Chapter 12

In the room, Dongfang Xiuzhe lay flat on a soft bed, surrounded by a group of people.

Lin Yazi sat by the bed, his expression serious, busy with his work, pinching the philtrum, flipping the eyelids, and taking the pulse... The more he examined, the more surprised he became.

"Uncle Lin, how is my son?" Xie Qiuping clutched her clothes, her expression extremely haggard.

Lin Yazi did not speak, for the young master's condition was very strange, leaving him at a loss for how to explain it.

Lin Yazi could not understand why, after being thrown to the ground by that woman, the young master had not a single bruise on his body, not even a bump on his head, which was truly bizarre.

Even an adult, if subjected to such a collision, would have some marks, but the young master was completely unharmed.

If the young master was fine, he would not be unconscious, which was truly strange!

At this moment, Dongfang Long pushed the door open from outside and quickly walked to the bedside, his face full of concern as he asked, "Military Advisor, how is my son?"

"The young master's current condition..."

Before Lin Yazi could finish his sentence, Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly opened his mouth, and on his tongue was a small red pill.

"Huh, what is that?" Dongfang Long immediately noticed the pill.

Not just him, everyone by the bed saw it, a small red pill that was particularly noticeable.

Lin Yazi's brows furrowed again, and he carefully took the pill from the young master's mouth and placed it on a clean teacup saucer.

"Advisor, what is this medicine?" Dongfang Long asked, somewhat alarmed.

Lin Yazi scraped a bit of the pill with his fingernail, sniffed it, then pinched it between his fingers, and finally put down the saucer, his expression grave. "General, it seems someone has been plotting to harm the young master!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked!

"This medicine is called 'Brain Devouring Pill,' produced in 'Tianzhu Country.' It is only effective on children under three years old. The characteristic of this medicine is that it remains dormant for nearly half a year before taking effect. Infants who consume it gradually lose their mental clarity, their brains continuously eroded until they become insane and foolish!" Lin Yazi explained.

"How is my son now?" Dongfang Long, worried and agitated, grabbed Lin Yazi's arm and asked.

"The young master must have been protected by a deity; the medicine was not swallowed. This is truly a stroke of luck in misfortune!" Lin Yazi said, but in his heart, he had an unresolved question.

The "Brain Devouring Pill" dissolves upon contact with the mouth, so why was it still intact in the young master's mouth?

Strange! Very strange!

In the end, Lin Yazi could only regard this as a miracle!

Dongfang Xiuzhe, lying on the bed, heard Lin Yazi's words clearly. He never thought that the demoness would be so vicious, trying to turn him into an idiot. It seems the punishment I gave her was too light!

Dongfang Xiuzhe was fortunate that his studies in Yin-Yang and Five Elements had reached a certain level; otherwise, he would have been deceived by Cui Meiling, the demoness.

"Strength is the only standard for survival, and it seems this is true indeed!"

He had only been born for a short time, first almost being kidnapped, and now almost being drugged. It seems he really needs to have some strength!

With this realization, Dongfang Xiuzhe decided not to just practice "Inner Dao" magic but also to cultivate "Outer Dao" divine skills.

"Yes, that's settled!"

In this world full of dangers, having more skills is never a bad thing!

"General, the young master has woken up!" the maidservant Xiaocui shouted.

Dongfang Long and Lin Yazi turned around at the same time and indeed saw Dongfang Xiuzhe open his eyes. It seemed to them, perhaps it was just their imagination, that his eyes were brighter and more spirited than before!

In the hall, most of the other guests had already left, only Dongfang Tianba, Dongfang Bao, and Cui Meiling remained.

At this moment, Dongfang Tianba was still scolding Dongfang Bao. Just then, Dongfang Long walked in with a dark face.

Dongfang Tianba's heart tightened for no reason. Seeing his adopted son's face so grim, could it be that the little grandson's condition was not good?

"You damn fool, causing such a big disaster, wait and see how I deal with you!" Dongfang Tianba scolded in a fit of rage.

Then he walked up to Dongfang Long and asked, "How is the little grandson?"

Dongfang Long retracted the murderous look he had directed at Dongfang Bao and Cui Meiling and replied, "There is no major issue for now!"

"That's good, that's good!" Dongfang Tianba inwardly recited "Amitabha," relieved that the situation had not become irreparable.

He was about to say a few words of comfort when Dongfang Long suddenly shouted, "Cui Meiling, you venomous woman, do you recognize this thing in my hand?"

Saying this, he opened his palm to reveal the pill taken from Dongfang Xiuzhe's mouth.

Seeing this, Cui Meiling was stunned, her face as pale as paper!

"What is this?" Dongfang Tianba asked, a bit confused.

"This medicine is called 'Brain Devouring Pill'..."

Dongfang Long spoke with righteous indignation, his anger burning fiercely in his heart.

At this, even Dongfang Tianba's face changed. How could such a vicious medicine be in his little grandson's mouth? Who could have done this?

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. The medicine dissolves upon contact with the mouth; I clearly put it in the infant's mouth..." Cui Meiling's voice suddenly stopped, realizing she had let slip.

A cold laugh suddenly came from Dongfang Long's mouth. He had been worried that this woman would deny it, but now the evidence was clear, and she had admitted it herself.

"No... it's not like that!" Cui Meiling tried to argue, but it was too late.

"Guards!" With Dongfang Long's shout, over twenty guards rushed in.

"Take this woman out and execute her!" He pointed at Cui Meiling and ordered.

"No—You can't do this!" Cui Meiling acted like a madwoman, thrashing and pleading, "You said you would let me go, you can't go back on your word!"

"Take her out!" Dongfang Long showed no mercy; he now hated this woman to the core.

"Father, save me!" Cui Meiling begged Dongfang Tianba, but it was useless; several guards had already firmly held her and dragged her out.

"Husband, save me!" Cui Meiling turned to Dongfang Bao, but he ignored her.

In times of great danger, even birds of the same forest fly apart!

"Dongfang Bao, you scoundrel, if it weren't for your instigation to poison Dongfang Long's son, I wouldn't be in this situation. You ungrateful wretch..." Cui Meiling was dragged out, but Dongfang Long called her back with a command.

"Who did you say instigated you?"

Dongfang Long's eyes were like torches, staring at the terrified Cui Meiling, his killing intent directed at Dongfang Bao.
