Chapter 70 I'm Just a Painter

"Please, brother, save my son."

"I will do my best. Give me a quiet room and no one is allowed to disturb me." Yin Daoyan ordered.

"I'll send someone to do it right away."

Shen Hongyu did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly ordered the servants to clean the house.

Soon, everyone was led into a spacious courtyard.

"Brother, there are many rooms in this yard. You can stay in any of them. The servants will bring you dinner later. If you need anything, you can just tell the servants. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you." Shen Hongyu said earnestly.

Yin Daoyan naturally knew what Shen Hongyu was going to do, so he nodded and indicated that it was okay.

It wasn't until all the Shen family members had left that Gu Yourong finally asked, "Master Yin, is the Shen family's second son truly poisoned? Who is so bold as to attack Sky Eagle Fort?"

Yin Daoyan nodded, his face solemn, and said, "It is indeed poisoning. Moreover, if a few poisons are removed from this mixture, it will immediately become highly toxic. The poisoned person will not survive for more than half an hour. However, the poisoner chose to add a few more poisons, which neutralized the toxins and turned these strong poisons into slow-acting poisons."

"He did it on purpose."

Mei Weixuan also interrupted.

"Perhaps the poisoner didn't want Shen Xuexin to die so quickly, but had other motives. Zhong Lin, what do you think?"

"Forehead……"

Zhong Lin, who was looking for pastries for Xiao Shitou, looked up with a confused look on his face, not quite understanding why he could be asked about such a thing.

Zhong Lin positioned himself as a painter. As a painter, he would just focus on painting. In his spare time, he would practice martial arts and seek the truth. He didn't want to get involved in these things at all.

These big families sounded dangerous to me, and I, with my small arms and legs and a child, couldn't afford to offend them.

"Brother Mei, I'm just a painter." Zhong Lin said speechlessly.

I'm just a painter, please don't mess with me.

Mei Weixuan was also amused by Zhong Lin's words and said with a smile, "Which painter can cultivate from nothing to the sixth level of Qi and Blood Realm in just three months?"

"Then I'm just a painter who can fight a little bit."

"No problem, tell me your opinion."

Yin Daoyan looked at Zhong Lin with a smile.

Master Yin spoke, and Zhong Lin had no reason to refuse. After a moment's thought, he said, "The Second Young Master of Sky Eagle Fort was poisoned, and it wasn't fatal. I think it wasn't for revenge, but for some other purpose."

"I just said this." Mei Weixuan complained.

Zhong Lin ignored Mei Weixuan's complaints and continued, "The so-called purpose is nothing more than an intertwined interests, either internal, external, or a combination of both. Sky Eagle Fort specializes in raising and training hawks, and has close exchanges of interests with the imperial court, aristocratic families, and sects. A single move can affect the entire system. Unless it's a force outside of Dachen, few would dare to provoke Sky Eagle Fort."

"Why?"

Gu Yourong looked directly at Zhong Lin, his face full of curiosity.

"The Sky Eagle Fort can handle the smaller ones on its own. As for the larger ones, unless the imperial court, the aristocratic families, and the sects obtain the Sky Eagle Fort's secret techniques for raising and training eagles, these three forces will help him deal with them."

"So the storm started from a small source. Is there something wrong inside Sky Eagle Castle?"

Gu Yourong's eyes lit up and he blurted out.

Zhong Lin kept silent and just nodded to some questions.

Yin Daoyan looked at Zhong Lin with a smile on his face, and then said, "Zhong Lin, what do you think I should do?"

“Zhong Lin dared not say more.”

"You can talk about it, I want to hear it too." Zhong Lin bowed and said, "Zhong Lin is so bold, Master Yin, you are just a doctor. A doctor's duty is to treat illnesses and save lives. Other matters have nothing to do with you."

"Then do you know that Shen Hongyu is my good friend?"

"Then you shouldn't interfere. After all, this is someone else's family affair."

"Haha, Zhong Lin, you... are pretty good."

Yin Daoyan laughed heartily, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"Thank you, Master Yin, for the compliment."

"Go back!"

"Yes."

Everyone did not stay any longer and returned to their rooms to rest.

I have been traveling for the past half month and I am very tired.

……

Castle lord's mansion.

Shen Hongyu sat beside the bed and looked quietly at his unconscious second son Shen Xuexin, his expression changing constantly, as if he was weighing something.

"Xue Xin, I named you Xin because I wanted you to be a loyal and trustworthy person, but I didn't expect it would harm you in the end. You are too kind and benevolent, always treating everyone and everything with kindness. You are also the one in Tianying Fort who has the greatest hope of comprehending the Qi and cultivating the inner breath."

"Thus, those despicable and shameless enemies used every possible means to eliminate you, even resorting to poisoning you."

"Don't worry, Dad will never let anything happen to you, and he will definitely give you justice. No matter who it is, they must pay the price."

"Your Uncle Yin is here. With him here, your poison will definitely be cured. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be over. There will be a clean Sky Eagle Castle waiting for you to inherit."

Shen Hongyu took a deep breath and slowly stood up. With sharp eyes and fluttering clothes, he looked like an eagle king who looked down upon the world and everything in the world was at his feet.

As the night deepened, the entire Skyhawk Castle fell silent.

In the dark house, Shen Xuefeng sat there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, but his breathing was a little rapid.

Accompanied by a breeze, a masked black shadow appeared in the empty room. Shen Xuefeng suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

"What do you want from me so urgently?" the masked man asked coldly.

Shen Xuefeng's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice, "Yin Daoyan is here."

"Master of Alchemy and Medicine Yin Daoyan?"

The masked man was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the lord of Tianying Fort actually knew Yin Daoyan from Baicaotang and invited him.

"It's him. I didn't know the old man actually invited him. With Yin Daoyan's ability, he must have discovered that my second brother was poisoned. We must act as soon as possible, otherwise something bad will happen." Shen Xuefeng said sternly.

"No, Yin Daoyan is a second-grade Tongmai realm expert. If he takes action, the situation will be more uncertain."

The masked man refused outright.

Shen Xuefeng said angrily, "Then what do you say we should do? Are you going to let me hand over the position of castle lord to my second brother? I am the eldest son and grandson. Sky Eagle Castle should have been mine. Just because the old man likes the second brother, should I give up what was originally mine?"

"Don't worry, if it's yours, it's definitely yours. With our help, Sky Eagle Castle will definitely be yours. I will report this matter. You keep a close eye on Shen Hongyu and report any movement he makes."

After saying this, the masked man turned into a black shadow and disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

Shen Xuefeng looked coldly at the direction where the black shadow disappeared, a sneer on his lips: "Sky Eagle Fort should have been mine. The old man is not trustworthy, and you are even less trustworthy. You treat me like a fool. I want to see who is the real fool."
