Chapter 1706: 1706: Toxicity Has Already Developed
Hearing their words, Brother Zhen’s eyes slightly darkened.
How could it not? Gu Qingyu aims to put the entire Qingyun Sect on the fire rack to roast. Her vanity alone seeks to drag the whole Sect down with her.
If either Lord Yan or King Qian had shown the slightest interest in her, it might have been a different story.
But as it stands, they haven’t even spared her an extra glance, obviously displaying their extreme distaste for her. Is she so clueless about others’ annoyance with her that she thinks, just because she has some skills, everyone will heed her?
“It depends on what decision the Great Elder will make,” he said, taking a deep breath.
Gu Qingyu has been spoiled by the Great Elder since she was young, spoiled to the point where she is lawless and considers herself paramount. This bitter fruit must now be swallowed by the Great Elder himself.
“The Great Elder?”
At the mention of the Great Elder, everyone fell silent.
He’s one to bully the weak and fear the strong. If he hears that his granddaughter has offended a prince from the Xiang Dynasty, he shouldn’t be as arrogant as he is in the Qingyun Sect, should he?
“When we get back to the Xiang Dynasty, I’ll contact the Revered Master. This matter will be decided by him,” Brother Zhen said.
He felt powerless concerning Gu Qingyu and could only hope that the Revered Master would make the right decision, rein in the Great Elder, and prevent the Qingyun Sect from facing total annihilation.
…
On An Jiuyue’s side.
Qian Jiyun withdrew his consciousness from his space, glanced at An Jiuyue still refining medicinal pills, chuckled lightly, stood up, and walked over to her side.
“What would you like to eat? I’ll cook for you.”
“Braised pork,” An Jiuyue replied without hesitation.
She had been craving braised pork today, and even mentioned it in passing to Wei Na, who had teased her for it.
“All right.”
Qian Jiyun immediately responded and left the room.
Before he left, concerned that something might happen, he set up a Restriction on the door to prevent anyone from disturbing An Jiuyue’s medicine refinement.
“Master, there are a hundred kinds of ingredients; how many have you put in so far? I can’t keep track,” Wei Na said, looking at the herbs on the table and, relying on his sensitive nose, sniffed the scent emanating from the medicinal furnace and asked softly.
“Not many yet; it hasn’t been long,” An Jiuyue replied, focusing her spiritual power on the pill-refining furnace.
“But it has already become poisonous,” Wei Na noted.
“I know,” An Jiuyue was well aware. Indeed, it had become poisonous. Although the antidote was meant to counteract poison, the method of using poison to fight poison meant that it was inherently crafted as poison.
“Keep a close watch, don’t let the poison spread,” she added.
Upon hearing this, Wei Na pouted slightly.
Of course, he knew. Whether the poison spread elsewhere was not his concern, but his master couldn’t be exposed to even a hint of it, so naturally, he was very attentive and had to keep a close eye on it.
“I’ve been watching all along, this medicine…”
Suddenly, he paused in mid-sentence, blinked at the Points Mall, and blinked again.
“Master, there are ten more inter-plane travel vouchers available in the Points Mall, do you want to buy them? We still have quite a few on hand; should we skip this time?”
“Of course, buy them,” An Jiuyue answered immediately.
How could she not buy? Points were not an issue at the moment, and with inter-plane travel vouchers available this time, who knows if they would be obtainable again? If they’re there, buy them.
