Chapter 159
Chapter 159 - Your Father Is Not My Father
The medicine was quickly brought over, and Yin Xu ordered someone to bring over a large wooden barrel. He stood on one side and directed one of Qingsheng's senior brothers to pour medicine into the barrel, and on the other side, a attendant carried hot water and poured it into the barrel.
It was a pity that even though Qingsheng's martial talent was high, he couldn't even differentiate between the most basic of medicinal ingredients.
“Wait, which one is Huang Lian?” Senior Brother Qingsheng asked blankly while holding a few medicinal packs.
Yin Xu was dumbstruck by the question. This thing was something that he had intentionally added in, and had even added a large dosage on top of that to ensure that the brat's entire body would exude a bitter taste after being steamed.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with an inquiring look, Yin Xu stared at that person, “Isn't every bag written on the outside? “If you don't, try it out every time and you'll know. The hardest is the best.”
“Cough …” Qing Xiaoyan sat at the side and watched worriedly. His naughty little son had probably suffered since he was young. Sigh, if he had known earlier, he would have pampered him less.
“Young Master Huo, my son has a mischievous personality. Please take care of him.” In any case, she had to take into account his feelings as a father. She had to wait until he left.
“Men, invite Chief Qing down to rest. This old man is not well, so there's no need to continue tormenting yourself.”
With a wave of Yin Xu's hand, Ding Yi went forward and supported Qing Xiaoyan on both sides, pulling him out of the room and placing him next door.
Qingsheng sat on the side with the blanket wrapped around him, looking at the huge wooden bucket that was giving off hot air, he felt really bad.
He swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly, “Then… What is this supposed to do? ” He pointed to the barrel, scared out of his wits.
“Can't you see? You don't recognize the bathtub? ” Yin Xu walked in front of him, and with a single sentence, Qingsheng was revealed to everyone.
“Nice figure.” Mao Er, who had just walked in, whistled and stared at Qingsheng's body and laughed.
Qingsheng let out a loud cry, and without anywhere else to hide, he jumped into the bathtub of his own accord, followed by a sharp cry, “Ah … It's scalding me to death! “
Yin Xu realized that it was actually quite interesting to have such an easily bullied disciple in his family.
A hand pressed Qingsheng, who wanted to jump out, back down, preventing him from getting up. “It's done, just sit inside obediently.”
“Just how do you want to torture me? Are you trying to boil a living person? “
“He really doesn't know anything. Do you want Master to know?” Yin Xu slapped his head, signalling the attendant to add firewood.
“Master? You? Do you know who my father is? ” Qingsheng was burning his feet up in the wooden barrel, but unfortunately, the hand on his shoulder was like a mountain, he could not break through at all.
“Isn't it just the former Martial Union Master? “It's a pity that your father is a dead man now.”
Qingsheng was dumbstruck, “What do you mean? What happened to my father? Wasn't he fine just now? “
“You don't know? Your father was poisoned by that Evil Sect Elder and is about to die.
“Ah …” “Father …”
Tengsheng's footsteps stopped. He truly admired this young master of Qing Family, his ability to howl like this was unprecedented.
“The palace is coming down …”
Qingsheng's shout suddenly stopped as he turned his head to look at Lengyong; he was shocked by his frosty expression.
I didn't offend him, right?
Zhang Ming's gaze fell on Yin Xu's shoulder, it was naked and it was extremely dazzling.
His gaze was simply too sharp. Even though Qingsheng did not know what he did wrong, he unconsciously shrank his neck back into the hot water.
Seeing him obediently sitting in the water, Yin Xu also retracted his hand, and naturally greeted Teng Yu.
“Yu Xuezhong left?” he asked.
Teng Yu nodded his head, “The sky is already dark, he has already left.”
“Is there something you need?” Yin Xu saw that his expression was strange and thought that something big had happened.
Teng Yu paused for a moment, and then continued to nod. He walked over and pulled Yin Xu out of the door, “The news came from the capital in the afternoon. The Emperor went into a huge rage last night, and over a dozen palace maids were killed by his staff.”
“Unusual?” Yin Xu did not know much about the emperor's temper, but it was probably normal for Teng Yu to care about something.
“Royal Father is not a violent person. Ever since he ascended to the throne, if it wasn't for the fact that he made a mistake, he would not have attacked so heavily. He is an emperor who cherishes his reputation.”
“Has something big happened in the palace?”
“Strange, it's here. Nothing big happened in the palace, the Imperial Consort Yun was very quiet, the Consort Rong did not have any problems, and the dragon seed in her stomach is also fine. It's said that it's just because something was lost in the Emperor's Bedroom Hall.”
“Then if we lose an incredible treasure, it wouldn't matter even if more than ten people die.”
“What exactly was not revealed in the palace? Maybe it's just as you think.”
Teng Yu didn't know, but he felt that things weren't that simple.
“Then let's set off tomorrow.” Yin Xu reached out to stroke his forehead, “You're afraid something bad will happen in the palace? No matter which one, if you don't feel any heartache after death, why are you in such a hurry? “
Teng Yu was amused by his heartless words. He pulled him into his embrace and gave him a kiss, “You're right, I won't feel sorry for anyone who dies.”
“Who?” Teng Yu suddenly turned and kicked a rock at a flower pot in the corner.
Yin Xu saw a shadow flash past, and immediately jumped out from Teng Yu's body and chased after him, accompanied by a few other Dark Guard who were hiding in the darkness.
A few experts surrounded him, and before he could get far, Yin Xu nailed him to the ground with a dagger.
When the Dark Guard saw that the person had already been subdued, and their figures flashed, they disappeared into an unknown corner. When the guards heard the commotion, they immediately tied up the person on the ground.
There were no lanterns in the garden, so Yin Xu asked them to bring the girls to Qingsheng's courtyard, where he had already arranged himself in a position to wait for them.
“Please spare me, I …” “I didn't do it on purpose, I was just passing by …”
Han Qing stepped forward and smashed him to the ground with a palm, “Passed by? Do you think this lord is a fool? “
“Who is he?” Teng Yu asked.
A guard recognized the person and hurriedly replied, “It's attendant, who is in charge of cleaning the backyard. He was recruited by the local authorities and isn't allowed to leave his house.”
“That's right, sir. This little servant is one of the servants in the mansion. I saw that there were many people here just now, so I came over to take a look.”
“When you came in, didn't anyone tell you that you couldn't walk around without the permission of your master? Who gave you the guts to peep at the master's business? “
“Small… This humble one really doesn't know, I won't dare to do it again. “
Teng Yu waved his hand, “Stay here, pry open his mouth, you can't even tell a lie, I want to know who sent him here.”
Han Qing immediately ordered two guards to drag his down, and then serve his by Teng Yu's side.
“Mistress, are you preparing the food?” Han Qing asked.
Teng Yu turned his head to look at Yin Xu.
Suddenly, Qingsheng's shout came from inside the house: “Master, disciple is going to be cooked soon, do you want to eat human flesh? “My meat is not tasty, and it stinks and is hard …”
Yin Xu called out to him: “Block his mouth, and cook for another hour before letting him out.”
Very quickly, not a single sound came from the inside of the room.
“Send the food to the old man next door, don't starve Martial Union Master to death in our house.”
“Yes sir!”
After Yin Xu and his meal, that attendant also managed to get the gist of everything. The process was not difficult at all, and as for whether that attendant was dead or alive, Yin Xu did not care at all.
“Someone sent by Wei Family?” The first person Yin Xu thought of was naturally Wei Zi'an, but he had no reason to do so.
“Yes, but it's not Young Master Wei. It's the Second Old Master.”
The second master of Wei Family? Isn't that the enemy uncle of Wei Zi'an?
“Why would he settle down at our place?”
“This subordinate does not know.” Han Qing replied in a straight forward manner.
“Wei Zi'an has been busy on Guo Yanshan the entire time, it's probably because his two uncles noticed that something was amiss. He's so close to us, as long as we have the heart to investigate, we can find out what this relationship is.”
Yin Xu thought to himself: Those two grasshoppers after autumn can actually jump up and down, I've really underestimated them.
Teng Yu knocked on the table, and instructed Han Qing: “Don't keep such small fries, find a reason to make them disappear, don't lose out to small fries.”
“This subordinate understands.”
Back then, if Wei Zi'an had begged him to help, he would have easily taken care of those two troubles, but it was clear that the other party had wanted to take revenge on his own. Furthermore, he also had the intention of training Wei Zi'an.
But now, the two of them had actually reached Teng Yu's side, they had no reason to ignore them.
He told Ding Yi to send a message. No matter if he wanted to whip or collect the corpse, he had to let know the result.
Wang Ren used his little hands to clean the tableware while listening carefully. When he heard that Teng Yu could decide another person's life in a few words, not only was he not afraid, he even developed a sense of respect for him.
“Brat, what kind of expression is that? Was there a mistake in their relationship? ” Yin Xu knocked on the child's head, intentionally glaring at him.
But Wang Ren was not afraid, he sneaked a glance at the smiling Teng Yu and whispered: “No, I'm not.”
Teng Yu's smile became even wider, he reached out to remove the jade pendant hanging on his belt and stuffed it into Wang Ren's hands: “This is your reward, today's performance was not bad, in the future your master will not want you, this prince will make an exception to take you in.”
Yin Xu looked at the big and small gangsters and muttered: “Do you guys still have me in your eyes? You already know how to snatch a person away from me at such a young age! “
Wang Ren gave him a rare smile. Although it was not nice to look at, it successfully made Yin Xu feel better.
He rubbed on Wang Ren's head with all his might, “You little rascal, your background is still not bad, raise you well, try to grow up to be a useful, beautiful man. Otherwise, this young master will definitely send you off into a place where you cannot be seen.”
Wang Ren foolishly touched his own face. On the second day, when he was practicing martial arts with Han Qing, he asked for the first time, “Big Brother Han, do I look good?”
It was hard to describe how Han Qing felt at that time. No matter who it was that a scrawny kid who had a big head and a big body asked this kind of question, he wouldn't nod his head against his will.
Thus, he sincerely said, “Don't worry, when you grow up, you'll look good.” Although he did not know why a man was so good-looking, but without thinking about it, he knew that it was a good thing that Seventh Young Master Huo had done.
Qingsheng's injuries had recovered by more than half after three days of treatment. Even though he still could not use force, he could feel that a large amount of the chaotic internal energy in his body had been dispersed.
It was just that he had been missing his father's body for the past few days, so he didn't feel too warm towards Yin Xu, his master and savior.
“You're really not willing to save him?” Qingsheng asked it one hundred twentieth time.
Yin Xu drank his tea calmly, “It's my virtue to keep my word!”
Qingsheng clenched his teeth and kneeled down, “As long as you are willing to save me, I will do anything.”
“I'm your master, you should have listened to me.” Yin Xu's expression remained calm as he said: “Oh, that's right, since your injuries are almost healed, we will prepare to return to the capital tomorrow, your ceremony will be tonight, I have already sent a notice to the other sects, you should prepare yourself.”
“What?” And you still want to pay respects to your teacher? “
“What do you think?” Yin Xu raised his eyebrows, and revealed a meaningful smile, if he did not do it in such a manner, how would he know the reaction of the martial artists?
“Then my father …”
Yin Xu impatiently waved his hand, “Your father is your father, not my father … When it's time to heal, quickly go! “
Qingsheng would have to immerse himself in the medicinal liquid for four hours everyday, and it was boiling hot water at that. When he came out for the first time, his body did not have a single piece of good skin, and it was only Yin Xu who added some kind of medicinal ingredient into the water before he managed to reduce the damage.
Qingsheng glared at him fiercely. Seeing that he was unmoved, he walked away dejectedly.
He first looked at Qing Xiaoyan. The once strong and robust Martial Union Master had now become an old man who could not move. His skin was an unhealthy lavender and his face was ashen.
Qingsheng endured his grief and helped wipe the medicine off his body, and said softly: “Father, I will definitely make him promise to help you cure the poison! Otherwise, I will go find that demon and I will definitely have a way! “
Qing Xiaoyan suddenly held onto Qingsheng's hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, his blood vessels could clearly be seen, his mouth twitched, and he was unable to say a complete sentence.
Qingsheng, a grown man, could not help but have his eyes turn red when he saw this scene. He understood his father's intentions, but if he did not do anything, wouldn't he become a useless human son?
