Chapter 1421 Chaos within Lin Family
The matter of Lin Family was not something Yu Zheng Xi could touch. As for what his second senior sister wanted, he will just wait for the time and asked this matter to the person in question directly.
Anyway, he knew that Lin Xia had things she wanted to do too.
"She had her own reasons for staying with Lin Family all these years." Traveling Doctor Liu closed his eyes and sighed. "Naturally, I will help her if she wants it. But if she didn't want it, I will not interfere at all."
Yu Zheng Xi nodded.
He looked into the distance, faintly recalling the day when his Master stood in front of him, protecting him who was clueless of the world. A stupid adult who barely knew anything and could only worked his best to make sure that he could survive but knew nothing of those ridiculous schemes.
Slowly, Yu Zheng Xi closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they had returned to their previous calmness.
It has been so many years.
He could never change the past, so all he had to do was to live in the present time.
Traveling Doctor Liu didn't bother Yu Zheng Xi and made a cup of tea. Anyway, he didn't have any plan to get involved with Shan Yu and the villagers. This time, he would just relax and watched from the side.
His old body could no longer handle the intensity of long period doing treatment again.
...
<Lin Family Mountain>
The chaos on the mountain foot just yesterday didn't come unnoticed. There were a lot of people who heard the noise but they didn't dare to get out.
Who are you kidding?
They all might have a lot of knowledge in regards to poison, but many of them didn't have good martial arts. They were nothing more than ordinary members of Lin Family who was in charge of superficial matters.
All they could do was to make sure that they did their work well.
"Is it safe outside?" Lin Sun asked, his aged body was tired, but he knew that he had to be careful in case those people were thinking of making use of him again. They would not care too much about his safety if he was useless.
Without any result, they would not even bother with his life and death.
Lin Family was already declining and the new Emperor of Zhang Xu Kingdom didn't seem to care about him that much. If not for Prime Minister Lei giving them important task, it was estimated that they couldn't even keep this mountain.
"Replying to Elder, the situation had stabilized and there's no forces from either side could be seen outside Lin Family Mountain."
"That's good." Lin Sun took a deep breath.
Another elder who didn't have that good relationship with Lin Sun rolled his eyes covertly. He felt that Lin Sun was simply too pretentious and afraid of death. There was no way anyone could come into Lin Family Mountain.
What was the use of being so scared like that?
Holing up at the high mountain with countless poisonous herbs around, the elders were gathering. They had already gotten used with these herbs, but it was not like they didn't pay any price.
For one, their lifespan was actually not that long. Many of them were actually already at the end of their lives but there hasn't been anyone good enough from the younger generation to replace them so far.
They could only bite the bullet and continued to maintain this position.
"The herbs no longer exist. When they come again, we need to have an answer." Another elder reminded.
"Tsk, we have to delay them."
Lin Sun's face was also not good. He didn't know how long it would take for him to be able to make the poison again. If the higher ups in Zhang Xu Kingdom were to be dissatisfied with him, it was estimated that they couldn't even do anything.
As the only one who could make the poison, it was estimated that he would be under more scrutiny.
Lin Family pressure was huge.
The war with Fei Yang Kingdom was heated up and if they couldn't' take part in this, if Zhang Xu Kingdom won, it was estimated that they themselves wouldn't last long either.
"I'll think of finding other alternatives." Lin Sun rubbed his wrinkled forehead.
The other elders looked at each other and could only continue their discussion.
While they were busy, the Lin Family members below were still doing their activities as usual. However, they were somewhat listless and anxious. The war yesterday had affected them to a certain degree, making them a bit fearful to get out.
Many of them were not strong.
Not to mention, they all feared for their lives. It was not easy for them to survive the harsh treatment of Lin Family members who were still young and had to be trained. Now, they had to face the danger of the people from outside.
*sigh*
Thud! Thud!
At one side of the mountain, several people from Lin Family dropped down, unconscious. The perpetrator looked at the pile of herbs that was about to be mixed to the fire and swiftly took a different bag.
This bag will instead produce nonpoisonous smoke when it was burn.
The mist wouldn't look much different, but those people outside who didn't have any immunity would be able to come in.
The man finished doing this and swiftly moved to the other areas, switching the batch of herbs and knocking out the few Lin Family members who were in charge of burning the herbs and maintaining the poisonous mist.
Swish!
At the last step, the man swiftly stopped before the wall that separate the inner section of Lin Family.
He took out a bag and smeared some kind of paste on the wall. After that, he torched it and then ran away as fast as possible.
Bang!
The sound of faint explosion could be heard before they could see that there was fire spreading. The poison mist was not exactly fire resistant and after being mixed with unknown herbs, it spread into the inner section.
Smoke rise from the wall.
"Another fire?"
"That didn't seem to come from the inner section."
"We have to stop it this time."
"Yes!"
