After being bitten by a five-step snake, while it wasn't as exaggerated as dying within five steps, the risk of death is high if timely treatment isn't received.

Xu Chunliang judged from the reaction of Han Tianchi's wound that the snake's venom wasn't extremely deadly, and Han Tianchi should be fine within an hour.

This is not the era of rampant killing, so Xu Chunliang decided to follow the local customs and hand this guy over to the police. He called Lu Qi, telling him that he had caught Han Tianchi.

Han Tianchi knew Xu Chunliang called the police, and he was helpless. Given his current situation, being caught by the police was better than dying from poisoning.

While waiting for the police to arrive, Xu Chunliang fetched a disposable syringe and injected Han Tianchi with antivenom. Although his life or death was irrelevant to him, dying in Huichun Hall was not auspicious.

By the time the police arrived at Huichun Hall, Han Tianchi's condition had stabilized. Lu Qi handcuffed Han Tianchi and briefly asked about the situation. Xu Chunliang only said he thought a thief had broken into his house, and upon catching him, found out it was Han Tianchi, the main culprit using cauliflower snakes for theft.

Han Tianchi, with half of his face swollen, hung his head without saying a word. He had been mingling in society for half his life, and today he fell into the hands of a young lad, almost losing his life.

Xu Chunliang did not mention Han Tianchi's attempt to use a five-step snake to murder him, and Han Tianchi certainly wouldn't speak of it. If he did, it would be attempted murder, a more serious crime. He also didn't know where his pet snake went. After three years of care, it ended up leaving with someone else, and being betrayed by the snake wasn't a pleasant feeling.

After the police left, Xu Chunliang found the bamboo staff Han Tianchi used to control the snake. The staff was quite old, and after carefully studying it, he found the word 'Poor' engraved on the head in seal script.

Looking at the word 'Poor', Xu Chunliang frowned. Could it be that Han Tianchi came from a poor background?

Poor background referred to the Beggar Gang, known as the world's number one gang. Even at the peak of the Five Poison Sect, they wouldn't provoke the Beggar Gang because of their vast numbers and skilled members. To truly offend the Beggar Gang would invite endless trouble.

Beggars are rarely seen these days. Xu Chunliang thought the poor background disappeared with time, but unexpectedly discovered traces of a Beggar Gang disciple here.

This bamboo staff is a typical Dog Beating Stick of the Beggar Gang. Disciples holding the bamboo staff can beat dogs and control snakes. In the past, almost every beggar had one, but in today's era, they are rarely seen, with more symbolic than practical significance.

Recalling Han Tianchi's threatening words, if this man had the vast support of the Beggar Gang behind him, then he indeed had some confidence. It seems that this peaceful era is not devoid of Jianghu, and more vigilance is needed in the future.

Xu Chunliang slept late and woke up early the next day to find the snake still coiled under the bed. After last night's twists and turns, the five-step snake had already regarded Xu Chunliang as its new master, silently guarding him.

Xu Chunliang had planned to let it go, but it refused to leave. After some thought, he decided to find a temporary shelter for it in the backyard. Fortunately, his grandfather wasn't home; if he saw the five-step snake, who knows how he'd explain it. All things have spirit, and this five-step snake has its method of concealment, not bringing any trouble to Xu Chunliang.
