When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Qingyang wanted to say something but stopped himself. After thinking about it, he obeyed the order and left to help them find the fire toad.

Before leaving, Qin Yuechuan said, "Tell them that I don't want Yueyue to know about this, so as not to worry her."

Qingyang knew who “they” were, nodded and left.

Somewhere in the courtyard, under an old locust tree, the branches rustled in the autumn wind.

He Xuehuai stood beside Qiu Chu, who was picking medicinal herbs, with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Qiu Chu's back with a frown, saying nothing.

"I say, you little brat, you have been watching me here for a long time. What's so interesting about picking up some medicinal herbs?"

He Xuehuai said in a low voice, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Are you sure you can cure them?"

"That little girl? No problem. If I can cure you, I can definitely cure that little girl too."

Seeing that he avoided answering Qin Yuechuan, He Xuehuai asked: "What about Qin Yuechuan?"

"him……"

Qiu Chu hesitated.

"You are the Poison Saint, but there is a poison that you are helpless against!?"

Qiu Chu put down the herbs he had picked up, patted the remaining medicine crumbs on his palms, walked to the small rattan table next to him, and poured himself a pot of strong tea: "This poison is unusual. Do you know where this poison comes from?"

He Xuehuai frowned and looked inquiringly.

“This poison was actually developed by my great-grandmaster uncle, and I learned about its origin by chance from a broken book on poison.

The poison of the first generation of Frost Blaze was not actually a medicinal herb, but a person."

He Xuehuai's expression changed slightly: "People!?"

"Yes, he is a poisonous person. In summer, he is nourished by cold poisonous herbs, and in winter, he is soaked by hot poisonous herbs. This cycle of cold and hot will last for at least ten years. If he survives, he will have a frost-burning poisonous body.

The blood of that poisonous man is the frost and burning poison.

If you take the Frost and Fire Poison, you will become the next poisoned person.

This method was too vicious, and the master felt that it was against the will of heaven, so he forced the master uncle to ban this poison-making technique, and he had no time to develop an antidote. From then on, it was listed as a forbidden technique, and disciples of the sect were not allowed to practice it. Those who violated it would have their tendons cut off and be expelled from the sect, and would never be allowed to return to the sect for the rest of their lives. "

"That's it, you..."

"I am the master of all the disciples of the Poison Sect, the Great Elder! Who dares to interfere?"

"..." He Xuehuai was speechless, thinking that this old man was too shameless. He actually relied on his status to be "disrespectful to the elderly".

Qiu Chu seemed to have sensed something, and glared at him sideways: "Don't be ungrateful, you little brat. The poison I used to treat you was the only one left in my Poison Sect. It has not been touched for many years. For you, I was forced to interrupt my detoxification method for half my life, and you still have the nerve to ask!

Besides, I am researching detoxification, which benefits the country and the people, and is selfless!"

Listening to his boasting, He Xuehuai rubbed his eyebrows. This was indeed true.

He still had doubts: "You have studied for so many years, but you really have gained nothing? No method to detoxify?"

"It's not completely without benefit. It can be suppressed. When the poison is not taking effect, it can be no different from ordinary people.

The girl and I are working in two different directions. She is balancing the toxins, and I am suppressing them, but the effects should not be too different."

"How long is your life?"

He was not concerned about Qin Yuechuan, but if Yueyue was with him, and if Qin Yuechuan passed away first, she would suffer. What if she became ill from depression?

Qiu Chu was a little embarrassed: "It's hard to say until the poison is completely detoxified."

"Then why did your great-grandmaster develop this poison?"

"I'm not sure. It seems to be for one person. I'm not sure whether it's love or hate. But in my opinion, the creation of such a dehumanizing poison is probably out of hatred."

The two remained silent and said no more.

Qiu Chu sipped the strong tea carefully, his face also looking gloomy.

It is undeniable that he did have selfish motives. The Frost and Burning Poison is hard to find in the world, and having Qin Yuechuan's "poisonous body" would facilitate his research. Naturally, he also hoped that Qin Yuechuan could live a few more years.

Now we can only take one step at a time.

When Xu Xinyue regained consciousness, her whole body seemed to be enveloped by a familiar warm breath.

She remembered that she seemed to be talking to Qin Yuechuan before she fell asleep...

Qin Yuechuan! He must be worried sick.

Xu Xinyue raised her long eyelashes slightly, blinked, and tried to look up.

Qing Yuechuan hugged her, his chin resting lightly on the top of her head. Xu Xinyue moved slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked down into his arms.

Facing a pair of bright eyes.

Xu Xinyue asked anxiously, "Did I...scare you? What's wrong with me?"

Because Qin Yuechuan had no intention of telling her the truth, or telling her the truth about the poison, his reaction was not as intense as Xu Xinyue had expected.

"The doctor He Xuehuai hired said that you haven't recovered from your cold yet, and you've had an unexpected event. You've been a little weak lately, but he said it's okay and he will cure you."

It's not really lying, it's just hiding some facts.

Xu Xinyue nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I think so too. I'll be fine soon."

She raised her head and smiled in response.

Qin Yuechuan stopped talking at this time and stared at her quietly. Even though he tried to hide it calmly, there was still a trace of pain and heaviness between his brows.

Under his gaze, Xu Xinyue felt as if everything she was thinking and feeling had nowhere to hide, and was revealed nakedly in front of him.

She stopped smiling and asked him anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yueyue, He Xuehuai said that you came here to seek medical treatment. But you never told me, not even a word.

Do you think that if you don't let me know, I won't worry.

But truth will come out eventually. If I find out one day, I will only worry about you even more.

Yueyue, please have some pity on me and stop doing this, okay?"

His words were full of earnestness and his eyes were filled with pain, like the surging dark waves hidden beneath a calm ink lake.

His mood would definitely not be as calm as his face showed.

It was Xu Xinyue who was looking up at him, but at that moment it felt like he was begging for her love with an extremely humble and gentle attitude.

Since when did he seem to be extra careful and tender with her, treating her like a treasure?

It seemed no different from usual, yet it was indescribably different.

Xu Xianyue looked ashamed, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

"Yueyue doesn't need to apologize."

Qin Yuechuan hurriedly said: "It must be that I didn't do well enough to make Yueyue unable to trust me and rely on me wholeheartedly. It's because I didn't give her enough sense of security."

These words made Xu Xinyue not know how to respond. She felt that between them, he seemed to lack a greater sense of security.
