Seeing this, Yang Wei clapped his hands gently, looked at him with eyes full of praise, and said, "I've heard that in the early years, the Jing'an Earl spent a lot of money to recruit a killer specifically to protect the second son of the Jing'an Earl's Mansion. Now seeing you like this, in such a situation, you can still maintain such backbone. You are indeed a man!"
Zishu hadn't expected these people to be silent for such a long time, only to be praised when they spoke. Seeing that there was no malice in their eyes, he was taken aback. Then he narrowed his eyes and stared at them, his expression still tense. He said in a deep voice, "I wonder why you brought me out here? Why don't you just tell me?"
The Rat now understood completely: these people had gone to great lengths to lure and capture him, but they had no intention of killing him. They must be plotting something against him. With this understanding, he calmed down. Despite his current disadvantage and low position, he managed to maintain some composure, his back straight, and waited patiently for the other party to speak.
Yang Wei and the others' eyes were filled with admiration. He stood up calmly, strolled over to the Purple Rat, and said leisurely, "Codenamed Zishu, you were one of the most famous assassins in the Hundred Killings Pavilion ten years ago. Later, the Hundred Killings Pavilion was disbanded due to suppression by the imperial court, but you disappeared without a trace and have remained undiscovered for all these years."
Zi Shu's face remained calm. In his opinion, since these people knew his name and past deeds, it would not be difficult to find out.
Seeing his nonchalant expression, Yang Wei pursed his lips into a faint smile, then continued, "Ten years ago, due to the imperial court's suppression of the Baisha Pavilion, you were seriously injured and on the verge of death. It was Jing'an Earl who accidentally saved your life. You should have been grateful to Jing'an Earl for saving your life, and you also promised to do three things for him. But who could have imagined that Jing'an Earl would take this opportunity to poison you and use it to control you for ten years. Is this true?"
Zishu could no longer maintain his composure. He stood up suddenly, looked at Yang Wei in astonishment, and shouted, "How did you know this? It's clear that only Jing'an Bo and I know about this. No one else knows!"
Yang Wei's lips curled slightly, and he said slowly, "Don't worry about how we know this. I have a master behind me, and my master knows everything. It's not surprising that he knows this."
Zishu's expression shifted repeatedly, but after a while, he finally regained his composure and slowly spoke, "What do you want me to do? Feel free to tell me. But since your master knows I was poisoned, he should understand that only Jing'an Earl has the antidote. I have to get an antidote from Jing'an Earl every month, otherwise my meridians will be severed and I will die. What do you want me to do? My ability is limited."
Yang Wei showed his honest smile again, and said in a firm tone: "I told you long ago that my master knows everything." After that, he took out a brown medicine bottle from his arms calmly, then raised his arm and threw the bottle straight at Zishu.
Zi Shu subconsciously reached out and caught the medicine bottle steadily. He stared at the medicine bottle that appeared inexplicably in front of him, full of confusion. He quickly looked up at Yang Wei, who was smiling at him silently, his eyes full of confusion.
Yang Wei didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly, "This medicine is called Baijie Dan. As the name suggests, it can cure all kinds of poisons. There are three pills in this bottle. Just take one pill every day. Within three days, the poison in your body will be cured. I just wonder if Senior Zishu has the courage to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Rat subconsciously squeezed the medicine bottle in his arms, his eyes full of surprise and doubt, and he kept weighing this sudden change in his mind.
Seeing Zishu hesitate, Yang Wei did not force him. He just raised his hand and casually patted the non-existent dust on his body, and then called on everyone else to prepare to leave.
Before leaving, he gave Zi Shu a seemingly kind smile and said loudly: "If you are a courageous person, you may as well give it a try. The opportunity to break free from the shackles of others and control your own destiny is right in front of you. If you don't have the courage, just pretend we have never met today." After that, he took the lead and walked out.
The Rat watched their receding figures, trying to hold back his anger, but finally couldn't help but shout, "Why did you bring me here, or rather, why did you do all these things?"
Yang Wei turned his back to Zishu, the smile on his lips becoming more and more smug, but his voice was still cold and honest: "If you use this antidote, come here in three days, and I will tell you what you need to do. If it doesn't work, just pretend that this never happened." After that, the figures of several people quickly disappeared in the alley.
Rat stared at the bottle in his hand, his grip tightening once again. After a long pause, he finally gritted his teeth, yanked the cork out, and poured out a brown pill. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it gently. He could smell the medicinal aroma, but he couldn't really tell what it was. Grinding his resolve, he tilted his head back and swallowed the pill, thinking to himself: Whatever, life or death, I'll take this one gamble.

Once Yang Wei and his companions were completely out of sight of the Rat, they immediately ran towards the martial arts hall. The darkness had already dissipated. They had sneaked out to begin with, and if they were spotted by the guards, they wouldn't be able to explain their motives. So, they could only sneak back in this stealthy, furtive manner, hoping to get back to the martial arts hall without getting into any trouble.
Once Yang Wei and his companions were completely out of sight of the Rat, they immediately bolted back towards the martial arts gym. It was already late at night, and the city had long since been under curfew. They had originally sneaked out to avoid the city guards. If they were caught by patrolling city guards, they wouldn't be able to explain their entire group's purpose. So, they could only retreat quietly, carefully avoiding any obstacles along the way.
By the time they returned to Yang Wei's martial arts gym, daybreak had already begun. The people behind him, who had been holding back all the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they finally reached the courtyard. A tall, thin man among them stepped forward, patted Yang Wei on the shoulder, and asked curiously, "Hey, is that pill really called the Hundred Remedies Pill? Can it cure all poisons?"
Yang Wei glanced at him as if he were a fool and said unhappily, "Nonsense, of course not. If there really is such a medicine, it would be miraculous."
When the remaining people heard this, they immediately gave up their curiosity, snorted, and dispersed angrily.
The tall, thin man had been suppressing his curiosity the entire way home, but when he finally got home, he got this answer. He felt like a deflated ball, and couldn't help muttering, "I don't know where you learned this from. You're becoming more and more unruly, making up anything."
