I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 928 - 927 Pill Toxin, Contradiction

"The mastermind, is there any clue?" Lui Yu furrowed his brow and asked.

"We’ve been keeping a low profile ever since we arrived in the Immortal City and haven’t offended anyone."

The elder shook his head and said, "However, someone did approach us for cooperation a while ago, which I rejected.

I don’t know if they might be behind this."

"Then let’s do this—in a little while, I’ll visit the three major suppliers and test the waters," Lui Yu said.

The group then discussed some more details.

After coming out of the private room, there seemed to be some commotion downstairs, as it was quite noisy.

The elder frowned slightly and quickly went downstairs.

...

"Everyone, come and look, these Pills from Myriad Pill Hall have killed someone!"

"Exactly, they’re trying to shirk responsibility. Such unscrupulous merchants should be driven out of our Immortal City."

"Never come to Myriad Pill Hall to buy anything again."

The ground floor was thrown into chaos as several men shouted aloud.

Crowds of people surrounded the entrance of Myriad Pill Hall, peering inside.

When Xu Zimei came downstairs, she saw a corpse lying at the entrance of Myriad Pill Hall.

Two women were crying over the body.

"What happened?" Uncle Fu stepped forward, his brow furrowed, and asked.

"Shopkeeper, this person claims that the Pills from Myriad Pill Hall have killed someone and they have come for compensation," a maid selling Pills promptly came forward to explain.

"Killed someone?" Uncle Fu’s brow furrowed even deeper.

"Are you the manager?" Seeing Uncle Fu come out, the leading man stepped forward and questioned.

"Where are the Pills, let me see them," Uncle Fu asked indifferently.

The man handed over the Pills, which were contained in a transparent bottle.

There was a mark with the character "Fan" on it.

Uncle Fu took the bottle and sniffed it near his nose.

"Failure," he snorted coldly.

"This Pill is a complete failure, full of Pill Toxin. How could anyone consume it?"

"So you admit that Myriad Pill Hall sells Pills tainted with Pill Toxin," the man shouted to the onlookers at the entrance.

"I’m merely pointing out that there’s a problem with the Pills, but it’s not necessarily from Myriad Pill Hall," Uncle Fu said calmly.

"Every batch of our Pills undergoes strict inspection; how could they possibly contain such Pill Toxin?

When did you buy these Pills?"

"Yesterday afternoon at five, you can check it," the man said.

"You’re not trying to shirk the blame, are you?"

"He did come to buy Pills, but I remember the Pills were fine at the time," the maid selling Pills at the side replied.

Uncle Fu slighted furrowed his brow.

Then he said, "If Pills sold by Myriad Pill Hall have any quality issues or cause any accidents, we are fully responsible.

But as you know, there are rules for all Pill Halls.

Any fifth-grade Pills are traded face-to-face within the store, and we take no responsibility once you leave."

"What do you mean, now someone’s dead and you want to avoid responsibility?" the man yelled.

Several other burly men next to him also started to stir up noise.

Some were even trying to smash things in the shop.

"Should we just compensate them some amount and have them leave?"

A maid dressed in green softly suggested.

"This is bad for our shop’s business and reputation."

"These matters are black and white—you either compensate fully or not at all," Fan Luoyu shook his head and said.

"If we compensate, no matter the amount, it means we admit to selling Pills with Pill Toxin."

The maid dressed in green nodded slightly.

"Everyone should leave now, or don’t blame me for having you thrown out," Uncle Fu said in an unfriendly tone.

"Look at this, everyone—the true face of Myriad Pill Hall.

Would you dare to come here to buy pills in the future?" the man shouted loudly.

"I’m just an ordinary person, I can’t compare with your Myriad Pill Hall.

But I’m willing to set an example and seek justice. We must not encourage this behavior."

Just when the standoff continued, suddenly, a woman in blue burst forth from outside.

"Lui Yu, you came to Immortal City and didn’t even give me a heads-up. Do you even consider me a good sister?"

The woman in blue ran in, her eyes lighting up as she spotted Fan Luoyu, and she walked over.

Her blue garment was entwined with several ribbons, tightly fitted, especially around her long, slender legs.

Tall and lithe.

Her features carried a heroic air, somewhat reminiscent of a female martial artist.

"Mu Qing," Fan Luoyu called out upon seeing the woman in blue.

"It wasn’t intentional, you know I had business in Immortal City."

"I know, you’re a busy person now," Mu Qing replied.

Then she looked around and asked, "What’s this?

Why are so many people gathered here?"

The maidservant beside her briefly explained the situation.

"That’s simple," the woman in blue laughed and walked over to the man.

"Mu Qing, don’t cause trouble," Fan Luoyu quickly warned her.

Before she could finish speaking, a loud "boom" was heard.

The woman in blue had punched the man to the ground.

She drew her longsword and placed it at the man’s throat, asking, "Tell me, who sent you to cause trouble?"

"What are you trying to do?" Fear flashed in the man’s eyes as he yelled again.

"Everyone look! They’ve become enraged and now they’re trying to frame us."

The scene outside the shop was already noisy.

But the woman in blue was not in a hurry, she looked at the man and chuckled, "That won’t work on me; I’ve lived in this Immortal City for over twenty years and seen all kinds of people."

She swung the sword in her hand slowly, and in a flash, blood sprayed out.

An arm was brutally severed.

The same question, I don’t want to ask a second time.

Next time it’ll be your head," the woman in blue said.

"Who sent you?"

The man was too shocked to move, let alone speak.

Watching the woman in blue grow impatient, the hum of the sword resonated as the blade hovered in mid-air.

"It was the City Lord Mansion—the people from the City Lord Mansion paid me to frame Myriad Pill Hall."

The sword halted, and the man’s shout echoed in the void.

"Bullshit, you better tell the truth and not slander the City Lord Mansion," the woman in blue said with a cold gaze.

"I’m not lying to you, it really was the City Lord Mansion’s butler who ordered me to do this," the man quickly said.

"Do you know who I am?" Mu Qing asked indifferently.

"I don’t," the man studied her for a moment and replied.

"You’re in this Immortal City and yet you do not know who I am?" Mu Qing said with a light laugh.

"I really don’t," the man continued to shake his head.

"My name is Mu Qing, I am the daughter of the City Lord Mu Chengmiao. Do you need me to explain in more detail?" Mu Qing said with a smile.

Hearing Mu Qing’s words, the man’s face turned pale.

"Do you still not intend to confess?" Mu Qing said.

"I think it’s necessary to have a talk with the people from the City Lord Mansion."
