159: C159 Poison Pill

C159 Poison Pill

Hsiao Yang's heart tightened.

No matter what Ye Xu did to make him unhappy, Ye Xu was still the person Zeng Lei had ordered him to protect.

He also knew that young man. He was Wen Zhuo's younger brother, Wen Hee. Although they were brothers in name, they were two orphans who had no one to rely on. They had been relying on each other since they were young, and they had deep feelings for each other.

In this mission, Wen Zhuo had suffered a very serious injury. Even a Third Grade pill might not be able to cure him, but that was still Wen Hee's only hope.

The reason why Hsiao Yang paid attention to Wen Hee was because his talent was amazing. He was different from his brother, who had average talent. Wen Hee, who had awakened his martial soul, was a dazzling genius. He was also one of the best among his adventurers.

As if he could feel the anger in his master's heart, Wen Hee's steel arm was covered with a layer of small thorns. If his punch hit Ye Xu's face, Ye Xu's face would be disfigured.

However, the two of them were too close to each other, and Hsiao Yang couldn't save Ye Xu.

Suddenly, a ball of flames shot out, transforming into the shape of a firebird, and fiercely charged towards Wen Hee's fist.

The flame became more and more dazzling, and the temperature was so high that it could melt steel.

Wen Hee cried out in pain and hurriedly withdrew from the flame. His steel arm returned to its original state, and his skin was scalded until wrinkles were shed.

"Despicable!" Wen Hee looked at this woman and cursed.

Yaoguang's face turned cold. This person had sneaked an attack on Ye Xu, and he still dared to call her despicable.

"You attacked my young master first. Now, your means are only superb, but you call me despicable instead?"

Hearing the girl's cold voice, the fury in Wen Hee's eyes intensified. He said to Ye Xu, "If you have the ability, come over here. What kind of man are you hiding behind a woman?"

In his eyes, that beautiful woman was that man's bodyguard. Only the young master of a big family would have such a bodyguard.

He could not help but feel a wave of jealousy and hatred in his heart. These young masters did not understand the suffering of those who climbed up from the bottom. They would only trample on their hopes!

Ye Xu didn't know that Wen Hee had thought so much in such a short period of time.

He focused on rubbing the powder in his hand and even smelled it.

A rich fragrance was very similar to the taste of osmanthus flowers in his previous life.

"Say something! You've become mute?" Wen Hee saw that Ye Xu did not speak and shouted angrily.

"You are so noisy." Ye Xu was disturbed and looked unhappy. He walked to Wen Hee and raised his hand to sprinkle the powder on Wen Hee's other arm.

"You!"

Wen Hee was stunned. Ye Xu's movement was clearly very slow in his eyes. But the moment he wanted to reach out to block it, he found that Ye Xu had already sprinkled the powder on his arm.

Before he could get angry, there was a sharp pain in his arm. Wen Hee looked down and saw that the skin that the white powder touched seemed to melt and instantly fester.

Along with the white pungent smoke, the festering area gradually increased. Wen Hee could not bear the pain and let out a roar.

When the surrounding people saw Wen Hee's miserable condition, they couldn't help but retreat. The power of this poison was too terrifying. It could actually damage the body of a Heavenly River Stage warrior to such an extent.

If Wen Hee hadn't immediately circulated his spirit energy and used his martial soul to protect his skin, perhaps this poison would have melted his bones!

When they looked at Ye Xu again, their eyes revealed fear, but there were also some who roared furiously.

"He's so young, yet his mind is already so vicious. Did Wen Hee offend you?!"

"Mr Wen is such a good person, but you have actually used poison to harm him. You are truly despicable!"

"You, a man who only knows how to hide behind a woman, only have this much potential. Shameless bastard!"

Wen Hee's forehead was full of sweat from the pain. He stared at Ye Xu and waved his hand. He shouted, "All of you, shut up!"

The crowd stopped talking. They looked at Wen Hee in confusion. They were clearly helping Wen Hee, but why did Wen Hee want them to shut up?

Wen Hee looked at Ye Xu with a serious expression.

His life experience as an orphan had taught him to judge a person's good and bad.

The footwork of the man in front of him was very strange. Wen Hee did not even see how he sprinkled the powder on his arm.

This person was very likely to be a hidden expert!

If Ye Xu's young face did not deceive Wen Hee, Wen Hee felt that he would have noticed Ye Xu in advance.

And that powder...

Wen Hee took a breath and took a step back. He said respectfully, "Thank you for your help. Otherwise, my brother would have died even if he took this medicine."

Ye Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, finding it very interesting.

He originally thought that Wen Hee was a very emotional and impulsive person. But he quickly saw the current situation and lowered his head to Ye Xu. He was very smart to guess Ye Xu's intention.

To be honest, Ye Xu began to admire him a little.

Except for Hsiao Yang, who had an ugly expression on his face, the rest of the people present were not as sensitive.

"Wen Hee, why are you speaking for him? He almost killed you, and he even robbed us of our medicinal pills!"

"That's right. Wen Hee, could it be that you've forgotten about your elder brother who relies on you?"

"Could it be that you want to follow him and abandon your brother? Your brother spent so much effort to raise you, who would have thought that he would raise an ungrateful person! "

A few people pointed at Wen Hee and questioned him.

"Use your brain before you speak!"

Wen Hee said coldly. The burning pain on his arm was still there. He knew it was Ye Xu's warning.

"The powder in his hand just now was from that pill. And that pill could hurt the skin to this extent. If a person swallowed it, what would happen to his internal organs? This is not a healing pill, but a batch of poison! "

When Wen Hee said this, he felt a lingering fear.

If it wasn't for Ye Xu stopping him, his brother would most likely have died because of this medicinal pill. This would make him regret it for the rest of his life.

The resentment and anger in Wen Hee's heart gradually disappeared. He looked at Ye Xu's face, and a sense of gratitude rose in his heart.

"Poison?" Someone shouted and threw the pill away, as if it was something terrifying.

Soon, more people reacted and looked at Hsiao Yang with fierce expressions.

It was the pill that this person gave them for treatment. They did not expect it to be poison!

Wen Hee also stared at Hsiao Yang angrily.

Hsiao Yang would not harm the martial artists under his banner so openly. Wen Hee understood this principle. If Hsiao Yang did this, he would not be able to escape responsibility, nor would he benefit from it.

There must be some insider information about this matter.

However, Wen Hee couldn't help but get angry. If it wasn't for Ye Xu's presence, his brother would have died because of the Hanhai Trading Company's mistake!1

"All of you must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Wen Hee's expression was cold.

Hsiao Yang's face was full of helplessness.

He quickly understood that a traitor had appeared in the Hanhai Trading Company. It was very likely that this was instigated by the other trading companies. Today's farce was also instigated by them.

But now was not the time to settle accounts with them. The key was how to restore the reputation of the Hanhai Trading Company.

Just as Hsiao Yang was about to speak, a young man rushed into the Yellow Crane Tower and said anxiously, "Mr Wen, Mr Wen is going to die soon!"
