Hearing the old man say this, everyone in the room looked surprised, even Ji Zhong, who usually kept a low profile.

"Old man, do you know why we are here?" Ji Zhong thought, this old man looks a little weird, he didn't know if he really has the ability or is trying to trick them, he might as well test him.

The old man took everyone's performance into consideration and said slowly, "You guys are here to find an antidote for that stupid boy."

"What silly boy?" Huo Qiyan was originally counting his fingers, and when he saw the old man suddenly looking at him, he looked at him puzzledly, "Old man, are you talking about me?"

But he's not stupid, is he? Could it be that this old man has poor eyesight and just misjudged someone? Huo Qiyan wondered in confusion.

The old man did not answer him, but Feng Rucen, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Old man, do you have a way to remove the poison from Xiaoqi? If you do, please help me. Even if I have to climb mountains of swords and climb volcanoes, I, Feng Rucen, am willing to do it."

As long as Xiaoqi can get better, he is willing to do anything and will never complain.

Ling Qing: "Me too, please save Huo Qiyan."

Ever since Huo Qi Yan became like this, Tong Tong couldn't eat or sleep well. He became a little neurotic and became very attached to Huo Qi Yan, as if he was afraid that he might not see him again someday.

If this continues, Ling Qing feels that he will probably be drowned in jealousy. In order to save himself and Huo Qiyan at the same time, he had to beg someone for help.

"Poisonous insect? Nonsense!" The old man frowned when he heard these two words, "Who told you that he was poisoned?"

Things like poisonous insects are illusory and exist only in legends. How could they really exist?

These silly guys must have been fooled.

Feng Rucen: ...He looked at Ling Qing and Ji Zhong with some confusion. They had heard about the poisoning from Ji Bai and Huo's father, but they really didn't know the details.

But now he didn't know whether to tell the stranger in front of him about this situation.

"Old man, you said you knew our purpose, but you can't even tell what trick this kid has fallen into. It seems that your ability is not that good~" Ji Zhong said.

The old man did not look displeased after hearing Ji Zhong's words. Instead, he looked at Huo Qiyan with a hesitant look. After a long while, he slowly sighed and said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you."

As he spoke, the old man slowly stood up from his chair and walked to stand in front of Huo Qiyan.

Huo Qiyan raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, and looked at him innocently, stretching the tennis ball in his hand forward, "Grandpa, do you want to play ball with me?"

Although Huo Qiyan's tone was very relaxed, his eyes were full of reluctance. This ball was given to him by his brother, and there was only one of it. He just wanted to have it all to himself. However, the old grandfather in front of him had white hair and probably had never played with it. He would probably play with him for a while. Later, he would just hide the ball secretly when he wasn't paying attention.

However, the old man did not take the ball from Huo Qiyan's hand, but stared at his face with a serious look.

Huo Qiyan felt frightened by his stare, "Brother, hug me..."

This old man is so scary, he looks like he wants to eat people.

Feng Rucen half-hugged Huo Qiyan in his arms, patted his back, and then looked at the old man with a serious face.

"Excuse me, old sir..."

The old man interrupted him directly, "I can tell you with absolute certainty that he was not poisoned, but was poisoned."

Ling Qing: "Old man, are you sure?"

After hearing that it was not Gu but poison, Ling Qing's expression gradually became serious. The Gu poison was too strange and he might be powerless. But if it was poison, maybe there was still hope.

"That's right," Ji Zhong agreed, "Who knows if you are talking nonsense? Our people said he was poisoned, how come it became poison to you?"

Although Ji Zhong didn't understand why the old man was so sure that Huo Qiyan was poisoned, he knew that this man was not a simple person.

The old man said, "Young man, it's no use trying to provoke him. Since I dare to tell you that he is poisoned, there must be a way to cure the poison."

"Tsk!" Ji Zhong curled his lips in disdain when he saw that his thoughts were seen through. Although the old man didn't buy it, his goal had been achieved and there was no need to say anything more.

Feng Rucen: "Old sir, do you know what poison Xiao Qi was poisoned with?"

When Feng Rucen heard the old man say that there was an antidote, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Indeed," the old man's eyes fell on Huo Qiyan who was playing ball alone again, "This was originally the fault of my people, so it's just right for me to solve it."

This is what the so-called cycle of cause and effect means. If that man had not broken into their village and taken away their family treasure, this young man would not have suffered this disaster. After all, they were the ones who harmed people.

Although Feng Rucen didn't know why the old man said that, "Thank you, old sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The old man: "No hurry, don't you want to know what poison he was poisoned with?"

Seeing the old man sitting back in his chair, still drinking tea leisurely, Ji Zhong was a little speechless, "I say, old man, you have been keeping us in suspense since we came in, if you have something to say, just say it quickly."

I hate this kind of people the most. When people ask questions, they don't answer directly, but talk about other things. None of their words hit the point, which is so annoying.

Isn't it good to be a straightforward person? Why do you have to be mysterious?

The old man did not feel offended by Ji Zhong's unreasonableness. Instead, he continued to make tea calmly.

"Stop it," Ling Qing stopped Ji Zhong who was about to say something disrespectful, "Old sir, please continue."

"I think this old man is a liar. Didn't Ji Bai say that Qi Yan was poisoned? But this old man insisted that he was poisoned."

"Young man, don't be so irritable. Come and have a cup of honeysuckle tea to cool down," the old man invited.

Feng Rucen and the other two looked at each other and finally sat down. They didn't know what the old man meant, but at least he didn't want to harm them.

Seeing that the three of them had sat down one after another, the old man slowly spoke, "The poison in this young friend's body is called Mermaid's Tears, a neurotoxin that promotes nerve disorders."

"What the hell???" Ji Zhong scratched his ears in disbelief, "Old man, you just said I was a big mouth, but you are no less nonsense than me."

Mermaids have come out, but he believes in the existence of poisonous insects and not mermaids. Although mermaids in fairy tales turn into humans and go ashore, it is impossible for mermaids to exist in reality.

"Mr. Ji, please listen to what the old gentleman has to say." Feng Rucen said.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up. You continue to make up stories, old man." I want to see what kind of story you can make up.
