Things in the art of magic are not something that only two people can know about in secret. Because magicians have thousands of ways to pass on the content of the conversation and even the situation intact. Besides, three people came from Sun Xiaomei's side.
Sun Xiaomei was obviously using words to bully me, trying to take the opportunity to put me at a disadvantage.
Lu Xiaoying took over the conversation before I could even open my mouth: "So what if we're not warlocks?"
Sun Xiaomei sneered and said, "Since you are not sorcerers, don't blame me for not following the rules."
Lu Xiaoying looked at the other party with a smile: "Can you tell me who among us is the warlock?"
"Since you want to cut off yourselves from the art of war, then I..." Sun Xiaomei stopped talking halfway. If we count carefully, among all of us, only Monk Shi is a warlock.
Lu Xiaoying said coldly, "Speak up! Why don't you speak? I belong to the National Security Bureau, so I am a bureaucrat. Ye Jin is the owner of three restaurants, so he is a businessman. Wu Zhao is just a gentleman from the Northeast, can he be considered a genuine sorcerer? Monk Shi is a sorcerer, but he has been poisoned and is unconscious. You don't want to include him, do you?"
"You..." When Sun Xiaomei was choked and speechless, Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "Originally, our previous dispute was just a dispute between the underworld, and we didn't intend to use any other means. But, you called the police and said that we were engaged in prostitution, what's the matter?"
Sun Xiaomei looked at Li Jingwen with cold eyes, and the latter stammered, "Master's wife, it wasn't me... It wasn't me!"
Sun Xiaomei said in a deep voice: "I'll ask you one last time, were you the one who called the police?"
Xie Jingwen whispered, "I just asked Chen Lei to find a way to hold Wu Zhao back. I didn't expect him to do such a thing."
Sun Xiaomei said coldly, "Xiao Yang, tell Chen Lei to commit suicide! In consideration of his contributions to the Xuan Jing Division, you can leave his body intact. Xie Jingwen, stretch out your hand."
"Master's Wife, I..." Xie Jingwen was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, but he still stretched out his hand tremblingly. But Sun Xiaomei only said three words: "Don't shout!"
"Fifth Master's Wife..." Before Xie Jingwen could say anything, a dagger appeared in Sun Xiaomei's hand.
The moment Sun Xiaomei drew her weapon, she raised her hand and cut off one of Jie Jingwen's fingers with a knife. Jie Jingwen squatted on the ground, covering the wound with his hands. Although he was sweating from the pain, he dared not cry out.
When Xie Jingwen looked at me with red eyes, the hatred in his eyes almost solidified. He didn't dare to hate Sun Xiaomei, so he could only hate me.
Sun Xiaomei flicked her bloody finger with a dagger and said, "It is my fault for not disciplining you properly that I have brought shame upon my husband. This finger is my apology to you all."
Ye Jin sneered and said, "You also said that it was your fault for not disciplining him properly. Why didn't I see you show any reaction?"
Sun Xiaomei suddenly raised the knife and stabbed it into her arm.
The several-inch-long dagger pierced through Sun Xiaomei's delicate hand with a scraping sound, and then pierced through the table under her hand, leaving only the handle exposed. Sun Xiaomei, who was sweating from the pain, said as calmly as possible: "Now, how do you feel?"
I raised my hand and gave a thumbs up: "Madam Sun is indeed a heroine. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about."
Sun Xiaomei then pulled out the dagger, took a roll of bandage from Xiao Yang, and bandaged her wound while saying, "We are all in a hurry. So there is no need to waste time. My conditions are very simple. Stop the attack on Sun's business immediately, compensate for our losses, and apologize to Sun publicly. I can give you a part of the employer I have on hand."
I smiled at Sun Xiaomei and said, "Madam Sun, I have to say that it is rare to find a woman in her forties who is still as innocent as a little girl."
Sun Xiaomei smiled instead of getting angry and said, "It's not that I'm naive, but that you're too childish because you can't let go of the word 'loyalty'. If you want to remove the poison from Shi Bucong's body, you need someone to lead the way and let you restore the scene at that time. And I just happen to hold your lifeline."
Sun Xiaomei said: "If you are willing to watch Shi Bucong die in front of you, you can definitely gain the upper hand. But can you do it?"
My face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
Sun Xiaomei smiled and said, "Although Lu Xiaoying's status and Ye Yanluo's financial resources are invincible in some places, it won't work in Miaojiang. The Miaojiang witch doesn't care about officials and business tycoons. If you can't find them, Shi Bucong will die."
I have to admit that Sun Xiaomei is telling the truth. Miao shamans never leave Xiangxi, but Xiangxi is also their forbidden area. No matter how powerful the magic forces are, they dare not easily enter Xiangxi to provoke the Miao shamans. Sun Xiaomei is such an example.
Besides, the Great Witches of Miaojiang are not like the Great Immortals of the Northeast, whose location can be found through acquaintances. The Great Witches act mysteriously, and if they don't want to show up, even if you turn the whole Xiangxi upside down, you can't find the whereabouts of the Great Witches.
This is why we have always wanted to follow Jiang Yan’s travel route to find the wizard.
Sun Xiaomei smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't want to make it this far. Because, in my eyes, you are just a low-ranking sorcerer. Using such means will inevitably give people a reason to criticize you. For the sake of my brother's reputation, I played a little game with you. However, if you can contact Ye Yanluo, that's another matter."
Lu Xiaoying said coldly: "Madam Sun, aren't you afraid of losing Sun Yifan's face by doing this?"
Sun Xiaomei shook her head and said, "I mutilated my own hand and cut off one of Jingwen's fingers to express my apology for Jingwen's violation of the rules of the art. Now that I have apologized, what have I done wrong in terms of the means?"
Sun Xiaomei was indeed very thorough in her work. She was aggressive at first, and then she began to punish Jie Jingwen and hurt herself, not for me to see, but for Sun Yifan to see.
I am sure that everything that happened after Sun Xiaomei came in has been continuously transmitted to the outside world. The person who transmitted the news to the outside world should be Xiao Yang who has not moved.
Sun Xiaomei was trying to gain Sun Yifan's sympathy while also asking for his support.
Sun Yifan is indeed her heaven.
Sun Xiaomei was forced to the point of self-harm by me, so Sun Yifan must be heartbroken, and he will also allow Sun Xiaomei to continue to cause trouble for us, even if Sun Xiaomei's methods are not fair.
Sun Xiaomei looked at me and said, "Wu Zhao, I can give you some time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry because I still have eight people available; but you only have Shi Bushong. Think about it carefully!"
One characteristic of Gu poison is that it can attack continuously.
If the wizard who casts the poison wants the target to watch his relatives and friends die one after another, then the poison in the target's body will definitely take effect eventually, or even never, causing the target to live in regret and pain for the rest of his life.
One of Jiang Yan and the others must be the main target, so no matter what, the poison in Shi Heshang will take effect first. They have eight people to consume, but we can't afford to gamble on this probability.
My face suddenly became extremely gloomy. Xie Jingwen, who had lost a finger, seemed to have forgotten what pain was. He stood up with a grin and a gasp, waiting for me to apologize.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard someone sitting up from the wooden bed behind me—there was only Monk Shi.
After Shi Heshang was poisoned, he was sometimes conscious and sometimes had a high fever. I didn't dare to leave him alone anywhere else, so I could only watch over him at all times. He was still having a high fever just now, why is he sitting up now
When I turned around, I saw Monk Shi stuffing something into his mouth. Before I could figure out what was going on, Monk Shi sneered, "Sun, you want to play, I'll play with you. I just took Ziwu Duanchang Powder. If I don't have an antidote before tomorrow morning, I'll die. I'm the only one who knows how to detoxify."
I was immediately frightened by Shi Heshang: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Monk Shi ignored my exclamation and looked at Sun Xiaomei coldly and said, "My brothers are willing to die for me, so I can die for them too..."
I stood up immediately, grabbed the monk's backpack and said, "Don't talk nonsense, take the antidote quickly!"
Monk Shi said calmly: "Old Wu, you don't have to look for it. What if you can find the antidote? I want to die, and no one can stop me."
Monk Shi looked at Ye Jin and said, "Old Ye, remember, once I die, I will let Yan Luo take revenge on Sun Yifan with all his might. If the Sun family dies with me, I will have gained enough."
Ye Jin said with red eyes: "Monk, don't worry, if anything happens to you, I will do my best to pull all the Sun family members down!"
Monk Shi looked at Sun Xiaomei and said, "Mr. Sun, what else do you have to threaten us with now?"
Sun Xiaomei said calmly, "I think you should apply to the Film and Television Academy. You all have good acting skills. If you were not an experienced person, I would have been fooled by you."
Monk Shi sneered and said, "Since you think I'm lying to you, then leave it to you! Anyway, there will be the Sun family to accompany us down there, so there's nothing wrong with that."
After Monk Shi finished speaking, he lay back on the bed.
Sun Xiaomei was silent for a few minutes before she spoke: "Since you have thrown out your chips, you have to let me know whether it is true or not, right?"
Without waiting for us to speak, Shi Heshang raised his arm slightly, signaling the other party to come over and verify it. Sun Xiaomei winked at Xiao Yang, who quickly walked to Shi Heshang and put his hand on his pulse.
After just a few seconds, Xiao Yang retreated: "He was indeed poisoned. Although I haven't found out what kind of poison it is, once the toxin collides with the poisonous insect in his body, the onset time may be greatly advanced, or even immediate. Fifth Madam, you should make a decision early!"
Sun Xiaomei's face suddenly turned pale. (To be continued)
