Heal Me With Poison[BL]

Chapter 9: The Awakening of Hidden Power

*** Some of the secrets only King knew ***

There was an owl that was keeping an eye on Xingchen. Chang Min(Minister of Ni Min Ju) made the owl from his magical powers. 

When the King went to the battle, King instructed Chang Min to keep an eye on Xingchen. The owl informed Chang Min when Xue Yang took Xingchen out of the palace, and thus, he got to know where Xingchen was. But keeping himself calm, he decided not to rush and wait for King's instruction before attacking Xue Yang. *****

**** In the Birch Clan *****

Chang Min locked Xingchen in the room. King came back to the palace. His footsteps were approaching the room. He bashed into the room and towards Xingchen.

He grabbed his shoulders, pulling him roughly against him, and kissed his lips in a demanding way that roused more anger than anything else. Xingchen's lips started bleeding.

King looked at the bloody lips and then Xingchen eyes which were depicting that he was in pain, and licked the blood from his lips; he then threw him in anger and went out of the room.

King's elderly, who was to perform the ritual, came in and filled a bottle with Xingchen's blood. 

When everybody went away, Xingchen stood up more robust than before and looked at the bottle of poison he had kept hidden near his bed.

**** Same time in the Maple Clan *****

Xue Yang woke up holding his head as he felt dizziness and saw Grandmaster and Ju Yi(Xue Yang's best friend and one of the most profound disciples) standing in front of him.

"Xingchen gave you the sleeping pills so that he can surrender himself to Chang Min. He knew that you would not allow that so he gave you those sleeping pill" said Ju Yi.

Xue Yang said, "What will we do now? King will kill him."

"Xingchen found the solution," said Ju Yi and handed him the booklet, which he found lying down on the floor in the underground library.

Xue Yang read the book and yelled, "He will not drink poison. I will not let him do this" and threw the book on the ground. Ju Yi calmed him down and said, "We will save him. Let's first head to the palace before it's too late."

They both kowtowed the Grandmaster and left.

Xue Yang and Ju Yi reached Birch Palace, knocked down two servants, and disguised themselves as the servants.

They looked around to search for Xingchen. They went to the same room where Ni Min Ju had captured him earlier, but he was not there.

They found the King's room. It was a massive room with a vast bookshelf beside a Big Photo Frame of the King. Ju Yi, by mistake, dragged the photo frame, and the secret door opened, which had stairs into the dark hallway.

They both looked at each other and carefully walked down the stairs and found themselves in a dark place. The moonlight was visible from the room's corner; a bed laid just near the window and candles around the bed. On the side of the bed, there was a sign.

"What's this sign?" asked Xue Yang.

"It's the sign of eternity. There is a whole book about this. This sign of eternity redirects the evil energy towards itself. It is prohibited to use such a sign for practice as it can be dangerous. King has already prepared everything. Tomorrow is the Full Moon Night. The ritual will be performed at exactly midnight when the new day starts, and the old day ends."

They suddenly heard somebody coming downstairs and hid in the darkest corner of the chamber.

Elderly Minister came down with a small bottle in his hand. The bottle was transparent, and it was clear that it was the Xingchen's blood inside that bottle. He threw the blood droplets on the sign while chanting.
