Jiang Chuyue was thinking in her mind. Since the matter involved the past of Xiao Yihao's parents, she didn't want to interrupt and just sat aside without saying a word.

"Then how did you determine that I was my mother's biological child and not the one who was rescued?" Xiao Yihao's eyes were so calm that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"The jade pendant you have can prove your identity." Lin Wu smiled, "But even if you don't have it, as long as someone recognizes that you are your mother's child, they can still serve you as their master. Please go back to Wenling Pavilion and fight with me."

His words were straightforward and also revealed why he wanted to take action against Xiao Yihao. Since he had become the leader of the Wenling Pavilion, he naturally did not want to give up this position.

Xiao Yihao is the variable. It is normal for Lin Wu to make such a choice in order to consolidate his position.

But such means can be understood, but it does not mean they are acceptable.

"So you are afraid that I will compete with you for the Wenling Pavilion, so you strike first?" Xiao Yihao looked at Lin Wu without any fear, and met Lin Wu's probing eyes head-on.

Having sat in the position of the head of the Wenling Pavilion for many years, Lin Wu has witnessed too many big scenes. Most people have long avoided the oppressive aura brought by those in high positions for many years.

But Xiao Yihao and Jiang Chuyue seemed to be completely unaware of it and remained calm and composed. Jiang Chuyue even poured Lin Wu some hot tea at the right time.

"You were lucky that you didn't die in their hands, but if I'm not mistaken, it should have something to do with your wife, right?"

From the time Xiao Yihao was assassinated to the series of events that followed his return to Wanshan Village, everything seemed wrong and weird. Lin Wu's men were really confused, so they reported the matter to Lin Wu, who made the final decision.

"Then you may have guessed wrong." Jiang Chuyue immediately distanced herself from him, "I'm just a village woman who has never seen the world. How could I possibly help him so much?"

Lin Wu lowered his eyes and took a sip of the tea Jiang Chuyue had poured for him. After hearing what Jiang Chuyue said, he did not seem annoyed. Instead, his gaze on Jiang Chuyue was full of scrutiny and dissatisfaction. "You don't have to be so humble."

"I'm not a person who likes to be modest, but I really have no idea what happened in the town." Jiang Chuyue's half-true and half-false words made Lin Wu even more confused about their abilities.

She only told him what happened in the town, but what about the rest? She didn't say anything. As for what Lin Wu and his men would think, that was not something Jiang Chuyue could guess.

"However, I am more curious about why you have given up your previous plan and even want to meet both of us." Jiang Chuyue asked the question that she and Xiao Yihao wanted to know most.

Lin Wu looked at Jiang Chuyue more because of her honesty, "I came here this time to discuss cooperation with you." His gaze shifted back to Xiao Yihao.

"What cooperation?"

"Now your maternal grandfather's people in the Wenling Pavilion are naturally willing to support you, and my subordinates naturally don't want you to be promoted. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give you what you want, whether it is money or status, as long as I can satisfy you, you can ask for it."

Lin Wu bluntly stated the purpose of his visit, but his honesty made Xiao Yihao and Jiang Chuyue alert.

A person who once wanted to kill Xiao Yihao suddenly changed his attitude and proposed to cooperate. There must be something fishy going on.

"Why should I cooperate with you?" As soon as Xiao Yihao said this, Lin Wu's men drew their swords.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Your master hasn't even spoken yet, and you're already thinking of taking action?" Jiang Chuyue knocked the teacup on the table. Although she was smiling, her eyes were terribly cold.

The two sides are on the verge of a fight, and once someone takes action, a fight will definitely break out.

Jiang Chuyue alone was able to suppress the momentum of several of Lin Wu's men.

"Master of Wenling Pavilion, if all negotiations on cooperation are like this, I guess few of the cooperation you negotiate can be successfully concluded, right?" Xiao Yihao was not at all tolerant and directly retorted.

Lin Wu glanced at his men and saw that they put away their swords and knives, but did not mention their actions just now.

"I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?"

"Why should I cooperate with you?" Xiao Yihao asked back, "Why should I believe you, a person who wants to kill me and silence me?"

After a sneer, Xiao Yihao stood up. The moment he stood up, Lin Wu's men pounced directly at him and quickly became entangled with Xiao Yihao.

Jiang Chuyue did not act rashly. She and Lin Wu continued to sit aside, watching Xiao Yihao and Lin Wu's men fighting, and even gave them some advice from time to time.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?" Lin Wu looked at Jiang Chuyue who was sitting still. He didn't understand where she got the confidence to remain as calm as a mountain.

Although Xiao Yihao's boxing skills are good, Lin Wu brought only his elite men this time. After the lesson from last time, he would not be so impulsive, let alone make another fatal mistake.

"Why should I be anxious?" Jiang Chuyue slowly picked up a piece of meat, put it into her mouth, and tasted it carefully. "Shouldn't you be the one who should be anxious?"

After a pause, Lin Wu also became interested.

"After all, the person who is poisoned and about to die is you, not me, right?"

Although Lin Wu's expression did not change much, the shock in his eyes did not escape Jiang Chuyue's eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, you were poisoned and had to discuss cooperation with Xiao Yihao. After all, your body can no longer suppress the Wenling Pavilion that has ulterior motives towards you, right?"

Jiang Chuyue didn't say much, but every word hit Lin Wu's sore spot.

Lin Wu put one hand on the table and hid the other hand under the table. When he was about to take action, Jiang Chuyue spoke again to remind him, "You have barely controlled the poison now. If you use force, I am afraid that even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save your life."

This light sentence made Lin Wu certain that Jiang Chuyue was really capable.

"How do you know I was poisoned?" Lin Wu asked after weighing it over and over again.

"The meridians on your wrist have already begun to show signs of blackening."

Lin Wu subconsciously looked at his hands, but he was not proficient in medicine and poison, so he couldn't tell how Jiang Chuyue saw it.

"Are you well-versed in medicine?" No one in the Wenling Pavilion could cure the poison in Lin Wu's body.

Elder Gou, who is a skilled doctor, was a subordinate of the previous Pavilion Master. Now that he knows about Xiao Yihao's existence, it is naturally impossible for him to detoxify him wholeheartedly, so Lin Wu does not have many people he can use now.
