8. General Conference on Toxicology (I)

Chu Ming touched his butt. It must have swelled up a little now. He looked at Hundred Spirit who was laughing and said angrily, "How can you speak nonsense and hurt my butt!"

Without waiting for Hundred Spirit to speak, Lu Zeng scolded her first: "Stinking brat, you actually have the nerve to say it. Didn't you say the Hundred Spirit House would agree? You deserved it!"

Hundred Spirit nodded with a smile, as if she was having fun.

"Humph!" Chu Ming turned his head and angrily laid on the bed.

Lu Zeng shook his head and asked Hundred Spirit's question, "Where is your father?"

Hundred Spirit said, "He's in a meeting with his uncles. It seems that he's planning to show off his old face this time, hehe."

Lu Zeng was surprised, "What? Brother Xue wants to participate in this poison conference?"

Hundred Spirits nodded and said, "Where did Grandpa Lu go? The entire Cyan Plains City is ready to go."

Chu Ming added in an exasperated tone: "He probably went to eat some fresh grass! "Humph!"

When Lu Zeng heard this, he became a little angry and said, "Brat, do you think your butt is too small or something? Do you want to continue to grow bigger? "

Chu Ming turned his head and didn't look over.

Lu Zeng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with this little brat. I'm too used to smelly my mouth!" Then he sat on a chair at the side and said, "Your father and brother Ping Jie grew up together. In terms of friendship, you probably don't want to get involved, which is why your father often resides in the Poison King's Valley and disregards the matters of the Azure Province's Du and Du Clan. This time, when Xue Nei and his brother return to Qingzhou, they will definitely push him onto the stage. It's not good, it's not good. "

The Hundred Spirit House asked in confusion, "What do you mean not good? It's just a test. "

Lu Zeng shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. In the past, when Little Brother Xue Nei was not around, there was still an excuse and a reason, even though the Du Family had always been suppressed by the Du Family. But this time, Little Brother Xue Nei has already taken the last step out of the valley, and in order to protect his family's face, Xue Nong will not show any mercy, and Little Brother Ping is not like your father who has always been looking for an opportunity to compete with Little Brother Xue Nong.

Bailing looked at Lu Zeng in disbelief, then said, "How could that be? Daddy is so close with Uncle Bian Jie."

Lu Zeng bitterly smiled and said: "I hope I'm worrying about nothing."

"..."

Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Ming heard someone knocking at his door. He looked around and saw Lu Ceng had already opened the door. Standing in front of the door was Wind Rider, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Chengfeng smiled at Chu Ming and said a few words to Lu Zeng before leaving.

Lu Zeng closed the door and yawned, wanting to go back to sleep.

Chu Ming rubbed his eyes and said, "What are you doing here, Uncle Cheng?"

Lu Zeng disdainfully said, "I came to say goodbye."

"Farewell?" Chu Ming was slightly surprised because he knew that Chengfeng had spent a lot of time and effort to find out about Xiaoxiao, but because of Lu Zeng and Chu Ming's little intelligence, he hadn't been able to find anything. However, he had followed them here before giving up.

Lu Zeng let out a sigh and said: "All good things must come to an end. It's better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might lose our guard and end up getting too close to each other."

Chu Ming curled his lips and said, "Then I won't have roasted chicken to eat in the future!"

Lu Zeng fiercely glared at him and said: "Stinking brat, your mouth is so kind. One day, you will definitely kill yourself because of that mouth of yours. Hmph!"

Chu Ming lazily turned around and said, "I'm actually quite willing to die from holding on."

Lu Zeng no longer paid any attention to him. This child's support was simply unreasonable.

Chu Ming saw that Lu Qun had gone back to sleep, so he felt bored. He turned around and also fell asleep.

At the end of the day, the two of them got up and washed their faces in turn.

Lu Zeng spoke first: "Tomorrow, will you be able to attend the poison meeting at noon?"

After Chu Ming wiped his face, he exhaled and said, "There are always good things like watching from the sidelines. Aren't we going to find Uncle Bian Jie to treat the poison for me?"

Lu Zeng sighed, and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. You better pray that your poison will act up slowly. The later the better."

Chu Ming threw his face scarf to the side and said, "You just like to worry about nothing! "Alright, if we don't go now, won't we be unable to witness this grand gathering?"

Lu Zeng patted his clothes and said, "Alright, let's go. I also want to see the Poison Hall that we haven't seen in years."

The two of them walked out of the guest room and went downstairs, heading towards the central plaza of Qingzhou City.

This Poison Hall was held every three years. Previously, Liu Dong, the father of the Qingzhou Marquis Liu Ming, had come to testify for the poison. However, a few years ago, Liu Dong passed away due to illness. The Duke of Qingzhou, Liu Ming, had also become a notary of the Poison Hall every three years, just like his father.

The method of sparring in the Poison Hall was different from that in the martial arts arena. The rule was that each side could only send one member to the stage at a time, and then the notary, the Duke of Qingzhou, would send one prisoner to jail. On the other hand, the doctors had to resuscitate the prisoners on the death row for an incense stick of time. The doctors could use force to make the other party unable to make a move, and the Du Family could use force to disrupt the doctors from treating the prisoners who had already been poisoned. If the prisoner did not die after one incense stick of time, then the doctor would win. If the prisoner died from poisoning, then the Du Clan would win. Thus, the competition at the Poison Hall was not only about medical skills and poison techniques, but more importantly, martial arts also needed to be strong. If not, he would be unable to withstand the other party's attacks.

The Du Family could not afford to lose this time. Hence, they invited Xue Nai from the Poison Valley, hoping to use this generation's Poison King to suppress Bian Jie.

"Wow, there's still so many people!" Chu Ming looked at the densely packed crowd in front of him and said, "What do you think? Shall we go find Uncle Xue? "

Lu Zeng looked at him and said, "Damn brat, you're always thinking of taking advantage of me!"

"What's wrong with that? We're all familiar with each other anyway!" A deep male voice came from behind Chu Ming and Lu Zeng.

Lu Ceng and Chu Ming turned to see a middle-aged man in a black robe. His strong body exuded a domineering aura, and his long black hair covered one side of his face. Behind this man was a large group of people. They all had serious expressions on their faces and were all very muscular. It seemed that they were some of the best in the martial arts world.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "You really are Uncle Xue Nai. It's been so many years since we last met that you've become much more heroic!"

That's right, this black-clothed man was Poison King Xue Nei.

Xue Nong laughed, "Tomorrow, you really have grown up. Even your speech is a bit arrogant. "Haha, children are worth teaching."

Chu Ming smiled embarrassedly. Xue Nai was a person that Chu Ming respected. Not only because of his exceptional martial arts, but also because of the different domineering aura he revealed from time to time.

Seeing his old friend, Lu Zeng walked over and asked, "How have you been?"

Xue Nei saw that Lu Zeng was also very enthusiastic and said: "Don't mention it for so many years. It is my honor to meet Mister Lu again!"

Lu Zeng cupped his hands together and said, "Brother Xue, you are being too courteous. Do you really need to praise this nameless old man so much?"

Xue Nei waved his hand and said, "Why does a certain someone's every word have to be flattery? Moreover, Mister Lu had a shallow reputation. He had helped someone many times and this person would never be able to repay him in his entire life. Let's not talk about fame and fortune. Even if the Sky Emperor himself were here, Ouyang Yu, the monk with the broken ring, Dugu Qiye, and Gongshan Jiu, they still wouldn't be able to compare to you! "

"He killed this old man! He really killed this old man!" Lu Zeng waved his hand and smiled, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about such red tape anymore."

Xue Nai also smiled and said, "Is Mister Lu here to watch this poison gathering?"

Lu Zeng was not in a hurry to speak, but Chu Ming stuck his head out and said: "Yeah, but there are a lot of people here. We can't get in anyway."

Xue Nei laughed out loud. He patted Chu Ming's head and said: "What's there to worry about? I'll follow this. I'll take the best seat for you!"

Chu Ming happily ran towards Xue Nai's group. He didn't expect that someone would catch him just after walking a few steps. He turned around and saw that it was actually Xue Bailing. Xue Bailing held Chu Ming's right hand tightly, then raised it behind him again and again, causing Chu Ming to scream out in pain.

Xue Bei Ling giggled and said: "Little pervert, you really tried to get close to me! You dare to stand behind my father? You are truly shameless! "

Chu Ming was furious in his heart, but he did not care about Xue Nai's face and softly said, "My dear lady, be gentle, your hand is about to break! Besides, is there any difference! "

Hundred Spirit's laughter rang out: "Of course, those who are standing behind my father are all experts of the Du Family, how can it be your turn! "Come, stand behind me!" Then, he pulled Chu Ming and ran towards the back of the line.

Chu Ming was inexplicably grabbed. He was dragged all the way to the very back of the line before Hundred Spirit began to let go. When he saw that Xue Nei was already far away, he released his voice and said: "If you treat me like this, then I'll call you molester!"

Hundred Spirit was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "You can shout, shout, and shout at the top of your lungs!" As he spoke, he pinched Chu Ming's cheek.

Chu Ming was pinched so hard that it hurt. He could only beg, "Be gentle .." Hundred Spirit's eyes were filled with tears as she laughed.

Just like that, the two of them followed the large group into the Du Family's camp.
