Chapter 56 Poisoning
At Qinghong Martial Arts School, at a certain time every afternoon, a dedicated person will bring extra meals from the restaurant nearby.
Of course it's not free, but it costs money.
However, because Lin Yan had spent a total of forty taels at Qinghong Martial Arts School before, Qinghong Martial Arts School gave him a high-quality token, which was equivalent to being a VIP in his previous life, and he could enjoy extra meals for free.
As soon as Lin Yan followed Xie Lingyan out, he smelled an alluring fragrance.
There were many people standing or sitting in twos and threes in the courtyard. They all wrapped a big pancake in oil paper and ate it deliciously.
In the middle of the yard, there was a large pot, with bubbles coming out of the thick soup. Inside, there was a pot of bright pig's feet stewed until they were soft and fall off the bones, shiny and oily, and looked very tempting.
There was also a wooden table placed next to the pot, with a stack of hot and baked, fragrant dough pancakes placed on it.
"Today I will eat pancakes with pig's feet!"
Xie Lingyan's usually calm eyes suddenly flashed with a lively light, and he walked straight over.
Lin Yan sniffed his nose, and fluid formed in his mouth unconsciously. The smell was indeed very fragrant.
People who practice martial arts consume a lot of money, so they get free extra meals. If you don't eat, you will get nothing.
Follow Xie Lingyan over there and queue up at the back.
In front of the pot was a fat chef in his fifties. When he saw Xie Lingyan walking over, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Miss Xie, it's still the same today, right?"
Xie Lingyan nodded.
The fat chef picked up a large piece of oily pig's trotters with a fork, chopped it into fat and thin minced meat, then cut open the hot pancake, filled it with minced meat, and poured a spoonful of soup on it. juice, then wrap it in oil paper and hand it to Xie Lingyan.
"Thank you, girl, please eat slowly this time, there is still plenty."
Xie Lingyan said nothing, took the pancake, nodded to Lin Yan, and walked back.
When Lin Yan was in line, he showed off his gold medal, and the fat master smiled and said, "Would you like me to be fatter or thinner?"
"Just be the same as Miss Xie."
Same steps, but the amount of meat is at least a quarter less than before.
Lin Yan didn't take it seriously. He took the cake and just turned around, slightly surprised: "Thank you, Miss?"
I saw Xie Lingyan standing behind him, standing as plain as before, like a stunning oil painting.
"Um, Miss Xie, are you waiting in line again? Where is your pancake?"
Xie Lingyan's face remained as usual, but a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.
The fat chef at the back put his head in and said, "Thank you, miss. You eat so fast. I have a lot more here. Come on, come on, I'll make another one for you."
Xie Lingyan clenched her hands into fists and coughed twice.
Lin Yan: "..."
Finished?
He subconsciously stepped aside to let Xie Lingyan pass by, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at her mouth and belly.
How can you eat so fast?
To put it bluntly, he is a martial artist in the Hard Realm. He can eat pancakes faster and more cleanly than ordinary people. His stomach is flat and flat, and there is no trace of oil on his mouth.
Lin Yan took the pancake and found a quieter corner. He lifted up his mask and took a bite of the pancake. It tasted really good.
Looking around, there were a lot of people in the yard, most of them were like him, spending money to improve, fight, and practice martial arts. Qinghong Martial Arts Hall had very few disciples.
This is normal. Qinghong Martial Arts School and Longmen School have different models. If Longmen School is a school, then Qinghong Martial Arts School is a private luxury training institution with very few disciples, but all of them are elite warriors...
That's what I thought.
Suddenly, a scalding heat surged up in Lin Yan's abdomen and spread to his limbs.
"Is this... the poison working?"
Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression instantly turned grim, and he lowered his head to look at the pancake filled with meat in his hand.
"Someone poisoned the cake! Moreover, I have tried this level of heat and blood flow..."
Each kind of poison, after being detoxified through special effects, will produce a different feeling of heat, blood, and qi.
Lin Yan took another bite and immediately confirmed: "This is... Shixiang Ruanjin Powder!"
In order to test the efficacy of the medicine, he once tasted some Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. The fever and flu he experienced at that time was exactly the same as now!
A chill ran down Lin Yan's spine.
Looking around, in the entire courtyard, people were chatting and resting, but without exception, almost everyone had already eaten pancakes!
There seemed to be an invisible storm slowly brewing in the courtyard, but no one was aware of it.
His heart sank, but his face remained calm as he ate the pancake and walked slowly towards the entrance of Qinghong Martial Arts School.
"Mr. Shi, are you leaving?"
Behind him, Zhou Meng shouted.
Lin Yan's heart tightened and he said naturally: "Yes, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent at home."
Zhou Meng said respectfully: "Mr. Shi, go on your way."
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this was the fault of Qinghong Martial Arts School and would prevent him from leaving.
Walking to the door step by step, no one stopped him. Lin Yan relaxed slightly in his heart, opened the door, and was about to quickly escape from the place of right and wrong.
However, as soon as he took a step out of the door, he felt a series of deep gazes, full of vague malice, coming from all directions.
The fruit vendor on the roadside, the beggar on the corner, the tea drinker in the attic opposite...
The moment he stepped out, he was keenly aware that the attention of the people around him was vaguely focused on him!
Lin Yan's breathing stopped for a moment. Qinghong Martial Arts Hall was surrounded!
His steps slowly stopped, and he did not continue outward. He slowly turned around, closed the door, and returned to Qinghong Martial Arts Hall.
"Mr. Shi, why are you back?"
"I suddenly remembered something."
Lin Yan was anxious, and with a quick glance, he walked straight towards Xie Lingyan, who was standing in the corner, savoring the second pancake.
"Thank you, girl. I want to ask you for advice again. Let's go to the room inside."
Xie Lingyan swallowed the pancake and said, "Let me finish it first."
"I can't wait any longer. Please come with me. This is very important."
Lin Yan stretched out his hand to indicate his solemnity.
Xie Lingyan hesitated for a moment: "Let's talk while eating, don't mind."
"let's go."
Lin Yan walked straight to the room where he had just practiced, and Xie Lingyan reluctantly followed him, eating pancakes one bite at a time as he walked.
After entering the room, Lin Yan closed the door directly, then poked a finger hole in the window paper, looked at the situation outside, and then turned to look at Xie Lingyan.
He said casually: "Miss Xie, why are you eating this second pancake so slowly?"
Xie Lingyan paused and said softly: "Because this is the third one."
Lin Yan: "...Warriors have a big appetite, that's normal...huh? What is that!"
Lin Yan exclaimed in shock.
Xie Lingyan subconsciously looked away.
Lin Yan immediately punched Xie Lingyan in the chest.
But Xie Lingyan reacted very quickly, with a flash of anger in his eyes, he ducked sideways, avoided the punch, and then punched Lin Yan in the chest, hitting Lin Yan in the chest.
Lin Yan was knocked back by the punch, but in the previous action, he had already taken advantage of the situation to grab the pancake tightly in Xie Lingyan's hand. As he retreated, he grabbed it forcefully in his own hand.
A flash of intense murderous aura instantly sent chills down Lin Yan's spine, his face changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Thank you, miss, for waiting, let me explain!"
After saying that, he took off the mask without hiding his face and took a big bite.
A trace of shy annoyance flashed across Xie Lingyan's face: "...Do you want to die by explaining it like this?"
The murderous intent spread across the street, and the chill was so intense that Lin Yan's expression changed again, and he retreated to the corner unconsciously: "Miss Xie, don't get me wrong, I had no choice but to do this in a desperate situation. You have been poisoned!"
