Was there a plot against Su Menghan?
Zhou Bai was an ordinary martial artist who later joined the Xunxian Sect and became a subordinate of Ye Hao. He had witnessed Ye Hao's strength; although Ye Hao's cultivation level was not high, he possessed a mysterious energy. It was said that this energy was the spiritual power that only immortals could wield!
Given that Ye Hao was the young master of the Xunxian Sect, Zhou Bai was extremely loyal to him, hoping that if Ye Hao achieved immortality, he would rise alongside him.
However, this time, Zhou Bai hesitated over Ye Hao's orders. Targeting Su Menghan?
First of all, Su Menghan was the younger sister of Ye Hao's fiancée. Why would they go after her? Had she offended them in any way?
Secondly, Su Menghan was with Chen Anlin, who was not someone to be trifled with. Although the Xunxian Sect was mysterious and, as far as he knew, a hidden sect with overall strength not particularly formidable, they focused on quality over quantity. Their numbers were few, with many members secretly gathering items for achieving immortality and spiritual stones to support their young master.
Their sole goal was for their master to attain immortality; then they would be led into the realm of cultivation. At that time, they would have whatever they desired.
The true situation remained unclear to them; it was merely what Ye Hao had told them. So what if she was Chen Anlin's woman? With me around, what is there to fear? Ye Hao scoffed.
Since leaving Su Bingyu's room, Ye Hao had made it clear he wouldn't say much, but internally he had already regarded Chen Anlin as a dead man. He understood that dealing with Chen Anlin would not be easy, so he shifted his focus onto Su Menghan.
The poison he gave Zhou Bai was a type of neurotoxin that required regular antidote administration; otherwise, the pain would be unbearable. This poison was precious; he didn't want to waste it unless absolutely necessary.
This time, he truly couldn't hold back any longer. He had thought it through: once Su Menghan was poisoned, he would suddenly appear and offer to help her detoxify—under the condition that it be done privately. At that point, Chen Anlin, you think you can touch my woman? Well then, I will touch yours!
Zhou Bai clenched the poison powder in his hand, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.
"Don't worry, once it's done, I'll give you a Spirit Recovery Pill," he was urged.
The Spirit Recovery Pill was a type of spiritual elixir from the Xunxian Sect. It contained only a trace of spiritual energy, which could be absorbed and was indeed a great tonic for mortals.
At this, Zhou Bai's excitement surged, and he nodded vigorously. "Alright, I'll do it right away!" For the sake of the Spirit Recovery Pill, he was willing to take the risk.
Su Menghan was walking towards the courtyard when suddenly, a young man approached her head-on. This young man was Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai tried to steady his breathing. He had thought it through; as he passed by, he would activate his energy and scatter the poison powder. Just as he was about to make his move, he felt someone suddenly pat him on the shoulder from behind.
"Young Master Chen."
The newcomer was none other than Chen Anlin. He had just received a report from Bai Yu Xianzi about Ye Hao planning to deal with Su Menghan, so he rushed over immediately.
"What do you have in your hand? Let me take a look," Chen Anlin said expressionlessly, gripping Zhou Bai's shoulders tightly.
Zhou Bai's heart sank, and he quickly forced a smile. "Young Master Chen, I don't have anything in my hands."
"Oh? Is that so? Then show me," Chen Anlin insisted.
"I-I..."
"Hurry up!" Chen Anlin barked.
"What are you doing, bullying the weak?" Seeing Zhou Bai suddenly blocked by Chen Anlin, Ye Hao felt anxious and hurried over to defend Zhou Bai.
Slap!
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chunlan came up from behind and slapped Ye Hao across the face, angrily scolding him, "Ye Hao, what is your status to speak to Young Master Chen like that? Apologize to me—kneel down and apologize!"
"I..."
Ye Hao's eyes burned with fury as he shot Zhao Chunlan a cold glare.
"Yaya, what kind of look is that? Dare to glare at me? You must be tired of living!" Zhao Chunlan's finger was almost poking Ye Hao's face.
Ye Hao pointed at Chen Anlin and said, "Why blame me? It's him who is bullying others."
At that moment, the commotion attracted the attention of others, and many people gathered around.
Seeing the crowd growing, Ye Hao, thinking he held the moral high ground, shouted, "I am Ye Hao. Although my status is not as good as Chen Anlin's, I am definitely not someone who resorts to underhanded tactics or bullies others! Just now, Chen Anlin suddenly blocked this person, trying to use his power to intimidate."
Many people looked curiously at Chen Anlin, and someone bluntly asked, "Why bully him?"
"Isn't this brother Zhou Bai?" Someone recognized him.
"Zhou Bai, tell me, did Chen Anlin just try to bully you?" Ye Hao asked.
"Yes, I was just walking normally when Young Master Chen suddenly blocked me. I have no idea what he wanted," Zhou Bai said with a flicker in his eyes.
Chen Anlin sneered, "Oh really? Everyone thinks I'm bullying you? Then let me ask you, what's in your hand?"
As he spoke, he squeezed Zhou Bai's hand. In pain, Zhou Bai loosened his grip, and a small packet fell to the ground.
"You were trying to poison Su Menghan, weren't you?" Chen Anlin narrowed his eyes and asked.
"What? I didn't do anything! Don't slander me!" Zhou Bai hurriedly explained in a panic.
Ye Hao's gaze turned cold as he said, "Chen Anlin, are you still trying to bully others and falsely accuse them? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you won't get away with it."
Although Ye Hao said this confidently, he was actually quite anxious inside. He had no idea how Chen Anlin discovered that he had instructed Zhou Bai to poison Su Menghan. He absolutely could not let anyone find out; otherwise, he would never be able to become the Su family's son-in-law. Su Bingyu would surely be heartbroken if she left him.
"Still trying to argue? Fine then, pick up the poison," Chen Anlin ordered.
Zhou Bai stood frozen in fear, his face growing increasingly bitter as he reluctantly picked up the powder from the ground.
"Eat it!" Chen Anlin commanded.
