"At that point, we were already at a disadvantage. It was a good thing that my disciple knew some martial arts. Because of him, I wasn’t injured...but he was."

"After that, we were injected with some unknown drug. At that point, we didn’t know what happened next."

Elder Chen recounted his experiences.

Everyone knew what happened after.

For the Inner Sect Disciples who have managed to cultivate their spiritual power, the anesthesia is provided by general hospitals was considered to be ineffective.

Yet, the drug that was used against him was completely unfamiliar. He didn’t expect that he’d fall into a very drowsy state in a short period of time. He couldn’t even stay awake!

The drug must’ve been specially developed to anesthetize people with high mental strength and ability. The drugs might have been artificially developed to reach their maximum potential.

However it wouldn’t be enough for them to simply inject them with the drug.

They must’ve been fed something as soon as they fainted. That would’ve explained the tangy and bitter taste of medicine on his tongue the minute he had woken up.

Were they trying to kill him?

Elder Chen rapidly shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore. Instead, he glanced over at Yao Tangwho was standing at the side. "Whose disciple are you?"

He only knew that she was one of their new recruits, but he didn’t know who her teacher was.

Who was lucky to have such a great disciple?Yao Tang was about to speak, but Elder Xuimmediately stepped forward.

"It doesn’t matter who her teacher is. What’s more important is your health. You must go and check if your body has suffered from the drug residue. Take a blood test, even! Maybe we could develop an antidote for it."

"This way, if the disciples were to encounter this in the future, they could defend themselves."

Speaking in a hurry, Elder Xu led him back with a smile.

Elder Chen frowned. There was something off with the environment, but he just couldn’t put his finger on it. Instead of arguing with them, he simply sighed in resignation.

"All right, I’ll go check."

"Great!" Elder Xu waved his hand. "Xiao Liu, take Elder Chento Center Hospital and text us once you’ve arrived."

"Of course, Sir."

Upon waving one last time, the elders heaved a sigh of relief as they watched Elder Chen being led away.

They were just being cautious, that’s all.

With Elder Chen’s character, they all knew that he was interested in taking Yao Tang in as his student as well. It was plausible that he’d soon join their ranks.

Now, he might as well wait till the big announcement!They all shared a look.

Elder Chen was about to walk toward the car when he stopped. That’s right, he still didn’t know who Yao Tang’s teacher was before he could give her a gift!

"By the way, when I buy a gift for Yao Tang and her teacher, who should I address?"

Although Elder Chen had already bought a gift, the earlier incident made him lose it.

He had to buy another one now.

"It’s just a few of us," Elder Xu said. "Your health is far more important! We’ll talk about this later, okay?"

"That’s right, your health is more important."

Elder Li also said.

The last thing he wanted was for her to have another teacher from the Inner Pavilion.

There were already two people who had managed to snatch his disciple’s attention. He wasn’t going to have another elder trying to poach her.

"The Central Hospital you’re heading to isn’t close from here," Elder Wang reminded. "If you don’t go now, I’m afraid you wouldn’t make it in time for dinner."

Elder Chen furrowed his eyebrows.

Yao Tang was about to say who her teachers were when she was interrupted by Elder Xuagain.

"Tangtang, why don’t we go look at the modified car that we’ve brought over? Maybe there’s still some evidence that hasn’t been found."

Slowly nodding, Yao Tang headed to the parking lot.

Deng Hai struggled to hold back his laughter.

Just the sight of their elders’ normally dignified appearance to the childish antics they were resorting to now was definitely one for the books.
