Chapter 290: Old Friends Reunite

Long Yi was parrying every attack, while silently on high alert.

Suddenly, Aidong feinted with a punch. Long Yi took a half-step backwards in response but suddenly, a severe stabbing pain erupted from his foot. A sour numbness surged from his foot, spreading up his leg! Immediately, Long Yi's body swayed and collapsed to one side.

"Ha!"

Aidong lunged forward, landing a punch on Long Yi's neck. Another brief, sharp pain stabbed through him, followed by a spreading numbness that reached his entire head!

Poison?

A curse?

Are they joking? Do they believe such tricks would work on me? Long Yi recovered almost instantaneously, but did not immediately retaliate. He wanted to see just how these children intended to play their part! If they were merely attempting to earn the Emperor's praise with petty schemes, Long Yi would simply beat them up and end the scuffle. However, if there was a deeper plot at play, Long Yi was interested in discovering what it could be.
