Before he realized it, a heavy weight had falled on his chest and he shot out of the Banquet hall, landing in one of the pillars right outside and creating a human-sized dent on the red magnificence.
Shen Tianyu's brows had already furrowed in displeasure when Bai Yaoxuan mentioned the poison that had been ailing her. Now that this man who claimed to be her the girl's birth father not only did not try to make peace with the situation but instead stood on the side of that suspicious woman, she really couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't like she didn't guess that suspicious doings might be related to the official wife. She'd experienced her fair share of palace intrigue through movies and novels in her last life whenever she had time, being drawn to the mind battles despite hating the infighting. She also understood why the official wife might have killed off her husband's other women. However, Bai Yaoxuan was not a man and so would most likely not inherit the estate. Furthermore, there was more than one brother in this Minister Bai's household, most from different mothers. So it was not within reason for the official wife to target Yaoyao or her mother. And as far as she found out, Yaoyao's mother was not only low in position in the household, she was also not very favored by Minister Bai. Bai Yaoxuan was her only child and she was conceived on the wedding night. Minister Bai had not visited her ever since.
In addition to that, locking up Yaoyao in some dingy old courtyard while only giving the minimal care was not a responsible thing to do on the part of the official wife at all. If you're going to act virtuous, do it until the end. It wasn't like other households didn't know about Bai Yaoxuan's existence. Bringing out the other children but leaving Bai Yaoxuan to "guard" the residence didn't exactly contribute to the virtuous and well-behaved act she showed towards others.
"Husband!" It took a moment for Zhu Yazai to come to her senses and realized her husband had been kicked out of the Banquet Hall. She turned her gaze outside and wanted to run to him but Shen Tianyu pulled on her hair with a scowl on her face to keep her in place.
Minister Bai had blood trickling out of his mouth as he slid down the cracked pillar, pieces of it falling along with him as gravity guided him to the ground.
Zhu Yazai screeched as her hair was pulled when she tried to run forward, making her loose her footing and fall on her butt. Because of the grabbing, her hair had mostly fallen out of it's hairstyle and a few hairpins clanked softly as they fell to the floor. Zhu Yazai was about to turn around and scream at the person grabbing her hair but Shen Tianyu beat her to it.
"Mother!" A young man wearing ceremonial robes of a low-ranking official's son ran over to Zhu Yazai who was currently sitting on the red carpet. "Barbarian, let go of my mother this instant!" He seemed to be the son of Zhu Yazai and Minister Bai. Looks like he was the only one they brought to this banquet.
"Barbarian? I believe your mother is more befitting of this title, Bai Yangji." Shen Tianyu narrowed her eyes at the man who had arrived by his mother's side.
When the man tried to pull Shen Tianyu's hand to remove it, Wu Linghao stepped from his position and pinned him to the ground in a blink. Bai Yangji cursed at him but he stayed eerily silent for someone who would usually talk about even the quality of the air. His smile was wipe doff his face as he stared at the man beneath him expressionlessly.
Shen Tianyu didn't mind him as she pulled Zhu Yazai by the hair and forcefully held her up on her feet, the latter groaning as many strands have probably fallen from her scalp by the force. "Speak, where did you get the Goldthorn weed?" She seemingly whispered in the woman's ear but her voice was loud enough to be heard by even the servants standing in the nook and crannies of the now silent Banquet hall.
There was a collective gasp by everyone in the room. The Goldthorn weed itself wasn't poisonous but when boiled, it's toxins will flow into the surrounding liquid. The toxins circulate a person's meridians before settling in it's dantian, eating away at that person's cultivation until they become a waste before it starts devouring the life energy of it's host, eventually leading to death.
However, one goldthorn weed's toxins only last for about three days before it gets flushed out of a healthy person's body. If one wanted to truly harm someone with it, they'd need to continuously feed the victim the toxin before it gets completely flushed out. However, due to the crystallization of their core, the toxins of the weed is ineffective against Gold Core stage cultivators. However, on someone with a lower cultivation level, it could completely cripple and even kill them.
On the other hand, the Goldthorn weed is hard to find even when there are plenty of people with bad intentions that desire it. It's only found to be growing near bodies of cultivators that die in harsh heat like deserts. Cultivators usually do not travel to places with harsh conditions much, as most can live a perfectly good life as a cultivator even if your roots are poor. After all, only less than one quarter of the entire human population are cultivators. And if they are forced to travel such harsh conditions, cultivators would usually prepare thoroughly beforehand, since they value their place in society and the benefits it grants them.
