While they were half way through the journey, the carriage Meng Yu riding suddenly stopped. Meng Yu lazily looked looked as the coachman got down and said from the outside.
"Young master, master asked this servant to buy some things in town before setting off. This servant only remembered now. I am afraid master would blame this servant if this servant failed to buy them when returning to estate. Young master, the estate is not too far from here. Can I trouble young master to do this servant a favor and let this servant go back to buy those things."
Meng Yu curled his lips and said deliberately "Why are you being so polite. Isn't it just talking a journey to town. You can just take me along, I also want to see how the town is for a long time."
The coachman was surprised by hearing this words. From what he heard, the first young master was a very cowardly person who stutters at every word he speak. But just now he heard the voice filled with laziness with a hint of playfulness.
But the coachman felt that he may have thought too much. No matter what, this young master was just a waste that no one cares about. He remembered the orders master gave him, to 'lose' the first young master. So he hurried replied
"How can that be. How can this servant trouble young master with these things. Just let this servant make the trip to town. Young master, if you walk straight you would reach reach the estate in no time."
"Ah is that so, fine then, i will listen to you."
Meng Yu get down from the carriage and looked around while asking in a suspicious tone "How come there is forest here. I don't remember we going through the forest to reach the estate."
The coachman said quickly
"This is a short route to reach the estate, young master doesn't need to worry. Master usually take this route to reach the estate quick. It must be because young master rarely goes out that he must not have known this."
Meng Yu pretended to believe his nonsense and said
"Okay then, you can leave. I will go by myself."
The coachman was waiting for this word and so he hurriedly bow down and said "Then i will take my leave young master"
While in his he was thinking, this young master is really a fool. He even believed what he said. Well anyway he done the job master asked him to do.
So the coachman happily left with the carriage unaware of the danger he was going to face.
Meng Yu watched as the carriage drove far away till there is no shadow of it. He stood there calmly for about ten minutes before he heard many wolf howls from the direction the carriage gone. Then he started walking in the opposite direction. If someone saw him now, they would have seen this lips curled up playfully.
In truth he already noticed the carriage going in a different direction from other ones. He had high affinity with plants due to his ability, so he clearly felt more and more plants as the time gone. With no doubt, the coachman took him deep into the forest just to leave here. There is no way for the coachman to do this by himself, so someone must be behind him. As for who that might be, it must of course be the scum father of the original.
It seems like Meng Feng took this chance to completely erase the strain of his life. He must have wanted to do this for a long time but its a pity that the original never left the estate. Now he just used the opportunity of going to palace to just 'lose' this waste son.
Now he finally succeeded but its a pity that no one would be able to tell Meng Feng this good news in latest because the coachman already went into the belly of the wolves.
Meng Yu closed his eyes while walking forward enjoying the feeling the energy being absorbed into his body. In earth, every human with ability got a core. The core is the source of the ability in humans. At one point, humans gone to the point of killing others just to steal the core and absorb the energy in it. Its a pity that no one had ever succeeded in it but people never stopped killing others for core.
When he burned at his cores at that time, he was ready to die so he never cared what is happening. But now he can feel all the energies from the core merged from inside out of his body. Before he felt that there is a barrier between him and his ability but now he have the felling his ability and him are same.
He felt all kinds of plant energies reaching out to him as if embracing him. What surprised him more was, he found many kinds of medicinal plants on this forest. And among them were the plants he needed to cure his face.
No wonder people say fortune comes with misfortune. Although he doesn't feel he felt any misfortune.
He walked to the place where he felt the plants and collected them all. He took them and walked to the nearest water flow. He looked at the clear water in the lake and his reflection shown it. He felt his stomach growl as he looked at the fishes swimming around.
He looked at the herbs then at the fish. Which one is most important, face or food. Meng Yu once again looked at the refection of his face in the waster and sighed. Well face is most important.
Thankfully he just need to apply these herbs into his face. If he need to make a pill, then he can only hug a tree and cry. Where can he find a cauldron in this forest. He waved his hand while thinking how his face would be and if he need to make some beautifying creams.
The scene that occurred next would have shocked anyone if they were on scene. The herbs floated by itself into a bowl made of wood and a few drops of water fell into it from time to time. When everything became a paste, the bowl flew into the hand of Meng Yu.
Meng Yu applied the mixture into his face nervously........
