473: Bait

Bait

"That man didn't love anyone before he was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him loved him intensely. Therefore, even if you have learned the poison's formula, it's useless because no one will love him more than that woman." I looked at Tong Yan. "I'll use Jing Tian as an example to help you understand. Jing Tian and I are already deeply in love before you arrived. So your poison wouldn't work. If you're his poison, then I'm his antidote. You don't love Jing Tian, and Jing Tian doesn't love you. Now, are you satisfied?"1

The light in Tong Yan's eyes faded bit by bit.

I stood up and wanted to leave, but she stopped me. "Don't be so proud. They'll find me soon. My brother isn't from the Tong family, but I am!" Tong Yan glared at me with a stubborn gaze.

I didn't care at all. "I'll wait for them to come."

I walked out.

"I'm really from the Tong Family!" She raised her voice.

"So what?" I asked.

She was at a loss for words.

"So what if you have the Tong Family blood? So what if your surname is Tong? Are you going to forget everything I did to you?" I asked her.

She gritted her teeth. "We can negotiate."

"What's your condition?" I asked her.

"Let me go! Have Ma Ji cure him! My mom loves him more than the woman who poisoned him!" Tong Yan's eyes flashed with determination.

I smiled. "And then?"

Tong Yan was stunned.

"That isn't a condition but a request. What benefit will I get?" I looked at her. "Do you really think I would just follow your orders because you made a demand?" Based on her expression, that was exactly what Tong Yan expected. I clarified. "I have no obligation to do any of this."

"Then, get Tong Le over here!" She was back to ordering me around.

"I won't let Tong Le come near you. Give up on that idea. As for that man, we'll leave it to fate. I am not a person brimming with sympathy. I will not let you go either. You have poisoned Jing Tian. You will have to atone for your sins until I am satisfied." I said coldly.

"Nanxing, we're from the same root. Why would you kill me?" Tong Yan finally lost her pride. 

I chuckled. "You already knew that a long time ago, but you still attacked Jing Tian and me. Is that moral only applicable to me?"

"I can ask them to stop. I can make them negotiate with you, Nanxing! I'm being sincere! I'm doing this for your own good! You can't contend with their strength! It's true! If you let me go, I'll definitely help you!" Tong Yan told me anxiously.

I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at her. "It's too late! Tong Yan, I gave you a chance earlier, but you threw it away."

"You can't win them. Nanxing, you overestimate yourself. I'm doing this for your own good!" Tong Yan was really anxious.

I looked at her. I said, "I have done many things that are not good for me. I don't mind doing one more. Even if I die, I will splatter them with my blood. It's too late now. If you have time, you should pray for them."

I closed the door. I was done with the discussion and negotiation. I couldn't care who my enemy was and what their intentions were because I would fight all of them!

Of course, my confidence also came from Old Master Jing, my little uncle, and Qu Hao. Without them, I wouldn't have enough strength to take on the enemy.

I was using myself as bait to lure out all the monsters.
