Chapter 716 "A Good Play's Opening (11)"

"Elder,” coming through the door, the senior who earlier went to dispose of the body had returned. "I have buried the corpse within the usual spot as you instructed. It won't be long before the wild creatures in the forest dig into him. There is no need to pay the subject anymore heed."

“Mmm,” Muzhen calmly nods to affirm she's got the message. "Now that I'm being nominally under house arrest by the chief, I want you to pay closer attention to that side. If there's anything, anything at all from the estate, I want to know about it."

“Yes Elder…" sounding hesitant, the senior decides to ask what's bothering him anyways. "Regarding the girl from back then who tried to seduce the young lord, is she really just a commoner?"

“Of course!" Muzhen snarled at this, "Even if she isn't a commoner by the odd chance, the girl couldn't be anything more than a small clan's daughter. How can someone of that low blood be worthy of our young lord? I bet she knew his ident.i.ty beforehand and did everything to climb into the bed, that's 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?"

Apparently this old hag had forgotten her own place in life. She's only an elder, a subordinate of the main ruling house. The very fact that she's trying to dictate who or what's permissible to interact with her liege was in itself a treasonous act.

The old senior didn't object or raised anymore doubt to the woman. He didn't partic.i.p.ate in the matter from back then so he doesn't understand the full picture. However, an ominous sensation kept nagging in the back of his head like this wouldn't turn out well in the coming days.

“You can leave me for now, I want to rest." Closing her eyes, Muzhen showed a wary tiredness on her face.

Perhaps its due to her own student facing a miserable death, or it's the fact that she no longer has a place in the Misty Fairy House's controlling body, regardless of the reason for both, its all bad news.

“Yes, Elder.” Arching his fist, the old man respectful bid his farewell with a worried face before disappearing from this courtyard.

……

Meanwhile at the same time over at the main residence of the chief's home, Yun Feng wasn't attacking everyone within sight anymore. Rather, he's now all quiet lying there against the bed and even regained some of his handsome features from all those years ago.

“You… who are you?" Bai Yan points her finger in an uncertain way at the man's forehead.

He's 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 he's overcome with a wave of drowsiness. The person's not feeling weak or anything, instead it's a sense of calm that's allowing him to get some rest after going crazy earlier.

“I will definitely cure you, maybe then I will get some answers…."

In that moment when she said this, Bai Yan nearly couldn't hold her emotions in check. She has her suspicions and its really difficult to find any flaw with her theory. Nevertheless, she couldn't just jump the gun without proof.

This time I need to refine an eighth grade medicinal Dan pill. He's 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 won't 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: "Come in."

At her beckoning, a young maid slowly opened the door and strolled in with a tray in hand. The young la.s.s walked extremely slowly before eventually placing the item on the table.

“Miss, this is the medicinal ingredient you asked for.'

“I know, you can leave now." Giving an approving nod, she seems pleased by what's displayed before herself. "Go inform everyone that none is allowed to come inside afterwards when I start, regardless of what they hear or see…. understand?"

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 hasn't 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!
