Jade's feelings for her biological mother are very contradictory. On the one hand, she is a close relative of flesh and blood, but on the other hand, she really has no emotional basis.
When she heard Li Fenglan say that he wanted to kill Li Fengyao some time ago, Jade was very hesitant and wondered how she should feel.
Is it too cold-blooded to act too nonchalantly?
Bai Shuyu said it simply. Let the Bai family handle these matters. How should they be handled? It is estimated that before he arrives in Luoyang, this matter about their family will spread. For those in the intelligence business, once their reputation is bad, the business will be over. In the future, the status of the Bai family will be even worse than it was two years ago, and all the hard work of the four siblings will be in vain. Those side branches that finally returned will leave them again.
Although he told Jade decisively, everyone could see that he didn't want to say these words. He wanted to marry Jade, thinking that by staying by Jade's side like a dog, he could make Li Fengyao let go of their family. But he was still wrong. What Li Fengyao needed was a Bai family whose claws had been completely cut off. If it weren't for the relationship between her daughter and him, the Bai family would have ended up in ruins.
Li Fenglan once again felt the powerless exhaustion, and barely managed to win the dispute. Bai Fenghuang of Chaolan Valley even defeated Chen Zijue in strategy, and seemed to have unlimited glory. But only she knew how hard it was.
The three of them were silent all the way, and didn't even return to the leisure hall. They just want to return to Chaolan Valley. It seems that as long as they go back, the trouble will be far away from them.
…
After traveling for several days, Xu Qingchen and Linghan finally returned to the Thorn Gate.
Xu Qingchen had been controlling Ling Han's medicine on the way, but the effect was minimal. In just over a month, the medicine had penetrated deeply into Linghan's bone marrow and was even more difficult to remove than the poison. In other words, the solution to this medicine is simpler than the simplest disease, as long as you don't take it. But how many people in the world can withstand that kind of torture?
After returning to Thorn Gate, Xu Qingchen did not go to Divine Doctor Zhao immediately, but went to find Agarwood Branch first.
Nowadays, the agarwood branch seems to have become a lady who cannot leave the house or step outside the door. I stay in the small garden all day long, playing with cats and drawing. She no longer wears serious black clothes like she used to, nor does she black out all her paintings. She dressed up carefully every day, and her paintings were framed solemnly.
The entire Thorn Sect is almost supported by Feng Yao alone.
When Xu Qingchen rushed to the back garden, Agarwood was painting a picture of a lady. Compared with last year, her painting skills have improved a lot.
Xu Qingchen cupped her fists and raised her hands, saying loudly: "Master!"
Xu Qingchen's voice made the agarwood branch jump. She clutched her chest with lingering fear and frowned: "You are back? What do you want from me?"
Xu Qingchen raised his head and stared into Agarwood's eyes: "Does the sect master know who is behind Yaoxian Valley?"
Chen Xiangzhi nodded and answered without hesitation: "I know, the Li family... The Li family supported a lot of forces back then. Not only the Yaoxian Valley, but also things like Gongshu Clan, Nuyuan, and the Huainan Caravan all belonged to them. What's wrong? "
Xu Qingchen took a step forward: "Then do you know how the old sect leader died?"
Agarwood shook her head: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Xu Qingchen laughed angrily, "Divine Doctor Zhao came from Yaoxian Valley. If I guess correctly, these miracle doctors from Yaoxian Valley will still obey the orders of Yaoxian Valley even if they leave the valley, right? "
Chen Xiangzhi's brows furrowed even more: "You mean... Li Fengyao asked Divine Doctor Zhao to kill the old sect leader? This is impossible, the old sect leader was on their side back then."
"Li Fengyao is crazy!" Xu Qingchen suddenly became furious, "She also wants to kill those who did not try their best to help in the incident! In her heart! The old sect leader! Mo Changfeng! Even Master Zhicheng and Taoist Zhang Chengqing, They are all murderers!"
These words did not surprise Chen Xiangzhi. She continued to lower her head and paint, and said lightly: "That's it...it really suits her character."
Xu Qingchen gritted his teeth hard: "Linghan's body is not weak, but she has not recovered from her miscarriage and has even become weaker and weaker... Master, guess what is the reason for this?"
This sentence shocked Chen Xiangzhi. She raised her head and stared at Xu Qingchen, wondering: "How is that possible? You two have nothing to do with what happened twenty years ago. Why would she want to trouble you?"
"In this arena, she wants to kill many people, but she has no thugs. Master, your time is running out. I will be the next leader. It is not difficult to guess. During this time, , many people in the door said so, and they all saw that you meant to retire. Li Fengyao also saw that she wanted me to be her thug, to be obedient and kill those people she wanted to kill... Linghan is poisoned, and there is no cure for the poison. Now, as long as she does not take the medicine given by Divine Doctor Zhao for three hours, her whole body will convulse, her internal organs will be torn apart, and the bones will be gnawed by thousands of ants..."
Xu Qingchen couldn't talk anymore. Thinking of Linghan's current state, such a good person like him couldn't help but kill.
Agarwood was completely stunned. After a while, she asked: "So you came to me because you want me to deal with Li Fengyao?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "I am not Li Fengyao, and I am not that cold-blooded. Sect Master, Chen Minyue, you are not very old, but you have never experienced the feeling of being a child. Your first half of life was wrapped in hatred, so you had to Think about the problem like an adult. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, you want to use the remaining time to enjoy the beauty of the world... Your battle is over, take a good rest, Thorn Gate... Leave it to me from now on."
Chen Xiangzhi nodded, then smiled: "So you are here to force me into the palace."
Xu Qingchen's face was expressionless: "If you are willing to understand it this way, I have no objection."
Agarwood picked up a brass token from the table and threw it to Xu Qingchen, and said slowly: "Now, the Thorn Gate is yours. Do whatever you want."
Xu Qingchen saluted again: "Thank you very much."
After Xu Qingchen finished speaking, he turned around and left. But as soon as he took two steps, Agarwood stopped him. .
"Master Xu."
Xu Qingchen stopped and turned to look at Agarwood. Agarwood asked, "Is it painful for Ling to hold her...?"
"kindness."
"Feel sorry."
…
Xu Qingchen went straight to the pharmacy after leaving the garden. At this time, Divine Doctor Zhao was teaching two medicine boys how to identify medicines. Seeing Xu Qingchen come in, he smiled and asked, "Hall Master Xu, when did you come back from Huazhou? "
Xu Qingchen did not answer, but walked straight to Divine Doctor Zhao, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him into the yard.
Divine Doctor Zhao doesn't know martial arts, so he was thrown hard this time.
But soon, Divine Doctor Zhao came to his senses. He lay on the ground and covered his broken arm, laughing miserably.
"It seems... you already know... Hall Master Xu, I am loyal to my people with no regrets. If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you."
Xu Qingchen did not kill him immediately, but picked up the collar on the back of his neck and walked towards the main square.
Seeing Xu Qingchen behaving like this, everyone in the door was shocked. They wanted to step forward and ask him about his affair with Divine Doctor Zhao, but they gave up the idea when they saw his cold and murderous eyes. This idea.
A group of people just followed him, wanting to see what he was going to do.
Arriving at the center of the square, Xu Qingchen threw Divine Doctor Zhao on the ground, walked to the big gong on the side, and struck it three times. The sound of the huge gong resounded throughout the Thorn Gate.
Three gongs ring, which means an emergency gathering. Everyone inside the gate has to go to the main square to light the gong.
After half a stick of incense, everyone at the door arrived, including Feng Yao. At this moment, Feng Yao, like everyone else, was a little confused.
Seeing everyone gathered, Xu Qingchen drew out his long sword, put it on Divine Doctor Zhao's neck, and asked loudly: "Zhao Bin! The year before last, you secretly infiltrated Yaoxian Valley to poison the old sect leader! Do you admit this?!"
This statement made everyone whisper in shock. Zhao Bin is in his thirties this year. The old sect leader invited him from Yaoxian Valley a few years ago. He had a good relationship with the old sect leader. Why did he poison the old sect leader?
Zhao Bin looked around and smiled: "Yes, it's me."
When these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Xu Qingchen waited for everyone's noise to end, gritted his teeth and asked, "Old man
The master of the sect treats you well, why are you so vicious? ! "
"Hall Master Xu, I told you, I am a loyal person."
"Who are you loyal to?"
"Sorry, I have no comment."
"Hmph," Xu Qingchen sneered, "Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? The Li family was behind the Yaoxian Valley, and the current Li family only has Li Fengyao. At that time, the old sect leader chose to protect the family. He killed the Bai family instead of the Li family, so Li Fengyao held a grudge! That’s why you poisoned the old sect leader! Is that right?!”
Zhao Bin smiled and was noncommittal.
Xu Qingchen said to everyone in the audience: "Everyone, Zhao Bin, who poisoned the old sect leader, has been caught. Today, I will execute Zhao Bin on behalf of Hall Master Yang Fan and Yang. Brothers, do you have any objections?"
No one had any objections. After all, Zhao Bin had admitted to poisoning the old sect leader.
When no one spoke, Xu Qingchen raised his sword. Zhao Bin suddenly smiled and asked, "I am dead, where is your wife? How many days can she live without my medicine?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "You can't seek skin from a tiger."
After saying that, he waved his long sword, and Zhao Bin's head was separated.
Xu Qingchen bent down and picked up Zhao Bin's head, raised it high, and said loudly: "Zhao Bin is dead, but the old sect leader's revenge has not been avenged! Although our Thorns sect is said to be kind and just, we will not kill if we can." , but the revenge of the old sect master, if I don’t kill the real culprit, I will not be able to sleep peacefully in the future! Everyone! If you still have blood, swear to avenge the old sect master!”
It wasn't until he shouted these words that Feng Yao understood what he meant. The teacher sighed twice. The first sigh was because the old sect leader had finally gotten his revenge, and the second sigh... was because the innocent Xu Qingchen from before would never come back.
Xiong San also had the same mood as Feng Yao.
Xiong San was simple-minded and didn't have so many twists and turns, but he vaguely felt that Xu Qingchen had changed. In the past, Xu Qingchen was not very good at speaking in front of so many people, let alone being so... so inflammatory.
There were already young people around who followed Xu Qingchen and shouted "Revenge for the old sect master". It can be said that the crowd was excited.
Xu Qingchen also felt that he had changed, became colder, and became more like a superior person.
He does not crave power and is not interested in the position of the leader of the Thorn Gate. But if he wanted to stop Li Fengyao and continue to live happily with Linghan for the rest of his life, he had to sit in this seat.
As for Ayahan's illness, he had some concerns.
