Kenzō couldn't guess, but he was both surprised and delighted. He wasn't afraid that this person would be hard to find, or that they wouldn't cooperate with Long Fei Ye's dual cultivation. He was only afraid that such a person didn't exist in this world.
"Feiye, hurry and tell me, just who is it?"
Kenzō was so nervous that he lost his composure, but Long Fei Ye only smiled at him. "It's a secret!"
"Feiye, you're not deceiving master, are you?"
"Feiye! Tell me, just who is it? "
"Stinking brat! Stop right there! "
"Did you hear me? Just who is it? Is it a man or a woman? How old is he? What's your relationship with him or her? When did you find this person? "
… …
Kenzō had a pile of questions. He chased after Long Fei Ye for a few steps, but Long Fei Ye didn't pay him any attention.
He was furious. If not for Long Fei Ye's tight schedule, he would have chased after him and interrogated him thoroughly.
This stinking brat shouldn't be lying to me. When did he find someone who could dual cultivate with him? He's too good at hiding! He even hid it from his master!
Just who is it?
For the next few days, Long Fei Ye and the Honored Elders were both in closed door cultivation. Kenzō was depressed by the word "secret." Of course, he didn't forget to tell Baili Mingxiang the truth. He wanted Baili Mingxiang to play along and lure the snake out of its hole.
Baili Mingxiang was very calm after learning the truth. She settled down in the room next to Long Fei Ye's recuperation room and entered Long Fei Ye's room three times a day, staying for about an hour each time.
An hour was exactly the time she needed to perform acupuncture. Unfortunately, she had to watch over the empty room and pass each day like a year.
She'd been on Celestial Mountain for days now, but she still hadn't seen His Highness Duke of Qin.
It was impossible to say that she wasn't a bit disappointed. She didn't think she was that noble. If feelings could be controlled, then what was the point of liking or disliking someone? How could she feel happy or unhappy?
Emotions could not be controlled, but they could be restrained.
Baili Mingxiang was also a person who would let her imagination run wild. She sat at the tea table and thought about a lot of things. What he thought about the most was the secret of the phoenix birthmark on the princess consort's back.
If there was a day when his highness found out about the Princess Consort's past, would his highness still dote on the Princess Consort?
If there was a day when the Princess Consort found out about her past, would she still like His Highness?
If … if …
If they became enemies in the end, where would her heart go?
She would not reveal this secret, but she knew that this secret would be revealed one day. At the very least, the identity of His Highness could not be hidden forever.
Looking at the tea set that His Highness Duke of Qin had used, Baili Mingxiang unconsciously reached out. However, before she could touch the master's cup, she sighed softly and withdrew her hand.
Suppose, suppose one day they stopped loving each other, then would she be able to love?
Thinking up to here, Baili Mingxiang suddenly broke into a self-mocking laugh.
What was wrong with her today? Why did she have to think so much?
Even if there was a day when they stopped loving each other, she could not love! He was her master and she was his servant. What right did she have to love him?
Besides, how could they not love each other?
Even if they found out about her past, they would still love each other. It would just be a matter of hate. Love and hate intertwined, entangling each other for eternity.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, if such a day comes, please believe in His Highness Duke of Qin," Baili Mingxiang muttered to herself.
It was almost time for today's treatment. Baili Mingxiang packed up her needles and went out. There were two attendants waiting outside the door. They often chatted with her, and today was no exception.
"Miss Baili, is His Highness Duke of Qin's injuries better?" one of the attendants asked.
Baili Mingxiang sighed softly. "With such serious injuries, it will take at least a year or so for him to recover."
"Didn't you come? What kind of needles did you use? Where is esteemed Princess Consort? Is she not coming back? "the attendant asked again.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. I'm leaving."
As Baili Mingxiang was about to leave, the attendant asked again, "Miss Mingxiang, won't you follow His Highness Duke of Qin for more than a year?"
Baili Mingxiang smiled but didn't answer. When night fell, she would have to practice martial arts with the old Kenzō, so she had to go back and sleep first.
No matter what, she had to do her best to make this act real and complete her mission!
Almost at the same time that Bai Yanqing arrived at Medical City, news of Baili Mingxiang's visit to Celestial Mountain reached his ears.
"Baili Mingxiang?" Bai Yanqing muttered to himself. "Beauty's Blood …"
When Jun Yi Xie had brought back a drop of poisoned blood from Yu Zhou Island, it had taken him a long time to figure out that it was not only Beauty's Blood, but also the blood of a mermaid.
It was precisely because of that drop of blood that he began to question Long Fei Ye's origins.
"Does she know martial arts?" Bai Yanqing asked.
The messenger replied truthfully, "We've investigated her. She's the youngest daughter of the Baili family. For some reason, Han Yunxi took her in as a maidservant. She knows medicine and poisons, but not martial arts."
Bai Yanqing was an extremely suspicious person. He fell silent and began to ponder a few questions.
Baili Mingxiang's blood was highly toxic. This meant that Long Fei Ye had used her to cultivate Beauty's Blood. Those who could cultivate Beauty's Blood had to have a different body type, and those who cultivated Beauty's Blood would die. Baili Mingxiang had probably been saved by Han Yunxi.
It wasn't easy to cure Baili Mingxiang's poison. To be precise, it was an extremely difficult task. Baili Mingxiang was just a servant. If she wasn't still useful, why would Han Yunxi save her? Could it be that Long Fei Ye had asked Han Yunxi to save Baili Mingxiang?
Also, why did Baili Mingxiang come to Tianshan Mountain at this time? Was it really to treat Long Fei Ye with acupuncture? Did she know martial arts or not?
"Find an opportunity to test her and see if she knows martial arts," Bai Yanqing ordered in a low voice.
After the messenger left, Bai Yuqiao came over. "Master, my subordinates have interrogated her no less than five times. That girl Su Xiaoyu couldn't explain clearly about the phoenix birthmark. I ordered people to test her before. Based on her answers, I'm afraid that she really doesn't know about it and has never seen it before. "
"So, the Chu family … and even Long Fei Ye doesn't know about it?" Bai Yanqing seemed to be somewhat happy.
"Master, what's the matter? What does the phoenix birthmark look like? "Bai Yuqiao asked boldly.
Bai Yanqing was in a good mood today. He didn't give Bai Yuqiao any attitude. Instead, he laughed and said to himself, "It seems that they don't know the truth. Hehe, then this game will be even more interesting! The Old Man is looking forward to it! "
Seeing that his master was in a good mood, Bai Yuqiao quickly took the opportunity to ask, "Master, when will the good show begin?"
Even if his master didn't reveal the secret of the phoenix birthmark, he would at least reveal something related to it, right? Bai Yuqiao felt that this matter had something to do with Han Yunxi.
Judging from his master's tone, Han Yunxi probably had the birthmark. His master had only interrogated Su Xiaoyu to confirm whether Chu Tianyin, Long Fei Ye, and the rest knew what the birthmark meant.
"A good show …" Bai Yanqing stroked his beard with a smile. "Wait until the Apricot Woods Conference is over. Little lass, this will be the biggest show in Cloud Realm Continent's history. The best show ever. Just you wait!"
After the Apricot Woods Conference, Ning Cheng would take care of Chu Tianyin as well. It was time for him to head south. As long as Ning Cheng did that, he would definitely reveal Long Fei Ye's secret to the public!
He'd like to see how Long Fei Ye would fight against Ning Cheng's red coat cannoneers and thousands of cavalry then.
"Master, that Apricot Woods Conference … there's nothing to watch?" Bai Yuqiao didn't understand.
Bai Yanqing suddenly knitted his brows. "Lass, the Apricot Woods Conference is Cloud Realm Continent's medical community's greatest gathering. There's plenty to watch, so you have to watch carefully for your master. Medicine and poisons have many similarities. Poisons doctors also fall under the category of medicine."
Bai Yanqing's motives for coming to the Apricot Woods Conference were simple. Besides investigating Medical City's movements against the south central region's commander-in-chief's estate, he was really here to learn.
He wanted to treat this gathering as a vacation to recuperate his body and mind. Only then would he have the energy to fight a proper battle with Long Fei Ye!
Bai Yuqiao felt resentful. She wasn't interested in the Apricot Woods Conference at all, so she probed, "Master, why don't we go take a look at the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds? That's the birthplace of the poison world, after all! "
Finally, Bai Yanqing fell silent. Bai Yuqiao still wanted to bring up senior brother's matter, but seeing this, she could only shut her mouth obediently.
Han Yunxi's group had also arrived at Medical City, arriving a few days earlier than Bai Yanqing.
Han Yunxi had gained a new understanding of Gu Beiyue during this trip. This fellow actually knew the fastest mountain path to Medical City and had taken them over three barren mountains without getting lost. Instead, he'd saved them five days of travel.
Moreover, what Han Yunxi hadn't expected was that Gu Beiyue actually had a large residence in Medical City. Gu Beiyue hadn't even mentioned it the last time they came.
Currently, they were inside the residence.
"Esteemed wangfei, Seventh Young Master, look at what this is. Gu Beiyue handed over three invitations to the Apricot Woods Conference.
"You're quite capable." Gu glanced at them and gave them a rare compliment. In truth, he could've gotten an invitation to the Apricot Woods Conference just the same, but he couldn't be bothered to listen to Luo Zuishan's nagging.
"I didn't expect you to have such good friends in Medical City," Han Yunxi teased. Gu Beiyue had grown up in Medical City. Although he didn't like to socialize, he still had many friends.
Han Yunxi hadn't expected that Gu Beiyue's friends in Medical City would still be willing to help him now that the commander-in-chief's estate in South Ning was in trouble and he was a member of Pill Fiend Pharmacy.
What kind of friendship was this?
"Hehe, Doctor Gu, just what are your origins?" Gu was the first to speak. In truth, Han Yunxi had also wanted to ask this question along the way, but she didn't know how to broach the subject.
Gu Beiyue didn't panic and maintained his warm smile. "My surname is Gu. My ancestors have a deep relationship with Medical City's Gu Clan. When my grandfather was alive, he was always kind to others. Thanks to him, many of Medical City's great aristocratic families are friends with me."
Gu Beiyue smiled and teased, "They all think I'm abandoning the dark for the light this time, hehe."
These were naturally lies. Gu Beiyue's surname wasn't actually "Gu." It was just a surname the Shadow Clan had changed to hide their identity. Back when the Shadow Clan hid in Medical City, the Gu Clan was Medical City's number one clan, so the Shadow Clan took on the surname Gu.
The Shadow Clan's surname was Gu. They lived their lives as shadows and solitude.
Gu Beiyue's real name was Gu Beiyue. He was born on the fifteenth night of the eighth lunar month, when the bright moon hung high in the sky. Thus, his grandfather gave him the name "Yue."
Gu wanted to ask more questions, but Gu Beiyue cleverly changed the topic. "Seventh Young Master, your surname is also Gu. Perhaps we were even family five hundred years ago."
Gu instantly lost interest in this topic. He sneered, "I'm going out for a walk."
"It's already late, where are you going?" Han Yunxi asked. The Apricot Woods Conference was the day after tomorrow. It wouldn't be easy to reach Medical City smoothly. She didn't want anything to happen in the last two days.
Gu turned back and smiled devastatingly. "Poison Lass, I'm going to prepare a big gift for Gu Yuntian!"
Gu Beiyue left for two days.
He only appeared when Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue were both at the entrance of the Apricot Woods Conference …
