As time passed, by the time I stepped out of the family head’s chamber.
It was already well past noon.
Considering that it hadn’t been past noon when I entered the family head’s chamber, it meant we had conversed for quite a long time.
‘Hmm.’
I glanced at the sky and then looked back at the Poison King’s residence.
‘That’s a shame.’
The reason regret lingered even after such a long conversation was that I hadn’t gained much from the discussion with the Poison King.
If I were to count the benefits, it was that the matter of the Poison Heavenly Lake was passed off as an accident.
And the talk about the origin of the Poison Heavenly Pill and what to do with it.
I also roughly fabricated a reason for why I headed to Sichuan and told it to the Poison King.
This was mixed with the explanation of how I obtained the Poison Heavenly Pill.
In the part where I answered this.
‘I had to sell out Lady Mi… but it’ll be fine, right?’
Before leaving Henan, Lady Mi had told me to use her influence if needed, and that came to mind as I said it.
That I coincidentally acquired the Poison Heavenly Pill from the White Flower Merchant Group.
And in that process, the talk about the Heavenly Martial Body Birth Plan.
And that I learned it was still being carried out.
These were the things I told the Poison King.
‘He didn’t look like he believed it.’
Of course, the Poison King didn’t believe everything, but the actually acquired Poison Heavenly Pill was right in front of him.
Moreover.
‘The Heavenly Martial Body Birth Plan. That must have been the issue.’
It must have been problematic that I knew about a plan that wasn’t known to…
