Chapter 1408 The Scourge

"Has Zheng Sanniang reviewed it?" Elder Ping inquired. If Zheng Sanniang knew about it, then the matter would not be a big problem.

"This..." Wang Wu thought carefully. It seemed he had not shown it to Lady Zheng, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"If Sanniang hasn't reviewed it, you dare to give it to the Young Sect Master to eat. You are so bold!"

"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die." Wang Wu was so scared that his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"You indeed deserve to die..."

"Enough! What a big deal, is it worth making such a fuss?" Yue Ran interrupted Elder Ping. "Bring the medicine and food in."

"Young Sect Master, this medicine should be sent for testing first to see if it is poisonous. A cook actually made medicine for the Young Sect Master. Someone, go and arrest this person..."

"You dare!" Yue Ran was instantly enraged. "If you dare to touch her, I will make you regret it!"

Elder Ping was somewhat confused by Yue Ran's sudden anger, and he immediately explained, "Young Sect Master, medicine is something..."

"Bring it here!" Yue Ran extended his hand. If he hadn't been trapped within the barrier, he would have wanted to beat Elder Ping. The medicine his second brother painstakingly made for him could not be wasted.

Elder Ping's brows furrowed into the character '川'. In front of Yue Ran, he flipped the bowl over. The bowl of medicinal soup was poured onto the ground. Yue Ran's expression twisted for a moment!

"Ping Xuan, you dare to overturn my medicine!"

"Young Sect Master, this person dares to secretly make medicine for you behind Sanniangzi's back. I must investigate this person. If this person has malicious intentions, as your teaching elder, I will surely punish this person."

"If you dare to hurt her by a single hair, I will tear down the Divine Martial Hall!" Yue Ran slammed his fist against the barrier. "Elder Ping, I mean what I say."

Elder Ping's brows furrowed even deeper. He grabbed Wang Wu and carried the food box towards the small canteen. He wanted to see who this person was, who dared to instigate the Young Sect Master. This was simply a heinous crime!

When Elder Ping arrived at the small kitchen, only a night watchman was left. Seeing Elder Ping approaching with someone, holding Wang Wu, he quickly went to report to Lady Zheng.

Lady Zheng had just gone to bed. Hearing that Elder Ping was coming with Wang Wu, she got up again, suppressing a belly full of anger, to greet them.

Wang Wu was directly thrown to the ground, grimacing in pain but not daring to make a sound. He curled up on the ground, not daring to move.

Lady Zheng sneered upon seeing this, "Elder Ping has quite some authority."

"Sanniang, your subordinate went to give medicine to the Young Sect Master in the middle of the night. What explanation do you have?"

"Give medicine?" A flicker of confusion flashed in Lady Zheng's eyes. "Is the Young Sect Master injured?"

"The Young Sect Master is undergoing punishment and is not injured. That is why I need to ask Sanniang. Under your jurisdiction, someone secretly made medicine and sent it to the Young Sect Master, and you kept it from me. Can I suspect this person of intending to harm the Young Sect Master?"

Lady Zheng grabbed Wang Wu and pulled him up. "You went to give medicine to the Young Sect Master?"

Wang Wu timidly nodded. "Who sent you?"

Wang Wu's gaze turned towards Xiao Man's room. Xiao Man had been tired for most of the night and had already slept. After returning from the main kitchen, she was worried that Yue Ran's body would not withstand the medicinal effects, so she brewed a bowl of medicine and had someone deliver it. She never expected it to cause trouble.

Lady Zheng gnashed her teeth in annoyance. This brat! She had repeatedly forbidden her from acting rashly, yet she was still acting rashly right under her nose. Who was the Young Sect Master? Any medicine that entered his mouth had to be tested by a specialist before it could be delivered!

"Elder Ping, please calm your anger. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Sanniang, this is a serious matter. I must take this person away for thorough investigation." After speaking, Elder Ping walked towards the room Wang Wu had looked at, kicked the door open, intending to teach this person a lesson first. He struck out with his palm towards the person lying on the bed, but instead, he hit the barrier and was bounced back, falling miserably into the courtyard.

Lady Zheng's expression was rather peculiar. Elder Ping quickly got up. "Seal it off, do not let anyone escape!"

Lady Zheng took a step forward. "Elder Ping, is there perhaps some misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? He attacked this elder!" Elder Ping was furious. However, there was no movement from inside the room. With such a commotion, and no reaction from the person inside, it left everyone bewildered.

Lady Zheng pondered for a moment, then entered the room and lit a lamp. Xiao Man was sleeping soundly. The reason she slept soundly was because she had set up a formation to block out all sound. Even if the heavens and earth were turned upside down outside, it would not disturb her sleep.

Lady Zheng looked at Elder Ping, who had entered a step behind her. "Perhaps we should wait until she wakes up to ask?"

Elder Ping took the lamp from Lady Zheng's hand and leaned closer. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Xiao Qin!"

Lady Zheng was surprised. "Elder Ping knows her?"

Elder Ping's expression was extremely strange. No wonder the Young Sect Master couldn't get out. So she had come to Heavenly Sword Sect. But how did this brat escape from the demons? And enter Heavenly Sword Sect as a handyman?

Elder Ping patted the barrier. It was stable and unmoving. Even though he was a Nascent Soul expert, he couldn't break Xiao Man's barrier. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, unable to be swallowed or spat out. A menace!

"Elder Ping, who is this Xiao Qin?"

Elder Ping shot a glare at the Third Young Master, then turned and signaled for his men to leave. "Tomorrow morning, have her make another bowl of medicine and send it to the Young Sect Master."

Lady Zheng was completely baffled by Elder Ping. In the middle of the night, you drag my subordinate to the small kitchen, and then you leave leisurely. What kind of logic is this?

"Lady Zheng, who is this Xiao Qin?"

"A cook who specifically prepares food for the Young Sect Master," Lady Zheng said dryly. In her opinion, Xiao Man was just a cook who specially prepared food for the Young Sect Master. As for why Elder Ping changed his mind after seeing her, who knew!

Yue Xia glanced at the still sleeping Xiao Man and curved her lips into a smile. "Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Farewell, Third Young Master."

Lady Zheng watched Yue Xia leave, then looked at the sweetly sleeping Xiao Man and couldn't help but sigh. "Troublemakers, they only cause me trouble!" Su Dan Novel Network

"Lady Zheng, what do we do now?"

"What can we do? Go back to sleep! Don't you think there are enough troubles? Fortunately, you encountered Elder Ping. Anyone else, and you would have lost your life! Xiao Qin is new and doesn't know the rules, but you don't know them either?" Lady Zheng glared at Wang Wu and turned to go back to her room to sleep.

When Xiao Man woke up the next morning, she found her door was missing. She immediately removed the barrier. She was too tired last night and really didn't want to be disturbed, so she had set up a barrier. She never expected thieves to come without her knowing!

"Where did my door go?"

"I had someone take it down!" Lady Zheng yelled impatiently, holding a large iron ladle. "You don't need a door when you sleep. The firewood in the kitchen is not enough, so I had someone chop it up for firewood!"
