"Oh, alright boy. You can tell me. What is it?" Granny Lie asked again.
"Granny Lie, something bad has happened to Yun'er. So, she will not be here for some time. In my role as the husband of the floral lady of this nation, I think it is my duty to officially inform you of this issue. " Joey said.
"Hah! What has happened to Yun'er?" Granny Lie stood up and asked worriedly.
"Granny Lie, calm down first. Nothing will happen to my Yun'er." Joey hold her hand and made her sit back on the chair.
He then started telling him the whole story while skipping some parts about his Heavenly Corruption Pagoda and Ai Long.
"She is fine for now." He ended his story.
"Yuwen Tai, that bastard. I will kill him. " Granny Lie screamed and punched at the table beside her.
Bang!
The wooden table exploded, turned into dust particles, and settled on the ground soon.
"Granny Lie, please cool down. Even though you may have brought her up and considered her to be your daughter. But, now she belongs to me. I am her husband. So, I will kill that bastard myself."
"You are right. Boy, she already belongs to you. If you can't even kill him, then you don't deserve her." Granny Lie responded with a firm tone.
"Granny Lie, I came to ask you about another matter. Do you know the location of the Three Thousand Poisons Sect? " Joey asked.
"Boy, there is a rumor that the Three Thousand Poisons Sect lies in the Hundred Valleys of Poison. But, I don't exactly know their location." Granny Lie replied.
---------------------------------------
Hall of Alchemy Union, Main Headquarter, The Seven Star Sect,
Inside a room, an old man with a pair of long white brows and a long white mustache was concocting a tier-8 pill.
He had been trying to concoct that particular pill for more than a week. But he kept failing all the time. Now, some of his white brows and white mustache had some burnt marks on them.
He kept experimenting from one trial to another without giving up. His hair and clothes were messy and untidy. Now, he looked like a beggar on the streets. If someone met him now, they will never believe that this old man was the famous and the only Tier-8 Alchemist Grand-master in the whole Central Continent. He was the Chief of the Hall of the Alchemy Union, Jugge Huan.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Tch, tch! Another Cauldron has exploded just like that. What is the problem this time?" He asked himself. Then, he took out a piece of paper and started writing down all the details of his observation until the cauldron exploded. And he started thinking about the source of the problem.
His stubborn nature in concocting pills brought him to his current position as Chief.
Just as he was about to start the trial again, a green hooded man appeared suddenly inside the room, knelt before him, and politely said, "Chief, Joey is here. If you are busy right now, then I will instruct someone to make him wait in the Guest room."
Jugge Huan kept the cauldron back and responded, "Nope, I will go and meet him right now."
"Ah! I seem to have forgotten about my current state. I can't meet a junior in this unkempt state of mine. Otherwise, he will look down on this old man." He checked on his shirt and pants which were currently filled with holes and burnt marks.
"Hu Ge, go arranged someone capable and entertained the boy. I will come back in 10 minutes." Jugge Huan instructed him and rushed out of the room.
The man bowed once toward the direction of the Jugge Huan and disappeared from the spot in the thin air.
Inside a room, Joey was currently sitting on a chair beside the window. He was at a loss and looked blankly at the blue sky.
A group of ten beautiful ladies came inside the room. Joey looked at them once. Then he continued gazing at the blue sky once again.
The leader of the group walked toward him and said politely while cupping her hands, "Young Master Joey, I am Lou Suyin and these are my sisters. We are all alchemist apprentices of Chief Jugge Huan. We are sent here to interact and chat with you until our Cheif comes here."
All the other ladies also clapped their hands at him.
"Hello, ladies!" Joey greeted them first and clasped his hands back at them.
"Sister Lou Suyin, thank you for coming here. Can you please bring me some tea? I am kind of thirsty right now." He said politely.
Lou Suyin nodded with a warm smile and rushed out of the room.
"Ladies, please come and have your seats, " Joey said to them with a friendly smile. Then, all of them took their seats.
A few minutes later, Lou Suyin came back with a jug filled with tea.
Then she filled up a cup and passed it at Joey.
Joey sipped his tea on the cup once and kept it back on the table.
"Young Master Joey, how is it?" Lou Suyin asked.
"It is really good. My body feels refreshed just from sipping it once. Ladies, why don't you try it too? " Joey responded and suggested them.
At that time, Jugge Huan rushed inside the room. He was now completely cleaned unlike the moment before.
"Girls, you all can leave now." Jugge Huan ordered them. All the ladies bowed at him slightly and left the room one by one.
"Boy, it is nice seeing you again here. Are you ready to join the Hall of Alchemy Union?" Chief Jugge Huan greeted him with a friendly smile and asked. Then, he took sat on a chair nearby.
"Grandpa Jugge Huan, it's not time yet. Instead, I came here to ask you for a favor. " Joey said with a firm tone.
"Oh, alright. You can tell me. What is it?" Jugge Huan responded while playing with his long white mustache.
"Grandpa Jugge Huan, do you know the exact location of the Three Thousand Poisons Sect?" Joey asked without beating around the bush.
