Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

After hearing A-Fei's words, Nangong Ling exclaimed:

"The methods of the 'Five Poison Boys of Blissful Cave' are truly unpredictable and mysterious!"

His expression suddenly hardened, and he questioned:

"How did you figure out the food was poisonous?"

Ah Fei smiled and said:

"Never mind how I figured it out, I figured it out anyway."

Nangong Ling clearly did not believe Afei's explanation, and he looked at Afei suspiciously.

But Ah Fei no longer intended to pay attention to him.

Chu Liuxiang smiled; he didn't seem to mind what A Fei said.

He touched his nose and said:

"Everyone has secrets. If our secrets were learned by others, we would be dead by now."

Chu Liuxiang was speaking up for A Fei.

But he didn't see that Nangong Ling's face turned extremely ugly for a moment.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

Xinmei, standing beside him, stared at Afei for a long while before slowly saying:

We ate whatever he ate along the way.

Xinmei was clearly no match for the 'Five Poison Child's' all-pervasive poisoning techniques.

Ah Fei chuckled to himself, thinking that the more skilled the old monk became, the more timid he seemed.

They actually want me to be the one to test the poison? When we encounter an enemy, will they have to hide behind me?

We've only been gone for less than a day, and there's still a long way to go from here to the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

Even by horse-drawn carriage, it would still take at least ten days.

During these ten days, we must be on guard against the "Five Poisons Child" at all times.

Aside from themselves, everyone was already feeling insecure.

It is because everyone in the martial arts world knows that the "Five Poisons Child," who is the "Master of the Paradise Cave," will not stop until he succeeds in killing someone once he has made up his mind.

There is absolutely no one and nothing in the world that could make him give up halfway.

The next day, the old monk Xinmei entrusted the body of his last disciple to the innkeeper.

After he paid a considerable sum of money, the shopkeeper reluctantly agreed to help him transport the body to the nearest temple.

Xinmei wrote a letter and also explained the location of the other three corpses, which she then asked the innkeeper to take to the temple.

After arranging everything, the four of them hired a carriage again and hurriedly set off.

After a night of recuperation, Afei still looked listless and sickly.

Xinmei and Nangong Ling have already cleared most of the toxins from their bodies.

Throughout the journey, the two of them did not mention the words "eating and drinking" again.

Only Chu Liuxiang kept saying that he hoped his next place of lodging would have good wine to drink.

Ah Fei teased Chu Liuxiang, saying:

"Brother Chu, aren't you afraid the 'Five Poison Boys' might poison your wine?"

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and laughed heartily as he said:

"If I can drink alcohol, it would be worth it even if I were poisoned."

"Now I'm just hoping that the 'Five Poisons Child' will have a better taste in wine, so that at least I can drink some good wine before I die."

The two men chatted and laughed, which ironically aroused the driver's cravings.

Everyone in this car was skilled in martial arts, so missing a meal or two wouldn't be a big deal for them.

But the driver was just an ordinary person, and he was unwilling to go hungry with them.

It was almost noon when the carriage arrived at a small town.

The driver left Ah Fei and the other three on the cart and went off to eat and drink by himself.

Chu Liuxiang had already brought the wine and gestured to Nangong Ling.

Nangong Ling shook her head.

He certainly didn't want to be poisoned by excessive drinking.

The four of them sat in the car, waiting for the driver to finish eating and drinking and come back.

After a while, the driver returned.

He scooped up a few steamed buns in his shirt and walked over, munching on them as he went, seemingly enjoying them immensely.

Nangong Ling stared at his face, watching very carefully, clearly observing whether the driver's face had turned ashen.

He suddenly said:

"How much are these steamed buns?"

The driver laughed:

"It's very cheap, and tastes good too. Would you like to try some, sir?"

Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment, then thought for a while and said:

"Okay, you divide us up, and I'll treat you to drinks tonight."

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately handed over all the steamed buns and then set off with the cart.

Nangong Ling took the steamed bun but didn't eat it immediately. He held it in his hand and listened carefully.

After waiting for a while, the carriage had gone quite a distance, and the driver did not show any unusual behavior.

Nangong Ling was slightly relieved. He smiled and handed the steamed buns to Chu Liuxiang and Monk Xinmei.

"There's no poison in this steamed bun, Brother Chu, Master, please enjoy it."

Chu Liuxiang didn't refuse at all, took the steamed bun and ate it with the wine.

Xinmei did not take the steamed bun that was handed to her.

He hesitated for a moment, then held Nangong Ling's hand holding the steamed bun in front of A Fei and slowly said:

"Please, sir."

Ah Fei chuckled, his heart filled with contempt for the two of them.

These two people were poisoned only twice, and they became terrified.

It seems like they're being considerate of each other, but actually they're just afraid of eating a poisoned bun and dying from it.

Ah Fei mocked the two of them, saying:

"I never expected you two to be so polite to me now."

As he spoke, he picked up a steamed bun.

He looked at the steamed bun, but fell silent.

After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"This steamed bun..."

He had only spoken halfway when a scream suddenly rang out.

The scream came from Chu Liuxiang, who was convulsing and had his eyes rolled back.

Nangong Ling was suddenly shocked, and the remaining steamed bun in her hand fell to the floor.

Even Xinmei felt a chill creep up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Afei paused, looking at Chu Liuxiang.

What is this thing going to do?

When Chu Liuxiang took the steamed bun, he, who was sitting closest to him, had already recognized it.

Chu Liuxiang's steamed bun was not poisoned.

How could eating a non-poisonous steamed bun cause poisoning? Chu Liuxiang must be faking it.

Afei's eyes flickered as he stole glances at Xinmei and Nangong Ling, who were startled.

Then, he chuckled and poked Chu Liuxiang's ribs hard with one finger, saying:

"Brother Chu, you died a terrible death! You were poisoned by a non-poisonous steamed bun."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't stand being poked and burst into laughter.

Of everyone on the bus, only Afei realized he was joking.

He grew increasingly fond of his young brother, Afei.

After hearing A Fei's words and seeing Chu Liuxiang's appearance, Nangong Ling realized that Chu Liuxiang was not poisoned.

His face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice:

"Brother Chu, don't joke around, this is not funny."

Chu Liuxiang straightened his hair and clothes, and looked at Nangong Ling and Xinmei, saying:

"Brother Fei is absolutely right. You two are so boring. If you keep going like this, won't you die of boredom?"

Nangong Ling gave a light snort and asked A Fei:

"You already realized that Brother Chu wasn't poisoned?"

Ah Fei held the steamed bun in his hand to his mouth and said:

"That's right, his steamed buns weren't poisoned."

As he spoke, he took a bite, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Nangong Ling saw him eating steamed buns, clenched her fists, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged.

Xinmei felt relieved, picked up the steamed bun, and blew on it.

Seeing that Xinmei and Nangong Ling also wanted to eat, Afei chuckled and said:

"The rest of the steamed buns are inedible."

Xinmei paused, frowned, and said:

"But the driver was fine after eating it, Xiang Shuai was fine after eating it, and Tan Yue also ate it."

This means that you all ate it and were fine, so why are you saying that others can't eat it?

Ah Fei smiled and said:

"It seems that the 'Five Poison Children' didn't want to poison us."

Even as he said this, he kept eating.

But actually, his steamed buns were poisonous.
