• Yue Guan told Ye Qifeng that every clue had implicated Dugu Bo in the poisoning of Spirit Hall’s Enforcement Team, though he had always doubted Dugu Bo would attack without reason.
• Ye Qifeng recalled that Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison corroded his body, had killed his son and daughter-in-law, and kept him occupied suppressing its backlash.
