#1158 - Chapter 1158 Strange Poisoning
However, when the surrounding people saw the green-robed youth come into contact with Sheng Ge, they were all shocked.
“This…”
“I just saw that poison kid touch that little girl.”
“That’s right! That’s right! I saw it too.”
At this moment, the few of them also felt the fiery gazes of the surrounding people.
Ye Kong and the other three were walking in front and did not notice Sheng Ge's situation behind them.
“Why do I feel like they are all looking at us?” Zhang Tie said softly to the person beside him.
“I feel like they are not only looking at us, but also avoiding us,” Wen Jie said.
Ye Kong also noticed that the people around the street were indeed subtly keeping their distance from them.
“Could it be that we are… too handsome!” Zhang Tie touched his hair triumphantly and gave Wen Jie an extremely flirtatious wink.
Wen Jie instantly felt a burning sensation in his eyes.
“Hahahahahaha~” Gongsun Qing laughed loudly.
At this moment, Gongsun Qing seemed to have thought of something and turned around as he spoke.
“Junior Sister Sheng, have you thought about going to…”
“My god!”
Before he could finish speaking, Gongsun Qing exclaimed in shock.
Hearing the sound, Ye Kong and the others in front also immediately turned around.
When they saw the scene in front of them, their eyes widened, as if they had seen something terrifying.
At this moment, there were also quite a few exclamations from the surroundings.
“Look!”
“That girl’s face!”
“Heavens, she must have touched that Xu family’s poison jar.”
“That’s right, that’s right, I just saw it.”
…
What shocked everyone was Sheng Ge.
At this moment, Sheng Ge's face was no longer fair and jade-like, but full of blackish-green, and even her lips had become somewhat purplish-black.
The change in complexion made Sheng Ge look extremely prominent, even a little scary.
When she saw the strange gazes of the surrounding people and the surprised expressions of Ye Kong and the others, Sheng Ge paused, feeling that something was wrong.
“Senior… Senior Sister, you, you, are you alright?” Zhang Tie was frightened by Sheng Ge's appearance, and even his speech was a little stuttering.
Sheng Ge's eyes were blank, not knowing what Zhang Tie meant.
“Should something be wrong with me?”
Ye Kong did not know where he took out a bamboo hat with a light veil, and with a flip of his hand, he put it on Sheng Ge's head.
Not knowing what was going on, Sheng Ge was put on the bamboo hat, covering her face.
“Let’s find an inn first.”
Realizing what was happening, the group immediately went to look for an inn to stay.
“There’s a Taoju Inn not far ahead!” Wen Jie pointed forward.
Ye Kong and the others surrounded Sheng Ge in the middle, and the group walked towards the inn.
Arriving at the inn, Gongsun Qing asked the shopkeeper for five rooms, and then the group entered one of the rooms.
After entering the room, Ye Kong let Sheng Ge take off her bamboo hat.
As soon as she took it off, her strange face was revealed, and even though they had seen it before, they were still shocked when they saw it again.
Gongsun Qing took a bronze mirror and handed it to Sheng Ge, and Sheng Ge saw her appearance in the mirror.
When Sheng Ge saw her face in the mirror, her small hand trembled.
But at this moment, Sheng Ge could not listen to any persuasion, and kept covering her face tightly, not letting anyone see it.
“This…” Zhang Tie was a little helpless.
Ye Kong quietly came to Sheng Ge's back, and as his single finger moved, a ray of light flashed and landed on Sheng Ge's head.
Sheng Ge paused, her head was a little dizzy, and she quietly closed her eyes.
Ye Kong reached out and caught Sheng Ge, picked her up, and placed her on the bed.
“Ye Kong, Junior Sister, she?” Wen Jie asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I just cast a simple sleeping curse on her, she will have a good night’s sleep tonight.”
The group then walked out of Sheng Ge's room.
“Junior Brother Ye, do you know why Junior Sister Sheng’s face has become like that?” Gongsun Qing asked tentatively.
Ye Kong nodded, recalling the situation on the street today, where the people around avoided the green-robed youth, and Sheng Ge had come into contact with him, which might have a great relationship.
“I do have an idea in my mind. I have already diagnosed her just now. She has been poisoned with a kind of poison.”
“What! Poisoned?” The three of them were shocked when they heard this.
“How could she be poisoned? We travel and eat together, why are we fine?” Wen Jie questioned.
“Junior Brother Ye, can you cure this poison?” Gongsun Qing asked.
Ye Kong shook his head, “To detoxify, one must know its source, and I have never even seen this kind of poison before, it’s very strange.”
Ye Kong could not think of a way for the time being, and the few of them were silent for a while.
After a while, Ye Kong spoke.
“Let’s go to the city to inquire. The solution may be in this Sifang City.”
The three of them looked at each other, understanding what Ye Kong said.

The group left the inn and came to the largest teahouse in Sifang City—Xiaozhi Teahouse.
Chatting is indispensable when drinking tea. Ye Kong and the others went to the teahouse in order to find out the news that was inadvertently discussed during the tea.
As soon as the group walked in, a waiter came forward to greet them.
“Hey, a few guests, you look unfamiliar, you must be visiting Xiaozhi Teahouse for the first time, please come and sit down quickly.” The waiter with a plain cloth on his shoulder greeted Ye Kong and the others warmly.
Ye Kong and the others found a four-sided seat in the corner and sat down accordingly.
“Waiter, bring me a pot of your best tea, and a few side dishes.” Zhang Tie skillfully ordered the menu, like a regular customer.
“Okay, a few guests, please wait a moment.” The waiter retreated with a smile.
After taking his seat, Ye Kong occasionally glanced at the environment inside the teahouse. Below the three-story building, there was a semi-exposed platform, like a performance venue for opera.
“Guest, the tea is here, be careful it’s hot!” The waiter put a pot of fragrant red sandalwood pot on the table, lowered his head, bent his waist, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Ye Kong.
“Wait!”
The waiter stopped immediately.
“Guest, is there anything else you want to order?” The waiter still had a smile on his face.
Ye Kong casually pointed to the semi-exposed platform.
“Do you have a little song performance in your teahouse?” Ye Kong asked pretendingly.
“Oh! Guest, that’s not a platform for performing opera, that’s the place for our teahouse storyteller. The storyteller tells two stories a day, one at noon and one during the day.” The waiter explained honestly.
“Storytelling, that’s interesting, then what is the content you are talking about?” Gongsun Qing asked.
The waiter replied again: “The storytelling must be about what everyone is interested in.”
“Alright, we know, you can go down first.” Ye Kong casually dismissed the waiter.
