Chapter 14 Poisoned (1/2)
Mo Xie made his way back to the Sword Dragon Security Association and gave part of the reward to the receptionist.
”This... A gold tael?”
Lan Xue was shocked, the 10% tax of their security association is a gold tael? how much did Mo Xie earn exactly? ten gold taels!
Mo Xie smiled as he spoke: ”Don't worry Sister Lan, I will be on my way then.”
After speaking, Mo Xie walks out of the association door, luckily, all of the people here were mortals, nobody heard Lan Xue exclaiming.
Lan Xue looked at Mo Xie as she thought: 'Getting on his good side will be good too, or if I become his woman... I will be settled for my whole life, maybe...”

...
Mo Xie headed to somewhere first, he needs to pay for the debt he had incurred.
*Tok *Tok!* Mo Xie knocked on the door.
After a while, a person opened the door as a familiar silhouette appeared.
”Uncle Feng!”
”Oh! Mo Xie!”
Uncle Feng is the very first person that helped him inside the Gangting City, even made a recommendation for him to enter the sword for hire association.
”I've come here to pay my debt.” Mo Xie spoke as a smile formed on his lips.
”No rush, no rush, it is just a few copper coins worth of food and clothes, as long as you live well, I am completely satisfied.” Feng Baoli spoke as he waved his hands for Mo Xie to come in.
Mo Xie nodded his head and entered, he then looked around as he couldn't see Feng Baoli's wife, Lu Mei.
”Where is Aunty Lu?”
”Oh, she had been sick for a few days, I guess, she will heal after a while.” Feng Baoli exclaimed.
”Can I see Aunty Lu?”
”Sure, wait, let me bring her here first.” Feng Baoli spoke as he walks to a room where Lu Mei is resting.
After a while, the two of them came out, Mo Xie looked at Lu Mei in shock, she looked like she had just aged more.
A frown can be seen in his expression as he pondered for a bit.
”Little Xie, how are you?” Lu Mei asked as she smiled at him.
”What happened to you, Aunt Lu?”
”Oh, I was outside together with Li, but after we came back, I suddenly became sick, don't worry about it, I will get better soon.” Lu Mei spoke, confident that she will recuperate in time.
Mo Xie, on the other hand, is having a bad feeling about it: ”Aunt Lu, can I check your pulse for now?”
Lu Mei sighed as she nodded: ”I am getting too old, even a brat like you are worried about me.”
After joking, Lu Mei extended her hand to Mo Xie.
Mo Xie closed his eyes as he feels Lu Mei's pulse, Mo Xie's face kept changing in a bad manner as time passes.
Both Lu Mei and Feng Baoli can see it as they started to feel uneasy, is it really not an ordinary sickness?
Mo Xie opened his eyes as he smiled at the both of them: ”Aunty, I need to do something, please wait.”
After Mo Xie spoke, he ran to the catching, not waiting for them to reply.
Mo Xie took out one of the herbs he got from the Dark Dragon Herb Valley and brought it back to the guest room of the couple together with some kitchen items like a pot and a grinding stone.
