Chapter 54: The Whole Family Is Poisoned

Just then, Su Nuan Yue's voice came.

"Everyone has already arrived."

She hooked her arm around Qin Yang's and walked in.

Upon seeing Qin Yang, Su Elder's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed delightedly: "You must be Qin Yang, indeed a remarkable talent; come quickly so Grandfather can take a good look."

Qin Yang walked over, a smile on his face.

"Hello, Grandfather."

Qin Yang greeted him.

"Good, good, this child looks fine, not an ordinary person; with Nuan Yue by your side, I can rest easy."

Su Elder, looking excited, took Qin Yang's hand, his face full of smiles.

Qin Yang, however, furrowed his brow.

He unnoticeably sent a stream of true qi into Su Elder's body, immediately sensing something amiss.

The elder had been poisoned.

This toxin is chronic, not at all potent; it merely makes the body gradually deteriorate, eventually leading to death.

Even if a doctor examined him, they would find nothing amiss, only considering it a normal death.

Seeing Qin Yang staring at him, Su Elder grew puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Grandfather has been poisoned."

Qin Yang said directly.

"What?"

Everyone was startled.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Grandfather's health is fine—how could he be poisoned?" Su Yulong stood up, saying coldly.

At this moment, Su Qiang also said disdainfully: "As expected, a country bumpkin—just spouting nonsense, seeking attention; you were kicked out of the Qin Family for this very reason, weren't you?"

Qin Yang said nothing, his gaze sweeping over everyone, then he said: "Everyone here has been poisoned, except you—you must be the one who poisoned them, right?"

Hearing Qin Yang's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

They looked at Qin Yang with suspicion and doubt, wondering if he was spouting nonsense.

Su Nuan Yue also looked at Qin Yang with doubt.

"Qin Yang, what exactly is going on? Grandfather trusts you—please explain in detail."

Su Elder said in a low voice.

If only he himself were poisoned, the matter would be easy to explain.

It would indicate someone wants to harm him to achieve some goal.

But if the whole family is poisoned, that's different.

This indicates someone wants to kill the entire family.

And since Su Qiang wasn't poisoned, the ultimate result would be that everyone in the family dies, leaving the Su Family to her.

Su Elder doted greatly on this little daughter.

He didn't really believe Su Qiang would do such a thing.

"This poison is extremely sophisticated, called the Girl."

"Girl?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"A girl of sixteen, her body like silk, secretly causing the lord's marrow to wither."

Qin Yang said.

"If taken over a long time, this toxin will gradually drain one's life; after three years of consumption, death is certain, and the victim will appear merely ill, wasting away like a lamp whose oil has run out."

"How could that be?"

Everyone's faces turned pale.

"You're spouting nonsense; how could I poison my own family?"

Su Qiang shouted angrily.

"Yeah, don't spread alarmist rumors, stop spouting nonsense—Aunt isn't like that." Su Yulong said.

Qin Yang smiled and said: "This is simple; you just need to find a skilled Chinese medicine doctor to come verify it. Without knowing, they'd struggle to diagnose this toxin, but if you tell them, they can prove it."

"No, Dad, Brother, don't listen to his nonsense; how could a country bumpkin junior possibly understand medicine?"

Su Nuan Yue said: "My legs were truly disabled back then; I thought I'd never stand again, but Qin Yang healed me—his medical skill is superb."

Hearing Su Nuan Yue's words, everyone was startled.

They had thought Su Nuan Yue was feigning disability.

Now it's clear it's not a pretense at all; Qin Yang acted and healed her.

At this moment, Su Elder also realized, and immediately said: "Someone, summon Master Zhang."

"Dad, you don't even believe me?"

Su Qiang wore an expression of disbelief, looking heartbroken.

Seeing her like that, everyone felt perhaps the matter wasn't true, and that they had wronged her.

Thinking of this, they felt somewhat guilty.

Because suspecting family members based on an outsider's words was indeed excessive.

"If you invite someone to examine, you could prove your innocence; if you didn't poison them, why stop people from coming?" Qin Yang asked coldly.

Only then did everyone realize something was off.

Su Elder gave Su Qiang a deep look and said: "Go fetch Master Zhang."

Su Qiang's body went limp, and she sat on the chair.

Seeing this, everyone knew what was going on.

Su Zhongtian exclaimed in disbelief, "Sister, how could you do that?"

Su Qiang remained silent, still harboring a sliver of hope in her heart.

Soon, Master Zhang arrived.

Upon seeing Qin Yang, Master Zhang was startled.

He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Grand-disciple Zhang Xin pays his respects to the Grandmaster."

What?

Everyone was stunned.

Grandmaster?

Zhang Xin actually called Qin Yang Grandmaster?

You should know that Zhang Xin is the Divine Physician of Hai Jiang Province, and even throughout Long Guo he enjoys great fame, belonging to the top tier of Chinese medicine practitioners.

He actually knelt before Qin Yang and addressed him as Grandmaster.

Everyone felt that their worldview had been somewhat overturned.

"Get up, let me show you whether they've been poisoned—the poison is called Maiden."

Qin Yang pointed at the crowd and said.

Zhang Xin couldn't help but wryly smile and said, "Grandmaster, with you here, I need not show off my skills—surely you can tell at a glance whether they're poisoned."

"They don't believe me."

Qin Yang said.

Zhang Xin was somewhat speechless, his expression a bit cold, as he said to Old Master Su, "Old brother, my Grandmaster's medical skill exceeds mine by a hundredfold; since he said it, it must be true—no need to doubt."

Hearing Zhang Xin's words, Old Master Su couldn't help but ask, "Old Brother Zhang, why do you call Qin Yang Grandmaster?"

"My master, the Needle Saint Fang Wendao, is a nominal disciple of the Grandmaster; to be able to call him Grandmaster is already a great honor for us."

Zhang Xin said.

Needle Saint Fang Wendao?

One of the strongest medical practitioners in all of Long Guo.

Someone of such stature that even Old Master Su might not necessarily be able to see him.

And Qin Yang is actually the master of the Needle Saint, merely letting him be a nominal disciple—simply unbelievable.

Had these words not come from Zhang Xin's mouth, they would absolutely not believe them.

But Zhang Xin would never joke about his own master.

"You simply don't understand how formidable the Grandmaster is—he is……"

"Enough, stop bragging."

Qin Yang cut off Zhang Xin's words, telling him to shut up.

Zhang Xin gave an embarrassed laugh, only then realizing that the Grandmaster is an extremely low-key person.

He promptly closed his mouth.

Everyone in the Su family felt a great curiosity: just what kind of person is Qin Yang?
