"What? Are you worried that I'm from the Chu family and here to cause you trouble?" Feng Yuqin said coldly.
Xing Mengyao was taken aback, then shook her head. "No, you can't be from the Chu family."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin's eyes grew colder. "Of course you're certain I'm not from the Chu family. After all, you were worried that the Chu family would come back for revenge, so you investigated all of their connections to ensure your peace of mind."
Xing Mengyao fell silent.
She stared intently at Feng Yuqin.
She never expected Feng Yuqin to know about these things.
So, who exactly was she?
Xing Mengyao's mind raced as she recalled everything related to Feng Yuqin.
But, as Feng Yuqin had said, she had joined forces with the Wu family to investigate every aspect of the Chu family.
Among their connections, there was indeed no one named Feng Yuqin.
She had no impression of her, neither in terms of appearance nor age.
"Xiaobao, add two more doses of the poison for her," Feng Yuqin pointed at Xing Mengyao. "At least three doses for your Grandma You and her family. Give the other dose to her son."
"No, my son can't bear it," Xing Mengyao knew only too well how powerful this poison was.
Most of this poison had been developed by her.
She was from a family of alchemists.
While others preferred to study pills, she was fond of researching poisons.
Perhaps it was because of her interest in poisons that, while traveling, she accidentally entered an ancient tomb.
There, she discovered this poison.
Over the years, her main task had been to study this poison and continuously improve its effects.
Now, it was a strengthened version.
It was precisely because of this poison that, although the Xia family hadn't made it onto the list of the top ten families, they were still not to be underestimated.
"Your son can't bear it?" Dabao was now enraged. "What about Grandma You's family? They had done nothing wrong back then. You villains targeted them just because you coveted the treasures of the Chu family. You... deserve to die!"
In his anger, Dabao exuded a menacing aura.
Xiaobao rushed forward and quickly administered the poison to Xia Xuefeng. "Those who dare to bully Grandma You and Aunt Xiaomian's family truly deserve to die."
Xing Zhuojia and her brother had originally been standing beside Xing Mengyao.
Seeing Dabao and Xiaobao poisoning Xing Mengyao and her son, they instinctively stepped back.
"You two siblings don't need to be in a hurry. It'll be your turn soon," Feng Yuqin's cold gaze fell upon the Xing siblings.
"Feng Yuqin, although we had a bit of a conflict in the Outer Region and you eventually wiped out our Xing family, do you really have to kill us all?" Xing Zhuohua stared at Feng Yuqin with a gloomy expression.
Xing Mengyao, who had been writhing in agony from the poison, regained her senses upon hearing this.
She stared at Xing Zhuohua in disbelief. "Didn't you say that the person who wiped out our Xing family was named Feng Mo?"
Feng Yuqin let out a soft laugh. "That was my alias. What? After this competition, Xing Zhuojia found out my real name, but she didn't tell you when she got back?"
Xing Mengyao's gaze then shifted to Xing Zhuojia.
"Auntie, I wanted to tell you, but with everything that happened after I got back, I never had the chance..." Xing Zhuojia wasn't lying.
It was simply because Xing Mengyao was too busy.
It wasn't easy for Xing Zhuojia to see her.
Xing Mengyao wanted to say something, but the poison flared up again, and she curled up in pain.
"Ah..." Xia Xuefeng, who had been given double the dose of poison, let out a heart - rending scream.
The continuous wails echoed throughout the courtyard.
Those who hadn't completely lost their senses felt a sense of despair wash over them.
"It's your turn, you two," Dabao and Xiaobao walked up to Xing Zhuojia and her brother.
Although they had been poisoned once before, they had antidotes on them, so some of them had secretly detoxified themselves.
This included Xing Zhuojia and her brother.
"No, don't come near us," Xing Zhuojia kept backing away.
Xing Zhuohua's face was also pale. He tried to dodge, but when they were about to move, they found they couldn't.
"Just because you say don't come near doesn't mean we won't," Xiaobao snorted. "Why should I listen to you?"
Dabao was even more straightforward. He stepped forward with the poison in hand.
When Dabao and Xiaobao administered the poison this time, Feng Yuqin's specially - developed poison had been added.
So, taking the antidote would be useless.
Unless it was the antidote developed by Feng Yuqin herself, they wouldn't be able to detoxify.
Dabao and Xiaobao were quick and efficient. They administered the poison to almost everyone.
Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye stood quietly to the side, watching.
Although it was a bit cruel to let them do such things at such a young age, they knew that as their children, they would face even more cruel things in the future.
This time, with Xiaolinger's incident, if the two children didn't have an outlet to vent their anger, it would be detrimental to their growth.
So, Feng Yuqin held herself back from taking action, and she also asked Mo Xuanye to stay out of it as much as possible.
She let the two children handle it.
Although they were young, they needed to understand that it was also related to strength.
If their strength was not enough, then the fate of the Xia family today could be theirs tomorrow.
Although with Mo Xuanye around, such a situation wouldn't happen.
But they didn't want to take that one - in - a - million chance.
They wanted their children to have the absolute ability to protect themselves.
Especially since Xiaobao was about to leave.
If he couldn't overcome this, they wouldn't be able to rest easy with him going to the Divine Realm alone to improve his strength.
Dabao and Xiaobao didn't really understand the purpose of today's events.
But they knew that they had to avenge their sister and become stronger.
These unwavering beliefs took root in their hearts through today's events.
"Mother, Father, we've given them all the extra doses of poison," Dabao and Xiaobao immediately stepped forward to report.
Feng Yuqin reached out and stroked their little heads. "You did a great job. Remember, never be merciful to your enemies."
Mo Xuanye also spoke up. "If anyone bullies you, you bully them back. If you can't, come back and find your father."
Such a powerful backup made Dabao and Xiaobao's admiration for Mo Xuanye reach a new level.
However, they also hoped that they could become a backup for their family in the future.
Becoming stronger was the only thing they wanted to do now.
The education of Feng Yuqin and her husband was successful.
After this incident, the two children were even more determined to become stronger.
Outside the Xia family, there were already quite a few onlookers.
"Who on earth did the Xia family offend?" People outside began to discuss.
Except for the high - level members of some major forces who knew a bit of the inside story, most people still had no idea who the Xia family had offended.
"I don't know. There are barriers around the Xia family, and the roads are blocked. We can't get in, so we don't know what's going on."
Although these people didn't know what was happening, the shrill screams coming from the Xia family were so terrifying that the onlookers were filled with dread.
