821 Testing
Seeing that Elder Chen had returned so quickly, the other Elders appeared surprised. They didn’t expect him to be here this early. “Elder Chen, you’re back!”
“What happened?”
The String Pavilion didn’t give you a hard time, right? Is it Elder Huang again?”
“I knew it! The Elders of the String Pavilion aren’t good people,” one of them spat before sighing. “But they did help us, so maybe we shouldn’t be as angry with them as we were.”
The elders discussed one after the other, sighing.
If Elder Chen went over to thank him, then it was best that they didn’t pursue this matter. After all, they were still indebted to the String Pavilion, right?
With all their questions coming one after the other, Elder Chen yanked the gifts from his assistant’s arms and placed them on the table. The loud bang echoed across the room. “They weren’t the ones who sent my disciple’s location.”
He wouldn’t have given them these gifts if he knew.
After hearing Elder Chen’s words, the Elders furrowed their eyebrows.
So the String Pavilion wasn’t the one behind this?
Then who was? The Elders tried to think for a while, but even they couldn’t put their finger on a specific person. In the end, they just stopped thinking about it. After all, no matter who sent the news, it must be someone who wanted to be on good terms with the Cabinet.
If they didn’t show themselves now, they would certainly reveal themselves in the future.
They’d find out soon.
“Maybe we’ll know in the future.”
Elder Li stroke his beard.
Elder Xu nodded in agreement.
Fine. Forget it.
After Yao Tang had left the Inner Pavilion, she went straight to the hotel suite where President Tan and his son were currently staying. At that time, President Tan was still lying on his bed with his eyes closed.
When he saw Yao Tang coming over, he scrambled back up.
“Sweet girl, you’re here.”
The girl nodded in greeting before hurrying over to his side and placing her fingers on top of his wrists.
Today was the first time he had awakened his spiritual power, so it was natural for his body to be a bit weak. That was fine. He’d feel better after he had slept.
With this, Yao Tang took a bottle of pills from her bag.
“Take this twice a day, okay? Make sure to drink it down with warm water.”
When Tan Jian saw the bottle in her hands, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. He didn’t expect her to have a few medicine bottles in her bag.
She looked like a doctor with the way she was advising him!
“Alright,” President Tan said.
Tan Jian slowly took the bottle from her hands. The Emerald bottle gleamed under the artificial light. Even if he wasn’t much of an expert, he knew that this bottle must be expensive.
The pills inside were brown in color, and one could smell its weird scent from a mile away.
“How’s the Inner Pavilion? Were Elder Chen and his disciple rescued?” President Tan asked.
Knowing that she was here by his side made him feel more at ease.
He had always felt that the people from the Green Cloud Pavilion weren’t easy to deal with.
Those people were extremely shameless!
“They’re all back, but one of them has been seriously injured.”
Yao Tang briefly explained the situation, and President Tan’s eyes widened. They didn’t expect it to transpire like this.
“I have to go,” she then said as soon as she was finished explaining. “Make sure to take the medicine okay?”
Once she had left, Tan Jian uncorked the medicine bottle.
In an instant, he could smell the fragrance wafting from the medicine bottle. It was quite distinct, but it didn’t smell horrible like any other medicine he had seen. In fact, it smelled quite nice.
“Dad, it’s better if you don’t take this yet. I’ll get my friend to check the ingredients first, okay?” Tan Jian slowly said. “If everything’s good, you can take it then.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Yao Tang, but he just thought that she was too young.
Not only did she have strong mental power, but his physical strength was better than many professional bodyguards. Could it be that her medical skills were that powerful? He just had to make sure.
After all, if a mistake were to happen, the results would be irredeemable.
He needed to be careful.
Naturally, he believed that Yao Tang wouldn’t harm President Tan. It’s just that mistakes can happen, and he’s simply trying to minimize the risks.
