Un-Invited Guest

"Eh that, uh, if Lord Wen is willing to wait I will try to look for it in the forest, besides that plant, there are also other plants that can be used..."

Eunuch Wen's eyes glanced sharply at Elder Oei, stopping the old man's words.

Before long Eunuch Yo approached and whispered, and Eunuch Wen waved his hand.

Elder Oei, Hua Yang and later He Tao who had entered the room looked at each other.

"This Elder Oei, why do you bother yourself on looking again? My men accidentally saw the flower among your plant medicines in the back, it's still fresh, what a coincidence, I can ask for it, right? You know other plants are not as good as white fairy flowers, I know it from the palace physician, it is said that these plants only grow around the very fertile Cloud and Lotus valley"

Elder Oei stuttered, He Tao too, it's plant medicine for Er Yuen which can't be given just like that. Hua Yang shook his head at the old man Oei.

"Big brother, don't you have anything else? The plant is important for treating the poison in Yuen'er's body" whispered He Tao, Elder Oei shook his head.

"There is no more else, and according to Yuen'er the flowers that grew on the cliff of the Sparks Sun waterfall are also gone, this might be Yuen'er's last chance" whispered Elder Oei.

Hua Yang frowned in thought, if they refused the palace orders the punishment could be fatal, but that plant is a very important medicine, Er Yuen's life is at stake, how can they resolve this?

"Brother, then, can you give a half to Eunuch Wen?" Hua Yang whispered.

Elder Oei thought it might be the right idea, he looked at Eunuch Wen again.

"Eh my Lord, I'll get it, please wait a moment"

Elder Oei bowed his head and excused himself to go to his kitchen, Eunuch Wen glanced at Eunuch Yo to follow him.

Dai Yang and A Ning peered a little through the bedroom window. Dai Yang clenched his fists, how could the ugly-faced man dare to ask for the flowers that Yen Yen earned so hard?

…....

In the kitchen.

Elder Oei approached the white Fairy plant he was trying to grow in a pot so that it could grow more. Even though until that day the plant had not bloomed again and left a stalk with green leaves and a few flower buds that had not yet bloomed.

"Eh Eunuch Yo, you witness for yourself that this plant hasn't flowered yet, so it looks like it's not yet time to pick it." said the old man.

Eunuch Yo looked at the flower, and his hand without warning pulled the small plant out of the pot.

"Akh, be careful Eunuch Yo" Elder Oei belatedly stopped him. The young eunuch widened his eyes, he thought he could pull the plant to see it but did not expect that he would pull it all out. Elder Oei quickly put the rare plant back into its pot.

"Oops, oh my, please pardon me, th-this is, oh I could be beheaded for this" The young eunuch looks shaking because he had made a mistake. Elder Oei managed to put the plant back into the pot, hopefully, it wouldn't die because of the young Eunuch's rough hands, the plant was the hope for Er Yuen.

"Look, Elder Oei, this plant is no longer blooming, it's also not necessary to leave it to grow again, how about I bring it back to the palace? Who knows, the treatment at the palace can make it bloom and after that, I can send the flowers and leaves here, I promise to send it on time"

The eunuch looked stupid and innocent, but for some reason old man Oei didn't believe his words.

"No, this plant is very difficult to grow, even using soil from the Lotus Valley or the Cloud Valley may not necessarily grow well, let alone be brought to the palace. Just leave this plant here and after it blooms I will ask someone to deliver it to the palace"

Eunuch Yo squeezed his finger, he looked nervous.

"B-but, ouch, how is this?"

Finally, after going through tough negotiations, Eunuch Wen did not take the plant with him. Eunuch Wen agreed to wait for the plants to flower and sent people to pick them up. The group prepared in front of the hut, and the sky slowly began to darken, it's been a whole day since the group had visited the shabby hut.

Hua Yang, He Tao and Elder Oei lowered their heads as they watched the group leave.

Elder Oei stroked his beard seeing the group disappearing at the end of the small road, he took a deep breath.

"Heh, how come to the palace knows about the Black Fairy's poison and the White Fairy plant? This is very strange."

The three elders turned towards the hut.

"How is Yuen'er, is the poison of the Black Flower clan so dangerous?" Hua Yang asked.

Elder Oei stroked his beard again.

"Oddly enough they only gave paralyzing poison, were it not for the Young Master Yang in the room, that man might have taken Yuen'er away."

As the three were busy talking from inside the hut A He ran out with a panicked face.

"Te-Teacher, th-that, w-white fairy" As usual although panicked he couldn't get rid of his stammer.

"What's wrong, a He why are you panicking like that?"

A He pointed towards the kitchen.

"Th-that, white Fairy, it's gone."

Hearing this, Elder Oei's eyes widened, and without delay, the two ran into the kitchen.

Elder Oei's eyes widened when he saw the flower fairy plant in the pot was gone.

"Where's the plant? AHe did you move it?"

Hua Yang and He Tao searched around the kitchen, the commotion caught the attention of A Ning and Mei Lan who came out of the room. Dai Yang just stood in front of the bedroom door watching from afar, his fists clenched against the emotion in his chest.

"Could it be that Eunuch Wen took it? But when did he get in?" Elder Oei thought.

A Ning came out closer.

"Elder is a very important plant for Er Yuen, why can it be given to someone else, Yuen Er's life depends on it" he exclaimed.
