Yu Xiaogang returned to Shrek Academy. When he learned from Liu Erlong that Tang San had come back, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
When Yu Xiaogang appeared at the doorway, their eyes met instantly.
The years had left deep marks on Yu Xiaogang's face. The destruction of his sect had hit him hard, making him appear much older. His eyes no longer shone as brightly as before.
"Teacher!"
Tang San's voice trembled slightly. He stepped forward quickly and tightly grasped Yu Xiaogang's hand.
Yu Xiaogang looked up, a trace of joy and comfort flashing in his eyes.
Though Tang San's appearance had changed, the look in his eyes was still the same as before full of admiration and gratitude.
"Xiao San, you're back! That's wonderful!"
Tears shimmered in both their eyes. It was the joy of reunion after a long separation and the deep concern they held for each other.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Yu Xiaogang said with satisfaction:
"Xiao San, I didn't expect you to train in the Slaughter City for two years. Fortunately, you had your mother's Blue Silver Emperor soul bone to immediately suppress the killing aura on your body. Seeing how strong you've become, I'm truly happy and proud of you."
"Teacher, without your guidance, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder, his expression suddenly turning grave.
"Xiao San, I just returned from the imperial palace. There's something I must tell you."
"Teacher, is it about Emperor Xue Ye?"
"Yes, so you already know. His Majesty has been poisoned and is in critical condition. None of the imperial physicians have been able to cure him."
Tang San furrowed his brow, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
"Teacher, this poison... could it have been the work of Spirit Hall?"
Yu Xiaogang sighed and nodded.
"Although there is no direct evidence, all signs point to Spirit Hall being the main suspect. In recent years, they've expanded rapidly and grown increasingly ambitious. If His Majesty falls, it would undoubtedly be a huge opportunity for them."
Tang San's fists clenched involuntarily, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes.
"Teacher, if Senior Dugu were still alive, perhaps he could have detoxified him."
"Yes. Unfortunately, the Poison Douluo was murdered by those two traitors from Spirit Hall."
Speaking of Dugu Bo's death, both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were filled with anger.
"Teacher, I'd like to go to the palace to see His Majesty. Perhaps I can find a way to cure the poison."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
"Xiao San, it's already late. The palace is heavily guarded and not easy to enter. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to see Sect Master Ning. He has close ties with the royal family and knows the palace situation well. He can take you directly inside."
"Alright. Then we'll head to the palace together tomorrow."
After that, the two talked for a while longer, finalized their plan for the next morning, and then went to rest in their rooms.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaogang brought Tang San to meet Ning Fengzhi.
When he learned that the young man before him was Tang San, Ning Fengzhi was both surprised and delighted.
"Xiao San, I never imagined your appearance would change so much after a few years."
"Uncle Ning, I've heard about what happened to your sect. I believe that under your leadership, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely return to its former glory."
"I hope so. But it's a pity all those hidden weapons you designed for us were destroyed by Spirit Hall."
Tang San's expression suddenly turned sharp.
"Uncle Ning, don't lose hope. That just proves those hidden weapons were enough to threaten them. The more they fear them, the more I must create and make them even more powerful than before!"
"But under Spirit Hall's oppression, no blacksmith dares to forge powerful hidden weapons for us."
"Uncle Ning, don't forget the Empire's Weapons Bureau still exists. They've always been the ones making arms for the military. As long as we cure Emperor Xue Ye, we can restart mass production of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiao San, you're right. The Weapons Bureau's production capability is far beyond what the Strength Clan can match."
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi's expression suddenly became serious.
"However, Emperor Xue Ye's condition is critical. Curing him won't be easy."
"Uncle Ning, please take me to see him first. There might still be a way."
"Alright. Let's head to the palace."
"Uncle Ning, there might be spies from Spirit Hall inside the palace. Since my appearance has changed, they won't recognize me. Just call me Tang Yin, a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Hmm, you've thought this through well. We'll go with that."
After that, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San went to the royal palace together.
All of the palace guards had been replaced by Qian Renxue's men. The entire palace was filled with a chilling aura.
Qian Renxue knew that Ning Fengzhi had been frequently visiting Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber during this period, but she hadn't deliberately stopped him.
She believed that everything was under her control no one would be able to cure Emperor Xue Ye.
Once she was fully prepared, she would send Emperor Xue Ye to the underworld.
Under Ning Fengzhi's lead, Tang San entered Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber.
The emperor lay on the sickbed, his breath weak and shallow.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Fourth Prince Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing were all by his side.
The four of them saluted the royal family members in turn and then rose.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi bring a young man along, Xue Qinghe appeared somewhat curious.
"Teacher, who is this?"
"He is Tang Yin, a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. He specializes in detoxification. I brought him to examine His Majesty's condition and hope Your Highness will permit it."
"Teacher, you're too polite."
Upon hearing he was from the Clear Sky Sect, Xue Qinghe was startled inwardly. Looking at Tang San, he smiled and said:
"Since you're a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect and dare to come to the palace to treat my father, you must be quite capable. Tang Yin, if you can cure His Majesty, you will be heavily rewarded."
"Your Highness flatters me. I will do my utmost."
"Please proceed."
Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing exchanged glances. Both of them were hoping someone could cure Emperor Xue Ye.
After that, Tang San began to diagnose Emperor Xue Ye.
As he inserted several needles, his expression gradually darkened.
He sensed that the emperor had been poisoned with a mixture of toxins, administered at different times. Some of the poisons he couldn't even identify.
Seeing Tang San appear troubled, Xue Qinghe sneered inwardly:
"Tang Yin, this poison was administered by Yang Wushuang. Even powerful experts were helpless against it. How can a mere soul master like you possibly cure it?"
Under everyone's gaze, Tang San continued examining Emperor Xue Ye.
Suddenly, Prince Xue Xing asked:
"Tang Yin, can you cure the poison in His Majesty's body?"
Tang San respectfully replied:
"Your Highness, the toxins in His Majesty's body are extremely complex. I've identified several of them, but deciding how to counteract them will take further careful consideration."
Hearing this, Prince Xue Xing was somewhat relieved.
None of the physicians who previously diagnosed Emperor Xue Ye dared to express any conclusions.
This young man before him seemed more daring than the rest.
Xue Qinghe, seeing this, suppressed the displeasure in his heart and smiled:
"Tang Yin, it seems you are far more capable than those useless quacks. Then I'll leave His Majesty's detoxification to you."
"Your Highness flatters me. I shall do my utmost. I will first return to make the necessary preparations."
