Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "No need, I won't cooperate with someone who lacks honesty, but you mentioned earlier that you are one of the Rothschild family's agents in Yan Country, about that…"

"It's true." An Meihui said, "I promised, I will certainly have the Rothschild family help you, at the very least, I will help you. In Yan Country, I hold some of the Rothschild family's power, which will definitely benefit you."

"Well, Sister An, it seems you must be a beauty," Ye Xiao suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?" An Meihui questioned, slightly puzzled.

Ye Xiao said, "Because of the beauty in your heart!"

After hearing this, An Meihui smiled slightly and said, "What's the logic in that?"

"To always keep a father's revenge in mind, isn't that a beauty of the heart?" Ye Xiao laughed.

"Mr. Ye is joking, but being able to get Mr. Ye's help, I am truly grateful. If I succeed in killing Fu Tianjue, whatever Mr. Ye asks of me, I'll agree to it." An Meihui said earnestly.

Upon hearing An Meihui's words, Ye Xiao felt extremely pleased. Having a beauty say such things is truly delightful, although Ye Xiao was unsure of what An Meihui meant by "whatever things" could include.

Ye Xiao said, "I believe Sister An will certainly keep her promise, but I have one thing unclear."

"Mr. Ye, please go ahead."

"To be honest, Fu Tianjue's strength is formidable, and I admit I am not his match. To say something embarrassing, even with three or five people of my same strength, it's doubtful to win. Does Miss An have a revenge plan?" Ye Xiao asked.

To have Ye Xiao fight Fu Tianjue? He would never do it, because Ye Xiao believed he couldn't possibly defeat Fu Tianjue, so he would definitely not walk into such a certain death trap.

An Meihui said, "My people have already gained Fu Tianjue's trust in the Fu family, and today's plan is to drug Fu Tianjue."

"Drug him?" Upon hearing An Meihui's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh bitterly, saying, "Are you kidding? What use is an ordinary drug against a martial arts master? Especially someone like Fu Tianjue, it's hard to harm him."

"Normal drugs wouldn't harm Fu Tianjue and might be easily neutralized by him. However, if the drug is too heavy, he will surely notice it. So, I found a type of potion years ago. It is colorless and tasteless, difficult for anyone to detect. After ingesting it, there are no apparent bodily changes, but if True Qi is used, the drug will activate. However, it won't be fatal but will cause his True Qi to become chaotic, making it hard to perform at normal levels. If the poisoned person forcibly utilizes Inner Strength True Qi, at worst, the meridians could be damaged, and at worst, enter into madness. But even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If there isn't a strong individual attacking him at this time, it can't be guaranteed the poisoned person will certainly die." An Meihui spoke truthfully at this moment.

At this time, An Meihui was out of options, and could only speak the truth to gain Ye Xiao's trust. After all, without Ye Xiao's help, it's very hard for An Meihui to kill Fu Tianjue, and she could only rely on her confidants, and was afraid to use the Rothschild family's power.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xiao pondered for a moment and then said, "The drug you mentioned, is it called 'Qi Scattering Dew'?"

An Meihui, surprised, said, "Mr. Ye also knows of this drug?"

Ye Xiao hadn't heard about it from anyone, but it was briefly mentioned in an ancient book from Qiu Mountain. "Qi Scattering Dew" was crafted by someone who had lost their martial arts to deal with a powerful enemy but whether they succeeded isn't known. However, "Qi Scattering Dew" hadn't been used for over a century, and even on Qiu Mountain, no one talked about it. Most martial artists know nothing of this poison.

So, "Qi Scattering Dew" is extremely rare and very potent. As stated in the ancient texts, it is harmless to ordinary people because they lack True Qi. However, if ingested by a martial artist, their meridians enter a blocked state unknowingly. Unless Inner Strength True Qi is used, it won't be discovered. But once Inner Strength True Qi is activated, True Qi will be forcibly segmented into numerous stages. Breaking through requires abundant True Qi to gradually push through, while forced breakthroughs leave eight out of ten with severe injuries, and two may die outright.

But Ye Xiao only knows some from the ancient texts, and what An Meihui said doesn't seem well understood.

Ye Xiao said, "Sister An, have you used Qi Scattering Dew before?"

"No, I haven't!" An Meihui replied.

Ye Xiao said, "Then what you mentioned about its effects are likely what Sister An heard from someone else, right?"

"Yes!"

"How can you be certain that what you have is Qi Scattering Dew and not just regular water?" Ye Xiao questioned.

"Well… um, she wouldn't lie to me." An Meihui said.

"She? Who is she?" Ye Xiao immediately urged.

An Meihui hesitated, seemingly considering whether to tell Ye Xiao those matters.

Seeing An Meihui's silence, Ye Xiao said, "If Sister An doesn't want to tell, forget it."

An Meihui quickly said, "No, no, I'll say it. I don't know who she is. She seems to be a powerful outsider who told me this potion is called Qi Scattering Dew and advised using it against Fu Tianjue, then…"

"Then what?"

An Meihui said, "Then find a martial arts master to help, ensuring foolproof."

"Find a martial arts master?" Ye Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "Sister An, if I'm not mistaken, you sought me not on your own will but were directed by that outsider, right?"

"This…" An Meihui hesitated once more.

"I can't help with this!" Ye Xiao suddenly declared.

What a joke, this is clearly a trap. Who knows whether this outsider is an agent of Fu Tianjue? What if this is a setup to kill me? Then, I could be blamed for disrupting the funeral and charged with the murder of the Fu family members. At that moment, even if Ye Xiao had a hundred mouths, he couldn't escape such blame.

Both openly and secretly, the Fu family has reasons to kill him.

An Meihui wasn't aware of Ye Xiao's thoughts, she was just surprised upon hearing Ye Xiao's refusal to help, and said, "Mr. Ye, why is this the case? I told you everything."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not betray you, but this favor, I absolutely can't help with. Alright, don't call me again, let's just pretend I never received your call. Sister An, goodbye." Ye Xiao said and hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao hung up, his face solemn. He could fully imagine An Meihui feeling extremely disappointed now, but he couldn't help. Even An Meihui didn't know who "she" was, how could he have any idea? Though fearless, Ye Xiao wasn't foolish like Erdan.

"Ye Xiao, has something happened?"

Xia Mingyue and Jiang Miaoke, despite often bickering with Ye Xiao and trying to make him suffer, were now oddly worried seeing Ye Xiao drop his usual carefree demeanor for seriousness, and approached him saying.

Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue and Jiang Miaoke, thought for a while, and ultimately turned to Jiang Miaoke.

"Coco, are you going to the Fu family today?" Ye Xiao asked seriously, looking at Jiang Miaoke.

Jiang Miaoke found Ye Xiao's seriousness very strange, but still said to him, "Yes, being part of the Jiang Family, I should certainly go. After all, the Fu family losing two people this time is indeed a major event."

Ye Xiao said, "Since you must go, then go. However, you lack martial arts skills. Once there, stay close to your father, as I may not be able to protect you."

"Protect me?" Jiang Miaoke asked even more puzzled, "Is there going to be danger for me?"

"I don't know right now, just giving you a precaution. Oh, and Ming Yue, you probably don't need to go, but I think your father might be going, so please remind Uncle Xia to be careful and try to stay with the Jiang Family people." Ye Xiao said.

Today, Fu Hongyi and Fu Bin are being laid to rest. As one of Bird City's eight prominent families, presumably, all reputable families in Bird City will attend. Given people like An Meihui seeking revenge against Fu Tianjue, how could there not be others with similar intentions? Not to mention the Fu family has many enemies, doesn't everyone else have rivalries too? So, being mentally prepared is best.

"Okay, I'll tell my dad." Xia Mingyue knew Ye Xiao decided to go to the Fu family, and couldn't stop him.

But just then, Jiang Miaoke turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, who was that on the phone with you? Are you hiding something from us? Ye Xiao, Fu Tianjue isn't someone easy to handle. Even my father said our family needs my grandfather to stand a chance against Fu Tianjue."

"Haha, don't worry, it's not as bad as you think. I just believe the Fu family will be chaotic today, and I don't want my good, beautiful wives to suffer any pain, nor do I want my fathers-in-law to suffer." Ye Xiao chuckled.
