âElder,â coming through the door, the senior who earlier went to dispose of the body had returned. âI have buried the corpse within the usual spot as you instructed. It wonât be long before the wild creatures in the forest dig into him. There is no need to pay the subject anymore heed.â
âMmm,â Muzhen calmly nods to affirm sheâs got the message. âNow that Iâm being nominally under house arrest by the chief, I want you to pay closer attention to that side. If thereâs anything, anything at all from the estate, I want to know about it.â
âYes Elderâ¦â sounding hesitant, the senior decides to ask whatâs bothering him anyways. âRegarding the girl from back then who tried to seduce the young lord, is she really just a commoner?â
âOf course!â Muzhen snarled at this, âEven if she isnât a commoner by the odd chance, the girl couldnât be anything more than a small clanâs daughter. How can someone of that low blood be worthy of our young lord? I bet she knew his identity beforehand and did everything to climb into the bed, thatâs how she got pregnant in the first place. Someone who only schemes to become the mistress of our Misty Fairy House deserves to be crucified for their sins. What I did is an act of mercy, do you understand me?â
Apparently this old hag had forgotten her own place in life. Sheâs only an elder, a subordinate of the main ruling house. The very fact that sheâs trying to dictate who or whatâs permissible to interact with her liege was in itself a treasonous act.
The old senior didnât object or raised anymore doubt to the woman. He didnât participate in the matter from back then so he doesnât understand the full picture. However, an ominous sensation kept nagging in the back of his head like this wouldnât turn out well in the coming days.
âYou can leave me for now, I want to rest.â Closing her eyes, Muzhen showed a wary tiredness on her face.
Perhaps its due to her own student facing a miserable death, or itâs the fact that she no longer has a place in the Misty Fairy Houseâs controlling body, regardless of the reason for both, its all bad news.
âYes, Elder.â Arching his fist, the old man respectful bid his farewell with a worried face before disappearing from this courtyard.
â¦â¦
Meanwhile at the same time over at the main residence of the chiefâs home, Yun Feng wasnât attacking everyone within sight anymore. Rather, heâs now all quiet lying there against the bed and even regained some of his handsome features from all those years ago.
âYou⦠who are you?â Bai Yan points her finger in an uncertain way at the manâs forehead.
Heâs clearly just a stranger, why is he able to make my heart feel so painful?
Perhaps its her voice, or that face for some reason, but the conscious young lord was slowly closing his eyes like heâs overcome with a wave of drowsiness. The personâs not feeling weak or anything, instead itâs a sense of calm thatâs allowing him to get some rest after going crazy earlier.
âI will definitely cure you, maybe then I will get some answersâ¦.â
In that moment when she said this, Bai Yan nearly couldnât hold her emotions in check. She has her suspicions and its really difficult to find any flaw with her theory. Nevertheless, she couldnât just jump the gun without proof.
This time I need to refine an eighth grade medicinal Dan pill. Heâs been far too gone and for far too long, only a Supreme Dan Pill can suppress that inner demon within his heart now.
Bai Yan was by all intent purpose a genius when it came to alchemy, however, refining such a high-level pill was a first for her in this world. There are risks involved and it wonât do her good if that comes to past. Taking out her personal cauldron from the storage bag, the woman was just about ready to begin when a knocking from the door interrupted her session.
Stern in that voice: âCome in.â
At her beckoning, a young maid slowly opened the door and strolled in with a tray in hand. The young lass walked extremely slowly before eventually placing the item on the table.
âMiss, this is the medicinal ingredient you asked for.â
âI know, you can leave now.â Giving an approving nod, she seems pleased by whatâs displayed before herself. âGo inform everyone that none is allowed to come inside afterwards when I start, regardless of what they hear or seeâ¦. understand?â
Refining an eighth grade Dan pill was no laughing matter and would surely rouse a series of heavenly thunders from the sky. Thankfully this was not a ninth level phenomenon, otherwise her current body would never be able to endure that destructive force. Bai Yan still hasnât forgotten how she died in her previous life back on Earth. Anyone would be traumatized after being struck down by thousands of watts of electricity!
