Chapter 1313: Playing the Part to the Fullest

Manager Su was still very efficient; he truly locked down the news completely, not letting a single hint slip out.

Wang Lingbo naturally knew his own Thousand Night of Poison Feather very well.

Counting the effect of the top-grade detox pill, Liang Wanru's limit was forty days.

So early this morning, he sent his younger sister Wang Pianran over.

Wang Pianran brought a large group of people and surrounded the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion tightly.

To everyone's astonishment, Wang Pianran was actually dressed in a set of white mourning clothes, with traces of tears still fresh on her face.

Among the onlookers were many busybodies and spies from the three great families.

Many people were watching the conflict between the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Wang family for amusement.

Of course, they were laughing at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

The Wang family's specialty was using poison, and Thousand Night of Poison Feather was their signature move, killing without a trace.

Everyone knew that in this Guishan City, no one could cure the poison of Thousand Night of Poison Feather!

Because of this, everyone turned pale at the mere mention of it.

Even the Lin and Lu families were very wary of the Wang family.

After all, it is easy to dodge an open spear thrust, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.

"Su Linpu, hand over the person now! My Wanru was born a Liang and will die a Liang. Hand her over now!"

"By the way, your new guest alchemist at Wanbao Tower said he could cure my Wanru of the Thousand Night Feathers poison, didn't he? Call him out and let me see!"

"Wuwuwu... My Wanru! You died so unjustly!"

...

Wang Pianran, jiggling her flabby body, raised her voice and actually wailed loudly in front of the main gate of Wanbao Tower.

She kept saying "my Wanru" over and over, calling her with such familiarity.

This act took everyone by surprise.

Wasn't Wang Pianran a venomous woman who had laid hands on her stepdaughter?

What was this scene all about today?

Wang Pianran wept as if heartbroken, as though her own daughter had died.

Earlier, the Wang family had already done their groundwork, stirring up a huge commotion.

Wang Lingbo's goal was clear: since someone dared to challenge the Wang family's most formidable Thousand Night Feathers, the Wangs would seize this opportunity to crush him!

At the very least, they would crush that despicable brat and ruin his reputation!

Once Ye Yuan's reputation was tarnished, he would become a hot potato, and Wanbao Tower would never dare to keep him.

Without Wanbao Tower's protection, the Wang family could do whatever they wanted to Ye Yuan.

Having failed to humiliate Ye Yuan that day and instead being humiliated himself, Wang Lingbo could not swallow that anger.

He would not rest until Ye Yuan was dead.

A piece of trash dared to challenge him, the overlord of Guishan—he didn't even know how to spell 'death'!

That fat woman is disgusting; her blubber could crush the ground!

No kidding? She's ugly enough, but also vicious, poisoning her own stepdaughter with Zhenyu Qianye!

Yeah, but what's she up to today? Could the rumors be false?

But does Wanbao Tower really have the skill to cure Zhenyu Qianye? If they can't deliver after all that boasting, it won't end well!

Hey, Zhenyu Qianye is the deadliest poison in Guishan City; only a divine-grade antidote can cure it! That newly hired guest alchemist of Wanbao Tower has stirred up a hornet's nest—his days are numbered!

You said it! I heard that guest alchemist is a cripple, yet he dared to brag about curing Zhenyu Qianye. Isn't that just asking for a slap in the face?

…

Thanks to the Wang family's stirring, the matter of Wanbao Tower challenging Zhenyu Qianye had become a hot topic.

Not only did no one favor Wanbao Tower, but many also despised Ye Yuan, thinking he was nothing but a troublemaker who had brought a huge problem upon the tower.

If this wasn't handled well, the impact on Wanbao Tower would be enormous.

Just then, Manager Su finally made his appearance after much anticipation.

Seeing Wang Pianran's arrogant demeanor, he was secretly delighted.

Hey, even we didn't expect Ye Yuan to refine a divine-grade antidote. Wang Lingbo probably never dreamed of it either! If they hadn't spread the news, fine, but now that everyone knows, they've dug their own grave! The look on that stupid woman's face later will be priceless! Manager Su sneered inwardly.

Though he was gloating, Manager Su was an old hand—how could he show it?

Yang Rui had told him to keep things under wraps to maximize Wanbao Tower's benefit, slap the Wang family hard, and promote Ye Yuan as a master alchemist!

That would greatly improve Wanbao Tower's standing in Guishan City.

As for Wang Pianran's farce, Manager Su only sneered inwardly.

This is Wanbao Tower's territory; a woman like you has no right to make a scene! If you know what's good for you, leave now! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude! Manager Su said sternly.

Seeing Manager Su like this, Wang Pianran grew even more smug and sneered, "Su Linpu, so many eyes are watching! I don't believe your mighty Wanbao Tower would dare bully a helpless woman like me!"

Manager Su frowned and said sternly, "Wang Pianran, what exactly do you want? Aren't you afraid of shaming your husband's family?"

Wang Pianran sneered, "Heh, your guest alchemist barged into the Liang family with Luo Jian, kidnapped my Wanru, and gravely injured my husband and brother-in-law—that's going too far! Poor Wanru, you died so unjustly!"

Manager Su said displeasedly, "Nonsense! Miss Wanru is Ye Yuan's lifesaver; it was only right for him to rescue her. How is that kidnapping? On the contrary, you poisoned your own stepdaughter with Zhenyu Qianye—truly venomous!"

Wang Pianran's eyes darted; she was secretly pleased—the old fool had taken the bait!

"Su Linpu, don't slander me! Wanru always hated me for taking her mother's place, so she made trouble at home. I have a bad temper, and we clashed—that's true! But poisoning her was just a light punishment to make her back off! I had the antidote for Zhenyu Qianye; how could I let her die? No matter how wrong she was, she's still my husband's daughter. But that brat, lusting after her beauty, kidnapped her and bragged to my brother that he could cure Zhenyu Qianye! Now he's killed her! Wuwu... my poor daughter, you died so horribly! That brat is the real murderer!"

Admittedly, the fat woman's acting was spot-on; tears came on cue, and she wept pitifully.

Her crying actually fooled many people.

Her image as a venomous woman suddenly faded.

Because of her twisting of the truth, many now glared at Manager Su with anger.

If Ye Yuan was the real culprit, then Wanbao Tower was naturally an accomplice.

Wang Pianran's story was plausible, and she didn't hide her shrewish nature, which made the onlookers unable to hate her.
