Chapter 150: Is Qin Fei About to Die?
The banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion in Nine Heavens City was hosted by Li Fan Yin.
As for why City Lord Li Gaitian wasn’t present to host the Qingyang Sword Sect and the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect, no one had a clue.
Li Fan Yin just told everyone that her father was in seclusion.
Only Xiao Yang knew the real reason for Li Gaitian’s absence.
No one knew that Li Gaitian was an undercover agent for the Demon Sect.
Only Xiao Yang, who had been reborn, knew Li Gaitian’s secret.
After all, Li Gaitian had lost an arm to Jiang Qitian’s Qingyang Sword at Ghost Mist Gorge, and now he was struggling just to take care of himself. He didn’t have the energy for anything else.
Even the grand event of the “Jiazi Great Competition” that happened once every sixty years in the Northern Region was beyond him.
Just after Xiao Yang sat down, a single sentence from him put all the junior disciples in a gloomy mood.
Xiao Yang was blissfully unaware of the underlying issues.
“What are you all staring at? Eat!”
At that moment, Lin Wangchuan’s voice rang out.
“Senior Brother Holy Son, this dragon liver is delicious, you should try it!”
Lin Wangchuan said as he put a piece of “dragon liver” into Xiao Yang’s bowl.
Song Qiang stood up to pour wine for Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang picked up the “dragon liver” and took a bite. It was soft, tender, and had a surprisingly nice texture.
Of course, it wasn’t real dragon liver.
Dragons are mythical creatures; even in ancient times, they were rarely seen.
This “dragon liver” was just a snake’s liver.
“Junior Sister, all senior brothers and sisters, I’m fine. Just eat and drink.”
Qin Fei forced a smile at everyone.
Inside, he was practically dying of laughter, thinking how easily these people were fooled into believing he was at death’s door.
Just some blood curse; he didn’t even bat an eye.
He had the legendary Revitalization Dan that could cure all poisons.
To everyone else, the Demon Abyss was a sacred place for cultivation.
Within the Demon Sect was a formidable healer known as Yin Jiugong, the Ghost Hole Demon Doctor.
Qin Fei’s Revitalization Dan was concocted by him.
Right now, he was just playing with everyone like monkeys.
Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei, sneering internally.
This guy is really upping his acting skills!
What trick does he have up his sleeve this time?
Xiao Yang recalled how he had been tricked countless times by Qin Fei in his previous life, every time leaving him humiliated.
But now, the tables had turned; it was Qin Fei’s turn to taste public humiliation.
At this moment, the atmosphere grew heavy.
Everyone was preoccupied with their thoughts.
Especially Lei Renjie, Zheng Fan, and Han Bin.
At this time, Han Bin had already bought the Revitalization Dan from the Dan Ding Pavilion.
As it turned out, the Revitalization Dan was indeed miraculous. After taking it, Han Bin was bouncing around in just half a day, with most of his meridians repaired.
He attended the banquet as well.
However, while Han Bin’s meridians could be repaired, regaining his cultivation was another matter entirely.
He wouldn’t be participating in this Jiazi Great Competition.
And his spot had been taken by Jiang Ting.
It’s worth noting that Jiang Ting was a martial arts master in the Heavenly Martial Realm.
With her level of cultivation, she was indeed qualified to take Han Bin’s place in the competition.
And when Han Bin and the others discovered that Qin Fei was on the brink of death, they were in for a rude awakening.
The reason they sided with Qin Fei was that they had high hopes for his cultivation physique.
Qin Fei was the Innate Dao Body, the chosen one, with an unlimited future.
By following Qin Fei, when he soared to the skies, they’d all benefit as well.
In the eyes of Zheng Fan, Han Bin, and company, Qin Fei’s cultivation physique far surpassed Xiao Yang’s, and it was only a matter of time before Qin Fei surpassed him.
No one expected Qin Fei to fall to a blood curse, his life hanging on by a thread.
They had picked the wrong side!
Picking the wrong side and offending Xiao Yang had serious consequences.
At the banquet, even with delicious dishes laid out, Zheng Fan, Han Bin, and Lei Renjie found it tasteless.
Li Fan Yin also sensed that something was off.
She knew Qin Fei was not long for this world.
But she didn’t know what to say.
At the dinner table, everyone felt oppressed.
After a meal, only Lin Wangchuan was enjoying himself.
He was simple-minded and didn’t have much to worry about.
As Xiao Yang was finishing up, he suddenly looked at Qin Fei and said, “Junior Brother, your foster parents and foster sister were captured. Shouldn’t you go rescue them?”
“What?”
Qin Fei was taken aback; he never expected Xiao Yang would bring it up in public.
Yes, this was indeed something Qin Fei was responsible for.
So what? As long as he could kill Xiao Yang, he could use anyone.
It was just some foster parents and a foster sister.
He had taken Xiao Zhenshan and his wife as foster parents just to use them against Xiao Yang, right?
Qin Fei froze for a moment and then pretended to be shocked at Xiao Yang.
“Senior Brother, is that true?”
Qin Fei acted as if he were in a panic.
Everyone was equally stunned.
Xiao Yang’s parents and sister were actually captured?
Who had the audacity to kidnap Xiao Yang’s family?
No one would have guessed that the mastermind was right in front of them—this about-to-die Qin Fei.
Xiao Yang wouldn’t expose him now.
Words were not enough; just because Xiao Yang said Qin Fei was an undercover agent for the Demon Sect, nobody would believe it without evidence.
Everything needed proof.
No evidence meant slander, defamation, accusations, and people would point fingers and criticize him. They’d call him petty, small-minded, and malicious.
Xiao Yang had faced this kind of thing many times in his previous life.
Everyone blamed him.
Everyone supported Qin Fei.
“How could this happen…”
Li Fan Yin got furious; how could someone dare to kidnap Xiao Yang’s family on her turf?
Wasn’t this a huge slap in the face?
Those people not only looked down on the Li family of Nine Heavens City but also the Shifang Qimen!
“Junior Brother, do you not believe me?”
Xiao Yang said as he took out a sound transmission jade talisman.
Qin Fei’s pupils constricted when he saw the jade talisman in Xiao Yang’s hand.
At that moment, Xiao Yang activated the sound transmission jade.
Soon, the voices of the robbers and their conversation with Xiao Yang echoed from the jade talisman.
Then came what Xiao Zhenshan and others had said.
The sound transmission jade could preserve voices.
Once Xiao Yang played back the recording, the banquet hall erupted into chaos.
Li Fan Yin and the prominent figures from Shifang Qimen were utterly humiliated.
Meanwhile, Qin Fei was feeling as gloomy as could be.
“This is absurd!”
The Transmission Elder was furious.
“Junior Brother, your foster parents and sister have treated you so well. Whenever they get good cultivation resources, you’re the first they think of. Now that they’ve been captured, shouldn’t you go save them?”
Xiao Yang looked at Qin Fei with a playful smile.
“Senior Brother, them being your own parents and sister, shouldn’t you be the one most eager to save them?”
Jiang Ting suddenly stood up and yelled at Xiao Yang.
“I never said I wouldn’t go save them! But shouldn’t Junior Brother pitch in too?”
Xiao Yang shrugged, unfazed.
“Junior Brother is unwell; he’s barely holding on himself. How can he go rescue anyone?”
Jiang Ting glared at Xiao Yang, shaking with fury.
“Junior Brother, are you unwell?”
Xiao Yang studied Qin Fei.
“Junior Brother might as well be dead!”
Jiang Ting yelled at Xiao Yang, a tear rolling down her cheek.
“What? Qin Fei is about to die?”
Xiao Yang was stunned, and the next moment, he burst out laughing.
“Ha ha… Qin Fei is going to die? What a joke!”
Xiao Yang laughed like he’d just heard the funniest joke in the world, almost to the point of tears.
What a bunch of idiots.
All of them were being played around by Qin Fei.
Can you believe they think he’s dying?
You all die; he’s still alive!
