Xu Xiaoxiao pointed with her chopsticks and said,""I personally fished this fish when you were talking just now. I specially made fennel powder. How about you try it?”
Xu Yu's face darkened." You only know how to use these crooked tricks all day long. You don't concentrate on practicing martial arts." At such a young age, he didn't know the dangers of Jianghu. Alright, let's try your fish first." As he spoke, he picked up a mouthful and put it in his mouth. He smiled and nodded. He picked up a few more mouthfuls and nodded continuously. His meaning was self-evident.
Xiang Tiange also picked up her chopsticks and pulled, tearing off a large piece of fish meat. As soon as he put the fish into his mouth, he revealed a stunned expression. Xu Yu and his son thought that the customer was dissatisfied with the dish, but when they saw Xiang Tiange staring at the plate in surprise, they felt that something was wrong. Following his gaze, the two of them found a golden ring in the fish's belly!
The three of them slowly put down their chopsticks and looked at each other. Li Yu stared at Xu Xiaoxiao. Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. Obviously, he didn't know.
Xu Yu picked up her chopsticks and gently picked up the gold ring, examining it for a while. "It's him!" he suddenly exclaimed. The chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.
"Who is it?" Xiang Tiange and Xu Xiaoxiao asked in unison.
Xu You composed herself, but she could not hide the panic in her heart. The corner of her mouth was still twitching. "Are you feeling unwell in your stomachs?”
Xiang and Xu shook their heads in confusion, but Xu Yu pointed at the chopsticks that he had used to pick up the ring just now. When he looked carefully, the chopsticks had already turned black, clearly caused by poison.
Xu Yu said,"If it wasn't for this kid using fennel to roast the smoked fish, I'm afraid the three of us would have lost our lives."”Seeing that the two of them were still extremely surprised, he continued,"This ring contains the highly toxic red scorpion powder that is well-known in the pugilistic world. It has already seeped into the ring, so even if it was soaked in the fish's stomach, there would still be a lot of poison left. The fragrance of the fennel powder had an detoxifying effect, which allowed the toxins that had seeped into the fish meat to be dispersed. That's why we didn't die from poisoning because of this fennel powder.”
Xu Xiaoxiao scratched her head and asked in confusion,""Why would the poison ring be in the fish's stomach? Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting us?”
Xu Yu shook his head and said,"It's unreasonable!"”
"How is it unreasonable?" Li Tiange was a little impatient.
Xu Yu was not in a hurry and said unhurriedly,"There are only two such golden soul rings in the world.”
This time, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't ask any questions. She just listened quietly.
"This one belongs to Leng Ruiwu, the leader of the Taiji Sect."”
"Then the other one…" Xu Xiaoxiao asked.
Xu Yu didn't answer and only extended his left hand. He was wearing a golden ring on his ring finger. This ring was extremely unique. There was an extremely small hole in the middle, and there seemed to be another layer at the bottom of the hole. This ring looked exactly the same as the poison ring in the fish's belly.
Xu Yu did not wait for others to ask questions and said,"This poison ring belongs to my senior brother, Leng Ruiwu, the head of the Taiji Sect. Before Master passed away, he gave us two Golden Light Full Soul Rings and said that they had miraculous effects. However, I am too stupid to discover the power of these rings.”
"In that case, Leng Ruiwu might have poisoned the ring that day and harmed you, godfather?”Li Tiange said.
" Hahaha," Xu Yu suddenly laughed."Senior Brother Leng has always been upright and upright. I have always treated Senior Brother with all my heart. How could he harm me? Firstly, after thinking about it, I have no conflict of interest with Shixiong, so why would he harm me? That's the second reason."
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted,"He may have grown ambitious and colluded with Yue Piaohui." Father, you are the Four Heroes of the Vast Sea, and you openly went against Sima Qi. It is not unreasonable for him to harm you.”
"I'm not done yet!" Xu Yu immediately interrupted him." Even if he wanted to harm me, his kung fu is much stronger than mine. He could have just taken my head or used a hidden weapon. Why did he have to go through so much trouble? Why did he come all the way here with such a precious gold ring and such a bizarre technique to stuff the gold ring into the fish's belly? Was he so sure that you would catch this fish? Do you think it's possible? This is the third."
Xu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
"Please continue, Senior," Xiang Tiange said softly.”
Xu Yu nodded and continued,"Since the poison on the ring wasn't fed by Senior Brother, then it's even stranger." How could someone steal Shixiong's ring and poison it? Moreover, even if this person wanted to poison me, why did he have to poison this golden ring?”
Xu Yu's analysis was logical, but he could not come to a conclusion. He sighed and looked out the window.
Xiang Tiange also looked out of the window. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night sky was like a pitch-black curtain. She didn't know it was already dark.
Xu Yu lowered his head and said firmly,""Mr. Xiang, it's best if you leave early tomorrow morning. We can't stay here for long." Then, without saying a word, he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Xiang Tiange and Xu Xiaoxiao stood blankly in the room, repeating his last sentence. After a while, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and nodded at the same time.
