Chapter 2100 Who hasn't made their plans yet?

The strategist finished recounting the plan he had heard.

The sect leader narrowed his eyes: "So, that expert is in cahoots with the three of them, is that right?"

"Absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Their goal is my luminous pearl."

"Moreover, Xiao Wen and Xiao Tian are just decoys; the one truly cooperating behind the scenes is that Xiao Zhao!"

The sect leader exclaimed in admiration, "Brilliant! Xiao Wen performed exceptionally well, and Xiao Tian's medical skills are superb. Hehe, but the one doing all the work behind the scenes is actually a idiot pretending to be stupid. Hehe, I was wondering how they could succeed so easily. Where was he planning to set fire?"

"study."

"Oh..." The sect leader nodded: "There are my cultural relics and antiques in the study. If there is a fire, I will definitely rush there. They will then steal my beads... Hehe, hahaha, it's really flawless. They've really succeeded in their scheme."

The sect leader slapped the armrest of his chair with a smug grin: "Xiao Wen was discussing business with my son, Xiao Tian was brewing medicine for me in the kitchen, and this Zhao Ritian... was plotting against my Night-Shining Pearl. Good!"

The sect leader slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up: "Tonight, let's wait and see how much trouble these three brats can cause. Oh, by the way, don't disturb them until my son has finalized the deal. We need to find that 'expert' and deal with him properly."

"My subordinate understands!"

"Hey, where did my lucky charm go? Where's my amulet? Why isn't it back from its walk yet?"

"Uh... I didn't see it. I'll go ask in the front yard."

"Never mind, let's take care of business first. We can have the housekeeper handle it."

"Yes."

The strategist thought for a moment and then added, "Sect Master, we still need to be careful with Xiao Tian's medicine."

"You don't need to tell me, I've had Caiyun keeping an eye on things, he can't do anything wrong."

"The sect leader is a master strategist. Let's see what kind of show they can put on tonight."

The sect leader's eyes turned cold: "You've teamed up to fabricate a scam for me? Heh, I'll show you who's the boss of Saihe!"

……

Not long after the strategist left, someone brought a message that Xiao Tian was requesting an audience.

"Xiao Tian?" the sect leader said, "Let him in."

Long Aotian entered and said, "Your subordinate greets the sect leader."

"Oh, Xiao Tian!" The sect leader greeted him with a broad smile. "What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

Long Aotian straightened up and looked at the sect leader.

He was different from Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen was obsequious; he seemed approachable and spoke pleasantly, but he lacked sophistication.

Lu Chengwen is a flexible person who can bend over when it matters.

Long Aotian was different; his every move exuded arrogance and nobility.

"I've discovered some problems, but I'm not sure if I should say anything."

"Hey, you're the top medical expert in our Kitchen Knife Sect. Just tell me what's wrong."

"Someone wants to hurt you."

"Um!?"

The sect leader was taken aback, then laughed: "Who wants to harm me?"

“Your concubine, Caiyun.”

"Oh..." the sect leader nodded, "Then why did she want to harm me?"

"Because she cheated on you."

"Huh? What did you say!?"

Long Aotian shrugged: "She's pregnant."

The sect leader felt his mind go blank and suddenly turn green.

"How did you know!?"

"You can tell."

Long Aotian said, "My medical skills allow me to diagnose this with just a little contact with her. Moreover, I know that you, Sect Leader, have been infertile for a long time, at least over a year. Therefore... the child is not yours."

The sect leader stared at Long Aotian: "What's the basis for your claims?"

Long Aotian smiled: "My eyes are the proof. If I'm wrong, you may kill or punish me as you see fit."

The sect leader asked, "How...how did she harm me?"

"I supervised the entire process of decocting the medicine with her, but she secretly added something. It's a slow-acting poison that's very harmful to the heart. Even a tiny bit can cause severe heart discomfort, but it's very similar to the symptoms of a common heart disease. So it's hard to tell the difference. Long-term use can be fatal within three months. It looks like you've been taking it for over a month, Sect Leader."

"Do you...do you know what I would do to you if you were just spouting nonsense?"

"I never lie about healing and saving lives. I discovered it the first time I took your pulse. I was just secretly adding medicine to neutralize the poison and observe who poisoned you. Now that things are clear, Sect Master, you can investigate yourself. I'll take my leave."

"stop!"

The sect leader's face darkened: "You're just going to leave after you've said that? You don't even have any evidence, how can I believe you?"

Long Aotian said, "She will bring the medicine in a little while. After you take it, you will feel much better tonight, but you will definitely experience severe heart pain tomorrow morning. The pain will subside after a while, and the medicine will provide relief again, but the pain will return at night. As for evidence... there is none. You can investigate it yourself."

The sect leader said with a grim face, "If what you say is true, then you have saved my life again."

"What I say is definitely true."

Long Aotian said, "Whether I tell you or not is up to me, whether you believe me or not is up to you. I'll take my leave now."

Long Aotian walked out.

The sect leader was so angry that he trembled all over.

"There are no good people left! There are no good people left in this Cleaver Clan!"

Let's finalize the business deal first.

Once the business deal is settled, I want to resolve everything at once!

……

That night.

living room.

Chen Mengyun led Hua Xuening and the others to the Kitchen Knife Sect once again.

The sect leader invited several of his friends, the seven brothers of the Cold Cave Ghosts, to the Kitchen Knife Sect.

The Cold Cave Ghosts are seven notorious scoundrels in Saihe, who do no good, but aren't completely evil either.

They had a very close personal relationship with the sect leader and often came to the Kitchen Knife Sect for food and drinks. The sect leader had many things he couldn't do in person, so these seven guys did the dirty work for him.

Today, the sect leader has several important matters to attend to, so I called them and asked them to guard the area around the Cleaver Sect.

He took command from the center.

……

In the woods outside.

A group of ghosts knelt in a row in the cold cave. The master uncle held a dog leg, munching on it while taking a sip of liquor. The aroma of dog meat and liquor mingled in his mouth, and he swallowed it down—delicious!

The senior apprentice pointed at them with his lackey-like manner: "You lot, do you know what to do?"

The seven people looked at each other, and all seven heads shook together.

"Damn it!" Ming Di Sha roared, "You know nothing but bullshit, and you think you're a bad guy?!"

The seven people had long faces.

"Senior, please... just tell us what you need, and we will definitely do it."

"Yes, yes, please stop torturing us. These past few days, we...we've really almost lost hope in life."

Ming Di Sha gnawed on a dog's leg and said, "Hey, you grown men, what are you crying for! You're all respectable people in Saihe, crying like this is unseemly!"

Ming Di Sha said, "The Kitchen Knife Sect is finished! Do you understand?"

"Senior, if you stay in Saihe for a few more days, this city will be finished."

"Bullshit! Bullshit!"

Ming Di Sha said, "I already have a plan. Once this matter is settled, I will give you a share of the profits."

The leader of the gang of ghosts clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "We have suffered under the wrath of the Vegetable Knife Clan in Saihe for too long! If you do not despise us, we are willing to acknowledge you as our godfather and wipe out the Vegetable Knife Clan! Let Saihe be a place of clear skies and blue skies again!"
