ch 511 - Remembrance of the Past; Startling Truth 1 (1/2)
The news that Elder was poisoned immediately startled everyone at the Cheng’s.
Not only did Mo Yuze husband and wife and Madam Gong came right away, even Temple of Divine Plans’s Ancient Forefather was alerted as well.
Old Man Ying took Elder’s pulse while others surrounded them. Old Man Ying’s look became more and more solemn as time past and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
After a little while, he finally let go of Elder’s wrist and, with a sorrowful look, shook his head lightly.
Cheng Biyuan’s face changed colors right away. Burning with anxiety, he said sternly, “We must save my uncle no matter what. Who’s the best at antidotes? We will send out people to bring them back here right away!”
“Calm down for a second here, My Lord,” said Zhou Jinjiang with a deep voice.
He looked up at Temple of Divine Plans’s Ancient Forefather, the oldest of them all, and asked respectfully, “Ancient Forefather, do you have any thoughts?”
“Ancient Forefather…”
Everybody turned and looked at Temple of Divine Plans’s Ancient Forefather.
Cheng Huihui further dropped onto her knees in front of him, bowed her head down to the floor repeatedly and said, “Ancient Forefather, please help my father. Huihui begs of you!”
“Stand out, little girl!” Ancient Forefather waved his sleeve lightly and helped the girl on her knees up. Gong Zixuan reached out to help her stand still and comforted her, “Miss Hui, don’t panic just yet. With all of us here, we will for sure be able to figure something out.”
Ancient Forefather did not take Elder’s pulse right away. Instead, he looked over at Old Man Ying and asked, “What did you find?”
“Old man, I really didn’t find out anything. After all, poison is not my specialty. But I didn’t force some of my qi in Elder’s body. It made an entire round without finding anything out of place. That’d suggest that the poison had already entered into Elder’s marrow. When these type of poison takes effect, it would definitely cause excruciating pain. Enough to make one want to die but couldn’t.”
