"This..."

At this moment, under Miyamoto Kuro's command, each of those poisoned had been given a bowl of medicinal soup.

The scalding concoction was green and even emitted a foul stench.

Seeing this, the group of poisoned people couldn't help but make uncomfortable faces.

To be honest, even though they were poisoned, they were reluctant to drink this stuff.

This thing is just too disgusting, isn't it?

They all looked eagerly at Miyamoto Kuro.

They wondered if Miyamoto Kuro and Xu Fan could come up with a slightly less nauseating solution.

"..."

Miyamoto Kuro rolled his eyes at the group.

At a time like this, they still had the mind to pick and choose?

Didn't they hear Xu Fan say earlier that there was only this one way to detoxify?

"What are you all standing around for? Drink while it's hot!"

"Do you want to die?"

Frustrated, Miyamoto Kuro glared at them.

Even though they were unwilling, they kept their priorities straight.

Their lives were on the line, and no matter how disgusting it was, they had to drink it.

Immediately, each of them pinched their noses, closed their eyes, and with a look of disgust, tackled the bowl of soup.

One by one, they finished drinking and discarded their bowls.

Relief was written all over their faces.

Xu Fan watched from the side, the playful smile on his lips growing richer.

His gaze moved away from those who had drunk the medicine to those who were still hesitating.

By now, those still holding their bowls of soup were few.

Following everyone's lead, most had taken care of their medicine. Xu Fan's eyes scanned the crowd, and soon, they settled on someone.

This guy was holding a bowl full of the soup, with an indescribably complex expression on his face.

"Little bastard, I've finally caught you."

Xu Fan assessed the person before him, unable to suppress a cold smile.

Though this guy was wearing the Miyamoto Family's robes, Xu Fan didn't believe he was truly one of them.

After arranging such a show for him, Xu Fan was sure this guy wouldn't miss the chance to watch him make a fool of himself.

Xu Fan had suspected earlier that this guy was hiding among the crowd.

As for his confidence now, the reason was even simpler.

Among everyone present, only he and the poisoner knew there was no antidote for the poison and spiritual power was the only way to cure it.

Almost everyone had taken the medicine; even those who hadn't were preparing to do so. Except for this guy, whose face was full of stubborn refusal to drink.

Everyone else drank, so he had no reason not to.

Clearly, he knew the bowl wasn't an antidote.

Not to mention, he had earlier warned everyone that the bowl contained lethal poison.

The guy was just staying to watch the show. No way he'd willingly drink a bowl of poison.

Watching the guy's shifty eyes, Xu Fan snorted coldly.

This guy was audacious, daring to stay and watch after poisoning them. Today, he'd ensure this guy would never smile again!

Without revealing his identity, Xu Fan sat quietly in the hall, waiting for his performance.

After a little waiting, the guy had come up with a strategy.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the guy stood up angrily, smashing the bowl in his hand!

"Family Head! This guy is deceiving us!"

"This bowl doesn't contain an antidote at all! It's poison meant to kill us!"

"What... This?"

"No... can't be?"

His words instantly silenced the crowd.

After finishing the drink, to be told that what they drank can't save them and might instead kill them?

You can't play like this!

"What nonsense are you talking about! Mr. Xu Fan wouldn't deceive you!"

Seeing the clanspeople's mood becoming unstable, Miyamoto Kuro chastised the guy.

The guy was just a no-name disciple, compared to whom Miyamoto Kuro naturally trusted Xu Fan more.

"Family Head! There's no antidote for the poison we have! This guy wants to harm our family!"

Seeing that Miyamoto Kuro didn't believe him, the guy desperately tried to blame Xu Fan.

Under his provocation, the people around began to look at Xu Fan with suspicion.

Seeing this, Xu Fan didn't rush.

He sat comfortably, waiting for the guy to finish before speaking.

"Are you done?"

Looking at the guy, Xu Fan stood up from his chair.

Meeting the guy's eyes and seeing his overconfident expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle coldly.

Did this guy think he could talk his way to Xu Fan's downfall?

"Friend, after saying so much, don't you think you know too much?"

"Even I, with my medical skills, can't name this poison. How do you, a mere nobody, know there's no antidote?"

"This..."

Xu Fan's series of questions left the guy speechless.

Meeting Xu Fan's gaze, his previous confidence was gone, replaced by panic.

He never expected Xu Fan had set a trap waiting for him to fall into!

Damn...

Seeing the crowd's gaze turning toward him, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Y-you're talking nonsense!"

Faced with the crowd and Xu Fan's intense stare, the guy got so nervous he nearly exploded.

He had no idea how to answer Xu Fan's questions and ended up pointing at Xu Fan, babbling incoherently.

Xu Fan found it amusing.

Even now, he dared argue with him?

"Everyone, one more thing. This guy is the only one who isn't poisoned."

"Friend, if you're not convinced, why don't you strip and let us take a look?"

"This..."

Hearing Xu Fan's words, those around nodded secretly, thinking it made sense.

If poisoned, a black line would appear at the Dantian. If this guy were poisoned, he'd also have a black line there!

Eyes upon him, the crowd gestured for him to show his innocence by stripping.

Despite the pressure, the guy made no move.

Clearly, he had something to hide!

This guy was just hiding among the crowd to watch the chaos, not going as far as poisoning himself to avoid suspicion.

His reluctance to comply showed he wasn't poisoned.

"Hmph."

Finally dragging him out, Xu Fan sneered and said, "Little bastard, want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Even if the King of Heaven comes to save you today, you're not getting away!"
