When Tang Yu saw Liu Yirui again, the poison in Liu Yirui's body had already been purged.
Once the Dao of Poison entered the body, even someone of Liu Yirui's considerable cultivation suffered a solid setback.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was faintly awkward.
Liu Yirui was somewhat surprised that Tang Yu had returned alive and unscathed.
The matter of the refugees had been exceedingly difficult to handle to begin with.
And the assassin he had hired at great expense was undeniably formidable.
How had he still failed to deal with this brat?
While Liu Yirui felt somewhat guilty, Tang Yu was inwardly rather emotional. This fellow would probably be dead soon.
Once he died, he would conveniently vacate his position for him.
"Lord Tang, you've had a hard journey. How did things go?"

Tang Yu removed Liu Yirui's command token and tossed it back to him. "Thanks to your lordship's blessings, I barely completed the mission."
"Mm, well done. Go get some rest first."
Liu Yirui did not know the specific situation in Cloudveil Province. During this time, he had focused solely on recuperating and waiting for good news. Now that Tang Yu had not died, he could only wait for the next opportunity.
So long as this brat remained at the Northern Pacification Commission and answered to his commands, there would always be a chance to kill him.
Tang Yu answered with a yes and turned to leave, his attitude as impolite as ever.
After returning to his own territory, Tang Yu found someone and asked about the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had delivered the goods earlier.
Only after learning that the Thunderstruck Wood had been safely delivered to the imperial treasury
