Chapter 2140: Chapter 2136: Wu Ying Poisoned
At least, Tang Ming thought, if he himself consumed those nourishing soups, he would certainly be able to quickly enhance his cultivation.
The dishes and soup were quickly prepared, and Li He wiped his hands on one side, then placed the dishes and soup into a food box.
"Armor, you handle two dishes, I’ll share a drink with you when I return. I’m going to deliver the dishes to the Young Master and Young Madam, I’ll be back soon."
Li He waved his hand, storing the food box into his storage ring. Tang Ming nodded, his gaze falling on the abundant ingredients in the room.
Qingfeng Can, along with his subordinates, almost turned Coastal City upside down, yet still could not find any trace of Tang Ming. He believed that Tang Ming had surely left Coastal City, otherwise, he had been hidden by the Wu Family.
But if he was really hidden by the Wu Family, then Wu Muchou wouldn’t come here to question Wu Ying.
"Wu Muchou, if I find Tang Ming, I’ll let you know. I, Qingfeng Can, say what I mean. If I say I haven’t found him, then I haven’t. That kid must be afraid of me and ran away. But if you see him, tell him. The person Qingfeng Can intends to kill can’t escape my grasp as long as he remains in Taoyuan World."
The coldness in Qingfeng Can’s eyes flashed for a moment.
Wu Muchou locked eyes with Qingfeng Can for a long time; "Qingfeng Can, I’m protecting Tang Ming for your own good. He was sent by Hu Mei’er to Huan Die Sect. Otherwise, my Master wouldn’t have stood on his side between you and him."
"Hu Mei’er, so what about Hu Mei’er, my woman and child are dead too, can she really kill me for a worthless person?"
When Wu Muchou mentioned Hu Mei’er, Qingfeng Can’s expression changed, but a ruthless glint still flashed in his eyes.
"Qingfeng Can, stop jumping to conclusions. Yingying was Tang Ming’s Daoist companion, and when she was with you, Tang Ming found out, causing a conflict, and eventually, Tang Ming killed Yingying. As for Yingying being pregnant, do you really believe that?"
Wu Muchou snorted coldly, while Qingfeng Can’s face grew increasingly unpleasant.
For Qingfeng Can, not having descendants was always a sore spot for him. Despite having many women and leaving affection everywhere, only Yingying had ever been pregnant.
But was this child truly his? Wu Muchou’s words pierced his heart like a crooked bone-scraping blade.
"Enough. I don’t care what you or that woman Yanli say is true, I’m determined to kill Tang Ming."
Qingfeng Can turned, returning to the room.
Wu Muchou’s gaze fell on Wu Ying, who awkwardly looked at Qingfeng Ziyun.
"Muchou, you better not meddle in this business. Qingfeng Can is stubborn as a mule, always going to the end of the line. As for Tang Ming, better leave him alone too. I’ve heard that Hu Mei’er is already struggling for her safety. Why did she disappear all these years? Isn’t it because someone was causing her trouble? So, even if Tang Ming is killed by Qingfeng Can, she wouldn’t blame Huan Die Sect."
Qingfeng Ziyun came to Wu Muchou’s side.
Wu Muchou pondered something, remaining silent.
Seeing Wu Muchou not speaking, Qingfeng Ziyun gave Wu Ying a glance.
Wu Ying coughed: "Indeed, Muchou, you should listen to your sister-in-law. Her brother from Jiulong Dynasty did mention these matters a few days ago. It’s turbulent over there, and Hu Mei’er can’t even take care of herself, let alone worry about a minor figure like Tang Ming."
"Got it, second brother, sister-in-law. Since Qingfeng Can really hasn’t captured Tang Ming, I’ll head back first. Tell Qingfeng Can to get his people out of Coastal City soon. If he doesn’t intend to give face to Wu Muchou, then he will find Wu Muchou is not someone easily bullied either."
Wu Muchou turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Wu Ying awkwardly looked at Qingfeng Ziyun beside him: "Ziyun, what should we do about this? If Muchou goes to grandma, Qingfeng Can won’t be able to stay in Coastal City."
"Qingfeng Can isn’t your wife, why bother with him? Come, let’s eat. Old Li’s dishes should be ready, let’s eat more tonight."
Qingfeng Ziyun’s face, rarely, showed a light smile; Qingfeng Can’s unhappiness was indeed quite pleasing to her.
"Sister, you seem quite happy. Just now, when Wu Muchou drove me away, why didn’t you speak up for me? If I became Regent King, it would be beneficial for you too."
Qingfeng Can saw Qingfeng Ziyun walk in and slapped the table, standing up.
"How dare you speak to me like this? All you care about is your own affairs, not considering me and your brother-in-law at all. Your brother-in-law is part of the Wu Family; this is Coastal City. That you could cause a commotion here all day long is already the Wu Family granting you face."
Qingfeng Ziyun glared regally.
A flash of murder flitted through Qingfeng Can’s eyes as numerous unpleasant childhood memories flowed back.
"Fine, fine, fine, tomorrow morning, I’ll take my men and leave."
Qingfeng Can nodded, sitting on a chair, sulking.
Qingfeng Ziyun returned to the dining table, as servants began preparing for dinner, while Wu Ying frowned slightly, not knowing what to do next.
"Hahaha, Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, Old Li is here."
Li He strolled in, his belly a rich protrusion.
Qingfeng Ziyun’s serious face broke into a broader smile: "Old Li, truly sorry to trouble you again. Tonight, any soup on the menu?"
"Rest assured, rest assured, Young Madam prefers those dishes, I added a few dishes upon hearing the Little Prince was visiting."
Li He jovially brought out the food box from his storage ring.
Sizzling food was placed on the dining table, and an enamored expression unfolded on Qingfeng Ziyun’s face as her gaze landed on Wu Ying; "Husband, make sure to eat plenty tonight."
Wu Ying shivered, though he still nodded with a smile: "Many thanks for your favor, Madam, I will enjoy plenty."
Qingfeng Can snorted disdainfully and picked up a spoon to sip the soup.
Li He’s cooking was exquisite in color, aroma, flavor, and carried the essence of Immortal Spirit Qi, rapidly causing the trio’s faces to grow rosy.
Qingfeng Ziyun’s jade-like neck blushed pink, while guards on one side seemed unable to resist but stood concentrating spirit, along the sidelines, drooling.
Thud.
A loud crash shattered the room’s previously indulgent atmosphere as Wu Ying fell from his chair next to the dining table.
"Second Young Master. What happened here?"
Madame Bai, face full of surprise, approached, as two guards stepped forward to help Wu Ying up.
Qingfeng Ziyun’s brow arched, while Qingfeng Can’s lips slightly curled upward: "I say, Qingfeng Ziyun, haven’t you spared even your own husband? This chap seems to have been poisoned, doesn’t he?"
