The elders sneered when they heard Bai Xuening's words, "What a joke! You think you can just quit whenever you want? You're thinking too simply! Of course, if you really have decided, we might agree to your request, but Bai Mengmeng, we cannot give to you! Because the Shao Family has already made a reservation in advance! We've already taken the reward the Shao Family provided, and now, if we don't give Bai Mengmeng to them, it wouldn't be right!"

"Reward? What reward are you talking about?"

Hearing Bai Xuening's loud questioning, an old man from the Shao Family coldly said, "It's a Pill our Shao Family has recently developed! It has great effects for prolonging life. If you don't believe this, you can ask those elders who have taken it; their health should have greatly improved compared to before!"

"That's right, our bodies have improved a lot after taking it!"

"Yes."

"Me too."

Hearing the excited elders chime in, Bai Xuening completely understood everything...

Previously, Bai Xuening was curious about the reasons behind the collusion between these elders and the people from the Shao Family...

Now, she knew everything!

Clearly, the reason why these people were willing to conspire with them was because the Shao Family had provided that life-prolonging Pill...

After understanding this, Bai Xuening looked at Hu Xiaobei with a helpless expression and said, "Xiaobei, you... do you have any ideas on how to save my daughter?"

Bai Xuening knew she was out of options, so she could only seek help from Hu Xiaobei...

Feeling Bai Xuening's helplessness, Hu Xiaobei gave a slight smile and said, "Ideas, I have plenty! But right now, we don't need to do anything, we just need to wait quietly!"

"Why?"

Sensing her curiosity, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the elders and said, "Because these old men are about to die!"

...

"What do you mean?"

"So cursing us is fun for you?"

"Yeah!"

Hearing them speak out loud like this, Hu Xiaobei pursed his lips...

Soon after, Hu Xiaobei coldly said, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin! I don't know what that so-called Pill you took before was, but it's clearly a poison! I know, right now you must feel rejuvenated, but in reality, you're about to die because the poison you've ingested is constantly draining your Life Force! Simply put, you are quenching your thirst with poison!"

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

"That's right! You're spouting complete rubbish!"

"Yeah, as if anyone would believe you!"

Hearing their skepticism, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the people from the Shao Family and said indifferently, "I know you don't believe me, so, with the Shao Family's people here, you can ask them for clarity."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei say this, all the Bai Family elders quickly turned to stare at the few people from the Shao Family.

The mind to harm others is not to be had, but the mind to guard against others is indispensable!

Previously, after hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they truly became completely nervous.

Because they knew, if what Hu Xiaobei was saying was true, their own deaths weren't far away.

The few people from the Shao Family were extremely nervous under such a scrutinizing gaze...

Especially the old man standing at the front, he felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were stampeding wildly in his heart...

This wild stampede was because his plan had been exposed by Hu Xiaobei.

Truly.

If looks could kill, Hu Xiaobei would have been killed countless times by him!

Previously, he had hated many people, but now, the one he hated the most was Hu Xiaobei.

...

Indeed, he had poisoned the Pill!

The reason was simple: he wanted to poison these people to fully annex the Bai Family.

He had thought this plan was extremely secretive, impossible to be found out...

But who would have known that Hu Xiaobei spotted it right away?

"What sort of crap is this thing, anyway!"

After cursing furiously in his heart, he took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "You... don't believe this young man; he's just spouting nonsense. Before this, I've had frequent dealings with your Bai Family. You know my character; I definitely mean you no harm. Heaven and earth can attest to that!"

He couldn't admit to it no matter what!

That was the plan he'd come up with just now!

He knew that if he admitted to poisoning them now, there was no way he would leave alive!

...

Hearing his oath, the faces of the Bai family members seemed to improve slightly.

They thought carefully and realized that he indeed seemed to have no reason to harm them.

Seeing that they were so easily swayed by a few words, Hu Xiaobei said coldly, "Are you all stupid? You've been convinced so easily?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak again, the person from the Shao Family cursed him inwardly two more times.

Afterwards, he quickly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense any longer. He's obviously trying to sow discord between us. I think the best thing to do now is to quickly put an end to him."

The Bai Family's elders nodded slowly upon hearing this.

They felt it was indeed best to kill Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei felt the murderous intent rising against him and shook his head gently.

Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei said with a cold voice, "You reap what you sow! Since you're courting death yourselves, I won't bother reminding you any further. However, I'm still rather kind-hearted and want to give you one last piece of advice. Now, if you gently press your temples with your hands, that's it, you don't need to press hard, just lightly place your hands there."

Hearing this reminder, they hesitated for a moment.

Soon, they quickly placed their hands over their temples.

The next second, their faces turned suddenly and terribly pale.

Just now, after placing their hands on their temples, they felt an overwhelming dizziness.

In that instant, they were on the verge of passing out!

...

"What the hell is going on?"

"Yeah! Could it be... could it be that the Shao Family really wanted to harm us?"

After quickly removing their hands from their temples, they glared at the people from the Shao Family with malice...

Feeling the bone-chilling coldness, their faces turned extremely unsightly...

At this point, the man leading the Shao Family really felt like crying...

When he took on the task of poisoning previously, he thought it was simple.

Now, he realized this task was much more difficult than he had imagined.

And the reason for all this trouble was this young man...

"I swear... I swear that sooner or later, I will thoroughly kill you!"

After sneering threateningly, he looked at his subordinates and yelled frantically, "Stop them! Stop them for me!"

"Yes!"

His subordinates, upon hearing the order, charged forward swiftly...

Seeing them charge, he quickly slipped outside...

The Bai Family members hadn't expected him to be so shameless, so by the time they came to their senses, he had already reached the gate.

"These idiots have no idea that I'm going to run. Thinking about it, they really are idiots!"

After mocking them, he added, "Just wait, once I bring more men back here, we will definitely wipe them out!"

He knew that the Bai Family's elders had already been poisoned and would have no combat strength, so once he brought more men over, they would likely be able to wipe out the entire Bai Family!

As he excitedly fantasized about this, the elder suddenly saw a young man smiling radiantly appear in front of him...
