nThe gates loomed at me. High up in the sky towering over me like Mount Tai. I didn’t know why I felt that way. I never saw Mount Tai, but I felt it as the closest point to the heavens itself.

nI had a mask and a cloak over me. I did not want to show my presence as Liu Feng to everyone. With the martial gathering, everyone in the city knew who I was. I glanced at the guards. They looked at me with suspicion, which was to be expected. Who wouldn’t be suspicious of a man with a mask and a cloak?

nI stepped up to them.

n“I am here at the request of Young Lady Cai Lien. She requested a pill from me.” I said.

n“You wish. Do you really think that we wouldn’t know the alchemists of the city. Just go back home and stop trying to meet our young lady.” the guard scoffed while the other laughed at me.

n“She did tell me that she needed the pill by the end of the month. What would happen if the one person who brought the pill was denied entry? I wonder what would happen to whoever stopped that person from entering. And besides, not everyone has one of these cards.” I flashed the VIP card of the Shianxi Auction house.

n“You are a VIP member of the Shianxi Auction House? I will inform the young lady of your arrival. But if it turns out that you were deceiving me, then I can sense your cultivation level. I will murder you.” he snarled at me.

n“There is no need for that. He is with me. There is no need to hide your identity, Liu Feng. I am sure that no one here will attack you when you are my guest.” I heard Cai Lien’s voice behind me.

n“How do these people always come behind me all the time? It is kind of creepy.” I grumbled as I turned around. Cai Lien and her body guard, the arrogant young man at the auction house were standing side by side.

n“That is not guaranteed enough, but it looks like everyone already knows my identity now, so there is no need to cover my face.” I sighed as I took out my mask and cloak.

n“Do you have the pill ready?” she asked.

nI threw a jade box towards her. I then glanced at the young man next to her.

nHis stats were unclear, but his name was as clear as day.

n“Looks like he is not from the Cai family. Bu Kong? No wonder he did not participate in the martial gathering. But, he is in the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, which is respectable.” I noted.

n“This is indeed, the Cloud Suppressing Pill. I am astonished. How were you able to complete this pill within just a week? Who did you study under?” she asked me.

n“While some things like my identity are known to some, others are destined to remain a mystery. Now, will I be coming in and accepting your family’s hospitality, or will I be turned away at the gate, forced to stand here?” I asked.

n“Forgive us, Young master. Please, come in.” Cai Lien nodded at the guards. They opened the gates and bowed to her.

nWe entered the estate. This place was different from the Liu Family’s manor. There were fewer trees, but all the trees that did exist were at the borders. They seemed to be trying to block out the view from the outside.

n“They are called the mysterious Cai family. No one really understands how the family works, and who is the leader. Well, the top leaders of the city know, but the general populous doesn’t.” I shrugged as I told myself.

n“At this point, I must tell you that you are not allowed to tell anyone about what you have seen inside. If you do, then you and your family will become eternal enemies of the Cai family.” Cai Lien said.

n“That is certainly threatening to think about. But what am I going to see here that is supposed to be kept a secret. And one thing that has been bugging me since the beginning was how the hell were you able to use the skill that you lost the bidding for in the auction? Some old lady bought it right? How did you get your hands on it?” I asked.

n“Don’t you dare call my grandmother some old lady! And she is the reason that you are here.” Cai Lien snapped at me.

n“I wonder who she fought, for her to require an antidote to a very specific snake poison,” I asked.

n“At least you are more experienced than the dozens of alchemists that we brought to get their help. The best that we got was that this pill had to be consumed by the end of the month. The main family is busy and cannot afford to get an alchemist for a branch family. We are forced to look for one on our own.” Cai Lien gnashed her teeth.

n“Now why would I want to know the workings of another family? Just get this pill to her, and she should be okay. I think that after that, I would like a word with her and confirmation that no one is attacking the Liu family any time soon.” I said.

n“As long as whatever you gave her works, then you will be our esteemed guest.” Cai Lien said.

n“I just refined a pill. You gave me the ingredients and the recipe. There is nothing wrong with the pill, but if there is something wrong with the diagnosis, then it is your fault. Not mine. Just remember that when you give her the pill, alright?” I said.
