Chapter 1196 - 1196 1196 Moved

1196: Chapter 1196: Moved 1196: Chapter 1196: Moved Dao Xuzi only came sauntering over at noon the next day, which really aggravated Yang Ruxin.

The old man was riding a donkey so leisurely that he didn’t at all seem in a hurry to rescue anyone; he actually looked more like he was visiting his maternal home if he had a floral headscarf on.

Shadow Three claimed innocence, saying that since the senior wasn’t rushing, he didn’t dare to urge him on.

“When I wasn’t here, didn’t you two handle everything just fine?” Dao Xuzi glanced at Yang Ruxin, “One ought to be calm in all matters; what’s the rush?

I’m old; if I rode a horse too fast, wouldn’t I just fall apart?”

Yang Ruxin ran out of patience, thinking: if you’re old, you must be right.

Fang Dehua knew this old man was the famous Divine Doctor Dao Xuzi, a person the Emperor himself went to great lengths to win over.

Naturally, he showed the utmost respect, preparing a whole table of delicacies to entertain him.

The old man, for the sake of Yang Ruxin, was quite amiable to Fang Dehua, which made him even more flattered.

After eating and drinking his fill, Dao Xuzi then set off for the estate.

Yang Ruxin recounted the situation in the cave, naturally not omitting Tang Wanqian.

“That old geezer is still alive…” A flash of emotion flickered in Dao Xuzi’s eyes.

Although he didn’t say much more, it was clear that the little donkey quickened its pace.

The estate was very quiet that day, with no incidents.

Dao Xuzi signaled to uncover the cave entrance, then stood at the doorway and sniffed, “This poison won’t be a problem for either of you.”

“What about her?” Yang Ruxin pushed Yu Qingge forward.

Dao Xuzi grabbed a hold of Yu Qingge’s wrist but quickly let go, “This girl has undergone some herbalist training before, but it was too short a time; she has no immunity to poison now,” he then smacked his lips, “I hadn’t expected you to be old Tang’s granddaughter…”

“Are you familiar with Tang senior?”

“Who’s familiar with that old coot?” Dao Xuzi suddenly bristled, “Ten years haven’t killed him; I’ll poison him to death as soon as I get in there…”

Yang Ruxin was suddenly at his wits’ end.

“Senior, is it really okay for you to talk about my grandfather like that while I’m standing right here?” Yu Qingge suddenly said weakly.

Dao Xuzi’s face turned sheepish, and he turned and entered the tunnel.

Yang Ruxin chuckled, “There you go taking a stand, not bad, not bad…”

Yu Qingge arched an eyebrow ever so slightly.

“Do you have any messages?

I can take them in for you…”

“Tell him to stay safe; I’ll wait for him to come out, or he can wait for me to go in…” Yu Qingge touched her nose.

Yang Ruxin nodded, then also followed into the tunnel.

However, he could already hear Dao Xuzi’s voice from afar in the tunnel, “Old Tang, I’m telling you, I’m absolutely the best at making and using poisons now; you’re no match…”

“Stop bragging,” Tang Wanqian looked disdainful, “You couldn’t beat me ten years ago; even if you try harder, you’re not going to surpass me…

Talent is predetermined…”

“Then let’s have a try…” Dao Xuzi glared, but quickly waved his hands, “Forget it, let’s wait until you get out to try, otherwise, others will say I picked on you…”

Yang Ruxin finally understood why Dao Xuzi, after finding Xiaolun, had devoted himself to concocting poisons; he had previously competed with Tang Wanqian and apparently lost.

But now was not the time for them to reminisce.

He quickly interjected, “Master, we should first take care of those two herbalists over there; otherwise, we’ll have endless troubles…”
