Chapter 39 The Pact to Detoxify
As Qu Lingyan stuffed the pill into Wan Qian's mouth, the latter trembled in pain a moment later.
"this..."
When Wan Fu saw his father convulsing, he immediately stood up and shouted at Madam Wan.
But Madam Wan seemed oblivious, affectionately holding Qu Lingyan's hand.
"Young lady, your medical skills are superb."
"It's not medical skill; I just know what poison Master Wan was poisoned with."
As the two were laughing, Wan Fu suddenly pointed at his father.
"Dad...he...he's foaming at the mouth!"
"It's just detoxing, right, Miss Qu?"
Qu Lingyan nodded, while Madam Wan pushed Wan Fu aside and continued to ask.
"Then what kind of poison is this, and who wants to harm him?"
The poison Wan Qian was afflicted with was indeed extremely rare; even martial arts practitioners would find it difficult to encounter.
Although Qu Lingyan has an eccentric personality, she doesn't put on airs in front of ordinary people.
"This poison is called 'Peerless Poison,' created by the Absolute Killing Sect a hundred years ago."
"The Gate of Despair?!"
Upon hearing the name of the Absolute Killing Sect, Madam Wan immediately clutched her heart, nearly fainting from fright.
"The kill order has reached Ghost's Door." Qian Xiaoyou muttered, "Uncle Wan received the kill order?"
Juesha Sect is a sect, but it is also an assassin organization.
Anyone who receives a "kill order" becomes a target for assassination by the Kill Order.
"No!" Madam Wan shook her head repeatedly. "Doesn't the Absolute Kill Sect say it only kills the guilty? My husband..."
Everyone looked at the unconscious Wan Qian, wondering what he had been doing outside.
"If it really is the Absolute Kill Sect, then..."
As Madam Wan spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she involuntarily leaned back.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan suddenly spoke up: "If the Absolute Killing Sect truly wanted to take Wan Yuanwai's life, they wouldn't use such a non-lethal poison, would they?"
Everyone thought it made some sense, and then Qu Lingyan said:
"That's right, the Peerless Poison isn't deadly because a hundred years ago, the Absolute Killing Sect didn't have the Absolute Killing Order."
"What do you mean?" Qian Xiaoyou asked, puzzled.
"That is to say, after the Kill Order was issued, the Kill Order Sect abandoned the non-lethal poisons in order to ensure that every attack was fatal."
At this point, Xiao Xuan suddenly had a guess.
Could the appearance of the kill order be related to those three time travelers?
Because this kind of thing is the best marketing for an assassin organization.
Before the Kill Order was issued, the Kill Order was completely ignored. But now, thanks to its high success rate of killing with every order and its reputation for eliminating evil, it has directly become one of the seven major sects.
"What Miss Qu means is that Master Wan did not receive the order to kill, but a disciple of the Killing Sect disapproved of Master Wan's behavior, so he punished him with a non-lethal poison."
When Xiao Xuan first met Qu Lingyan, Wan Qian appeared too suddenly, and Xiao Xuan didn't have a chance to observe him carefully.
Now, with the help of his abilities and some information about Qu Lingyan, he has figured out the whole story.
Xiao Xuan's explanation made everyone realize the truth, and even Qu Lingyan nodded in agreement.
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean."
"That's great, as long as there's no kill order..."
Madam Wan was terrified and quickly picked up her teacup to take a sip of water.
"Oh dear, why hasn't anyone poured tea for the young lady? This is extremely impolite! Someone, come here!"
"No need." Qu Lingyan waved her hand. "Today's medicine can only draw out the toxins. He will probably vomit and have diarrhea after he wakes up. I will give him another medicine tomorrow, and he should be fine."
Qu Lingyan then looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "I still don't know your name."
"Xiao Xuan".
"If you wish to see Granny Ling Snake, wait for me here at noon tomorrow."
Qu Lingyan turned to leave, and at that moment, the servants of the Wan family ran in.
"Madam! The McDonald's people are here!"
Madam Wan responded and suggested that Qu Lingyan stay at her home overnight, but Qu Lingyan refused.
"Then I'll see the young lady off. The assistants at McDonald's and such can handle things. Also, you all take good care of the master."
Madam Wan gave orders to the maids and then disappeared from everyone's sight with Qu Lingyan.
Judging from her expression, Xiao Xuan guessed that she probably wanted to ask about what Qu Lingyan had secretly told her.
"Let's go, Brother Xiao!"
After the two went out, Qian Xiaoyou also pulled Xiao Xuan and followed Wan Fu.
...
The group arrived at the room arranged for the Xuan Yang Sect member, where several men dressed as constables and carrying knives had already surrounded the room.
"Golden Arches is really impressive."
Qian Xiaoyou showed a longing expression, while Xiao Xuan chuckled a few times after seeing the constables.
This week, Renjie really had a wicked sense of humor. He noticed that all the McDonald's constables had a gold "M" embroidered on their uniforms.
"Brother Qian, what are those gold symbols on the chests of these constables?"
"Brother Xiao, have you never seen McDonald's?"
"No, we've never dealt with each other before."
"Every city has a branch of Golden Arches, and no matter where it is, the main entrance of Golden Arches is made of two golden arches, which were personally designed by the founding emperor."
"Truly magnificent."
Xiao Xuan glanced around and saw that these McDonald's constables were all martial artists at the fourth or fifth level, which meant they were only slightly stronger than ordinary constables.
These ordinary disciples of the branch didn't seem to have any connection with the divine constable Mai Shuangji.
Xiao Xuan was eager to know what happened after he fainted on the nameless island, and why McDonald's and Qi Family Army had disappeared when he woke up.
Unfortunately, these mysteries can only be solved later when they meet Mai Shuangji.
"My... sirs!"
The three of them came into the crowd, and Wan Fu stammered and couldn't explain himself clearly.
The leader looked slightly impatient and glanced at the three of them.
"Who are you?"
"This is the young master of the Wan family, the official we reported. My name is Qian Xiaoyou."
Upon hearing Qian Xiaoyou introduce himself, the constable's impatient expression vanished instantly, and he immediately cupped his hands and smiled:
"So it's you two young masters. We've heard there are cult members around?"
"That's right, this person should be a member of the Xuan Yang Sect, trying to trick Master Wan into taking the Xuan Yang Pill."
"How utterly despicable."
Qian Xiaoyou was a sociable man, and he explained the situation to the constables in just a few words.
After understanding the situation, the head constable immediately led his men in and captured the Xuan Yang Sect member alive within minutes.
The cult member didn't know martial arts, but kept shouting about raging fire and the true god, which suggested he was severely brainwashed.
"They are indeed members of the Xuan Yang sect. If you encounter someone like this again, be sure to report it to us immediately."
"I hope these cult members disappear as soon as possible, so they don't cause trouble for the adults."
The McDonald's staff happily led the cultist away from the Wan family, and after lingering for a while, Qian Xiaoyou and Xiao Xuan also planned to return to Fuzhou City.
"No...you're not staying for...dinner?"
"Forget it, you don't know my father. If I stay outside the city for too long, he might send someone to look for me."
"Too."
Xiao Xuan and Qu Lingyan agreed to meet again tomorrow, so he had already achieved his goal of finding someone who could cure the poison, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.
The two rode away from the Wan family manor.
As they walked along a forest path, Xiao Xuan asked:
"I've heard that McDonald's has seven top constables. Does Fuzhou have any top constables?"
"No, Brother Xiao, why do you ask that?"
"Of course I'm curious. I want to meet the legendary master constable."
"The Golden Arches constables are extremely mysterious. For wandering martial artists like us to meet one, we would need to be at least high-ranking ghostwriters."
"The ghostwriter?"
Xiao Xuan had heard of the profession of ghostwriter, which refers to a江湖人 (jianghu person) who apprehends wanted criminals for McDonald's.
The original owner had considered becoming a ghostwriter, but unfortunately, wanted criminals weren't easy to find.
"Brother Xiao, are you interested? The wanted posters in the Rumor Corner Monthly are all famous fugitives. If you can catch one, you might become a high-level ghostwriter."
At that time, not only will we be able to mobilize McDonald's constables, but perhaps even a renowned detective will personally come to us seeking cooperation.
Xiao Xuan shook his head. Since he didn't have a ghostwriter system, he wouldn't join in the fun.
Besides, it's not that simple; you might run into a wanted criminal as soon as you step outside.
Actually...
Just as Qian Xiaoyou was about to speak, a large axe flew out of nowhere and landed heavily in front of the two of them.
"This road is mine!"
