After the injection and medicine, I feel sleepy. Four chapters for today, I will make up the missing chapter tomorrow morning.
Xianyang City, Qingyuan Hall!
"Lord Meng Yun, it really was you!"
Not only did he have no enmity with Meng Yun, but he also took care of him in many ways when he first entered Xianyang City. There was no reason for him to arrange an assassin to ambush him.
Therefore, he had no choice but to identify the smell on Meng Yun's body.
And the result!
It was exactly the same smell as the two black-clothed scholars. This caused the smile on Yu Haoran's face to instantly turn cold.
"Prince Consort, what's wrong?"
Seeing Yu Haoran's face turn cold in an instant, the guilty Meng Yun immediately became nervous. However, his outstanding mental fortitude allowed him to continue to maintain a smile and ask.
"Lord Meng, is there any enmity between you and me?" Yu Haoran asked coldly.
"No!" Meng Yun pretended to be puzzled as he shook his head and replied.
"Lord Meng, is there any enmity between you and me?"
"No!"
"Meng Yun!"
Suddenly, Yu Haoran shouted angrily.
"Since there is no enmity between you and me, why did you arrange an assassin to ambush me!"
The sudden shout immediately attracted the attention of many guests. They all stopped talking and looked at Yu Haoran who was angrily glaring at Meng Yun.
"Master Meng, what's going on with your Meng Family? Why are you only holding on to Haoran?"
Prince Yi Feng, who was valued and favored by Yu Haoran, immediately criticized Meng Yun in displeasure when he saw him provoke Yu Haoran's anger.
"This old man also doesn't know!" Meng Zhengkai frowned and said in confusion.
However, when they heard Yu Haoran loudly questioning the assassin and the ambush, everyone's expression couldn't help but change.
Meng Zhengkai instantly left the VIP area and appeared beside Yu Haoran. He also angrily looked at Meng Yun and asked.
"Little Yun, speak. What's going on?"
"Ancestor, I don't know what happened either."
Meng Yun quickly recalled the entire assassination plan. After confirming that there was no disclosure, he immediately pretended to be confused and replied.
"Grandmaster Yu, do you think you misunderstood Meng Yun?"
Meng Zhengkai asked with a smile when he saw Meng Yun's confused expression, as if he didn't know about the assassination and the sneak attack.
"Misunderstanding!"
With a sneer, Yu Haoran took out a pill bottle from his storage ring and asked Meng Zhengkai and all the guests present.
"Senior Meng, do you know what's inside the pill bottle?"
Meng Zhengkai shook his head, indicating that he could not guess.
"Ranked seventeenth on the Profound Sky Continent's Hundred Poison Ranking, the Specter Soul Devourer!" Yu Haoran said through gritted teeth.
After hearing Yu Haoran's introduction, all the guests present couldn't help but take a few steps back. Even Meng Zhengkai, whose cultivation had reached the level of a Martial Honorable, subconsciously distanced himself from Yu Haoran and the pill bottle in his hand.
This was because the Specter Soul Devourer was too famous and the poison was too strong. If one were to come into contact with it, one's soul would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Grandmaster Yu, what does the Specter Soul Devourer have to do with me?"
Just as Yu Haoran said that the pill bottle contained the Specter Soul Devourer's poison, Meng Yun suddenly became nervous. However, he continued to maintain his confused tone and asked.
"Meng Yun, do you know?"
Holding the pill bottle tightly in his hand, Yu Haoran said with a strong murderous aura slowly rising from his body.
"If it weren't for the fact that I, Yu Haoran, am proficient in the Dao of Pills and slightly involved in the Dao of Poison, I'm afraid that I would have already died from the Specter Soul Devourer's poison."
"Haoran, could it be that you've been poisoned by the Specter Soul Devourer's poison?" Emperor Qin, who had left the VIP area with Qin Lingfei, asked with a gloomy expression.
Qin Lingfei rushed to his side and began to examine his body.
He bent down and rolled up his trousers, revealing a wound that even the best healing pills could not completely heal in a short period of time. Then, he said with a lingering fear.
"Until now, I, Yu Haoran, have never forgotten the impact of the Specter Soul Devourer's poison on my Sea of Consciousness and the fear of my soul being destroyed at any time."
"Meng Yun, why did you want to harm Yu Haoran?" Qin Lingfei asked with a fierce expression as she reached out to touch the dagger wound on Yu Haoran's small foot.
Emperor Qin, Prince Yi Feng, and more than ten quasi-Martial Sovereign experts all looked at Meng Yun with gloomy expressions.
Wu Zhengjun broke free from Meng Zhengze's grip and walked behind Meng Yun. His entire body emitted a strong murderous aura as he stared at Meng Yun.
"Ling Fei, Meng Yun has a kind nature and has never made enemies with others. Why would he arrange for an assassin to assassinate the Prince Consort?"
Sensing the heavy atmosphere and the danger that Meng Yun was in, Princess Ru Ling, who deeply believed in Meng Yun's character, could not help but step forward to defend Meng Yun.
"Princess Ru Ling, to be honest, Meng Yun has done me a favor before."
Yu Haoran put down his trousers and patted Qin Lingfei, who was glaring angrily at Meng Yun. Then, he spoke to Princess Ru Ling with a sad expression.
"After all, when I first came to Xianyang City, Meng Yun had personally arranged for my daily life. I've always remembered this kindness in my heart.
"Therefore, I don't believe that he's the mastermind behind the scenes.
"However, I have a special secret technique that allows me to distinguish the people I've been in contact with recently through the scent left on the assassin's body.
"Unfortunately, I've only managed to find the scent of one person from the assassin who tried to assassinate me."
Yu Haoran's sad expression was instantly replaced by a gloomy one. He turned his head to look at Meng Yun and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
"And this person is Lord Meng Yun!
"Prince Consort, I've been staying in the Meng Clan's ancestral home for the past few days and have not come into contact with anyone. I have neither the time nor the opportunity to arrange for an assassin."
Yu Haoran's explanation seemed reasonable but in reality, he could not produce any evidence.
Therefore, Meng Yun, who had calmed down the panic in his heart, spoke with a confident expression.
"If you want to accuse me, Prince Consort, of being the mastermind behind the scenes, I hope you can produce sufficient evidence."
"Meng Yun, you're right. I truly can't produce sufficient evidence to prove that you're the mastermind behind the scenes."
Yu Haoran nodded in response to Meng Yun's explanation, but then his lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke in a mocking tone.
"However, do you think I don't have a way?!"
He turned his gaze to Qin Tianze.
"Big Brother, I have a favor to ask of you!"
"Haoran, we're already family. There's no need to ask for anything. Just speak your mind," Qin Tianze declared heroically.
"I'll have to trouble Big Brother to swear on the Heavenly Dao that the assassination that occurred in the Yu Clan of Ping Yang City nine days ago had nothing to do with you."
In truth, Yu Haoran's request had been rather excessive.
