Zhao Yuexin had been feeling Du Ming's angry aura all along, but at this moment, she suddenly saw him reveal an expression that was a bit too used to being beaten up, and it felt a little unfamiliar.
But Du Ming quickly collected his expression and continued to say seriously, "Anping Wen was already a bit crazy at the time. After secretly calculating the master's success, he shouted at us that he was the number one poison expert in the world. As the eldest brother, I naturally went up and knocked him down, forcing him to hand over the antidote. He didn't hand it over, but fortunately my level is still stronger than his. I personally helped the master detoxify and subdued Anping Wen."
Zhao Yuexin let out a slight sigh of relief, "That's good, then what? How did you deal with him?"
Du Ming said with a sigh, "At that time, we didn't know that An Pingwen was the murderer who harmed our younger brother. We thought he just wanted to prove himself crazy. Master scolded him severely and drove him out of the sect, not allowing him to come back. Unexpectedly, he sent a letter back later, detailing how he poisoned our younger brother at the time and why he wanted to kill him. His tone was very proud, as if he thought this matter could prove his ability. However, when we wanted to find him again, he was nowhere to be found."
Zhao Yuxuan also heard it and was very indignant. "How could Anpingwen do such a thing? This is simply inhuman!"
Du Ming gritted his teeth and said, "So I made a vow to avenge my younger brother. Unfortunately, since then, An Ping has been out of contact, and I didn't expect to find a clue now. I will definitely not let him go!"
Zhao Yuxuan also nodded in agreement, "Yes, this kind of person, absolutely cannot be let off!"
Zhao Yuexin was poisoned twice within two days, and ran around to save people, getting quite tired from the ordeal. Du Ming sent her back home and returned home himself.
The next evening, Du Ming knew that Qin Huaiyi would definitely think of a way to find himself for an antidote. He was preparing to go out to the bar to see him when his phone rang. It was Zhao Yuexin calling.
"Are you going to see Qin Huaiyi tonight?"
Du Ming said, "What's wrong?"
"Me too! Wait a minute and come pick me up so we can go together!"
Du Ming slightly furrowed his brow, "What are you going to do? What if he secretly plots against you again?"
"You!" Zhao Yu'e's words were stuck in her throat, and she could only say, "Isn't it just you? With you here, I'm not afraid! I just want to see how that guy will be brought to his knees!"
"Alright," Du Ming said helplessly, "then you pack up and get ready, I'll come to pick you up in a while."
Du Ming drove to Bai Mei's home and picked up Zhao Yuexin, the two of them went to the bar where they had a competition with Qin Huaiyi yesterday.
The bar was in a big mess yesterday by Du Ming and others, but not many things were broken and no one was hurt. Today it's still open for business as usual, and there are quite a few customers.
Du Ming and Zhao Yuexuan walked into the bar, just as they reached the counter, the bartender's face showed a terrified expression. "You two are back again? You won't... you won't smash our store again, will you?"
Du Ming said helplessly, "What we did yesterday was indeed to save people, it's just that the time was urgent and the method was a bit rough. Today we absolutely won't be rough again, nor will we smash things in your bar, okay?"
The bartender nodded slightly and retreated to wipe his wine glass.
Zhao Yu'e asked Du Ming with some doubt, "Will that Qin Huaiyi definitely come?"
Du Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely come."
As soon as Du Ming's voice fell, the door of the bar was pushed open and a man wearing a hood walked in, walking up to Du Ming and pulling down his hood, revealing Qin Huaiyi.
Du Ming sneered and smiled, "How about it? Master? Has this poison been solved?"
Qin Huaiyi's sleeve was rolled up, and the small blood-red hole that Du Ming had tied yesterday was still there. It was just an inconspicuous little hole, but Qin Huaiyi could clearly feel the change in the flow of his inner meridians. Du Ming was definitely not trying to scare himself.
Qin Huaiyi said with some fear, "What kind of poison did you give me?"
Du Ming smiled and said, "You're not going to try it out? How could I possibly tell you what poison I've used when we're trying it out?"
Qin Huaiyi said almost pleadingly, "I give up! I won't challenge you again, I'm your defeated subordinate! Just help me detoxify!"
"Oh," Du Ming raised an eyebrow, "don't you have a very powerful master? Why don't you go find him to help you treat this?"
Qin Huai Zhi's face changed slightly, "My master..."
"Hmph," Du Ming snorted, "Your master has always been an ungrateful and ruthless scoundrel. You're no longer of value to him, would he still bother to give you the antidote?"
Qin Huaiyi had obviously contacted Anping Wen before, and upon hearing Du Ming's words, he became even more desperate. He excitedly grabbed onto Du Ming's clothes, "Please, please! Now you're the only one who can save me! Please help me dispel the poison!"
"Alright," Du Ming shook off Qin Huaiyi's hand, "I can help you detoxify, but first, you need to answer a few questions for me."
Qin Huaiyi hastily nodded his head, "You ask and I'll answer, as long as I know, I will definitely tell the truth!"
Du Ming asked, "Anpingwen, how did you get to know him?"
Qin Huaiyi reminisced for a moment, saying, "I used to be an extremely ordinary person, but I was infatuated with the art of poison-making. I sought out masters everywhere, but none of them were willing to teach me, until my master... An Pingwen. I met him when I went to visit a famous master once."
"Great Master?" Du Ming furrowed his brow, "Who?!"
His name is Feng Tai.
"Feng Tai? Didn't he die three years ago?"
"Yes, it was that day," Qin Huai Zhi said with a quivering voice. "That day Anping Wen went to find Feng Tai and told him he had interfered in his affairs, came to teach him a lesson, and then used a poisonous needle to stab him once. Unexpectedly, less than a minute later, Feng Tai fell to the ground dead."
"So Feng Tai's corpse was his doing?" Du Ming raised an eyebrow, "It seems that An Pingwen has done quite a few things over the years!"
Qin Huaiyi carefully glanced at Du Ming, and continued to say, "At that time, I was just watching from the side, and at first, I was scared silly. But later on, I thought, he's so powerful, if I can be his apprentice, it would be great. So I begged him to teach me, and unexpectedly, he agreed. For the past three years, he has been teaching me the methods of poisoning."
Du Ming nodded solemnly, "Then how many people are in this 'school' of yours? Does An Pingwen have any other disciples?"
