4: Poisoned in front of her, Wanmeng cooperated

[Front-row reminder: Mind Reading is fake, produced by the Peerless Charm Body, and has polished the inner voices!]

...Hallucinogenic Soul-Confusing Medicine, this is Jiang Lin's ultimate treasure!

A plot point that appears after two hundred chapters!

It successfully deceived the attention of the Medicine Immortal and schemed against Xiao Dong!

Although he was later turned around, the poisoning was successful!

As for... the method of poisoning, of course, he couldn't just sprinkle it himself.

The best way was for Xiao Dong to trigger it himself... Thinking of this, he looked at the Zhang Family Elder.

"Elder Zhang, show me the contract termination letter I asked you to prepare!"

As Jiang Lin's voice rang out, the Zhang Family Elder behind Zhang Wanmeng suddenly shuddered.

"Young Master Jiang, this... this is not appropriate!"

Jiang Lin didn't waste words and shot a look at his lackey, Jiang Liu, beside him.

The burly man Jiang Liu rushed forward and snatched the envelope from the old man's arms.

"Elder Zhang, it's just a contract termination letter; Young Master Jiang wouldn't harm me, right? From now on, follow Young Master Jiang's arrangements for everything, understand?"

Zhang Wanmeng's voice rang out.

Did the sun rise from the west?

Elder Zhang and Jiang Lin both looked at Zhang Wanmeng in surprise.

From the guest seat, surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes.

What's going on with this cold Young Miss in front of me?

Doesn't she find me the most annoying?

In my memory, she was like a block of ice; what's wrong now?

Why is she cooperating with me so much?

At this moment, Jiang Liu handed over the envelope.

Jiang Lin brushed aside the doubts in his mind, opened the envelope, and secretly sprinkled the poison inside.

"Wanmeng, since you said you'd listen to me, you'll hand this letter over personally in a bit. No problem, right?"

"Young Master Jiang, isn't this a bit much?"

Although Jiang Lin's poisoning technique was subtle, Zhang Wanmeng possessed the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart and Wisdom Eye; she saw the poisoning process at a glance.

"Wanmeng, what are you saying? I don't understand. Do you mean I should hand over the contract termination letter?"

Jiang Lin was calm on the surface, but in reality, he was wondering about Zhang Wanmeng's game plan.

According to the plot, seeing Jiang Lin poison it, she would definitely expose him on the spot.

Why was she being so cautious herself?

As if she was afraid of making Jiang Lin angry?

"Could it be that there's something about me she's afraid of?"

"Or is it that the Zhang Family Old Ancestor can't hold on any longer? Does the Zhang Family need something from me?"

"Or is her Revered Master about to die? Is something going wrong with the Qin Sect?"

Before Jiang Lin could think further, Zhang Wanmeng seemed to make a decision and snatched the envelope away.

"I'll give it. Isn't it just Xiao Dong who returned from a Small World? My Zhang Family can afford to offend him!"

This way, her favorability should definitely increase a lot!

At this moment, Zhang Wanmeng's goal was clear; for the sake of favorability, she would pay any price!

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Lin was also stunned.

He really couldn't understand Zhang Wanmeng's game plan anymore!

However, being so cooperative saved a lot of trouble!

[Ding! favorability +7. favorability has broken through 10 points. Obtaining first-stage reward. Randomly generating reward...]

As expected!

Seven favorability points added at once!

A good start!

[Ding! Obtained Elementary reward: Ancient Zither Score 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'!]

[Ding! Rank is Lower-Lower. Reward changed to the first section of the score!]

Instantly, a surge of information appeared in Zhang Wanmeng's mind.

What!?

Is it really the long-lost 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'!?

"No, I want all the chapters!"

Feeling the authenticity of the score, Zhang Wanmeng, being a Zither Fanatic, went completely crazy.

To have only obtained the first section of such a treasure made her heart ache incessantly.

[Ding! Please accumulate favorability or increase your evaluation Rank, Host!]

After a moment of losing control, Zhang Wanmeng quickly regained her composure. Now, she completely believed in the Favorability System in her mind.

In seven days, I must refresh my Rank.

I must obtain a top-tier nirvana pill to save Revered Master!

[Ding! First time obtaining a System reward. Extra reward: A three-hour trial of the Divine Ability 'Mind Reading' (Only effective on Jiang Lin)!]

What!?

The legendary Mind Reading?

Zhang Wanmeng was shocked!

If it were permanent, wouldn't I be able to keep Jiang Lin firmly under my thumb?

[Hmph, at least this silly girl knows what's good for her. It wasn't in vain that 'I' simped for her for so long!]

[After thinking for so long, everything is now ready, all we need is the final touch!]

[The Blood Loss Gu on my body must be dealt with today!]

[Silly woman, do you really think Xiao Dong is just some minor character who returned from a Small World?]

[You're already meat on his chopping block. Once he releases his overbearing aura, won't you obediently shatter your Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart and cultivate a Devoted Heart exclusively for him...]

All these inner thoughts entered Zhang Wanmeng's ears without Jiang Lin knowing a thing.

These are Jiang Lin's inner thoughts?

As expected!

Jiang Lin is not a playboy at all!

On the surface, he calls me 'Wanmeng' this and 'Wanmeng' that, but in reality, he's always thought of me as a silly woman!

His goal is actually to remove the Blood Loss Gu?

Isn't that thing incurable?

Was it planted by Xiao Dong?

Or someone else?

The way to cure the poison is through Xiao Dong?

As expected, none of this was for my sake!

It seems neither of these two is simple!

However,

What do you mean I'm meat on Xiao Dong's chopping block?

And shattering my Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart for him to cultivate a Devoted Heart?

Who do I, Zhang Wanmeng, think I am? Am I that cheap?

What on earth is in this Jiang Lin's head!?

Fine, fine, fine!

Originally, I still felt a sense of guilt for using you to farm favorability.

Now it seems there's really no need!

Let's see who's using whom!

Thinking of this, she squeezed the envelope in her hand.

And you call me stupid?

The poison inside is so obvious; once he opens the envelope, he'll notice it immediately.

You still want to poison that Xiao Dong?

I really don't know what's going on in your head.

Your core cultivation technique is the Grand Antiquity Poison Scripture, yet your poisoning method is so clumsy. How embarrassing!

Just then,

The Xiao Family Head, Xiao Yuan, led Xiao Dong into the reception hall.

Xiao Dong's looks were above average, far from being as handsome as Jiang Lin, but his eyes were exceptionally striking—steady and spirited. One could tell at a glance he was no ordinary person.

As soon as he entered the hall, he was captivated by Zhang Wanmeng's beauty.

A national beauty, a woman who could topple cities and nations.

Is this my fiancée... He looked at Jiang Lin on the side, and a thick surge of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes.

It was this wicked young master who heavily injured his father and forced Zhang Wanmeng to break the engagement.

Just now, this wicked young master had even spread this news everywhere, making the Xiao Family the laughingstock of everyone.

When the Blood Loss Gu matures tomorrow, you'll get what's coming to you!

At this time, Xiao Family Head Xiao Yuan went to greet the Zhang Family Elder.

"I heard Brother Zhang was visiting with Wanmeng, so I brought Dong'er to greet you. I didn't expect to be delayed by some business midway. My apologies!"

"No matter, no matter. The main reason for our visit this time is because of the engagement from back then..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan already knew what the Zhang Family Elder meant.

As expected, it's to break the engagement!

How could he be willing to break the engagement?

Once the engagement is gone, it's equivalent to directly giving up the great backing of the Zhang Family.

At that time, the Zhang Family would have no obligation to continue helping the Xiao Family.

Thus, he hurriedly spoke:

"Elder Zhang, Dong'er has just returned from a Small World. In truth, his talent and strength have no rivals among his generation, even far surpassing Xiao Zhan back in the day. One day, he will surely achieve great things!"

At this moment, the burly man behind Jiang Lin stood up directly.

"Old man of the Xiao Family, a coal ball from a Small World like him is worthy of being called unrivaled among his peers? Are you looking down on my Young Lord?"

"Young Miss Wanmeng has already been designated for my Young Lord. Just sign the contract termination letter obediently, or else your Xiao Family can disappear from the Nine Provinces World tomorrow!"
