"I feel the same way," asked Lin Yu Yan.

"As we were exiting the Chu Palace, we heard Minister Quan talking about about Lady Lin's daughter among his servants and guards. But we couldn't get anymore information because he notice we were in the area," said Wang Ping.

"Apparently, I look like this Lady Lin. The unfortunate fact is that Lady Lin really could've been my mother," said Lin Yu Yan. 'Damn, I should of chosen a different distraction.'

"I went around the city to gather information this morning and a lot of people here adored Lady Lin. Actually, everyone here in Feng City does," said Wu Lang.

"Sigh… I have to wear my mask even here…" said Lin Yu Yan in annoyance.

"Sister Yu Yan, I went and checked out a few sketchy places last night as we were looking for you..." said Wei Ru, changing the subject.

The food came in and Wei Ru waited for the waiters to finish in bringing food before saying anything else.

"There was an area… that I couldn't enter," said Wei Ru finishing his sentence. His eyebrows crossed from just remembering the memory.

"Why can't you enter?" asked Wu Lang.

"It's more like I won't enter. The air... didn't feel right. It kind of smelled like… fear. Weird as it sounds, the smell brought fear to me," said Wei Ru.

Everyone listened carefully. Meiying looked at him and remembered something from her past that she experienced before she became a slave.

"Did it kind of smell like the sea snake we encountered in the Unknown Forest?" asked Meiying.

Everyone looked at Meiying in confusion. 'Why did she bring up that?'

"Now that you mention it… yes," said Wei Ru.

Meiying already knew the answer of who has been experimenting on spiritual beast. She looked down thinking if she should say it.

"What is it, Meiying?" questioned Lin Yu Yan.

She looked up at Lin Yu Yan and sighed, "I think I know the person who planted that drug in the sea snake."

"You do!?" said Peng Ai.

Everyone stopped eating and listened to what Meiying had to say.

"Drug?" Lin Yu Yan said in confusion.

"Yes. It's a drug. I believe that man used to belong in the Medical Sect. but was kicked out and banned from entering into any branch because of the experiment he was conducting. The drug he has been making speeds the process of a one's growth in power. But it reduces ones life span. The drug is mainly called Drug X because there is no name for an experimental drug still in the making," said Meiying.

"Is it okay if I asked… how did you know?" questioned Lin Yu Yan.

"I don't want to tell you… but it's best for you to know why this man is still here. Sigh... I was an orphan. I have no Idea where I came from. I have no idea who my parents are. I was taken cared by the village doctor in my home town. She was an amazing doctor who would cure as many people as she can. She was a great teacher and like a mother to me. She was the one who taught me the basics about medicine and how to use plants and herbs and mostly how to preserve them. The village I grew up in was a very poor village be we lived happily together.

One day, a man who no one knows of, was found at the entrance of the village. The doctor took him in and healed him up. He said he lost his memories and we decided to let him live with us until he gains them back.

I started noticing they their time together often and can see in my teacher's eyes, that she has fallen in love with him. He was a very charming and kind man and they soon became the couple that everyone admired in my village. Until… I started noticing my teacher and that man was… doing very suspicious things behind my back," said Meiying.

Some of the men's faces turn red thinking it was something indecent going on. Meiying notice their changed expressions. Her face went red from realizing the words she spoke was giving them a misunderstanding.

"No! It's not what you are thinking of, you perverts!" she said making the men cough in embarrassment.

"Continue, Meiying," said Lin Yu Yan glaring at Wang Ping, Han Jingju, Gu Xiang, and Xie Rong. Han Bingwen face didn't change at all and the children present had no idea what they meant.

"I would wake up at night to see them doing drugs. Opium to be exact. At first I had no idea it was drugs they were doing. I thought they were both sick and they had to medicate themselves at night but… It kept happening… every… single… night…

Their behaviors didn't seem normal either. I thought it was normal as some medication can make you seemed a bit… weird… but during the third week since I saw it first happened, I started noticing it wasn't medication. They started taking higher doses and even started doing them during the day. I hear my teacher say, 'I love this feeling,' every time she doses in the drug.

In exchange for the drugs, that man was able to use the plants and herbs in the storage as much as he can. The ominous smell was the very same smell that Wei Ru experienced and the same as the sea snake.

Then the worse part came… we ran out of money. We were in a huge debt. My teacher started going crazy, craving for the drug as they ran out of opium. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was messy, her movements started being violent.

Dead animals started appearing in our village. No one were able to identify what the animals were from the strange and unusual forms they all had. No one believed me when I told them it was my teacher and that evil man's doing," said Meiying.

Meiying looked down as she finishes her story since she couldn't hold in her tears from remembering her past.

"My guess is they heard news of me telling the other villagers about what I know because I was sold off to some slave traders a few days later... And the rest of the story, you already know."
