After flying down from the city wall, Xuan Mingye did not rush back, but went to the bustling red-light district in the city.
At this moment, the entire street was filled with laughter and chatter, and everywhere there were beautiful women, their varying figures creating a unique scene. He glanced at these vulgar beauties, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes. Turning around, he entered the most famous brothel—Peacock Residence—through a side door.
At this moment, Song Tian'er was tending to a special herb. When she saw Xuan Mingye arrive, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly went forward to greet him: "Your Highness, you've arrived!"
"Where is he?" Xuan Mingye didn't even glance at the woman, heading straight for the inner courtyard.
"Young Master is in the study." Song Tian'er replied disappointedly, wanting to follow him in to serve him, but was stopped by a gesture from Xuan Mingye.
In the study, Dongming Huo was looking through some books he had just found in the past few days, hoping to get more information about the poison curse on Xuanming Ye's body. However, he spent the whole day looking through them but found nothing.
Why……
So many years have passed, all the medicines have been used, and many talismans have been drawn, yet the poison curse on that kid's body seems to have taken root and sprouted, stubbornly refusing to be pulled out at all.
Before even entering the room, Xuan Mingye heard Dongming Huo sigh. He knew that over the years, his dear friend had racked his brains for him. The only fault was that the enemy was too powerful; even the Dongming clan's abilities couldn't remove the curse from his body.
Creak!
He pushed open the door and entered, lounging lazily against the bed. He rubbed his temples wearily and said slowly, "Don't always blame yourself like this. This is my fate!"
"Pah! Stop talking nonsense. I promised her I would do it." Dongming Huo threw down the book in his hand. He hated seeing this guy looking dejected.
However, he also knew that this guy would only let down his guard when facing him. Looking at Xuan Mingye's pale face after he took off his mask, he said with some self-reproach, "It's because my skills are not good enough. If it really doesn't work, I'll beg my father to find the clan leader to treat you."
"Absolutely not! That would not only cost your father his life, but it would also bring you a deadly disaster... cough cough... cough cough..." Xuan Mingye said excitedly, then coughed several times, spitting out black blood uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Dongming Huo stepped forward, grabbed Xuanming Ye, and inserted a few needles. After checking his pulse, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "You used your spiritual power again? Didn't I tell you that you can't use it for the next few months? Do you want to be bedridden?"
"It's not that serious. I know my own body well, and with your elixir, I'm sure I won't die." Xuan Mingye said this, but he knew in his heart that Dong Minghuo wasn't trying to scare him. Since being tricked that time, his health had obviously deteriorated a lot, and he would get his revenge sooner or later.
Dongming Huo looked Xuanming Ye up and down, and seeing his absent-minded look, he suddenly leaned over and asked seriously, "Have you met a woman you like?"
Xuan Mingye shuddered. Aside from his mother, he hated any woman near him; he didn't even want a single maidservant by her side while she was alive. Only after her death did he use female assassins to cover his tracks. Raising his eyes, he replied seriously, "I've encountered someone who can easily detect the poison and curse in my body?"
"Really!" Dongming could hardly believe his ears.
