Doctor Fang was stunned and looked at Mo Xu in confusion.

This was not the first time he had seen Mr. Mo Xu, but this person had always given off an unfathomable feeling. His words were unhurried, let alone his emotions.

The child, who was originally standing behind Doctor Fang, silently walked to the side and poured a cup of tea. He handed it over and said respectfully, “Sir, have some tea.”

Only then did Mo Xu realize that he had lost his composure. He took a sip of the tea and placed it back in the child’s hand.

He sat back on the futon and said in a low voice, “Tell me what happened.”

Doctor Fang suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and explained Shangguan Han’s situation in detail.

When he finished, Mo Xu scolded, “Idiot, he wasn’t poisoned with the Daylily Powder at all.”

He seemed to have thought of something and shook his head repeatedly. “That’s impossible. It’s impossible for anyone else in this world to make that medicine, but that person…”

Suddenly, the teacup in the child’s hand fell to the ground with a shattering sound. Mo Xu stopped talking.

The child knelt down in a panic and begged for forgiveness. “Sir, I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Mo Xu glanced at him and said indifferently, “Get up. Just clean it up.”

“Yes.”

When Doctor Fang heard about the Daylily Powder, he could not care less and hurriedly asked, “Mr. Mo Xu, you mean our people did not succeed at all? Then who is the person you’re talking about?”

When he said this, his heart felt as if it had fallen into a cold lake. It was bone-chilling.

It would have been fine if that person was on their side, but wouldn’t he have fallen into someone else’s trap?

Mo Xu’s eyes turned cold and he did not mention that person. He warned, “You just have to do what Young Master instructed you to do. It’s best not to ask about things that you shouldn’t know.”

Doctor Fang felt a chill down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He said in a trembling voice, “Yes, yes. I won’t disappoint you.”

“Alright, go back. Remember, you only have one last chance.” Mo Xu waved his hand to chase him away.

Doctor Fang stood up trembling. Just as he was about to cup his hands and bid farewell, the child squatting on the ground to pick up the broken porcelain pieces suddenly looked at the door and shouted, “Who is it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver needle flew out of Mo Xu’s hand and shot through the wooden door.

Shen Yijia was shocked and was about to dodge when Song Jingchen, who was standing beside her, grabbed her waist and rushed back.

The wooden door opened with a bang, and the three people in the house walked out one after another.

“I’m sorry. Did I disturb you?” Shen Yijia rubbed her nose innocently.

“You, you…” Doctor Fang saw the people standing in the courtyard and fell to the ground in fear.

Shen Yijia glanced at the three people who came out and looked at Doctor Fang. She waved at him. “Haha, what a coincidence. Doctor Fang, you’re here too?”

She looked very surprised.

However, Doctor Fang only had one thought in his mind. It was over.

It was unknown if it was because he was frightened or because he was old, but his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

There were clearly four people standing in the courtyard, but Mo Xu’s eyes were fixed on Shen Yijia. This face…

He asked in surprise, “Who are you?”

It was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. She did not know him.

Shen Yijia glanced at him and didn’t answer. She turned to look at Song Jingchen and smiled awkwardly. “I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

She only scratched an itch. Who knew that the person inside was so vigilant? That stern shout also shocked her.

Song Jingchen did not miss Mo Xu’s gaze and pulled her behind him. He said, “It’s fine.”

Judging from Doctor Fang’s attitude towards him, this Mo Xu’s status was definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, these people’s words were vague. Even if he listened from the outside, he would not hear anything useful.

Therefore, whether they were discovered or not did not affect the overall situation. In any case, they were all people who were about to die.

Only then did Mo Xu size up the masked man in front of him. He narrowed his eyes. “Should I call you Young Master Shen or Noble Heir Song?”

Song Jingchen didn’t seem surprised that he knew his identity. He only said indifferently, “What’s the difference?”

Mo Xu sneered. “Of course. Noble Heir Song shouldn’t be standing, let alone appearing in Xunyang.”

Song Jingchen asked, “So?”

Mo Xu subconsciously moved a few steps closer to the child. “Aren’t you afraid that Emperor Chong’an will find out about you?”

Song Jingchen smiled mockingly and said firmly, “Your young master wouldn’t want that, would he?”

Before the mastermind obtained the private army, he would not let Song Jingchen die.

Not only that, but the mastermind would also help him hide the matter of the private army. Otherwise, if Emperor Chong’an found out, he would lose more than he gained.

The greedier a person was, the more they wanted. Little did they know that they were giving their opponents a chance. The incident in Xunyang was a good example.

Mo Xu’s eyes sharpened. “You know my young master well, but unfortunately, you don’t know me well.”

As soon as he finished speaking, three silver needles flew out of his hand and towards Song Jingchen’s vital points.

Song Jingchen held Shen Yijia and dodged. Three silver needles were nailed to the wooden fence behind them. The silver needles were black all over, and it was obvious that they were poisonous.

The moment they dodged, Mo Xu pulled the child and ran back to the wooden house.

Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, there was a whooshing sound behind him, and something wrapped around Mo Xu’s neck.

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows and dragged him back with one end of the whip.

Mo Xu fell to the ground and tried to open his eyes. He glared at Shen Yijia with a red face. “You’d better let me go.”

“That’s all you’ve got?” Shen Yijia blinked in disbelief. She thought that they were going to fight, but she did not expect this.

Song Jingchen held his forehead and reminded her helplessly, “Be careful, don’t let him use poison.”

It was obvious that this person was proficient in poison. He spent all his time making poison, so his martial arts skills were naturally not good.

He was probably the best at using silver needles, and he had practiced it to make it easier to poison people.

Mo Xu did not know what Song Jingchen was thinking. Otherwise, he would not have said that Song Jingchen did not understand him.

“Oh.” Shen Yijia humbly accepted his advice and retracted the soft whip in her hand.

Joy flashed across Mo Xu’s face. Just as he was about to get up, he cried out in pain and looked at his hands with a twisted expression.

His palms were firmly nailed to the ground by two daggers.

He looked up at Shen Yijia ferociously. She bared her teeth at him, but she said to Song Jingchen, “You don’t have to worry about him poisoning you now, right?”

Song Jingchen chuckled. “Yes.”

“What do you want?” Mo Xu was no longer as calm as before. His eyes were filled with fear. If he could not use poison, he was basically crippled.

At this moment, Mo Yuan returned with the child who had sneaked away. She threw him beside Mo Xu and stood behind Shen Yijia expressionlessly.

“If you don’t want to die, tell me who the young master you’re talking about is.” Shen Yijia paused at the thought of something. She pursed her lips and asked, “And who was the person you mentioned inside just now?”
