Chapter 2, Liu Qin has not forgotten me

Speaking of which, I still owe Lin Qiuxiao many favors. If anything were to happen to him, it would truly be heart-wrenching.

He stared at me with his eyes, the pupils shimmering like black jade: "However, this Su Ying, also known as Young Master Ye, is not an ordinary male concubine of Liu Qin! It is said that Liu Qin has been searching for him almost to the point of madness over the past year. In order to take revenge for him, she has openly and secretly opposed the Iron Blood Gang, not knowing how many battles have been fought! It turns out, he is in the valley beneath the Snow Willow Palace!"

Ninth Young Master immediately became very interested: "Quick, give it to me! I want it!"

Do you know him? It seems you care about him quite a bit! As expected of a master and disciple, at this moment, the Ninth Young Master is looking at me with a face full of flattery, almost identical to that of the Poison King.

However, I truly do not believe that the Poison King is anxious about the poison in Lin Qiuxiao; it seems more like he is excited about the sudden return of the Ninth Young Master

However, if my appearance is restored, I will certainly return to Liu Qin's side at the first opportunity. With his skills and the influence of the Xueliu Palace, even if the Ninth Young Master tries to take advantage of me, no matter how adept he is with poison, he will only end up suffering for it

By the time dinner was served, it was already dark outside. I removed my veil and had dinner with the Poison King and Young Master Jiu.

At this moment, the Poison King said: "I have a type of Snow Spirit Pill that can temporarily suppress the residual poison within Xiao Su's body, preventing any outbreak for three to five days."

Liu Qin? Young Master Xueliu? Although the Poison King lives in seclusion in the mountains, he has heard a bit about it and is astonished to say: "Liu Qin is a man"

I stared at him without flinching or avoiding his gaze

However, I cannot understand how the assassins of the Qingtian Houfu could be connected to the disciples of the Poison King Moreover, the way the Ninth Young Master looked at him is not so simple

He looked at me slyly and chuckled, "I fear you might still be an ugly monster, right? Otherwise, you would have long since fallen into Liu Qin's embrace!"

Ninth Young Master laughed heartily: "Old man, you are unaware that these days it is fashionable to have a severed sleeve. Wealthy families of status all enjoy keeping a few male concubines"

After finishing the meal and going to see Lin Qiuxiao, the crimson hue on his body had mostly faded, but he was still in a deep sleep. I intended to wait for him to wake up to ask what had happened, but the Ninth Young Master was closely following behind me, making me feel as if I had a thorn in my back

This arrogant little brat, how could he possibly treat the affliction of a thousand autumns so easily? If he is so capable, why can't he even cure Lin Qiuxiao's poison? One wonders what the Poison King has taught him!

At this moment, I no longer cared who had struck, and hurriedly helped the Poison King carry Lin Qiuxiao inside, assisting in unbuttoning his clothes for examination, but I was already filled with alarm at what I saw

"Originally a handsome man, he has turned into this!" Young Master Jiu exclaimed in exasperation, urging the Poison King, "What do you think? You are the Poison King; you should be able to handle the poison of that old man Qianji, right?"

I... I should also be content!

The Young Master of the Snow Willow... The Ninth Young Master sighed softly, slowly lifting my veil

Liu Qin, Liu Qin

No, no! The Poison King pulled me aside and said with a smile, "It's that beautiful young man we saved last autumn, named Su Ying. Have you forgotten?"

I do not want it!" I said coldly, returning to the humble little house where I lived on the other side.

In my current state, if I do not frighten him into taking two steps back, it would mean that his psychological endurance is quite strong. Let us see if he still dares to act recklessly!

The Ninth Young Master suddenly realized: "Ah, is it the one that was originally very beautiful but later became an ugly monster?"

The detestable villain, upon seeing his disciple, acted like a mouse encountering a cat, bowing and scraping as he said: "His appearance is not... not without its challenges..."

As I was in doubt, the Ninth Young Master had already fixed his gaze upon my veil and asked, "Who are you? A new disciple taken in by the old man?"

It is indeed heard that there is a peculiar poison expert named Qian Jizi in the Sichuan and Yunnan region, but it is unknown that the deadly poison known as Qianqiu Fugu was also provided to the Iron Blood Gang by him

I have lost interest. After three to five days, if it remains the same, what is the point?

I do not know how much Lin Qiuxiao knows about his identity as a killer, nor do I understand the nature of their current relationship. Adhering to the principle that saying more leads to more mistakes and saying less leads to fewer mistakes, I chose to say nothing at all, lazily glanced at him, and returned to my room.

The Poison King, fearing that the Ninth Young Master might go hungry, occasionally placed mountain mushrooms and game into the Ninth Young Master's bowl; yet the Ninth Young Master merely gazed at me with drooling anticipation, as if I were the very thing he wished to swallow whole.

The Ninth Young Master indeed took two steps back, then glared at the Poison King with resentment: "Old man, you wouldn't intentionally refuse to help little Su'er, would you? This minor Qianqiu Bone Poison has been treated for a year, and it still looks like this?"

Lin Qiuxiao's entire body had almost turned a deep crimson, with even her eyes radiating a terrifying red hue, yet lacking focus, clearly indicating that her mind was in disarray. Her bloodless lips were parted, gasping for breath.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su'er... Sigh, why do you always ignore me?" The Ninth Young Master wore a face of gloom, leaving me both amused and exasperated

This is the first time I have heard news of Liu Qin in nearly a year, and I can only feel my heart racing and a wave of bitterness in my eyes

The Poison King pierced dozens of golden needles into Lin Qiuxiao's body, then prepared a concoction and forced it into Lin Qiuxiao's mouth. As he watched the golden needles gradually turn black and moist, slowly dripping black liquid, the crimson hue on Lin Qiuxiao's body began to fade. Only then did the Ninth Young Master feel relieved, and I also secretly let out a sigh of relief

The Poison King wiped his sweat and replied repeatedly, "I can solve it, I can solve it!"

I turned my head to look at him, and the Ninth Young Master's eyes also brightened, clearly indicating ill intentions

He has not forgotten me after all

"The Iron Blood Gang is indeed full of hidden talents!" Young Master Jiu exclaimed loudly, his originally handsome face now somewhat twisted. "Damn it, even the most famous Qianji old man from the Sichuan and Yunnan regions has joined them! No wonder last year Young Master Xueliu suffered a great loss at their hands!"
