In one of the courtyards named South Garden in the Xiao mansion in the capital, Xiao Yuchuan sat cross-legged in the side room, concentrating on channeling Zhenqi, cultivating internal strength.
For more than five years, he had spent almost all his days researching poisons, practicing martial arts, and expanding his power.
Not a moment was spent idle.
A secret guard used Qinggong to swiftly enter the room without alarming the Xiao mansion guards. He knelt on one knee, "Master, your subordinate has discovered that recently, people from Tianji Pavilion are searching for Thousand-knot Grass."
"Thousand-knot Grass..." Xiao Yuchuan opened his closed eyes, repeating these three words, seemingly deep in thought, "I've searched for her for so long, yet there's no trace of her. Thousand-knot Grass must be... she'll go to Poison King Valley. Pass on the order, tell the people in Poison King Valley to prepare to 'welcome' the VIP."
"As you command."
