You Promised to Be an Idle Son-in-Law, How Could You Become a Land Immortal?

Chapter 309: Chapter 219: Sharing the Moon Across a Thousand Miles

"Miss, I don’t know the specifics either."

"In that case, we’ll go take a look later."

Cui Qingwu was a bit puzzled, unsure of what had happened to Chen Yi, but all the Silver Banner Officers knew the name "Fledgling."

She couldn’t very well just ignore it.

With this in mind, Cui Qingwu returned to the table, preparing to find a suitable excuse to leave.

But before she could speak, she saw Chen Yunfan gently pull her back. "You stay here."

Cui Qingwu was taken aback. "You..."

Chen Yunfan explained in a low voice, "You stay here and watch over the Xiao Family siblings. I’ll go."

Hearing this, Cui Qingwu’s beautiful eyes widened. "You... Yunfan..."

Chen Yunfan glanced at her, a serious expression on his handsome face, and said:

"I’m going to see who’s so bold as to touch one of the Chen family!"

Without waiting for Cui Qingwu to ask any more questions, Chen Yunfan stood up and walked out.

Huan’er had also overheard their conversation. "M-Miss, Young Master Chen, he... he..."

Cui Qingwu stared blankly at his retreating figure.

After a long moment, she suddenly smiled.

’Brother Yunfan, you’ve been hiding yourself so well.’

...

「Just past nine o’clock.」

The Painted Boat traveled north through a narrow channel and sailed onto the Chishui River.

The clamor was instantly cut off, leaving only the faint sounds of laughter from a few other Painted Boats that preferred not to linger in the Prefecture City.

Yan Fusha sat imposingly on the roof of the Painted Boat, his sinister gaze fixed on Chen Yi.

Several men in black stood around them, each watching a different direction, on high alert.

Chen Yi, in contrast, looked out over the Chishui River with a natural expression, as if he were simply admiring the scenery.

What Yan Fusha failed to notice was that Chen Yi’s fingers, hidden in his sleeves, were using a fine needle from an earring to pierce his acupoints.

He was extremely carefully and cautiously clearing the deadly Poison from his body.

In fact, his luck earlier had been terrible.

Of the two bottles of Poison—a fifty-fifty choice—he had, as fate would have it, grabbed the one containing the lethal toxin that killed in three breaths.

If Yan Fusha hadn’t assumed he was just an ordinary scholar with no Martial Arts Cultivation and used a low-grade Poison, he probably wouldn’t have lasted this long.

By then, the Painted Boat had traveled several miles, and their surroundings fell completely silent.

Only then did Yan Fusha speak. "Mr. Qingzhou, there is something I do not understand. I hope you might enlighten me."

Chen Yi turned his head to look at him, waiting for his question.

"You’ve been with us for so long. Aren’t you curious about our identities?"

"Curious? Of course I’m curious."

"But if I ask, will you tell me?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Hearing Chen Yi’s words, Yan Fusha started laughing. "Tell you? Why wouldn’t I?"

"I am Yan Fusha. HAHA... If I don’t tell you, how can I let Mr. Qingzhou die an informed man?"

Chen Yi’s heart stirred. He turned his head to look at him. "You’re going to kill me here?"

Yan Fusha’s laughter stopped. He shook his head. "Mr. Qingzhou, you are mistaken."

"I intend to kill not only you, but that little beast from the Pei Family must not survive the night either."

He pointed to another Painted Boat about a hundred and fifty yards away and sneered, "Perhaps you don’t know, sir."

"My feud with her Mountain Race is a blood feud that cannot be reconciled."

Chen Yi said, "Oh," and in the moment he took to glance at the other Painted Boat, he tapped the earring against his body twice more.

Yan Fusha, completely oblivious, continued, "Mr. Qingzhou, your luck is both good and bad."

"Originally, when I came to Shu State, I didn’t plan to make my move so soon."

"However..."

Before he could finish, one of the men in black beside him suddenly cried out, "My lord!"

"Hm?"

"That Painted Boat!"

Yan Fusha looked over and saw a small figure peeking out furtively from a second-floor window of the nearby Painted Boat.

Who else could it be but Pei Guanli?

Yan Fusha instantly understood what had happened. "I seem to have underestimated the Mountain Race’s Gu Insects."

"To think she could neutralize so much potent Poison."

With that, Yan Fusha angrily ordered, "Move in closer! Capture her!"

However, there was no movement from his men.

Yan Fusha froze for a second, then erupted with his full power, striking out with a palm to his side.

BOOM!

More than half the Painted Boat was instantly blasted apart, sending splinters flying through the air.

Yan Fusha shot a sidelong glance, and when he saw the figure standing in a corner of the boat, his eyes blazed with murderous fury.

"It was you?!"

Chen Yi ignored him. He glanced at the sneaky Pei Guanli on the other Painted Boat, tossed aside the medicine vial in his hand, and sighed.

’This girl, she neutralizes the poison and then can’t even stay put. She endured for so long, too.’

Fortunately, Tiger Girl had understood his earlier warning, which gave him some small comfort.

Over on her boat, Pei Guanli wasn’t thinking that far ahead. Seeing Yan Fusha make his move, she dropped the pretense and ran out, shouting:

"Brother-in-law, I’m here to help!"

Chen Yi grimaced as if he had a toothache and turned his head to scold her, "Just stay put over there! Haven’t you caused me enough trouble?"

Pei Guanli shrank back and leaned over the side of her boat, watching him with wide, pitiful eyes.

"I was just a little careless..."

Chen Yi shook his head helplessly and stopped paying her any mind. He looked over at Yan Fusha, sized him up, and said with a smile:

"As expected of an Elder from the Five Poison Sect. Your poison resistance is indeed high."

One bottle of Qingfeng Drunk and one of Immortal Drunk had taken down all the men in black, but Yan Fusha alone was still standing.

He had to admit, the people of the Five Poison Sect were quite capable.

Although Yan Fusha had never heard the two words "poison resistance," he understood the meaning behind them.

He stared daggers at Chen Yi, his voice sinister and vicious as he asked, "You... you knew about me and the Five Poison Sect all along?!"
