Creation of the Universe

Chapter 218 Wait and see what happens

As soon as Shen Zhan finished speaking, a bowl was thrown to the ground.

Song Bo suddenly clutched his stomach and collapsed in agony. He uttered a few words with difficulty, "Oh no, there's something wrong with the chicken soup..."

Everyone was shocked, but fortunately, Song Bo seemed to be the only one who drank the chicken soup at the scene, and everyone else was spared thanks to Shen Zhan's obstruction.

Shen Yunli hurried to Song Bo's side and asked with concern: "Song Bo, are you okay? What happened? Why did it become like this?"

“There’s poison in the chicken soup.”

As Meng Zhong spoke, he brought out a whole pot of chicken soup from the kitchen. Although he had no means to verify whether the chicken soup was really poisonous, he could basically determine this fact based on the reaction of the spirit beast Xiaoguo.

Chu Rumeng asked Shen Zhan, "Master, what should we do with Xiaoguo? Please save him quickly."

The little guy didn't want to be lonely along the way, and always came out from time to time to see the outside world. Over time, he became familiar with everyone, especially Chu Rumeng, who liked the cute Xiaoguo very much.

At this time, Shen Zhan told Chu Rumeng, "Don't worry. Xiaoguo also accidentally ate a poisonous fruit in the Spirit Beast Forest before, but he just slept for a while and recovered on his own. So, since he is a spirit beast, he will not be poisoned so easily."

Chu Rumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Shen Zhan's confident answer.

She picked up Xiaoguo with loving care and placed it carefully on the table beside her. Xiaoguo, who had been making some noises just now, was now sleeping very quietly.

Sure enough, sleeping seems to be its way of detoxifying.

"The poison isn't very strong, it should heal after a while."

Han Fei took action in time to help Song Bo neutralize the poison and ensured that the latter would be fine, so Shen Yunli felt relieved.

Among them, Han Fei is the best when it comes to the use of poison and detoxification. He had previously practiced some unorthodox skills and methods, and the use of poison was of course one of the areas he was involved in. Therefore, people who use poison will naturally know how to detoxify.

Shen Zhan has great confidence in Han Fei's ability in this area.

Song Bo's life was not in danger, but he was weak and was soon helped to the inner room to rest.

After the false alarm, everyone began to wonder who poisoned the chicken soup. There were only them and Song Bo here, but no matter how they thought about it, there was no reason for any of them to do such a thing.

Meng Zhong spoke first, "Based on my experience in judging people, none of you would do such a thing. The trust we have in each other is unmistakable. The only one who is not on our side is Song Bo, but this is the first time he has met most of us. How could a lonely old man guarding the royal tomb have any reason to harm us?"

Moreover, he himself was poisoned, which makes it even more impossible."

Han Fei walked back after patrolling outside. "I didn't find anything unusual. I'm sure there weren't any suspicious people around here before. Unless their cultivation level was so high that I couldn't detect anything, but that's unlikely."

It is now obvious that someone wants to attack them, but there is no way to find out the identity and motive of the other party.

Shen Zhan said, "Well, the other party will reveal their true intentions sooner or later. Let's wait and see what happens. Let's stay here tonight and don't worry about anything."

After making the decision, everyone started to act separately. Shen Yunli was responsible for taking care of Song Bo, and the two sisters of the Chu family followed Meng Zhong to pick up more wood so that they could make a fire to keep warm at night, and then clean up the main hall.

Since Song Bo's residence is too small, everyone can only live in the main hall temporarily. This makes it more convenient for everyone to move around, and who knows, they might find some clues that they hadn't noticed before.

Shen Zhan and Han Fei walked around the royal tomb together to inspect it, but they still didn't find anything wrong. When Song Bo was stewing chicken soup before, no one should have approached the pot of soup. Thinking about it this way, the matter became even more terrifying.

"What? You mean, the person who poisoned us is among us?"

Han Fei looked at Shen Zhan in surprise, but the latter looked as if it was a matter of course.

"There will be no one else except Song Bo."

"But we have no evidence, and as Han Song said, what reason does Song Bo have to kill us?"

Han Fei couldn't understand what motive Song Bo had for doing such a thing. On the surface, Song Bo was also a kind and ordinary old man. Did he really have the ability to poison?

Shen Zhan said, "Precisely because it's inconspicuous, it's even more dangerous. I have no evidence and no way to verify this judgment, so I didn't tell the truth in front of so many people just now."

"What are you going to do?"

"As I said, we should wait and see. If his goal is to prevent us from approaching the secrets hidden in the royal mausoleum, then as we take action, he will definitely strike again. Wouldn't we be able to catch him red-handed then?"

"I hope your judgment is correct. I will keep an eye on him secretly!"

Han Fei chose to believe Shen Zhan's judgment. After experiencing all kinds of dangers and difficulties together, the two gradually developed a deep tacit understanding.

On the other side, in the cabin.

Shen Yunli was staying in the room to take care of Song Bo who was lying on the bed. Although the poison in the latter's body had been eliminated, his weak body could not recover quickly.

“Dong dong!!!”

There was a knock on the door. Shen Yunli got up and went to open the door, but unexpectedly, there were three unfamiliar men standing outside.

When they saw Shen Yunli, they were subconsciously stunned.

"Wow, how could this damn old man have such a beautiful woman in his house and not even tell us? This is outrageous!"

The man standing on the left among the three laughed maliciously.

One of his companions, his eyes restlessly roaming back and forth over Shen Yunli, exclaimed, "She's so tender and tender, so pure and lovely, could she be the old man's granddaughter?"

"No matter who she is, it's her blessing that we three brothers caught her today."

The last person also had a lewd look on his face.

Shen Yunli frowned and asked, "Who are you three and what are you doing here?"

"Hey, that old man in the house still owes us brothers a lot of money. If he doesn't intend to pay it back, then I'll use you as compensation!"

As he said that, the man was about to reach out and touch Shen Yunli's pink face.

Shen Yunli dodged slightly, leaving the man empty-handed. Her figure made it impossible to tell that she was moving, but she dodged the attack just in time.

"Hey, little beauty, just accompany us tonight. As long as you make us happy, you and your grandfather will naturally get along well. Otherwise, don't blame us for being too ruthless!"

Faced with the shameless threat, Shen Yunli immediately drew her sword and said in a deep voice: "Song Bo is alone and has never had any granddaughter. You have recognized the wrong person."
