Chapter 194: What Master Is a Charlatan
"Poisoned?"
The middle-aged woman exclaimed in disbelief, and an absurd look immediately appeared on her face, "The old man is poisoned? Lao Ba, are you kidding me?"
"As the head of the Mu family, the old man has someone to take care of his daily life. Every food he eats and every item he carries are checked by someone. How could he be poisoned?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head, her face full of absurdity, "What's more, the old man has no signs of poisoning at all, how could he be poisoned. Lao Ba, although I don't know what you are up to, I can tell you very clearly that the old man is definitely not poisoned."
The middle-aged woman obviously didn't believe that the head of the Mu family was poisoned.
However, although the woman said it with certainty, Mu Baye believed in his own judgment more. Even he himself was poisoned by the Nine Laughs Powder, let alone the old man who lived with him day and night?
"I don't have time to talk to you. Are you going to move out of the way or not? Every time you waste time, the old man will be in more danger."
Mr. Mu shouted unbearably, and his cultivation in the transformation realm was released without reservation. If the middle-aged woman didn't know how to block him, he would have to use force.
Feeling Mr. Mu's anger, the middle-aged woman snorted coldly, and finally moved aside and made way.
Mr. Mu hurriedly said, "Master Su, please come in!"
Su Chen nodded, and followed Mr. Mu into the yard of the owner of the family with the two daughters of the Gu family.
"Hmph, I want to see, you said the old man was poisoned, what kind of poison was it?"
The middle-aged woman snorted coldly, and followed the others into the yard. She wanted to see what tricks Mr. Mu was playing?
"Master Su, please come this way."
Mr. Mu led Su Chen and others to the middle of the yard.
"Who was that just now?"
Su Chen asked.
"Oh, that's my third sister, Mu Sanniang." Mr. Mu Ba showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. "She was married more than ten years ago, but her husband died in training not long after, so she returned to the Mu family. She has a bad temper and is arbitrary. I hope Master Su will not be angry with her."
"As long as she doesn't interfere with the detoxification for a while."
Su Chen said lightly.
"No, although my third sister has a bad temper, she still knows her limits and won't do such a thing."
Mr. Mu Ba said hurriedly.
While talking, the two had come to the patio in the middle of the yard.
This patio, like a garden, has a rockery fountain and several chairs.
And on one of the chairs, sat a white-haired figure. His figure was not very tall, but just looking at the back, there was a sense of transcendence.
"Old Eight, are you back?"
The white-haired figure turned around and asked with a smile.
Su Chen saw an old man with a calm demeanor. He seemed to have a natural temperament of neither arrogance nor impetuosity, and he was calm and unhurried, not happy with things, nor sad with himself.
Rather than being a martial arts master, he was more like a wise man.
"Is this the head of the Mu family?"
It was the first time that Su Chen saw the head of the Mu family, but the magic of the world is that some people, no matter how many times you meet, you will not have any good feelings, while some people, even if you meet for the first time, will involuntarily have a good impression of each other from the bottom of your heart.
For Su Chen, the head of the Mu family obviously belongs to the latter.
At this moment, Su Chen secretly made a decision in his heart that he would not let the old man in front of him die from poison.
"Hello, old man."
Mr. Mu also saluted the head of the Mu family respectfully.
"Oh? It seems that there are guests coming. Old Eight, are you going to introduce them?"
The head of the Mu family smiled and did not seem to have any airs. He seemed very kind.
"Old man, this is the alchemist, Master Su."
Mr. Mu introduced him and said, "I invited him here to help you detoxify."
As soon as these words came out, the originally smiling head of the Mu family was stunned.
"Detoxification?"
The head of the Mu family asked in confusion, "When did I get poisoned?"
"Father!"
Mrs. Mu walked over quickly, "I don't know what the old man is crazy about. He invited a few charlatans to come and say that you were poisoned. Isn't this a joke? All your food, clothing and daily expenses will be checked. How could you be poisoned?"
"What's more, the so-called alchemist he invited is actually a young boy. Isn't this nonsense?"
"I suggest that these charlatans be driven out of the Mu family!"
Mrs. Mu said, looking up and down at Su Chen with a mocking look. In her opinion, Mr. Mu actually found such a young boy to pretend to be an alchemist and said that the old man was poisoned, which was simply laughable. Who would believe what this brat said?
"I can testify that the old man was indeed poisoned!" Mr. Mu Ba said firmly.
Mu Sanniang sneered: "Okay, since you said the old man was poisoned, then you tell me what kind of poison he was poisoned with?"
"It's Jiuxiao Powder."
"Jiuxiao Powder? A poison I've never heard of. What evidence do you have to prove that you're not making it up?" Mu Sanniang snorted.
"I am the evidence!"
Mu Baye said, "Because I've been with the old man day and night, I've been infected with the poison of Jiuxiao Powder. I've just forced the poison out by running the exercises. But the old man was directly poisoned and the poison was deep. The poison can no longer be forced out by running the exercises. Special detoxification methods must be used."
"Listen to your nonsense!"
Mu Sanniang sneered, "Then tell me how the old man was poisoned?"
"How do I know so much about this?"
Mu Baye also became a little impatient, "In short, it is absolutely true that the old man was poisoned. If you really care about the old man's health, you should shut up and stand aside, and don't hinder Master Su from treating the old man!"
"What Su? Master, you are just a young boy, and you dare to call yourself a master? "
Mu Sanniang sneered, "Old Eight, are you crazy? You actually take the words of a young boy as the golden rule. In my opinion, you also need to find a place to clear your mind."
"My mind is fine."
Mu Baye said angrily, "I did force out the Nine Laughs Powder in my body, this is absolutely true, and you are not allowed to insult Master Su."
"What Master Su, he is just a charlatan. He can't even tell how the old man was poisoned. What qualifications do you have to call yourself a master?"
Mu Sanniang snorted disdainfully. In fact, she certainly knew that there were not many alchemists who could infer how the poisoned person was poisoned from the symptoms on his body.
The reason why she said this was just to embarrass Mu Baye.
