Chapter 154: The Unusual Atmosphere in the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence (1/2)

From the Falling Cloud Mountain to the Cloud Water Nation’s general's residence, Bai Luochu enjoyed a rather eventful few days. However, this wasn’t the only place bustling with excitement. The Palace of Brilliance Resurgence overseen by Guan Yue was also rather lively.

“How many has it been?” Guan Yue was rubbing his temple as if he was having a headache. He placed his elbows on the table and used his hand to support his chin as he questioned the other members of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.

The rest of the members looked at each other with dismay and after a long moment, one of them stammered, “Young… Young Master Guan. Many people visited and we didn’t keep track of the numbers… We only know that there is one bottle of antidote left.” The person lowered his head with embarrassment as he spoke.

Guan Yue understood the reason behind Divine Physician Bai’s insistence for him to oversee the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. Most of the major and minor factions in the Cloud Water Nation were drawn to the Falling Cloud Mountain Range, but these factions left people behind to guard their bases. Most of them were small fries who were not qualified to take part in the battle at the Falling Cloud Mountain Range.

The Palace of Brilliance Resurgence had suddenly emerged within a short span of two weeks, just like spring onion in a drought. No one would believe if the other factions would allow them to do as they wished.

As a result, Guan Yue had been extremely busy. It felt as though the surrounding small factions were lining up to test the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. There were some who were competent enough to withstand the poison array, but when they reached the main entrance of the Palace of Resurgence, they passed out. There was a weakling who even fainted in the middle of the poison array. Guan Yue even had to send out men to feed that person the antidote before escorting him back to his faction.

When the person woke up and realized that he was back at his base, he was shocked. He asked the other disciples and when he learned about how he was politely dropped off by the members of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, he felt humiliated. He wanted to go to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence to regain his honor but he recalled that he wasn’t even able to reach their gates. He stood at the foot of the mountain and yelled at the palace as he requested for them to send someone to fight him.

The Palace of Brilliance Resurgence thought that this person would give up after a few days. No one expected him to set up a shed at the bottom of the mountain. When he became tired from shouting, he retreated to his shed and took a rest. There were times when this person came during the night and yelled the moment the day started. Everyone felt uncomfortable because of him and someone finally sent him a message.

Rumor had it that the person fainted the moment he read the message. Guan Yue eventually explained the reason behind it.

“If this person is willing to waste so much time because he fainted in the poison array, he is definitely a prideful being. We simply need to tell him that the poison array is merely something at the elementary level and a random physician was the one who set it up. When he learns that he isn’t competent enough to deal with a physician, he will definitely break down.”

Guan Yue might be noble and virtuous, but he still grew up in an aristocratic clan. He studied stratagems and the art of war. He knew that he had to target the heart when dealing with such people.
