Guan Wei's eyes were filled with disbelief. "What do you mean? Are you telling me Lin Xiaotian has already cracked this poison, and now you're all ganging up to scheme against me?"
Master Liu did not answer.
But the meaning in his eyes was very clear. He was currently the only one who could help Young Master Guan.
"Young Master Guan, I've told you everything I needed to. I advise you to turn back while there's still time. You and Lin Xiaotian don't have that deep of a hatred; it's far from a life-or-death situation."
"Before things escalate to an extreme, turn back now!"
Guan Wei gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Master Liu. "Since this is your scheme, I'm leaving immediately. Remember this, from this day forward, our relationship is severed."
"I will not forget today's events. You actually colluded with Lin Xiaotian to plot against me. You are a truly exemplary traitor."
Hearing this, Master Liu already regretted speaking earlier. He shouldn't have said those words.
And he certainly shouldn't have implicitly confirmed it.
He had thought of their past connection, but Young Master Guan clearly didn't care about him at all.
He could only sigh inwardly and say no more.
Guan Wei knew that things had taken a turn. Without hesitation, he turned to leave. But as he reached the doorway, he saw Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian looked at him with a smile. "I didn't expect someone to have already solved the problem I left on you. It seems this fellow's skills are quite impressive, knowing how to remove your meridian blockade."
"Even if he's not a martial artist, he's at least a successor of ancient medicine."
"Moreover, he knows how to use Gu worms. This makes me more and more interested. Who is this person plotting against me?"
"Could it be someone with a past grudge against me, or perhaps someone afraid of my revenge?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood face-to-face with Guan Wei.
Guan Wei's face had already turned somewhat pale. He had developed a psychological shadow from Lin Xiaotian.
The events of a few months ago were still vivid in his mind. He had been in the intensive care unit for several months. His spirit had already collapsed back then. If not for the seed of hatred that had taken root and sprouted in his heart, he might have already succumbed and ended his own life.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with intense resentment, and even more so with gnashing anger.
The fury in his eyes seemed to materialize. "Lin Xiaotian, you'd better not do anything rash. Otherwise, no one but me can resolve this poison. If anything happens to me, more than just myself will die. At least this traitor will go to hell with me, and also your wife."
"Don't you care about your wife? When your wife goes to hell with me, how do you think I'll torment her?"
As his voice fell, Lin Xiaotian suddenly raised his hand with a smile.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two sharp slaps landed squarely on his face.
Guan Wei didn't even have time to react. He only felt a stinging pain on his face. When he came to his senses, he roared furiously, "Bastard, haven't you realized yet?"
"Only I can resolve that poison. If you want them dead, then go ahead and do it."
As his voice ended, Lin Xiaotian slapped him again.
"You're the one who hasn't realized, you idiot. Since I've started plotting against you, it means I've already thought of a way to resolve the poison."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Old Liu to show you his palm."
Master Liu cooperated and raised his palm. In his palm, there were no longer any black threads, only a slight wound remained.
Seeing this, Guan Wei's face showed disbelief.
His eyes were filled with immense shock.
"How is this possible?"
"No one can resolve this except that person."
"Lin Xiaotian, if you could resolve it, why play this charade? Wouldn't it have been simpler to have him find Zhang Laohu directly?"
Master Liu sighed and said no more. He had long suspected that Young Master Guan lacked intelligence.
Coupled with his vengeful heart, he had likely been manipulated.
At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to say another word. Dealing with someone like him was an insult to his intelligence.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and backhanded him again.
Guan Wei was slapped awake. His eyes were filled with fear. "Lin Xiaotian, you must be deliberately scaring me."
"No one can resolve that poison except him."
"I didn't intentionally plot against you; I was forced into it. If you don't believe me, look at my palm. I've also been poisoned, and this poison is spreading to other parts of my body. I can even feel the pain in my palm, and the worms wriggling inside."
"This fear has terrified me so much that I don't dare to resist."
"If you want trouble, go find them directly."
At this moment, he had caved.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "If I could find them, why would I bother luring you out?"
"If you had been honest and brought me to see them directly, perhaps I could have given you a quick end. Of course, letting you go is out of the question. Keeping a piece of trash like you is like keeping a venomous snake that might jump up and bite me again someday."
"Tell me, where are they?"
Guan Wei hesitated at this moment, unwilling to give up those people so easily. Lin Xiaotian had caused him so much harm, and now he stood before him with a smile.
He had been used as a pawn, but the crucial problem was that he, the pawn, was also poisoned and couldn't get rid of it.
Lin Xiaotian sneered, "It seems my memory of you has faded significantly."
"Then I'll help you regain your memory today."
Hearing this, the fear on Guan Wei's face intensified.
He couldn't help but step back a few paces, his voice trembling, "No!"
"Don't come near me. I know you're powerful, but you don't need to 'help me remember.' There are so many people watching outside. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you'll face dire consequences."
"I will definitely sue you!"
The contemptuous smile on Lin Xiaotian's face grew more pronounced. "Young Master Guan, at this point, you're still thinking of suing me? Shouldn't you be kneeling and begging for mercy right now?"
