CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 308: A BUNCH OF TOADS (PART 3)
Isn’t this explanation clear enough?
So it turns out she’s the one who poisoned us!
"Lin Wanyue! You, a woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion! You actually dared to do something so vile and poisonous! Hurry up and give us the antidote!"
"Unexpectedly, her appearance isn’t bad, but her heart is so wicked and venomous! She even has the nerve to say we deserved heavenly retribution! Turns out she’s the one behind it all!"
"Ow... my stomach is going to burst from the pain! Quickly, give me the antidote!"
For a moment, everyone, whether affected or not, turned their gaze towards Yun Ran, each with different expressions.
Lin Haoran stepped out at the right moment, with an upright and righteous demeanor, coldly staring at Yun Ran, "Lin Wanyue, you are way out of line!"
"Even if there were some minor misunderstandings or displeasures, one should not resort to poisoning. Quickly hand over the antidote!"
Yun Ran cast a disdainful glance at him and sneered coldly, "Did you see me poison anyone? If your eyes are just decorations, you might as well gouge them out and feed them to the fish!"
Lin Haoran: "..."
Lin Zhu’er immediately jumped out to defend, "Lin Wanyue, don’t try to talk your way out! Poisoning is such a despicable method; who else but a sinister, venomous, despicable scoundrel like you would use it?"
"If you know what’s good for you, hand over the antidote immediately, or we’ll tie you up and search you for it!"
Almost at the instant Lin Zhu’er finished speaking, with a swish, a dark object flew towards her at lightning speed.
It was so fast that before Lin Zhu’er’s raised foot even landed, everyone saw a bird’s nest on her head and a duck egg stuffed in her mouth.
Everyone: "?!..."
Lin Zhu’er looked completely shocked and dazed, staying still for several seconds before waking from the stupor, reaching out to pull the duck egg from her mouth.
Only after much spitting and pulling did she finally manage to eject the duck egg, but with it came two teeth and a mouthful of blood.
Everyone: "!!!"
Lin Zhu’er burst into tears with a loud wail, screeching like a banshee for Yun Ran to compensate her teeth, but with two teeth missing her words sounded comically airy.
"Outrageous! Lin Wanyue, you dare commit violence in public! I never thought you could be so audacious!"
Lin Haoran shouted angrily, then utilized Qinggong at his feet, sweeping towards Yun Ran like a tempest, intending to apprehend her himself.
Shen Weixi immediately stood nervously in front of Yun Ran, her right hand already grasping the sword hilt.
Although she had never fought with Lin Haoran, given that he could mix in with the talent-filled Yun Family Army and make a name for himself, he certainly wasn’t someone to be underestimated!
Lin Haoran frowned, speaking in a low voice, "Miss Shen, please step aside and don’t ignore right and wrong."
The Shen and Lin families were long-standing allies, and Lin Haoran needed to be considerate.
However, Shen Weixi stood tall, looking directly at him without yielding an inch, "You accuse Yue’er of poisoning without evidence, first using malicious words to provoke, and now trying to frame her, is this your idea of being clear about right and wrong?"
Lin Haoran furrowed his brow, concealing a flash of impatience in his eyes, then spoke righteously:
"Our colleagues are still suffering, and I don’t wish to argue with you over words. Let her hand over the antidote and apologize to Zhu’er, and we’ll consider the matter settled!"
"If you insist on protecting her, then I must offend you!"
Before his voice had faded, Lin Haoran suddenly attacked, his right hand forming into a claw to grip Shen Weixi’s left shoulder, then forcibly pushed her backward, catching Shen Weixi off guard.
In that split second, Lin Haoran’s left hand struck out like lightning, his fingers shaped like an eagle’s claw aiming for Yun Ran’s delicate, fair neck.
Shen Weixi gritted her teeth, spat "despicable," and drew her sword to stab at Lin Haoran.
But an arrow broke through the air, its wind whistling, moving with thunderous speed, piercing Lin Haoran’s left arm in the blink of an eye.
Lin Haoran’s body shuddered, and the hand reaching for Yun Ran froze in mid-air.
Without a second thought, Yun Ran kicked him squarely in the belly with full force, sending Lin Haoran flying seven or eight meters and then crashing heavily to the ground.
Whether it was the powerful kick causing internal injuries or the hard fall, as Lin Haoran landed, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Brother!"
Lin Yanran’s face changed drastically, rushing towards Lin Haoran.
Meanwhile, everyone was staring at the direction from which the arrow was shot, their eyes widening slightly, their faces full of shock and disbelief.
Because they actually saw... King Qin?!
He actually... came to the hunting ground?!
Yun Ran followed their gaze, grumbling inwardly.
Why did he come?
Could he know she’s here?
Truth is, she originally intended to disable Lin Haoran’s hand with a needle, but he acted first, so she just casually kicked him.
