Perhaps the poison of the Golden Rippling Flower was too strong, but Di Yun's appearance was still the same as when he was alive. There were no signs of damage at all.
"Senior Brother …" Qi Fang choked when she saw the familiar face. She wanted to pounce on him but was stopped by Indigo Phoenix and Zhou Zhiruo.
"Senior Brother, it's all my fault." Qi Fang slumped to the ground and started sobbing.
"Take care of her. I'll be back soon." After Song Qingshu gave his orders, he flew towards Linan City like a wisp of green smoke.
"My condolences …" Zhou Zhiruo was touched by the deep friendship between them. She stroked Qi Fang's hair and comforted her. Indigo Phoenix squatted down and comforted her.
After a while, Song Qingshu returned with a heavy coffin on his shoulder.
"We can't let Brother Di's body be exposed in the wilderness. Let's bury him first." Song Qingshu said in a deep voice. Qi Fang's eyes were red from crying. She nodded and made way for him.
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked when she saw Song Qingshu reaching out to carry Di Yun who was buried in the soil. "Be careful!"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of the Golden Rippling Flower anymore. Moreover, I should send Brother Di off for the last time." Di Yun was staying in his hometown in Hemp Creek Shop. If Song Qingshu had not brought him out, he would not have ended up like this. Song Qingshu felt guilty when he thought of this.
Qi Fang choked when she saw Song Qingshu carrying Di Yun out of the mud pit despite the dirt and poison. "Thank you."
Song Qingshu sighed. He cleaned up Di Yun's body and changed him into new clothes. Finally, he placed him in the coffin gently. Just as he was planning to find a good place to bury him, Qi Fang opened her mouth and said, "I want to help Senior Brother's coffin to be buried in our hometown. Senior Brother, he … he must want to go back to Hemp Creek Shop the most."
Song Qingshu originally wanted to dissuade her, but when he heard the latter part of her sentence, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He gave up the idea of persuading her. "That's good too. Fallen leaves return to their roots. You should go back, but you have to take care of the child alone …"
"Don't worry, I'm also a Jianghu person. Moreover, Little Sister Zhiruo has taught me the martial arts of the Emei faction," Qi Fang said with her lips pursed.
At this time, Indigo Phoenix said, "This time, a few sisters from the cult came to Lin 'an with me. Originally, I was going to send them back to the headquarters in Yunnan to handle some matters. Since it's on the way to Hemp Creek Shop, I'll let them accompany Miss Qi so that we can look after each other on the way."
Just as Qi Fang was about to decline, Song Qingshu decided for her and said, "That's great. It's settled then."
Qi Fang had no choice but to say, "Thank you … and thank you, Cult Leader Lan …" Everything that had happened tonight had really taken a huge toll on her mind. Now that she had relaxed, her vision immediately darkened and she fainted. Fortunately, Song Qingshu, who was next to her, had sharp eyes and quick hands, and caught her.
Facing Zhou Zhiruo and Indigo Phoenix's concerned gaze, Song Qingshu checked her pulse and answered, "I'm fine. I'm just overjoyed and sorrowful. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Only then did the two women heaved a sigh of relief. Indigo Phoenix said, "My place of residence is not far from the city. Let's go there and settle these first."
Looking at the coffin, Song Qingshu nodded and said, "That's good too. This thing is too conspicuous. It's not convenient to bring it in and out of Linan City."
Subsequently, Song Qingshu carried the coffin, Zhou Zhiruo carried the water spinach, and Indigo Phoenix supported Qi Fang. The group of them left the forest quietly. As for the guard who was captured to lead the way, Song Qingshu had already interrogated him and found out that he was one of Di Yun's accomplices. Therefore, he left him in the pit that Di Yun was in previously.
"Cult Leader Lan, how did you get caught by Wan Gui?" Song Qingshu finally had the time to ask about some things.
"Aiyo, don't call me Cult Leader Lan. If that person finds out, I'll be in deep trouble." Indigo Phoenix smiled coquettishly. "Just call me Little Phoenix from now on."
Song Qingshu knew that she was talking about Dongfang Muxue. As Indigo Phoenix was Dongfang Muxue's concubine, there was no need for him to be distant with her. "Alright then. Little Phoenix, how did you get caught by Wan Gui?"
Hearing that he had changed the way he addressed her, Indigo Phoenix smiled happily. However, when she heard his doubts, she said in a depressed tone, "It's all because of you, my enemy."
Noticing the coldness hidden in Zhou Zhiruo's smile, Song Qingshu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Little Phoenix, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want."
Indigo Phoenix looked at Zhou Zhiruo and smiled, "It's my master. She heard that something happened to you and killed a few eunuchs in a rage …"
At this point, Song Qingshu frowned. He was bothered by Dongfang Muxue's behavior. However, she was the cult leader of the Demonic Cult and had developed a ruthless personality.
Indigo Phoenix continued, "She wanted to go down south personally but now that the imperial court and the three border defenses are at war, if she were to leave, the imperial court would be without a leader and Wu Sangui would be able to take over. By then, all your hard work over the years would go down the drain. Master said that you … you're blessed and you won't die so easily. If she were to come back safely and find out that she had lost her base, who knows how she would blame her."
Song Qingshu nodded, "She did a good job. If she were to abandon the big picture, I would be crying right now."
Indigo Phoenix smiled, "Master also said that you would understand her. Oh yes, Fei Yan was crying and asking to see you. However, she is master's right-hand man now. Now that the war is in a critical situation, many things can't be done without her. Coincidentally, I'm quite free and I'm good at using poison. Hence, master sent me down south to look for you. At the same time, I wanted to see if I could find the antidote for the Golden Ripple Flower."
Thinking about Qu Feiyan, the weird little girl, Song Qingshu felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
"I thought that since Wan Gui was the one who used the Golden Ripple Flower, I should get the antidote from him. Hence, I snuck into the Prime Minister's residence under the cover of the night. However, I didn't expect that brat to be so cunning. He even set up a trap in the bedroom. I wasn't paying attention and … fell into the trap. You know what happened after that." Indigo Phoenix was enraged as she talked about it. She was a terrifying presence in the martial world. She didn't expect to fall into the hands of a playboy. If it wasn't for Song Qingshu, she might have lost her chastity. By then, she would be too ashamed to continue living.
Looking at her pouting and sulking, Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "Oh yes, you just came from Beijing. You should be clear about the recent situation. How's the situation at the Golden Snake Camp after I got into trouble?"
