The family competition is over, in Xiao Jingtai's study.

Xiao Zhengchu sat behind the bookcase and leisurely held a purple sand teapot, sipping lightly at the spout, he looked at Xiao Jingtai who was standing opposite and said with a smile: "Ask." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Taishang, is there really something wrong with your body?"

Xiao Zhengchu shook his head.

Xiao Jingtai let out a sigh of depression, since Xiao Zhengchu appeared on the high platform of the Yanwu Academy before, his mind was the same as everyone else, his mind was full of Xiao family's sky, is it about to collapse? Now that he got this answer, his heart immediately relaxed, and then asked puzzledly: "But why?"

He didn't understand why Xiao Zhengchu wanted to show weakness, since it wasn't a physical problem, what was the reason?

Xiao Zhengchu put down the purple clay pot in his hand, changed his previous leisure, and said with a serious expression: "A few days ago, I accidentally found out about something. This incident made me feel that someone was secretly targeting my Xiao family. The Xiao family is not as monolithic as it seems, and I am even more worried that this matter is related to my Xiao family. But there are too few clues to find out. I can only show weakness to the enemy and let the other party come out of the shadows. ”

"Taishang, what is it that makes you so worried?"

"Poisoner!"

"Poisoner?" Xiao Jingtai's mind flashed with relevant information, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he said, "Could it be a poison spirit master?"

Xiao Zhengchu nodded.

Xiao Jingtai was silent for a moment, he didn't speak, and Xiao Feng, who was staying aside, was a little anxious. He couldn't help asking, "Master, grandpa, what are the poisonous people you are talking about, the poisonous spirit master?"

Xiao Zhengchu didn't answer, Xiao Jingtai opened his mouth to explain: "There is a kind of person in this world, they can refine high-level spirit masters and low-level spirit masters into poisonous people, so that these people have poisonous attributes. This is a ruthless refining method, and the person who is being refined is usually worse than dead, and it is difficult to succeed. However, once the refining is successful, this poisonous person will completely obey the orders of the refining person. ”

"The number of spirit masters in a family determines the strength of the family. In the past two years, there have been two spirit masters among the children of our Xiao family, which shows how difficult it is for spirit masters to break through. If you only look at it from the perspective of breakthrough, it is difficult for the spirit master to break through, and the refining of the poison spirit master will not be so easy, and the failure rate must be very high. But once successful, one poison spirit master can be worth at least three or four ordinary spirit masters. This is the horror of the poison master. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Feng was a little emotionally moved by the horror of the poison spirit master, but he still had some ideas, and hurriedly said: "Since it is a refining poisoner, then a large number of poison materials must be needed, will you find it from the medicinal materials?"

Xiao Zhengchu said: "It's good that you can think of this, which is why I said that there are too few clues." Because I have investigated the poisons on the market, there are no abnormal changes in the market. So where did these herbs come from? ”

Xiao Feng said, "Could it be provided by other families?"

Xiao Jingtai patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder and said, "You don't know much about other families, they can't provide such a big consumption at all, and only our Xiao family can do it." Of course, if it is an outsider, it is difficult to say. ”

Xiao Zhengchu nodded and said, "Yes, this is also the reason why I suspect that someone in the family is colluding with them." But they were so cautious that they couldn't find out on the surface. It is also very likely that these poisons were prepared from a very early age. ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "So, once they know that something is wrong with your body, they will speed up the pace of action? ”

Xiao Zhengchu said: "That's right! This is also the reason why I didn't stop you from killing in the life-and-death battle before." First, you can use this to solve the matter of life and death. Second, to cooperate with my weakness, they will definitely speed up the pace of the plan, and as long as they show flaws, they will uproot them. ”

Xiao Feng said, "Then will they guess your intentions, or are they still acting cautiously?"

Xiao Zhengchu laughed and said, "Child, where will things go as expected? If they are cautious, or have guessed my intentions, then continue to wait." Of course, during this time, we also have to prepare in advance. ”

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Xiao Jingtai asked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to the head of the family, Xiao Heng is back. There was a voice outside.

Before the voice outside finished speaking, Xiao Feng grabbed the topic and asked excitedly, "Is the Sixth Elder back?"

The voice outside hurriedly replied: "Family master, Xiao Heng is seriously injured and is now in a coma, and the doctor is treating him." ”

"What?"

A surprised voice sounded in the room at the same time, Xiao Jingtai hurriedly walked to the door, he just turned around, Xiao Feng had already rushed out and opened the door, and said to the guards outside: "Where?

The guard hurriedly led Xiao Feng and Xiao Jingtai towards the outer courtyard.

In the wing room closest to the outer courtyard, Xiao Feng saw the scarred Xiao Heng. Stab wounds, sword wounds, and several broken arrows stuck all over the body. Xiao Feng's brows immediately furrowed when he saw this scene, and his mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

When Xiao Heng left Xiao Mansion four months ago, he said with an expectant look that he would come back to compete with him in the family competition. The family is more than Xiao Feng, because they have not come back, they have been sullen. Seeing Xiao Heng again at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. What worried him even more was Xiao Bai.

"How could this be, is he alone?" Xiao Feng asked.

At this time, there was a guard on the side, and he hurriedly replied: "When I found Young Master Heng, Young Master Heng was alone, and he had already passed out at that time. It was his mount that took him back to the Shaw Mansion. ”

Xiao Jingtai looked at the doctor who was being treated by Xiao Heng and asked, "Doctor Liu, how is his injury?"

Doctor Liu carefully took out the arrow for Xiao Heng and said, "The injury is very serious, but fortunately, there is still a trace of vitality in his body to maintain his life." I think he must have taken the pill before, otherwise he would be a corpse now. ”

Xiao Feng hurriedly took out three bottles of green spirit liquid from his arms and handed them over, saying, "Third-order high-grade green spirit liquid, you give him a dose first." ”

Doctor Liu's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the green spirit liquid: "This is a life-saving thing, with this and the medicine I prescribed." The head of the family, please rest assured, Young Master Heng's life will not be in any more problems. ”

Xiao Jingtai nodded.

Xiao Feng was full of doubts, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jingtai and asked, "Grandpa, Sixth Uncle, he came back to transfer people over before, what happened? Okay, it's impossible to transfer people over temporarily." ”

Xiao Jingtai didn't answer immediately, he said to Doctor Liu, "Doctor Liu, Heng'er will leave it to you." ”

Dr. Liu nodded.

Xiao Jingtai said to Xiao Feng: "You come with me!"

Xiao Feng followed Xiao Jingtai back to the study, where Xiao Zhengchu was still sitting there sipping tea.

As soon as he entered the study, Xiao Jingtai explained to Xiao Feng: "Your sixth uncle came back last time because he found a crystal mine. ”

"Crystal Mine?" Xiao Feng asked with some puzzlement.

Xiao Jingtai explained: "Crystal ore is not comparable to ordinary ores, this kind of thing that contains attribute power is an indispensable resource even in the sect. The crystal ore discovered by your sixth uncle is below the family's vein, and it was discovered by the person who mined it. So he immediately rushed back and dispatched men to garrison it to prevent others from prying eyes. ”

"Now it seems that the crystal mine should have been known by someone, so it was attacked. ”

Xiao Feng said without thinking about it: "Grandpa, then hurry up and send someone over to support." Sixth Uncle's current situation must be very dangerous, and if he delays a little longer, the more dangerous Sixth Uncle will be. ”

Xiao Jingtai nodded and said, "I will arrange this matter immediately, you go back first." ”

Xiao Feng refused: "No, if it's someone else, forget it." But Uncle Sixth is in a dilemma, and I must go over to help. ”

Xiao Jingtai glanced at Xiao Feng, sighed and said, "No! This time the matter is too dangerous, you are not allowed to go." ”

Xiao Feng said with a serious face: "Grandpa, you can't stop me." Even if you don't let me go now, I'll go secretly. Uncle Six must not be fine!"

Xiao Zhengchu said: "Let him go." ”

Xiao Jingtai said: "Taishang, Xiao Bai has already transferred a lot of manpower when he came back last time, even so, Xiao Heng still returned to Xiao Mansion with such an injury, which shows the danger of this time." ”

Xiao Zhengchu said with a smile: "You underestimate him too much." Maybe it's up to him this time. Let him go. Besides, can you stop it?"

Xiao Jingtai listened, sighed and said, "Alas, you go back and clean up." ”

Xiao Feng hurriedly rushed out of the study and ran towards his other courtyard.
