The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

“Go on, I will visit your second brother later. He has already been in prison for a month and it’s time to release him.” Gong Qiang smiled.

Gong Huiyu didn’t dare to say another word but retreated from the room, still trembling.

Only after the doors closed did Gong Huiyu finally straighten his body. But his handsome face was still pale and drenched in sweat. He continued staring paralyzed at the closed doors for a while before finally recollecting his senses. Quietly, he wiped off his sweat and turned in the other rooms direction in the building.

After climbing up two floors, Gong Huiyu stopped before a huge metal door. Two men garbed in black were standing outside. Seeing Gong Huiyu’s approach, they immediately greeted him. “Third young master.”

Gong Huiyu nodded. He was derisive as usual, but his face just a tad more pallid.

“Father wants me to visit fourth mistress.”

The men in black took out a key and opened the heavy metal door.

That metal door was half a meter thick and a terrible stench emanated from the room the moment it opened. Gong Huiyu frowned but remained silent. He walked into the pitch-black room.

The room was dark, lit only by the faint moonlight coming through the two windows sealed shut by two thick metal grilles.

Gong Huiyu glanced about the dim room before letting his gaze fall upon a small figure in the corner.

He didn’t immediately go over but just inched forward a little before coming to a halt.

“Fourth sister, I am here to visit you.”

There was total silence in the darkness. The figure squatting in the corner remained motionless, as if she didn’t hear Gong Huiyu’s words.

But Gong Huiyu didn’t feel that there was anything wrong. He just went on as if everything was per normal. “I went to Fu Guang City earlier and there was a new ruler there. Do you still remember Fu Guang City? When we were young… second brother and I often brought you there. It was under Meng Fusheng’s control, but now… it no longer belongs to him.”

Gong Huiyu spoke casually as if he was just having an idle conversation.

“That new ruler is a young teenage girl. She doesn’t look like much, maybe about the same age as sixth sister, just 15 to 16 years of age… but not as pretty. She has a pair of bright and intelligent eyes though. She was so arrogant… my legs were shattered by her, it still hurts…”

Gong Huiyu continued yammering, but that figure in the darkness remained unresponsive.

Gong Huiyu could only hear his own voice in the growing darkness. Under the moonlight coming through the grilled-up windows, Gong Huiyu suddenly frowned as he clenched his fists.

“I failed… fourth sister… do you think… father will feel I am very useless? Would he… would he also change me?”

There was still no response.

As if he finally had enough of this one-sided conversation, Gong Huiyu suddenly turned and lit a torch in the room with a flint.

The firelight dispelled the darkness and unveiled the room to Gong Huiyu.

A bestial howl resonated from behind Gong Huiyu the moment the light shone all over!

A twisted smile appeared on Gong Huiyu’s face when he heard that sound.
