My game even includes ancient times

After sitting there for a while, the abdominal pain did not subside at all.

Zhong Heshan tried to circulate his internal energy to dispel the pain, but unexpectedly, the pain seemed to be catalyzed and suddenly intensified, making his face turn pale.

At the same time, feeling an increasingly strong urge, Zhong Heshan's body hair stood on end, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

Barely maintaining his composure, Zhong Heshan stood up from his seat and walked slowly towards the exit of the hall.

Along the way, people kept trying to talk to him. In order not to give himself away, Zhong Heshan could only do his best to control himself and force a smile to exchange a few pleasantries with them.

He found this short stretch of road extremely difficult to traverse.

As they were finally about to reach the door, with hope within reach, Zhong Heshan's clenched teeth relaxed slightly, and a light seemed to appear in his eyes.

Even though he was still some distance away, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and push the door open as soon as he could reach it.

"Sect Leader Zhong! I'd like to offer you a toast—"

A dark figure suddenly appeared from the side and stood straight in front of Zhong Heshan's outstretched hand, with a warm and polite smile on his face.

"puff--"

A sudden, low, and discreet sound interrupted his words, followed by a familiar yet indescribable scent that permeated the small area near the doorway.

Zhong Heshan's face was frighteningly dark. His eyes flashed as he stared at the man blocking his way, his teeth practically grinding to powder: "Get lost!"

The man saw the blatant killing intent in the other person's eyes and froze in fear.

He swallowed hard, quickly turned around, stepping on his left foot and then his right, to make way for the other person.

Zhong Heshan pounced on the door almost instantly, then vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

A gust of cold wind blew into the lobby through the open door, and the stagnant air began to move.

"Huh, why does it suddenly smell so bad? Did someone eat something wrong?"

A man with a small mustache frowned, fanned his nose with his hand, and looked toward the source of the stench.

"Old Zhang? But you..."

The man called Old Zhang stood frozen in the stench, his expression almost tearful, choking out, "It...it was me who put it there..."

Recalling the murderous look on Sect Leader Zhong's face, the man felt as if he were about to split open.

Good heavens, he was just here to offer a toast and flatter them!

So many people toasted him before, why him of all people...?

The man covered his face, slunk back to his seat, and waited anxiously for Zhong Heshan to return.

I wonder how they'll punish me. I can't really kill them to silence them...

woo woo woo...

Zhong Heshan left and did not return for a long time.

He Yu, who had been hiding in the corner, witnessed everything that happened.

She raised the corners of her mouth smugly and glanced down at the small medicine bottle in her hand.

['Powerful Laxative': Even those with iron stomachs cannot be immune to its destructive effects (circulating internal energy will catalyze the drug's properties; the deeper the internal energy, the stronger the effect).]

[Buyback Price: 2 Silver]

This [Powerful Laxative] is an item that appeared on the shelves after the last [General Store] refresh.

Having played the game for so long, this was the first time He Yu had ever seen such an unethical item, and he bought it on the spot without hesitation.

I never expected it to come in handy today.

Thinking of Zhong Heshan's angry and embarrassed expression just now, He Yu felt a sense of relief.

Live it!

Damn it, I can't believe that even in ancient times, there are still idiots who try to get people to drink like that, saying "If you don't drink, you're disrespecting me."

Chu Yunsi clearly stated that she couldn't drink it because she would have an allergic reaction, but Lao Deng still forced her to drink it.

Afterwards, he even pretended to be all high and mighty, saying something like, "I never expected that she really couldn't touch a drop of alcohol."

They've already thrown the words in your face, and you still have the nerve to pretend you didn't hear them.

Old Deng is in for a rough time now. He Yu's dosage was a bit too strong; he estimates he'll be having diarrhea until the wee hours of the morning.

He Yu happily put away the bottle and walked over to He Shi and the other two who were sitting quietly.

They had been secretly watching Zhong Heshan's every move, and naturally they had also noticed his inexplicable behavior.

They were sitting quite far from the gate, so they didn't smell the stench and had no idea what had happened.

Bai Yu tapped He Shi's arm and leaned close to his ear: "Hey, little stone, look at Zhong Heshan, doesn't he look a bit like he's been poisoned?"

He Shi tilted his head, looking at Zhong Heshan's back, his gaze falling on the other's tightly clenched legs, and said in a puzzled tone, "It doesn't seem like it..."

Chu He suddenly raised his head and said something astonishing without any expression: "He has diarrhea, and it seems like he... had it in his pants just now."

What? ? ?

Bai Yushen and He Shi both opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Bai Yushen lowered his voice and leaned closer to Chu He: "No way! How did you know?"

Chu He gestured for him to look at the expressions of the people around the door, and then said, "Look at that elder from the Fire Blade Sect. Just now, he was the one who was talking to Zhong Heshan at the door. After Zhong Heshan told him to leave, he looked like he had lost his parents and sat there with no will to live."

"The Fire Blade Sect is a vassal sect of the Heyang Sect, and they pay a lot of tribute to the Heyang Sect every year. If they hadn't really angered Zhong Heshan, he wouldn't have reprimanded the Fire Blade Sect members so casually."

"Combined with the actions of the group of people at the door covering their noses and fanning themselves, we can deduce that Zhong Heshan was in a hurry to go out to find a toilet, was stopped by someone, and in his haste, he accidentally did *that*, which is why he became angry and cursed at them."

Bai Yushen and He Shi nodded with expressions of sudden realization, their eyes brimming with barely suppressed laughter.

Bai Yushen suppressed his laughter: "It's truly a blessing from heaven that he got an upset stomach and was embarrassed in public. For such a face-conscious senior, this must be worse than being stabbed."

Chu He picked up his cup and drank some water, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Only He Shi lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head and calmly surveyed the entire hall.

Just as he was turning his gaze away in disappointment, an unseen hand gently rested on his shoulder and patted him reassuringly.

He Shi was taken aback, and quickly lowered his eyelashes to hide the surprise that appeared in his eyes. While drinking water, he used the cup and his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were turning up.

She really is the older sister.

She must have disapproved of Zhong Heshan's behavior, which is why she gave him a small punishment to teach him a lesson.

Chu He noticed the change in He Shi's emotions, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Could it be——

Was it that mysterious senior who made the move?

To avenge He Shi, he secretly put a laxative in Zhong Heshan's wine.

What amazing skill! To be able to drug a renowned veteran like Zhong Heshan right in front of everyone.

In that instant, in Chu He's mind, the mysterious woman's imposing figure grew even taller, almost catching up with Chu Zheng.

Bai Yushen chuckled, resting his chin on his hand, thinking that he would go find his senior sister after the banquet and share this delightful story with her.
