Chapter 2189 - 2191: Why Do You Know Him

Such cunning really commands my admiration.

If only he could be a bit more forgiving, it would be a blessing for all the people in the world.

Yangyang saw that the Poison Old Monster was silent for a long time, without knowing what he was thinking, he stepped up to him, "Old man, I’ve never asked you, why do you know him?"

"This is a long story." The Poison Old Monster wasn’t planning to hide anything, "He’s also an expert in poison, you know? I specialize in poison too, known somewhat out there. Fellow practitioners of poison arts, he heard my name and came to challenge me."

"And then you lost?" Yangyang bluntly asked.

"Smelly kid, can’t you be a little more tactful?" The Poison Old Monster glared at him before continuing, "Lost, yes, but it’s nothing shameful. After he defeated me, he wanted me to work for him. I, the old man, am used to a carefree life, how could I be willing to be controlled by someone?"

Yangyang replied, "Then he poisoned you to threaten you?"

"Cough cough..." The Poison Old Monster’s old face flushed a bit, "Are you listening or not? You keep interrupting, have you eaten too much chicken giblets?"

Yangyang chuckled, "Go on, go on."

"What else is there to say? You already know the rest, don’t you?" The Poison Old Monster rolled his eyes in frustration, then sighed, "To be honest, I’ve lived long enough to be satisfied, but I haven’t found an heir yet. My master, when he was alive, always told me to find a successor for the secret arts. I go out searching every three years but found not a single one. So it came to you, kid."

"Tsk tsk, what do you mean? It’s clearly because I’ve got talent and helped you complete your task, right?"

"What you said is true."

"Exactly." Yangyang glanced around the palace; it was indeed rough. He turned back to see the Poison Old Monster with closed eyes, whose breath seemed unsteady, as he darted up to him, "Old man, is your poison cured now?"

"Cured or not, it doesn’t matter." The Poison Old Monster waved his hand, "Hurry up and master your martial arts, then my wish will be fulfilled."

For some reason, Yangyang suddenly felt his nose turning sour.

"Old man, can’t you detoxify yourself? If there’s no medicine, I’ll have my mother find some for you." Thinking for a moment, he added, "At worst, when we return to Great Zhou, I’ll have my uncle detoxify you, he’s a divine physician, he’ll definitely have a way."

"Old man, don’t you dare die! You must live well, my mother said living brings hope. You can come to my home later, we’ve got many maids and servants, they can take care of you."

The Poison Old Monster, having lived alone with no wife or child, was touched by such words for the first time.

But he wasn’t sentimental, feeling awkward with such emotional talk, he yelled, "With your practice speed, I fear that I’d die with regrets, it’s so slow it’s killing me."

"Tsk tsk, you’re really stubborn!"

Yangyang glanced at him.

At this point, a palace maid spoke from the door, "Honorable Young Prince, the Elder Prince is here to see you."

Hearing the titles of young and elder prince, Yangyang looked at the Poison Old Monster, "Could he be trying to make me his son?"

"You’re really dense, just realizing now?"

"Is he crazy? Why is he doing this?"

Good question, the Poison Old Monster also wanted to know why. Initially, Prince Le asked him to save this kid and then send him over. He even thought Prince Le captured the boy to threaten Ye Zi’an and others.
