Chapter 684: Why?

"So, who are the people you will send to carry out the mission with me later?" Xiao Tian inquired.

Jufan looked at his disciples and spoke, "Cheung, Deming, the two of you will go investigate our enemy with him later."

"Understood, Shifu." Because Jufan said so, Cheung and Deming agreed instantly.

"Bai Long, you go and accompany him too later." Yahui said to his disciple, who was sitting next to him.

"Leave it to me, Shifu." Bai Long had guessed that Yahui would choose him, but he didn't mind it because he had done dangerous missions many times in the past.

"Heiya, Da He, I choose both of you for this mission. You two go and accompany him too." Shuren spoke to his disciples.

"Understood." Heiya and Da He answered without thinking twice.

"Brother, I will go with you too." Zhao Sheng spoke abruptly.

"All right." Xiao Tian agreed instantly.

"Crystal, are you going with them too later?" Yahui inquired.

"I can't go with them because I have something to do." According to their plans, Lan Ruoxi would stay at home. That was why she refused instantly.

"Oh! Why?" Shuren wanted to know the reason why Lan Ruoxi would not go with them.

Yahui, Shuren, and Jufan believed that Lan Ruoxi was stronger than Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng, so they thought she would go with them earlier.

Before Lan Ruoxi answered Shuren's question, Xiao Tian immediately said, "Today is the day our big brother passed away, so she has to visit his grave."

"I see." At first, Yahui wanted to force Lan Ruoxi to go with Xiao Tian and the others, but after hearing Xiao Tian's words, he changed his mind.

Of course, he knew that Lan Ruoxi was the sister-in-law of Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng. He also knew that all this time, she had been taking care of them.

"Today is an important day for me, but I will participate in the next plan." Lan Ruoxi wore a sad expression.

"It's fine." Shuren said.

Jufan then returned his attention to Xiao Tian and asked, "So, when are you going to carry out the mission?"

"This afternoon. Maybe at 04:00 pm." Xiao Tian didn't want to waste time because he wanted to imprison his enemy immediately.

"Good." Jufan was pleased after hearing Xiao Tian's words.

They talked for another forty minutes before finally Xiao Tian, Zhao Sheng, and Lan Ruoxi went home.

"Don't you think Ace's behavior was a little suspicious?" Jufan inquired.

"What do you mean by that?" Yahui didn't understand why Jufan suddenly said something like that.

"I don't know but I have uneasy feeling since earlier." When Xiao Tian insisted on wanting them to send ten instructors to go with him earlier, Jufan suddenly felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

"Maybe it's just your imagination." Unlike Jufan, Shuren was not suspicious of Xiao Tian.

In his view, Xiao Tian's behavior was normal. Xiao Tian would go to their enemy's base later, so it was normal for him to want to secure his safety.

Not only that, but Xiao Tian's words also made sense. If Xiao Tian asked several disciples to accompany him, Shuren wouldn't mind even if Xiao Tian wanted fifteen disciples to go with him.

"I think so too." Yahui also didn't realize that he had fallen into Xiao Tian's trap. "And they are our juniors, so they wouldn't dare have malicious intentions towards us."

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking about it." After hearing the words of Shuren and Yahui, Jufan thought that he was overthinking.

"Chun Hua, we will carry out our mission at 04:00 pm today." Xiao Tian went straight to the point. "There will be five instructors with us, so make sure you won't make a single mistake later."

Currently, Xiao Tian was in the family room. After he arrived home, Xiao Tian immediately called Chun Hua to tell her that he would immediately carry out their plan.

"Understood." Chun Hua replied.

After telling everything, Xiao Tian hung up the phone.

"Zhao Sheng, have you prepared everything?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"Yes." Zhao Sheng then took out a poison. "This is Mushi poison. This poison is not deadly and its effects will wear off within one to two days."

Zhao Sheng then began to explain everything about the Mushi poison. Mushi Poison was created to deceive the enemy, not to kill the enemy.

Whoever drank Mushi poison would have a pale face. Their pulse wouldn't beat like a normal person. It was as if they were seriously injured.

Actually, they didn't need to use this kind of method. However, they were afraid that Jufan and the others would check his pulse later. That was why they decided to use this method.

At this moment, Lan Ruoxi, who was seeing them, was amazed by their braveness. As long as it could help them achieve their goals, Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng would do anything. They were even willing to poison themselves.

'These young men are indeed crazy! I wonder what their future will be like if they are already this crazy when they are still young.'

Even though Lan Ruoxi knew that Mushi poison was not deadly, but it was still poison. And one mistake could lead them to say goodbye to this world.

However, Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng still behaved normally. It was as if the poison was only a toy for them.

"Good! We will poison ourselves after imprisoning them later." after saying that, Xiao Tian looked at Lan Ruoxi. "Lady Lan, everything will be up to you in the next two days."

"You don't need to worry about it. I will take care of everything. But are you really going to poison yourself later?" Lan Ruoxi wanted to know what they had in mind. That was why she decided to ask that question.

"Yes." Xiao Tian answered instantly. "Why?"

"Are you not afraid? I think both of you don't need to drink poison later." the probability that Jufan and the other would check their pulse was only fifty percent, so Lan Ruoxi thought they didn't need to poison themselves.

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Xiao Tian answered instantly. "If they know we are fine, they will suspect us later."

"Xiao Tian is right." Zhao Sheng added. "And don't worry. Like what I said earlier, this poison is not deadly."

"Sigh." Lan Ruoxi could only sigh after hearing their words.

Because she knew that she would not be able to change their minds, she decided not to say anything anymore.

"Our leader has given me orders." Chun Hua spoke when she was in front of everyone. "At 04:00 pm later, he will come with five instructors. All of them are martial artists at the high-level master stage."

"Five instructors, huh?" previously, Mu Huo had thought they would come with more than five instructors.

"Yes," Chun Hua said, "There will be twenty instructors later, so they can only send five of them."

"Let's bring twenty people then." Since Xiao Tian didn't want them to make a single mistake, Mu Huo decided to bring twenty people later.

He believed that twenty people was more than enough to take care of five instructors because Chun Hua and he would be coming too.

"Can you allow me to participate in this mission too?" Ren Aoxu spoke abruptly.
