Chapter 1589 - 812: A Heavenly Face

Xiao Che narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, continuing: "Regarding ’medicinal energy,’ our Xiao Family medical room has accumulated various herbal medicines over the years, which are indeed sufficient. Moreover, the herb used most in our medical room is ’Thin Net Grass,’ hence the scent of medicinal energy should belong to the sweet fishy smell of ’Thin Net Grass.’

The Grandmaster also knows that the box containing the deep porous powder is made from Black Fruit Ebony, which is extremely adept at preserving the effects of the Elixir of Immortality from spreading to the surroundings. Then, does the clan master know the reason for Black Fruit Ebony? It can preserve the Elixir of Immortality’s effectiveness... Well, in fact, the reason is quite simple. Black Pro Black Rosewood has a strong particle absorption capacity, so when the ambient medicinal energy comes in contact with Black Pro Black Rosewood, it gets firmly absorbed and is difficult to diffuse. Even after the surface has absorbed enough moisture until it is completely absorbed, the medicinal force cannot disperse even if it wishes. I believe anyone here with a bit of medical knowledge should understand this theory."

Many people present nodded silently.

"Then, if the black ebony wood box containing the deep porous powder is placed in the medical room for a certain period, its surface will certainly absorb a large amount of ’medical energy’ upon entering the room. According to the properties of Black Fruit Ebony, it absorbs quickly but diffuses slowly, so even if removed from the medical room, you’d still be able to smell ’medicinal energy’... Thin Net Grass... even two to three days later."

As these words came out, Xiao Yunhai’s complexion slightly changed.

Xiao Che accurately calculated that Xiao Yunhai wouldn’t actually place the deep porous powder in the medical room because if the real deep porous powder was stolen, he would cry... And Xiao Yunhai indeed didn’t place the deep porous powder into the medical room. As for the medical staff’s aunt, she had been informed in advance and didn’t dare refuse under the intimidation of the Small Sect.

"I wonder if the Grandmaster dares to bring the box over and let us smell it to check whether the box indeed has the supposed scent?" Xiao Che said with a smile.

"Xiao Che! As expected, you’re still suspecting Clan Master, simply preposterous!" Before Xiao Yunhai said anything, Xiao Li once again erupted agitatedly: "In order to protect your little aunt, you are actually going to forcefully question Clan Master, simply ridiculous! Unreasonable! Our Xiao Clan had totally raised you in vain all these years, why haven’t you withdrawn!!"

"Hehe, there’s no need to be agitated, First Elder. The relationship between their aunt and nephew has always been close, and his desperate attempt is understandable. Besides, what he said is reasonable and fair. Since he wants to know if this box has a problem, we will show him. However, the deep porous powder and Black Pro Wood are precious treasures. How can we let anyone touch it at will?" Xiao Yunhai finished speaking and respectfully continued; Xiao Yunhai turned around: "Then, can we ask Young Master Xiao to witness. I believe if it’s Mr. Xiao, his words will be more convincing to everyone present than anyone else today."

Xiao Che inwardly scoffed but his expression didn’t change, nodding slightly: "Of course, if it’s Master Xiao, he would be the most trustworthy. Could Young Master Xiao let us smell the scent on the box to relieve my inner doubts?"

Xiao Kuangyun and Xiao Yunhai exchanged glances, simultaneously thinking the foolish Xiao Che couldn’t possibly realize they had been working together from the beginning. Xiao Kuangyun raised the box in his hand, smirked disdainfully, and casually answered: "This suspicion is interesting. Since that’s the case, I will represent you and take a sniff."

After saying that, Xiao Kuangyun raised the box containing the deep porous powder, brought it to his nose, and began sniffing carefully. Then he knitted his eyebrows and said: "Though the smell is not intense, there is indeed a sweet but non-fishy scent."

He opened his eyes and said coldly: "Come, smell it, you can smell the same, to prevent others from suspecting I am collaborating with Little Grandmaster."

"How could the status of Master Xiao deceive us." First Elder complimented enthusiastically as he obediently walked over. Then he nodded: "Yes, it indeed emits a sweet and fishy smell." He gazed at the entire room, raising his voice: "Xiao Che, do you have anything else to say? Young Master Xiao and the Grandmaster have already granted you a heavenly face, if you keep pestering, I will personally hunt you down."

"Wow! Calm down Elder." Xiao Che’s expression became strange as he waved his hands up and down: "Young Master Xiao and First Elder unexpectedly smelled a fishy scent, which is... cough cough... actually, I wasn’t careful earlier, and I missed... Master Xiao has an exalted status, surely he only comes into contact with the highest grade of Elixir of Immortality. As for ordinary herbs like Thin Net Grass, you must certainly not bother anymore. Clan Elders and First Elders are wholeheartedly devoted to training and do not dabble in medical knowledge, so naturally, have no time to visit the medical room, therefore you might not know that the smell of Thin Net Grass is not sweet and fishy, but bitter. Among you, does anyone know, if you enter the medical room and sniff... right? However, Young Master Xiao and First Elder both smelled a fishy scent, this makes me unable to understand. I wonder if anyone here can help explain this?"
