"Ning Jing, my sister is also afraid that you'll affect the fetus. Besides, Tang Li also wanted to tell you personally, so … don't blame my sister. She also didn't know that we would be kidnapped! "
Mu Ling 'er could be considered a good sister. She didn't forget to speak up for Han Yunxi at a time like this.
Ning Jing held Mu Ling 'er's hand tightly with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She was silent for a long time before she choked out, "Ling 'er, do you know? I … I really, really miss him. "
Mu Ling 'er was a crybaby. When she heard Ning Jing's choked voice, she couldn't help but cry, "I also miss Qi Brother, sob sob …"
Uncle Cheng was startled awake. He walked over angrily, but was stopped by Deacon Jin.
"If you continue to make noise, what if people are attracted here?" Uncle Cheng said angrily.
"This is already Jun Yi Xie's territory. What are you afraid of?" Deacon Jin retorted.
Uncle Cheng couldn't refute and could only leave in a huff. Deacon Jin sat back in his original position. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall with his back straight. He closed his eyes and rested.
Just now, he faintly heard Mu Ling 'er call out "Qi Brother". How could that girl cry like this when she missed someone?
He lowered his head. His fine bangs covered his eyes. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he wasn't in a good state.
Ning Jing missed Tang Li, and Mu Ling 'er missed Qi Brother.
Tang Li and Gu had split up to look for them, but they hadn't found any clues yet.
Tang Li counted all the routes that Hundred Poisons Sect used to pass through Tianhe City. There were a total of 15 routes. He sent people to search for them one by one. He also ran around day and night, looking for the secret signal.
However, it wasn't easy to determine the secret signal. He saw it carved on many trees and corners of houses. He copied all of them and sent them to Gu. He had sent more than ten of them, but all of them were rejected by Gu.
According to Gu, he really had forgotten.
If Tang Li knew what the secret signal looked like, it would be much easier to find a target. Unfortunately, he didn't.
Finally, one day, Tang Li realized that relying on Gu wasn't reliable. He started a carpet search, and search, while announcing to the world in the name of the Tang Sect that as long as Ning Jing was returned to him, he was willing to give up thirty top-secret secret secret weapon manufacturing blueprints.
When the news's news!
The first to boil over was naturally the Tang Sect. However, the Tang Sect's master was Long Fei Ye, and the sect master was Tang Li. Tang Zijin and the others couldn't find Long Fei Ye, and they couldn't contact Tang Li either. They wouldn't announce that Tang Li's orders were invalid, so they could only wait and see.
Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng were very surprised. It had to be said that if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take back his slave contract from Ning Cheng, Deacon Jin would still be tempted. The Tang Sect had been a power that all sides wanted to win over for the past hundred years. Thirty top-secret secret weapons were worth a lot!
In fact, Uncle Cheng was also tempted. Uncle Cheng figured that once they met with Ning Cheng, Ning Jing would be a huge bargaining chip for Ning Cheng and Jun Yi Xie's cooperation.
Gu had already searched through the eastern forests and entered Northern Li. His first reaction upon receiving the news was that Tang Li wasn't reliable. He only wanted Ning Jing and didn't mention Mu Ling 'er at all.
Thus, Gu immediately used his identity as His Excellency Pill Fiend to announce to the world that as long as Mu Ling 'er was returned to him, he was willing to give up the entire Medicine Ghost Valley.
Within a few days, the news had spread all over Cloud Realm Continent. Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er became the subject of everyone's pursuit and discussion. At the same time, they became the envy and jealousy of Cloud Realm Continent's women. Unfortunately, the two foolish women were kept in the dark and knew nothing of the matter.
One day, Gu was preparing to leave Northern Li for Three-Way Black Market when he suddenly received a black letter with red words.
The Book of Pills is unknown …
Gu's devastatingly beautiful face turned black as soon as he read it.
The Book of Pills had many meanings, one of which was used by an emperor to issue orders. This letter contained Long Fei Ye's orders and a warning to him to meet the Poison Sect immediately or face the consequences.
Gu arched a brow and looked at the letter in his hands with disdain. "Do you think I'll go just because you tell me to? Hmph! If I'm going, I'll eat this letter! "
So speaking, he crumpled the letter into a ball and tossed it into a ravine. He turned around and walked away, but he stopped after a few steps. A serious and solemn expression appeared on his frivolous face.
The letter didn't say much beyond asking him to meet the Poison Sect immediately. But Gu understood Long Fei Ye's intentions very well.
Long Fei Ye wanted him to meet the Poison Sect immediately for two reasons: one, to deal with Bai Yanqing as a fellow undying freak, and two, to ask him about his immortality.
Long Fei Ye had always kept his promise to keep his secret, but would he be able to keep it a secret this time?
Actually, he still didn't know how he'd become a Poison Gu Human. He was raised into a freak so that he wouldn't die no matter what illness or injury he suffered. Later on, he discovered that his appearance and body had remained the same as when he was 20 years old.
The legendary Poison Gu Man was immortal, indestructible, and immortal, so he thought he was one.
After the medical conference, Gu Yuntian was locked up. He went to see Gu Yuntian to find out more about this matter. Judging from Gu Yuntian's reaction, he didn't know he was immortal. He was more or less certain that Gu Yuntian had accidentally raised him into a Poison Gu Human.
Over the years, he'd infiltrated the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds many times in search of a way to break the curse, but to no avail.
He'd once joked to Poison Lass that she could save him, but that was just a joke. He'd only sought out the Poison Sect's Poison Woman to use the Poison Sect to topple and destroy Medical City.
Gu Qishao sighed softly before whistling to call for his horse. Then he set off for Medical City.
A few days later, Han Yunxi's group secretly arrived at Medical City. Long Fei Ye really was a sly old fox. Even after they'd reached Medical City, he still ordered several groups of people disguised as him and Han Yunxi to continue on the road to create a false impression. Thus, news of their whereabouts spread all over the place.
In order to ensure their cover, Gu Beiyue met with a few of Medical City's department heads and elders. He learned about the recent situation in Medical City and gave them a few important instructions. Medical City also continued to announce that President Gu Beiyue was in closed door cultivation.
That night, Han Yunxi's group rested in Medical City. They decided to enter the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds tomorrow morning.
After dinner, Gu Beiyue excused himself, saying that he'd forgotten to tell Shen Jueming something, and left first. Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were left alone in the courtyard.
Han Yunxi propped her chin on her hands as she stared at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye glanced at her, then poured a cup of tea for her.
Han Yunxi didn't move, but smiled as she watched.
"This is the latest winter slice. Try it," Long Fei Ye said.
Winter slice was another name for winter tea. Spring tea was as expensive as oil, especially Ming Qian tea. However, winter tea wasn't cheap either.
Half of the winter tea leaves were harvested in the autumn, which meant that the leaves were harvested in the winter. But the best winter tea came from winter buds and winter harvests.
Han Yunxi still didn't move, but she managed to divert Long Fei Ye's attention. She asked, "Is spring tea better than winter tea?"
Han Yunxi used to like drinking tea, but she didn't know much about it. Ever since she'd been with Long Fei Ye, she often drank tea with him, so she'd unknowingly gained a lot of knowledge.
"There's a lot of rain in spring, so the tea leaves are full and moist. As a result, the tea is fragrant, mellow, and long-lasting."
Long Feiye sipped his tea as he explained, his tone leisurely and indifferent. "As for winter leaves, the cold weather means that the tea leaves grow slowly. The leaves are thick and firm, so they lack the bitter taste and have a hint of cold charm. This is especially true for high mountains, where the cold charm is especially obvious."
If someone who didn't know his identity saw his carefree and relaxed demeanor, they might really think he was a reclusive expert who'd seen through the affairs of the world, calculated the hearts of the world, and stood aloof from the world.
But those who knew his identity knew that he not only saw through the affairs of the world, but also understood the hearts of the world. He didn't stand aloof from the world, but held it in the palm of his hand.
No matter how others saw him, Han Yunxi liked his current appearance the most. She couldn't help but want to play a song on the zither to help him drink tea and throw the troubles of the Poison Gu humans to the back of her mind.
"Long Fei Ye, where's that Monarch's Whisper of yours?" Han Yunxi asked. That year at the empress dowager's birthday banquet, Chu Qingge had challenged her to a zither duel, but she'd refused. When she returned to the Duke of Qin's estate, she'd played "Lovers of the Liang" for Long Fei Ye to hear. Back then, she'd used Long Fei Ye's Monarch's Whisper of hers.
Monarch's Whisper, Monarch's Whisper of Time.
"You want to play the zither in Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Gardens?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"No, I'm just asking," Han Yunxi sighed with emotion. "When can we go back to Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Gardens? In another two months, all the plum blossoms will be in full bloom, right? "
"Two months …" Long Fei Ye silently calculated the time. Two months, they probably wouldn't be able to go back.
He had plenty of gardens and gardens, but she had no interest in any of them except Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Gardens. Wasn't he the same?
"Next year, then. Starting from next winter, we'll go there every year to celebrate the New Year," Long Fei Ye promised.
Han Yunxi nodded seriously. The situation in Cloud Realm Continent should have stabilized after a year.
"One year …" Han Yunxi was silently calculating the time as well. As for what it was, only she knew.
Their tea grew cold in the time it took to speak. Tea had to be drunk while it was hot, especially in winter.
Long Fei Ye helped Han Yunxi change her cup, but Han Yunxi immediately changed the subject. "Long Fei Ye, Bai Yanqing is undying and indestructible. How lonely and boring must he be?"
"Will he?" Long Fei Ye asked mildly.
"At least he'll be in pain. If he has a sweetheart, family, or friends, he'll definitely be in pain, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Watching one's loved ones grow old and leave one's side while remaining powerless in the same place. How much pain would he have to endure if he had to personally send away his loved ones?
An undying and indestructible person would only end up being abandoned in the end.
Han Yunxi quickly denied her own thoughts. "Bai Yanqing probably won't."
Bai Yanqing probably had nothing left in his heart. He only had himself.
Long Fei Ye fell silent for a long time before he finally said, "If it was anyone else … they probably would."
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. Gu, that fellow, should be on his way here by now.
