Chapter 518: Chapter 517: Poisoned
Binhai International Airport.
Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu hadn’t waited long before they saw Zhu Tianshou coming out with the crowd from the passage.
The moment Yang Fei caught sight of Zhu Tianshou from afar, his brow furrowed.
Zhu Tianshou was poisoned.
No wonder he was so eager to see him.
Tong Yunshu hurriedly approached and supported Zhu Tianshou’s arm while calling him grandfather.
Zhu Tianshou nodded in response, his gaze turning to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei asked in a low voice, "Senior, what happened to you?"
Zhu Tianshou replied with a bitter smile, "I need your help again."
At this moment, Tong Yunshu also noticed her grandfather’s unstable breath. She was now at the sixth rank of the Energy Transformation Realm and had cultivated the Great Yellow Court, making her perception sensitive.
"Grandfather, what’s wrong with you?" Tong Yunshu asked anxiously.
Zhu Tianshou looked at her, his eyes filled with relief and surprise, "Tong Yan, the Great Yellow Court you possess is truly remarkable. You’ve managed to grasp its essence in just a few months and have grown to this stage today. Since Tong Yan, the Tong Family seems to have a worthy successor."
Tong Yunshu, flattered by her grandfather’s praise, paid it no heed as she supported her grandfather and hurried towards the airport exit, asking with concern, "Grandfather, what exactly is wrong with you? It’s not serious, is it?"
Zhu Tianshou waved his hand, "I’ve managed to hold on till now without collapsing, so it should not be too serious. From here on, it’s up to Little Brother Yang."
Yang Fei nodded gravely and said, "Get in the car, let me take a look."
The trio made their way to the parking lot and found the large G. Yang Fei and Zhu Tianshou sat in the back while Tong Yunshu took the driver’s seat.
"Start the car, I’ll check on the senior first." Yang Fei said.
The moment Zhu Tianshou had first addressed him as Little Brother Yang, Tong Yunshu had secretly rolled her eyes at Yang Fei. Now that he was addressing Zhu Tianshou, he naturally adopted a respectful posture, addressing himself as a junior.
"You should first check on my grandfather. Starting the car might affect your judgment." Tong Yunshu said.
Yang Fei replied, "No worries, you drive."
But Tong Yunshu didn’t heed his words, focused on her grandfather’s well-being and not in the mood to drive.
Seeing this, Yang Fei no longer insisted and said to Zhu Tianshou, "Senior, give me your hand, I’ll take your pulse."
Zhu Tianshou extended his hand to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei examined Zhu Tianshou’s pulse and within moments his brows furrowed and he uttered a soft grunt.
Tong Yunshu’s anxiety grew, and she asked urgently, "What is it? Is it very serious?"
Yang Fei frowned and shook his head without answering, focusing on taking the pulse.
After a while, Yang Fei told Zhu Tianshou, "This poison is extremely aggressive. If not for your extensive experience and the immediate suppression of it at that acupoint, it might have already activated."
Zhu Tianshou chuckled, nodding, "Indeed, it’s very aggressive. Otherwise, with my cultivation, I shouldn’t have been so easily affected by the toxin."
"What exactly happened, and who poisoned you?" Yang Fei asked.
Zhu Tianshou replied, "It’s a long story. You better detoxify me first, I feel like I can’t suppress it much longer."
Yang Fei’s expression slightly changed upon hearing this. He had thought Zhu Tianshou would be able to suppress the toxin easily, but was caught off guard by his struggle to maintain control.
It seemed he had underestimated the aggressiveness of the toxin.
"Find a quiet place." Yang Fei urged Tong Yunshu.
Tong Yunshu immediately started the car and sped towards a villa she had recently purchased nearby.
They arrived at the villa shortly.
This was a detached villa with a very expansive garden that even contained a small bamboo grove spanning hundreds of meters and equipped with walking paths and a pavilion.
When the car arrived at the gate, the gate automatically opened after recognizing the license plate number.
Tong Yunshu drove straight in, and after entering the underground garage, she headed towards the adjacent elevator.
Yang Fei couldn’t help but say, "Your villa is quite luxurious."
Having an elevator in a villa wasn’t considered luxurious, but owning such a large piece of land in Binhai City, even with a surrounding garden-style structure, was extraordinary.
It’s important to note that many villas these days are built in villa complexes; even those in Binjiang Garden are detached, there’s usually not such large auxiliary buildings around them. Rather than calling it a detached villa, it’s more apt to say it was a small manor.
Tong Yunshu glanced at Yang Fei and huffed, "It’s a pity that only I live in it."
Seeing Zhu Tianshou looking at him, Yang Fei couldn’t help but cough a few times.
Zhu Tianshou smiled slightly, choosing not to reveal their identities.
As for the relationship between his granddaughter and Yang Fei, Zhu Tianshou was well aware, and honestly, he genuinely liked Yang Fei, especially because Yang Fei had cured him from his paralysis, for which he felt deep gratitude.
Moreover, with Yang Fei being young, handsome, and highly capable, how could he not like such a grandson-in-law?
Unfortunately, this young man was already spoken for.
If it were any other woman, Zhu Tianshou wouldn’t care, and he might even help his granddaughter steal the man, but the problem was that the person in question was Qin Yanyang.
Putting aside the identity of Qin Yanyang as a daughter of the Qin Family, just the fact that she had helped during his treatment by Yang Fei meant Zhu Tianshou couldn’t possibly support Tong Yunshu in snatching Yang Fei from Qin Yanyang.
Even though he clearly knew about the secretive relationship between Tong Yunshu and Yang Fei, he could only pretend to be unaware.
Arriving in an upstairs guest room, Zhu Tianshou lay down on the bed.
Yang Fei told him to release the control he had over the toxins in his body.
Instantly, those toxins were stirred by a fierce True Yuan, attacking Zhu Tianshou’s extraordinary meridians and collaterals.
Visibly, Zhu Tianshou’s skin turned dark, becoming increasingly blackened, especially over the veins that were exposed, where the ink-like color continued to spread.
Yang Fei’s pupils slightly constricted as he exclaimed, "The Demon Planting Technique?"
Zhu Tianshou asked in confusion, "What Demon Planting Technique?"
Yang Fei explained, "It involves using a formidable method to leave a stream of True Qi inside someone’s body. This True Qi coalesces without dispersing, causing various detrimental effects to the afflicted person’s body."
Zhu Tianshou exclaimed in surprise, "Are you saying that rather than being poisoned, I’ve been inflicted with the Demon Planting Technique?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "No, you have been poisoned, but the perpetrator used the method of the Demon Planting Technique to inject the poison into your body. Thus, if you cannot suppress this dose of True Qi or expel it from your body, you will soon succumb to the toxin and undoubtedly die."
Tong Yunshu listened in, fraught with tension, and asked anxiously, "What should we do? Yang Fei, can you detoxify him?"
Although Yang Fei was curious about how Zhu Tianshou had been poisoned, it wasn’t the time to inquire. He said, "I’ll first try to extract this stream of True Qi and then use the Revitalizing Needle Technique to detoxify you."
"Alright, just do your best. I feel this toxin is very tyrannical; my body has started to numb, losing sensation and control," Zhu Tianshou said gravely.
Yang Fei didn’t hesitate, diligently captured that stream of True Qi with utmost precision.
His other hand moved as fast as lightning quickly sealing the acupoints near the location of that True Qi using Qi Control Needle, forcibly confining that wisp of Devil Seed Energy to one place.
Following a low murmur, a mist of blood burst out from Zhu Tianshou’s body, within which a sword-like force shot out, flying toward the ceiling.
Yang Fei quickly grasped it; an instantaneous force enveloped that True Qi, and as Yang Fei flicked his wrist, the Devil Seed Energy was swept out of the window.
"Puff!"
The three saw that after the Devil Seed Energy burst out of the window for more than ten meters, it suddenly dispersed, and bits of impure, ink-like mist drifted away, revealing bits of the poison contained in that True Qi.
With the extraction of the Devil Seed Energy, Zhu Tianshou felt significantly relieved, but his body still appeared dark and harbored a large amount of toxins.
Yang Fei manipulated the Qi Control Needle, activating the Revitalizing Thirteen Needle Technique to continuously force the remaining toxins out of Zhu Tianshou’s body.
