As Yun Lintian's words ca out, Zhou Ling'er went silent imdiately. She now understood what Yun Lintian was trying to convey.
Once Yun Lintian was involved in this matter, the enemy who poisoned her mother would certainly look for him. At that ti, he would be hunted down without a doubt.
Yun Lintian said further. "My words may be rude, but I believe everyone here is aware of it. Even if the Xin Clan wanted to protect , I didn't think you could. So, please forgive , Princess Zhou. I really cannot help you with this matter."
He didn't ntion the Divine Alchemy Association as he believed Zhou Ling'er might have visited the association already and found no solution.
Zhou Ling'er and the others fell silent. They could understand Yun Lintian's stance. After all, no one wanted to unnecessarily be involved in other people's grievances.
Yun Lintian seed to know what Xin Shun and the others would say next. He spoke further. "And even if I have beco a mber of the association, I don't think they can protect either."
His words imdiately left Zhou Ling'er and the others with no way of going further.
A while later, Zhou Ling'er said. "Please forgive for my carelessness and for almost involving Senior Lin in my grievance for no reason. I also have to thank Senior Lin for telling about the Soul Rejuvenating Pill."
"I'll take my leave first. If there's a chance, I would like to invite Senior Lin for a al."
Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said. "I'm sorry about this. I hope Princess Zhou finds a solution soon."
"Thank you for your blessing." Zhou Ling'er said softly and bid farewell.
Watching Zhou Ling'er leave, Xin Shun turned to Yun Lintian and asked in a deep voice. "Is this really the only way to save my sister?"
Yun Lintian took a sip of tea before answering. "There is another way that is manually expelling the poison. However, you need a powerful doctor to do it. This thod is risky and takes a long ti. The patient could lose her life during the process."
Xin Wu couldn't help asking. "Brother Lin. You really don't want to help?"
Yun Lintian looked at him and said. "I think I've said it clearly earlier. I'll be more frank then."
"The poison your aunt has been suffering right now is extrely rare. It required a lot of precious ingredients to make one. Hence, whoever made it must be extrely proficient in the alchemy art. At least this person is not inferior to ."
Xin Wu was stunned.
Yun Lintian said further. "Your aunt is the first concubine of the Great Zhou Emperor, which ans her status is not low. With her status, it is impossible for the Great Zhou Emperor to neglect her safety."
"Let ask you. Who on earth is so capable of bypassing all the guards and successfully poisoning her?"
As his voice fell, those younger generations of the Xin Clan in the hall and Xin Wu imdiately had bewildered expressions on their faces. They better jump into a river to kill themselves if they still didn't understand this.
Obviously, the one who hard Xin Wu's aunt was an insider.
Yun Lintian let out a soft sigh. "As you can see, I am just a weak practitioner. Once I am involved in this, I should also prepare a coffin for myself."
Xin Wu went silent imdiately. As much as he wanted to help his aunt, he naturally didn't want to harm Yun Lintian.
"It could only be this way." Xin Wu sighed helplessly after a short silence. "By the way, is it possible to ask President Zhi about the Soul Rejuvenating Pill? He should have…"
Xin Bo interrupted his son. "That is a Divine King rank pill you're talking about. A single piece of it can easily cause a bloodbath here. Even if the Divine Alchemy Association is powerful, they don't necessarily have this."
Silence blanketed the hall once again.
Xin Shun waved his hand and said. "We will talk about this later."
He turned to look at Yun Lintian. "You can live here at ease, Little Lin. If you need anything, just tell the servants directly."
"Thank you for understanding , Uncle Xin." Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said politely.
Xin Shun shook his head and said. "You've already helped us a lot. At least we know what pill we need to find now. This saved a lot of detours."
"Then, I'll go back first. Thank you for the al." Yun Lintian said with a faint smile and left the hall with Ning Yue.
After Yun Lintian left, Xin Bo waved his hand to activate the isolating formation and said solemnly. "Do not talk about this matter outside."
"Understood." Everyone in the hall responded readily.
"Father, could it be…?" Xin Wu asked in doubt.
Xin Shun said calmly. "Do not speculate without a solid clue."
"Once she died, there are many people who get benefits." Xin Bo said with a frown. "This is difficult to find the real culprit."
Everyone in the hall frowned deeply. No matter how hard they racked their brains up, they couldn't co up with a solution to this problem.
Xin Shun waved his hand and said. "Go back first. I'll visit the palace later."
***
After returning to the courtyard, Yun Lintian looked left and right for a mont and began to set up so formations around the place. Although it was unlikely that soone would attack him here, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Ten minutes later, Yun Lintian returned to the living room and poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing Ning Yue's tangled expression, Yun Lintian asked with a smile. "You want to know who the culprit is?"
Ning Yue nodded gently.
Yun Lintian replied as he had already activated the isolating formation. "It's hard to tell. Whoever gets the most benefits from the death of Xin Wu's aunt is likely to be the culprit. And this person should have a lot of power inside the palace. It can be the queen or the emperor himself."
Ning Yue tilted her head with a frown between her brows. She didn't quite understand this.
Yun Lintian patted her head gently and said. "Silly girl. There's no need to think about it. It's not our business. Let's take a good rest first. We will leave tomorrow."
Ning Yue reluctantly nodded and returned to her room.
Yun Lintian glanced at the moon through the window and muttered to himself. "I hope you guys don't ss with . Otherwise…"
