Chapter 296: The Poisoning (Part II)

Back to Chapter List
?Mobile reading Qin Feng certainly didn't want Lin Caivé to join the special team. The reason was simple—he didn't want to blur the lines between work and personal life. In his view, work was work, and having a girlfriend, Shu Yajing, sharing his work environment was more than sufficient. Adding another woman, Lin, would certainly fulfill the ideal of having both a left and a right companion, but it might easily lead to confusion and a loss of direction. Moreover, He Muqing and Luo Man had already become his established targets; securing them would only be a matter of time. Once those two were under his roof, the rest of the team members would all be his girlfriends—how could he bear that? On the other hand, considering that the entire team would already be composed of women he loved, adding one more Lin would hardly make a difference. Well, perhaps he should just listen to her own thoughts first. The very next day, as soon as he entered the classroom, he asked the beautiful Lin sitting at his seat. Lin Meiren thought for a moment, and in a voice only he could hear, said, "Actually, I still really want to join, but I'm certain the old stick-in-the-mud members of the Lin family won't agree. Then I'll definitely have to cause trouble for He Leader. Although I never see myself as a Lin family member, it's still safer to be cautious about this!" Qin the Young Man nodded. "You're absolutely right. If it's not approved by Lin Fenglei, he'll certainly use this as an excuse and create all sorts of issues. How about this—when winter break comes around, I'll go back with you to visit my mother-in-law, hehe, and at the same time, find out Lin Fenglei's stance!" "Okay," Lin Meiren blushed slightly, her mind automatically picturing the scene of her mother meeting Qin Feng. Only then did Qin the Young Man notice that the seat next to him was empty. He thought to himself: "Well, maybe the young man from the Sun family, seeing he won't gain much advantage, has decided to step aside on his own." If that were the case, that would indeed be wonderful. Before they could even rejoice, Sun Cheng walked into the classroom with a large paper box in his arms, smiling and saying, "Classmates, I've brought chocolate for all of you!" He opened the box to reveal long, high-end chocolate bars, beautifully packaged. Qin Feng watched him closely, still distributing small snacks to win over the students, and murmured, "This kid is up to something again. He's clearly a cultivator, yet he acts so down-to-earth. Does he really think of himself as just an ordinary person?" "I'm not going to eat anything he brings," Lin Meiren remarked. Qin Feng immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the face. Sun Cheng watched clearly, seeing a flicker of resentment in his eyes, yet he still smiled and walked over, offering two chocolate bars. "These are 100% natural—no artificial vegetable fat or synthetic cocoa butter—please try them!" Lin Meiren paid no attention, while Qin Dashi, pretending to be serious, picked up a bar, examined it carefully from front to back, and then sneered, "Is it really pure natural just because you say so? In today's China, can you even find anything truly natural?" He then turned to the student behind him and said, "Here you go—would you like it?" "Of course! Bars of this brand usually cost several dozen yuan," the student replied without hesitation. Soon, the classroom filled with the rich aroma of chocolate, and everyone enjoyed it while praising it enthusiastically. Suddenly, the student sitting right behind Qin Feng began spitting white foam and collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably. The two exchanged a concerned glance. Sun Cheng had indeed tampered with the chocolate. As they were about to speak out in protest, Sun Cheng stepped in first, shouting, "This student has had an episode of epilepsy—luckily, I have some wind oil here. Please bring a glass of water over quickly…" With that, Qin Feng would find it difficult to claim that poison had been added to the chocolate. Sun Cheng appeared to be treating his classmates for epilepsy, yet subtly tapped once on the lower back of the patient. Lin Beauty watched clearly and noticed he was holding a yellow paper scroll. No explanation needed—definitely a detoxification charm. The two watched Sun Cheng perform with earnest dedication, exchanged smiles, and even though they jumped and darted around, they still ended up as mere clowns. A female counselor entered from outside, seeing the group gathered together, and asked, "What's going on?" One of the students replied, "Someone has had an episode of epilepsy, and Sun Cheng is treating them. He's truly impressive—he's managed to restore the patient completely!" The one who had been affected regained normalcy, puzzled, and said, "I didn't even have epilepsy!" Unfortunately, his words were overlooked. Chen Yue approached, nodded approvingly, and said, "Sun Cheng, you're truly remarkable. If it weren't for your knowledge of first aid, this student would have been in serious trouble!" "Ah, well, I happened to study first aid back in my childhood." Sun Cheng maintained a humble demeanor, naturally noticing Qin Feng and Lin Caiwei's condescending glances. Even if they knew the truth, what could they do? Could they possibly come clean with every single classmate? Sun Cheng felt confident precisely because he knew no one dared to reveal their cultivation status to the world. Qin Feng certainly wouldn't let him off easy; he reached out to Lin, requesting several talismans, then smiled warmly and walked over. Sun Cheng tried to retreat to the side, but he was completely surrounded by classmates and couldn't move. "Sun, you're truly outstanding—I admire you so much. Let's put aside our earlier frustrations with a friendly smile," he said, smiling brightly and patting his shoulder. Everyone in the class knew that Qin Feng and the newly transferred Sun Cheng had a strained relationship. Now, seeing him take such a step to reconcile, they all watched with cheerful anticipation, waiting to see how Sun Cheng would respond. If he showed even the slightest lack of grace at this moment, it would diminish the image he had carefully built in the minds of his classmates. Yet he was clearly aware that Qin Feng was holding a scroll in his hand—should the palm strike land firmly, Qin Feng would surely feel the impact. Even more pressing, Chen Yue added fuel to the fire: "I'm glad you two have reconciled!" Just as Sun Cheng was caught off guard, a sealing charm landed precisely on his shoulder, followed immediately by a charm of frenzy. Sensations of numbness spread through his body's nerves. While still retaining partial control over his movements, he pushed his classmates away with a strong, decisive motion, turned toward his seat, and said as he went, "This was merely a minor matter—I've already forgotten it. Qin, please don't mention it!" Once seated, his body lost all control. After all, Qin Feng had used not only the sealing charm but also the charm of frenzy. The frenzied incantation could produce intense psychological effects, making people restless and agitated—yet he was now completely immobile, his fury building inside but unable to find an outlet. The discomfort must have been unbearable. "Vivi, how long can this incantation last?" he asked with a smile. Lin the beautiful woman thought for a moment and replied, "If his level is a master of Soul Cultivation or above, the incantation's power will be fully dissolved within just one hour!" "Then let's start counting from now," he said, glancing at his wristwatch. To both of their astonishment, by the time the class period had barely begun, Sun Cheng had already fully recovered.
