The Antagonists
CHAPTER 41
Wearing a hat covered by a white cloth surrounding him, Xu Ye Han was walking around while playing the fan in his hand.
It was a new fan, a fan that Wei Lian had gifted to him while going back to the previous Xu sect.
Not for fun, he's investigating something.
His appearance was of course enough to attract the attention of many people, his face was faintly visible from the outside.
Yet as if unconcerned by their whispers, Xu Ye Han continued his investigation.
He stepped his foot into a drugstore, watching the ingredients in the store carefully.
"Sir..how can I help you ? What material are you looking for?." asked one of the workers.
"Can I meet the owner of this store?" asked Ye Han.
The employee shook his head, "Sir, my employer is out of town, only his son. Are you going to make a big purchase ?."
Xu Ye Han was silent for a moment, thinking how stupid what he was doing.
It should move like a regular buyer first.
"Is this here selling blue flowers ? I heard that in addition to being used as poison, the flower can also be used as a very efficacious medicine." asked Ye Han.
The official was surprised, he admonished Ye Han to lower his voice.
What Xu Ye Han said was extremely dangerous.
The clerk pulled Xu Ye Han to head to a quieter place, so as to make sure the situation was safe he immediately whispered to Xu Ye Han.
"Your master don't talk about poison so easily, let alone about the blue flower" he said carefully.
"Why indeed ? It's like anyone knows that." Ye Han replied.
Plakk!!
He was struck slowly by Xu Ye Han's hand by the employee.
"Master, it's been a long time that people here haven't heard it even like they've forgotten the blue flower" the official explained.
Xu Ye Han also looked puzzled, how could it be like that ? Is this all related to what befell Wei Lian ?.
Xu Ye Han also took out a bag of money from inside his shirt.
He gave some gold coins to the officer.
"Tell me everything you know" Ye Han said.
A smile of sumringah was immediately displayed by the employee when he received the gold coin in his hand.
"Master, actually our store doesn't sell blue flowers because my employer is afraid that they are misused and that she is at a loss."
Just feeling sorry for giving his money to the employee, he actually got very important information.
"There was a drugstore just a few kilometers from the market. Only the drugstore was selling blue flowers. But sir still you will not get it." said the official.
Xu Ye Han was again astonished, if he did not get it so why did the store sell it.
"What do you mean ? Why can't I get it?." asked Xu Ye Han with extreme curiosity.
The clerk drew close to Xu Ye Han, what he was about to whisper to Xu Ye Han was a very secret matter.
He also found out for stealing his hearing on the way home.
"The flowers have been ordered by someone, whatever the number will still be purchased by the mysterious person" said the official.
Feeling that he had received enough of the information, Xu Ye Han immediately went out.
He was very sure it must have been that person who poisoned Wei Lian.
"I will immediately arrest and make you pay for all the crimes you committed against Wei Lian." muttered Ye Han.
Ye Han also went straight to the store according to the direction of the employee earlier.
The shop he went to did not look suspicious, when he noticed that suddenly a man with a black hood came.
Xu Ye Han also recognized the scent from the man's body.
"She is a lekaki who follows me as well as Wei Lian at the night market, what is she doing here?" muttered Ye Han.
One of the servants directed the man to head to the second floor, but as he was about to follow him, Xu Ye Han was dismissed by another employee.
"Sorry sir, only important guests can head to the second floor."
"Alright sir, sorry for my sassness" Ye Han said.
Xu Ye Han stepped out of the shop, once out and towards the back of the shop, he just flew to the roof of the shop.
Slowly, he tried to find out where the man was.
His ability could not be doubted, he had quickly discovered his existence.
He put his ear to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Master, this time I only have a dozen stalks. It was very difficult for me to get it, my body was no longer strong enough to enter the cave any deeper" said someone Ye Han believed to be the owner of this shop.
"How can it ? I told you it takes hundreds of stalks. Dozens of stalks will not be enough for my lord." said the hooded man.
"Master give us more time, at least a few more months the flowers will grow more" he explained.
It was very clear to him that they were arguing. But in the end the hooded man still bought and took away the blue flowers.
He followed the hooded man into the forest.
"Who's there ? Why do you keep following me?." shouted the hooded man.
Xu Ye Han also appeared before the man, opening the cloth wrapped around his hat.
Ye Han smiled at the man, "You remember me don't you ?."
The man was surprised, he indeed remembered Xu Ye Han, but what the man was going to do to him.
The man quickly hid the blue flowers in his shirt, and made his body suddenly big.
"Blue flowers, right ? You will use it to poison Wei Lian instead?." asked Ye Han by playing the fan in his hand.
"Sok knows, I have nothing to do with you, and I have no intention of serving you either." replied the hooded man.
"Tell me what is your motive for hurting Wei Lian ? He's not a bad person, so you must be the one who holds a grudge against Wei Meng Fan." guessed Ye Han.
The man laughed at hearing that, "Hei Xu Ye Han you are indeed so pretentious, why are you so sure I will tell you ?"
"Aren't you scared because I know that Wei Lian was poisoned?" lured Ye Han towards the man.
"Even if you know, my master won't be afraid of Xu Ye Han" he replied.
"So tell me who your master is?." asked Ye Han by pulling out a fan in his hand.
"You think I'm afraid of that feminine thing ? You won't get an answer from me." he said, then took something out of his shirt.
Boom!!!
