Chapter 61: Miss Su is a Man?

Yun Huizhou paid no mind to those who were devastated or reeling in the wind; instead, his eyes immediately locked onto those who looked excited and interested.

…

Lian Li was a man, and he liked women. He had even discussed the matter of getting married before with him. What was with the expressions on those people’s faces? How dare they have such thoughts about his Junior Brother!

He was seriously considering whether he could withstand a group brawl from so many people just to throw out everyone who might have designs on his Junior Brother.

Among the group that had suddenly appeared, several people were also dazed for a moment, allowing others to seize the opportunity to counter-attack.

Some took a closer look toward Lian Li’s side and discovered that Yun Huizhou, who was supposed to be tied down by the bearded man, had actually appeared beside “Miss Su”!

Then where was the bearded man?

Someone quickly scanned the surroundings and found the bearded man lying on the ground, breathless.

Instantly, the morale of one side soared, while the other side fell into a panic, with many beginning to harbor thoughts of retreat.

Yun Huizhou reached Lian Li’s side, wrapped an arm around Lian Li’s waist, and landed on the ground, tapping twice on Lian Li’s body.

Lian Li felt his sealed internal energy finally begin to circulate again. He hurriedly pulled out his whip and said, “Let’s go! Watch us go on a total killing spree!”

Previously, he hadn’t dared to get directly involved because his strength was insufficient and he had no one to protect him; he was afraid of accidentally dying.

Now that Yun Huizhou had freed up his hands, he could finally take the field.

Yun Huizhou led him toward the nearest enemy. After taking the opponent down, he asked, “Are you sure it’s the two of us going on a killing spree?”

Lian Li pointed his sword at the next target and said, “Don’t worry about the details. Just know that the two of us handled it.”

Yun Huizhou once again led him toward the target he pointed out, not forgetting to continue talking to him in the meantime: “Why do I feel like you’re just leeching off my battle record?”

If Yun Huizhou were in the modern world, he would have found a very suitable term to describe Lian Li.

Leeching assists.

Fortunately, Lian Li still had some shame and didn’t try to steal kills—though he wouldn’t have been able to anyway.

Lian Li let out an “Aya~” and continued, “What’s the relationship between us? We both came from the same Master. Why distinguish between yours and mine? It’s all the same, all the same.”

The young hero who had resolved his opponent with their help heard their conversation and didn’t know what kind of expression to make.

He remembered that he had come to Fengyi City to participate in the martial arts marriage competition to seek Miss Su’s hand in marriage.

How was it that just as the competition was about to end, a group of people suddenly charged in to kidnap the bride and kill people, and then Miss Su turned into a man?

Could it be Young Master Su? That wasn’t right either. He remembered the Su Family only had one young master, and that was Su Jun.

Furthermore, why did this “Miss Su” and that Young Master Yun seem so familiar with each other? What exactly was going on?

Quite a few young heroes were left in a state of total confusion.

The situation was quickly brought under control. Under the siege of the many young heroes, not a single one of those second-class masters could break away from the battlefield and escape.

However, the other four experts who had reached the first-class level were not so easy to keep behind. Yun Huizhou only intercepted two, while two others escaped.

Among the rest, none had reached the first-class level, and they didn’t dare to give chase, fearing they would be counter-killed and lose their lives if they pursued.

Yun Huizhou wanted to capture the two first-class experts he had intercepted alive, so he did not deal a killing blow.

Combat at this level was not something Lian Li could participate in. Since his identity as a man had already been exposed anyway, he didn’t bother looking for a corner to hide in.

He stood openly in the crowd, spectating along with everyone else.

A few of the strongest young heroes, realizing that Yun Huizhou intended to capture the two alive, went up to help again.

After a fierce battle, those two were also taken down.

Yun Huizhou tapped their acupoints and sealed their internal energy, intending to take them away for interrogation. Unexpectedly, black blood suddenly flowed from the corners of their mouths. Their bodies shuddered, and then they collapsed to the ground.

When he checked their breathing, he found they were already dead.

Seeing this, Lian Li immediately ran toward those captured second-class masters. He reached out and clamped onto an opponent’s jaw, sticking his fingers into the person’s mouth to dig around.

Seeing this, the others also hurriedly grabbed the nearest living captives and dislocated their jaws.

However, it was still too late.

Black blood poured from the mouths of these people as well, and after a brief tremor, they were gone.

Even the person Lian Li was holding was no exception.

Lian Li’s expression turned somewhat grim. After tossing aside the breathless body, he hurried to Yun Huizhou’s side. He grabbed Yun Huizhou’s wrist and placed his fingers on the vital gate, using his unique internal energy to check the condition inside Yun Huizhou’s body.

There were no hidden injuries.

But thinking about how these people had all committed suicide by biting down on poison in their mouths, he began rummaging through his own clothes.

Yun Huizhou pulled his hand back, about to say he was fine and that the person hadn’t hurt him.

As a result, the moment he opened his mouth, Lian Li shoved two pills inside. Then, Lian Li covered his mouth with a hand, not allowing him to spit them out.

Thinking that if he were poisoned to death, there would be no one to cover for this kid while traveling the Jianghu, Yun Huizhou figured the boy probably wouldn’t feed him poison.

So, he chewed them up and swallowed.

Lian Li felt a bit more relieved seeing him eat them obediently. What he had stuffed into Yun Huizhou’s mouth was naturally not poison, but pills he had scrounged from the West Island Lord specifically designed for chronic poisons.

Chronic poisons generally aren’t very toxic in the early stages; they might not even have any effect at all if left untreated for a long time.

It is only after the toxins accumulate to a certain level for various reasons, or after the toxicity slowly spreads throughout the body via the blood and internal energy and takes root, that it completely erupts. By that time, there is basically no way to detoxify.

Lian Li felt that if Yun Huizhou wasn’t directly beaten into a pulp, he would most likely be poisoned by someone.

But with Yun Huizhou’s alertness, he wouldn’t fail to notice ordinary poisons. As long as there was the slightest abnormality in his body, he would be able to sense it and deal with it in time.

Only a chronic poison with no abnormalities in the early stages would cause him to fall victim.

It just so happened that the West Island Lord had this kind of medicine specifically targeting the early stages of chronic poison. Under the effect of this medicine, the small amount of toxicity in the early stages of a chronic poison would be quickly eliminated.

However, the most troublesome thing about chronic poison was that it wasn’t easy to detect in the early stages.

Fortunately, this medicine could also be eaten as a health supplement. Lian Li had brought a lot out with him. He decided that every once in a while, he would stuff one or two into himself and Yun Huizhou as health supplements.

At this point, the attack had come to an end, but the matter was not yet entirely over.

Because the young heroes who had assisted Yun Huizhou in capturing alive the two first-class experts stepped forward. One said, “Young Master Su Jun, please explain. Why is it that during this martial arts marriage competition, the Miss Su on the spectator stand is actually a young master?”

Su Jun had originally been feeling fortunate that the attack was resolved without casualties, but upon suddenly hearing these words, the hair on his body stood on end.

He looked toward Lian Li, who was still covering Yun Huizhou’s mouth.
