Feng Da turned around to open the door, only to discover that it was Butler Yu and an unfamiliar middle-aged man standing outside.
“Butler Yu, we just came back from your place. We haven’t even warmed up our b.u.t.ts. Why are you here?” Feng Da chuckled.
“I have something to discuss with Young Lady Leng. I forgot to mention it earlier.” Yu Tian said somewhat embarra.s.sedly.
“Oh, then please come in!” Vonetta moved aside and let them into the room.
“Butler Yu, what’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue asked directly without even inviting Yu Tian to sit down.
“Are you Sir Du Min?” Suddenly, the middle-aged man who had been standing next to Yu Tian fixed his gaze on the small old man and spoke with an excited expression.
“Oh! It’s been a long time since someone called me by that name,” the little old man said indifferently.
“Mr. Du Min, I really didn’t expect to see you here. I’m so happy.” The middle-aged man was extremely excited.
“Sir… Sir Du Min?” Yu Tian also stuttered a little. No wonder he felt that this little old man was somewhat familiar. To think that this unremarkable old man was actually the G.o.d-like person in the hearts of all alchemists. Uh! Although he wasn’t an alchemist, he was still very clear about Du Min’s position in the alchemy world and even in the entire Vast Heaven Continent. Uh.. If he had long seen that this little old man was Sir Du Min, he probably wouldn’t have hesitated either. He didn’t know if it was still too late?
“What are you talking about? Just call me Old Man.” The little old man said disapprovingly.
“Butler Yu, what are you here for?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but ask again. She didn’t want to attend a fan meeting with her idol.
“Young Lady Leng, it’s like this. Didn’t I tell you that someone in the city was indeed poisoned? However, there isn’t sufficient evidence. Moreover, two people in our Shadow League were poisoned and were bitten by someone. So, I’m here to ask for the snake poison. If it can cure my subordinate’s poison, then we can basically confirm the thief.” Yu Tian pondered for a moment before speaking in an extremely reserved manner.
“Oh, is that so? It seems that Steward Yu doesn’t have any sincerity! Someone, send the guest out.” Leng Ruoxue instructed expressionlessly. Hmph! At this time, Yu Tian was still playing mind games with her. To think she had such a good impression of him!
“Young Lady Leng…” Yu Tian wanted to explain, but Leng Ruoxue didn’t give him a chance. She turned around and entered the inner room.
“Butler Yu, this way please!” Feng Da extended an arm and made an inviting gesture.
Yu Tian gave the middle-aged man a look. The middle-aged man opened his mouth with some difficulty and said, “Sir Du Min…” However, just as he said a few words, he was interrupted by the little old man.
“Sigh! This old man is getting on in years. I don’t care anymore. Our la.s.s has the final say.” The little old man pretended to sigh helplessly. Then, he shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was helpless.
Seeing this, Yu Tian and the middle-aged man had no choice but to leave with their tails between their legs…
After leaving, the middle-aged man could not help but mutter as he walked, “Butler Yu, why didn’t you tell them that the thief was found? I have to tell you, if they can’t get the snake venom, they will lose their lives.”
“I know, they are my subordinates. I am also anxious! However, this matter is not something that I can decide alone. I have to go back and discuss it with the others.” Yu Tian said with a troubled expression. Sigh! If he could say it directly, how could he not?
“Then you have to be quick. They won’t be able to last much longer,” the middle-aged man reminded her. At the same time, he was complaining in his heart. Sigh! If it weren’t for that d.a.m.n woman, he wouldn’t have had the chance to get close to his idol!
“Got it!” Yu Tian replied in an extremely depressed manner. After that, the two of them directly returned to the Shadow Alliance’s encampment.
The next day, Yu Tian and the middle-aged man came to visit again. They said a lot of good things and told Leng Ruoxue the truth. They even automatically signed numerous unequal treaties before coaxing Leng Ruoxue to take out two antidotes.
As he looked at the antidote in his hand, Yu Tian’s tears fell like rain, and he was extremely excited. Wuuu… what a rare antidote! For the sake of these two antidotes, he had cursed all those conservative and stubborn old things last night!
“Butler Yu, why aren’t you going back quickly and giving these two antidotes to your subordinates?” Leng Ruoxue reminded. Since Yu Tian was willing to lower his head for his subordinates, he could be considered to be a loyal person. Thus, she was magnanimous and didn’t bother about Yu Tian’s previous actions. After all, from his perspective, he didn’t do anything wrong.
“Oh! Oh!” Yu Tian hurriedly nodded, and then he vanished with a swish.
Even though Yu Tian took the antidote and left, the middle-aged man didn’t leave. He even stayed next door to them. Furthermore, as long as he had time, he would stick by the little old man’s side. His diligence left even Zheng En, his disciple, in the dust!
Another day pa.s.sed.
Leng Ruoxue and the others had just finished their lunch in the s.p.a.ce when Qing Jue informed them that someone was knocking on the door. She quickly moved everyone out of the s.p.a.ce.
“Old Li, what’s wrong with you?” Feng Da, who went to open the door, saw the middle-aged man standing outside the door and teased him in a good mood.
“Uh! I have something to inform you guys,” the middle-aged man called Old Li said as he panted, his face filled with anxiety.
“What’s wrong?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
“I just received news that someone from the Lan family is here,” Old Li said after calming down a little.
When Leng Ruoxue heard Old Li’s words, she frowned slightly. She thought to herself, “Has the Lan family finally shown themselves? I wonder who it is? But, it doesn’t matter.”
“Where is the Lan family?” The little old man asked curiously, his face full of antic.i.p.ation.
“Uh! They went to Butler Yu’s place,” Old Li said speechlessly. It seemed like those people had heard that Butler Yu had the antidote, so they went to look for him. Sigh! He really did not know how this news was leaked.
“Then let’s go too!” Leng Ruoxue smiled. Of course, they were there to watch the show.
“Alright!” Everyone nodded excitedly, and then the group of them left the inn in a formidable array and headed straight for Yu Tian’s residence.
