"Brother Ren, if we can't do it in the open, we can do it in the dark. Can't we think of a way to get back at him?" At this time, Li Yuzhou interrupted cautiously. He and Sun Baolu's knees were injured by Lin Yi, and they still couldn't stand up until now. They could only crawl on the ground with their hands. If they brought a bowl, they could go out and beg for food. They hated Lin Yi to the core.
"Yes, yes, let's give him a taste of his own medicine. We can also make him suffer in silence!" Sun Baolu echoed.
"Let's give him a taste of his own medicine? How? Can you think of a way for me? " Ren Zhongyuan glanced at the two impatiently and frowned. "This matter must not be delayed. If we reach the East Continent, we don't know which college that kid and Ning Xuefei will go to. At that time, it will be too late to deal with him. We must act before he gets off the ship!"
"Uh …" Li Yuzhou and Sun Baolu suddenly looked at each other. This kind of thing was easy to say, but to really think of a reasonable and feasible idea, it was really not something that could be thought of in a short time.
"Isn't it just empty slander? In my opinion, this matter is actually not difficult. Brother Ren, have you forgotten that the disciples of the East Continent have to work on the ship in shifts, even we are no exception. Although that kid has the title of West Island's son-in-law, he definitely can't make an exception. After all, he is going to the East Continent College to study, so naturally, he has to follow our East Continent's rules! "Yi Xiaotian pinched his chin and said.
"Yes, as long as he works on shifts, we have a chance to frame him and let him taste the feeling of being unable to explain himself!" Ren Zhongyuan clapped his hands excitedly.
"So, Brother Ren, you have already thought of what to do?" Yi Xiaotian asked with interest.
"Yes, you guys just wait and watch the show. This time, I must force this West Island's son-in-law to a dead end, hehe!" Killing intent flashed in Ren Zhongyuan's eyes. Although he did not dare to act openly due to Liu Ziyu's intimidation, as long as he could make Lin Yi unable to explain himself, even Liu Ziyu would not be able to protect him!
The next day, just as Ren Zhongyuan and the rest had expected, all the East Continent disciples, including Lin Yi and Ning Xuefei, were assigned to work in shifts. Ning Xuefei's task was to follow Huo Yudie and the rest to clean the deck. As for Lin Yi, he was assigned to the canteen, where he was responsible for putting all kinds of delicacies into the Immortal Stone Jade Pool.
This kind of task was purely to run errands. Anyway, there was nothing special about the place where the food was placed. As long as it could be reached, it was fine. It was neither laborious nor difficult. With just the strength of one person, Lin Yi easily finished the task in a short while.
During lunchtime, the East Continent disciples came to the canteen in groups of three to five. Naturally, Lin Yi was with Huo Yudie, Ning Xuefei, and the rest. Along the way, he passed by Ren Zhongyuan and the rest. However, what surprised him was that this guy only glanced at him coldly and did not come over to look for trouble. Could it be that he was really frightened by Liu Ziyu's words?
But what did that sinister smile at the corner of his mouth mean? Lin Yi shook his head in confusion. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it.
Four hours later, Lin Yi's bad premonition finally became reality. All the East Continent disciples had been poisoned!
The symptoms were very strange. There was only a faintly discernible poisonous gas wandering around the meridians in their bodies. Other than that, there was nothing special. At first glance, everyone looked very normal. Even the circulation of Vital Qi was unimpeded. The only thing was that this poisonous gas was difficult to expel from the body no matter what method was used.
If that was all, it would still be fine. The problem was that this poisonous gas would suddenly invade their heart meridians at some point in time, and once their heart meridians were invaded by the poisonous gas, they would not be far from death.
All the East Continent disciples were gathered together, looking at each other worriedly. In these four hours, there were already three disciples whose heart meridians had been damaged, and it was Liu Ziyu who had barely managed to preserve their last breaths. Now, their lives were on the line, and there was a possibility that they would breathe their last at any moment.
If they did not think of a way to get rid of the poisonous gas in their bodies as soon as possible, the others would suffer the same fate sooner or later. Perhaps all the East Continent disciples on the ship would lose their lives!
Among everyone, only Lin Yi was not affected. He had a physique that was immune to all poisons, and it was very difficult for ordinary poisons to have any effect on him. However, the others did not know this, and thought that he had been poisoned as well. After all, even a big shot of the academy like Liu Ziyu had not been spared. The intensity of the poison was no small matter.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the ship was extremely tense. Everyone was looking at each other and keeping their guard up against each other. With such a large-scale poisoning incident happening suddenly, it was definitely impossible to say that there was no one behind it!
"Vice Headmaster Liu, I believe that there must be the true culprit behind this incident. Only by quickly finding him will we be able to get the antidote!" Ren Zhongyuan immediately jumped out and said.
The others nodded as well, all of them shouting loudly to catch the true culprit. This matter concerned their lives, so there was no room for hesitation or delay.
"You have a clue?" Liu Ziyu looked at him with a slight frown. This matter had been very strange from the start, making him feel baffled.
If there was really someone who had intentionally poisoned them, then how did he operate it, and what were his intentions?
If he had really wanted to poison them to death, he could have chosen a stronger poison, and would not have given everyone the time to react like this. Even if they could not get rid of the poison, this bit of time was completely enough for them to find the true culprit. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Thinking about it carefully, there was something indescribably fishy about every part of the incident. However, the crowd was very agitated now, and if this dragged on, the situation might very well go out of control. When that time came, it would really get out of hand!
Liu Ziyu could only first declare that he wanted to find the true culprit behind the scenes. Only then would he be able to pacify the crowd.
"Yes!" Ren Zhongyuan's resolute reply immediately roused everyone's spirits. His gaze swept across everyone's faces, pretending to be suspicious, before he slowly said, "Earlier, I discovered that only our East Continent's disciples were poisoned, while all the crew members were safe and sound. Doesn't everyone feel that this is the most obvious clue?!"
"What do you mean?" Those with slower reactions had not understood, but Yi Xiaotian, who was at the side, smacked his head and said, "What Brother Ren means is that the culprit poisoned our food?"
