Janger, Bocah, HPC, Ysabel, Lao Qianbei, Sky, you are welcome. Abhay, those are my favorites too, and I used to reread them, but since I am doing translation now, I do not have time to do that. CFT, it's coming. DongBin, Decepticon, any women that Huang Yi described are guaranteed to be beautiful. If she is not beautiful, he would not bother describing her. ycb, but that was a long time ago ... just kidding. I'll fix it. Thanks.

Kou Zhong hastily consoled her; without thinking he blurted out, "Shao Furen please don't worry. My uncle has wandered the Jianghu, he is a divine doctor with miracle hands who has tasted all kinds of herbs; he certainly can … hey …”

Chen Laiman took a step forward to Xu Ziling's side; with deep frown he said, "How much confidence does Doctor Mo have? I have examined Xiao Gongzi's channels; his channels are indeed in a mess, hurried and brief, yet weak. But looking at his appearance, he does not show the slightest sign of poisoning.”

Xu Ziling's hand moved down. Sticking his palm to the bottom of the young master's right foot, he closed his eyes and spoke as if he was in a dream, "This is some kind of strange hot poison, hidden deep inside the inner organs, destroying Xiao Gongzi's vitality. Laofu is 100% confident that this is so.”

In the end the young madam was no longer able to stand; only by holding on to Xu Ziling's shoulder with her delicate hands that she barely managed to stand. Sobbing quietly, she asked, "Can Doctor heal him?”

Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly opened; a divine light flashed, but it died just as quick. Fortunately he had his back against the capable fellow Chen Laiman; otherwise his true nature would have been revealed. "Yixin!” he called in heavy voice, "Press Xiao Gongzi's tianling acupoint for me.”

Kou Zhong secretly mused, ‘There is no such method of treating illness,' but naturally he knew that it was the only way they could expel the poison. Moving to the head of the bed, he placed his left palm on the young master's skull.

Chen Laiman was the first to feel that something was not right. "Does Doctor Ma understand how to circulate qi to expel poison?” he asked doubtfully.

It should be noted that only martial art masters with expertise in internal power who have full control of their own true qi are qualified to transfer the true qi into somebody else's channels without any possibility that something would go awry.

Using true qi to treat other person's injury was substantially more difficult; only those with clear understanding of channels and acupoints would be able to do it. Moreover, using true qi to get rid of poison that was hidden in the five viscera and six bowels and that has become an integral whole with the blood vessels, only first class masters would be able to accomplish.

Chen Laiman knew he did not have such ability; hence he raised the question.

What he did not know was that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's innate true qi came from the ‘Secret to Long Life'. Not only their mastery entirely came from groping around, in itself it was effective to heal their own body and repel poison. Hence the reason Shen Luoyan failed to poison them in the past. Naturally Chen Laiman did not know this fact.

Kou Zhong sent his true qi from the top going down. By the time his true qi converged with Xu Ziling's at the ocean of qi at young master's dantian, Xu Ziling has regained his composure from the young madam's ice-cold little hands on his shoulder. He spoke indifferently, "This is the great method to expel poison handed down from my ancestors, it can eradicate any strange poison. Chen Laoshi please be patient for a moment, you will see the result.”

In order to divert their attention so that they would no longer investigate their origin, Kou Zhong interjected, "Who do you think put the poison?”

The young madam straightened up her tender body and moved away her delicate hands pressing on Xu Ziling's shoulders. She looked at Chen Laiman.

When their eyes met, a look of horror appeared on the two people's faces. It looked like they were about to talk, but stopped short of speaking out what they were thinking in their mind.

Kou Zhong was astute; he did not pursue.

Meanwhile the two boys' cold and hot, two streams of vortex of true qi already took shape. In the blink of an eye it rapidly swept past the young master's entire body.

The young master's entire body, from head to toe, was severely shaken. "Ah!” he suddenly cried out and sat up, opening his big, beautiful eyes.

Kou and Xu, two boys, were also surprised that their poison expelling divine skill was this effective; they looked at each other in astonishment.

The young madam cried out in delight. She threw herself in total abandon to embrace her precious son, who was staring blankly, not knowing what had happened, demonstrating the true love between mother and son.

Xu Ziling felt as if his palm was pricked by millions silver needles, it was numb and painful, so he knew that the poison has been entire absorbed by his palm. ‘Formidable!' he silently cried. After thinking for a moment, he circulated his power to neutralize it.

The two boys stood up to their full height to pull Chen Laiman, who was moved to tears and was prostrating himself in admiration, to the corner by the door.

Kou Zhong said, "Who actually did this evil scheme? Will you need us to help?”

Chen Laiman seemed to have a problem that he could not mention; after hesitating for half a day, he said, "Perhaps he was stung by some kind of poisonous mosquito or poisonous bug. Two gentlemen's great kindness and great benevolence, I, Chen Laiman and Shao Furen, will never forget …”

This moment the young madam carried the young master to the two boys' presence and have him kowtow to express their gratitude for the great kindness, and thus interrupting their conversation.

Hearing the commotion, Sha Fu, Ma Xuran, Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhu burst into the room. Ma Xuran and Xiao Zhu's countenance looked a bit unnatural. When Kou and Xu, two boys noticed this, they started to understand that it was a struggle within the family.

When the young master saw Xiao Zhu, he revealed a frightened look. Hiding his face in his mother's bosom, he pointed at her and cried out, "Niang! Xiao Zhu Jie pricked child with a needle.”

All eyes immediately shot toward Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu's face turned white, an ominous glint flashed through her eyes.

Knowing something was amiss, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, as if unintentionally, shifted their position so that they were standing between Xiao Zhu and the young madam, mother and son.

Letting out a cold snort, Chen Laiman was about to make his move, but Ma Xuran was one step ahead of him; he rushed to pounce on Xiao Zhu, and thus by lucky coincidence blocked Chen Laiman's path.

This moment Xiao Zhu was standing side-by-side with Xiao Feng at the door; seeing Ma Xuran's stretched out hand to grab her, without showing any fear, she calmly, but as fast as lightning, shot out of the door, in full display of her brilliant skill.

One after another Ma Xuran and Chen Laiman chased her out; the sound of wind was getting farther and farther away.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other. With Xiao Zhu's skill, unexpectedly she was willing to lower herself to be a maid, and even poison the young master; it could be deduced that the family of the young madam's husband was not an ordinary rich family or nobility, but it involved something that provoked other people to covet it.

Having just recovered from the shock, Xiao Feng and Sha Fu waited upon the young madam and her child and helped them sitting down on the side. Meanwhile Chen Laiman and Ma Xuran came back empty-handed; evidently Xiao Zhu had successfully fled.

With anger and ashamed expression Chen Laiman came to report, "Laiman is incompetence, I am awaiting Shao Furen's punishment.”

The young madam shook her head and said, "Nobody can anticipate such thing would happen, the blame is not on Chen Laoshi, what punishment are you talking about?”

Seeing Ma Xuran did not show the least bit of shame, Kou Zhong could not help laughing coldly and said, "Just now Ma Laoshi helped Xiao Zhu escaping, what punishment does he deserve?”

As soon as he said that, everybody's countenance changed; the ugliest naturally belonged to Ma Xuran. Murderous intent flashing through his eyes, he glowered at Kou Zhong and said, "What do you mean by saying that?”

Kou Zhong spoke with disdain, "Upright people don't do sneaky things, only despicable people doing that kind of thing while pretending to be upright; you secretly let that wicked scoundrel escaped. Ma Laoshi ought to know Jianghu rules. Since you have the guts to do it, you ought to have the guts to admit it.”

Raising both hands, Ma Xuran gathered his power and said with a cold laugh, "My rule says those who speak out to harm others must die, those who babble nonsense will only provoke disaster. Let me see how much weigh do you, these two Jianghu charlatans, carry?”

Frightened, Sha Fu and Xiao Feng quickly hid on the young madam and the young master's either side. Chen Laiman's heart was moved; without saying anything he stepped in front of the young madam and the others, ready to protect them.

The atmosphere turned tense.

As if he was oblivious that Ma Xuran was about to make his move, Xu Ziling moved his hunch-backed body to block the door, practically cutting off Ma Xuran's escape route in this direction.

At the same time Kou Zhong strode two steps sideways to seal off Ma Xuran's escape route through the cabin window; hence, together with Xu Ziling, he sandwiched Ma Xuran in the middle. He said with a cold laugh, "My rule says that if you can take my three saber strikes, and are willing to kneel down and admit your guilt, then I'll let you go.”

The young madam buried the young master into her bosom, to prevent him from watching the impending battle.

Ma Xuran turned his eyes around in panic, while groaning inwardly. Just by watching how Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling move, their shenfa and footwork had given him a singular feeling that there was no gap at all that he could exploit. Momentarily he was at a loss of what to do. In that blink of an eye he suddenly felt that he had fallen into an inferior position with the enemy in front and behind him. Not to mention there was this Chen Laiman, whose skill was not inferior to his, standing on the side, staring at him like a tiger watching its prey; so how could he fight this battle?

His mind churning wildly, he suddenly lowered his hands and facing the young madam, he said, "Xuran is innocent, would Shao Furen please decide for Xuran?”

Everyone was stunned by his cowardice; they looked at each other in astonishment.

The young madam heaved a deep sigh and said, "How could humble woman make decision on this kind of matter?”

While Ma Xuran's countenance was undergoing huge change, Kou Zhong flashed behind him and jabbed a finger on his back. Ma Xuran was hit and slumped down.

Laughing aloud, Kou Zhong said, "Quickly tie Ma Laoshi down, and then have him tortured well. I guarantee we will find out who is behind this. Humph! Really stupid and cowardly.”

Still hugging her beloved child tightly, the young madam's gaze fell onto Ma Xuran, who was crumpling on the floor. She was about to speak when from the direction of Xiangyang came bursts of shouts.

Everybody was stunned.
