The Unknown Beauty 144 The Drug 3

"Yeah, we all are," said Peng Ai.

Meiying looked at everyone with tears. "I know I won't experience that anymore because I can feel the genuine kindness and joy you all try to express. But in the back of my mind, I can't help but doubt that it would happen again, which is why I was scared to tell you guys about myself."

"It's okay to doubt us. All we have to do is prove to you, that we are worth it," said Lin Yu Yan in confidence.

They were all touched by her words. Lin Yu Yan has saved them merely with words before and she keeps on doing it. They really can't help but want to stay with her even more but know that it won't last long as they all have their own journeys to continue on living.

"Thank you, Yu Yan," said Meiying in happiness.

They all finished their breakfast before it got cold. Lin Yu Yan had an extra serving and Han Bingwen got a little worried about her health since he noticed it.

They all head over to Lin Yu Yan's room as it was the biggest room they were able to get and reserve it specifically for her. She was pretty upset with it but she fell asleep yesterday and had to accept it.

"So… I'm guessing the drug is now… successful?" Han Bingwen said first.

"Based on the current events… yes," said Meiying.

"How's the sea snake, Peng Ai?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

"He's doing quite fine," said Peng Ai as she shows her arm and the snake is wrapped around her, clam and at peace. "But what worries me the most is that mark on the needle. It has the Quan clan symbol," said Peng Ai. She was the one who pulled it out of the snake when they were still in the forest.

Lin Yu Yan grabbed the needle from her s.p.a.ce ring and showed it to everyone in the room.

"What kind of herbs was used in the drug, Meiying?" asked Xie Rong inspecting the needle.

"I don't know. I just remembered it was a pink powder. I was researching for information but wasn't able to find what this pink powder was. I only know the some of the herbs used but he must of changed it," said Meiying.

"There are a couple of herbs that can dye the drug red or pink," said Lin Yu Yan. 'Quan Su Wen should have information about that right?'

"I can smell some blood on it," said Kenzhi examining the needle.

"What? Blood?" said Xie Rong. He looked at it and gave it a whiff but he got no scent.

"It smells like Quan Su Wen's blood," said Kenzhi.

"It does…" said Lin Yu yan also sensing it. 'I can feel the qi used in it too.'

"I never noticed it because I was around Quan Su Wen. And I think I know the reason why," said Lin Yu Yan.

It's something only Lin Yu Yan and Quan Su Wen discussed with each other, so only Lin Yu Yan knows among her group what the situation was.

"Yu Yan... I need to take him down. I can't allow him to hurt other people anymore," said Meiying, looking straight at Lin Yu Yan to let her know she was determine to take down the man she wasn't able to before.

Lin Yu Yan looked into her eyes. "Are you sure that's what you want to do?"

Meiying didn't wavered and said, "Yes. I think I know how to stop him. And… I need to know if she is still alive."

"Then do so. If you need help, come ask me!" said Lin Yu Yan, smiling.

"Yu Yan…. thanks," said Meiying.

"No problem. Xie Rong, Wu Lang, You need to find your family too, right? Get going. I'm sorry to delay the search," said Lin Yu Yan.

"I'll get going," said Xie Rong.

"Thanks, Sister Yu Yan," said Wu Lang.

"You should also hurry and finish your royal duties, w.a.n.g Ping. I'm sure your brothers needs all the help he can get. Oh and also remember to look for that sister of yours," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Right. But I have to stay a little longer because they are throwing a banquet in honor of the alliance between the w.a.n.g and Chu Empire in 2 days," said w.a.n.g Ping.

"Now get going. I will try to find out more about that drug. No one else look into it. It seems a tad dangerous," said Lin Yu Yan.

"But why are you looking into it, Sister Yu Yan?" said Han Mingli in concern.

"I should be fine. My body is immune to poisons and drugs, which is why my body can heal itself and faster then normal," said Lin Yu Yan.

----------

"Wait… then what about the old scars you used to have? How come they didn't heal and you had to live with them," asked Han Bingwen.

Lin Yu Yan and and the Han brothers are together checking out the marketplace. Only Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan are wearing masks in the city to cover their faces from getting any attention.

Lin Yu Yan had her hair tied in a beautiful bun and is wearing a baby blue outfit. The outfit is what usual commoner wear here but it still doesn't hide her curves and her natural beauty.

Han Jingju and Han Mingli are looking at for some of there own things and left Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen alone. While Lin Yu Yan was checking out some spices with Han Bingwen when he asked the question.

"I didn't start cultivating as a child. I actually started a few days before I first met you. I had an incurable sickness that makes me unable to use my spiritual energy. I was was shot by an arrow laced with poison. I didn't have the right herbs in hand to cure is fast enough but had another rare poison.

It was risky for me to do that to my own body, to fight poison with poison, but it worked out in the end. Not only that, it also destroyed my sickness," said Lin Yu Yan.
