Do you think Ye Lang is still confused and unaware that he is about to be sent into the tiger's den?
No, he realized it. He had known his predicament since the alchemist used the Alchemy Array to burn down the house. Although he was a little slow to realize it, it wasn't too late.
In other words, he is unlikely to notice anything that poses no danger to him, and he will not notice anything that does not attract his attention. However, once something attracts his attention, there is a certain chance that he will discover it.
Ahem, that's right, it's just a certain probability!
Ye Lang had just discovered from the Alchemy Array that the employer wanted to destroy the evidence, and thus discovered that the things he had just eaten seemed to contain some poison.
This is truly embarrassing; they were incredibly slow to realize things!
So he became shrewd, and once he became shrewd, he could figure things out immediately. He could guess that the things this person was transporting contained some unknown secrets, and to prevent the secrets from being leaked, he killed these mercenaries.
Fortunately, I am Immune to All Poisons, otherwise I would have been poisoned... but not killed...
Nonsense, Ye Lang has plenty of antidotes on him, plus he knows medicine and Internal Energy, so even if he's not Immune to All Poisons, he can still eat and drink.
At this moment, Ye Lang didn't make a scene. He wanted to know what this thing was, so he continued to play dumb. Anyway, he was an expert in this area, and everyone knew he was stupid without him having to pretend!
Ugh, pshaw, how can I call myself stupid? No way, I'm a genius, not a fool!
Of course, Ye Lang continued to pretend for a reason. It wasn't just out of boredom or a desire to cause trouble. He had discovered that this thing was an alchemical artifact. Although he couldn't see it, as an alchemist, he could sense it.
Moreover, he realized that this alchemical item was something he had never seen before, and it seemed to belong to a very special technique.
This piqued Ye Lang's curiosity; he wondered if this was one of those legendary...
Ye Lang looked at the object and then touched and tapped it with his hands. The employer didn't care about Ye Lang's behavior because he knew that this was not something an ordinary person could handle, so there was no need to worry.
"Hey, did you make this yourself?" Ye Lang asked directly, but his words gave people a strange feeling. What exactly was this kid? Was he a prisoner, a servant, or a young master?
"Don't call me 'hey, hey,' call me master. If anything happens in the future, just give me my name. My name is Cold-Blooded Thirteenth." The employer, Cold-Blooded Thirteenth, corrected him.
"Cold-Blooded Thirteenth?" Ye Lang felt that the name was familiar. That's right, wasn't he Thirteen? He was the Thirteenth Young Master Ye.
However, with the addition of the word "cold-blooded," Ye Lang became a complete stranger, someone he had never heard of or known.
"Never heard of it..." Ye Lang shook his head and continued.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of me. I'm not famous on the mainland." Cold-Blooded Thirteenth Shisan said with a smile. His smile was confident, and he didn't feel inferior because he wasn't famous. On the contrary, he seemed very proud.
"Oh, so he's just a nobody!" Ye Lang nodded, looking like he understood.
"..." Cold-Blooded Thirteenth fell silent. Although he didn't like this reputation, it was hard to accept being called an unknown nobody.
"Kid, listen to me! Even if I'm unknown, I'll definitely shock the world someday. So, I'm an unknown master, not a nobody!"
"Master, how much taller? You're not even as tall as me!" Ye Lang said disdainfully, and compared his height with Leng Xue Shisan's. Indeed, he was a little taller than Cold-Blooded Thirteenth.
"You brat, if it weren't for my interest in your body, I would have killed you long ago. But don't be too cocky. If you piss me off, I'll kill you too!!" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth's patience seemed to have reached a breaking point. If Ye Lang continued, he might really not be able to continue.
"You're after my body?" Ye Lang crossed his arms, feigning fear. "You might as well just kill me. I don't like this kind of thing. I'd rather die!!"
"..."
That look in his eyes, isn't he implying that I'm a homosexual?
"Damn it, I'm not that kind of person! This is disgusting! I'm talking about your body, your constitution, your Immune to All Poisons constitution!!" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth roared.
"Oh, so that's what it is. I was so scared. I thought I'd run into a pervert." Ye Lang relaxed. "It's not actually that difficult for you to have a physique like mine. I just ate something that made me like this."
"What is that?" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth asked immediately.
"Centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes..." Ye Lang listed all the poisonous creatures he knew, making everyone's hair stand on end.
"Do you think I'm like you? I'm not stupid. If I eat this, I'll die right away! Are you trying to kill me and then escape?" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth said coldly.
Ye Lang shook his head and said, "No, I'm telling the truth! Besides, if I wanted to escape, I wouldn't need to kill you. I can leave whenever I want!"
Many people would believe this and believe that Ye Lang could do it, but the Cold-Blooded Thirteenth in front of him did not believe it at all.
Cold-Blooded Thirteenth sneered, "If that's the case, why don't you leave?"
"Because I want to follow you and find out what this thing is!" Ye Lang pointed at the alchemical item. His words were honest and not a lie. Of course, Cold-Blooded Thirteenth still didn't believe him.
"So that's how it is. Then come back with me. I have many more things like this!" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth Shisan said with a sinister smile, like the smile of Dire Wolf.
"Really?" Ye Lang asked excitedly, seemingly unaware of the other person's smile.
It seems that after escaping danger, or rather, when there was no danger for the time being, Ye Lang became confused again, and just like that, the little white rabbit followed the Dire Wolf.
Yes, he understood the situation, but he didn't take it seriously. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him going with these people, even though he knew that they had killed people to cover up their crimes, including him.
What he cares about most right now is whether this alchemy technique is actually that kind of thing!
"Of course it's true, as long as you behave and don't cause trouble!" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth said, feeling like he was coaxing a child. Oh well, he wouldn't bother arguing with a fool.
When you're no longer useful, I'll tear you to pieces!
Cold-Blooded Thirteenth —if some people heard this name, they would be greatly surprised, no, they would be terrified!
