Many people had heard of Feng Yuqin. Now, upon hearing Mo Xuanye's name mentioned, they were all speculating about the truth of Feng Yuqin's words.
However, soon they thought it must be false.
After all, with the emergence of the hermit families, they had gradually learned some things about them.
So they knew a bit that Mo Xuanye was a cold - blooded and heartless man.
How could a cold - blooded person take Feng Yuqin to cause trouble in another family?
Mu Weizhu noticed the reactions of the crowd and immediately said, "Feng Yuqin, you're really shameless when you lie. You come from a small country. How could you possibly know Brother Ye?"
"Brother Ye?" Hearing Mu Weizhu address Mo Xuanye like this right in front of her, Feng Yuqin narrowed her dangerous eyes. Her voice was as cold as ice as she said, "I'm from the Western Song State. Mo Xuanye is my fiancé. Why wouldn't I know him?
As for Miss Mu, addressing someone else's fiancé like that, are you so eager to offer yourself?"
These words were extremely harsh. Mu Weizhu's eyes widened in shock. She never expected Feng Yuqin to say such things.
The others were all confused, not knowing what was going on.
Xiao Ying glanced at the crowd and said, "I'll give you another quarter of an hour. If you don't ransom these people, I'll start breaking necks one by one."
These words made everyone shiver. Mu Weizhu also came to her senses and said to Feng Yuqin, "Feng Yuqin, you're so vicious. How could Brother Ye possibly take a fancy to a snake - hearted woman like you?"
At this moment, a hint of anger rose in Feng Yuqin's eyes. "Since Miss Mu is so concerned about the lives of these people, then Miss Mu can pay the ransom."
Xiao Ying nodded in agreement beside her. "That's right. Miss Mu is the eldest miss of the White Flame Sect. She shouldn't be short of spiritual stones or demon cores. If not, medicinal herbs are also acceptable. Anyway, we don't mind any treasures."
These people didn't want to pay the ransom in the first place. Now, hearing what Feng Yuqin and Xiao Ying said, their eyes all turned to Mu Weizhu again.
It was obvious that they really hoped Mu Weizhu would pay the ransom for them.
Mu Weizhu was immediately furious. "What do you mean? I'm speaking up for you, and you still want to extort money from me?"
Feng Yuqin didn't look at Mu Weizhu. Her eyes fell on the others as she said to them, "If Miss Mu is willing to pay the ransom for you, I can cut it in half."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was tempted.
They knew very well that Feng Yuqin was asking for a fortune this time.
And they had no choice but to take these people back by any means.
But they really didn't want to pay the ransom.
After all, the ransom for Young Master Cheng before had already made them feel heart - ache.
Now that Feng Yuqin had said this, a man asked, "Is what you said true?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Absolutely true. If you don't believe me, it's cash on the barrelhead."
Mu Weizhu and Hong Xiaoxiao's faces were not looking good at the moment.
She knew exactly what these people were like.
If they really asked her to pay, she would be in a mess.
If her father found out, he would definitely confine her.
Thinking of this, Mu Weizhu regretted coming out in person.
As if the situation wasn't chaotic enough, Feng Yuqin continued to say to those people, "Of course, if the young lady beside Miss Mu is also willing to help you, the ransom will be the same as what Miss Mu pays."
Hearing this, Hong Xiaoxiao's face turned pale.
She had the same thought as Mu Weizhu at the moment. Why on earth had she been so stupid to come out in person?
When they were in the hermit family before, she and Mu Weizhu were close. They usually didn't do anything bad in person.
Why did they come out in person this time?
Hong Xiaoxiao thought for a long time with a pale face before she remembered that it was Feng Yuqin's successive provocations that had made them lose their composure in the hermit family. That was why they had been so eager to take action themselves.
They always had a superior attitude in front of the aristocratic families in Tiancheng.
So they didn't take these people seriously at all.
In this situation, Hong Xiaoxiao understood that both she and Mu Weizhu had suffered losses this time.
"Miss Mu, Miss Hong, please be generous." A young master from an aristocratic family had negotiated with Mu Weizhu before, so he was the first to stand up and say.
With the first one, there was naturally a second one.
Mu Weizhu was almost fuming with anger.
These idiots. The people who were captured were from their own families. How could they have the nerve to ask her to pay the ransom?
Did she really look like a soft - touch?
Feng Yuqin said with a smile, "Miss Mu, those people are poisoned. If you drag it on any longer and those people die, it won't be my fault.
After all, these people came to kill me. I didn't kill them in return. I gave them a chance to live. If you don't ransom them, then their deaths will be blamed on Miss Mu."
"Feng Yuqin..." Mu Weizhu's face was full of gloom.
The others were stunned. They looked at Feng Yuqin in disbelief and asked, "What did you say? You poisoned them?"
Feng Yuqin nodded and simply admitted it. "Yes, they're all poisoned. As long as you satisfy me, I'll give them the antidote."
"How could you poison them?" A man roared angrily. "You're an alchemist, not a poison master."
In Tiancheng, only poison masters used poison.
Most alchemists disdained to use poison.
It was also for this reason that the people who came to assassinate at first were tortured so badly by Su Bing and Xiao Ying with poison.
And all those who knew that Su Bing and Xiao Ying used poison were dead. So people outside didn't know there was poison in Feng Yuqin's room.
Most people guessed that Feng Yuqin had spiritual pets and experts.
"I'm an alchemist, but that doesn't stop me from using poison." Feng Yuqin said indifferently. "Do you want to save them? They'll succumb to the poison in half an hour. A week after the poison takes effect, their deaths will be extremely miserable."
"Feng Yuqin, you're so vicious. You actually use poison." Mu Weizhu knew very well that these people were very averse to using poison. Now, hearing what Feng Yuqin said, she immediately thought she had caught Feng Yuqin's flaw.
Feng Yuqin looked at Mu Weizhu as if she were looking at an idiot and said, "For enemies, do I still need to care about what methods I use? Are you too stupid, or do you think I'm naive?"
Mu Weizhu was once again choked by the retort. Before she could say anything, Xiao Ying's voice rang out:
"Miss Mu, instead of constantly causing trouble for my master here, you'd better pay the ransom quickly. Otherwise, if something happens to these people, it will be your problem. After all, someone has already paid the ransom and taken the person away."
As soon as these words were said, someone asked, "Was the person who was taken away just now also poisoned?"
