Palace Envoy

Hua Yang smiled.

"Hehehe Elder Oei has withdrawn and retired at the edge of the forest, I will send an envoy to ask for his help. But, my Lord, Elder Oei is a bit unique, he, no matter how good he is, will not want to treat people without meeting them in person. Is there a possibility that Her Majesty's nephew could be brought here, or maybe vice versa?"

The eunuch saw Hua Yang return, the man who was the head of the clan who was a big party too. Well, because the abilities of the elders are nothing compared to the new generation, this party is more well-known for things like medicine. Until the big party didn't appear to be sticking out on the surface, and now seeing its chairman who had a calm face and was too polite, the eunuch thought he could do anything to him. They don't look rebellious, thought Eunuch Wen raising his hand.

"Ah never mind. That the little prince will also die from his injuries when Elder Oei heads there, it's useless, heh, it's a hassle. Chief Hua, you don't mind if I stay here for a few days while waiting for Her Majesty's herbs ready? We have almost run out of the herbs and she will scream in anger if she doesn't take them before going to bed. Since taking the herbs Her Majesty has been able to sleep well, so that is very important"

Hua Yang lowered his head again.

"Hehehe of course it doesn't matter, my Lord, you can stay as long as you want, let me take you to your room"

The eunuch smiled and raised his hand, and his servant who was also a young eunuch, Eunuch Yo held his hand as he stood up.

"After you, Chief Hua, you do know how to treat guests well"

"Hehehe what's a guest, my Lord has often come, more like a family now"

Eunuch Wen laughed again,

"Hahaha this chief is a sweet talker"

Hua Yang led the eunuch's entourage to the back of the hall leading to the bungalow for guests, passed A Ning, Mei Lan and the other disciples lined up by the door.

After they passed A Ning lifted his head, thinking about what the eunuch asked earlier.

"Hemh, Black Fairy poison," A Ning heard the name before, he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Why does he ask about the Black Fairy's poison, it was destroyed a dozen years ago," A Ning thought, after a long time thinking the young man walked out of the line.

"Where are you going, brother?" said Mei Lan followed him.

"Don't follow me, sis, Master will look for you later" Mei Lan was about to follow but A Ning looked at A Mo and A Li to hold her.

"But, where are you going, brother?"

He Tao who was sitting on the chair welcoming the palace envoy Wen Hua raised his teacup, sipping it slightly.

....

Night at Elder Oei's hut.

A Ning dismounted from the horse as soon as he arrived in the front yard of the cottage, can't wait to enter the small hut.

"A Yuen!" He called.

Elder Oei was already asleep in the front room. A Ning lowered his voice and crept towards the door of Er Yuen's room.

"A Yuen, are you asleep?" A Ning opened the bedroom door and glanced into the room, the atmosphere was very calm, but just as he opened the bedroom door, a black shadow shot past him from inside.

A Ning almost fell but he managed to hold himself, who came out past him? Inside the room, he saw Dai Yang who stood up to chase after the black shadow but he undoes his intention, instead are looks at A Ning and points at the door.

"Chase him!" He exclaimed. A Ning still stood dumbfounded where he was looking at the bed where Er Yuen was sitting with his eyes wide open. He seemed to be in good condition. Without waiting, A Ning decided to chase after the shadow that hit him earlier.

"Damn it!"

A Ning's feet were light on the bamboo floor but still made a sound before darting out the door.

The commotion wakes Elder Oei from his nice nap and looks around, he was probably just dreaming, he thought then lay back down and snored.

Inside the room, Dai Yang checked on Er Yuen's shoulder which had been hit by the person who darted all of a sudden from the window. His eyes widened when he found a very small needle-like wound on the young man's back shoulder. At first, Er Yuen felt a slight sting, but his body was getting weaker.

"Brother"

Dai Yang moved fast. He tore off Er Yuen's clothes, punched his blood path, and caused the boy to fall limply on his hand.

Dai Yang sat cross-legged behind Er Yuen and channeled internal energy through his palms.

"Ekh"

"Yen Yen hang on there."

From the courtyard, He Tao rushed into the room and glanced at Er Yuen's door, his eyes widened at what Dai Yang was doing now.

"Young master Yang, what happened?" He asked worriedly seeing Er Yuen's pale face which kept breaking out in cold sweat, from the color of his skin and lips it was clear that Er Yuen was poisoned.

"Insolent, they took a chance"

He Tao threw his hands in annoyance, as he headed to the vestibule to wake Elder Oei at the front.

"Old man, wake up quickly, your students are in trouble, why are you still sleeping like dead?"

Elder Oei jolted awake, at first he thought he was dreaming of seeing He Tao.

"Ugh, why is this rotten egg here again?" the old man yawned so wide while scratching his round stomach.

He Tao knocked on Elder Oei's head to wake him up.

"Hurry up, Er Yuen is in trouble, quickly check on how is he. I will chase the intruder"

After talking like that He Tao sped out.

Elder Oei widened his eyes, looking right in the room in front of him.

"Yuen'er" he got up quickly and enter.
