The Fallen Consort

Elder Jun and the Old Steward arrived in the main hall, where Chief Guan was staying. Chief Guan is a middle-aged man, 2nd rank of Emergent Stage. Although Red Phoenix is located at the edge of the High-rank Kingdom, it still shouldn't be underestimated.

"Chief Guan! Elder Jun and I requests an audience." the Old Steward yelled outside the door.

"Enter.."

The two entered immediately and clasped their fist towards the Chief.

"What's the commotion? Why are your faces like that?" Chief Guan was sitting on the middle of the hall. He was currently reading the reports of the Pavilion's Businesses.

"Chief Guan, it is like this.." Old Steward recalled what happened to the Chief and handed him the bottle.

"Is this true?" Chief looked at Elder Jun.

"Yes Chief. I implore you to take a look at this concoction. Even I would be able to find it hard to concoct it. Even though this is only a Nascent Stage Advancement Concoction, who knows if the Young Master Yi had different ones?" Elder Jun gulped. He was curious about the Genius Young Master Yi. He was already at the peak of 7th Rank Nascent Stage at a very young age! Plus, he was an alchemist as well! It was pure talent!

Chief Guan was unable to respond. He instantly uncorked the bottle and the same strong herbal scent permeated the air, as well as the strong spiritual energy.

"This.. This..." Chief Guan's body froze. He had used a similar concoction before, but this one is more powerful. He could tell that it was more effective than what he had taken before!

"Call the Young Masters here immediately! I must speak to them!" Chief Guan yelled at the Old Steward.

"Yes Chief!" Old Steward bowed and ran as quick as he could.

Elder Jun sat down on an empty chair. Chief Guan was still eyeing the concoction in his hand.

Meanwhile, Yi Ling was yawning. She was still tired from cultivating. Since she just had gotten her breakthrough this morning, she didn't have time to rest. She did ate before roaming around the Kingdom.

She eyed her son and Qianru, they were currently chatting and surprisingly getting along well. Too bad that Qianru is already dead, she would've match well with her son. She thought.

A minute later, the Old Steward came back.

"Young Masters, Chief Guan requests your audience in the main hall." he clasped his fist. Since the woman was standing behind Young Master Yi, he had ȧssumed that she was his attendant.

"En. Lead the way." Yi Ling got up and got out of the room. She stretched her back as she walked, she was still constantly yawning.

"Master, Would you like me to get you something take a rest after we are done here? I will prepare your bath." Qianru had noticed how her Master was constantly yawning. The Old Steward was in front of them.

"En. That would be good." Yi Ling nodded.

"Big brother, if its not too much to ask. Can you prepare a carriage? Have our horses pull it, I don't want to get rid of them." Yi Ling asked her son, she could only address so since the Old Steward was close by.

"Carriage? Are we leaving tonight?" Minzhe looked at his mother.

"En. We have stayed here for too long. We need to keep going." Yi Ling said.

Minzhe only nodded. Not long after, they arrived at the main hall.

"Chief Guan, The Young Masters are here." The Old Steward announced.

"Enter." Chief Guan yelled back.

"Please, this way." The Old Steward gestured them in.

"En." Yi Ling first came in, followed by Qianru and Minzhe.
