Chapter 133

"Young Master Lin, I can give you the Lianhua Treasure Mirror. I wonder if you could spare Xiaoyun?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin stopped staring at Li Xunhuan and looked at Lin Fan with anticipation.

"Sparing him is not out of the question. Bring me the Lianhua Treasure Mirror!" Lin Fan smiled indifferently.

"Very well, I will give it to you right now. I..."

Lin Shiyin had learned about Lin Fan through the diary. Since he had already made a promise, she could safely hand the Lianhua Treasure Mirror to him.

But when she prepared to take it out, she discovered that the Lianhua Treasure Mirror was no longer on her person.

Lin Shiyin's expression changed drastically. The Lianhua Treasure Mirror was missing. If Lin Fan misunderstood and thought she was playing him, then Xiaoyun would be in grave danger.

But she clearly kept the Lianhua Treasure Mirror on her person. Unless someone had approached her and stolen it—it was him, Long Xiaoyun!

Lin Shiyin turned her head abruptly to stare at Long Xiaoyun, discovering he was wearing a triumphant expression. It was indeed him who had stolen the Lianhua Treasure Mirror.

"Long Xiaoyun, take out the Lianhua Treasure Mirror! Don't you want to save Xiaoyun anymore?" Lin Shiyin shouted angrily at Long Xiaoyun.

"Of course I want to save him, but it can't be just whatever he says. We must exchange the person for the goods!" Long Xiaoyun looked at Lin Fan and said seriously.

"Very well, I'll exchange the person for the goods with you!"

Lin Fan opened his left hand, and under the circulation of his internal energy, he directly sucked Long Xiaoyun from the ground, then grabbed him and walked step by step toward Long Xiaoyun.

"Wait! Not you! Let your maid come, otherwise I will tear up the Lianhua Treasure Mirror!"

Long Xiaoyun was panicked as he watched Lin Fan walk over. Lin Fan's martial arts were unfathomable; Qin Xiaoyi had just been beheaded by him with one sword, and he didn't want to enjoy the same treatment.

So he directly took out the Lianhua Treasure Mirror, made a gesture to tear it up, and threatened Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was also happy to play along with him and see what tricks he could pull.

"Lv He, you go!"

Lin Fan threw Long Xiaoyun to Lv He, and then Lv He carried Long Xiaoyun step by step toward Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun's expression was somewhat unreadable. When Lv He walked in front of him, he wanted to take action to snatch the person.

But he discovered that Lv He's hand was always gripping Long Xiaoyun's neck. He believed that as soon as he made a move, Lv He could easily crush Long Xiaoyun's throat, and his son would undoubtedly die.

Helplessly, Long Xiaoyun handed the Lianhua Treasure Mirror to Lv He. After Lv He took it, she patted Long Xiaoyun on the back, forcing Long Xiaoyun to catch him, while she herself activated her Lingbo Micro-Steps and returned to Lin Fan's side.

Lin Fan took the Lianhua Treasure Mirror, flipped through a few pages, discovered it was indeed real, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hahaha! Lin Fan, you've fallen into my trap! I guessed you would flip through the Lianhua Treasure Mirror, so I sprinkled it full of Heart-Devouring Powder. Now you are poisoned. The Heart-Devouring Powder is extremely poisonous; an ordinary person would die within a quarter of an hour. Even if your internal energy is deep, you can hold on for at most half an hour. But the process of preparing the antidote for Heart-Devouring Powder is cumbersome and takes at least a full day, so even if you know how to detoxify, it will be of no use."

"Now, the only thing that can save you is the antidote in my hand. Return the Lianhua Treasure Mirror, and I will give you the antidote!"

"Father, he crippled my martial arts! Don't give him the antidote; let him die from the poison. Once he's dead, we can naturally take back the Lianhua Treasure Mirror!"

Long Xiaoyun had unsealed Long Xiaoyun's acupoints, so he could speak. And having returned to his father's side, discovering that they had the advantage in numbers and Lin Fan was poisoned, Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but become triumphant.

"Big Brother, why must you do this? Xiaoyun has already safely returned to your side, and the Lianhua Treasure Mirror isn't yours either. Why must you use such a despicable method as poisoning to secretly harm Brother Lin and get the Lianhua Treasure Mirror back?"

Li Xunhuan spoke up because he couldn't bear to watch anymore. Long Xiaoyun's actions confirmed Lin Fan's words—he was a despicable and vulgar villain!

"Shut up! Xiaoyun is the son of your cousin Lin Shiyin. He is your 'Brother Lin,' but I am still your Big Brother! Now, although Xiaoyun's life is not in danger, his martial arts have been crippled by him. Do you know that Xiaoyun has great talent? I have high hopes for him and hope he can surpass you!"

The affectionate gaze between Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan just now made Long Xiaoyun feel very uncomfortable, so he took this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction toward Li Xunhuan.

"Long Xiaoyun, give the antidote to Young Master Lin and stop looking for trouble!" Lin Shiyin said coldly.

"If you want the antidote, I refuse to give it! If you have the ability, let him come and snatch it!"

Long Xiaoyun's face was as black as ink. Being repeatedly advised by Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin, he felt that they were the couple and he had become the outsider, so his mood became even worse!

"Are you sure your Heart-Devouring Powder can kill a person within half an hour at most, and that you only have this one antidote?" Lin Fan said playfully.

"That is natural. I kept this antidote just in case!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyun was somewhat triumphant. No matter how high Lin Fan's martial arts were, hadn't he still been poisoned by him, with his life controlled in his own hands?

So it is said that the Wu Lin is not just about fighting and killing, but also about scheming against each other.

"Very well!"

Before Lin Fan's words had even faded, he activated the Thunder-Startling Azure Dragon and instantly arrived in front of Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun's expression changed drastically. He activated his lightness skill to retreat backward, while simultaneously hiding the jade bottle containing the antidote behind his back, fearing Lin Fan would snatch it.

However, Lin Fan only blew the Heart-Devouring Powder from the Lianhua Treasure Mirror into his and Long Xiaoyun's noses and mouths, then retreated back to Lv He and A Fei's side.

"Now there are three people poisoned with Heart-Devouring Powder. You don't need to consider me. Now you consider this: with this only antidote, will you take it yourself, or give it to your son?"

Lin Fan smiled. This test of human nature was quite interesting; let's see how Long Xiaoyun chooses!

Long Xiaoyun's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He never dreamed that Lin Fan wouldn't come to snatch the antidote, but instead had poisoned him and Long Xiaoyun as well.

Now, forcing him to make a choice between himself and Long Xiaoyun was truly too difficult. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want his son to die either!

"Good, good, good! Lin Fan, you have truly opened my eyes. You are much more interesting than Li Xunhuan!"

A Fei, watching the show from the side, couldn't help but applaud Lin Fan. Watching this play was truly satisfying.

"But aren't you worried? Three people are poisoned, and Long Xiaoyun will never give you the antidote no matter what. If I were you, I would have snatched the antidote back just now, instead of leaving Long Xiaoyun with this test of human nature. After all, one's own life is the most important; only by living is there a future!"

A Fei praised Lin Fan, then felt somewhat puzzled by Lin Fan's style of doing things.

According to Lin Fan's peerless lightness skill that was like teleportation just now, he should have been able to snatch the antidote easily. He didn't know why he had given it up.

"That is naturally because I am immune to all poisons. This Heart-Devouring Powder, I could eat it as a meal, though it might not taste very good!" Lin Fan said in a low voice.
