Visit the Poison King

Xiao Feng ignored the attitude of the people around them and looked directly at Mo Cheng, asking if the Poison Emperor was still resting in his residence.

Mo Cheng nodded, and Xiao Feng immediately took Zhao Yuwei and left gracefully.

When Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei arrived as quickly as possible outside the room where the Poison Emperor was currently staying, they saw that many people had gathered in the courtyard.

Most of these people were very familiar to Xiao Feng, and he had even joked and played around with them before, as they were all the Poison Emperor's confidants.

Their attitude toward Xiao Feng remained very good, but they tacitly stopped calling Xiao Feng "Son-in-law," instead using the way Mo Cheng addressed him, calling him Young Master.

Xiao Feng spoke directly: "Everyone, no need for formalities. I heard that my foster father was poisoned, so I rushed back to see his current condition. Since you are all guarding here, you must know about his current state."

Hearing Xiao Feng say this, the crowd looked at one another and shook their heads in unison.

The Poison Emperor's condition was not good. He had been struck by a potent poison, and so far, no one had been able to neutralize it, nor could they find a way to detoxify him.

To be blunt, the Poison Emperor was an expert in using poisons. The fact that even he could be poisoned by this toxin was enough to prove that it was extraordinary.

Xiao Feng clearly thought of this as well. He did not waste any more time talking here and went straight inside to take a look.

Since returning to the Ming Cult, Xiao Feng could feel that most people were intentionally or unintentionally scrutinizing Zhao Yuwei.

Even the malicious gazes that some people tried hard to hide were detected by Xiao Feng.

Even though this was the Poison Emperor's territory, the Poison Emperor was currently poisoned, and Xiao Feng did not dare to leave Zhao Yuwei alone outside. Therefore, Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei's hand and entered the room.

Within the crowd, there were clearly a few people whose eyes revealed a faint disgust toward Zhao Yuwei.

Seeing that Xiao Feng was about to bring Zhao Yuwei into the room, the other party immediately wanted to speak up to "kindly" remind Xiao Feng.

But before the words left his mouth, he was stopped by the person beside him.

This person had originally wanted to tell Xiao Feng to keep a low profile and remember his identity; even if he had a conflict with Su Xueqing, he was still the son-in-law of the Ming Cult.

He could have a romantic entanglement with Zhao Yuwei, but he could not let Zhao Yuwei step on Su Xueqing.

But this person did not expect that before he could even speak, he would be pulled back by the person beside him.

That person whispered a warning in his ear: "Don't stir up trouble! It's already good enough that Young Master Xiao could come back!"

The person spoke somewhat reluctantly: "Even so, you know who is currently in our Poison Emperor's room. If he takes that Miss Zhao inside and accidentally angers our Saintess, what should we do?"

The subordinate who pulled him rolled his eyes and said directly: "This is not for you to worry about. The Young Master came back just to visit the Poison Emperor."

"Don't tell me you don't know why the Young Master didn't leave Miss Zhao outside. Isn't it because the entire Ming Cult has a problem with their attitude toward Miss Zhao?"

The person who had originally wanted to speak still wanted to argue something, but he could only reluctantly shut his mouth.

Xiao Feng naturally noticed that someone had just wanted to stop him from bringing Zhao Yuwei into the room.

Xiao Feng did not intend to pay any attention to it.

But the moment Xiao Feng and the others pushed the door open and entered, their eyes met with Su Xueqing, who was also in the room.

Xiao Feng remembered that Mo Cheng had told him that due to a traitor within the Ming Cult, both Su Xueqing and the Poison Emperor had been seriously injured.

Xiao Feng had assumed that Su Xueqing should be resting in her own courtyard, but he did not expect her to be here with the Poison Emperor.

An awkward atmosphere filled the space between the six of them.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stood at the doorway, neither entering nor retreating.

Fortunately, the Poison Emperor spoke up to break the awkwardness: "You have returned."

Hearing the Poison Emperor's voice, Xiao Feng pursed his lips and lowered his head, pulling Zhao Yuwei toward the Poison Emperor.

Xiao Feng could feel Su Xueqing's gaze fixed on him, but he was unwilling to acknowledge her, so he just pretended she didn't exist.

Although the Poison Emperor's body was weak, he had not reached the point of being unconscious.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed to the side, his face dark and greenish, waving at Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.

"Come quickly, I haven't seen you for a long time." The Poison Emperor said, coughing lightly twice as he spoke.

Zhao Yuwei's hand gave Xiao Feng a slight push from behind, and Xiao Feng stepped forward, walking quickly to the Poison Emperor's bedside.

"Foster father." Xiao Feng called out in a worried voice.

"I am fine, just poisoned. You don't need to worry too much. Tell me quickly, where have you been all this time? Ever since you entered that Secret Realm, I felt that you had gone to a very distant place in an instant."

The Poison Emperor held Xiao Feng's hand and had him sit on the edge of the bed, asking him with concern.

Xiao Feng told the Poison Emperor everything about his time in the Monster Realm, from beginning to end.

"You mean to say that from that newly opened Secret Realm, you accidentally ended up in the Yao Race's territory?" Wu Hai frowned deeply.

"Son does not know what kind of place that was. It took a great deal of effort to get out of there, and only after coming out did we realize we had already reached the hinterland of the Monster Realm."

Xiao Feng said helplessly.

The worry between Wu Hai's brows eased slightly.

He naturally knew about the things Su Xueqing had done.

But Wu Hai did not expect that even though he had personally given Su Xueqing a hint, she still refused to repent.

Wu Hai had thought that Xiao Feng was truly tired of the Ming Cult and wanted to escape, which was why he had used some unknown method to completely distance himself from the Ming Cult's sphere of control.

Now, hearing what Xiao Feng meant, it seemed he had also had an accident, which was why he went to the Monster Realm.

Moreover, the fact that Xiao Feng rushed back so anxiously after learning about his situation proved that he still had some feelings for him.

But Xiao Feng did not wait for Wu Hai to do anything else; he stepped forward and gripped Wu Hai's wrist to check his pulse.

"This toxin of mine is very powerful. I didn't expect them to be able to obtain such a peculiar poison. I am clear about my own situation; you don't need to worry too much. Since you are back, just get some good rest. Don't get involved in the affairs of the Ming Cult."

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised to hear Wu Hai say this.

He remembered Mo Cheng telling him that it was Wu Hai who hoped he could come back to help preside over the big picture. Why was his foster father now saying not to get involved?

"Although I could vaguely feel that you might be thousands of miles away and guessed that you might be in the Monster Realm, I didn't expect Mo Cheng to actually find you. But why, child, did you not go to a safe place to hide for a while, instead insisting on running back to the Ming Cult?"

Wu Hai said with some concern.

Xiao Feng realized after a moment of thought that Mo Cheng must have acted on his own initiative. However, he did not regret coming back; he was definitely going to come back to find a way to save Wu Hai.
