Chapter 62: Chapter 62 – Exposed Plot

"She's not sick. She's poisoned..."

Huh?

Everyone in the room came out of their trance when they heard Ling Tian's voice.

What had happened?

Who was this young man?

How could he release all that nostalgia as if nothing had happened?

Ling Tian turned away with a smile on his face, as if that sadness coming from him had not existed in the first place.

When they saw his smile, they all thought it was a dream when they felt that depressing feeling from him.

Was what they felt real?

Ling Tian walked over to the bed where Tang Wanying's mother lay, undisturbed by the glances of everyone who was concentrating on him.

"With your permission." Ling Tian spoke softly to Tang Zhi when he gently took her wrist to check how much was damaged inside.

Tang Zhi nodded foolishly while trying to get out of her commotion at the sight of this young man taking her pulse.

Only she could see that his eyes looked faintly red. A sign that he had cried subtly.

Everyone present began to slowly improve their condition as they watched Ling Tian's actions.

Ling Tian released his spiritual sense and verified the current state of Tang Zhi's body in less than a minute.

"Um, Auntie, you have a poison inside your body." Ling Tian spoke again.

He was sure that she was poisoned because, when he entered the room, he inspected the signs on her body just by looking at her.

Her face looked haggard and the volume of her hair seemed to be diminishing, as if at any moment she would be left with no hair on her head. Her fingers and nails were somewhat black. Her skin was completely pale. Her body looked very thin. She was no different from a corpse after death. The only thing that made her look alive was the sparkle in her eyes when she saw her daughter. The immense love could be seen in the depths of her eyes. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be inherited into Tang Wanying's. It would not be strange if behind this horrible sight caused by the poison, there was a beauty similar to Tang Wanying's. She was her mother after all, someone she had to get her beauty from...

What!!!

Everyone was shocked to hear.

The madam of the Tang family, was she poisoned?

Even Tang Zhi was shocked to hear such news.

Wasn't she dying because she was sick?

How did she go from being a disease to a poison?

Before anyone could say anything, an annoying voice was heard.

"You brat, I don't know where you came from, or what you did to fool the young Miss that you are a great master alchemist, but... Mrs. Tang's condition is caused by a disease. She is not poisoned!" Master Hon spoke sombrely with an annoying tone as he explained to Ling Tian. An imperceptible nervous tone was picked up by Ling Tian.

Everyone in the room unconsciously believed what Master Hon had said, so they could not help but look at Ling Tian to ask why he had said such impudence.

Ling Tian stared at Master Hong for a long time. Master Hon also looked back at him, but a slight nervousness and uncertainty could be seen.

The atmosphere became a somewhat cold one.

Ling Tian's gaze turned to icy. Everyone in the room felt a chill over their bodies. Master Hon was worse off. Ling Tian's coldness was directed at him, so it no doubt affected him completely.

Ling Tian turned to look at Tang Nan slightly. Tang Nan somehow managed to catch the meaning in his gaze, moving quickly while calling on the outside guard who had come out earlier, and then blocking the door to the room.

"Do you think that, by hiding the poison in the medicine, I wouldn't realize what you're trying to do?" The voice as cold as the most horrible winter ever, came from Ling Tian's mouth.

Huh?

Poison in medicine?

Everyone turned to see Master Hon.

Master Hon was sweating cold when faced by this young man. His legs were shaking slightly as he tried to keep his posture so as not to be betrayed.

Ling Tian turned to see the box of medicinal plants that he had with him: "The golden plant, when mixed with the imperial plant and the cicada plant and mixing the draignis tail, can become an odorless, colorless and trace-free poison, which can be added to any medicinal liquid and go unnoticed, managing to cancel out the medicinal effects on the body and leave only the effect of the poison. It just takes some time for the effect to emerge, so you should be coming to administer the medicine personally from time to time"

What!!!

Everyone was shocked to hear Ling Tian's explanation.

Master Hon has been poisoning Mrs. Tang all this time?

How could he do such a thing?!

Master Hon was shocked to be discovered like this. How could he discover his perfect plan?!

Soon, Master Hon no longer cared and smiled wickedly, as he pulled out a knife and stabbed towards Tang Zhi's heart.

"Nooo!" Tang Wanying screamed in terror.

Swoosh

Master Hon stopped in mid-air, before he could hurt Tang Zhi.

Ling Tian had seen through him. He knew that such people, once discovered, would do everything possible to achieve their goal.

The moment Master Hon moved, Ling Tian had taken a silver needle from the table beside the bed and thrown it straight at the front of his head, affecting his nerves and rendering him unconscious. Killing him would be the most relieved way for him to die, so he did not want to indulge him.

He moved quickly and held Master Hon's body. He then threw it to the guard who had recently entered.

"He's still alive. Just pull the silver needle out of his forehead and he'll wake up."

Ling Tian turned to see Tang Zhi. His ice-cold gaze was gone and instead, a feeling of gentleness and care welled up in his eyes.

"Don't worry Auntie, I will remove the poison from your body and you will get better. You will still be able to spend many years with your daughter and your family". Ling Tian spoke softly to her while looking lovingly into her eyes, conveying confidence.

In a way, she reminded him of his mother. He could not see her or speak to her indifferently as he did to others. His love for his mother was imprinted deep in his heart, so seeing her state caused him pain. Such a loving mother did not deserve such suffering.

Ling Tian felt a slight pull on his robe. He turned his eyes and realized it was Tang Wanying.

"P-please, Great Master, if you can save my mother I will do anything to repay you!" Tang Wanying spoke firmly with her trembling voice. A hopeful glow could be seen in her beautiful red eyes.

Ling Tian smiled softly while extending his hand and gently wiping the transparent drop of water on the edge of her eye and then wiping away the trail that had left a tear that ran down her cheek without her noticing: "Don't worry, Lady Tang, your mother will be fine... besides, I told you that you could call me big brother... being called 'grand master' is uncomfortable, that's just a superficial title..." Ling Tian nodded affectionately to her and then walked over to Tang Zhi's side while taking a set of silver needles.

Tang Wanying's jade cheeks blushed as she felt such intimate action from Ling Tian. She could not help but wonder if the two of them looked like a couple in the eyes of others.
