Seeing Yao Baoer having the Medicine Saint completely under her control, Ye Cangtian smiled inwardly. He coughed lightly and stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Ahem, Bao'er, that's your grandfather. Don't you even understand the respect for elders?"
As his voice fell, Yao Bao'er immediately lowered her head and muttered softly: I tried to help you, but you turned around and lectured me…
Her murmuring was very quiet, but Ye Cangtian's perception was too sharp, and he heard every word without missing a single one.
"Hmph! Say that again so I can hear you?"
The gloomy voice came, and Yao Bao'er's expression instantly changed. She quickly bowed to her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, I apologize. My attitude was improper…"
She knew Ye Cangtian too well. If she were to say it again, she would be in serious trouble, so the best approach was to admit her mistake as he suggested.
"Kid, if you threaten her again, don't blame me for being impolite…"
The Medicine Saint stepped forward, but before he could finish, he was scared back by Yao Bao'er's sharp gaze.
For a moment, it seemed to be caught in a vicious cycle.
"Heh heh…"
Just then, a burst of laughter came.
It was Dongfang Mingyue on the bed. After the poison in her body was removed, she had also woken up. She then witnessed the amusing scene of one thing conquering another.
She really couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Upon Dongfang Mingyue's awakening, Ye Cangtian paid no attention to anything else and directly went to her side, asking nervously, "Sister Mingyue, how are you feeling?"
"Much better, just a bit weak."
"You brat, why are you back? Have you finished dealing with the matters outside? Did it go smoothly?"
Dongfang Mingyue responded and then started asking questions. Her greatest concern was the situation with the Bright Hall.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Everything went very smoothly. Guangyu has ascended to the Heavenly Realm, the Pope is dead, and I've also taken care of the Grand Guest Elder and the Second Guest Elder of the inner hall…"
Listening to Ye Cangtian's brief account, Dongfang Mingyue's spirits immediately lifted.
Especially when she heard that the outer hall was now controlled by Nancy, and the inner hall was controlled by An Qiluo.
With these two being on their side, Dongfang Mingyue was so excited that she could have cheered.
This outcome had exceeded expectations and was the most perfect result possible.
She believed that for a long time to come, the Chinese faction could maintain peace with the Bright Hall.
And without the influence of the Bright Hall, the Hidden Organization could focus all its efforts on its own development and benefit the people of the Chinese ruins.
"Oh, right."
Just as Dongfang Mingyue was getting excited, Ye Cangtian remembered something else and said, "I've ordered the guards outside the entrance to the ruins to be withdrawn."
"Oh, withdraw them if they want."
Dongfang Mingyue responded subconsciously, but then her eyes widened, and she said, "You brat, what did you say? You withdrew the guards? Are you crazy?"
Dongfang Mingyue had the same thoughts as Bai Zhenshan and the others had before. Therefore, upon hearing such a thing, she immediately exploded.
"Don't get agitated, listen to me…"
Ye Cangtian began to explain simply. Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's expression gradually ease, he continued, "Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. These elites who have been through countless battles, if used elsewhere, will undoubtedly be infinitely powerful…"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian stated that he was going to deal with the Dragon Taming Villa next.
And given his relationship with the Hidden Organization, it was very likely to cause trouble for them. This was another reason why he had recalled the troops.
After hearing Ye Cangtian's explanation, Dongfang Mingyue slowly nodded and said, "You did the right thing. It was my narrow-mindedness."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Ye Cangtian interrupted Dongfang Mingyue and changed the subject, "Sister Mingyue, what's going on with you? Did the Five Poisons Sect poison you?"
"Yes, I was careless."
Dongfang Mingyue responded and slowly explained the situation.
Although Chen Yi was already dead, there were still his remnants within the Hidden Organization. These remnants colluded with the Five Poisons Sect, approached her, and poisoned her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's expression turned cold, and he asked, "Sister Mingyue, have those remnants been found?"
Dongfang Mingyue slowly shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. I fell unconscious after being poisoned, and I haven't investigated yet! And during my unconscious period, I don't know what happened…"
"Bao'er, do you know anything about this situation?"
Yao Bao'er, who was by the side, heard this and her face turned red. She immediately lowered her head.
She had been busy trying to detoxify Dongfang Mingyue all this time and didn't have the inclination to manage these matters.
Seeing Yao Bao'er's reaction, Ye Cangtian understood everything. He sighed helplessly, realizing that he would have to inquire with Hao Tian about this matter.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian looked at Dongfang Mingyue and said, "Sister Mingyue, please recuperate well. Don't worry about this matter; I will give you an explanation."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded. Ye Cangtian's capabilities were beyond doubt.
Whether it was investigating this matter or acting as the interim leader of the Hidden Organization, Ye Cangtian was more than capable and didn't need her to worry.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian changed the subject and said, "By the way, there's another matter I need to discuss with you. I've brought all the combat members of the Death Squad here…"
Hmm?
Dongfang Mingyue's eyes flickered, and she asked, "You mean they've agreed to join the Hidden Organization?"
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Yes, they've all agreed. So, I'll trouble Sister Mingyue to train them in the future…"
"That's not a problem!"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately smiled. Although there were only a few combat members in the Death Squad, each of them had their own strengths and possessed excellent talent.
If they were trained and developed within the Hidden Organization, it would greatly enhance the combat strength of the organization.
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue agree, Ye Cangtian said, "Sister Mingyue, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave first."
With that, Ye Cangtian turned around and walked towards the door.
Watching Ye Cangtian's departing back, Dongfang Mingyue smiled slightly and said helplessly, "They always say that older sisters take care of younger brothers, but now I have to rely on my younger brother to take care of me. It's so embarrassing!
But then again, having such a younger brother is quite nice…"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, who had just left the room, had a heartwarming smile on his face, but he didn't linger. He headed directly towards the Hall of Righteousness.
…
Hall of Righteousness.
When Hao Tian saw Ye Cangtian return, a smile instantly appeared on his face. "Kid, you're back."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then sat down opposite Hao Tian and said, "Senior, I've come today to inquire about something. Have you found out anything about Sister Mingyue's poisoning?"
"I knew you'd come to ask me, but even if you didn't, I would have sought you out."
Hao Tian smiled and continued, "We've made some progress regarding Mingyue's poisoning…"
Hao Tian stated that he had narrowed down the scope of people colluding with the Five Poisons Sect and had finally identified three individuals.
Two of them were cooks, Cai Yong and Kang Shan.
The other was a guard who delivered food, Ding Quan.
Only these three could approach Dongfang Mingyue's meals; others had no possibility.
Identifying the three was simple, but distinguishing which of them had colluded with the Five Poisons Sect was still difficult to say.
The reason was simple: these three were all veterans, having served in their positions for at least over a decade. In all these years, they had never shown any errors.
And Hao Tian had no evidence, so he could only continue to search for evidence secretly without alerting them.
This was also why Hao Tian had wanted to find Ye Cangtian earlier.
He was simply unable to handle it. Hearing that Ye Cangtian had returned, he wanted to hand this matter over to him.
After all, if Ye Cangtian could even resolve the issue of the Hidden Organization's traitor, then this small matter was nothing!
Listening to Hao Tian's words, Ye Cangtian directly agreed and said, "Alright, I'll take care of this matter. Senior, please send me the information on these three individuals first. I'll study it carefully when I get back."
"No problem!"
Hao Tian agreed and immediately ordered the information of the three individuals to be brought to Ye Cangtian.
After receiving the information on the three, Ye Cangtian got up, preparing to leave.
Just then, Hao Tian's voice sounded again.
"There's something you probably don't know yet."
Hmm?
Ye Cangtian stopped and turned to look at Hao Tian, asking, "What is it?"
Hao Tian smiled slightly and said, "Qingfeng Hall. You have made many contributions to China, your strength has reached the Heavenly level, and your house was destroyed. Therefore, after internal discussions, we have decided to let you reside in Qingfeng Hall!"
