Chapter 700: Chapter 700 Ye Chenghong’s Secret (2)

Ye Chenghong sighed after hearing about what had happened from Ming Yuan and continued to ask, "So how did you make it back?"

"Actually, at that time, I didn’t know whether I had returned to the Medicine Sect or not. After that man left, I only felt my body getting heavier and my whole body going numb, with difficulty breathing. At that moment, I just thought that, even if I were to die, I didn’t want to die outside. So I stumbled forward, not knowing how long I walked, I vaguely saw the shadow of the Medicine Sect, and then I didn’t know anything anymore."

Ming Yuan recounted the entire incident in great detail, not missing any detail.

Ye Chenghong and the four Great Elders, as well as Nie Shan, exchanged glances after listening to Ming Yuan’s story, their eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"Ming Yuan, do you know that you were poisoned with Mutated Green Frost?" Ye Chenghong, seeing Ming Yuan’s puzzled face, patiently explained, "This poison is recorded in the secret techniques of the Medicine Sect, and only successive Sect Leaders and Elders are privy to it, so it’s normal for you not to know about Green Frost. This poison is extremely powerful; normally, once poisoned, a person would drop dead instantly. You were incredibly fortunate to have lasted that long!"

Upon hearing Ye Chenghong’s words, Ming Yuan saw a flicker of understanding in his eyes and internally he felt tremendously relieved. He hadn’t realized the poison he suffered was so frightening. It seemed he really did pick up a second chance at life. With this in mind, Ming Yuan felt even more grateful to An Yiqing, thanking her from the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, the only thought in my mind was that even if I died, I should not die outside. I wanted to die in front of my own home. So, with sheer willpower, I managed to find my way back somehow. This was truly too dangerous, I actually had a brush with death at the Ghost Gate. Junior sister, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be sipping tea in the Hall of Yama King right now."

An Yiqing smiled softly upon hearing Ming Yuan’s jest, "Big brother, with your culinary skills, it would be a waste to accompany Yama Raja drinking tea, wouldn’t it?"

Ming Yuan gave a weak smile, a healthy flush briefly returning to his pale face.

"Now that you’ve woken up, Ming Yuan, since you have been fortunate enough to survive, the road ahead will only get better. As the saying goes, ’a blessing in disguise.’ Having walked away from the Ghost Gate, you’ve comprehended the mysteries of life and death, which will only strengthen your will," Ye Chenghong gently patted Ming Yuan’s shoulder, saying affectionately, "Get some rest, recovering is your most important task right now. Don’t worry about Medicine Sect affairs; with us few old fellows here, nobody can harm our people. Just focus on getting better, and once you do, cook some delicious meals for Xiao Qing as a way to repay her life-saving grace, haha!"

Ye Chenghong’s teasing made An Yiqing glare at him with feigned annoyance, the four Great Elders and Nie Shan all laughed heartily, and even the weak Ming Yuan laughed from his bed.

After leaving the treatment room, Ye Chenghong and An Yiqing went to the Medicine Sect’s inner hall.

The inner hall had all its windows and doors tightly shut, with the Medicine Sect’s most loyal disciples guarding vigilantly, not even a fly could get in. The inner hall was an important place for the Medicine Sect people to discuss important matters; security was extraordinarily tight. Without Sect Leader Ye Chenghong’s permission, not even the Great Elders or An Yiqing could take a step inside.

At this moment, inside the inner hall, Ye Chenghong sat at the head, flanked by the four Great Elders and Nie Shan, with An Yiqing sitting quietly below, using her peripheral vision to keenly observe the expressions on the Elders’ faces.
