Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were welcomed into the main hall by Zhao Shengyu and entertained with good wine and delicious food. Li Tianyan took a sip of the wine in his glass while quietly looking at Zhao Shengyu, who was sitting above him.

“I have heard about Dr. Li’s reputation for a long time, and I finally met him today. I am very grateful that Dr. Li is willing to come to help me. I would like to toast you first.” Zhao Shengyu raised the wine glass on the table, and after speaking, he raised his head and drank it all.

“Please.” Upon seeing this, Li Tianyan picked up the wine glass again and drank it all. However, seeing that the other party wanted to continue toasting, he raised his hand to stop him and said, “One cup is enough, Your Highness, don’t force it.”

After hearing this, Zhao Shengyu’s hand paused as he poured the wine. Then he put down the wine glass with a wry smile, “Han Wei has told Dr. Li, right?”

“He did mention it.” Li Tianyan nodded.

However, Han Wei said that the prince had a strange disease. When Li Tianyan looked at his complexion, he saw that his Imperial Dragon Energy had been covered up by a curse. He was clearly riddled with evil energy. It seemed that Zhao Shengyu also had close contact with the snake demon.

Zhao Shengyu was also secretly observing Li Tianyan. Thinking of the similarities between him and the Imperial Master, he couldn’t help but ask tentatively, “Doctor Li also knows spells and alchemy. Are you the current Imperial Master Duan Gang’s acquittance?”

Duan Gang’s ability was very strange. Zhao Shengyu sent people to sneak into Jiantian Pavilion several times but never returned. The only one who came back became crazy and couldn’t say anything at all. This woman, Concubine Li, was even stranger.

Although there were some talented people with unique academic skills in Zidong Kingdom, such as that woman from Dixuan Sect who can calculate fate, but he had never heard of people like Concubine Li and the Imperial Master before.

“I don’t know him.” Li Tianyan denied. He had indeed never met the cultivator before, but the lack of meeting did not prevent them from forming grudges.

He had ruined the other party’s plans many times, and that guy must have resented him in his heart. And the other party also injured Cheng Qi’s ghost slave and used his pills to pretend to be an alchemist, Li Tianyan naturally wouldn’t just let it go.

“Really?” After hearing that he didn’t know, Zhao Shengyu didn’t continue to ask.

.

After a moment, he said casually, “I heard from Han Wei that Dr. Li has excellent medical skills, and his alchemy skills are not inferior to the Imperial Master. I wonder if you know the art of curses, and is there any medicine that can alleviate curses?”

“Your Highness knows that he is under a curse?” Li Tianyan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that things were not what he imagined.

Zhao Shengyu couldn’t help but be secretly surprised when he saw his reaction. He had never mentioned the curse to anyone. Could it be that the other party could already see something in just such one glance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shengyu also nodded calmly, “I know, it’s just that I…” At this point, he suddenly paused and did not continue.

Li Tianyan tapped his fingers on the table before saying, “The curse cannot be cured by ordinary medicine.”

Hearing this answer, Zhao Shengyu was not too disappointed. He had already been mentally prepared. After all, curses like this were not so easy to dispel. Just when he wanted to change the topic, he heard Li Tianyan speak again.

“But it can be removed by other methods.” Li Tianyan saw that the curse on him was not too deep, and it was not difficult to solve it.

“Dr. Li, do you mean what you said? Is there really a cure?” Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Zhao Shengyu was so excited that the cup in his hand was instantly crushed to pieces.

Li Tianyan thought for a moment and then said, “There is a way, but I still need to prepare something, we can only do it tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? If Doctor Li needs anything, you can tell me, and I will ask someone to prepare it.” Zhao Shengyu was overjoyed when he realized that Li Tianyan wasn’t joking.

“Your Highness, please prepare twelve geckos.” Li Tianyan thought it was too much hassle to catch them himself, it was better to let others do it.

“Geckos? Okay.” Zhao Shengyu agreed readily upon hearing that only geckos were needed.

The two chatted casually for a few more moments when suddenly a limp body fell into Li Tianyan’s arms. Only then did he shift his attention away from Zhao Shengyu. When he looked down at the person lying limply in his arms, he couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

Cheng Qi… How much wine did he drink to get this drunk?

“Doctor Li, why don’t you send Young Madam Li to the side room to rest first,” Zhao Shengyu suggested upon seeing Cheng Qi in such a state.

“Well, I’ll excuse myself now.” Li Tianyan nodded apologetically, stood up with Cheng Qi in his arms, and followed the servant who led the way out of the hall.

“I want the young master.” Cheng Qi suddenly clung to Li Tianyan as they walked. Li Tianyan had to hold onto him securely to prevent him from falling.
