The atmosphere in the living room of the Chi Residence was a little strange. Every time Fenghao looked at the dull-faced butler, he would feel very awkward. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the middle-aged man, he asked, "Uncle Chi, is Miss Qing Wu in the residence? I would like to meet her and … apologize."
"This …"
The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze. His eyes flickered a few times before his expression darkened. He sighed softly and said, "Young Master Feng Hao, to tell you the truth, my daughter … is not in the residence right now."
"Not in the residence?"
Feng Hao's expression, which was originally a little uneasy, turned into one of astonishment.
"That's right."
The middle-aged man nodded and continued, "When my daughter came back, she only said that Young Master Feng Hao would come to cure me of the poison. Then, she left in a hurry."
"This …"
Feng Hao's eyes flickered as he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, did Miss Qing Wu say where she was going?"
A weak girl running away from home after encountering such a thing was a sign of danger. The more he thought about it, the more worried Feng Hao became, and his emotions became a little restless.
Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man and the old steward were a little stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"This … she didn't say."
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"How could this be?"
Feng Hao instantly panicked, pacing around uneasily. After a while, he stopped and asked again, "Uncle, did she leave any message?"
"Message?"
The middle-aged man frowned, then his eyes lit up. "Yes, she said that we will meet again if we are fated."
"We will meet again if we are fated?"
After softly repeating it twice, Fenghao's agitated heart calmed down. He glanced at this strange pair of master and servant, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he was escorted out of the Chi Residence by the middle-aged man.
Glancing at the courtyard once more, Feng Hao walked towards the city gate.
"Hu …"
Outside the city, there was no more noise. Feng Hao heaved a sigh of relief. His brows were still furrowed as he looked at the horizon. "Where did she go?"
The outside world was too big. Without a definite location, trying to find a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Hehe …"
Elder Fen's laughter rang out, and he said with some satisfaction, "Brat, do you really want to know where that girl is going?"
"Hmm?"
Feng Hao was stunned and immediately asked, "Master, could it be that you know about it?"
As he spoke, he was also filled with anticipation.
A girl who was only a Martial Master was left wandering alone in the world. He could not let go of his worries.
Thinking of this, he could not help but blame Elder Fen.
If he had said so earlier, such a thing would never have happened.
"Hehe!Kid, are you blaming me? "
As if knowing Feng Hao's thoughts, Elder Fen said it directly.
"Uh …"
Feng Hao's face stiffened, and he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he had taken advantage of the situation, and the old man did not get any benefits.
"Brat, I once told you that the girl's identity is not simple. Have you forgotten?"
The old man's voice became serious.
"Her identity?"
At the mention of this, the scene in the Chi Residence flashed before Feng Hao's eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he said in shock, "Could it be …?"
"Hmph!If you did not have the Medicine Encyclopedia, do you really think you could do anything to that little girl?Without it, you would have turned into a pile of bones! "
Elder Fen snorted and sneered. "Let me tell you, even a Martial Venerable would be peeled off a layer of skin if he met her!"
"This …"
The strange phenomenon in the cave appeared. Feng Hao's eyes flickered, and he exclaimed, "Could she be a Poison Master?"
"I was just suspecting it before, but now I can confirm that the girl is from the so-called Dark Shadow Sect!"
Elder Fen's words exploded in Feng Hao's mind like a bomb, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
After hearing the old man's words, he connected the dots. Why would a high-ranking poison master appear in the Thousand Mile Flaming Mountain to cover his retreat, and the strange relationship between the master and servant in the Chi Residence? These were all well explained.
"That means they have their eyes on me."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Feng Hao's mouth.
After hearing about the Dark Shadow Sect and giving Hua Yuntian and Yun Xiong the antidote, he felt that he had gotten himself into big trouble.
Although he did not know what the heat poison was, it could only be expelled by the king of medicine, the Crimson Lotus Medicine King. It was obvious that the poison was not simple.
Based on the Dark Shadow Demon Sect's actions, Fenghao could immediately guess that this inexplicable heat poison was a trump card that the Dark Shadow Demon Sect used to force experts to submit to them.
However, he had unknowingly removed the heat poison from Hua Yuntian and Yun Xiong. This would definitely attract the attention of the Dark Shadow Sect.
Logically speaking, even if it was him, Fenghao felt that he definitely could not let such a person live. But surprisingly, the Dark Shadow Demon Sect did not kill him. Then, Qing Wu's appearance could be explained.
She must be a high-ranking member of the Dark Shadow Sect, and she might even be the one who concocted the heat poison. The reason she did not kill him was because she wanted to see him remove the poison with her own eyes. However, she did not expect that something like this would happen halfway …
After thinking it through, Feng Hao felt even more bitter.
"Don't worry. After this incident, the Dark Shadow Sect should not cause trouble for you for a while."
Elder Fen said casually, "Even if they come to find you, they should be asking you to join them. I reckon that the little girl's status in the Dark Shadow Sect is quite high. Since she did not kill you in the cave, she definitely won't send someone to kill you."
"Haha!"
Feng Hao shook his head bitterly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
No matter what, Qing Wu was his first woman, and she had indirectly saved his life. This inexplicable feeling was not so easy to let go.
"Sigh!Why are you so wishy-washy? It doesn't matter who that little girl is. If you really care about her and don't want her to stay in the Dark Shadow Sect, you can just go and snatch her when you have the strength. "
Feng Hao's wishy-washy was directly reprimanded by Elder Fen.
Although he was scolded miserably, Feng Hao still felt that the old man's words were very reasonable. He smiled bitterly. "Master, thank you!"
Looking in the direction of the Chi Residence again, Feng Hao did not intend to go back to confirm it. With a flip of his hand, he took out the map of the Ancient Desolate Ruins, verified the area, and directly flew in the direction of the Ancient Desolate Ruins.
To obtain strength, one must have three things: Odd Crystal, Martial Crystal, and Secret Technique!And these three things were in the ruins!
