In Shanglinli, inside Huixian Pavilion.

"Master Fan, this is 20 years old wine stored in the store's cellar. How do you like it?"

After hearing that Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong were dating a big shot, the shopkeeper of Huixian Pavilion immediately came to the private room where Su Xing was staying, and stepped forward to propose a toast with great enthusiasm.

He bent down and drank the wine in the glass, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "In the future, Mr. Fan, please take care of the shop."

"That is required."

Su Xing smelled the aged wine presented by the shopkeeper and couldn't help but praise: "This wine is indeed fragrant!"

After that, he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp...

Huixian Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Shanglin.

This Huixian Pavilion was not originally called Huixian Pavilion, but was called 'Huixian Pavilion'. Later, because the Taoists did not like the word 'immortal', it was changed to 'Huixian Pavilion'.

In the private room of the restaurant.

The shopkeepers were Su Xing, Xue Tianyuan, and Li Lingsong. After filling up the drinks, they waved their hands to call in several graceful girls from outside.

These girls were all dressed in colorful costumes, and were followed by several musicians holding different instruments.

The shopkeeper explained: "Three adults, these are the most popular top names in Shanglinli Jiaofang Division. The younger one was specially recruited for these three adults..."

"Okay, okay, you go down first."

Su Xing came to this restaurant for the banquet, not just for enjoyment.

Obtaining useful information from Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong was one of the purposes of his trip, so he couldn't help but say something to chase them away.

Seeing Su Xing's dissatisfaction, the shopkeeper was quite sensible: "The young man will leave now so as not to disturb the three adults..."

In the elegant room.

After the shopkeeper left, Su Xing raised his glass and said to Xue Tianyuan: "Brother Xue, I wonder how much you know about that door? Can you tell me in detail?"

"this...."

Xue Tianyuan glanced at the dancers and musicians in the private room.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled at Su Xing and said, "Master Fan, let's just talk about Fengyue in the restaurant. If there is anything important, we can talk about it after dinner. Do you think that's okay?"

After some hints from Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong, Su Xing finally knew:

The Taoist Gate has stood in Nanfanbuzhou for hundreds of years, exerting great pressure on the world.

In addition to not allowing mortals to practice cultivation and prohibiting private possession of immortality cultivation techniques, Taoist sects also have "longevity eyes" in various towns to monitor the world.

In addition, Taoism is also extremely strict in controlling speech.

For example, the "Huixian Pavilion" restaurant was forced to change its name to "Huixian Pavilion".

Mortals under the Taoist sect can only practice martial arts. Not only do they not allow the existence of immortals, they cannot even talk about the words related to "immortal".

In addition, there are countless rules such as 'Do not discuss Taoist matters indiscriminately', 'Do not discuss Taoist masters indiscriminately' and so on.

Although the 'Shou Eye' can only see images, it cannot eavesdrop on the conversations of mortals.

However, in order to prevent the walls from having ears, people from aristocratic families such as Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong would still only talk about Fengyue and never talk about Taoism.

Who can guarantee that when you talk about Taoist matters on weekdays, someone will not report it to the inspection department?

If there is something really important and it would violate Taoist taboos, people would signal each other with their eyes and then go to the secret room to discuss it in detail.

Therefore, there is also an idiom on Nanfanbu Island called "the road follows the eye".

This door acts so cautiously, obviously it hides some big secrets, and it is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.

At the same time, this also proves that Su Xing was right to be cautious...

Not being able to discuss Taoism arbitrarily, Su Xingbian also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Okay, let's drink!"

…

The three of them were pushing cups and changing cups, when they suddenly saw a musician in the room lying straight on the ground.

He covered his neck with his hands and his breathing became rapid.

When the other musicians and dancers saw this, they all looked panicked.

These people did not think of saving the musician's life, but because they were afraid of the identities of Su Xing and the others, they knelt down on the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Li Lingsong said displeasedly: "What's going on with this man?"

In the crowd, a musician said timidly: "To tell you the truth, he should have died of suffocation at the end of his life."

It seems that sudden death at the end of life is not uncommon in Shanglin.

Therefore, Li Lingsong did not show too much shock, but said with a look of disgust: "Take him away quickly and let the shopkeeper handle it."

While saying these words, he did not forget to wave to the other dancers and musicians: "Why are you stopping? Keep playing music and keep dancing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another scene of singing and dancing in the private room.

Seeing this scene, although Su Xing had no expression on his face, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

This world...

After he drank the aged wine in one gulp, he stopped talking.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table became silent due to the death of the musician.

As hosts, Li Lingsong and Xue Tianyuan naturally did not want to make Su Xing unhappy.

Seeing Su Xing's silence, Li Lingsong raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Fan, I'd like to propose a toast to you. We don't have to worry about the musician..."

Don't know why.

The moment Li Lingsong said the word 'musician', he suddenly covered his chest and collapsed on his seat.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and said with difficulty: "Someone poisoned me! There is something wrong with this food!"

"I feel it too."

As soon as Li Lingsong finished speaking, he saw Xue Tianyuan also covering his chest, his whole body was limp and weak: "Nephew Li Xian, is this your enemy?"

Because I don't know what exactly happened at this moment.

After hearing what Li Lingsong and Xue Tianyuan were talking about, Su Xing followed suit, covered his chest and collapsed on his seat.

"Oh, go ahead, I'm poisoned too!"

——Poisons prepared by mortals cannot poison immortal cultivators. This is why no cultivators on Dongsheng Divine Continent use poison.

Although Su Xing's emerald green dagger was quenched with toxins, it only had the effect of hindering the movement of spiritual power, and its price-performance ratio was not high.

Maybe there are really a very small number of poisons that can be effective against monks, but if the killer really has the money, why not buy more talismans to fight the enemy.

Or, just buy a powerful magic weapon and keep it with you. Isn’t it delicious?

In the private room of the restaurant.

While Su Xing was pretending to be poisoned.

Li Lingsong hesitated for a long time, then said to Xue Tianyuan with a confused look on his face: "I don't think I have any enemies...I haven't offended anyone recently, right?"

"Of course you haven't offended anyone."

Seeing that Su Xing, Li Lingsong, and Xue Tianyuan had all been attacked, two men and one woman walked out from the group of musicians and dancers.

The dancing assassin smiled at Li Lingsong and said: "We have inquired before we started. You are just a waste in the Li family... A waste like you, who has a high status but has accomplished nothing, of course you can go anywhere.

We are all your friends, so how can we make enemies with others?"

Because we are under the roof.

After hearing what the dancing assassin said, although Li Lingsong's face turned red with anger, he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. He just lay on his seat and breathed heavily.

The dancer continued: "But don't worry, just because you are a waste, our employer said there is no need to kill you, just kill the old guy Xue Tianyuan!"

After saying that, the dancer pulled out a dagger from her hip and walked slowly towards Xue Tianyuan.

Jianghu warriors are good at using poison and lime, but when attacking, they mostly use sneak attacks and sap.

Therefore, Su Xing could see that the tip of the dagger drawn by the dancer was glowing with a strange blue light from time to time, which was obviously quenched with poison.
