Chapter 435 Thank you for your selflessness
The next day, the sun was high in the sky, and sunlight streamed into the room through the window, creating a lazy and tranquil atmosphere.
Qi Yuxuan gently pushed open the door, carefully avoiding making any noise that might wake Qiu Ziyue, who was still fast asleep.
He put on his coat, stepped out of the house, leaving behind a sense of gentleness and peace.
A moment later, Li Cunxu, Qiu Langyu, and Leng Feng arrived together.
When they entered the room, they initially looked like they were there to interrogate them.
But when their eyes fell on Qi Yuxuan applying liniment, their expressions froze instantly.
Qi Yuxuan's lips were swollen and his body was covered with bruises, as if he had been through a fierce battle.
"What are you doing...?"
Li Cunxu spoke first, his tone filled with disbelief.
Qiu Langyu and Leng Feng exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
Leng Feng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Looks like last night was quite lively!"
Qi Yuxuan raised his head, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
"What brings you all here? Did you come here just to laugh at me?"
His voice carried a hint of bitterness, but more so a self-deprecating calm.
Li Cunxu shook his head and sighed:
"I originally intended to confront you, but seeing you like this, forget it, I'd rather not be a drug user."
Qiu Langyu picked up the conversation, his tone gentle yet full of meaning: "Thank you for sacrificing yourself to protect all of us."
Qi Yuxuan said:
"Brother Leng, did you conspire with them to create opportunities for Cunxu?"
Leng Feng maintained his usual indifferent demeanor, only a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he remained silent.
However, when Qi Yuxuan turned his gaze to him, he slowly spoke:
"Don't misunderstand, I meant that people with a pure Yang constitution have better detoxification effects, not that people who are not pure Yang cannot detoxify."
"what?"
Qi Yuxuan's eyes widened, then he pointed at Leng Feng in a fit of rage.
"You, Leng, what nonsense about pure Yang! It's utterly absurd!"
Leng Feng raised an eyebrow and answered slowly and deliberately:
"I just wanted to make it more effective. You misunderstood me. It has nothing to do with me."
Qi Yuxuan was speechless for a moment, and could only grit his teeth and mutter:
"You guys are infuriating! Ziyue was a madwoman last night, a domestic abuser..."
"Oh well, consider it retribution for hitting her before. Let's call it even!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed in unison.
Li Cunxu patted Qi Yuxuan on the shoulder and smiled:
"Yu Xuan, I hope Zi Yue's poison can be cured."
Qiu Langyu looked at him meaningfully and said softly:
"Zhu Wen and the Khitans are indeed vicious. It seems we need to be more vigilant."
Li Cunxu didn't say anything more, he just stood there quietly, looking out the window with a complicated expression.
The sunlight fell on his face, softening his otherwise aloof demeanor.
The room gradually quieted down, leaving only the sound of Qi Yuxuan continuing to apply the medicinal wine.
He looked up at the crowd and suddenly smiled with relief:
"I hope Twilight Sparkle is feeling better. Next, let's try to find an antidote for the One-Month Soul-Severing Pill for her."
As evening approached, Qiu Ziyue gradually woke up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes and remembered what had happened the night before. In the dim light, she saw Li Cunxu:
"Cunxu, I'm sorry. You're not angry with me for last night, are you?"
Li Cunxu said, "I was very angry at first, but when I saw Yuxuan's expression, I wasn't so angry anymore."
"What's wrong with Yuxuan?"
"Hey, you can go and see for yourself."
"Cunxu, please take me to see this quickly."
With Li Cunxu's help, Qiu Ziyue arrived at Qi Yuxuan's room, where Qi Yuxuan was resting.
When Qiu Ziyue saw Qi Yuxuan, she vaguely noticed that Qi Yuxuan's lips were red, swollen, and bruised, and she instantly understood what was going on.
"Yu Xuan, I'm sorry, I was poisoned and offended you. I apologize."
Qi Yuxuan smiled:
"Twilight Sparkle, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters. We're husband and wife, so let's not stand on ceremony."
"I never imagined that those melodramatic plots from TV dramas would actually happen to me, leaving me in such a sorry state."
Zhu Wen, Shulu Mingyao, you just wait, I will make you pay the price!
Qiu Ziyue said angrily.
Li Cunxu, however, said:
"Okay, Twilight Sparkle, don't be angry. Be good, I'll give you acupuncture in a bit, and you'll get better and better."
Everyone was overjoyed to see that Qiu Ziyue's poison had been largely neutralized, and they sat together and enjoyed a delicious dinner.
Zhu Wen, far away in Bianliang, heard from his spies that all four evil gods had been subdued, with two dead and two wounded.
Zhu Wen angrily said:
"Immediately have Yun Youzi arrange the next steps. I refuse to believe we can't defeat Li Cunxu and his men."
Yun Youzi, the legendary and unpredictable master of the Four Evil Gods, has always acted in a strange and unpredictable manner.
After receiving Zhu Wen's secret order, a barely perceptible sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
He was well aware of the deeper meaning and risks hidden behind this order.
As night fell, the Prince of Jin's residence was brightly lit, and the guards patrolled in a strict and orderly manner.
However, for a peerless master like Yun Youzi, these were nothing more than empty words.
He moved like a ghost, silently sneaking into the depths of the mansion.
Each step treads on the edge of shadow, as if merging with the night.
Upon arriving at his destination—near the Prince of Jin's palace—he took out an object from his sleeve: a black bead that exuded a chilling aura.
This item is called the "Soul-Devouring Pearl," which he painstakingly crafted over many years. It contains a potent poison that can corrupt the mind.
If he succeeds, the Prince of Jin will become a powerless puppet in Zhu Wen's hands.
But at that moment, a slight yet sharp sound of wind breaking suddenly came!
Yun Youzi was prepared and dodged the attack with a flash, while his eyes scanned the surroundings like lightning.
Several dark figures swiftly leaped out.
It turned out to be Qiu Tianya, Qiu Ruoshui, Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Langyu, and Leng Feng.
"Hmph, as expected, you were prepared."
Yun Youzi sneered, advancing instead of retreating, his hands forming a hand seal that seemed to distort the surrounding air.
This is his unique secret technique, the "Chaotic Maze Array." Anyone caught in it will either lose their way or, worse, kill each other.
As he moved, the entire space seemed to descend into chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Youzi gradually approached the Prince of Jin's palace.
Qiu Tianya and the others immediately realized that something was wrong and became alert.
Qiu Tianya shouted loudly:
"Everyone be careful, don't be fooled by his formation!"
However, the power of the Chaos Maze Array had gradually spread, and the surrounding scenery began to become blurred.
Qiu Ruoshui tried to calm herself down, but found that her vision was also starting to blur.
A series of eerie sounds reached her ears, making her feel dizzy.
Qi Yuxuan gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes resolute, and said:
"We must find a way to break the formation as soon as possible, otherwise we will all be trapped here."
He looked around, trying to find the weakness of the formation.
Qiu Langyu quickly unleashed his movement techniques, attempting to break free from the formation's constraints.
He moved like lightning, leaving afterimages in the air, but each attempt was bounced back by an invisible force.
Leng Feng said in a deep voice:
"We cannot fight alone; we must unite to find an opportunity to break through their defenses."
He brandished his twin swords, protecting the crowd in case of any unforeseen events.
Just then, Yun Youzi suddenly appeared in front of them, a smug smile on his lips.
He slowly said, "You have been controlled by the formation, don't even think about surviving."
Although Qiu Ziyue was not present, her heart was closely connected with these companions.
She knew that only if they could successfully break the formation could they protect the safety of the Prince of Jin's residence.
This contest has only just begun, and the outcome is still uncertain.
