Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Could It Be a Demon?
Qi Yue had waited all day, not seeing Hu Chengxuan, and knew for sure that sothing must have gone wrong.
“Master, did you give Hu Chengxuan a lot of Relief dicine?”
Huang Zai’an shook his head repeatedly.
“No, when I left, I saw with my own eyes that he was about to suffer from the poisoning.”
While speaking, Huang Zai’an grabbed his sparse beard and tugged at it repeatedly before finally saying, “He couldn’t have lasted long, could it be…”
Qi Yue instantly understood what he ant.
“Master ans soone else relieved Hu Chengxuan’s poisoning for him.”
Huang Zai’an twirled his beard.
“Why couldn’t it be an antidote?”
Qi Yue snorted coldly.
“I am certain no one can cure my poison unless…”
“Unless what?” Huang Zai’an pressed.
“Unless it’s impossible.” Qi Yue curled the corners of her lips.
Unless soone, like her, had ti-traveled here, or ca from a more advanced ti, they would at least need to be a general practitioner like her.
Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible.
At that mont, Huang Zai’an suddenly laughed.
“As your master, I also think it’s impossible. This poison is ingeniously crafted and even precisely controls the ti of affliction. Just how did you manage to do it?”
Qi Yue rolled her eyes.
“What, you want to pry into the secrets? Or do you want to learn from your disciple?”
“? Learn from you? Humph!” Huang Zai’an snorted, “You better think about how to handle this matter. How did you administer the poison to Hu Chengxuan, and might he guess it was you?”
Qi Yue scoffed.
“So what if he guesses? If he wants to cure the poison, he still has to co to . The more Relief dicine he takes, the harder the poison is to cure. Hu Chengxuan is digging his own grave!”
“Disciple, can’t you lower your demands a bit and give the antidote to Hu Chengxuan? He is responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Longnan.”
“Maybe that would have been possible before, but now that he has the Relief dicine, if he wants to act, I can’t lessen any of the three conditions.”
“Why?”
“I suspect that the person who gave him the Relief dicine is Qing Nanzun.”
“That person from Donggao?”
“Master, Qing Nanzun is a retainer of the Fox King of Donggao. His Relief dicine is certainly not easy to obtain.”
Thinking this, Qi Yue could no longer sit still.
“No, I need to make a trip to the Hu Family!”
Huang Zai’an quickly stood up to stop her.
“Disciple, with your skills, it won’t be easy to escape if you get discovered. Let your master go instead.”
Qi Yue waved her hands repeatedly.
“Master, no one can discover . Just stay at ho, I’ll be back soon.”
Having said that, she imdiately went back to her room to change into a set of Night Travel Clothes.
When she ca out, several guards of various sizes were already standing outside the door.
Huang Zai’an tried again, “Disciple, I see that these few guards of yours are quite skilled. Why not let them go?”
The guards also stepped forward one after another, eagerly promoting their capabilities.
The skinniest, who was best at Qinggong, pleaded earnestly, “Master, perhaps I should accompany you in case of any contingency, so I can get you to safety in ti.”
Ha, Zhao Xiyan’s n are of course not bad, Qi Yue thought dismissively to herself.
She glanced at the skinny man whose body seed so light it could float away any mont and coldly refused.
“No need, I will go alone. Also, if any of you dares to follow, leave my residence imdiately!”
Her visit to the Hu family was not only to gather information; she might also feel tempted to snatch sothing.
How could she use her space with these people following her?
Just as she was about to leave, thinking that Qing Nanzun had arrived and might co to sabotage, she returned and gave a detoxification pill to Huang Zai’an that she had prepared earlier.
She inford Huang Zai’an about so of Qing Nanzun’s background and asked him to guard the house well. She did not notice that the skinny man among those of various heights and builds had swiftly escaped the residence.
“Master, you can’t say I haven’t cared for you, this pill can detoxify a hundred poisons.”
Holding it in his hand, Huang Zai’an looked at it delightedly for a while.
“Is this girl really my disciple? How can she be so capable?”
Qi Yue rolled her eyes.
“Praising but also including yourself? That’s really interesting.”
“How so? Aren’t you my disciple?” Huang Zai’an said with a face that showed he was ready to vehently insist on it.
“Yes, yes, yes, you are my master, alright then. Please take care of them and guard the house well.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to !”
Seeing Huang Zai’an’s wholehearted promise, Qi Yue finally left with peace of mind.
Considering Qing Nanzun’s way of conducting himself in society, if he really had established a connection with Hu Chengxuan, he would surely have guessed by now that she was the one who had poisoned him.
Either looking for an antidote or creating mischief, these two would team up against her.
If they really ca, with both the diverse group and Huang Zai’an here, it would be enough to deal with them and she could take the opportunity to turn Hu Family’s house upside down!
At this mont, the ti had reached 11 PM to 1 AM, and the entire Longnan County Governnt had fallen into a deep sleep. Qi Yue swiftly arrived at the low wall in the backyard of the Hu Family, the sa place she had entered last ti.
She was imdiately dumbfounded as she looked up.
Hu Chengxuan, that rascal, had raised the backyard wall to a total of ten ters high!
It seed her last raid, emptying Hu Chengxuan’s bedroom and study, made him feel insecure, so he had raised the walls to thwart thieves.
“You bastard, underestimating ? Am I just an ordinary thief?”
Qi Yue cursed harshly, then pulled out a climbing rope from her space.
This was the most modern climbing equipnt bought from the store; the rope had fuzzy claws at one end, providing strong suction power, swinging and sticking wherever it was thrown.
With a click, she fastened the buckle around her waist, then tossed the two ropes up over the wall, and dashed up the wall.
Following this thod, in less than a minute, she was already in the Hu Family’s backyard.
When Zhao Xiyan arrived, he just saw how agilely she climbed up the wall; then with a wave of her hand, the two thick ropes instantly disappeared.
At that mont, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Worried about being spotted, he followed closely, intending to protect her at a critical mont.
But what he saw next was even more astonishing.
She had just been by the flower tree near the wall, and in the blink of an eye, she had moved to the window on the opposite side.
What kind of skill was this? He had never heard her ntion it before.
Just then, a servant carrying a lantern ca by. Seeing her with nowhere to hide, he was about to rush out to cover for her, but saw her suddenly disappear from the spot.
Just as he was amazed, the servant passed by, and Qi Yue suddenly reappeared in the sa place.
This scene left him even more horrified.
He could confirm that there was no such skill in the world.
He had long suspected that she was not the sa Qi Yue, and this scene completely confird it!
Then who exactly was she?
No, no one is like her.
Could she be a demon?
Legends say that demons have the ability to transform, capable of disappearing and appearing in an instant.
But that didn’t seem right either. If she were a demon, why would she need external help to climb the wall?
Suddenly, he rembered the room he saw when Qi Yue was treating him, the one with the sun and strange objects in white.
That place clearly didn’t resemble this world.
Maybe she was a demon who couldn’t perform qinggong and needed external help to climb walls?
As he pondered, he saw Qi Yue swiftly move toward a courtyard, and he hurried to follow her.
