Chapter 252: A Letter from the Yin Elders (2)

Rong Yi remembered its name and put it down. As long as he went into the hall, Rong Su shouted excitedly, “Little master Tao, little master Tao, senior Lei Sai is back. Your master shifu is back!”

Rong Yi picked his brows.

On hearing that, Yin Tao, who was playing in the backyard, ran in with great excitement, “Master shifu, master shifu, you are back!”

Lei Sai held up Yin Tao who ran over at him, laughing, “My little disciple, did you miss me?”

“Yes, I miss you so so much!” Having not seen Lei Sai for a long time, of course little Yin Tao missed him, holding his shoulders tightly.

Rong Yi who was standing by the door of the hall, “You are back right in time. You can teach little Cherry refining magic weapons then.”

Lei Sai looked over to Rong Yi, his smile froze a bit without a trace, and then became bigger, “Isn’t little Yin Tao supposed to go to school?”

“Your lord said he doesn’t have to recently.” Rong Yi then said to Wen Chuan who was pouring tea, “Uncle Wen, you go to the backyard and see if there’s any spare room for Lei Sai.”

Rong Su said, “Young master, when we moved in, we already saved one for him.”

Rong Yi nodded, “That’s great. Then I’m going back for some rest.”

“Wait…” Seeing Rong Yi was leaving, Lei Sai hurriedly stopped him, “Young master, wait.”

Rong Yi turned back at him, “What?”

Lei Sai took out a letter hesitantly, “Before I came back, the old lady asked me to bring this letter to you.”

On hearing it was a letter from the old lady, Rong Yi immediately wore a big smile, “So my mother-in-law wrote me a letter?”

Lei Sai nodded, “Yeah, it’s from the old lady.”

Rong Yi walked before him. Instead of taking it with his hand, he directly slipped it in his storage ring, “I’ll read it after I go back to my room. You guys chat.”

Seeing he was leaving again, Lei Sai hurriedly called him, “Young master…”

Rong Yi turned back again, “Anything else?”

Lei Sai wanted to say something but finally gave up, only saying, “Say hello to the lord for me.”

“OK.” Rong Yi then went to the yard of him and Yin Jinye’s. Seeing that Yin Jinye was meditating, Rong Yi just sat in the chair, waiting for him.

It was not until noon did Yin Jinye open his eyes, while Rong Yi also happened to finished refining the magic weapons.

After putting away the Octagon furnace Jiang Mu sent him into the storage ring, Rong Yi took out the letter Lei Sai gave him.

Seeing the words “Rong Yi Only” with familiar handwriting, Yin Jinye asked, “My mother wrote you a letter?”

“Hmm. She asked Lei Sai to send it to me.” After taking a sip of his tea, Rong Yi continued, “You opened it for me and see what your mother has written in it.”

“Any problem with it?” Yin Jinye knew Rong Yi wouldn’t let him open it for him if there was nothing wrong.

“I don’t know. But before Lei Sai came, an evil beast told me that those elders specially sent someone to deal with me.”

Yin Jinye suddenly narrowed his eyes.

“Those elders think that he could let us lower our guard and get rid of me easily. So they threatened Lei Sai using his family, and then let Lei Sai bring little Cherry and Yin Sensen back to Yin Family. This letter is not from the old lady at all, but that the elders asked someone to imitate your mother’s handwriting, and then sprinkled with a few drops of poison that even those experienced alchemists wouldn’t notice. As long as someone with low cultivation touches it, one would die slowly within a month like catching a heavy disease. No one would notice that person is poisoned. The thing is there is no antidote to this kind of poison. I heard it from a little evil beast. I don’t know whether it is true or not, because I didn’t open the letter.”

Rong Yi had never left Rong Mansion recently, and the whole mansion had set a formation around. The elders totally stood no chance. So they could only let someone sneak into their mansion. And Lei Sai was the best choice. After all Lei Sai had served Yin Jinye before, no one would suspect him.

Yin Jinye then quickly picked up the letter, went into the yard and opened it.

Rong Yi hurriedly put down the teacup, and said urgently, “Hey, how could you just open it like that? Though the evil beast said it only works on one with low cultivation, he didn’t say one with high cultivation would be totally fine after touching it.”

Just now he asked Yin Jinye open it only wanting to tell Yin Jinye there was something wrong with the letter.

“Don’t come close.” Yin Jinye quickly leafed through the letter, “It’s really the same as my mother’s handwriting. But looking carefully, I can still tell it’s not from my mother.”

It was only some trivial matters in life in the letter.

“If so, Guihong…I mean what the little evil beast said is true.” Rong Yi felt lucky that he had set up the information chamber before the New Year. Otherwise, if he opened the letter as long as Lei Sai gave it to him, he would have gotten killed by those old men.

On thinking of that, he couldn’t help frowning. Since they could use Lei Sai, they could also use any servant in the mansion to set him up. Really hard to defend!

Yin Jinye then called, “Yin Yan, come.”

On hearing Yin Jinye was calling him, Yin Yan instantly came into their room.

Yin Jinye then handed the letter to him, “You check the letter if it is poisoned.”

Yin Yan hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief, and took the letter using it covering his hand. Except some faint ink smell, nothing else, or no other color.

But since the lord told him to check it, there should be something with the letter.

Yin Yan held it against the sky and immediately found a little problem, “This paper is a bit thicker than what we usually use.”

He took out a little knife and was about to cut it open.

Yin Jinye said, “Wait.”

Yin Yan showed a bit doubt under his eyes, “What’s wrong?”

“You cut it out of the house.”

Though Yin Yan had no idea why Yin Jinye told him to do so, he still walked out of the house as he was told.

Rong Yi asked, “Why did you ask him out? Are you worried there might be some kind of powder? After it’s dispersed, there’d be residual left in the house, which could poison me?”

Yin Jinye nodded, “Those elders are too crafty. Before they let Lei Sai send the letter, they would have thought of numerous outcomes. Like they might have anticipated you wouldn’t open the letter yourself, so they would have some backup plan.”

Rong Yi, “…”

He should really be more cautious in the future.

After about fifteen minutes, Yin Yan came back.

Rong Yi saw that he changed a new robe.

Yin Jinye said to Yin Jinye, “There is poison inside the letter. Whether on its surface or the inside. Oh right, young master Rong, did you touch the letter?”

Rong Yi shook his head.

“What about the envelope? Did you touch it?”

“No, I knew there’s poison in it. So I dare not touch it.”

Yin Yan heaved a long sigh, “That’s great. If you touched it, you’d be in trouble.”

Rong Yi asked him, “Is it that one would low cultivation could not touch it? It only works on one with low cultivation like me, right?”
