Chapter 6

A martial artist at the first level of the Postnatal Realm has skin as tough as tanned leather, capable of resisting the strikes of ordinary sticks and clubs without leaving a mark.

Under the operation of internal energy, the skin is bronze.

Can lift three hundred catties of heavy objects with one arm!

"……"

Stopping the cultivation, Chen Mu calmed his breathing.

Officially becoming a martial artist, his mood was not as excited as he imagined.

Perhaps it was a matter of time?

With the ability to loot cards from corpses, becoming a martial artist was within expectations.

It's just that killing Sun Jindong still had a long way to go.

However, the Postnatal Realm had been achieved, and the Innate Realm was not far away.

……

Talking sounds came from outside the house.

Huang Feiyang was back, and Miao Xiuxiu was with him.

Chen Mu got off the bed, moved his hands and feet, and walked towards the room door with big strides.

Opened the door……

"Huzi is in the room?"

Hearing the sound, Miao Xiuxiu turned her head to look, saw Chen Mu, and smiled, "Go wash your hands quickly, you can eat."

"Okay, Sister-in-law." Chen Mu responded casually and walked outside.

Miao Xiuxiu's pretty face flushed, but she didn't stop him again, happily setting the bowls and chopsticks.

Chen Mu passed by the table, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

His nose sniffed.

The next moment, his face changed slightly, and he quickly reached out, grabbing the chopsticks from Huang Feiyang, who had just picked them up and was about to pick up food.

"Don't eat yet." Chen Mu said in a low voice.

"What are you doing?" Huang Feiyang's palm stopped in mid-air, frowning, "There's more than one pair of chopsticks, you……"

"There's poison in the food." Chen Mu said calmly.

*Teng!*

Huang Feiyang stood up abruptly, Miao Xiuxiu's face turned pale, her body swayed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at Chen Mu in disbelief.

"You…… what nonsense are you talking about!?"

Huang Feiyang's eyes widened, his eyes full of anger, he reached out tremblingly, grabbing at Chen Mu.

*Pa~*

Chen Mu raised his hand to knock it away, his face cold and stern, and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with Sister-in-law, it was someone else who added the poison after the food was cooked."

This was "Heavenly Wolf Smelling the Moon," the skill was relatively special.

It could distinguish all the seasonings in a dish, as well as the scent of the ingredients themselves.

Plus, Chen Mu was not eating Miao Xiuxiu's cooking for the first time, and he was already extremely familiar with Miao Xiuxiu's craft.

These three dishes tonight, compared to the past, all carried a faint scent that was different from the ingredients and seasonings.

And this scent was not mixed with the seasonings and ingredients, and had not been burned by high temperatures.

What does this represent?

It represents that the poison was added after the food was cooked and plated!

"You……"

Huang Feiyang was a bit dazed listening, his eyes still widened, his eyes no longer had anger, but confusion and doubt, "How do you know?"

Chen Mu ignored him, but looked at Miao Xiuxiu and asked, "Sister-in-law, you left the kitchen after cooking, right?"

"No……"

Miao Xiuxiu was also dazed, and responded subconsciously, but after saying two words, she suddenly remembered something, widened her eyes, and muttered, "I…… I did leave, when the food was cooked and I was about to put it into the basket, Aunt Chrysanthemum called me outside the door, I…… I went out to see her, and left for a while……"

"Aunt Chrysanthemum wants to kill us?" Huang Feiyang was astonished, his face full of disbelief.

"It's not her."

Chen Mu didn't change his expression, analyzing, "Aunt Chrysanthemum is just one link, calling Sister-in-law away to make it convenient for others to poison."

There was another sentence Chen Mu didn't say.

Aunt Chrysanthemum couldn't afford this kind of colorless, very faint-tasting poison, and she had no channels to buy it!

"Then…… then who is it?" Huang Feiyang forced himself to calm down.

"This has to be found by going to Aunt Chrysanthemum, the clue is with her."

Saying that, Chen Mu packed the three dishes on the table back into the basket, carried them in his hand, walked outside, and said, "By the way, test how violent the toxicity of this poison is."

Test the poison?

How to test?

Huang Feiyang was puzzled and followed behind.

Miao Xiuxiu, who was in a mess, followed instinctively.

The three left the courtyard.

Chen Mu led the way, heading straight for the place where Aunt Chrysanthemum lived.

But when passing by the door of a dilapidated house, he stopped and poured all three dishes from the basket into the corner.

"……"

Huang Feiyang and Miao Xiuxiu each opened their mouths, but said nothing.

Having already walked here, and the food was poured, saying anything else was useless.

In silence, the two followed Chen Mu and left, walked a little further, and stopped.

Standing under an eave, looking across at a skinny stray dog emerging from a corner of the dilapidated house.

The stray dog first looked left and right, vigilantly surveying the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no ambush nearby, it rushed to the corner and wolfed down the food.

As a result, before it finished eating half, it suddenly whimpered, fell to the ground, its limbs shook, its whole body convulsed, and black blood flowed from its mouth, nose, eyes, and ears!

"Ugh~!"

Miao Xiuxiu covered her mouth, her whole body shaking, her legs went soft, and she was about to fall, Huang Feiyang hurriedly hugged her.

It's just that even he didn't notice that his lips and hands were shaking.

It's true!

Before the stray dog fell to the ground, Huang Feiyang still held a glimmer of luck in his heart, feeling that Chen Mu had been stimulated by something, leading to suspicion and doubt.

However, at this moment, watching the stray dog eat the food and die soon after, still dying by vomiting black blood from seven orifices, there was no more luck, doubt, or dissatisfaction.

Replacing it was lingering fear!

"Hu…… Hu……"

"We'll talk about the rest when we go back." Chen Mu raised his hand to interrupt, "Now go see Aunt Chrysanthemum first."

"Right, right…… *Gulp*"

Huang Feiyang swallowed, gritted his teeth and said, "Go see Aunt Chrysanthemum!"

Miao Xiuxiu said nothing, only tears kept falling.

Thinking that she had almost killed Huang Feiyang and Chen Mu, her heart ached, and she couldn't breathe.

Chen Mu saw it, but said nothing.

This kind of thing, only when the person involved supports themselves, can they recover.

……

On the way, no one spoke.

Soon, they arrived at Aunt Chrysanthemum's residence.

*Peng~*

Huang Feiyang kicked open the closed door directly and shouted in a low voice, "Chen Chrysanthemum, get out here!"

"……Da…… Da Hu?" In the house, Aunt Chrysanthemum's husband, who was startled, saw who it was, hurriedly accompanied with a smiling face, walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Da…… Hu Brother?"

Huang Feiyang ignored him, his ruthless gaze fixed on Aunt Chrysanthemum, who was standing by the stove with her head lowered.

"Chrysanthemum! Aunt!"

Huang Feiyang gritted his teeth word by word, "I don't think I've ever treated you badly……"

*Plop~*

Before Huang Feiyang could finish speaking, Aunt Chrysanthemum's legs went soft, she knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, "I didn't mean to, I was just momentarily possessed by a ghost."

"It was Er Gouzi! He gave me a big coin and asked me to find Xiuxiu to talk."

"Other things, I don't know, I really don't know anything!"

While shouting, she tremblingly took out a big coin from her pocket and handed it out tremblingly, "It…… it's this……"

Huang Feiyang, "……"

Miao Xiuxiu, "……"

Aunt Chrysanthemum's husband was also a bit dazed.

Not many words, but the information revealed was not small.

All three were shocked.

Only Chen Mu remained clear-headed, pulled Huang Feiyang, and turned to walk outside.

"I'm going to find Er Gou."

"……I'll go with you." Huang Feiyang came back to his senses, immediately followed, and pulled Miao Xiuxiu, saying while walking, "Xiuxiu, you go to Lili's house first…… No, you go to Lili's house first! Before I come back, don't go home, including my place, don't go over."

"Good…… good." Miao Xiuxiu was in a mess, responding instinctively.

After speaking, she reacted and said in a trembling voice, "You…… you guys also be careful."

"We definitely will." Huang Feiyang forced a smile and waved at Miao Xiuxiu.

Then, he walked away with big strides.

……

Er Gouzi, whose full name is Wang Er Gou, is one of the famous rascals in Changping Ward, doing nothing all day, either stealing a bit here or touching a bit there.

Chen Mu and Huang Feiyang didn't spend much time finding him.

Wang Er Gou saw the two from a distance, was also startled, and actually turned and ran away directly.

This run, the anger accumulated in Huang Feiyang's chest suddenly exploded.

Immediately, he roared and chased out fiercely.

Wang Er Gou only ran for a little over a hundred meters before being caught up and falling into the corner of a small alley.

Holding his head, while enduring Huang Feiyang's kicks and beatings, he shouted, "It was Leopard Brother who asked me to do it! I don't know anything, it was all Leopard Brother who asked me to do it!"

Huang Feiyang, "……"

There was no need for torture, he only took a few kicks and confessed everything.

But it's understandable, just a rascal, how much loyalty can you expect from him?

"Leopard Brother?"

Chen Mu pulled Huang Feiyang away, squatted down, looked at Wang Er Gou, and said softly, "Are you talking about Liu Bao?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Er Gou nodded busily, "It's him! It's him! Tiger Brother, Er Huzi Brother, I really don't know anything, I just followed Leopard Brother's order to let Chen Chrysanthemum call people at Miao Xiuxiu's door. Other…… other things, I really don't know!"

By the end, Wang Er Gou's voice had already carried a crying tone.

Huang Feiyang ignored him, his body retreated, swayed twice, his eyes dazed.

Chen Mu stood up, glanced at Huang Feiyang, said nothing, and turned to leave.

The person who poisoned was Liu Bao!

And Liu Bao was one of Xing Yong's confidants.

Case solved!

The person who ordered the poisoning was none other than Xing Yong!!
