43 I am an Alchemis (1/2)

Cheeta: ”Please sir here is your seat.”, as he pulled a chair for Long Yu to sit on it.

Long Yu:”Many thanks Sir Cheeta, but I am your guest so I do not believe that I should be sitting at the head of the table of your household.”

Cheeta: ”Please I insist that you sit at the head of the table.”

Long Yu:”Thank you for such an honor but I will feel extremely uncomfortable to sit at the head of the dining table as your guest so let me find a seat suitable for me.”

Cheeta relented to Long Yu's wish, with a heavy heart as unwillingness clearly shown in his eyes.

After everyone took their seat, Bashista could not help but whisper to Long Yu, ”what was that?”, as the members of his team leaned closure to hear Long Yu's answer.

Long Yu aka Ryuu: ” I Do not know, I just got angry at him and now he is submissive to me, since we entered this trials many things took place, I have to consult my family after everything is over.”

The team Shadow Wolves seemed to except Long Yu's answer but inwardly they were curious also tad bit annoyed, at him as everything they asked he gave the same answer, 'I don't know'.

Cheeta introduced everyone present at the table specially the beasts present. Long Yu greeted them with a smile, before his attention was drawn in by the Snake Prince Sakkara, a 2nd rank Wanxiang Adept 'Armored Python', known for their defense which is strong enough to withstand attacks from opponents of entire realm above him, staring creepily at him.

Long Yu: ”Is there something you want to ask of me, Prince Sakkara?”

This brought Sakkara out of his stupor, ”Ah please forgive my impudence, but I could not help but notice you have the same stench as that traitor 'Yube', and your teammates smell of the blood and guts of her spawn, did you kill her.”

Long Yu was confused momentarily about the 'Yube' person then he realized the only person he killed recently was the 'Crowned Viper' and her nest so maybe he was speaking about them, ”If you are speaking about the 2nd rank Wanxiang Adept 'Crowned Viper', then you are right we stumbled upon her lair accidently, and it was only because of luck I managed to slay her and escape her lair while killing her off springs. But we used masking powder so how did you find their scent on us.”

Sakkara: ”How very interesting the stench I smelt was that of her poison, it seemed you were drenched completely by it, poison so strong even my late father would have died because of it, yet here you are still alive, really interesting. The reason I found out, is because of a secret technique of our clan.”
