After receiving the news from one of his loyalists, Shen Haoran immediately went to the warehouse and tasted the powder for himself. Similar to his loyalists, he did not experience unusual sensations from the powder, but rather, he tasted a sweet flavor.
Zhang Fei himself had expected that someone might notice Shen Shixi's actions, especially with the tight surveillance in the tower. That's why he selectively selected the poison seed, and its effect will not work immediately. In fact, without a trigger, the effect will never work, so they will never realize that it is poison.
"Do you feel anything different in your body after tasting it?"
"No." Shen Haoran's subordinate responded by shaking his head. "It's been a few minutes since I tasted it, but I still don't feel anything in my body, so I'm confused about the effects and purpose of your sister sprinkling it into our supplies."
"Did you see anyone coming to see Shixi, or did she meet anyone else before she came here?" Once again, the man shook his head at Shen Haoran, especially since Zhang Fei used his invisibility when meeting Shen Shixi, so no one noticed his presence in her room.
"That's weird! There are only two people who can escape your surveillance, but I'm sure that they'll never do such a thing."
"Are you referring to Shen Huang and Shen Xinya?"
"Yes." Shen Haoran nodded to the man. "They have powerful concealment artifacts, so nobody can detect their presence, and they may be in this sect by now. However, they are not the type of people who would use underhanded methods, so I am sure that they would not have ordered Shixi to do this. Experience new tales on мѵʟ
Shen Xueyi and her loyalists cannot divert your surveillance unless they are in their respective rooms, as the formations protecting them effectively block our senses."
"Have you contacted Zhiyu Fengzhi to check this powder?"
"We both know that Zhiyu Fengzhi is one of Shen Xueyi's loyalists, so there's no point in inviting him if he won't tell us the truth." Shen Haoran then used his qi to get rid of all the powder, but unfortunately, he did not realize that he had fallen into Zhang Fei's trap as soon as he touched it. "I will go see Shixi now."
"Should we replace all these supplies?"
"Not now." Shen Haoran responded by shaking his head. "Their wedding will start early in the morning in two days, so we will focus on that matter now, especially because it concerns our future. However, you can ask the others to get rid of these supplies, and we will replace everything after their wedding is over."
Immediately after Shen Haoran's departure, the man summoned several individuals to meet him, who promptly disposed of the supplies. Regrettably, they failed to recognize that the powder's effect had not entirely dissipated, leaving them vulnerable to its effects the moment they came into contact with those supplies.

*Bam*
Shao Shixi's heart tightened as she saw her brother standing up with an angry look after kicking the door, but she still managed to maintain her composure and asked, "What did you do? Why did you barge into my room like this?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Shen Haoran shouted as he released his aura, pressing Shen Shixi down on her bed. He immediately moved over to his sister and strangled her neck. "What is your purpose for sprinkling that powder on our supplies? Who ordered you to do it?"
Shen Shixi shook her head vigorously. "No one ordered me! I- Ugh!"
"Don't lie to me!" Shen Haoran shouted as he strangled Shao Shixi's neck even tighter, causing her face to turn extremely red and have difficulty breathing. "Tell me! Who ordered you to do that? Otherwise, I'll cripple your cultivation and feed you to the beasts."
Shen Shixi trembled upon hearing Shen Haoran's threat, particularly because her brother was known for his unwavering commitment to his word. However, she was also afraid of Zhang Fei's devil slave mark in her soul, and she did not want to die because of it. 'Damn it! Both options will kill me!
Rather than having my cultivation crippled and being eaten alive by beasts, it would be better if I died because of his slave mark!'
Shen Haoran became increasingly impatient and furious, and he pressed his palm against Shen Shixi's chest. "Don't test my patience! Speak now!"
After the three women left, Ying Sha asked her lover directly. "Why do I think that she has overestimated Zhang Fei's abilities? I know that he is indeed different, especially since he can advance from outer disciple to inner disciple in less than a month, and he will also advance to core disciple soon.
However, Shen Haoran and the others are powerful, and they are stronger than the Liu Clan; I do not believe that they can help him snatch Shen Yu from Shen Tianyu's hands."
Hong Xuan nodded in agreement to Ying Sha, but then she sighed softly. "However, if Shen Yu really turns away from Shen Tianyu and goes to Zhang Fei, I think it is possible that Mistress Shen will also side with him, especially since it is an open secret that the two sides have always been enemies.
If they and the Liu Clan join forces to support him, then I am sure that Shen Haoran and his loyalists will not be able to fight him."
"Your opinion is correct, Xuan'er." Sun Mei'er replied with a nod. "Mistress Shen loves her daughter very much, but she also has to think about her clan's situation, and her decision to betroth her daughter to Shen Tianyu was only to maintain clan stability.
Furthermore, second miss Liu exuded confidence in Zhang Fei's ability to handle Shen Haoran, suggesting that she has already approved of his relationship with her daughter and that she and her loyalists will undoubtedly support him."
Unlike them, Ying Feng did not care much about Zhang Fei and the others' affairs, and he was still frustrated that he could not kill Chu Youqian with his own hands. "Forget it! We are just a small clan, so we don't need to interfere in the affairs of major clans like them. Otherwise, we will be the ones who lose, and we will just have to wait to find out the outcome."

Two people were already standing on the edge of the eastern desert, and Yi Na asked Zhang Fei [1]. "Isn't this the location of the desolate sect? Why did you bring me here?"
"I heard Gang Jinshu is a possessor of the metal element, and one of my women has the same element as him." Yi Na was really surprised. heard Zhang Fei [1]'s answer. "Since I myself do not have the metal element, I cannot teach her about it. That's why I came here to see him, and I want to ask for his guidance on the element so I can help her master it."
After hearing that, Yi Na nodded in understanding. "I've heard about Elder Jinshu and his metal element, but he's a man who's always busy with his personal affairs, so I'm not sure that we can meet him directly."
"At least, I should give it a try first, right?" Zhang Fei [1] was about to take Yi Na to the desolate sect when suddenly, several men and women landed nearby, led by a middle-aged woman whose body exuded high confidence and dignity.
However, Zhang Fei [1]'s gaze was not on the middle-aged woman, and he smiled as he looked at one of the young women standing among the group.
Noticing his gaze, the woman turned to Zhang Fei [1], and her expression turned joyful before running towards him. "Fei! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
