"That’s right, the Supreme Old Lord was so enraged that he suffered unbearable stomach pain,"
Hu Banxian nodded, which was exactly what he had told the Xu Clan, and she immediately believed him.
Qiao Duo’er thought for a moment before speaking, "If I’m not mistaken, the Supreme Old Lord resides in the Ninety-nine Heavens. The Yuan Family Kid would have to head to the South Heavenly Gate of the Thirty-third Heaven first. Each Heaven is guarded by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. How could he have done that?"
Could Yuan Wei be the reincarnation of Sun Wukong?
Because he caused havoc in Heaven in his past life, this life he is punished with stomach pain? Isn’t that absurd?
Hu Banxian blinked, "Ah?"
He had never thought about this question before, and everyone in the martial world generally used the same excuse.
For so many years, no one had really questioned it.
Qiao Duo’er continued to inquire, "The Honourable Old Lord is busy with numerous affairs. How could he have time to personally deal with a little shrimp like him? Oh right, I’ve also heard that you can converse with deities. Could you ask on my behalf?"
Almond, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back and let out a low laugh.
"I pray to heaven and earth every year, wishing to become a rich man’s daughter. I’ve also burned a lot of spirit money. Could you ask Buddha why they don’t help me fulfill my wishes?"
If she became a lady of a wealthy family, surely no one would have sold her to become a maid.
Hu Banxian was at a loss for words, and the Xu Clan finally saw through him.
"You swindler, you just want to cheat me out of twenty taels, don’t you? What if you delay Shi Dan’s condition? Can you afford that?"
The Xu Clan glared angrily at the so-called half-immortal. Wasn’t he blatantly harming others?
And she had almost believed him!
Fortunately, Qiao Duo’er bore no grudges and got a prescription from Young Master Bai. Otherwise, she would be filled with regret and it would be useless.
Hu Banxian knew he had met his match and quickly said, "I just remembered there’s an urgent matter at home. I need to go back now."
"There’s no need to rush. I have a matter for you to tend to. Auntie, please have two people escort him to the Government Office. People full of lies like him should be dealt with, or they will only deceive more people." Qiao Duo’er said coldly.
The Xu Clan hurriedly nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have a good talk with the magistrates about this."
She absolutely wouldn’t let this swindler go!
Seeing the situation turn dire, Hu Banxian immediately thought of fleeing, but as soon as he stood up, he collapsed back into the chair, drained of all strength.
There must have been something in the water; the multiple women distracting him were just biding time for the drug to take effect.
This woman was ruthless!
By this point, he resigned himself to his fate.
He hadn’t done anything too egregious, and once at the Government Office, at most he would be beaten and then released.
It wasn’t long before Hu Banxian was bound and led away.
Once the room returned to quiet, Qiao Duo’er’s heart started to race.
She had an excellent memory and clearly remembered seeing this man before, standing right behind Xuan San at Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
Once at the Government Office, Qin Longyun should be able to pry out even more information from him.
Like... whether Xuan San was truly dead or not.
With just Zheng Shi and a little scoundrel prone to trickery, they couldn’t have come up with such a malicious plot, nor could Zheng Shi have obtained the poison,
Furthermore, Qiao Duo had been feeling like she was being followed lately, so she suspected that Xuan San was still alive.
But now, it was inconvenient for her to say more, as she didn’t want to startle the snake.
Anyway, the current Master in the Government Office was the same Monkey that had been lurking in Xuan Eagle Mountain Village. He would understand once he saw this person.
Sigh, she hoped it was all just her overthinking.
