“Uh!” Leng Qianye’s face was filled with question marks.

Ye Chen had no choice but to elaborate.

“Didn’t the Wen family recruit an alchemist?” Leng Qianye asked in confusion after hearing Ye Chen’s words. Logically speaking, if the Wen family was really poisoned, shouldn’t they first find an alchemist to refine an antidote pill? However, from Ye Chen’s words, it seemed that the Wen family had never made any big moves. Well! Could it be that others knew?

“No,” Ye Chen said. He had thought of using the name of an alchemist to sneak in, but if they offered themselves up, they might arouse the Wen family’s suspicion, so they had been waiting for an opportunity.

“This Wen family is quite tolerant. If this poison is really related to Little Xue’er, I’m afraid no alchemist other than Xue’er can cure it!” Leng Qianye said in admiration. Little Xue’er was really too capable. She could even poison the Wen family under the nose of that powerful man. Hehe! What an idol!

“Yes, but the Wen family hasn’t made any moves. They must be counting on the alchemists provided by their family!” Ye Chen guessed.

“Looks like we can only wait now.” Leng Qianye nodded.

In the main hall of the Wen family mansion.

The head of the Wen family paced back and forth in the main hall like a cat on hot bricks. The elders who were watching felt dizzy, but none of them dared to say anything because they knew that the head of the family had been in a bad mood recently.

Sigh! After wandering around for an unknown period of time, the head of the Wen family let out a long sigh. He was extremely depressed. It had been almost half a month. In the beginning, his family members had diarrhea, but now, their bodies were itchy and aching. From time to time, their bodies would heat up. He did not know what to say.

The only ones who were fine in the entire family were the Old Ancestor and Leng Ruoxue.

The Old Ancestor was spared because his cultivation level was high and he had long stopped eating. However, Leng Ruoxue was only a Mystic Supremacy. Why was she fine?

These days, the guard in charge of monitoring Leng Ruoxue also reported that there was nothing suspicious about that woman. She only ate and slept every day and did nothing else.

Aye! How had that happened? He did not understand.

“Patriarch, something bad has happened!” Just as the Wen family’s patriarch was feeling extremely frustrated, the Wen family’s butler shouted again and ran into the main hall.

“What are you shouting for?” The head of the Wen family glared at the butler and said angrily.

“Uh! Master, Excellency Ming has also been poisoned,” the Head Butler said carefully. They had invited this Alchemy Master from the main family, but now he had also been poisoned. Sigh! How were they going to explain this to the main family!

“What? How did Excellency Ming get poisoned?” The head of the Wen family was shocked when he heard this. This was not a small matter! It had to be known that the main family had spent a lot of money to provide for these alchemists. Even though this Excellency Ming was not the top alchemist in the family, he was definitely one of the best! More importantly, the food that Excellency Ming ate was bought from outside. The possibility of being poisoned was extremely small.

“Uh! I don’t know. I just received a report from my maidservant,” the Head Butler said tearfully.

“Elders, do you have any good ideas?” The head of the Wen family asked helplessly. Sigh! Excellency Ming’s poisoning had left him at a loss.

“Patriarch, if it really doesn’t work, ask the main family for help again!” An elder said very cautiously.

“You still want to borrow it? Do you want the main family to think that we’re useless?” The Patriarch of the Wen family said with a headache. Sigh! He also wanted to borrow it! However, the thought of the reaction from the main family made him want to cry!

“Why don’t we hire an alchemist ourselves?” Another elder suggested. The cost of hiring an alchemist was not small. Therefore, any family with strength would provide for the alchemist themselves. They would only go to the Alchemist Association if they had no choice.

“How much would it cost to treat yourself! No, it’s not worth it.” An elder immediately objected.

“If we don’t invite them ourselves, are we going to trouble the main family? We have to pay for borrowing people from the main family. Not only that, but it might also give the people who are eyeing the fat piece of meat and looking for trouble a chance to take advantage of it. Therefore, we really can’t borrow people from the main family anymore,” the elder who suggested to hire an alchemist said.

“Patriarch, I think Sixth Elder makes sense. Let’s invite them ourselves!” An elder echoed.

“Yes, Head Butler, take my note and go to the Alchemist Association!” The Patriarch of the Wen family said helplessly.

“Yes,” the Head Butler replied and turned to leave. Oh! Fortunately, this poison was a sequential attack, so before his poison acted up, he had to invite the alchemist back.

After the butler left, the Patriarch of the Wen family sat down on a chair and ignored everyone else, sulking alone!
