Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

As Qing Cai was getting sent back, he had already regained consciousness. However, was completely confused and he kept on muttering, “Terrifying- Terrifying!”

“Cai’er, what’s wrong with you?” Qing Cai’s father, Qing Shi, saw that his precious son had turned into an idiot and he cried out with heartache, “What’s going on? Why has he become like this?!”

Those from the Beast Tamer Sect who carried him in answered, “We don’t know what happened either. It was Mu Ya Qi and Jia Nan Xin from the Array Sect who carried him back.”

“What about the people by Young Master’s side? Tell them to get their asses over here and tell us what happened!” Qing Shi glanced at Qing Cai again. There was the dumb look on his face again. He didn’t really become an idiot did he!

“Mu Ye Qi said that they have all died.”

“What?! How could they have died? Who did this?”

“They did not say. They merely sent Young Master home and left. However, we have already sent our men out to investigate. They should be back with the information soon.”

A short while later, those who went to investigate returned. Sima You Yue’s fight with Qing Cai and the others was not a secret. There were many who saw what happened, so it was not difficult to search for information.

“Sima You Yue! That Sima You Yue again!” Qing Shi gritted his teeth with frustration when he heard what happened. He couldn’t wait to kill her.

When Qing Cai heard Sima You Yue’s name, he started to tremble from head to toe as he called out, “Terrifying! Terrifying!”

“Hurry and invite doctors and those from the Alchemist Sect to come over and check on Qing Cai!” Qing Shi roared.

“I’ve already sent men to investigate. They should be here soon.”

“Vice Sect Master, just who is this Sima You Yue? She been in the Music Sect for such a short time but is already capable of using such powerful Music attacks? Could she have already learnt them before entering the Music Sect?” Qing Shi’s guard said.

“I don’t think so.” Qing Shi thought about it, then rejected his notion, “The last time when she entered the Music Sect, I saw her music attack. It wasn’t that powerful that it would cause everyone to commit suicide.”

“But many people saw it. Her Bone Flute caused those people to commit suicide.”

“She definitely used another method.” Qing Shi said with certainty, “Are those dead bodies still around? If they are, then get someone to investigate.”

“Understood!”

Someone left after receiving the order and another person entered.

“Vice Sect Master, the doctor is here.”

“Hurry and let him in!”

Two people dressed in doctor’s robes walked in from outside. When they saw Qing Shi, they cupped their hands in greeting. Before they managed to speak, Qing Shi brought them in front of Qing Cai and said anxiously, “Look, how is he?”

Mu Zhi was the favorite pupil of the Ninth Elder of the Doctor Sect. The art of healing had quite a reputation in the Hidden Sect. Because he had quite a good relationship with Qing Shi, he usually called on him to help with things on this side.

The last time Qing Cai had been injured by underworld beasts, he was the one who had treated him.

Mu Zhi saw Qing Cai’s condition and was rather surprised. Qing Cai was considered as the devil incarnate in the Hidden Sect, and he was the one who would torture others into this state. He had never seen him terrified into this state.

“Hurry up and examine him!” Qing Shi urged him.

Mo Zhi examined Qing Cai and said, “He has been given a scare. The opponent has used some method to strike terror deep into his heart. The rest of his body is unscathed.”

Qing Shi heard that his body was fine and heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. “As long as his body is fine, that’s good. As long as he’s fine.”

“Vice Sect Master, you cannot be early prematurely. Although he has no physical injuries, it’s more troublesome now that he’s in this state.” Mu Zhi said.

“Is it very serious?”

“If you don’t settle it well, it will become an internal demon.” Mu Zhi’s expression was serious, a testament to how serious this situation was.

“Didn’t he just see his own people commit suicide? How could he have ended up in this state? He’s seen worse things before.” Qing Shi felt like it was possible that he was exaggerating. How could it be that serious?

“I said it just now that the other party has used some unknown method to implant a terror deep into his heart, causing it to fall apart. Otherwise, based on Qing Cai’s personality, he would not be frightened to this extent.” Mu Zhi explained, “Right now, you have to help him expel his internal demons.”

“This Sima You Yue!”

“Sima You Yue? Is she the one behind this?”

“That’s right!”

“Tell me exactly what transpired. Let me see if I can find the root cause.”

Qing Shi told him about what happened today, even the sequence of those people who died.

“So you’re saying that her music attacks have already reached such a level? Didn’t she join the music sect not too long ago? Furthermore, it’s only?been three months, and Lu Yan has been in seclusion for two. Who taught her, then?”

“That is indeed the case. That is why I’m guessing that she used another method. Can you figure out any peculiarities from Cai’er’s body?” Qing Shi asked.

“Peculiarities? Are you talking about poison?”

“It’s just a guess.”

Mu Zhi felt like this guess could be possible. After all, Sima You Yue had only joined the sect for a short amount of time. To cause those people to lose their intelligence and kill themselves was not an easy feat.

“I can’t find anything.” He replied, ‘But I am not an expert in poison arts. There are many poisons that are difficult to detect. Why don’t you call someone from the Poison Sect to come and take a look?”

Qing Shi got his men to go out once again to invite someone from the Poison Sect.

The Beast Tamer Sect’s position in the Hidden Sect was a little higher than the average because there were many multi-specialist masters in the Hidden Sect, who were physically much weaker than spirit masters. However, they had a strong mental strength, so they could form contracts with many beasts and use them to make themselves more powerful.

That was why most people would give a certain level of social respect to the Beast Tamer Sect.

The only one who came was called Ou Yu Ling. she was the femme fatale of the Poison Sect and her relationship with Qing Shi wasn’t bad. When Qing Shi had sent his men to invite someone over, she came.

“I heard that your kid has been scared? If he’s scared, then you should find someone to comfort him. Why have you called for me? I don’t know how to treat the illness of the child.” Her fiery red silhouette said without holding back the moment it came in.

“If that were really the case, I would not have gone to look for you either.” Qing Shi said, “I wanted to invite you to take a look and see. Does Cai’er body contain any traces of poison?”

“He’s been poisoned?”

“Just a guess. Mu Zhi checked earlier, but he did not find anything.”

“Mu Zhi is familiar with some poison arts, but he didn’t manage to find anything?”

“He didn’t.”

“Then why do you suspect that he has been poisoned?”

Qing Shi explained his guess to her and Ou Yu Ling gained some interest in Sima You Yue.

“Merely a young child who has entered the sect not too long ago, but she has actually caused you to place such importance on her. Regardless, since even you have said so, I will help you to take a look.”

She came to Qing Cai’s side and saw his blank look, which was truly a lot more unusual than before. She examined Qing Cai’s body, and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Everyone knew that this was how she looked when she was interested.

“How is it?”

“Your guess is right. He has been poisoned.. With two, in fact. One will cause him to lose his intelligence, while the other…”
