“You’ve really been poisoned with the Silk Tree Sect’s ecstasy drug? That’s troublesome.”
The old man helped the man up. As he looked at the man’s flushed face, the beads of sweat that oozed out of him and the blue veins that throbbed on the back of his hand, he couldn’t help but hesitate and cautiously suggested: “Why don’t I find you a brothel?”
As soon as he heard those words, the man glared fiercely and gritted his teeth: “Help me inside! Get someone to prepare cold water!”
“Senior Hun Yuan.”
At this time, the people in the three other wing-rooms had walked out. When they saw that it was Sage Hun Yuan, they wanted to befriend him, and said: “I am the Family Head of the Xu Family of Luo City. I have brought my family’s doctor with me on this trip. Why don’t you let him take a look at your friend?”
Sage Hun Yuan glanced at the old man who spoke and the middle-aged man who was beside him. The middle-aged man was wearing a robe with a doctor’s badge sewn on it and the badge was of a high grade too.
Upon seeing this, he glanced at the man he was supporting and nodded: “I appreciate your offer.” He helped the man into the wing-room and the other two men followed.
The shopkeeper looked at his ruined restaurant and shook his head, then proceeded to clean up the mess. When he got to the first floor, he noticed the youth who was still sitting in the corner eating. He couldn’t help but was shocked that the youth appeared unaffected by the fight and continued to eat and drink leisurely.
“Umm, Young Master, is everything alright?”
The shopkeeper asked carefully. He looked at the empty plates on the table, most of the food had been eaten by the youth, there were only some bones left on the table. Was this young boy sitting here eating food and watching the show when the few people had been fighting?
When he thought of this, the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched. There were strange people every year but there seemed to be even more this year. Everyone who came here today was abnormal.
“Hiccup! Not so well.” Feng Jiu burped and shook her head.
“Ah? Not, not good? Then, have you been hurt somewhere?” The shopkeeper panicked when he heard this and asked nervously. He had better not have been hurt by the air blade or something. It would just be his luck if he had been hurt here.
“No, it’s just that I ate too much and I don’t think I can walk.” She breathed out softly and touched her belly and said with an innocent look: “Not that I’ve eaten my fill I suddenly feel like taking an afternoon nap.”
“Huh?” The shopkeeper stared at the young boy dumbfounded.
Feng Jiu looked at the shopkeeper in front of her and smiled suddenly. She changed the topic suddenly: “Shopkeeper, the two roast chickens that I’ve ordered haven’t arrived yet! Is it ready yet? How long do I have to wait?”
“Well, there was just a fight so maybe it’s not ready yet. Young Master, why don’t you wait a moment while I go and check?” The shopkeeper asked tentatively.
Feng Jiu looked around and smiled, her eyes squinted and she nodded: “Alright! When it’s finished cooking, wrap it up for me.” She stood up. Her jet-black eyes moved to the second floor. She wanted to see how the man was doing after he had been poisoned with the ecstasy drug.
If it was just an ordinary ecstasy drug, he would be fine after soaking his body in cold water and waiting for the effects of the drug to pa.s.s. However, this was not just any ordinary ecstasy drug, but one from the Silk Tree Sect, would it be ordinary? What’s more, from her observation, after that man had taken the antidote pill, not only did his condition stabilise, but it worsened. It would probably not be as simple as taking a soak in cold water to detoxify the effects of the drug.
