"May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
Zhang Yun saw everything and vaguely guessed what had happened.
There was just one thing he was puzzled about.
Not to mention Mr. Tang, even a god-like figure like him had never realized that the wine and food contained deadly poison before!
However, Zhang Yun was clearly somewhat surprised by this unexpected change. If he were to try to sense it, no matter how skillful the young man was, he would never escape his discerning eyes.
"My name is Huo Qing. I have long admired the name of the eldest disciple of the Tang Clan."
Huo Qing greeted "Tang Lian" with a harmonious smile, cupping his fists in greeting. Anyone unaware of the situation would think that the mass poisoning of Tang Sect disciples had never happened.
However, the moment Huo Qing met his gaze, a strange light flashed across his eyes.
Based on his years of experience with poisons, he had a vague feeling that "Tang Lian" was not poisoned at all.
Zhang Yun, a natural-born actor, quickly noticed the strange look in Huo Qing's eyes. He then slowly touched his head with his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Oh dear, I feel so dizzy, and I feel like I have no strength left in my body. Brother Huo, even I have to admire your methods of using poison!"
"You flatter me, you flatter me. Brother Tang Lian, you remained unmoved even in such a predicament. You truly are a young hero. Seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved," Huo Qing said modestly. He was extremely confident in his knowledge of poisons and did not think too much about it.
"My apologies, my apologies." Zhang Yun forced a smile and began to flatter him.
"Cough cough."
Lei Li suddenly coughed twice and said to Huo Qing in a deep voice, "Mr. Huo, it's more important to deal with important matters now. We can discuss the rest later, is that alright?"
"Sect Leader Lei, please make yourself at home."
Huo Qing smiled slightly and casually made way for Lei Li.
At this moment, all the Tang Clan disciples' sharp gazes suddenly focused on Lei Li, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.
It is obvious that Lei Li, the current leader of the Thunderbolt Hall, is one of the masterminds behind the incident.
Marrying his daughter into the Tang Clan was just one part of his plan.
Unexpectedly, Lei Li would sacrifice his own daughter to deal with the Dai Men!
That's really ruthless!
"Father, what are you doing?"
Watching her father walk step by step to the center of the crowd, Lei Xinrui's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
"Xinrui, let me remind you, you'd better not get involved in what's coming next, or even I won't be able to save you."
With a slightly meaningful glance at Lei Xinrui, Lei Li spoke indifferently, causing Lei Xinrui to suddenly feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
Is the person in front of me still the father who doted on me and whom I have always respected?
"Father, I don't care what you're doing, but my sister is your daughter! Why are you doing this, Father!"
Lei Wuting shouted loudly, his eyes filled with incomprehension and indignation.
He never imagined that his father would one day sacrifice his own daughter, his sister!
"Ting'er, just observe from the sidelines and don't spout nonsense!"
Lei Li flicked his sleeve and said sternly, his voice full of authority.
"Heh." Lei Wuting smiled sadly, suddenly realizing that he didn't understand his father at all, or what kind of person he really was.
Cold-blooded and ruthless, even willing to sacrifice one's own flesh and blood?
"Father, when the day comes that there are enough benefits, will you also not hesitate to sacrifice me, your son?"
He was utterly disappointed in his father.
"presumptuous!"
Lei Li immediately flew into a rage and slapped Lei Wuting across the face, but he clearly held back his strength.
"Remember! You are not Xinrui!"
“What’s the difference? Aren’t we all Father’s flesh and blood?” Lei Wuting retorted.
This was the first time in his life that he had openly defied Lei Li.
"If you really want to know, then I will tell you clearly today!"

"If you really want to know, then I will tell you clearly today!"
Lei Li retorted angrily, "You have always been my only flesh and blood!"
He didn't want to reveal the truth, but he also didn't want this incident to create a rift between him and his son.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both Lei Wuting and Lei Xinrui, siblings, had drastic changes in expression.
