Tang Rao dared not hide anything from Wu Suowei. Wu Suowei had already heard Tang Rao mention the poisoning of Tu Lingfeng in the Kao Shan Sect. Tang Rao only needed to lightly touch on the topic, and Wu Suowei quickly understood what Tang Rao was puzzled about.

"You mean, the Eldest Son of the Yan Family is in the Kao Shan Sect, but you don't know where exactly, and your biggest worry is that if the attempt to poison and kill Tu Lingfeng fails, he might quickly poison someone close to you within the Kao Shan Sect? You're not sure who that close person might be yet?"

Wu Suowei was spot on. Tang Rao had no clue whom the Eldest Son of the Yan Family would target next. It could be one of Tang Rao's trusted aides, his wife, or even his child...

"Master, it's not good. The Madame, the Madame is ill!"

Just as Tang Rao was anxiously pondering who the next poisoning victim might be, someone came with the news that someone had been poisoned.

The timing of the poison was perfect, and Tang Rao's expression changed immediately. He quickly asked, "Who was poisoned this time?"

With the experience from last time, Tang Rao already knew what kind of poison it was and how to cure it. He just needed to find out who was poisoned.

"Wang Han, the Madame."

What?

Tang Rao had considered a few other women; even if the Eldest Son of the Yan Family chose someone, it shouldn't have been someone as challenging and smart as Wang Han. He never expected that the most unlikely person would be the first target of the Eldest Son of the Yan Family.

"Where is she?"

Tang Rao followed the messenger. Wang Han was in her courtyard when she was poisoned and fainted. Because there were people around, she had already been helped inside by Jin Qiao and Yin Qiao and was resting on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Master, it's good you're here. Our lady... our lady will surely be fine. You can save her, can't you?"

Jin Qiao, usually talkative and daring, seemed very cheerful. But when it came to Wang Han's situation, she was the most frightened. On the contrary, Yin Qiao, although also very scared, could still keep calm enough to take good care of Wang Han.

Tang Rao walked to the bedside and bent down to check Wang Han's symptoms.

Her condition was exactly like Tu Lingfeng's, except Tu Lingfeng's illness had worsened because it wasn't treated promptly. Fortunately, Wang Han's poisoning was discovered immediately, sparing her much of the suffering.

"Help your lady sit up."

Tang Rao instructed Jin Qiao and Yin Qiao.

The two girls helped Wang Han to sit up. Tang Rao didn't stop moving. He quickly took out a Jade Purifying Bottle from the Space Ring, removed an eighth-grade Detoxification Pill, and without hesitation, fed the pill to Wang Han.

"Such a strong scent, Tang Rao, tell me, is this another eighth-grade Detoxification Pill?"

Wu Suowei's nose must have issues, or maybe his eyes. How else could he see another eighth-grade Detoxification Pill and smell the unique aroma that only top-grade elixirs have?

"Besides an eighth-grade elixir, who else could take out a detoxification medicine at this time?"

The poisons on Tu Lingfeng and Wang Han were both placed by the Eldest Son of the Yan Family. He presumed Tang Rao couldn't detoxify them, so he dared to act recklessly. But afterward, he saw that his supposedly incurable poison had indeed been cured by Tang Rao.

The first time was luck, what about the second time?

Wang Han hadn't woken up yet. It was only when she woke up, and the Eldest Son of the Yan Family knew, that he'd realize how desperate he would feel.

"Disciple, in my unworthiness, I only managed to refine three eighth-grade Detoxification Pills in three days. Really, I'm losing face."

After Wang Han took the pill, the detoxification process required some time. As she was recovering, Tang Rao took the opportunity to tease Wu Suowei.

"So you mean you refined three top-grade eighth-grade elixirs in three days? And you think you're not amazing at all and believe you still have room for improvement?"

Wu Suowei had already thought it through. If Tang Rao dared to admit these things and continued to provoke him, he would definitely give Tang Rao a good beating, no room for negotiation.

"Master, as my mentor, do you really have no confidence in me? Do you think I have poor aptitude and no room for progress?"

Fine, Wu Suowei decided not to answer Tang Rao's question. If he directly hit Tang Rao, maybe he could quickly realize how wrong saying this was.

"Ugh!"

Wu Suowei hadn't even struck Tang Rao yet. As soon as he raised his hand, he was hit with a foul stench emanating from the bed.

"Wow, what is this? Poison?"

Wu Suowei couldn't dodge in time, and in addition to the nauseating smell, he got splattered with quite a bit of liquid.

"Master, I think you should keep some distance, or maybe disappear and clean yourself up before reappearing. Seeing you like this, I can't handle it."

Wu Suowei really smelled terrible. To be honest, Tang Rao would rather smell manure than take a step closer to Wu Suowei.

"Your lady's poison has been cleared. Wash her up a bit and let her get some rest, and she'll recover quickly."

After vomiting, Wang Han remained asleep. Without much time to wait around, Tang Rao needed more time to trace the Eldest Son of the Yan Family.

"Smelly brat, your woman was the one who vomited on me, and you need to take responsibility."

Even though Wu Suowei was now very smelly, he shamelessly stayed close to Tang Rao like a persistent nuisance. Wherever Tang Rao went, Wu Suowei followed, bringing that pungent odor that could make one question life itself.

"Master, what do you want me to do to take responsibility? As long as you don't follow me, even if you want the stars in the sky, I'll find a way, just please disappear from my sight immediately."

Wu Suowei followed Tang Rao out of Wang Han's courtyard. Hearing Tang Rao say he'd fulfill any wish if he disappeared, Wu Suowei's eyes lit up, and he quickly expressed his wish.

"You must still have an eighth-grade Detoxification Pill, right? Give me one, and I'll disappear immediately, never following you again."

Since Tang Rao could produce one eighth-grade Detoxification Pill, surely he had a second or third. Wu Suowei thought he'd try his luck, considering how expensive eighth-grade elixirs are, and if there weren't any, he'd accept it. To his surprise, Tang Rao truly took out a Jade Purifying Bottle from the Space Ring and placed it in Wu Suowei's hand.
