Chapter 56: What Happened to Your Eyes?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Was it supposed to be Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison?” Jun Linyuan repeated what Yu Mingye said a minute ago.

“Um…” Yu Mingye looked suspiciously guilty.

Jun Linyuan stepped forward, keeping his sharp, unblinking gaze on Yu Mingye the whole time.

“I…” Yu Mingye took a step back.

It then occurred to him suddenly: how could he step back? He was supposed to be Jun Linyuan’s No. 1 rival; he had to hold his ground! At that thought, Yu Mingye stuck out his chest and tried his best to return Jun Linyuan’s gaze with equal intensity!

The look in Jun Linyuan’s eyes was gloomy, dangerous, and brooding.

It gave Yu Mingye the creeps. A chill ran down his spine, but he struggled to keep his voice steady. “Yes, you heard me! It was supposed to contain Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison! There should be venom in that fruit!”

Yu Mingye gloated. “On my instruction, the ugly girl inserted the Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison into the fruit, hahaha — Jun Linyuan, I bet you didn’t see that coming, but that ugly girl switched to my side! She’s my woman now! She stole the juice of the fruit and poisoned it like I told her to! She was so obedient!”

Resting his hands on his waist, Yu Mingye laughed. “Do you want to know how I did it? Hahaha, it was really easy. I told her that I would make her my concubine if she did this for me. That ugly girl jumped at the offer and rushed back to finish her task. She would do anything for me, hahaha —”

The head of the elders watched as Yu Mingye guffawed and couldn’t help but look the other way… Young Master, have you already forgotten about your injured eyes?

Yu Mingye was still showing off his master plan. “She was free lunch, so I thought, why not? I accepted her service, then instructed her to steal the juice of the fruit and replace it with Wailing and Screaming Hypertoxic Cadaver Poison. Hahaha! Feng Xun, your life depends on me now!”

Feng Xun frowned at those words. He charged out again and grabbed Yu Mingye by the collar. “Who’s that ugly girl you’re talking about?!”

“Feng Xun, you idiot! Stop fooling yourself already! Who’s the ugly girl? That Xiaowu you’ve been crying for this whole time, of course!” Yu Mingye smiled at Feng Xun, very pleased with himself. “Can you see that now? Feng Xiaowu is on my side! She’s my woman!”

Thump! Feng Xun punched Yu Mingye!

Yu Mingye took a step back, dodging Feng Xun’s blow, but he frowned. “How come you’re still moving around? Are you really not poisoned? That’s impossible!”

He suddenly shifted his gaze to Jun Linyuan. “It’s your doing, isn’t it? You found out about it and switched out the venom!”

Jun Linyuan smiled a little. “It wasn’t me.”

“Who was it, then?!” Yu Mingye suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Jun Linyuan didn’t answer him. Instead, he looked around and asked casually, “What happened to your eyes?”

Yu Mingye felt like a bucket of cold water had just been poured over his head. His heart sank.
