Chapter 29: The Temptation of Leaving Home

                                    

                                          

Poisons, of course, Ye Fan knew how to concoct.
In the world of medicine and toxins, there is a blur line. Ye Fan could also brew poisons that could knock out martial artists of the Postnatal realm.
However, the use of poison, in reality, is not very extensive.
In battle, without specific techniques, very few martial artists would be affected by poison.
But if it's a case of lying in wait for a hare to run into a stump, then the effect of poison is far-reaching.
Soon enough, Ye Fan concocted ten sets of poison and handed them over to Ye Jinhai.
Ye Jinhai looked around the Ye family courtyard, set up traps under three walls, and placed the poison there.
The second trap was on the inevitable route into the courtyard.
Every location Ye Jinhai chose, it was as if he'd thoroughly studied the enemy's psychology.
Ye Fan was reminded of a saying, those who play with tactics have dirty minds.
After placing the last batch of poison in his room, Ye Jinhai dusted off his hands; now, all he had to do was wait for the fish to take the bait.
The news of Ye Jinhai being taken on as a disciple by the Heavenly Sword Sect began to ferment within Wanlu County.
The other two who were accepted as disciples, both came from powerful families in Wanlu County.
Only in the case of Ye Jinhai, Ye Fan seemed to be just an alchemist.
An alchemist is the most valued, yet also the most overlooked.
Usually, those who are good at alchemy seldom excel in combat.
Moreover, many people didn't hope for the Ye family to produce a powerful martial artist.
As such, many people had their eyes fixed on the Ye family's quota. Anyway, as long as they haven't formally entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if they died, the sect wouldn't intervene.
Previous years have seen instances where prospective disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect died before formally joining.
"Father, this Ye Jinhai is just from a small family, it seems we can take action, "said one.
The Zhao Family was also considered a powerful family in Wanlu County.
In the family, there were three Postnatal Realm martial artists.
Zhao Mu, who was the fourth candidate to be selected, would be chosen if a quota was vacated.
Zhao Mu didn't want to miss this opportunity, and neither did the Zhao family.
Especially after recalling the afternoon fight, Zhao Mu was biting with anger.
Ye Jinhai, this elder, must die!
"Big brother, I think we should take action tonight. He's just an alchemist, just kill him directly," Zhao Mu's father, Zhao Sheng, the second oldest in the Zhao family, said excitedly.
This year, given his son's age, he was very competitive.
If it were postponed to next year, his competitiveness would decrease a lot, and he might not get another chance at all.
"Let's take action."
Zhao Sheng's elder brother slapped the table, resolutely deciding.
The three men put on their black nightwear and skulked outside the Ye's mansion.
