I'm Your Ancestor (BL) (END)

"That green fungus... It can't be..."

Ash leaves his team and follows a hooded guy. He kept following him until he catches up with him.

That green round thing is just too strange. It attracted all eyes on the hooded guy. Unfortunately he is too dense to understand.

Ash grabs his shoulder. He refrains from shaking him up.

"What are you doing here?"

"Dage..."

Ken gasps. He planned to sell some pills and earn some money at the auction.

His ex used to sell his drugs in this Auction Hall. Of course back then, this place wasn't as grandiose as now.

"Explain. Now."

Ash holds Ken's hand and pushes him further from the crowds. They go to a corner of the room where there is less crowd.

He activates a defense silence talisman.

It created a soundproofing space around them. Prevent others to hear their conversation.

Ken inhales a deep breath.

He confesses, "I got inheritance from a famous Alchemist. His book recipes and a broken pill furnace."

"Is it genuine?"

"Yes. I could guarantee it."

Ken apologizes in his heart, "Sorry, Dage. You won't believe it if I said I were Saint Alchemist. Nobody is going to buy it."

Ash rubs his chin.

Most famous alchemist took their recipes to their graves.

Ash asks, "What are you doing here?"

"To sell some medicines in Auction."

Ash and his team are supposed to guard a VIP guest. The minister of Defense.

He decides to follow Ken to keep him safe. Others shall guard the Minister well. Michael is among them. It should be fine.

Ash leads Ken to the office to submit the potions. After a brief toxicity test, the medicines are going into auction.

Ash stays with Ken during the whole Auction session. Then he guides him to receive the payment.

The money isn't much. There isn't many interested buyers.

Ken is no name Alchemist.

Ash returns to his post after he sends a driver to take his Didi back to the Sect.

The Minister is scowling. He has been planning to take Ash Bourne as his son-in-law. He changes his mind afterwards.

Ash smiles weakly. He is against the political marriage from the start.

Gramps learned everything before they got back from Auction Hall.

He has been waiting in barrack courtyard.

A long whip in his right hand.

Military punishment for disobeying order.

Gramps asks, "You know what you did?"

His grandson says nothing to reply him. He only takes off his shirt and jacket. He hands it over to Michael next to him.

Ash is kneeling with bare top. He has few scars from his previous assignments.

The courtyard is crowded. A lot of soldiers have gathered up to see the punishment.

It's rare to see Ash got military punishment. Maybe once in a blue moon.
