The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 997 - 1001: Eternal Old Taoist

Jie Kong’s mind was buzzing. As he looked at Mo Shu’s flower-like smile, under the moonlight, it appeared to be veiled in a layer of silver.

She was astonishingly beautiful, unlike any woman of the mortal world! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Jie Kong paused momentarily and then forced himself to look away, speaking coldly: "Don’t say such things again in the future, especially in front of men!"

After speaking, he angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

Although he appeared to leave in a huff, Ji Nan unexpectedly saw a hint of retreat in the domineering figure of his back.

Jie Kong walked swiftly, while behind him, the laughter of the master and servant duo along with the two young children grew more rampant.

Outrageous, simply outrageous!

Jie Kong deeply felt mocked, but strangely, he wasn’t as angry as he had imagined.

Unconsciously, Jie Kong found himself back in his courtyard.

His subordinates were people he was accustomed to using from before, and Sun Qing had arranged everything well.

Everyone greeted him with utmost respect and obeyed his commands without question.

And yet, Jie Kong felt something was lacking.

It seemed to be... lacking some liveliness.

He constantly felt a bit empty...

Feeling irritable, Jie Kong returned to his study. As soon as he opened the door, he detected the sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

The osmanthus cake and osmanthus soup he had knocked over earlier in the afternoon had been cleaned up, but the osmanthus aroma in the air lingered, unwilling to dissipate.

It seemed to lack a hint of the milk fragrance.

The tingling on his tongue from being scalded was still there, and the taste of the milk osmanthus ice cream also lingered.

Not bad, all not bad.

Jie Kong suddenly felt even more annoyed and called Sun Qing in.

Sun Qing stood there nervously, respectfully saying: "My lord."

Jie Kong glanced at him, making Sun Qing feel even more uneasy.

Jie Kong asked, "Have you found any clues on the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

Sun Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Gosh.

So he just wanted to ask about this. Why didn’t he say so earlier!

He nearly scared him to death!

Sun Qing quickly said: "Reporting to my lord, I have already dispatched people to post notices everywhere. If any information about the Eternal Old Taoist is found, we will surely bring him here."

Jie Kong felt slightly relieved and said: "Are you certain that person can detoxify me?"

Besides the poison that had abolished his martial arts in the past, there was another extremely rare slow-acting poison in his body.

The doctor last time could remove the residual toxins hindering his ability to channel energy, but had no solution for this unknown poison.

Sun Qing immediately replied: "The Eternal Old Taoist has traveled widely and has broad knowledge. Even if he can’t detoxify, he can surely identify the strange poison affecting my lord. It would be much easier to detoxify afterward!"

"That’s good," Jie Kong’s eyes were cold. "Last time I asked you to investigate Yu Su’s whereabouts. Did you learn anything?"

"Well," Sun Qing said, "I’ve investigated. The Eldest Prince has always been in the Capital and often spends nights drinking outside. He has never been to Moyan Country. I surmise that the person involved with Princess Mo is not the Eldest Prince. Besides, the Second Prince is known to fear his wife. The Second Prince Consort’s family holds significant power. The Second Prince wouldn’t dare leave home for such a long duration, especially knowing that traveling from Liehuo to the Capital City and then to Moyan Country Capital even by fast horse would take five days and nights. The round trip would take at least half a month. The Second Prince wouldn’t dare to be away for that long, moreover, he is often seen accompanying the Second Prince Consort on walks as she prepares to give birth."
