Chapter 96 : Trip to Namman
The Divine Physician's granddaughter, Seong Sang-ah, was lying on the bed.
"I didn't know she couldn't speak properly or move well."
At Seol Ye-rin's words, I explained what had happened just a while ago to the group.
Then.
"What a son of a bitch!"
"I heard they were... lovers originally? How could he do that?"
"He raised a black-haired beast."
"...Still, he must have had a shred of conscience since he didn't just abandon her and run."
I corrected Han Seol-bi's words.
"That's not it."
He used Seong Sang-ah as bait to kidnap the Divine Physician for the Poison Palace and Gu Jeong-cheon intended to sell the Physician and his granddaughter to make a big fortune.
"That guy isn't even fit to be ground up and drunk!"
Huff huff.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Now, now, calm down."
The important thing right now wasn't that guy nad Gu Jeong-mul or Gu Jeong-cheon.
"Elder Divine Physician, you originally intended to take the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb from and feed it to Miss Seong, right?"
"That is correct."
"I feel that feeding it to her right now won't make a huge difference."
"Then what do you think should be done?"
"I'm not an expert on poison, but I did learn sothing similar to Poison Arts a while ago. Could you trust and leave it to once?"
It could be difficult to entrust his granddaughter to a non-expert.
"Since you learned the Poison Venerable's martial arts, I expect you are sufficiently skilled. I ask this of you."
The Divine Physician said he trusted .
"Thank you."
"Will it really be okay?"
Rather, Seol Ye-rin asked with a worried gaze.
"I don't think it will go wrong."
"Then I will trust you too."
"Thanks."
I slowly approached the bed.
"Miss Seong, please relax."
Once again, I held Miss Seong's hand.
The mont I release the Physician's energy blocking the qi center...
The worst case would be the poison gathered in the qi center releasing and spreading throughout the whole body.
So it is best for to treat Seong Sang-ah.
Tzzzt.
My Extre Yang Qi began to flow into Seong Sang-ah.
Then.
"Ugh."
Seong Sang-ah groaned.
It was because the Extre Yang Qi started moving slowly towards the qi center through the acupoints.
The problem was.
The acupoints where the Extre Yang Qi passed were heating up completely.
'This can be supplented by the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb anyway.'
The most important thing is whether I can burn the poison in the qi center or not.
Sssss- Thump thump.
Very carefully, the Extre Yang Qi touched the qi center.
Flinch.
I felt the poison inside the qi center shrinking back in fear.
It knows.
That I am thinking of burning the poison away.
But it won't co out like this.
'Co out.'
I begin to operate the Ten Thousand Heavens Poison Hand.
Flinch flinch.
As I operated the Ten Thousand Heavens Poison Hand, the poison clung towards my hand.
It felt like it wanted to co out right now but couldn't break through the barrier the Physician had set up.
In that case.
'I'll open it for you.'
Whoosh.
I didn't insert the Extre Yang Qi to burn the poison.
It was just an elent to burn the barrier the Physician blocked.
As the Physician's barrier was breached.
Shoooook!
Terrified of being burned, the poison rushed madly towards the Ten Thousand Heavens Poison Hand.
Sssuk.
The poison ca out in an instant.
"Did you succeed?!"
"It's not over yet!"
I quickly took out the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb and brought it to Seong Sang-ah's mouth.
Slither.
Then the Black Yin Ten Thousand Year Herb absorbed into Seong Sang-ah.
***
Seong Sang-ah had been conscious, but lived a life unable to speak or act for too long.
So when Gu Jeong-cheon betrayed her, she thought that could happen too.
But.
'Just who is this person...'
Why is he trying so hard?
She could feel it.
That the poison in her qi center had left.
The acupoints that hurt like they were burning were being recovered by the spiritual dicine that entered her mouth.
As a physician's daughter, and a physician's granddaughter.
Seong Sang-ah, who wants to beco a physician of the Seongsu Clinic in the future, knows.
How hard and difficult this task is.
"Phew."
The treatnt was over.
"It was successful."
"Sang-ah!"
The grandfather ran over and checked Seong Sang-ah.
"Really, you really neutralized the poison!"
"Grandfather..."
As the energy in her qi center released into the fine veins of her whole body, she was able to speak well again and move her body.
There was sothing Seong Sang-ah had to say first.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
"N-no. You trusted my humble skills, so I am the one who is thankful. Congratulations on your recovery."
I left those words and entered another room, hoping they would share a reunion between grandfather and granddaughter.
"You must be very tired."
Thinking that I might have beco tired because of Seong Sang-ah, she harbored a worried heart.
"It turned out well."
"Wait, but originally we were going to Namman because of the Divine Physician's granddaughter."
"Since the Young Master cured Miss Seong, there is no need to go anymore."
"Shouldn't we ask the Young Palace Head whether we should go to Namman or not?"
"That is true."
"Huh? Where is the Young Palace Head?"
"She followed the Captain?"
"Oops, shouldn't disturb them."
Seong Sang-ah's expression stiffened as she quietly listened to the conversation of the Ice Palace martial artists.
***
At that ti.
Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians.
The Poison Palace Lord, Sa Mun-so, was frowning deeply.
"You're saying the Poison Venerable's Tomb we were building in Guizhou was robbed? By whom?"
"I-I apologize. They say they don't know that well either."
"Are you saying that knowing how much money we poured into the Poison Venerable's Tomb in Guizhou!!"
Sa Mun-so, who was extrely angry, asked his subordinate.
"...Where is the Divine Physician?"
"I apologize, he is currently missing."
"Missing? What do you an?"
The Poison Palace's General Manager shared the situation just before the Divine Physician went missing with the Poison Palace Lord.
"His granddaughter was sick, and the Divine Physician was coming back to treat her, and you used the Divine Physician's disciple to hold the granddaughter as a weakness?"
It was twisted completely intricately.
However, the problem was.
"And you report this as a job well done right now!"
Thud.
The Poison Palace Lord, who was about to strike the General Manager's head, checked the docunts and shouted.
"Send people to Yunnan right now!"
"Yes? ...Why are you doing this?"
"Don't you see this right now?"
[Yunnan Inn Guest Registry.]
– Seong I-han.
The Poison Palace Lord's insides boiled.
It seed there were plenty of guys who didn't know the Divine Physician's real na was Seong I-han.
Just because they were poison n of the Poison Palace, didn't an they could beco poison n just by handling poison well.
Usually, one needed to be smart to unfold Poison Arts, but the poison n of Namman could beco poison n even if they were a bit ignorant.
It seed this was acting unfavorably right now.
"We will dispatch the poison n to Yunnan right now!"
"Find the Divine Physician and also find the guys who did that to Guizhou while you're at it!"
"Yes, Palace Lord!"
The Poison Palace began to get busy.
***
After treating the Divine Physician's granddaughter, Seong Sang-ah, and returning to the accommodation, I unfolded a map.
– Hehe, what kind of trick are you planning this ti?
– Indeed.
Knock knock.
"Can I co in?"
"Yeah."
Following , the Young Palace Head, Seol Ye-rin, entered.
"Are you very tired?"
"No."
"Then why did you co in imdiately like this?"
"I have to make the next plan."
"If it's a plan..."
I saved the Divine Physician's granddaughter and the Divine Physician.
And on the way to Yunnan, I completely smashed the work the Poison Palace was planning in Guizhou.
The Poison Palace of the Southern Barbarians won't sit by and watch this.
If they notice that the Ice Palace intervened, destroyed the Poison Venerable's Tomb, and stole away the Divine Physician and his granddaughter.
'Namman might strike the Ice Palace before the Demonic Cult attacks the Ice Palace.'
I had to stop such a thing from happening.
And to stop a war.
'Strike first to win.'
Originally, the guy who hits first wins.
"We can't just end it like this."
"Are you talking about the Poison Palace?"
"Right, and our engagent trip. Mother-in-law told us to go to Namman."
Namman must be a warm neighborhood.
More than the Central Plains.
I couldn't even climb Yueyang Tower and tilt a glass looking at Dongting Lake, but I wanted to take care of the Poison Palace and have so rest ti with Seol Ye-rin in Namman.
"You were still thinking about that?"
"Of course."
"I'm a little moved."
"Huh?"
I stopped looking at the map and looked back at Seol Ye-rin.
"They say there is a famous old castle in Namman."
"Really?"
"I want to go there once."
"You must have liked going to famous spots."
"Well, it was regrettable that I couldn't do what everyone else does."
Then I have to go.
"Alright, let's go."
"Then I can tell everyone to co in now, right?"
"Huh?"
"Co in, everyone!"
Rumble.
At Seol Ye-rin's one word.
Divine Physician Seong I-han, his granddaughter Seong Sang-ah.
Potala Palace Young Palace Head Cheon Deung-jin.
Cold Blood Han Family's Han Seol-bi.
Small Snow Squad's Eun Bin, Baek Mu-yong, Wi Ji-yeong, Tae Un-seo, Yu So-dong, and Mu-myeong who joined this ti.
"It feels cramped with everyone in here, but it looks full and good."
"Captain, if you intended to wage war, you should have consulted us first."
Baek Mu-yong spoke as if he was hurt.
"Shouldn't the Captain establish a strategy first and give instructions to the subordinates?"
"If you put it that way, you said I, the Young Palace Head of the Ice Palace, have the decision-making authority."
As Seol Ye-rin pointed out.
"I probably know the geography of Namman best here. I will do my best."
"No, Miss Seong, you don't have to overdo it..."
"Please let help. Small Snow Squad Captain."
When even the Divine Physician ca out like that, I spoke as if there was no helping it.
"Counting us all, there are twelve. It is unknown whether we can sweep away the Poison Palace with this number. For private reasons, revenge for Mu-myeong, the Divine Physician, and Miss Seong. For public reasons... to make the Ice Palace great again, I intend to strike the Poison Palace. Can you all follow ?"
"Gladly."
"We will follow."
"Let's burn them all!"
"Let's go!"
"Make!"
"The Ice Palace!"
"Great!"
"Again!"
Thus, the purpose of the trip to Namman, which was for sightseeing, was changed.
