Afternoon.
Xiao Mansion.
In a spacious room, a gentle light filled the space. In the inner part of the room, a large bed was placed, and an elderly man with a jaundiced, withered face lay upon it. Around the bed, several maids were busily coming and going. Upon hearing the door open, they directed their gaze over.
Seeing Xiao Teng gesture with a wave, they bowed slightly and then exited the room one by one.
After the maids had left, Xiao Teng softly said, "Father, Chen Hong and Yi Yao are here."
After speaking, he turned back to Chen Mo and said, "Go ahead."
Chen Mo, along with Yi Yao, walked over, glancing over the bed. His brow immediately furrowed; a few days ago, the person who had been full of vigor now looked like a dying man.
He noticed a faint grey hue across Xiao Yunqi's face, a sign of severe poisoning.
Just as Chen Mo was about to activate the Ancient Heavy Pupils to take a closer look, Xiao Yunqi spoke weakly:
"Chen Hong... you're here, sit..."
