Ling Yue arrived at Lin Yaoxie's room, where Lin Yaoxie was resting.

He was startled when he saw Ling Yue come in.

He said, "Senior Brother Ling Yue, is there something you need from me?"

Ling Yue then said, "Why do you keep everything from me? If Ouyang Shaogong hadn't told me, how long were you planning to keep it from me?"

Lin Yaoxie realized that Ling Yue was talking about the demon poison.

"I didn't mean to keep it from everyone, I just didn't want you to worry about me. If I told you, you would definitely be distracted by me."

Ling Yue sighed helplessly.

He knew Lin Yaoxie's personality.

He wasn't surprised that Lin Yaoxie did this.

Ling Yue said, "If you still consider me your senior brother, then you should tell me everything that happens to you in the future, okay? You keep everything from me. Do you think that will stop me from worrying about you? The more you do this, the more worried I become."

Lin Yaoxie replied, "Senior brother, I was wrong this time. I won't hide it from you again in the future."

Then Ling Yue asked, "By the way, how are you doing now?"

"Don't worry, Ouyang Shaogong has already checked me out, and I'm much better."

After Ouyang Shaogong went down the mountain alone, he searched for a long time before finally finding the herb. After finding it, Ouyang Shaogong returned to Tianyong City.

But when he returned home today, he saw Ling Duan and a group of people blocking his way.

So he tried to hide the herbs.

However, Ling Duan saw Ouyang Shao's actions.

So Ling Duan walked up to Ouyang Shaogong and said, "Ouyang Shaogong, what are you holding in your hand? Let us see."

Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said, "Senior Brother Lingduan, you must be mistaken. What could I possibly be hiding? Oh, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Ouyang Shaogong wanted to leave, but Ling Duan and other disciples blocked his way.

Ling Duan said, "If you don't hand over the item today, you can forget about leaving here. Do you even respect me as your second senior brother? How dare you disobey your second senior brother?"

Ouyang Shaogong thought to himself, "I can't take this herb out. If I do, Ling Duan will snatch it away."

All my efforts would be wasted. Besides, these herbs are rare, and I might not be able to find them again if I go down the mountain.

Therefore, no matter what, Ouyang Shaogong would not take out the medicinal herbs.

Seeing how much Ouyang Shaogong treasured that thing, Ling Duan became even more curious about what Ouyang Shaogong was hiding.

Chapter 101 They Stole It

Seeing that Ouyang Shaogong refused to give it to him no matter what, Ling Duan gestured to the disciple beside him.

His disciple then walked over to Ouyang Shaogong.

The disciples then attacked Ouyang Shaogong.

They tried to steal the herbs from his body, but Ouyang Shaogong dodged them.

However, he was no match for so many disciples, and Ouyang Shaogong's herbs were quickly snatched away by them.

Ling Duan quickly obtained the herbs, then glanced at them a few times and smelled them.

He asked curiously, "Ouyang Shaogong, what kind of medicinal herb is this and what is it used for?"

Ouyang Shaogong remained silent.

He simply watched as Ling Duan stepped forward.

Ling Duan gave Ouyang Shaogong a warning look.

“You’re not going to tell me, are you? If you don’t, I’ll destroy it,” Ling Duan said.

Ouyang Shaogong became anxious.

He said, "Don't touch it. I'll tell you. This herb is used to treat colds. Recently, Feng Qingxue has had a slight cold, so I picked this herb for her. Don't ruin this cold."

Lin Duan sneered and said, "Ouyang Shaogong, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Don't think I don't know what kind of herb this is. It's an antidote, isn't it? If it were for treating a cold, would you be so nervous? That's ridiculous."

Ouyang Shaogong was quickly exposed by Ling Duan.

So he tried to go up and snatch it, but Ling Duan quickly dodged it.

Ouyang Shaogong was determined to seize the medicinal herbs at all costs; he had made up his mind to do so.

Ouyang Shaogong lunged at Ling Duan, but just as Ouyang Shaogong got the herb, Ling Duan drew his sword and slashed at it, destroying the herb.

But Ouyang Shaogong still put the herbs in his bosom, and the other disciples swarmed around him.

They started punching and kicking him.

Ouyang Shaogong simply clutched the herbs tightly to his chest, letting the disciples beat him.

Ouyang Shaogong had no way to resist.

After fighting for a while, Ling Duan said, "Alright, stop fighting, let him get lost."

After Ling Duan finished speaking, he left with his men.

Ouyang Shaogong finally managed to get up from the ground.

He looked around and saw that the herbs here were damaged.

The effect won't be as good.

Ouyang Shaogong was somewhat frustrated. At this moment, his whole body was covered in injuries and he was in great pain.

But he ignored his own injuries.

Ouyang Shaogong felt a pang of desolation. Just then, Feng Qingxue and Fuqu suddenly walked over.

They saw Ouyang Shaogong and stood there dumbfounded.

The two then surrounded him.

“Ouyang Shaogong? What are you doing here? Didn’t you go down the mountain to gather herbs? How did it go? Did you gather any herbs?” Feng Qingxue asked.

Fuqu suddenly noticed that Ouyang Shaogong was acting strangely.

Because he had some injuries on his face.

"Shao Gong, what's wrong? Why do you look like you've been bullied?" Fu Qu asked.

Ouyang Shaogong shook his head and said, "I just came back and saw Ling Duan here. They came to steal my herbs, and I got beaten up by them while trying to protect them. But in the end, there were just too many of them, and even though I was beaten up, I still couldn't protect the herbs."

Fuqu was very angry after hearing this.

She was about to confront Ling Duan when Ouyang Shaogong stopped Fuqu.

"Fuqu, let's forget about it. It's not a big deal. We can talk about it later. The most important thing now is to think of a way to save Senior Brother Yaoxie," Ouyang Shaogong said.

So the three of them went to see Lin Yaoxie.

When Lin Yaoxie saw them arrive, he asked them to sit down.

Then Lin Yaoxie saw the injuries on Ouyang Shaogong's body.

So Ouyang Shaogong told Lin Yaoxie what had just happened.

Lin Yaoxie was very angry after hearing this, and then Feng Qingxue comforted him.

"Don't get angry right now. Let's think of a way to get rid of the poison in your body first."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Ling Duan is really too much. I didn't bother with him before, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant now, actually making Shao Gong look like this."

Ouyang Shaogong said, "The herbs have been damaged now, and it's impossible to remove the poison from your body with just the herbs. You need an alchemy furnace, because you need to use pills to mix them together before you can remove the poison from your body."

Fuqu suddenly said, "Oh right, I remember there was an alchemy furnace in Tianyong City, but it was with Elder Zhijian. However, Elder Zhijian is now in seclusion and is not here, so we may not be able to see it."

Ouyang Shaogong said, "That's not a problem. Is there anyone guarding Elder Changjian's place?"

Fuqu replied, "It's Hongyu."

So Ouyang Shaogong stood up and said, "Then let's go tell Hongyu."

Fuqu then said, "That might not work, because Hongyu is always serious, and she listens to the Sword-Holding Elder in everything she says. She won't lend us that alchemy furnace."

Chapter 102 Stealing is the only option

"How will you know if you don't try?" Ouyang Shaogong said.

“I know Sister Hongyu’s temperament best. Don’t even think about getting the alchemy furnace from her. It’s harder than killing a demon,” Fuqu said.

Lin Yaoxie also knew about Hongyu.

“But…after all, people have hearts of flesh and blood. I just don’t believe that if we beg her, she will refuse,” Ouyang Shaogong said again.

Then Ouyang Shaogong walked out.

Feng Qingxue thought about it for a moment and felt that what Ouyang Shaogong said made some sense.

"I'll go and ask Hongyu too," Feng Qingxue said before walking out.

So the two of them came to Hongyu's place.

Ouyang Shaogong stepped forward and then knocked on Hongyu's door.

Soon, Hongyu opened the door and came out.

"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Hongyu asked.

"Senior Sister Hongyu, we've come here to borrow your alchemy furnace. We hope you can grant our request," Ouyang Shaogong said.

“You’re all being ridiculous. This alchemy furnace isn’t something you can just take whenever you want. If you were like this, it would have been borrowed by some disciple long ago,” Hongyu said.

After Hongyu finished speaking, she prepared to close the door.

Ouyang Shaogong quickly reached out to block it.

“Hiss…” Ouyang Shaogong hissed.

His hand got caught in the door.

Hongyu opened the door again.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, why did you reach out your hand?" Hongyu said apologetically.

Ouyang Shaogong shook his head and then smiled, "It's nothing."
