In a room at the guesthouse.
Ye Cangtian was cultivating when there was a knock on the door, followed by a figure pushing the door open and sitting directly in front of him. It was none other than Lan Yue.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other person, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, then said, "Senior Sister, have you found anything?"
Lan Yue slowly nodded and said, "After Kang Shan left the hidden group, we lost track of him. He must have used a secret passage. Also, we found this at his home..."
As she spoke, Lan Yue took out a small section of green bamboo from her Qiankun bag.
Qingliang Bamboo?
Mentioning Qingliang Bamboo, a faint smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
Qingliang Bamboo was a rather rare relic plant, possessing inherent detoxification effects, and was a scarce material for detoxification and poison avoidance in the relics.
Coupled with Kang Shan's furtive actions, it could now be basically concluded that Kang Shan was the one who had poisoned them.
Thinking about it, Ye Cangtian asked, "Senior Sister, do you have any news from Cai Yong?"
"There is no news from Cai Yong. He has been very calm, and there is nothing suspicious..." Lan Yue replied quickly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Since there is nothing unusual, we will have them withdrawn later!"
Seeing Lan Yue nod, Ye Cangtian continued, "Let's go, we'll go meet this Kang Shan first."
With that, Ye Cangtian took the lead and left the guesthouse.
Not long after, Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue arrived at the front door of Kang Shan's house in another corner of Dragon City.
After knocking on the door, the lights in the room lit up a moment later, and the door opened, revealing Kang Shan standing before them.
"Mr. Ye, Little Miss Yue? Why have you come?"
Seeing them visit late at night, Kang Shan's eyes were filled with confusion.
Didn't Ye Cangtian find him during the day? Why was he visiting again so late at night?
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and said, "Nothing else to do, just coming to ask for a cup of tea."
Hearing this, Kang Shan naturally couldn't refuse and could only lead them into the room with his doubts, then personally brewed a pot of tea and handed it over.
"There's no good tea at home, please don't mind it, the two of you."
As he spoke, Kang Shan sat down in front of them.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I've come today not only for tea, but also for something else. Do you know what this is?"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out the Qingliang Bamboo and placed it in front of him.
Hmm?
Kang Shan's expression changed noticeably, and he then looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, this is Qingliang Bamboo. It's not rare and mainly has the effect of preventing and removing poison. Why are you taking this out?"
Heh, Kang Shan has good psychological fortitude!
With Qingliang Bamboo placed right in front of him, he didn't show any nervousness.
Ye Cangtian's gaze shifted to Kang Shan and he said faintly, "This Qingliang Bamboo was found in your home. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Thump!
Upon hearing this, Kang Shan immediately knelt before Ye Cangtian and said, "Lord Ye, I really have nothing to do with Lord Mingyue being poisoned! I beg you to investigate!"
Kang Shan was not foolish. Qingliang Bamboo had the effect of preventing and removing poison, so it was not surprising that they suspected him again.
Heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly, and quickly helped him up, saying, "Don't be so agitated. I'm just asking. As long as you explain clearly, there will be no problem."
Hearing this, Kang Shan nodded lightly and said, "It's like this. Regarding Lord Mingyue being poisoned, there are rumors that the Five Poisons Sect came for revenge.
The Five Poisons Sect has a notorious reputation. I was afraid of being implicated, so I specifically prepared some Qingliang Bamboo at home..."
Heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled again, this time with a hint of playfulness.
Although the explanation seemed reasonable, Ye Cangtian had too much evidence. Otherwise, he might have been deceived.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian continued, "It was right to be prepared, to prevent what might happen. But after leaving the hidden group tonight, where did you go?"
"I... I was resting at home." Kang Shan's gaze flickered.
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said faintly, "Kang Shan, considering your many years of work in the hidden group, I'll give you another chance. You'd better cherish it."
I...
Feeling Ye Cangtian's smile, Kang Shan trembled. He quickly said, "I remember now. When I got home, I went out for a bit, mainly to clear my head, and came back not long after."
"Oh?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him playfully and said, "Kang Shan, then tell me, where did you go to clear your head, and which way did you take?"
This...
Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Kang Shan's forehead. He braced himself and said, "As usual, I just walked through the main entrance..."
Seeing the other person's voice growing weaker, Ye Cangtian let out a cold laugh and said, "Still not going to confess honestly?"
"Confess what?"
"That's right, I left through the secret passage and went for a stroll in the nearby square. Is there any problem with that?"
"Can this also be considered evidence of a crime?"
Kang Shan glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, speaking in exasperation.
He knew clearly that they must have sent people to watch him, so there was no point in making up more lies. It was better to tell the truth.
After all, his house wasn't the only one with a secret passage.
"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, you should have left through the secret passage, not to go for a stroll, but to meet Han Weicao?"
This...
Ye Cangtian's voice reached him, and Kang Shan paused slightly before gritting his teeth and saying, "What is Han Weicao? I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Seeing that Kang Shan still refused to confess, Ye Cangtian said faintly, "Why bother? Following the Five Poisons Sect to do evil and leaving behind a name that will be cursed for eternity, is it really worth it..."
Before Ye Cangtian could finish speaking, he sensed an aura approaching Kang Shan's door.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian suddenly smiled and then looked at Lan Yue beside him, saying, "Senior Sister, we have a visitor at the door. Please invite him in."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yue nodded without hesitation and flashed out of the room.
This...
Seeing this, Kang Shan trembled again, his face turning somewhat pale.
He suddenly remembered that Han Weicao had told him that he would bring him poison that could kill Ye Cangtian that night.
Did Ye Cangtian catch him? Then...
Kang Shan's eyes darted around. Even if he held out to the end, if the evidence was overwhelming, all his sophistry would be useless.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian took in Kang Shan's expression and then smiled, saying, "Kang Shan, don't you have anything to say? If you confess, I can still be lenient!"
"I have nothing to say."
Kang Shan gritted his teeth. In his opinion, he couldn't panic at this moment.
What if it wasn't Han Weicao's person? Wouldn't he be exposed? So it was better to see what the situation was.
"Very good, very good, then let's wait slowly!"
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and ignored him, lit a cigarette, and sat aside.
Before he could finish smoking a cigarette, Lan Yue returned, carrying a man in black.
"Junior Brother, he's from the Five Poisons Sect's Five Colored Grass Hall."
Lan Yue threw the man in black directly in front of them and briefly introduced him to Ye Cangtian.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the man in black and said faintly, "Tell me, why are you here?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian in front of him, the man in black's eyes instantly showed fear. He was a Heaven-level expert! He could crush him like crushing an ant.
The next moment, he quickly said, "Reporting to sir, Master Han Weicao asked me to deliver a bottle of poison here."
