It didn't take long!
Ye Xiao successfully summoned a righteous blind man and a curious scholar.
One after the other, they returned to the Ye Manor.
The scene inside the room!
Was clearly different from what Ye Xiao described.
In his account, he had escaped from the jaws of death with great difficulty and sought help.
But now!
A figure lay on the ground, with blood spilled like half a bowl.
The sight was truly pitiful!
It looked like a thief who failed and was shot in the head.
“Oh!”
“With all this blood, you'd think you were the thief and he was the good guy.”
Chu Yuan smiled.
With someone else taking care of this, he was too lazy to meddle. He enjoyed watching someone get shot in the head.
However,
While watching the spectacle, Chu Yuan didn’t forget to give a system identification to the person in front of him.
【Name: Master Fei】
【Identity: Head of the Third Division, Investigation Department】
【Cultivation: 7th Rank (Special 9th Rank)】
【Introduction: One of the main leaders of the Investigation Department, a master of poisons!】
Oh!
After all, a Special 9th Rank master of poisons being shot in the head by a four-year-old…
This kind of sight was rare!
Who would have thought?
The person in front of them was none other than the one known as the ruthless individual who couldn't defeat Grand Masters, but could make the world only have Grand Masters.
Master Fei!
…
…
Then, Chu Yuan's focus shifted to the cultivation column.
Special 9th Rank?
In other words, Master Fei's cultivation was only at the 7th Rank, but his actual strength was at the 9th Rank?
That was quite something!
Clearly, the reason why this person was taken down was most likely because he was too complacent towards Ye Xiao.
Otherwise!
With his skills in using poison, even a 9th Rank expert wouldn't be his match.
That’s how the world works!
Certain specific skills can give one the confidence to fight beyond their level.
And poison, of all things, is the most terrifying.
After all, everyone has weaknesses, even 9th Rank experts. Body resistance to poison is not something a 9th Rank can do.
In fact!
The Grand Masters of this world are the same. They possess extraordinary strength, but their bodies still have significant shortcomings.
…
After the blind man arrived!
He had the same reaction as Chu Yuan, being surprised by the identity of the person lying on the ground.
After checking Master Fei's pulse.
His tone was flat, and he simply said three words: “Not dead yet!”
Chu Yuan had already said that.
Therefore, Ye Xiao wasn’t surprised by this conclusion.
In fact!
He wasn't seeking out the blind man to discuss whether the person was dead or not, but to figure out how to deal with him.
“Sir, Uncle, do you know him?”
“Don’t know him!”
“Don’t remember!”
It was obvious!
Ye Xiao had asked the wrong people about the person's background.
After all, the two in front of him.
One was strictly adhering to the robot manual, never saying more than necessary, as if energy was precious. He was extremely economical with words.
And the other!
Although he knew everything, he was used to not saying anything.
Don't ask, it's a secret!
Therefore!
Ye Xiao could only wait helplessly for Master Fei to wake up and ask him then.
While waiting,
Chu Yuan and the blind man naturally wouldn't stand there with him.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding!
They turned and left.
This was the Ye Manor, and their identities clearly didn't make it suitable for them to stay here for long.
Since everything was fine, there was nothing to talk about.
Then!
As if they forgot the person lying on the ground, they turned and left.
Leaving him in Ye Xiao's room.
…
…
After leaving the Ye Manor!
Chu Yuan went straight to his own courtyard, but as he walked, he noticed something amiss.
It turned out!
For the first time, the blind man didn’t return to his general store.
He followed Chu Yuan home!
At this point!
Before Chu Yuan could ask, the blind man spoke first: "Who are you?"
Chu Yuan was taken aback!
But after only a moment's hesitation, he recovered his composure and replied calmly:
"My name is Chu Yuan, I am a refined scholar!"
"You have martial arts skills!" the blind man said coldly, "You are not a scholar!"
"Who says a scholar can't have martial arts skills?" Chu Yuan smiled.
"I'll ask you one last time, who are you?"
As he spoke!
The iron bar in his hand, which looked like a sword but wasn't, seemed to tighten in his grip, and a nameless pressure emanated from him.
As his words fell!
A strange energy seemed to lock onto Chu Yuan.
To this, Chu Yuan simply laughed it off: "Who else could I be, I'm the tutor at the Ye Manor."
"Why didn’t you save him earlier?" the blind man asked.
It was implied!
He was questioning why Chu Yuan hadn’t intervened and instead waited for Ye Xiao to call for help.
Moreover!
His natural intuition told him that Chu Yuan, the tutor, was not simple.
"How could I save him?"
Unbeknownst to him, Chu Yuan didn’t seem to care about the blind man's energy lock.
"Do you think my meager martial arts skills could beat anyone?"
"Besides, I'm a scholar. I'm not good at fighting and killing. I'm better at reporting to the officials."
The blind man didn’t speak.
He apparently agreed with Chu Yuan’s words.
…
Seeing this!
Chu Yuan laughed lightly and continued: "You seem to care a lot about Ye Xiao?"
"Then, who are you?"
The blind man remained expressionless!
He didn’t answer Chu Yuan's question, but the energy that was locking onto Chu Yuan quietly dissipated.
The blind man turned!
His expressionless face betrayed no thoughts: "Teach him well."
He said, then turned and left.
At that moment, Chu Yuan suddenly spoke: "When he wakes up, Ye Xiao might come looking for me."
Then!
Chu Yuan took the initiative to invite him: "If you don't mind, have some food and drinks?!"
"I don't eat!"
The blind man said flatly, but he didn't refuse either.
"If you don't eat, I will!"
Chu Yuan naturally walked into the kitchen.
Then, he threw a large piece of pork belly to the blind man: "You're so good at martial arts, your knife skills must be excellent!"
"Help me cut it into pieces, I'll need it later!"
