In the alchemy room at the east side of Ye Hang's manor.

Lu-er stared wide-eyed, amazed at the smooth black medicinal pill in Ye Yuan's hands.

"Wah! Young Master, when did you become so amazing?"

Ye Yuan smiled and pinched Lu-er's delicate pink nose. He then grumpily replied, "Since when your young master isn't amazing?"

Originally intended as a joke, who knew Lu-er actually seriously pondered awhile before nodding. "Oh, in the past, people always talked bad about Young Master. I don't know why, but I've always thought of Young Master as a good person. It's just that now Young Master is even more impressive. Right, what does this pill do?"

One day after transmigrating, Lu-er already became the closest person to Ye Yuan. Without hiding anything, Ye Yuan explained, "It's poison, a very potent one."

Lu-er seemingly frightened by this and asked, "Ah? Why did Young Master refine something like this?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Naturally for a person to eat."

Lu-er mused over this explanation, before replying with a straight face, "I understand. Young Master definitely refined this poison for bad guys to eat."

Ye Yuan laughed out loud and said, "Let's go. The bad guy is almost here. We will wait for him in the parlor."

The two just stepped into the parlor, and a servant came to report that a person with a bloodied face was at the front entrance of the manor seeking for an audience. Ye Yuan commanded him to bring that person over.

Momentarily, the servant brought a pitiful looking Liu An to the parlor.

Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Liu An sprinted over. Hugging Ye Yuan's leg and crying, he said, "Young Master Ye, I beg you to be magnanimous and save me, please. We don't have any grudges between us. Why do you want to put me to death?!"

Ye Yuan gave a look of disdain and then sent Liu An flying with a kick before squatting down and said, "Don't have any grudges? Do you really take me for a fool? No matter how many Heart Protecting Pills my Ye Family has, we wouldn't take it out to feed dogs. Make your choice now. Do you want to confess in exchange for the antidote or die due to the poison?"

Even after being sent flying with a kick, Liu An did not have any complaints and nearly tripped over himself while crawling back. Only this time he did not dare to hug Ye Yuan's legs again. However, Ye Yuan was just at the First Level Essence Qi Realm; even if the kick was packed with true essence, it was unable to cause any substantial harm to Liu An.

As to the risk for Liu An retaliating like a desperate dog leaping over a wall, Ye Yuan was not concerned at all. That was because Liu An's true essence scattered all over in his body, and he was unable to gather them together.

"Young Master Ye, I truly don't know what you meant by that! I only came to Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to get treated. Even if I'd offended you, it isn't deserving of death. I am only a small figure. I beg of you, Young Master Ye. Just treat me like a fart and let me go," Liu An said as he cried without even trying to maintain his dignity.

Ye Yuan did not speak and only looked at Liu An's alarmed face until the latter became flustered.

At this point, Liu An still held onto one last trace of possibility that Ye Yuan's wastrel disease struck and that this was a practical joke. He hoped that by letting go of his dignity, he could coax Ye Yuan into giving him the antidote. If people found out about his shady identity, he would be hunted down by demonic beast hunters.
