Chapter 1638 - Untitled (1/2)

When Sima You Yue heard Xu Jin’s and Ge Lang’s name, her heart jumped.

Her masters were here!

“Are these people really strong?” She asked.

“Of course, otherwise, those patrols wouldn’t suffer so much loss so many times.” The old man showed admiration for the two people.

How many people would give up and leave after coming in decades? At least he wouldn’t.

“Do you know where the two people live?” Sima You Yue tried to look normal, but only she knew how anxious she was at this time.

“I know, of course I know.” The little old man pointed to the two courtyards not far away. “They lived in those courtyards before.”

The two courtyards were not far from here, so it was convenient for her to find them.

But before the joy in her heart was revealed, the following words by the little old man coldy crushed it.

“Unfortunately, they were taken away. It’s probably for the worse.” The little old man said regretfully.

“Why? Are they not living in the courtyards now?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Mm, they were taken away yesterday.”

“Taken away? To where? Isn’t this where people are imprisoned?”

“They went to the torture room.” The little old man put the teacup to his lips. After saying this, he placed the teacup down; the same amount of tea remained.

“Torture room, what kind of place is it?” Sima You Yue had an ominous feeling when she heard it. She was worried for them.

“The torture room is full of all kind of kind torture tools. Anyone who commits a crime will to be taken to the torture room and handed over to the prison head. Those who enter the torture room who want to teach them a lesson, and when the latter come out with a missing layer of skin. If you commit a big crime, aiyah, there is no return.”

Sima You Yue was taken aback. “So what did Xu Jin and Ge Lang commit to be taken there?”

“What else could that be, running away with people.” The little old man replied. “I don’t know what will happen to them this time.”

“Again?”

“They have been in several times before and this happens every few years. Everytime, they would go in and out….” The little old man shook his head. “I’ve seen it happened several times before. It’s really horrible. I don’t know what it will be like this time.”

“Will it be life threatening or crippling?” Sima You Yue clenched her hands unconsciously. Her nails almost pinched into her skin.

“Not really.” The little old man answered. “Do you know why the Hao Clan imprisoned us here? Why would they let us become crippled?”

If they become crippled, Xu Jin would no longer be able to refine pills and Ge Lang would no longer teach medicine to his students.

Thinking about it, Sima You Yue did not immediately become irritable. Otherwise, she would overturn the island immediately!

“By the way, grandpa, do you know here the torture room is?”

“I haven’t been there, how would I know this?”

“When will they be back?”

“In three days.”

“How do you know?”

“Because it takes them five days to go in and out every time. This time estimate is no exception.” The little old man said. “But fortunately, they took special care of them, even though they went in a few times. It wasn’t life threatening. Ijf it was ordinary people, they would have died long ago.”
