Xu Lei and Jingchun were already pretending to be poisoned.
The food and dishes in front of them still contained a fair amount of poison.
After tasting it several times, the two had roughly analyzed what kind of poison their opponent had used.
Therefore, they could perfectly fake the effects of being poisoned.
The person who administered the poison was afraid of their actions being discovered.
Thus, the poison they used wasn't the fast-acting type.
It was a slow-acting one instead.
That was why Xu Lei and Jingchun chose this moment to pretend to pass out.
Sure enough, someone came in not long after.
But they were just two mortal swordsmen.
"Are they out?"
"Did you forget the master's orders? Just tie them up."
"You do it."
"Who's the boss here, you or me? We do it together. Or I'll cut you down first."
As they spoke, the two men approached with their blades drawn.
"THWACK."
But before they could act, Xu Lei's eyes snapped open, and he struck out with his palm.
