Qin Lu held Nan Yan’s hand, giving her a reassuring look. “Don’t worry, even if this place is like a fortress, no one can stop us from leaving.”
“Okay.”
Because the courtyard was filled with poisonous things, Nan Yan and her companions didn’t walk fast. Along the path leading deeper into the courtyard, poisonous substances were everywhere. Even the garden didn’t contain flowers but various poisonous plants.
Among the numerous poisonous plants, Nan Yan even saw many highly toxic species, some of which she had only read about in records and thought had disappeared in reality.
Thinking of her Second Master Sun Chan, who owned the Hundred Herb Garden, Nan Yan felt that the Third Young Master of the Sheng family must own a Hundred Poison Garden.
Just from this, it was evident that this Third Young Master was a poison doctor.
“With so many houses here, in which house is the Third Young Master waiting for us?” Gu Chen, who had been walking at the back all along due to his weaker strength, was under the protection of the other three.
Nan Yan casually took out her phone. “Let’s make a call and find out.”
“Right…”
Gu Chen was too nervous to remember this.
Nan Yan dialed the number Sheng Jing had given her.
Soon, the call was answered.
“Mr. Sheng, we’ve arrived at the Azure Water Garden. Where are you?”
“You’ve gone to the Azure Water Garden?” Sheng Jing’s voice sounded slightly anxious. “Miss Nan, how did you end up at the Azure Water Garden?”
Nan Yan frowned. “The person you sent to pick us up said you were waiting for us at the Azure Water Garden.”
“I was waiting for you to contact me after you arrived, I didn’t send anyone to pick you up…” Sheng Jing paused for a moment before asking, “Are you already inside the Azure Water Garden or at the gate?”
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes and looked around. “We’re inside the Azure Water Garden.”
Sheng Jing said urgently, “Don’t go any further. Retreat towards the gate. I’ll come find you now!”
“Miss Nan, your current situation is very dangerous. Don’t act recklessly. The Azure Water Garden is full of poisonous substances. A slight mistake could be fatal. Be careful.”
Nan Yan asked calmly, “How far are you from the Azure Water Garden?”
“About fifteen minutes away.”
“Do you mind if I cause some damage to the Azure Water Garden for my own safety?”
“It’s okay, your safety is the most important thing.”
With his permission, Nan Yan calmly responded with a ‘got it’ and hung up the phone.
After Nan Yan hung up, Fu Yubai asked, “Junior Sister, what’s going on?”
Nan Yan put her phone back in her pocket and flexed her wrist.
“The man who was supposed to pick us up at the town gate wasn’t arranged by Sheng Jing. We’ve been deceived.”
“Be careful, something is approaching us.”
Without Nan Yan’s reminder, Qin Lu and Fu Yubai, with their heightened senses, had already heard the sound of something crawling on the ground.
The three of them adjusted their positions instinctively, protecting Gu Chen in the middle, ready to face the imminent danger.
In less than a minute, they saw countless colorful snakes.
Snakes were crawling out everywhere, on the ground, in the garden, and among the greenery along the paths.
Gu Chen’s face turned pale at the sight. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “You don’t need to worry about me, just go!”
He knew he was a burden. Besides cultivating medicinal herbs, he was useless. This place was already very dangerous, and protecting him would only endanger them!
Fu Yubai drew a short blade from behind his waist and chuckled lightly. “What are you nervous about? It’s just a few snakes, nothing to fear.”
Nan Yan slowly rotated a silver metal bracelet on her wrist.
With a light click, the bracelet sprung open, transforming into a weapon.
“Third Brother is right, no need to be nervous, just a small scene.”
Gu Chen looked at the sea of snakes and thought to himself: “…”
This was still considered a small scene?
Then what would be a big scene?
These snakes looked like highly toxic species. One bite and it would probably be game over!
Could they, with just one small dagger each, handle so many snakes?
And then, he saw Qin Lu casually pull out a gun…
When Sheng Jing arrived at the Azure Water Garden and opened the door, he expected to see a few faces filled with panic and anxiety. However, what he saw in front of him shocked him.
Nan Yan and her group were standing about thirty meters away from the gate, looking as composed as ever. But beside their feet lay a thick layer of snake corpses! Some were split in half, while others had been struck in the vital points by Qin Lu’s ray gun. Even the two giant pythons, as thick as water buckets, had not escaped death’s punishment. Their bodies, over ten meters long, still showed signs of struggle and despair before their demise.
The group had nearly wiped out the snake population that had turned the Azure Water Garden into a forbidden place. Despite being the instigators, they hadn’t a single drop of blood on them. Instead, they appeared quite relaxed and at ease, without a hint of turmoil.
After his initial surprise, Sheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief. They were fine, which was the best outcome. He collected himself and walked over to them.
“Miss Nan, I’m sorry for startling you,” Sheng Jing expressed his apology humbly. It was he who had called them here, and they were disciples of the renowned Divine Physician. If anything had happened to them, he would have felt guilty.
“I will give you an explanation for this,” Nan Yan had already quickly transformed the weapon in her hand back into a bracelet and put it on her wrist as Sheng Jing opened the door. With a few drops of snake blood staining her fair hands, she casually brushed her hair and looked him straight in the eye. “Mr. Sheng, there’s no rush for explanations. We’d like to see my masters first.”
After getting a clear look at Nan Yan, Sheng Jing’s expression softened after a moment of astonishment.
“Then come with me.”
When they left the Azure Water Garden, Sheng Jing’s transportation was parked outside—a majestic and powerful sweat-blood horse!
Nan Yan and her group exchanged looks.
He was going to ride alone. What about them? Walk on their two legs?
Seeing their predicament, Sheng Jing asked, “How did you come here?”
Nan Yan gestured towards the direction outside the town. “The car is parked outside.”
“In that case, drive in. The roads here can accommodate vehicles. Although it’s rare for people here to drive, it’s not impossible.”
Being able to drive here was the best solution.
Nan Yan’s group went back outside the town to fetch the car.
After they left, the warmth on Sheng Jing’s face faded, and his gaze turned towards the corner of the Azure Water Garden.
Hidden there was Chen Si, the man who had led Nan Yan and her group astray and had plotted against them. He quickly withdrew his head as soon as he saw the Third Young Master coming.
“Come here.”
Sheng Jing’s voice was not loud, but it brooked no refusal.
Chen Si couldn’t help but regret in his heart. Why didn’t he run away as soon as he saw the Third Young Master? Why did he insist on staying here to watch?
This was bad!
He dared not flee and could only endure the fear, forcing himself to walk up to Sheng Jing.
“Third Young Master,” Chen Si kept his head low, his voice trembling, “Are you looking for me?”
Sheng Jing directly raised his horse whip and fiercely lashed him three times.
With each strike, Chen Si’s flesh split open, and after three lashes, his whole body was drenched in blood.
But Chen Si didn’t dare to dodge. Even though he was trembling all over, his vision was darkening, he gritted his teeth and endured.
“Go back and tell Sheng Yuanhang that if he doesn’t give me an explanation for this, I won’t hesitate to go find him myself.”
Chen Si kept his head low, enduring the pain. “Yes, Third Young Master!”
“Now get lost.”
“Yes.”
