Chapter 394: Poisoned

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Hidden in the sleeve, Hei Wu held the vial of toxicant named ‘Bone Eroding’, which he had obtained last night. Taking advantage of the chefs’ distraction, he sneaked into the kitchen.

The kitchen operated in two shifts. The first batch of meals prepared was for Qin Guang, the Sect Master, Elders, and other people with status. These meals were more sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish and eggs. The rest were for the ordinary disciples. Although they ate quite well, there was a noticeable difference compared to what the Elders enjoyed.

Hei Wujian couldn’t wait for Su Qian and the others to consume the poisoned food. He noticed that the exquisite dishes meant for the Elders were already prepared and kept warm in small containers made of flame crystal. This gave him an idea.

He cleared his throat and called out, “Someone come.”

“Oh, Lord Hei Wu, what brings you here?” The Chef Steward responsible for everything in the kitchen saw Hei Wu and hurried over with a radiant smile, nodding and bowing. He asked with a smile, “May I know what orders Lord Hei Wu has?”

“Cough cough, the higher-ups have instructed to deliver some good food to the people of Xuanyun Sect today. I think these prepared dishes look excellent. Pack some of them for me to inspect.” Hei Wu concealed the coldness in his eyes as he cleared his throat.

“Yes.” The Chef Steward immediately followed his instructions and quickly prepared a total of eight dishes, along with soup and a small wooden bucket of rice.

The spread looked quite appetizing, and Hei Wu found himself salivating as he inspected them. He nodded in satisfaction. “Mm, very good. Bring me two two food boxes.”

After successfully diverting the Chef Steward away, Hei Wu glanced around furtively, making sure there was no one around. He quickly added the toxicant to each dish.

Afraid that it might be lethal enough for Su Qian and the others, Hei Wu dumped the remaining toxicant into the rice and hastily covered the lid of the small wooden barrel.

“Lord Hei Wu?” The Chef Steward returned with two food boxes and asked in confusion, “What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing.” Hei Wu’s face turned serious again. “I have other matters to attend to. After you pack these dishes, send them to the guests of Xuanyun Sect. Remember, you have to go personally. Don’t neglect the guests.”

“Yes, I understand.” The Chef Steward nodded and watched Hei Wu leave in high spirits.

Hurriedly following Hei Wu’s instructions, the Chef Steward packed the dishes and left the kitchen in a hurry.

The kitchen consisted of both the cooking area and the dining hall. The disciples were already eating in the dining hall, and their daily meals had already been prepared. Many disciples were having their meal in the dining hall.

Hastily pa.s.sing through the dining hall, the Chef Steward was about to step out of the main entrance when he nearly collided with someone outside.

Fortunately, that person outside reached out to steady the Chef Steward. “Chef Steward, where are you rushing off to?”

“Young Master Qing Zhu!” The Chef Steward hadn’t expected to almost offend the n.o.ble. He immediately took a step back in surprise and hurriedly bowed to apologize. “I’m really sorry, Young Master Qing Zhu. I did not do it on purpose.” Without Yun Zong, Qing Zhu was the eldest disciple of Tianji Sect, so the Chef Steward certainly dared no underestimate him.

Fortunately, Qing Zhu had a well-known good temperament and didn’t mind this minor incident. “It’s no problem. Chef Steward, allow me to introduce the esteemed guests from Xuanyun Sect behind me..”
