! You must punish him and execute his whole family!” Li Yi seemed to be out of his mind. It was not easy for him to get to where he was today, but it was all falling apart now, causing him to go a little insane and start talking nonsense.

Qin Zheng was fuming, too. He had spent a great effort cultivating a puppet to restrain the Li Family, but now this puppet had made such a serious mistake! If he did not kill the latter, how would he explain it to Xiao Qingwang? However, if he killed him, how would he restrain the Li Family?

In a fit of rage, he bellowed, “Somebody, drag Li Yi and this Fang Zhen away and put them in jail!”

Li Yi and Fang Zhen were dragged out in front of everyone. Both of them shouted that they were innocent, but no one paid them any heed. Anyhow, Qin Zheng’s attitude made everyone suspicious in their minds.

No matter who, even the princes and heirs of aristocrats, would be sentenced to death for trying to kill the commander-in-chief of the State Guardians, let alone Li Yi, a mere servant who had gained power for a short period! After committing such a crime, he should have been executed directly on the spot and not put in jail. It seemed that the king had other thoughts in his mind.

Xiao Qingwang’s eyes flashed with a hint of unhappy anger as he stood up and said, “Your Majesty, my old injury has kicked back again. I’ll take my leave now.” Without waiting for Qin Zheng’s approval, he went straight out.

Qin Zheng knew that Xiao Qingwang was dissatisfied with his handling and said hastily, “Commander Xiao, you have worked hard and are the pillar of the state. You must take good care of yourself. I’ll immediately send one hundred Nourishing Pills to your residence.”

“En,” Xiao Qingwang answered without even looking back. No more than five people in Tianshui dared to put on such airs in front of the king.

“Wait a moment, Commander Xiao!” Yunxiao suddenly cried out, “May I look at your internal injuries?”

Xiao Qingwang halted his steps, and Qin Zheng also said happily, “Yes, Yunxiao knows how to stimulate acupoints with gold needles! He had cured Ruxue’s Five Yins terminated meridians, and maybe can cure your internal injuries too!”

Ruxue was visibly moved. She looked at Qin Zheng at this moment and found that the kind and amiable father who doted on her was no longer there, leaving only the king of this state. Her eyes were full of sadness and disgust.

“In that case, Yunxiao, you can help me check it out.” Xiao Qingwang agreed. He did not have any hope either, and was merely making a last attempt.

Yunxiao stepped forward and laid his fingers gently on Xiao Qingwang’s wrist, pretending to begin diagnosing. At the same time, he secretly turned his divine sense into a fine stream, making it swim along Xiao Qingwang’s main meridian and probing all the way.

The whole banquet hall became unusually quiet as no one dared to disturb them. About fifteen minutes later, Yunxiao pulled back his hand and sighed softly.

Xiao Qingwang frowned and asked, “How is it, kiddo?”

Yunxiao’s eyebrows twitched as he said coldly, “Kiddo?”

Xiao Qingwang said indifferently, “Why? Even Li Chunyang is a kid in front of me, so what should I call you if not kiddo?”

For a moment, Yunxiao did not say a word, then nodded slightly before saying, “Do you feel like ants biting your humerus, ulna, and radius three times a day, but you can’t get rid of that feeling no matter how you scratch?”

Xiao Qingwang’s eyes lit up as he said hastily, “Exactly!”

“Do you feel like there is ice covering your Fengmen and Shendao acupoints at midday and midnight every day, giving you a chill all over?”

“Yes!”

“A year ago, did your Qi Sea often show signs of losing cultivation base at dawn and early morning? And now the signs also appear after midnight and late morning?”

“Yes!”

“When you are circulating your Qi, do you feel a numbness in your Pericardium meridian and Sanjiao meridian, as if electric currents are passing through them?”

“Yes!”

“Well, then I know your condition.”

“Kiddo, you are really good! You’ve mentioned every single one of my pains! Then you must also know the solution?” Xiao Qingwang said excitedly as his eyes shone brightly. “Wait, kiddo! Hey, where are you going?”

Yunxiao went straight out of the main banquet hall, then sat back in his seat and began to nibble on a leg of lamb. “I want to eat,” he mumbled. “How could a kid like me have a good solution? I was only asking randomly, and I didn’t expect you really have those symptoms. Don’t take it to heart, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Everyone almost fainted while Ruxue covered her mouth and chuckled. She finally showed a little happiness.

Xiao Qingwang also felt his head spinning. No one had ever dared to show such an attitude in front of him. “Kid…Hey, I call your grandfather old kiddo, and your father kiddo. If I don’t call you kiddo, then what should I call you? Little kiddo?”

Yunxiao took a sip of the wine and said seriously, “You can call me Young Master Yun.”

Puke!

Han Bai, who was sitting next to him, coughed out a mouthful of wine while his eyes were full of fear.

Young Master Yun…

Traces of cold sweat oozed from everyone’s foreheads. Was this boy out of his mind? How dare he let Xiao Qingwang call him Young Master! Was he tired of living?

Xiao Qingwang’s face grew dark as he said coldly, “Do you know who you are talking to, kiddo? No one has ever dared to call himself a young master in front of me.”

Pa!

Yunxiao placed his bronze wine bottle heavily on the table said coldly, “Whatever, no one is forcing you. If you feel it too troublesome to call me that, there is plenty of mutton on the table. You can use it to plug your mouth.”

Everyone present was shocked. No one had ever dared to offend Xiao Qingwang like this, not even the king. Qin Zheng also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Xiao Qingwang was startled for a moment, then he flew into a rage. He suddenly released his aura as he strode toward Yunxiao; with each step, the bluestone brick on the ground broke into pieces.

“Young Master Yun! Quickly admit your mistake to Commander Xiao! Don’t you want to live?” Han Bai gave Yunxiao a few quick pushes.

At this moment, Xiao Qingwang had already walked up to him, staring at him with a gaze that was as sharp as a knife, as if to see through the other’s heart. All the people around them felt the domineering aura and were unable to adapt to it. Hence, they quickly left their seats one after another.
