Chapter 580: My Lord, Think Thrice

"The Hua Family's poison? How did the strange poison of your Hua Family spread to the outside world?"

Quietly watching Hua Wuyi across from him, Shen Yu did not speak, yet his Mental Power had long since been released, probing the other party thoroughly.

Being looked at by Shen Yu's gaze, Hua Wuyi kept his body hunched and his face remained respectful, but his heart was already incredibly tense.

In front of this Lord Shen, a feeling like needles pricking his back assaulted his entire body, and even the surrounding air felt stifling and suffocating. It was as if, in the next moment, he would be killed by that terrifying aura.

"My Lord, this poison was originally a secret treasure of my Hua Family; because its toxicity is too fierce and strange, it has always been sealed away."

"I never expected that a traitor would collude with Mu Qingkuang to steal it and use it to harm you, My Lord. It is my Hua Family's fault!"

After explaining to Shen Yu, the more Hua Wuyi explained, the quieter his voice became; no matter how one looked at it, his explanation seemed somewhat forced.

Since it was a strange poison of the Hua Family, it would surely be carefully guarded; how could it be obtained by someone so easily?

Moreover, after it was obtained, it could be quickly discovered by the Hua Family, and they could even follow the trail to find out that it was used to poison Shen Yu.

It was understandable that the theft of the medicine was discovered by their Hua Family, but the person who took action was Mu Qingkuang, the World's Number One Assassin; how could he be a mere empty name?

How could they have so easily let their Hua Family discover the trail, and subsequently know that this poison was used to deal with Shen Yu?

Yet the facts were just so; all along the way, he had only been anxious to retrieve this strange poison, completely ignoring that he had followed the trail too easily.

Discovering that the person behind it was Mu Qingkuang, discovering that Mu Qingkuang was targeting Shen Yu, and then he knew that this poison had already been administered and had even been discovered by Shen Yu.

Knowing this, Hua Wuyi rushed in without a second thought to explain for the Hua Family, but he completely ignored that his journey had been too easy, as if he were being led by the nose.

Jianghu rumors say that Shen Yu is not someone easy to talk to. Once he flies into a rage, even the dignified Hua Family would only face destruction.

In an instant, Hua Wuyi broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Mu Qingkuang's target was not Shen Yu at all, but the Hua Family?

Or rather, did he want the Hua Family and Shen Yu to suffer mutual destruction so he could profit from it?

"My Lord, My Lord!" Just at this moment, Liang Ruyue ran in, panting for breath.

Without time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Liang Ruyue hurriedly said, "My Lord, it has been investigated; this poison comes from the Hua Family of Xichuan, and the ones who poisoned you are people from the Hua Family!"

"These two Hua Family members thought that as long as they took poison and committed suicide, this subordinate wouldn't be able to find out where they came from. Hmph, trying to hide their petty tricks from my eyes? Do they even know who I am?"

"By the way, My Lord, we also obtained this!" As he spoke, Liang Ruyue handed the item in his hand to Shen Yu, while also glancing at Hua Wuyi standing beside Shen Yu.

Oh my, a strange pretty boy; how come I haven't seen him before?

Flipping through the item he had received, Shen Yu asked, "What is this?"

"My Lord, this is evidence of the Hua Family secretly poisoning and killing people, as well as correspondence letters regarding their cooperation with assassin organizations to provide poison and hidden weapons for exorbitant profits, or to eliminate rivals."

"These two people burned these with a fire before committing suicide, but they didn't burn them clean; besides, even with paper ash, traces will still remain on it."

"As long as this paper ash isn't completely pulverized and the traces on the entire sheet of paper destroyed, my Black-Clad Guard has a way to restore it."

"Therefore, I had my men restore these correspondence letters and obtained these. My Lord, this subordinate has looked through them; the matters on here all seem to have traces to follow."

While speaking, Liang Ruyue also analyzed, "My Lord, looking at it this way, this Hua Family does not seem to be as they appear on the surface."

"These might only be a small part of the many things the Hua Family has done in secret; judging from a small part, in this subordinate's view, the Hua Family likely has major problems!"

"Nonsense!"

Hearing Liang Ruyue's words, Hua Wuyi on the side immediately retorted, "The Hua Family is a prestigious family of the Jianghu; how could they do such things? These must be someone framing us!"

"Someone wants to stir up a conflict between you, My Lord, and the Hua Family, wanting the Hua Family and you to suffer mutual destruction."

Speaking to this point, Hua Wuyi continued to say loudly to Shen Yu, "My Lord, you must not fall for these people's tricks!"

"Mutual destruction? You overestimate the Hua Family too much!"

With a disdainful smile, Liang Ruyue chuckled and said, "Young man, you probably don't know how powerful the Lord is; you still want the Hua Family and the Lord to suffer mutual destruction? What are you thinking?"

"My Lord, the Feng Family's reputation was even higher than the Hua Family's, but what was the result? They were still sanctimonious. The crimes committed by the Feng Family are not worth redeeming even if they died a hundred times!"

"In this subordinate's view, who knows what such so-called prestigious families are like behind the scenes. This subordinate requests that you, My Lord, thoroughly investigate the Hua Family!"

"My Lord, this action must absolutely not be taken. The Hua Family has always governed the family strictly. I admit that in such a large family as the Hua Family, it might be inevitable that one or two scoundrels appear, but the entire Hua Family will absolutely not be like this!"

"Once you, My Lord, thoroughly investigate the Hua Family with great fanfare, I fear it will provoke the hostility of the entire Hua Family. I beg you, My Lord, to think thrice!"

"Who are you!" This guy is deliberately arguing with him, right? If it weren't for the fact that you are here with Lord Shen and I don't know what kind of relationship you two have, would you believe I'd slap you across the face?

These pretty boys, none of them are good things; if it weren't for the fact that all the pretty young ladies were snatched away by you lot, would we men have remained single until now?

Seeing such a face just makes one feel angry. Of course, Lord Shen is absolutely an exception; people like him are popular because of real ability.

"My Lord, I wonder who this is..."

"The Hua Family, Hua Wuyi!"

"The Hua Family? I see, so it's a member of the Hua Family!"

Raising an eyebrow, Liang Ruyue looked at Hua Wuyi, then carefully looked at Shen Yu; could there be some connection between these two? He hadn't heard that the Lord had any relationship with the Hua Family.

"My Lord, may I ask why the Hua Family has come to find you?"

"The poison in the tea is the Hua Family's strange poison, Hansha Fragrance, and Hua Wuyi has come precisely for this!"

"Doesn't that confirm it!" Liang Ruyue reacted immediately; it turned out that their Hua Family had no relationship with the Lord at all.

Isn't this just a case of "there is no silver buried here" after poisoning someone, and then seeing that the Lord seemed fine after being poisoned, so they rushed over to explain?

"My Lord, the poison is the Hua Family's strange poison, the person who poisoned you is also from the Hua Family, and now that you are fine, the Hua Family immediately sends someone to explain."

As he spoke, Liang Ruyue glanced at Hua Wuyi mockingly, "This is all too coincidental, isn't it? The timing is just right!"

"You, you!" This guy wants to strike at the heart; the methods of these Black-Clad Guard people are just like this, but they are undeniably effective.

"My Lord, you must not listen to his nonsense; we didn't do it."

"Alright, shut up, all of you!" Clutching the item in his hand, Shen Yu also felt it was too coincidental.

The Hua Family's poison—a top-tier family like the Hua Family, they must act in secret. How could Liang Ruyue find traces so easily, and these so-called pieces of evidence came too easily.

Even if Liang Ruyue's luck were good, it wouldn't be to this extent. Besides, would the Hua Family make such a low-level mistake?

Looking at the item in his hand, Shen Yu remained silent, but Hua Wuyi was truly anxious.

Jianghu rumors say that this person is someone who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes; if he flies into a rage, he really will kill people.

"My Lord, you must think thrice. The Hua Family is the number one family in Xichuan, and also one of the Eight Great Families of the Jianghu."

"My lord, the things you have done during this period have already made everyone in the pugilistic world feel endangered; if you were to destroy the Hua Family as well, I fear it would cause a massive uproar, and this would make you a public enemy of the pugilistic world!"
