Chapter 1909: Poison of the Human Realm

The person who was sitting inside wasn’t someone else, but was Mo Zhan, whom she had seen the other day.

“Young Miss, why are you here?” Mo Zhan was surprised to see Sima You Yue. Hadn’t she gone to the Imperial Capital? Why had she come here?

“I heard that something has happened to the Mo Clan, so I came over to take a look and see if it’s true.” Sima You Yue said, “When I went to Ink City to take a look, I knew that this news was true.”

“Old Zhan, this is…” The shopkeeper had never seen Sima You Yue before. Because of what had happened in the Mo Clan recently, he didn’t know much about things in the outside world.

“She is Young Miss You Yue, she is a Princess appointed by the Ghost King.” Mo Zhan introduced.

“She is Young Miss You Yue?” The shopkeeper was surprised. He got up immediately and bowed to Sima You Yue, “Forgive me for being ignorant and not recognising Young Miss. I hope Young Miss won’t be offended.”

“Shopkeeper is too polite.” Sima You Yue stepped forward and helped him up. She looked at Mo Zhan and said: “Why are you here? What exactly has happened in the Mo Clan? Where are Mo Zhi and Mo Yu?”

“I have come out for Young Master this time.” Mo Zhan said. A look of worry appeared on his face when he spoke of Mo Zhi.

“What’s wrong with Mo Zhi?”

Mo Zhan hesitated for a moment, then he told her the truth: “When we came back from Nirvana River, we were intercepted by assassins and Young Master was poisoned. He’s still not woken up yet.”

“What?” Sima You Yue was shocked. It had been two or three years since she and Mo Zhi had parted ways, and he had been unconscious this whole time!

“This time I have come out to instruct Old Xu to find the medicine ingredients that we need.” Mo Zhan said.

“Have you found a way to detoxify the poison?” Sima You You asked with hope in her eyes.

“No, it’s medicine ingredients to prolong Young Master’s life. However, the doctor in the clan said that if we don’t detoxify the poison soon, then he is afraid that Young Master…” Mo Zhan’s eyes became red when he spoke about this.

“Then have you given the instructions? I also know some medical skills, take me to have a look.” Sima You Yue said.

Mo Zhan didn’t know about Sima You Yue’s medical skills, but he knew that she had a good relationship with Mo Zhi. So when he learned that she knew medical skills, he wanted her to try to heal him.

“I have already left the instructions and was just about to return to the clan. Please follow me Princess.” He took out the teleportation array and brought Sima You Yue back to the clan with him.

The location of the Mo Clan was very concealed. If it weren’t for the direct teleportation array, it would be difficult for ordinary people to get there.

Upon seeing Mo Zhan had brought four strangers in, someone stopped him immediately.

“Mo Zhan, what are you doing? How can you bring strangers in at a time like this?”

“This is Princess You Yue, the person that the Ancestors have ordered us to protect.” Mo Zhan said, “Princess You Yue is versed in medical skills and I want to take her to treat our Young Master.”

When the other party heard that she was Princess You Yue, his attitude became more respectful. However, he still didn’t give way immediately, but said awkwardly: “Mo Zhan, it’s not a trivial matter to treat the Young Master. Miss You Yue looks very young, even the doctors in the clan are at a loss. If something were to happen…”

“Where is the Patriarch. I will bring the Princess to see the Patriarch.”

“The Patriarch is in the Assembly Hall.”

“Princess, we will go…”

“Where is Mo Yu?” Sima You Yue asked.

“The Ancestor is also there.”

Unexpectedly, Mo Yu appeared in front of them as soon as she spoke. As soon as Mo Yu saw Sima You Yue, a look of relief appeared on his face and he said solemnly: “You’re here.”

“Well, I came to see if I can be of any help.” Sima You Yue nodded, “Mo Zhi…”

“I’ll bring you over.” Mo Yu said. He flicked his sleeves and they disappeared from where they stood, with only Mo Zhan and the person who had intercepted them left behind.

The Ancestor came out to greet her personally, it seemed that the rumour that she had a good relationship with the Ancestor before was true.

The Mo Clan’s Patriarch, Mo Xie, Mo Zhi’s grandfather, and Mo Zhi’s father Mo Li were in Mo Zhi’s courtyard. They were a little surprised when they saw that Mo Yu had brought a little girl over.

They had been in the Assembly Hall earlier discussing matters when Mo Yu had suddenly said that someone was coming and had asked them to wait here. They hadn’t expected that the person would be her.

“Greetings Princess.”

Sima You Yue dispensed with the niceties and asked them directly: “Where is Mo Zhi?”

“He’s inside. I will take you in.” Mo Yu brought Sima You Yue to Mo Zhi’s bedroom where she saw a lifeless Mo Zhi with a pale and thin face lying on the bed.

“Let me take a look at him first.” Sima You Yue stepped forward and began to examine him.

The people in the room daren’t speak. Although Mo Xie and Mo Li had their doubts, they didn’t dare to say anything seeing as their Ancestor was present.

Sima You Yue had taken a long time examining Mo Zhi. From the expression on her face, Mo Yu knew that Mo Zhi would be fine.

“How is it?”

“Who was the person who poisoned him?” Sima You Yue asked instead of replying to him.

“Why?”

“The poison in Mo Zhi is from the Human Realm.” Sima You Yue said, “Did the assassin sent to kill him have any ties to the Human Realm?”

Mo Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, “Are you sure?”

Sima You Yue nodded and said affirmatively: “The person who developed this kind of poison is my friend. However, this kind of poison seals the throat in the Human Realm, and there is no way to survive it. Maybe the other party wanted to use a poison that you cannot trace, so he chose a poison from the Human Realm. However, it is also precisely because the human race and ghost race have physical differences in their bodies, that’s why Mo Zhi has been able to survive till this day.”

When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but be a little scared. If the other party had used poison from the Ghost Realm, would the news she received be of Mo Zhi’s death?

“Then do you know what the antidote is?” Mo Li asked.

“I do know what the antidote is, but because Mo Zhi’s physique has changed, I need to do some research first. I probably only need three to five days.” Sima You Yue said.

“It’s good that he can be saved, it’s good that he can be saved.” Mo Li was relieved. As long as there was hope, then there would be no problem.

Mo Yu looked at Sima You Yue, “I heard that you were versed in medical skills in the Human Realm, but I didn’t expect your medical knowledge to be so good. I thought those people were exaggerating!”

It was precisely because of this that it had never crossed his mind to seek Sima You Yue to treat Mo Zhi.

“How old was I when you first met me? It’s normal that you didn’t believe it back then.” Sima You Yue said, “Prepare a house for me…”

…

The news that Sima You Yue was going to heal Mo Zhi had spread through the Mo Clan quickly. Most people hadn’t placed much hope in her arrival. If it weren’t for the support of their Ancestor, they would have probably prevented such a ridiculous thing from happening.

A little girl who was barely one hundred years old would be better than the doctor in their Mo Clan who was over a thousand years old? This was hard to believe. However, no one dared to say anything as the Ancestor was present, especially as this person was someone the Ancestor had personally went to greet.

Mo Zhi felt like he had been asleep for a very long time, his whole body ached and his head felt like it had been pricked by needles. He wanted to reach out to rub it but he found that he was unable to move. When he felt that there was someone around him, he opened his eyes laboriously.
