Chapter 1929: Chapter 146: Let’s Talk in a Safe Place
“Young City Lord, we really apologize, we haven’t yet figured out what poison the Old City Lord is afflicted with. It might require some research!” One of the old men in black clothes looked at Feng Xiaoyao and said.
“I’m troubling the two seniors. Would you prefer to conduct your research here, or should I have someone take you to the other courtyard?” Feng Xiaoyao said politely.
“We’ll start our research here for now. Once we find a clue, we’ll return to refine the pill!” The old man in black clothes replied courteously.
“Alright, thank you both, seniors. I’ll let my friend check on my dad first!” Feng Xiaoyao said upon hearing this.
“Alright, alright.” The two retreated respectfully upon hearing this.
Feng Xiaoyao then looked at Mo Jiuli and said, “Do you have any solution?”
Mo Jiuli glanced at Feng Xiaoyao and said, “Let me take a look…”
After speaking, Mo Jiuli went directly to Lord Feng’s bedside, felt his pulse, and his Divine Sense entered Lord Feng’s body for a cursory inspection. Mo Jiuli then looked around the room, his gaze lingered for a moment on the flowers by the window sill, then turned to Feng Xiaoyao and asked, “When did your Father get poisoned?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoyao gestured, and a man in black clothes emerged from the shadows, respectfully saluting Feng Xiaoyao, “Young City Lord!”
“Tell the story of my Father’s poisoning…” Feng Xiaoyao said to him, then turned to Mo Jiuli and added, “He is my Father’s dark guard, and he was the first to notice something was amiss with my Father…”
“Yes, Young City Lord! The City Lord initially felt nothing unusual, until one night half a year ago when he suddenly vomited blood during cultivation. At the time, the City Lord said he felt his dark energy was flowing backward during cultivation, thinking it was due to a restless heart, he didn’t pay much attention to it. After that, the City Lord didn’t cultivate for over a month, as he couldn’t find young city lord, fearing he couldn’t cultivate at ease…
Then three months ago, while the City Lord was sitting in the courtyard, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted. I escorted the City Lord to the room to rest. After waking up, the City Lord couldn’t get out of bed, and his complexion worsened day by day. The alchemist of the mansion has been treating the City Lord since the beginning, but the effects have been minimal, even worsening. A month ago, the City Lord fell into a complete coma…” The dark guard recounted the events in front of Feng Xiaoyao and others.
“Let’s talk outside!” Mo Jiuli said after hearing, looking at Feng Xiaoyao.
“Alright.” Feng Xiaoyao glanced at his father then led Mo Jiuli out.
Once outside the courtyard, Feng Xiaoyao asked Mo Jiuli, “Can my Father still be saved?”
“Let’s find a safe place to talk!” Mo Jiuli glanced at Feng Xiaoyao and transmitted this message.
Feng Xiaoyao paused upon hearing, quickly understood, and said to Mo Jiuli, “I’ll first take you all to rest!”
“Okay.” Mo Jiuli nodded in agreement.
Feng Xiaoyao directly brought Mo Jiuli to his courtyard and said, “This is my courtyard. My Uncle and I live in the rooms over there. You all can stay there. I have always stayed in my Father’s room and haven’t returned to live here!”
“Alright.” Mo Jiuli nodded in agreement.
“Well, I’m a bit hungry!” Mo Jiuli gave Feng Xiaoyao a meaningful look and said.
“Let’s go, have a seat in the hall, I’ll have someone prepare food and drinks!” Feng Xiaoyao understood and said.
Feng Xiaoyao led Mo Jiuli and Yun Xia to the hall, then instructed the servants to prepare food and wine, which was soon ready and brought to them. Feng Xiaoyao then dismissed the servants and said to Fang Shile, “Uncle, set up a barrier!”
