After walking for about a few hundred meters, Nie Yin stopped.

He walked along the stone wall on his right and touched a protruding stone before pressing it down.

The stone sank into the stone wall, followed by a rumbling sound from the other side.

Clearly, this was another passageway to another secret chamber.

Nie Yin walked along the passageway and went straight up the brightly lit stairs to a room that looked like a study.

“You’re here.” A gloomy voice sounded, and the person didn’t seem to be surprised by Nie Yin’s appearance.

Nie Yin didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he took a few more steps towards the bright place before straightening his clothes and bowing to the person in front of him with his back facing him. “Greetings, queen!”

“Hmph!” The queen snorted, disdainful of Nie Yin’s insincere display of respect. “You went to take a look?” She had no intention of chatting with Nie Yin anymore and got straight to the point, “When can the ceremony begin?”

A wily smile appeared on Nie Yin’s face. Before the queen could say anything, he sat down on a chair at the side. “We’re still short of a medicinal catalyst.” “Medicine catalyst?” The queen turned around and looked at Nie Yin with displeasure.

The queen seemed to be putting up with Nie Yin’s increasingly rude attitude.

“Without this medicinal catalyst, even with the two ancient spirit beasts around, they won’t be of any use,” Nie Yin said as he took out a small jade ornament and played with it between his fingers.

When she saw the jade accessory, the queen’s expression became even uglier.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked Nie Yin, “Where’s the medicinal catalyst? Hurry up and find it!”

“Don’t be anxious!” Nie Yin pinched the jade ornament, as if he was toying with it, but the smile on his face didn’t fade. “Why don’t you wait a few more days? I’ve already arranged everything. I’ll definitely satisfy you!”

The queen gritted her teeth and had a murderous look on her face.

However, Nie Yin acted as if he didn’t see her killing intent.

He put the jade ornament back in his hand, then stood up and faced the queen. “You must be busy every day, so I won’t stay for much longer.”

“I still have to find that medicinal catalyst, so I’ll take my leave first!”

With that, Nie Yin turned around and walked towards the door without waiting for the queen to respond.

After pushing open the door, Nie Yin walked out of the palace under the gazes of the royal family.

The royal family didn’t seem surprised by Nie Yin’s sudden appearance. His visits already became common in recent months.

After Nie Yin left the royal family and returned to the Nie family’s residence, he went straight to Nie Lin’s courtyard.

It was unknown if it was because of exhaustion or some other reason, but Nie Lin’s health was getting worse, and the poisoning situation was also getting worse.

“Young Master, the First Elder has just fallen asleep.” Nie Lin’s personal servant, Nie Chong, bowed respectfully to Nie Yin, but his body blocked the door, as if he had no intention of letting Nie Yin in.

Nie Yin glanced at the servant. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn’t insist on entering. He only said to the servant behind him, “When the First Elder wakes up, send someone to inform me.”

“Yes!” The servant bowed and accepted the order without delay.

Nie Yin glanced at Nie Chong again before turning to leave.

After walking back to his room, Nie Yin kicked a flower rack beside the door to the ground as soon as he entered.

The servant behind him, Nie Zhong, was startled and jumped out of the door. He didn’t dare to go forward.

His voice trembled as he said, “Young Master, you’re…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nie Yin panted a few times before finally calming down.

“Who does Nie Chong think he is? Ever since he started following the First Elder, he’s no longer able to tell who’s the master and who’s the servant!” Only then did Nie Zhong walk into the room timidly. As he looked at the broken antique vase on the ground, he couldn’t help but feel bitter.

He walked to Nie Yin’s side and poured a cup of hot tea for the angry Nie Yin before saying, “Nie Chong just came from the old residence, so he might not be used to the rules here. Young Master, don’t be angry at him!”

Nie Yin glared at Nie Zhong and scolded, “Those who don’t know better might think that you’re his servant!”

“How many benefits did Nie Chong give you?!”

“No, no!” Nie Zhong waved his hand in denial.. “I was worried that being too angry would hurt your health, so I wanted to comfort you!”
