235 A Trap
“Poison… Could it be that you want to attack me?” Qin Huai had a strange expression on his face.
Wasn’t using poison against him a little too stupid?
He looked at the time. He carried Silver Fox and walked out of the courtyard with all kinds of poisonous creatures on his body.
The Nine Dragons sect was actually quite well-equipped. In the middle of the night, there would be singing and dancing disciples chatting and playing in the open space.
There were also people who lit fires and set up the game that they had hunted during the day. The fragrance filled the air.
Qin Huai walked through the peaceful streets and people and slowly ascended the Green Feather Tower.
Squeak~
He pushed open the door.
Inside the brightly lit room, the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect were drinking happily in front of the table, while the two servants were lying on the counter, their eyelids twitching.
He looked around but did not find Zhang Haoyue or Li Buchang.
Dong dong dong…
Qin Huai knocked on the table. “Where is the table Senior Brother Haoyue reserved?”
The servant immediately quivered and rubbed his eyes as he looked at Qin Huai.
“Senior Brother Qin is here!”
The servant was all smiles and immediately began to flip through the account book. All the tables in the Green Feather Tower were reserved, and the names of the guests were clearly written on each table.
“The top floor… Senior Brother Haoyue has booked the entire rooftop today, so you can just go up there. Senior Brother Li Buchang is already waiting upstairs.” The servant looked at Qin Huai obsequiously.
“Thank you very much.” Qin Huai nodded and headed upstairs.
As he turned the corner of the spiral wooden stairs, Qin Huai saw a slender young man standing by the window.
“Senior Brother Buchang.” Qin Huai cupped his hands respectfully.
“Humph! You’re really fast.” Li Buchang turned around and glared at Qin Huai coldly. He did not hide the sarcasm in his words.
Qin Huai frowned slightly. “Senior Brother, there might be a misunderstanding somewhere. I came on time.”
He had even arrived half an hour earlier to show his sincerity. However, from Li Buchang’s tone, he had been here for quite a long time. What was Zhang Haoyue trying to do?
Qin Huai frowned slightly. Zhang Haoyue had personally told him the time, so there shouldn’t be a mistake.
“Where’s Senior Brother Haoyue?” Qin Huai looked around but couldn’t find Zhang Haoyue.
“Eldest Senior Brother went back to get some wine. He will be back in a while.” Li Buchang’s voice was stiff.
“Hehe… I’ve been in the Nine Dragons sect for a long time, but this is the first time I’m meeting Senior Brother Buchang. I wonder if Senior Brother Buchang can tell me what I’ve done to offend you?”
Qin Huai’s voice was calm, and there was a smile on his face. He didn’t change because of Li Buchang’s cold and stern expression.
As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling person. That was why Li Buchang often saw Qin Huai’s amiable expression.
Li Buchang couldn’t continue to flare up, so he slowly said, “I heard from Father that not long after you married into the Li family, you used your relationship with Sister Shaoxiang to provoke the Zhang family time and time again.
“You even tried to sow discord between Fourth Uncle and First Uncle, causing the originally gentle first branch to become at odds with the Zhang family.
“That’s why Zhang Dagen was forced to fight against Fourth Uncle’s lineage, causing many Li family disciples to die tragically. The relationship between the Zhang and Li families also rapidly deteriorated… Now, why did such a thing happen?”
Qin Huai was stunned when he heard Li Buchang’s words. Was this something he did?
He had provoked the Zhang family time and time again, and Zhang Dagen was forced to make a move. That Sixth Uncle was really bold.
“Does Sixth Uncle know his surname?” Qin Huai couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
Bang!
“What do you mean?” Li Buchang’s gaze suddenly became sharp.
“I think you can listen to Sixth Uncle’s words in reverse. That is the correct truth.”
“Are you saying that my father would lie to me, his biological son, and slander the Li family?” Li Buchang was so angry that he laughed. “Do you believe that? Preposterous, this is simply too preposterous.”
Qin Huai was speechless, but the truth was just that ridiculous. That sixth uncle was probably already very servile, even more so than the third and fifth branches.
“Qin Huai, I thought you would realize your mistake… I didn’t expect you to use such a ridiculous reason to brush me off. Trying to twist black and white?”
Li Buchang’s voice suddenly became louder. Even the laughter downstairs seemed to have stopped.
Everyone perked up their ears to listen to the argument between Qin Huai and his wife upstairs.
“I…” Qin Huai opened his mouth.
But Li Buchang’s face turned pale. The next moment, his eyes revealed a hint of fear. “You… How dare you poison me?”
Boom!
Li Buchang suddenly threw a palm strike at Qin Huai. The terrifying palm wind directly shattered the entire table into two halves.
“Don’t move. Let me detoxify you!”
Qin Huai’s heart thumped. How could he not know that he had fallen into Zhang Haoyue’s trap?
However, at this moment, how could Li Buchang believe Qin Huai? The white dragons in his hands were all unleashed, and the violent waves directly hit Qin Huai’s face.
The surrounding tables and chairs were all shattered, and even the four walls of the pavilion were shattered by Li Buchang.
The destructive power of a crazed ninth refinement martial artist was shocking.
A white light flashed in Qin Huai’s eyes.
But before the terrifying power could break out of his body, Li Buchang spat out a mouthful of black blood.
All the waves caused by the white dragons stopped abruptly.
“Qin… Qin Huai…” Li Buchang’s eyes were about to pop out as he glared at Qin Huai.
Two streaks of black blood dripped down from the corner of Li Buchang’s eyes. With a thud, he completely lost his breath.
“Brother Qin, Brother Buchang, the wine is here…”
At the stairs, Zhang Haoyue went up to the top floor with a warm smile. When he saw the scene in front of him, the smile on his face stopped.
Bang!
The two jars of good wine in his hands fell off and smashed into pieces on the ground.
