The Story of the Swordsman

Sneak Out

After leaving Yun Lintian's stall, Yang Mengli was in no hurry to return to his residence. He walked aimlessly with a sad expression hanging on his face. Xiao Lingling wanted to comfort him, but she did not know what to say. He could only accompany his young miss secretly.

In the distance, a man dressed in gray stared at Yang Mengli for a long time before he took out a transmission jade from his pocket and said in a low voice, "Master, the doctor was unable to cure him. Do we need to monitor it further?"

"no need. Come back." A faint and old voice reverberated back into the man's mind. Instantly, his figure fused with the crowd and disappeared from the street.

It took an hour before Yang Mengli returned to his courtyard. He had Xiao Lingling come out, and carefully put up a sound barrier and spiritual senses in his room. After making sure no one was around, Yang Mengli took out a paper from his sleeve and read it. It was the paper that Yun Lintian had secretly inserted into his sleeve earlier.

"I can help you both. However, you've been watched by someone and I don't want to get into your trouble. If you want me to help you, come to me at night. I'll be waiting at the Autumn Wind Inn, room number seven. Remember, be careful when you go out and come with your sister. Don't take your servant with you."

Yang Mengli burned the paper straight after he finished reading. His face was full of admiration and excitement. He never thought that Yun Lintian would be careful because he did not even realize there was someone watching him all along. Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold as his hands clenched. He was not a fool and was well aware there was someone within the clan that was specifically aimed at him. It was just that they were hiding very well, rendering him helpless.

In fact, Yun Lintian was purely guessing it. When he saw Yang Mengli coming from afar, he managed to identify his condition immediately. Yang Mengli was obviously poisoned by a rare poison, the Ice Poison. He was, of course, a victim of a conspiracy. He did not need to use his brain to know that he was under someone's supervision.

Yang Mengli closed his eyes and tried to think of a way to sneak out without leaving a trace. His strength was only the eighth level of the Essence Realm. There was no way he could hide his presence from the many experts within the Yang Clan.

Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he found a solution. He immediately called Xiao Lingling to enter.

"Lingling, I need your help." Said Yang Mengli. Xiao Lingling was the person she trusted the most. Asking for help should not be a problem.

"What's up, Miss? Please, tell." Xiao Lingling was curious. The current Mengli seemed to be different from before.

"I want out to do something tonight. I want you to replace me in my room. I don't want anyone to know where I am. Can you do it?" Yang Mengli said with a serious expression.

Xiao Lingling was confused, but she still nodded her head, "No problem, Miss. What should I do?"

Yang Mengli smiled and explained his plan.

...

A hundred meters away from Yang Mengli's courtyard, a young man with disheveled hair sat on a chair, drowning himself with a bottle of wine. He has a handsome face. A gloomy aura continued to radiate out from his body as if he had long since given up on himself. He was the genius of the Yang Clan, Yang Chen.

"Gulps!" Yang Chen drank the wine straight from the bottle as if he was drinking water. After he was defeated by Luo Kun, he never stepped out of his courtyard again. Drinking was the only way for him to relieve himself of all the pain and depression. If not for his sister, Yang Mengli, he would have probably killed himself a long time ago.

"You should've stopped drinking." Yang Mengli walked into the room as he said. Seeing his younger brother become like this, his heart ached.

Yang Chen put down the wine bottle and glanced at Yang Mengli with his lethargic eyes. He asked, "What brought you here, Brother?"

Yang Mengli did not immediately reply. He carefully put up a barrier to prevent any sound from leaking and sat down across from Yang Chen.

"I found a way to repair your Blood Vessels. You gotta come with me out tonight." Yang Mengli said calmly.

Yang Chen was stunned. His mind flinched for a moment before he chuckled: "You don't have to lie to me, Big Brother. There is no one in this world who can repair the destroyed Blood Vessels." With that, he gulped down some more wine, he did not believe his words.

Yang Mengli shook his head: "I didn't lie to you. I actually found a miracle doctor."

Yang Chen's hand stopped moving while he stared at Yang Mengli. Upon seeing his serious expression, he put down the bottle and asked doubtfully, "Is that true?"

Yang Mengli smiled and she handed him the maid uniform, "Replace your clothes with this."

...

"Where are you going?" At the entrance of the Yang clan, a guard asked a young girl and a boy in front of him. Both of them wore a cover on their faces.

The girl was none other than Xiao Lingling, and the boy was a Yang Mengli servant. If looked closely, the boy had a figure similar to Yang Chen.

"Young Miss told me to buy something. Is there a problem?" Xiao Lingling replied in a dissatisfied tone.

The guard frowned: "What about him?"

Xiao Lingling was furious: "What's wrong with you? I need him to help me carry things. Do you want me to tell Young Miss to give you an explanation?"

The guard shuddered and shook his head hurriedly: "Ti... No. you can go."

Xiao Lingling went away. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead as he spoke, "Ah ... I forgot my pocket."

He turned around and brought the boy with him back to the Clan. The guard looked at them for a while, he shook his head and muttered, "This girl is still as fierce as ever."

Ten minutes later, Xiao Lingling and the boy returned and passed through the gate while the guards did not bother to look at them for fear of provoking his anger again. However, because of this, he failed to sense any strange changes in the two. 'Xiao Lingling' seemed to be slightly taller than before.

...

Yun Lintian finished his sumptuous dinner in the dining room of the Autumn Wind Inn and returned to the room afterward. Today, he had spent a lot of energy inside to deal with the patients. He was quite exhausted and wanted to rest for a while.

"You've worked hard." Yun Meilan appeared in the room and looked at Yun Lintian with a smile under his black veil. He had witnessed everything he had done today and admired his kindness.

Yun Lintian was already used to his behavior coming and going out of nowhere. He replied as he poured two cups of tea for the two of them: "It's nothing." He handed one cup of tea to Yun Meilan and asked, "By the way, Aunt Meilan, I don't really understand. Why is the doctor's level here too low? Today, I find many patients have simple illnesses, but those doctors can't do anything. This is the capital of the country, the doctors here should be quite capable, right? It's too weird."

Yun Meilan drank the tea while listening to Yun Lintian's question. A smile appeared on his lips as he replied, "It's not that their levels are too low, but rather that your levels are too high."

After hearing this, Yun Lintian slightly frowned ... Yeah, maybe that's true. So, not because the skills of the doctors were too low but I myself had the wrong common sense. No wonder the sect sister looked at me as if I was a monster every time I did the treatment. He thinks in his heart.

Yun Meilan continued, "You rarely go out of the Sect. It's normal for you to think that way. In the Sect, your mother and the others rarely tell you about the information of the outside world because they want you to live without burden."

"I have always objected to this matter because it will hurt you in the future, but your mother insisted on doing this. You probably won't believe what your mother told me before we came here."

Yun Lintian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did he say to you, Aunt Meilan?"

Yun Meilan laughed slightly: "He told me to prevent you from asking for any information. However, after I saw your activities for these two days. I found out that I should let you do it ... When you first bribed the city gatekeeper to distract him and get a little information out of his mouth. I was quite surprised at how smart you were. The reason why you ask him where the best inn is and who the owner is is because whoever controls the inn will likely have a lot of information at their disposal. Therefore, I think your first plan is to approach the Hua clan."

Yun Meilan looked at Yun Lintian. He said further, "Instead of going to the Inn directly, you chose a relatively small and popular inn. Coincidentally, you heard something about the young masters of the Yang clan, and they happened to possess the Heavenly Yin Iron. As a result, you changed your original plan and chose to set up a treatment kiosk in the end ... I have to say, your luck is too good. Everything seems to fit into your plan easily."

Yun Lintian drank the tea and shrugged lightly to Yun Meilan, confirming his conjecture. Just when Yun Lintian was about to say something, Yun Meilan suddenly frowned and said, "Your target has arrived." He stood up and disappeared from his place.
