Cheeta: "Please sir here is your seat.", as he pulled a chair for Long Yu to sit on it.
Long Yu:"Many thanks Sir Cheeta, but I am your guest so I do not believe that I should be sitting at the head of the table of your household."
Cheeta: "Please I insist that you sit at the head of the table."
Long Yu:"Thank you for such an honor but I will feel extremely uncomfortable to sit at the head of the dining table as your guest so let me find a seat suitable for me."
Cheeta relented to Long Yu's wish, with a heavy heart as unwillingness clearly shown in his eyes.
After everyone took their seat, Bashista could not help but whisper to Long Yu, "what was that?", as the members of his team leaned closure to hear Long Yu's answer.
Long Yu aka Ryuu: " I Do not know, I just got angry at him and now he is submissive to me, since we entered this trials many things took place, I have to consult my family after everything is over."
The team Shadow Wolves seemed to except Long Yu's answer but inwardly they were curious also tad bit annoyed, at him as everything they asked he gave the same answer, 'I don't know'.
Cheeta introduced everyone present at the table specially the beasts present. Long Yu greeted them with a smile, before his attention was drawn in by the Snake Prince Sakkara, a 2nd rank Wanxiang Adept 'Armored Python', known for their defense which is strong enough to withstand attacks from opponents of entire realm above him, staring creepily at him.
Long Yu: "Is there something you want to ask of me, Prince Sakkara?"
This brought Sakkara out of his stupor, "Ah please forgive my impudence, but I could not help but notice you have the same stench as that traitor 'Yube', and your teammates smell of the blood and guts of her spawn, did you kill her."
Long Yu was confused momentarily about the 'Yube' person then he realized the only person he killed recently was the 'Crowned Viper' and her nest so maybe he was speaking about them, "If you are speaking about the 2nd rank Wanxiang Adept 'Crowned Viper', then you are right we stumbled upon her lair accidently, and it was only because of luck I managed to slay her and escape her lair while killing her off springs. But we used masking powder so how did you find their scent on us."
Sakkara: "How very interesting the stench I smelt was that of her poison, it seemed you were drenched completely by it, poison so strong even my late father would have died because of it, yet here you are still alive, really interesting. The reason I found out, is because of a secret technique of our clan."
Long Yu nodded at that, soon they finished having their meal, and was once again escorted by Cheeta to another room which he dubbed as the war room.
Many beasts as well as humans were present there, who watched Long Yu warily as he walked in with a stoic look on his face, and normally anyone would have called him cute seeing a feminine looking boy with a teddy bear backpack on his back, but his earlier display of power made them wary of him, even if some of them were a few rank above still they were wary of him, and some of them frowned they clearly remembered long Yu was 4th rank Zifu disciple, yet here he was not a single day has passed yet he is 6th rank Zifu disciple, what kind of secrets did the child hid, oh well after the end of the trials when their sect master arrives they will surely capture him and pump out each and every secrets the child held.
The meeting regarding battle tactics went on and on, Long Yu was practically bored he propped his hands on the table while putting his chin on it, while his legs were swaying, he somehow stifled an yawn. The meeting was so boring.
A 3rd rank Wanxiang Adept Human faced centipede named Garaga spoke out in an raspy voice, "I agree with the plan but pulling it off will be difficult, we lack manpower as most of our people are either poisoned or injured, if we could get help from some human alchemists it would have been great but the only one available is a low Xiantain level one who can only bring relief from the pain not cure the poison at all, if only we had a poison master.", he finished with a melancholic voice.
Long Yu perked up at that finally he could do something without sitting here in this boring place.
Long Yu: "Excuse me for speaking out of turn, but I think I might be help here."
At that he gained an undivided attention from everyone present there, while some of them were annoyed at him seeing him acting in such a callous bored manner during the meeting but still maintained a stoic face as the current leaders of the tribes as well as humans beckoned him to speak.
Long Yu although inwardly very nervous kept a calm expression which cannot be seen in any ordinary 7 years, as he spoke out," Well I am a peak Zifu Disciple level alchemist and poison master so i think I might be able to help them."
Rong Niu glanced at the monster in a human child form,' what is this child, now he will say he is even an array master of same rank.', if only she knew.
Cheeta: "Sir Long Yu, then I beseech you to please take a look at the patients, being both a poison master and an alchemist of such an rank there is a high chance you might be able to cure them. Sister if you please."
A younger feminine looking gorilla stepped forward, "This is my younger sister 1st rank Wanxiang Adept, Cheema she will guide you to your patients.", she bowed at everyone before motioning Long Yu to follow her.
Long Yu: "Well then please excuse me.", with that he left the room while inwardly scowling, as of all the many habits he gained from his masters, he gained an intense dislike for half baked knowledge. ''Alchemist' and 'Poison Master', tch yeah right only fools would differentiate them, they are different sides of same coins under the Grand Dao of Alchemy, but because of fools breaking them into two different paths the break and devolve the Grand Dao of Alchemy into two lesser Dao of Alchemy and Poison, it makes his blood boil at the sheer stupidity, because as a result the quality of alchemical products and poisons have fallen drastically. Well he did not have time to brood as he came closer to the place where patients were kept. 'Oh well let's get started.'
