Hearing Zhang Kuang’s very urgent inquiry, Zhang Batian frowned somewhat gloomily.
Soon, he spoke coldly, "It’s like this, Hu Xiaobei, who went to Miaojiang before, has returned unharmed!"
"What? Hu Xiaobei? Grandfather, you... you’re joking, right? Before, hadn’t we already found a master from the Dark World to deal with him? Could he still be alive? How is that possible!"
Zhang Kuang’s face was full of disbelief.
He knew that the masters from the Dark World were very strong, so he couldn’t believe they would fail...
Already impatient, Zhang Batian became even more annoyed upon hearing Zhang Kuang’s doubts, "What joke? Do I seem in the mood to joke with you? Right now, he has already got off the plane and went with Su Guo to the side of the unconscious Zhu Liwei.
Hearing Zhang Batian’s scolding, Zhang Kuang slumped down in defeat, "So... does that mean the people from the Dark World completely failed?"
"I don’t know what exactly happened; I’ll make a call to ask."
Frowning, Zhang Batian quickly picked up his phone.
Zhang Batian was in a very bad mood at the moment.
He knew that if Hu Xiaobei really could save Zhu Liwei, then his previous poisoning would have been in vain. Moreover, once Zhu Liwei fully woke up, he might remember that the poison was his doing!
"No, no matter what, we absolutely can’t let him wake up! Absolutely not!"
Muttering such chilling words to himself, he heard that absolutely lazy voice coming through the handset.
After confirming it was Umekawa Kuroko’s voice, Zhang Batian started grimly, "Quit the jesting, I’m asking you, did you accomplish the task I gave you?"
"What task? I can’t seem to remember it!"
"Playing dumb with me? The task I’m talking about is the one where I asked you to deal with Hu Xiaobei before. Don’t tell me you went to Miaojiang, but never found Hu Xiaobei at all!"
"That task? I tried, but unfortunately, I failed. And just so you know, I was thoroughly defeated by him and have acknowledged him as my master."
"You... you’ve acknowledged him as your master? Are... are you kidding?"
"I have no interest in joking with you! Oh and we’ve collaborated a few times before, and our relationship was fairly good, so let me advise you—never provoke Hu Xiaobei in the future, or you will die a very miserable death."
"You..."
"Alright, I’ve got things to do, so that’s all!"
"Beep... beep... beep..."
Hearing the busy tone, Zhang Batian’s face grew even uglier...
Taking a deep breath, the exceedingly irate Zhang Batian quickly tossed his phone aside.
Seeing Zhang Batian’s ashen face, Zhang Kuang quickly said, "Grandfather, what... what exactly is going on? Did the people from the Dark World really fail?"
"Yes! That good-for-nothing not only failed to accomplish our tasked mission, but he also warned us not to provoke Hu Xiaobei! He said that provoking him would make us regret it!"
"Grandfather, do we really... really just take this lying down?"
"Take this lying down? I can’t do that! I will fight him to the end. I want to see exactly how powerful this damn Hu Xiaobei is."
"Good, Grandfather, I support you!"
"Hmm! Go get ready, we’ll head over to Zhu Liwei later, no matter what, we absolutely cannot let him save Zhu Liwei, otherwise, we’ll lose our advantage."
"Okay!"
Agreeing to the plan, Zhang Kuang quickly went to prepare the car...
...
Hu Xiaobei was unaware of their irritation.
At the moment, he was sitting in the car, listening to Su Guo talk about the recent situation with Zhu Liwei.
After listening, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief because everything felt within his expectations...
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had been worried that after his departure, Zhang Batian would come and tamper with Zhu Liwei.
Now, after hearing Su Guo’s account, Hu Xiaobei knew he hadn’t done so...
In fact, before, Zhang Batian had wanted to tamper with things on this end.
However, after sending people from the Dark World to deal with Hu Xiaobei, he gave up on any tampering.
In his mind, the people from the Dark World would completely handle Hu Xiaobei, so he didn’t need to do anything else...
But he miscalculated, as the people from the Dark World didn’t have an effect, which was why he was now completely panicked.
Of course, all of this was unknown to Hu Xiaobei...
Hu Xiaobei looked at Su Guo and asked, "The medicinal materials I asked you to prepare in advance, are they all ready?"
Su Guo looked at Hu Xiaobei, responded with a lowered gaze, "Yes, all the medicinal materials you need have been prepared!"
"That’s good!"
Having said that, Hu Xiaobei began to close his eyes and rest.
Sitting next to Hu Xiaobei, Su Guo hesitated before speaking softly, "Master Xiaobei, when you asked me to keep an eye on Zhang Batian before, what did you mean?"
Before he left, Hu Xiaobei had instructed Su Guo to watch Zhang Batian.
Su Guo had done so, but he never really understood why...
Looking at the confused Su Guo, Hu Xiaobei explained, "I didn’t tell you before, but actually, Zhu Liwei was poisoned. I think he was the one who administered it."
"Is... is that true?"
"I know it’s hard to accept! But there’s an eighty percent chance it’s true! Later on, you and I will put on an act. Afterward, we’ll be able to test him thoroughly."
