Wan Hong was left speechless by Ren Jie's blatant and explicit words. He knew that Ren Jie had mentioned being able to detoxify Fang Qi in the Imperial Palace. At the time, he wondered if Ren Jie was spouting nonsense, if Ren Tianxing had truly left him something, or if Ren Jie himself had administered the poison.

However, after analyzing the situation, Wan Hong felt it was more likely that Ren Jie was just messing around and using the opportunity to humiliate Fang Tianen.

Because that day, whether it was making Gao Peng kneel and cry or cursing at the Gao Family Head, Gao Zhanyuan, in the Five Clans Great Hall, Ren Jie had seemed completely deranged. All of this seemed to have started after he was beaten by Gao Fei. Sixth Master had also asked him to investigate this matter. Since Ren Jie was fine, he didn't delve deeply into Fang Qi and Gao Fei, but he did keep a closer eye on their families.

Now that someone from the Fang Family had actually come, it seemed this Poison Needle was indeed extraordinary. The more this was the case, the more Wan Hong felt he could rule out the possibility of Ren Jie administering the poison, because where would he get such a potent poison that the entire Fang Family was helpless against?

It seemed the Fang Family was desperate and grasping at straws. They were probably hoping that Ren Jie truly had some detoxification Treasure left by his father.

Since Ren Jie had already said so, Wan Hong could only make a gesture of invitation and then lead the way.

Tong Qiang and Tie Ta wanted to follow, but Ren Jie waved them back. Although Ren Jie had no impression of this Sixth Uncle, Ren Tianzong, he could tell from Wan Hong's consistent attitude that at least he wasn't like the other members of the Council of Elders. So, Ren Jie genuinely wanted to meet him.

Primeval Forest, damn it, the family actually created a Primeval Forest inside? Wan Hong led the way, and it didn't take long before they entered the outer perimeter of Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's residence. As soon as they entered this Primeval Forest, Ren Jie was a little stunned.

It was truly exaggerated. This was not just planting some trees and having no houses; the air here was different from the outside, with unique humidity, density, and plants found only in a Primeval Forest, and it was the kind of Tropical Primeval Forest.

The trees here were not young either; they were brought here directly using Great Divine Abilities. Moreover, Ren Jie saw that the entire forest contained a formation.

But he could only see some changes on the periphery; he couldn't see the specifics, which clearly exceeded his current realm.

Awesome, interesting.

The more Ren Jie looked, the more interesting he found it. First, there was that mysterious old man with a smiling face, and now there was this Primeval Forest. Never mind what this world was like, just the interior of the Ren Family was full of mystery.

"Family Head, please come this way. Sixth Master is busy at the moment, so Family Head can wait here for a while." Because he really didn't expect Ren Jie to follow him directly, and it happened to be at this time, Wan Hong was also in a difficult position. He knew very well that even if the sky fell, he couldn't disturb Sixth Master at this time, so he could only ask Ren Jie to temporarily sit in a pavilion not far outside, while he prepared to go to another room to brew some tea for Ren Jie that Sixth Master drank.

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your work. We're all family, no need to be so polite." Ren Jie waved his hand with the demeanor of a Family Head, telling Wan Hong to go about his business. Seeing that some things were actually planted in the open space in the middle, he naturally and casually walked over.

Wan Hong originally wanted to stop Ren Jie, but thinking that Sixth Master didn't mind other places except for his room, he thought about it and didn't stop him.

At this moment, in a side hall of the Ren Family, Fang Yan was sitting there quietly waiting. After several days of effort, the effects of the Middle-Grade Life-Preserving Pill given to Fang Qi were about to wear off, but they hadn't found any solution. Fang Tianen had lost his temper countless times at home in the past few days.

Several unlucky people who were accidentally affected were beaten at least twenty times, and the serious ones were almost beaten to death. This couldn't go on, so in desperation, Fang Tianen finally decided to try anything, sending Fang Yan to the Ren Family to find Ren Jie. If he truly had any detoxification Treasure left by Ren Tianxing, the Fang Family was willing to pay a high price to purchase it.

Fang Yan had been sitting here for a while now. Although a Deputy Chief Steward from the Fang Family's inner sect was politely accompanying him, Ren Jie was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmph!" When the third cup of tea had already gone cold, Fang Yan finally couldn't help but let out an angry snort: "Your Fang Family's Great Family Head is truly busy! It wasn't this difficult for this Commander to see His Majesty in the Imperial Palace. Go tell Ren Jie that I am here on behalf of the Fang Family Head, the Seventh Princess, and His Majesty to discuss something with him."

Fang Yan was also very unhappy at the moment. Not only was he put in a side hall, but only a Deputy Chief Steward was sent to accompany him. Who did they think he was? Although he hadn't married the Seventh Princess yet, he was considered a prospective Imperial Son-in-Law, not to mention the youngest Commander of the Imperial Guards. The Seventh Princess and His Majesty both knew about this, so Fang Yan was unhappy at the moment and directly brought them up.

"No need to tell him, I just came from my boss's place. My boss is very busy right now, unlike idle people like you. My boss has to manage a large family like the Ren Family. He told me to tell you that if you're asking for help, you should act like you're asking for help. We told you long ago, but you didn't take it seriously."

At this moment, Fatty Gao Ren walked in from outside. He had just returned to Ren Jie's place to deliver the newly refined potion. He learned from Tong Qiang that Ren Jie had gone to Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's place and that the Fang Family people had finally arrived. After asking about Ren Jie's attitude, he immediately couldn't help but rush over first.

Idle person, he, a dignified Commander of the Imperial Guards, specially came to invite him, a Puppet Family Head, someone from Jade Emperor Academy who was about to reach level six in the first year, and he still had the nerve to call himself an idle person!! He was busy, what the hell was he busy with? Who in Jade Capital City didn't know that Ren Jie, this Family Head, only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry, and didn't care about anything else.

"Bang... What are you, and what right do you have to speak to this Commander here? Tell Ren Jie to come over immediately." Fang Yan slammed the table next to him, and the teacup jumped up high, saying angrily.

Gao Ren originally just wanted to tease this Fang Yan and see their attitude. After all, he had poisoned them with Ren Jie before, and as Ren Jie said, the harvest season had finally arrived, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Gao Ren was also annoyed when he heard this. No wonder the boss said not to indulge them, he was absolutely right.

"Yes, I have no background, I'm nothing. Before, I just messed around in the streets with the boss, barely making ends meet, it was miserable. I'm just a little hoodlum, a little rogue, a little follower, nothing at all..." Gao Ren originally wanted to take a look and leave, and wait for the boss to come back before going to the Fang Family together. But this Fang Yan's attitude was still like this, putting on airs even when he came to ask for help. He wasn't a good person when he saw him whispering behind the Second Prince in front of the Imperial Palace, and now he came here to show off. Gao Ren directly sat down next to Fang Yan and started talking to himself.

Hmm? Fang Yan frowned slightly. What was this white and chubby Dead Fatty, who looked like a ball, trying to do? He was cursing him, did he not understand? He was actually talking about how humble and lowly he was. Was he sick? Not to mention them, even the Deputy Chief Steward and some servants standing by were extremely surprised.

They thought this Fatty who was with the Family Head was sick. He was talking about himself in front of outsiders, belittling himself, and even wishing he could flatten himself. This was the first time they had seen such a person.

Just as Fang Yan was feeling strange, Gao Ren suddenly looked at Fang Yan and said excitedly, "Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Since a little shrimp like you has come, my boss sent me. To be honest, after being with my boss for so long, I can finally find someone of the same level to entertain. I'm so happy. Come, don't be shy. I'm here to entertain you today. That... who is it? Hurry up and bring some food. This is the first time I'm entertaining a guest of the same level, so I can't be impolite."

The Deputy Chief Steward and the servants standing by the side suddenly understood. Damn it, he's really bad. He's going around in circles, but he's actually insulting him.

Only now did they hear it. Two young girls with poor self-control couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although their voices were very low, after Gao Ren finished speaking, the entire side hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. This laughter sounded particularly harsh in Fang Yan's ears.

"Bang..." Fang Yan slammed the table, stood up abruptly, and glared angrily. "Dead Fatty, how dare you insult me? I think Ren Jie is just bluffing and has nothing at all. And you, Dead Fatty, remember this."

He had had enough. Fang Yan was ready to leave.

"Go ahead... Phew..." Gao Ren picked up the pastries the servant had just brought, broke off a small piece, and threw it into his mouth. He then picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and said slowly and wickedly, "My boss, as the Family Head, is busy with a myriad of affairs. How can you see him just because you want to? You're pretending to be arrogant and aren't even willing to wait. If Fang Qi dies later and we happen to have the antidote, tsk tsk... Sigh, what will Fang Tianen, the Seventh Princess, and His Majesty think and see you as?"

"But it's also good. If Fang Qi dies, maybe you can become the Family Head. It will be much easier for you to see my boss then, at least you'll be on the same level." The Fatty finished speaking, picked up the pastries next to him, and ate and drank.

Uh! Fang Yan, who had already taken a step and was about to leave in anger, suddenly stopped. His expression was as ugly as it could be, but in his heart, he already hated this Dead Fatty to the core.

Once these words were spoken, how could he leave? He couldn't leave even if he was beaten to death.

If he really left and Fang Qi died, and Ren Jie could still produce the antidote treasure, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Originally, he was outwardly angry but secretly gloating in his heart. Now, however, he had to awkwardly snort in anger and sit down again.

"You're back. I was just about to tell you, if you left, it would be fine to let your Family Head come. So many people in the Fang Family let you come. If Fang Qi dies, whose responsibility will it be? Isn't this clearly testing you?" Gao Ren looked at Fang Yan and asked very seriously, "By the way, is it because you're about to marry the Seventh Princess and have the Emperor's support to have a chance to compete for the position of Family Head, that Fang Tianen suspects you poisoned Fang Qi, and that's why he's specifically testing you?"

Fang Yan was very annoyed and angry by the question, but after calming down from his anger, he suddenly felt a wave of fear. If this Fatty was right...

Bah, bah, bah... This Dead Fatty is deliberately trying to provoke me. I absolutely cannot fall for it...

Fang Yan sat there with an ugly expression. He had also seen that besides Ren Jie, that crazy, fierce, and utterly Hedonistic Young Master of a Family Head, there was actually such a bastardly, fair and plump, fair and plump Dead Fatty by his side. It was simply too detestable.

If this wasn't in the Ren Family, he really wanted to go up and tear this guy's mouth apart. He was enraged and about to explode several times by what Gao Ren said, but Gao Ren ignored him, eating, drinking, and talking.
