"What did you just say? You have another one?" I felt a sudden pressure raining down on me. I could feel the intent to kill coming from Cai Yian. He was just waiting to pounce.
"You better say that you don't, you twerp. Or, I will completely annihilate you." I heard his voice in my head, but couldn't see his lips move.
I shook my head and sighed.
"I came all the way here to help, and it seems like I am not wanted here. This Cai Yian is threatening to kill me like I am some guy that he can push over. Maybe he is forgetting the fact that I am still the young master of the Liu Family. Do you really think that your family would survive an all out war with the Liu Family when your matriarch is down under? And to think that I came all the way here to help out." I said as I glanced at the man who was angry at Cai Yian. He seemed to be the one who wanted to really help the matriarch out.
He also locked eyes with me, and understood what I was talking about.
"If you give us the Cloud Suppression pill, then I can guarantee that you will leave with your life. Once mother recovers, no one will be able to say anything at all. Just help us out, and I will give you what Lien'er promised." he said.
"I don't know who you are, but I am not going to do anything until Cai Yian and this other dude who came with this proposal are out of this room. I do not trust them at all. Especially after one of them is clearly showing his killing intent in front of everyone." I said out loud.
"You are an interesting boy. When I heard about the idiot young master who that boy in the Liu Family took in, I thought that it was just a pity. It turns out that a tiger's son is a tiger, who just took too much time to grow up. Yian. Get out of the room. I may be weak right now, but I am still the strongest here. Do not dare make a move on this boy. You will not be able to handle the consequences." the old lady said with a weak voice.
"But mother!" Cai Yian looked surprised.
"Get out! Do you think that I don't know what is happening here? Mark my words. If this goes on, then I will make sure that Cai Yanlin will never have a chance to become the patriarch!" she barked.
The blood drained from Cai Yian's face. I could understand what was happening right now. This was another family fight, and they were dragging me in.
"This guy is Cai Yanlin's father? No wonder. Both of them are rotten to the core. I think I understand where he got it from." I realized as I locked eyes with Cai Yian just as he was leaving. He glared at me with fury. If looks could kill, I would be dead already.
The middle aged man behind also left behind Cai Yian, with a similar expression. I wondered why he was so disappointed though. Well, Cai Lien was a beauty, so he must have wanted his friend's son to get betrothed to her, but Cai Yian was the one who was supposed to win here.
"Now that both of them are out of here, please tell me that you have the cloud suppression pill. Atleast tell me that you can make another one, or know the person who can make another one." the other man in the room looked at me with pleading eyes.
I glanced at him with my mind eye.
"Cai Duan. Must be Cai Lien's father. He is the only one who stood up for her side of the argument." I thought as I smiled.
"Did you not hear what I said before. Almost every pot that is synthesized comes with more than one pill. And obviously, I have another one. But the deal that I talked about with Cai Lien meant that I only had to give one to you. Cai Yian crushed that and trampled on my face. You better have a good explanation for this. I came here because I was requested to. I do not care about your stupid family feud. All I want is my guarantee, plus a little more information." I said.
"Cai Lien promised that the Cai Family would not go against the Liu Family in a power struggle, was it not? I have the authority to say yes to that. I shall approve it." the matriarch said.
"Forgive me for saying this, but a simple word will not be enough. I want a written document so that you have your own face to think about twice when you even have a thought about reneging on your word." I said.
"You are cautious. You are nothing like what Lien'er said. All she had to say about you were horrible things, but I find none of them to be true. Very well. If this cloud suppression pill works, then I will indeed do whatever you want me to. But what is the other thing that you wanted? What information do you want?" she asked.
"The Cai family has roots in the capital, does it not? I heard that the Cai family is a branch of another Cai family that is within the royal capital. That means that you are privy to some information there as well." I asked.
"Yes. We are from the imperial capital. What information is it that you want from there? We can probably get it for you." she said.
"Tell me about me. Who is my real father, and why is my life in danger?"
