The First Volume of Ghost Hand, Heavenly Doctor, Hidden Edge 032 Returning to the Mansion
Judging from their age and unfathomable strength, if he wasn't mistaken, these few old men were the Green Peak Six Freaks who shook the world decades ago. These people had already retired, so why would they appear at the Prime Minister's residence? His eyes flashed with doubt as he looked at that one red-clothed man with an evil aura, whose age was not much different from his own, but whose cultivation level he couldn't gauge. This person must be extraordinary!
"The junior emperor has met a few seniors before." He wore his usual warm and gentle smile, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "You must be the famous Green Peak Six Freaks!" It was not a question, but an affirmation. Most of the strong people in the Dragon Continent were familiar to him, and the strength of these few people might be even more profound than that of his father. Besides the Green Peak Six Freaks, there was no one else.
"Hmm? This young man has good eyesight, he can actually recognize us. Not bad, not bad." One of the old men stroked his beard and smiled with narrowed eyes as he sized him up, saying: "Di Shang Mo? Is that the Young Master of the number one estate in the land? At such a young age, this cultivation is truly not to be underestimated!"
"You're overpraising me." He smiled humbly, his gaze shifted, and his eyes fell on a figure in red clothes, Hua Fei Hua, saying: "I wonder how to address this gentleman?"
Hua Fei Hua glanced at him, her fingers pinching the tea lid to scoop up the tea water, and blew on the hot tea with a leisurely expression. She took a slow and elegant sip before putting down the teacup and saying: "The name of an unknown minor official, how can it enter the ears of the young master?" He stood up, patted his red robes, and walked out, lightly sighing: "Without beautiful women to accompany him, it's really boring! Let's go find some fun."
"Alright, let's go too! Let's take a break." The old men exchanged glances and followed each other out.
As he gazed at the few people walking away, Xiasnow's eyes flickered slightly as she stepped forward and said softly: "Prince Gongzi, Mu Lao Guai of the Six Freaks is our sister's master. Due to some issues in the Prime Minister's estate, we invited him to lend a hand. The other seniors followed my master here." Her gentle voice paused before continuing: "Xiasnow also wants to thank Prince Gongzi for sending our young mistress back home. However, the Prime Minister's estate is currently experiencing many troubles and it's not suitable to receive guests at this time, so please forgive us, Prince Gongzi."
Their master is actually one of the six freaks? Di Shang Mo Xin was surprised, but his expression remained normal as he nodded and smiled: "Then I'll visit again another day, please pass on my greetings to your young mistress."
"Sister, see Young Master Di out."
Xia Yu smiled and walked forward, making a inviting gesture: "Prince Di, please."
"Thanks for your trouble." He nodded slightly and walked out.
On the other side, in Tang Xin's courtyard, Bai Yan held her hand and looked at her worriedly: "Xin'er, how do you feel? How could you get yourself into such a state?"
"Sister, was it that man in black who hurt you? How come there are so many bruises on your body? What's going on?" Tang Zihao asked worriedly.
Seeing them so concerned about her, Tang Xin's heart felt warm and fuzzy. She smiled at them and said: "I'm fine, I just accidentally fell off the cliff while picking herbs and was bitten by a double-headed snake, but I'm okay now."
"Sister, Xiaoxue said you are the legendary Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor of Longteng Continent, is that true?" Although he already knew, he still wanted to hear her tell them herself.
Tang Xin looked at them and nodded, saying: "Hm, Brother Pangzi, Mother, will you be angry with me for not telling you about this?"
"Silly child, of course not. Whether you are the famous Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor from Longteng Continent or the thousand gold of the Xiang Fu, you are my daughter." Bai Yan gently patted her hand and said: "I'll call the doctor in to take a look at your injuries!" As she was about to get up and go out, she was pulled back by Tang Xin.
"It's alright, Mother. Just let Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu come in to help me. I need to find the right herbs to counteract Father's poison, and then make them into pills. The person behind the scenes hasn't been found yet, so the manor isn't entirely safe. I'll have to use my Ghost Hand Heaven Doctor identity to cure Father's poison without arousing suspicion. So from today on, I won't see anyone, and just tell outsiders that I'm recovering from injuries."
Tang Zihao nodded: "Alright, don't worry! I'll take care of this. First, let Xiaoxue and the others help you bandage your wound." With that, he turned around and walked out.
"I've told someone to cook something for you." Bai Yan said, and also got up and walked out.
Tang Xin lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and couldn't help but think of that emperor's tomb. A nameless feeling welled up in her heart, and she came back to herself, a deep thought flashing across her eyes. Just then, a teasing voice drifted down from the rooftop, causing her mouth to twitch slightly.
"Who would have thought that the great Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor would actually be bitten by a poisonous snake? Is this not a case of being too clever for one's own good and suffering the consequences?"
A figure in red clothes, Flower Not Flower, lay on the rooftop, one hand under her head and the other playing with a flower she had picked from who-knows-where, sniffing it gently, half-closing her enchanting eyes, and swinging her legs back and forth.
"Flowers are not flowers, if you're really too idle, then help me catch the mastermind behind the murder! This way, you can also return to your gentle hometown and live a carefree life." Tang Xin lay on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. She had lost too much blood and even speaking was exhausting for her.
She didn't bring up the topic, but as soon as she did, it reminded him of that one night's thousand-mile journey. Instantly, his face darkened, and a mysterious gloom flashed across his eyes as he smiled wickedly: "Woman, that Emperor Mo seems to be very interested in you. He came here once early this morning. Such a refined and elegant prince is so loving towards you, does it stir up romantic feelings?"
"If you're still chattering away on the rooftop, once I've recovered, I wouldn't mind sending a few Extreme Mints your way."
As soon as he heard her threatening tone, Huā Fēi's body stiffened on the rooftop, remembering the lesson from last time. He opened his mouth and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go help you investigate, isn't that enough?" As soon as his helpless voice fell, a red figure flashed by, and he disappeared without a trace.
The next day, Tang Xin was alone in the room making antidotes. She stayed there from dawn till dusk without even eating a meal until the door opened at sunset. As soon as the door opened, several people waiting outside rushed to greet her.
"How's your sister?" Tang Zihao asked as he walked up.
"Xīn er, will your father really be okay?" Bai Yan was still worried in her heart.
"Miss, come and have a bowl of porridge first!" Xia Xue and Xia Yu said as they walked forward.
Tang Xin smiled and walked to the edge of the table, sitting down with a smile: "Mother, Brother Hua, don't worry, I've made the antidote pills. The dozen or so herbs are all sacred medicines for detoxification, and by combining them together, even the most violent poison can be cured. Here are two more, keep them as a precaution against unexpected situations." Because of this accidental snake bite, she wanted to make an antidote pill that could cure all poisons, but some of the medicines were very hard to find, so she only made four pills.
Taking over the bottle, Tang Zihao asked: "Sister, what are you planning to do next?"
