Making appearance.. inside story.

Yusheng who was deep in her thoughts was informed by zhu geng that the person had arrived and now currently in the receiving hall.

She came out of her daze nodding at the good timing of the person appearance. With zhu geng behind her she walked calmly towards the receiving hall taking her sweet time.

While in the receiving hall though served with best tea and snacks the person seemed unable to feel the taste, his heart on his throat. He was too anxious to admire the beauty of the place, finally after what seemed like forever he could hear those light steps.

"Welcome, elder of the sect how was the journey." greeted Yusheng while walking towards the main seat. She analises the man who though was above 50 still had flesh of being on 40, his body posture though humble still emitted aura of strength and pride, years of accumulated knowledge and wisdom clear in his eyes.

Upon hearing Yusheng he hurriedly gave a grand bow "thank you, your lordship. Just a little traveling was nothing to worry about." After taking his seat he too analised the current lord of medicine valley.

Beauty like a goddess rumored in ancient scrolls, posture upright, eyes with great wisdom making one able to see through deep inside others heart, cold aura with hidden yet powerful strength. More composed and dangerous than her predecessors.

After some light chats about each other well beings and common stuff they started the main discussion but left for the pavilion to do so.

At the pavilion amidst the beauty with fresh pot of tea it was the elder who broke the ice "your lordship, first I would like to thank you for your message enabling me to meet you. Shameless though have to accept and bear to take responsibility. As you have hinted, this old man shamelessly hopes for you to helps us with this situation."

Yusheng nods and putting her cup down after taking a sip replies "elder, the current emperor is this lord's friend. Never thought to be poisoned by one of your sects creation.

This lord like my ancestors has no intention of probing in your sect but this time the person effected is under my wing. But this lord also cannot disregard the fact that though not best of friends we are acquaintances from many generations.

Hence elder this lord will give you a chance to explain the matter properly first. If the explaination is proper this lord will definetly have you a leeway to have that mountain green and river clear for many generation to come if not then.. you will only find uprooted mountain with river red."

The elder clearly knew her implication. He was being asked to be honest not to withhold any information or she would have the sect dissapear, along with the people of the sect. He had long prepared thus at this point he no longer hesitated.

"Your lordship, it was 9 years ago that a man around 18 was found in our entrance. He was poisoned with flesh eating pill. He was in a very horrible condition like of a begger having his flesh severely eaten by poison on his arms and legs rendering his movement.

A disciple of mine without informing anyone took him in out of pity. She was one of the inner disciple who had just returned from gathering herbs. But as the conditioned worsened and with her low knowledge she had no way but to heed us to cure him.

At first we decided to have the person thrown out for we were not clear of his circumstances. As we of poison sect have always remained far from matters of outer world.

But there was a thing that made us have second guess even forced us to cure him. He had a mark imprinted on his chest and that mark was used by our mad ancestor as his stamp.

Thinking of the possibility that he may the descendent of the diaciple of mad ancestor unknown to us we cured his poison. After his condition stabled we inquired about the mark.

He told us that his ancestor had served some time to mad ancestor when he was on his quest to find poisonous flowers to experiment on. And for the services mad ancestor had imprinted the stamp as a form of reward to be able to receive help from the sect when needed.

He told us that from then each of the heir had been imprinted the mark as soon as they reached three years old along with the story.

As you have heard mad ancestor have always been eccentric so we too didn't try to verify the truth of the matter. After he was able to walk he shared that his life was in danger from his branch families, so he requested to stay some time in the sect to hide.
