Chapter 142: Paralyzing Imperial College (2/2)
”Stand at the corner of the wall!” The young patriarch shouted after holding himself back for quite some time.
Qin Mu and Hu Ling'er walked over to the corner of Hall of Supreme Healing, lowering their heads as they stood.
The young patriarch had a grim expression as he walked to and fro in front of the human and the fox with his hands behind his back. He suddenly shouted, ”Who planted the poison?”
Qin Mu immediately replied, ”That bull was paralyzed by me, as for the scholars and chancellors, I've no idea.”
The young patriarch asked with a solemn face, ”How to cure it?”
Qin Mu replied honestly, ”There's no need to cure them. You just need to wait for a moment and they will recover.”
The young patriarch snorted coldly and raised his finger to scold, ”How many days have you been here since you entered Imperial College? And you have already turned the whole Imperial College upside down! Almost all the scholars of Scholar's Residence have been beaten by you and almost all the houses in Scholar's Residence have been torn down by you! Planting heads in walls and planting humans in the ground, do you think I didn't know? You had struck Directorate Ling Yun down to the dust in front the emperor and now you sedated the mount of Chancellor Ba Shan! Not mentioning how you paralyzed Hall of Supreme Healing, you had almost paralyzed all the people in this Imperial College! What's your next step going to be? To knock out everyone in the capital city?”
Qin Mu gave it some thought and scratched his head, ”How big would the pill furnace have to be to be able to refine out so much Lost Fragrance… What I mean is, the Lost Fragrance that has knocked out all these scholars and chancellors was definitely not refined by me!”
The young patriarch was speechless from anger, ”Then explain yourself, why did you paralyze Chancellor Ba Shan's mount?”
Chancellor Ba Shan walked over and asked curiously, ”That's right, why did you paralyze my bull?”
Qin Mu blinked his eyes innocently and said, ”I was fooling around with it. I planned to… steal the vegetables from your vegetable garden. I have been eating too much oily food these few days, therefore, I would like to have a change of tastes.”
Chancellor Ba Shan was suspicious and asked, ”After you knocked out my bull, why didn't you go steal the vegetables and instead carried it and ran? Did you fancy the vegetables in my vegetable garden or my bull?”
”This…”
Qin Mu lowered his head to look at the little fox standing with him in the corner. The little fox also couldn't think of an excuse.
Ba Shan became angry, ”No more excuse? How should I punish you? Grand Chancellor, he has just come up the mountain and he already dared to eat my bull and even planted poison, nearly harming all the scholars in Imperial College. This boy can't be allowed to stay…”
The young patriarch gave a cough and said softly, ”Ba Shan, he is the disciple of Poison King…”
Chancellor Ba Shan jumped in shock, ”Poison King? Which poison king?”
The young patriarch spoke softly, ”Which poison king could it be? Of course, it's Jade Face Poison King. He's the Flower Alley Divine Physician that has cured Empress Dowager. He pretty good in curing illnesses to save people and his poison isn't much inferior to Fu Yuanqing from Imperial Preceptor's Manor.”
Chancellor Ba Shan suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold and immediately moved far away from Qin Mu with a chuckle, ”Since my bull is fine, I'll let the matter drop. Grand Chancellor, I'll leave this to you.”
The young patriarch's head started to ache. Qin Mu was good in everything, yet he was also good in tormenting people.
Village Chief and the rest had groomed him very well and Patriarch was very pleased. It was fine he tormented Imperial College, but if by any chance he tormented Heavenly Devil Cult too when he went to Heavenly Devil Cult in the future, it would be extremely terrifying.
Suddenly the young patriarch gave a smile and looked kindly at him, ”I still have two more months before I retire, please don't create any more trouble. Can you be contented with your lot for just these two months?”
Qin Mu nodded his head and argued, ”I really didn't refine out the Lost Fragrance which has paralyzed Imperial College!”
The young patriarch beamed, ”Who was the one who passed around the prescription?”
Qin Mu lowered his head.
The young patriarch called Chancellor Ba Shan over, ”Ba Shan, come over.”
Chancellor Ba Shan went forward and the young patriarch smiled, ”Watch him attentively for these two months. When I retire two months later, you can relax.”
”What Grand Chancellor means is to…” Chancellor Ba Shan moved forward and raised his hand to do a downwards cutting motion while giving off an enquiring expression.
The young patriarch said with a smile that was yet not a smile, ”You think too much. He's a divine physician who has cured Empress Dowager's illness. Furthermore, with just an anesthetic, he could paralyze the whole mountain. If you kill him, I'll kill you.”
”So it was him!”
Chancellor Ba Shan had scales fall from his eyes and said, ”I've long heard about the divine physician that has come to the capital city. Never would I expect him to be this boy. It's not impossible for me to watch him, though I have a feral temper and I'm not used to staying on the mountain…”
The young patriarch smiled, ”Just bring him wherever you go.”
Chancellor Ba Shan understood.
The young patriarch let out a murky breath and said, ”Don't just stand there, carry out the scholars who had been knocked out with the chancellor and let them breathe in fresh air.”
Qin Mu and Chancellor Ba Shan immediately went into Hall of Supreme Healing and carried everyone out.
More than half of the scholars in Imperial College were knocked out and there were also quite a few directorates who had been knocked out as well. When the medicinal properties of Lost Fragrance had subsided, everyone regained consciousness one after another, though they still felt heavy in their heads and couldn't completely recover in a short while.
The few old imperial physicians from Hall of Supreme Healing apologized to everyone and were ashamed. However, their respect for Qin Mu had risen even further.
Only now did they know why Qin Mu had asked them to move back when he was collecting the drug. The medicinal energy of this Lost Fragrance was too powerful and Qin Mu was worried it might leak out, therefore he had asked them to move further away.
This resulted in them being unable to see the method Qin Mu had used to collect the drug, causing chaos.
It was lucky that it was only an anesthetic. If it was a poison that killed with a sniff, the more than half of the future elites of Eternal Peace Empire would probably have died just like that.
Right at this moment, someone suddenly cried out in astonishment, ”Fozi Fo Xin and Monk Jing Ming have left!”
