Chapter 112 Brother-in-law, I’m Not Hungry Anymore
After traveling for several days, being able to eat a hot meal at an inn was considered very good.
Although Gu Yu’s space had everything, it was not good to expose it directly when outsiders were present on this trip.
So, upon hearing Ling Yan’s words, Gu Yu did not refuse. Instead, he prepared to take his younger brother-in-law down to have dinner.
“Brother-in-law, I’m not hungry anymore.”
“You haven’t eaten much all day. What will people from the Tang Sect think… Perhaps they’ll say you’ve practiced some longevity martial arts that allows you to abstain from food and not eat anything!”
“But, brother-in-law, you gave me so many snacks, my stomach is still uncomfortably bloated!”
“It’s fine to go down for a glass of water. If you let me go down alone, the Tang Sect people will ask all sorts of questions. It’s too troublesome.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth speechlessly, thinking that his brother-in-law wanted him to go down together just to have a shield!
So that the Tang Sect people wouldn’t bother him…
But he would also be asked all sorts of questions!
Thinking about these things dejectedly, when Gu Qingheng and Gu Yu went downstairs with Ling Yan, the Tang Sect elder, who had already recovered from the poisoning, was already sitting in his seat waiting for dinner.
Although the elder looked like he was about to enter a coffin when he was brought before Gu Yu, he had already recovered quite well after Gu Yu’s treatment.
At least, judging from his greatly increased appetite on the way, the elder’s body was not very healthy during the period of poisoning due to the inability to consume too much food. It was good for him to eat more meat dishes now.
“Divine Doctor Gu! Why are you so slow? I’ve been waiting for you for half a day. This plate of stir-fried bullwhip looks very delicious. Come and try it!”
“…Thank you for your concern. I’ve been eating vegetarian recently.”
After Gu Yu sat down, the elder sitting opposite him enthusiastically picked up a plate and, while speaking, wanted to hand the plate over, but Gu Yu quickly refused.
He didn’t want to eat anything like bullwhip.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but cover his mouth with his hand and chuckle, thinking that if his brother-in-law ate bullwhip, he would definitely clap and laugh!
He remembered that in the past… Gu Yu would force him to drink all sorts of soups made from animal penises.
However, why was one person missing from this table?
There were three people from the Tang Sect who came this time, but now there were only two.
“Is someone else not coming for dinner?”
“Tan Lin is feeling a bit unwell, so he is staying in his room to rest.”
After hearing Ling Yan’s explanation, Gu Qingheng immediately nodded, then looked at Gu Yu, his eyes conveying the meaning of “look, others didn’t come either,” which was very obvious.
Gu Yu pretended not to see it.
“Haha, everyone, come and eat!
“Brother Gu, I’ll propose a toast to you! Thanks to your help, the Tang Sect has escaped from danger many times. You are truly the savior of the Tang Sect!”
“It’s nothing, I just did it as a favor!”
When the Tang Sect elder raised his wine glass to toast Gu Yu, Gu Yu smiled, did not refuse, but raised his wine glass to touch the elder’s glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.
However, the taste of the wine was not very good.
There was no good wine in such a remote shop.
After drinking the wine, Gu Yu, who was accustomed to good wine, couldn’t help but frown slightly, but he quickly relaxed and did not show it on his face.
However, when Ling Yan and the elder toasted him again later, Gu Yu pretended to tip his head back and drink, but in reality, he threw it all into his space.
It was better not to let such poor-quality wine spoil his good mood, and it would be comfortable to sleep at night.
As for Gu Qingheng, because he was too young, he didn’t have the chance to clink glasses. Moreover, he wasn’t hungry in the first place. At this moment, he was holding chopsticks and idly picking out the bones from the fish, intending to remove all the bones from this fish before finishing the meal.
As for Gu Yu, after drinking the wine, he didn’t have much expectation for dinner today. Therefore, he just chatted with the two people from the Tang Sect and did not touch his chopsticks.
Interpersonal relationships were truly a headache!
Originally, Gu Yu didn’t need to come down, but as a fifteen-year-old, he couldn’t appear too impolite.
Although Gu Yu did not want to do this.
If the other party were not from the Tang Sect, he would not have to consider so much. He would act as he pleased… However, his younger brother-in-law’s future father-in-law was in the Tang Sect, so he had to behave well.
While Gu Yu was thinking about when this dinner would end, unlike the elder who was happily eating and drinking, Ling Yan was very anxious, thinking that if Gu Yu didn’t touch his chopsticks, the plan to poison him through the food could not be implemented normally.
Now, he could only start from the wine.
And now, after eating for a while, Gu Yu should no longer be wary. It was time to make a move.
Thinking this, Ling Yan gritted his teeth, then picked up the wine pot, quickly smeared poison on the mouth of the pot, and after pouring a glass for Gu Yu, he quietly waited for the outcome of Gu Yu’s death.
“Ling Yan, I must say you really don’t know how to read the room! I haven’t finished drinking yet, and you don’t even think to refill my cup! Forget it, I’ll pour it myself.”
However, at this moment, the elder looked at his empty wine glass and immediately reached out and took the wine pot, pouring the wine into his own cup.
This action made Ling Yan inwardly exclaim that it was not good.
Although Gu Yu had been poisoned, there was still some residue on the mouth of the pot. If the elder drank this glass of wine, he would also die!
However, Ling Yan could not remind him at this moment. He could only watch as the elder drank the wine in the cup.
So be it!
He had already killed his best friend, so he didn’t care about the elder from his sect anymore!
He originally intended to blame Tan Lin, who was already dead, for Gu Yu’s death, but now… he might as well kill them all!
After he dealt with everyone around him this time, he could say that the elder and Tan Lin had killed each other, which unfortunately implicated Gu Yu.
There were reasons for both outcomes. Now, he could only wait for Gu Yu to spit blood and die!
However, as Ling Yan was thinking this, he did not know that Gu Yu had not drunk the wine in the cup at all, but had thrown it all into his space.
Therefore, his plan was destined to fail.
However, it was not a complete failure.
Because not long after drinking the wine, the elder’s face suddenly turned red, then his body convulsed, his eyes widened, and when he spat out a mouthful of purple poisoned blood, he immediately went to see Yama.
When the elder’s appearance became abnormal, Gu Yu had already sensed the danger and immediately left his seat with Gu Qingheng.
Upon seeing the elder’s tragic state, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown. Then, his gaze instantly turned sharp, and he looked at Ling Yan, who had a look of surprise on his face.
This potent poison could kill a person in an instant.
The murderer was still here.
And among the people eating at the table just now, besides the elder who was already dead, only Ling Yan remained.
