Chapter 62 - Devil Poison

He then turned to instruct the Xue Clan’s disciple who came with them: “I will find Brother Xue by myself. You take these two in, and let someone from Xue Clan take a look at them.”

“Yes.” The disciple answered quickly.

The expression of the two Xingluo Pavilion’s disciples changed slightly, but they were still calm enough. After all, this was during the Medical Cultivators Conference. Almost all the best medical cultivators in Three Thousand Worlds were gathering in Xingluo City during this period. No matter what kind of poison it was, there wouldn’t be a problem.

The two thanked Su Junmo and Meng Qi, then followed Xue Clan’s disciple into the inn.

“Let’s go.” Su Junmo walked into the inn, followed by Meng Qi and Sikong Xing. Su Junmo hastened his pace and said to Meng Qi. “I have a hunch that this matter is not simple. You…be careful.”

“Yes.” Meng Qi nodded. But her mind was busy trying to identify the dark green line she just saw.

The three soon arrived at Xue Chengxuan’s individual courtyard. The building inside the courtyard was brightly lit, and several disciples were guarding outside the gate. Seeing Su Junmo, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then respectfully led them inside.

“Has Miss Xue been awake?” Su Junmo asked.

“Not yet.” The disciple who led them in shook his head and sighed bitterly, “Eldest young master is very anxious. Miss’ poison is a bit strange. Otherwise, our young master wouldn’t ask young master Su to come so late at night.”

“Brother Su.” Right after the disciple finished speaking, the door into the main building in the courtyard opened. Xue Chengxuan, who heard the movement outside, came out and greeted Su Junmo. He cupped his hand politely before quickly sweeping his eyes across Meng Qi and Sikong Xing. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing. He nodded towards Meng Qi, then gestured them in: “Brother Su, please.”

Xue Chengxuan turned around and walked into the room first. This room was specially prepared by Xingluo Pavilion for him and was a bit more spacious than the other rooms. Besides Xue Chengxuan, three other cultivators sat in the room. One was an elderly male cultivator with white hair and a white beard, and the other two were a male and female in their forty.

“This is our clan elder.” Xue Chengxuan made a quick introduction. “First Elder is the one who asked me to invite Brother Su over to ask for your insight.”

“Elder Xue.” Su Junmo cupped his hand and greeted the white-haired old man. Su Junmo traveled around the Western Realm for a long time and was quite familiar with the Xue Clan. He had met this First Elder twice before. He knew that this person was Xue Chengxuan’s granduncle and had a very high status in Xue Clan.

The old man nodded slowly. His half-squinted eyes opened, and he looked at Su Junmo and the others: “We have troubled Young Daoist Su.”

Meng Qi’s eyes quickly scanned the room. Next to the wall, there was a large canopied bed with a curtain hung down to hide the inner side. The room was filled with medicinal scent, and there was a small incense burner next to the bed, with a faint smoke rising slowly.

Across the curtain, she vaguely saw a person lying on the bed.

Is that Miss Xue? Meng Qi thought silently.

All Meng Qi’s impressions about Xue Clan came from Xue Jinwen. What was Xue Jinwen’s relationship with Xue Chengxuan? She heard people called Xue Jinwen ‘third Miss Xue,’ and also heard that she came from a large medical sect of the Western Realm.

So, was it Xue Jinwen lying on the bed?

“Brother Su, wait a minute.” Xue Chengxuan called softly. “I also sent someone to invite Xingluo Pavilion Master. He should be here soon.”
