Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The wine entered his stomach.
Chu Bai sneered.
Success!
As a result, those who should have drunk the poisoned wine had all drunk it. Other than Venerable Yan, no one else would be able to withstand this poison! Even Venerable Yan would probably lose most of his combat strength because of this poison.
Since he had drunk it, Chu Bai would wait for the poison to take effect!
There was no need to fall out now.
“Hahaha! I’m very happy today!”
Chu Bai laughed.
“We’re also very happy.”
Everyone agreed.
“Yes, there are too many familiar figures. Xingxing, come and sit here.”
Chu Bai patted his side.
He still had to pretend.
Venerable Yan and State Preceptor Zhang felt that they were really trying their best to control Tan Xingxing.
Tan Xingxing knew that the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire was Chu Bai. She then stood up and glanced at Tan Tianxing.
Tan Tianxing patted Tan Xingxing on the shoulder and said, “Go ahead.”
Tan Xingxing walked toward Chu Bai and sat beside him.
“Xingxing, you didn’t drink today, right?”
Chu Bai asked.
“Your Majesty, 1 can’t drink wine. I drank tea just now. Please forgive me.”
Tan Xingxing said gently.
“Mm, it’s not a big deal. However, today is my birthday banquet. Don’t you intend to specially toast me with a cup of wine?”
Then, Chu Bai looked at Tan Tianxing and asked, “General Tan, what do you think?”
“Xingxing is still young,” Tan Tianxing said. “I don’t really want her to drink. I wonder if Your Majesty can let Xingxing toast you with tea instead of wine?”
As for State Preceptor Zhang, Venerable Yan, and the others, they thought that
Tan Tianxing was worried there was something wrong with the wine, so he wanted to change it to tea.
“Hahaha!”
Chu Bai laughed and said, “I knew you’d say this, so 1 agree to let Xingxing replace wine with tea!”
State Preceptor Zhang and Venerable Yan thought that the poison was in the cup and not the wine.
It was reasonable for His Majesty to think of this.
Then, Tan Tianxing stood up and poured a cup of tea.
“1’11 pour this cup of tea for Xingxing and let her toast to His Majesty.”
State Preceptor Zhang said, “General Tan, according to etiquette, you shouldn’t be the one pouring the tea. Even if tea is used instead of wine, Xingxing should be the one pouring the tea to His Majesty.”
Venerable Yan nodded. “Yes, that’s indeed the case according to etiquette. It’s not a big deal. The teapot is right there.”
Tan Tianxing then said, “Xingxing, use your own cup, then.”
Venerable Yan and State Preceptor Zhang sneered in their hearts.
Did Tan Tianxing think that the poison was in the cup?
It must be in the tea.
However…
It was really possible that His Majesty had poisoned the cup.
They looked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai then said, “Alright, Xingxing, go ahead.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Then, Tan Xingxing went down to bring the teacup.
“Do you want me to pour you some tea?”
Chu Bai asked with a smile.
“No thank you. 1 can do it myself.”
Then, she picked up the teapot beside her and poured herself a cup of tea.
Chu Bai nodded in satisfaction.
“I toast Your Majesty with this cup of wine. 1 hope that Your Majesty will become stronger and that the Kamikaze Empire will be strong.”
“Hahaha! Good!”
Then, Tan Xingxing drank the tea in one gulp.
State Preceptor Zhang nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that the plan had succeeded!
No matter how careful Tan Tianxing was, this place would be the emperor’s home ground. Tan Tianxing had no reason to refuse whatever the emperor wanted to do!
After all, Tan Tianxing was just a martial artist, so he was still not as scheming.
“Hahaha! Alright, 1 like Xingxing so much!”
Chu Bai laughed.
He looked very happy.
Tan Tianxing also praised Chu Bai’s superior acting skills.
Even though he was acting as an emperor, he was still able to make others unable to see through his flaws. His every move was very natural.
What a very powerful character!
At such a young age, this state of mind was not something ordinary people could compare to.
At this moment, a person behind coughed.
It did not attract too much attention.
However, Chu Bai noticed it.
It seemed that the relatively ordinary poison was slowly taking effect.
“No! Your Majesty!”
More and more people felt that something was wrong!
“Your Majesty!”
A few people stood up.
“What is it?”
Chu Bai asked indifferently.
“Your Majesty, 1 feel that something is wrong with my body. Why can’t 1 activate my spiritual power?”
The poison given to them could make them unable to activate their spiritual power!
It would not have much of an impact.
“That’s right, Your Majesty. 1 suddenly feel that 1 can’t activate my spiritual power.”
“What is it? Do you have the same feeling?”
“It’s the same for me too!”
More and more people stood up.
Plop!
A few people who stood up suddenly fell down.
“My body… 1 can’t exert any strength! This is not good!”
“It’s poison! There’s poison in the food!”
“It could also be the wine. It’s been poisoned!”
Everyone suddenly realized this point!
“What?!”
The experts were shocked!
This poison did not have much of an effect on people with slightly higher levels. It was a little similar to metabolism. They might not even know that they were poisoned.
However, to the rest, the effect was very strong.
Venerable Yan, State Preceptor Zhang, and the rest stood up!
“Where’s the poison?!”
So many people suddenly developed the same symptoms. It was definitely poison!
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Someone actually dared to poison everyone during His Majesty’s birthday banquet! They’re courting death!”
State Preceptor Zhang angrily rebuked.
Something was wrong!
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong!
Who could have poisoned everyone?
It was definitely not someone from the Imperial Palace, right?
Who would poison them?
Tan Tianxing?
Chu Bai?
However, they did not feel anything.
Moreover, it should not be Chu Bai.
Was Chu Bai not on the same side as His Majesty?
Then it was Tan Tianxing!
Was he really going to make a move tonight?
No way!
“It’s the wine! There’s poison in the wine!”
One of them took out a silver needle and examined it. The silver needle had turned black!
Bang!
Chu Bai slapped the table angrily.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare someone poison everyone during my birthday banquet?
Who could have come into contact with these drinks?”
“Your Majesty!”
“I’m afraid it’s not done by an ordinary subordinate. I’m afraid…” State Preceptor Zhang hurriedly said.
Even though State Preceptor Zhang did not finish his sentence, some people already understood.
Many people looked at Tan Tianxing.
Although the relationship between the emperor and Tan Tianxing had not been made public, the experienced officials in the palace more or less understood how much of a threat the Heavenly Dragon Army posed to the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire.
“Everyone, why are you all looking at me?”
Tan Tianxing stood up and said.
“General Tan, it can’t be you, right?”
State Preceptor Zhang asked..
