2234 The battle of words at the banquet (3)

“Yao family head, has the well water been seized?” The master of the ning family asked again when the old man of the Yao family stopped talking.

“Not yet,” After a long time, the head of the Yao family spat out two words.

“There’s no problem with the well water? Or has your Yao clan already warned the Yao clan members not to dig for the water in the well?” The master of the ning family asked with a sneer. He had been biding his time these days, waiting for this day! Hehe! Today, he was going to make this old thing suffer in silence.

“I admit that there’s something wrong with the Yao family’s well, but the reason for your poisoning might not be because of the well water.” The head of the Yao clan said stubbornly.

“Oh, really? Then can you tell me the cause of the poisoning?” The master of the ning family asked.

“This … We’re still investigating!” The head of the Yao clan said.

“Check my ass! It’s been so many days, what have you found? Your Yao clan’s Alchemist has already said that the poison in our four clans was from a snake, and that the poison was in the water. Yet, you still dare to say that the poison in our four clans has nothing to do with the poison in your well! Hmph! Even if he wanted to get rid of responsibility, he shouldn’t be lying through his teeth, right? Do you think we’re that easy to fool?” The master of the ning family sneered.

“Master ning, I want to ask you, since you insist that the four families were poisoned because of our Yao family’s water, how come you’re fine? Didn’t the other three families also have people who weren’t poisoned? Besides, we, the Yao family, also drank the water from the well, but we’re still fine!” After listening to master ning’s words, master Yao also questioned the doubts.

“Hahaha! You’re asking me why I’m fine? I’ll tell you the truth, I’m fine because I haven’t eaten anything from your Yao family, not even a sip of water. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your Butler. In fact, it should be because I haven’t had the time to eat, because the food of your Yao family is just too hard to swallow!” The master of the ning family laughed and said with a hint of ridicule.

At this moment, the elders of the other four families also stood up and said to the head of the Yao family with a serious expression,”Yao family head, we’re fine because we didn’t eat the Yao family’s food and water!”

Their testimony made master ning laugh even more.

But the Yao family head was so angry that his face turned green!

F * ck! Could he say that these four families were all in the same boat?

At this moment, a guard ran into the banquet hall in a panic, shouting,””Master! Not good, something has happened!”

Seeing this, the head of the Yao family immediately vented his anger on the guard and roared,”Why are you panicking? You’re so loud, you really don’t have any rules!”

“Master, something has happened! Many of our clansmen have been poisoned!” The guard shouted again.

Upon hearing this, everyone present stood up in unison. Other than the members of the Yao family, everyone’s eyes shot towards the head of the Yao family.

When the Yao family’s head saw this, he felt his head throb! He couldn’t help but curse the guard in his heart!

‘Damn idiot, is there anything that can’t be said in private? He had to come here and talk about this in front of so many people. Now, he couldn’t deal with it quietly even if he wanted to!

As expected, just as the thought appeared in patriarch Yao’s mind, he heard patriarch Chi say with a worried expression,””Yao family head, the Yao family members have also been poisoned. Let’s quickly go and take a look at the situation!”

“We have to go over and take a look! Hurry up and lead the way!” Without giving master Yao a chance to speak, master ning rushed to say. When the waiter heard this, he didn’t dare to delay and immediately turned to run. Master ning and the others quickly followed.

At this time, the poisoned people were gathered in the hall, so that it would be convenient for The Alchemist to treat them.

After seeing the various family heads, the head Alchemist of the Yao family, Zong Yun, who was in charge of this matter, politely saluted them. Then, he anxiously said to the Yao family head,”Master, the area affected by the poison is very wide. Not only that, but the poison is also contagious. Therefore, we must immediately isolate the poisoned people! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

“It’s that serious? What about the four of us? Do we need to isolate them?” When the master of the ning family heard this, he became anxious. He didn’t care if this was the Yao family or not, and directly asked.

“The people from your four families don’t need to be quarantined. They’ve already been poisoned and have developed a certain resistance to it. Therefore, the poison can’t infect them. However, this poison is quite dangerous for us who haven’t been poisoned yet. So, the Yao family’s poisoned people must be quarantined immediately!” Zong Yun’s face was filled with pain.

“If that’s the case, then what are you waiting for? hurry up and act!” The master of the ning family urged.

“That’s right! Hurry up! For the sake of our safety, we can’t delay any further. Don’t you agree, Yao family head?” Even at this moment, patriarch Cheng still didn’t forget to ask for patriarch Yao’s opinion.

When the Yao family head heard this, he nodded his head and immediately ordered Zong Yun and the others,”Zong Yun, you will be fully responsible for this matter! You alchemists have a much better understanding of poison than us. We really can’t help you!”

“Family head, you are the ancestor and backbone of the Yao family. Therefore, these poisoned people need your comfort and encouragement. If you can stay here and accompany them, I think they will be able to cheer up!” After listening to the Yao family head’s words, Zong Yun suddenly said. After saying that, he even looked at the Yao family head with an expression of anticipation.

“Old man Yao, what Zong Yun said is reasonable. Your Yao family has been poisoned too seriously, if you, the old ancestor, can stay here to accompany them, their fighting spirit will be even higher. So, for the sake of the Yao family, you should stay here! We won’t be accompanying you! However, we will support you in spirit!” Master ning patted master Yao’s shoulder and said earnestly. In fact, he had been laughing inside. This time, the old man of the Yao family was so depressed that he was about to cry! How did Zong Yun come up with such a good idea?

In fact, what Zong Yun said was the truth.

He sincerely hoped that the Yao family head could stay, because the Yao family members would really need his comfort. Only then would their will to live be stronger! However, he wasn’t sure if the head of the Yao family would go to this extent for the Yao family, which was why he made such a request in front of everyone. In any case, whether the other party agreed or not, it didn’t have much to do with him, but it was of great importance to the head of the Yao family and the Yao family!

In front of so many family heads and elders, the head of the Yao family naturally could not refuse. Therefore, after he heard Zong Yun’s suggestion and the words of the head of the ning family, his face looked as if he was constipated, extremely ugly!

But he still nodded in agreement!

After all, in this case, if he refused because he was afraid of being infected, he would be despised by others. Wouldn’t the image that he had painstakingly built up for so many years all be in vain?

In fact, he no longer had any image in other people’s hearts, but he would never admit it!

Just like that, the head of the Yao family was forced to stay behind, while the other healthy people quickly left the hall.

The other Masters followed the master of the ning family to the ning family’s guest house.

Sitting in the living room of the guest house, the master of the Cheng clan sighed gloomily.””AI! A good banquet was actually ruined by a sudden outbreak of poison. It’s really a pity!”

“What’s there to pity? you should be glad that the Yao family was poisoned. Otherwise, after this banquet ends, we will be on the list of poisoned people!” The master of the ning family said with lingering fear.

“That’s true! But now, if we don’t eat the Yao family’s food or drink the Yao family’s water, we might be infected with the poison. Don’t you think we should move out to be safer? Please don’t trap us all! Otherwise, we’ll lose too much!” The head of the Cheng clan said.

His words resonated with the other family heads. They didn’t want to be implicated by the Yao family! In their opinion, the Yao family had clearly offended someone! Otherwise, why would they poison them and even implicate the ning family and the rest!

“Then should we move out?” Glancing at the expressions of the Masters present, the master of the ning family probed.

“I agree!”

“I agree!”

Very quickly, the other six family heads all expressed their agreement to move out.

Then, they sent someone to inform the ninth elder of the Yao family and explained their decision.

Hearing this, the ninth elder of the Yao family immediately panicked.

At this time, if the Yao clan were to really ask the other seven clan heads to move out, then the news of the Yao clan being poisoned would probably spread throughout the entire divine realm by tomorrow. Especially since their poison was infectious! If things went wrong, the entire Yao family’s divine territory might be boycotted by all the major forces! Therefore, he could not allow such a thing to happen!

Before he could report to the master, the ninth elder of the Yao family had rushed to find the master of the ning family.

Seeing the ninth elder of the Yao family sweating profusely, the master of the ning family and the others naturally knew what he was here for. But this time, they didn’t want to compromise. After all, this wasn’t their own business.

Elder Yao Jiu tried his best to say good things, but the ning family head and the other seven family heads just wouldn’t give in. Helpless, elder Yao Jiu could only look for Zong Yun. He also wanted Zong Yun to persuade them to stay.

When Zong Yun received this mission, he was in a difficult position. In fact, although the people carrying the infectious toxin were already under control, he couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be any more people in the Yao family who would be infected. After all, the poison in the Yao family had a certain latent period!
