No matter how you said it, if Patriarch Tao had to choose between Tao Yi Xuan and the person behind this, Patriarch Tao chose the latter.

Although he didn’t attack him with his own hands, the damage was serious for Tao Yi Xuan.

Sima You Yue turned her head and took a glance at his room. He should have heard what they said, but no one would know what he thought about it.

It was better to give him some space.

“I wonder why the Patriarch came for the antidote.” Great Master Ji continued, “I think it’s to destroy the person and remove any traces.”

“Why don’t you think that it’s for Tao Yi Xuan?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Because I told him back then that if he wanted to treat the poison, it would be for the best to prepare two more pain relief pills. Otherwise, the person who was poisoned would be unable to bear it. He said that he’d understood, but he didn’t ask me for anything else except that he took the antidote and left.”

“It’s not that serious to destroy the dead and remove all the traces, right? Aren’t you here still?” Sima You Yue stared at him, “There’s hope as long as you’re alive.”

Great Master Ji laughed as he shook his head, “You don’t know about my custom. I don’t usually refine pills for others.”

As he spoke, he lifted his head and shot a glare at her. He wouldn’t have refined it for her if she didn’t coerce and threatened him to do it.

Sima You Yue understood what he meant from the look in his eyes. She touched her nose and laughed cheekily, “I’m one of the unusual cases. I know I offended you. Here, let me offer a cup of wine to you as an apology, alright?”

“Do you always do such things? Giving a sweet after a slap?” Great Master Ji held up a cup, cheered with hers and finished it in one mouthful.

“Hehe, not always, occasionally maybe.” Sima You Yue continued, “I have no choice but to do that.”

“You said you had a deal with Young Master, what is it?”

Sima You Yue hesitated for a while and told him about looking for someone.

“So you came to the island of Lost Place to look for your Master and Teacher?” Great Master Ji said.

“Mm, they came here because of me. Now that they’re missing, how can I let it go just like that?” Sima You Yue huffed a long sigh, “I’m hoping that they aren’t suffering here.”

“Your Master got himself a good disciple.” Great Master Ji started to envy them.

The sincerity itself was touching enough regardless of whether she could find them or not. He looked at the little child wandering around the courtyard full of medicinal ingredients and wondered how much he meant to him?

Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door anxiously and interrupted the mood as they were talking.

The child went to open the door and asked the guy outside, “Can I help you?”

“Is Great Master Ji in? Patriarch is asking him to go over immediately!” The guy outside said anxiously.

“My Master is busy!” The child rejected as he saw that his Master didn’t reply. He closed the door after he spoke.

“Young Master, don’t close the door yet. This is an order from the Patriarch. Second Master is in trouble. The Patriarch asked him to go over immediately to have a look.”

“What does it have to do with my Master when the Second Master is in trouble? If you don’t leave, I’m going to release poison.” The child threatened.

“Second Master is really in trouble. Please tell Great Master Ji. I came here with the Patriarch’s token.” The guard’s voice was very anxious, it seemed like the Second Master was in a bad state.

Initially, Sima You Yue’s heart skipped a beat when she heard about Second Master. She didn’t expect him to come back alive, why didn’t that lady kill him straight away?
