Long Tianci glanced at Buddha and snorted coldly: "Useless! So many people, and they all failed!"

Buddha was terrified, his guts almost spilling out: "Brother Long, spare me, spare me!"

Long Tianci ignored Buddha.

In his mind, anyone who failed to complete a task deserved to die.

Long Tianci walked straight up to Ye Guichen, poured him a glass of wine, and extended his hand: "Let's get acquainted. I'm Long Tianci, the eldest son of Long Zhengkun from Longteng Group. Of course, I also have another identity: Three Flowers Hall Master of Sakura Falling."

Ye Guichen naturally recognized Long Tianci as the person who hung around with Chen Longxiang; after all, the three-petal sakura on his face was too conspicuous.

Seeing his effeminate demeanor, Ye Guichen felt goosebumps all over and refused to shake his hand. He merely said indifferently: "Ye Guichen, Chen Ziran's man from Chen Group."

"Haha, haha, interesting, interesting!" Long Tianci was not angry at the words. He retracted his hand and laughed, "Ye Guichen, do you really think everyone in the world is an idiot?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the barely alive men lying around: "With your skills, you claim to be the husband of an ordinary woman like Chen Ziran? Do you think I believe that?"

Ye Guichen replied indifferently: "Oh, I forgot to mention, I am currently the manager of the Chen Group's Security Department."

"You are playing me!" Seeing that Ye Guichen would not reveal his true identity, Long Tianci's face turned ominously dark. "Since you don't want to tell me your true identity, I won't force you. But since you came to see me today, let's have a good chat, shall we?"

Ye Guichen was not polite and straightforwardly placed the three pieces of Jade Pendant in front of Long Tianci: "You've come for these three Jade Pendants, haven't you?"

Long Tianci was stunned, completely unprepared for Ye Guichen's revelation about possessing the Jade Pendants and even bringing them out openly.

Could it be that he doesn't understand that possessing treasures invites trouble?

"Haha, bold!" Long Tianci waved his hand; Buddha's mouth moved twice, but he dared not utter a sound, and he commanded his people: "Everyone, get out."

Shortly after, the entire bar was left with only Long Tianci and Ye Guichen.

Long Tianci didn't rush to explain; he didn't even glance at the three Jade Pendants and instead poured Ye Guichen another glass of wine. He said slowly, "You can fight very well, which surprises me. Still, I want to tell you that no matter how brave you are, as Buddha always says, 'Open attacks are easy to dodge, hidden schemes are hard to guard against.'"

At this point, Long Tianci looked at Ye Guichen, his mouth curving in a cold smile: "Do you know why I'm not afraid to tell you everything?"

Ye Guichen finished his drink again, "Tell me."

"Because I admire you." Long Tianci sipped his wine, "If you kneel now and accept me as your master, I can spare your life today."

"What if I refuse?" Ye Guichen smiled sweetly at Long Tianci.

"Haha, refuse?" Long Tianci laughed loudly, "Even though I don't know who you are, anyone who ingests Sakura Poison cannot survive in this world."

Bang!

Long Tianci smashed the wine bottle and reached for the three Jade Pendants: "Do you know how our Sakura Falling organization came to be? It's because of this fearsome Sakura Poison. Now, you have no choice."

Long Tianci grinned maliciously and continued: "The wine you drank contains Sakura Poison that I administered. There's no cure in the world. Today, you either accept me as your master, or you die!"

Ye Guichen calmly pressed down Long Tianci's hand, speaking leisurely: "Sakura falling with five toxins, once in the belly, no ghost shall survive, right?"

"What? How do you know that saying?" Long Tianci had been certain of victory. Upon hearing Ye Guichen's words, his calm demeanor shifted rapidly.

Astonishment and uncertainty!

Only the core members of Sakura Falling knew the meaning of this saying.

Because Sakura Poison is the foundation of Sakura Falling.

This Sakura Poison is concocted from scorpions, centipedes, geckos, venomous snakes, and toads—five infamous poisons, originating from Miaojiang Witchcraft. Over time, its toxicity grew stronger; touching it means certain death, let alone ingesting it.

Because of this, countless experts have died at Long Tianci's hands.

This poison is so insidious that no matter how skilled a fighter is, once poisoned, there is no escape but death.

Earlier, while pouring wine for Ye Guichen, Long Tianci had surreptitiously placed Sakura Poison in his glass, watching him drink it.

But at this moment, Ye Guichen appeared unaffected by the poison.

Moreover, he had accurately described the characteristics of Sakura Poison.

No ghost shall survive.

Not even deities can survive under the influence of Sakura Poison.

This alone proved the terrifying nature of the poison.

"Haha, no wonder I'm so unfamiliar with the Sakura Falling organization. It turns out you merely used rudimentary witchcraft techniques and dared to flaunt them before me?" Ye Guichen said, removing Long Tianci's hand.

Medicine and poison are inherently linked.

Ye Guichen had studied medicine for many years. If he wanted to use poison, even his master Li Fengxian had to bow to his skills.

And now Long Tianci dared to play with poison before him?

In Ye Guichen's eyes, it was utterly ludicrous.

Though surprised, Long Tianci didn't dwell on it and instinctively reached for the Jade Pendants. Yet somehow, his hand no longer obeyed him.

Looking down, Long Tianci's face turned deathly pale.

His once fair hand was now covered in dark spots, resembling corpse marks.

This was the most recognizable symptom of Sakura Poison.

"What did you do to me?" Long Tianci stumbled back several steps, staring at Ye Guichen in terror.

Long Tianci couldn't make sense of it.

How did the Sakura Poison end up on him?

Ye Guichen picked up a Jade Pendant, playing with it as he spoke: "I didn't do anything; I just returned the Sakura Poison you gave me."

"Impossible!" Long Tianci screamed hysterically: "Absolutely impossible! You had no chance to poison me, and even if you did, I would have noticed. Who do you think you are? Do you really believe you're our Oiran, Nine Flower Saint Mother?"

"Tsk tsk, that name is really awkward." Ye Guichen shrugged: "Long Tianci, I don't know about any Nine Flower Saint Mother, but your petty tricks are child's play to me. Haha, a mere Sakura Poison, what a joke."

"What?" Long Tianci's pupils shrank, realizing Ye Guichen wasn't lying. His heart trembled: "Who, who exactly are you?"
