“But your injuries—” His trusted aide looked at his injuries and hesitated.

He was their young master. What would they do if something happened to him?

“No buts. My injuries are fine,” Young Master Tan interrupted him sternly.

The injuries he had suffered in the past were much more serious. His current injuries were nothing to him.

However, he never expected to fail miserably here.

Pharmacist Yin was really an idiot. Even his master was not very intelligent. However, he had no choice but to cooperate with these people. Otherwise, his strength would be insignificant.

“Let’s hurry on our—”

“Where are you hurrying to?”

A sudden voice interrupted Young Master Tan, and his pupils constricted.

“Be on your guard!” He reacted instantly.

He retracted his hand from his wounds, regardless of how painful they were, and drew his flexible sword from his belt.

His trusted aides immediately drew their long swords and pointed them at the group of people suddenly surrounding them.

One of them whispered to Young Master Tan, “Young Master, you should leave first. We’ll shield your retreat!”

His expression was unusually solemn, as if he would risk his life for Young Master Tan.

The leader of the group surrounding them had good hearing and heard what Young Master Tan’s trusted aide said.

He sneered, “Tsk, you’re quite loyal. Don’t worry, we won’t kill anyone from the Tan family.”

Young Master Tan felt his body tense. The mention of the Tan family almost made him lose his ability to think.

How can I be considered a member of the Tan family?

If the elders of the Tan family find out that I’ve done something like this here, will I even live? Even if I escape this place, I won’t have a chance at surviving.

Since these people found out I’m from the Tan family, none of them shall leave alive!

Ruthlessness radiated in his eyes.

The leader noticed the murderous look in Young Master Tan’s eyes, but he continued sneering. Although they could not capture Young Master Tan directly, they could not let him go so easily.

“Hand your things over, and I’ll spare your life,” he said coldly.

Young Master Tan subconsciously pressed his left hand against his chest.

All the prescriptions he had snatched from Pharmacist Yin were in his chest pocket. They were his only bargaining chips to continue working with his master.

Of course, he would not hand them over. Besides, he did not want to keep his trusted aides.

He glanced at them meaningfully. “Attack!”

His trusted aides heard him and pounced on the people surrounding them in unison.

However, they did not use their swords first. Instead, they took out a few porcelain bottles from their pockets and threw them at the crowd when they were not paying attention.

“You’re using poison?”

The leader of the group surrounding them chuckled as he watched them attack. Did they think they would be unprepared for poison after finding out he was from the Tan family?

“Kill everyone besides the one surnamed Tan,” he instructed.

Suddenly, Young Master Tan heard a series of screams. The lethal poison his trusted aides had scattered was useless. None of them collapsed from it.

The Tan family was well-known for producing poison in Daqing Kingdom. Although he had yet to officially join the Tan family, he had some knowledge of poison.
