Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhaixing immediately cried out in alarm, "No!"

"puff!"

However, just as Sikong Zhaixing uttered these words, his body trembled violently, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

At the same time, as he coughed up blood, Sikong Zhaixing instantly became weak and listless.

Before Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou could react, three more mouthfuls of blood vomited out.

Sensing the situation, Hua Manlou's expression changed, and he quickly raised his hand to place it on Sikong Zhaixing's wrist again.

After a few breaths, Hua Manlou took a light breath and said, "The antidote pill made from the thousand-year-old snow lotus can only suppress the poison for thirty breaths. What kind of poison is this?"

Upon hearing Hua Manlou mention the words "thousand-year-old snow lotus," Lu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed.

The thousand-year-old snow lotus is known as a holy medicine for detoxification, with the effect of curing all poisons.

Of all the poisons Lu Xiaofeng knew, there were only a dozen or so that even the thousand-year-old snow lotus couldn't cure.

Not to mention, as it is now, the poison can only be suppressed for a few dozen breaths.

It is conceivable how potent the poison in Sikong Zhaixing's body was at this moment.

In response, Lu Xiaofeng stopped his earlier playful banter and asked in a serious tone, "Who exactly poisoned you?"

Supported by Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing spoke with difficulty: "South of the city, the third street near the city gate, the Chu residence."

As soon as the last word was uttered, Sikong Zhaixing could no longer hold on and fainted.

Taking in Sikong Zhaixing's current situation, Lu Xiaofeng frowned deeply.

How much longer can he hold on?

Hua Manlou, standing to the side, said in a solemn tone, "Before taking the antidote pill, he could last for about four days, but now, he might only last four hours."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Hua Manlou said, "I misdiagnosed him before. The antidote pill made from the thousand-year-old snow lotus did not suppress the poison in his body. Instead, it was devoured by the poison in his body, thus increasing its toxicity. This is the first time in all these years that I have encountered such a special poison that can devour other medicines. It is truly terrifying."

With that, Hua Manlou sighed, "It seems that the only option now is to find the person who poisoned us. However, it appears that these nine kinds of medicine may not be enough."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Let's try it first! We can't just let him get into trouble like this!"

After saying that, Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking and carried Sikong Zhaixing on his back. Together with Hua Manlou, they jumped out of the window and quickly moved towards the south of the city.

Soon, as the two used their light-footed skills, Lu Xiaofeng, who was in the air, spotted Chu Qinghe's residence.

After carrying Sikong Zhaixing on his back and teleporting to the entrance of the mansion, Hua Manlou asked, "Is this the place?"

Lu Xiaofeng hummed in agreement, then slowly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A few moments later, as the two waited, a voice came from inside the door.

The next second, as the door was opened, an incredibly beautiful face immediately came into Lu Xiaofeng's view.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw that the person who opened the door was so beautiful and charming, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, when Lu Xiaofeng saw Qu Feiyan open the door, Qu Feiyan's gaze quickly swept over Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou in front of her, and then landed on Sikong Zhaixing on Hua Manlou's back.

"Hmm? Sikong Zhaixing?"

After her gaze lingered briefly on Lu Xiaofeng's back, Qu Feiyan asked crisply, "Who are you looking for?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng said, "Please inform the young lady that Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, requests an audience."

"Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou?"

Upon learning the identities of the two people in front of her, Qu Feiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, then said, "Wait a minute!" before closing the door again.

The next second, both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou sensed the fluctuations of true energy from the early stage of the Innate Realm inside.

The moment he sensed the fluctuation of true energy, Hua Manlou sighed and said, "Even a maid who opens the door is at the early stage of the Innate Realm. It seems that Sikong Zhaixing has really offended someone she shouldn't have this time."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh at this.

But when he looked up at the two characters "Chu Residence" on the plaque, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, inside the courtyard, upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lianxing asked with a hint of surprise, "Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou? Why are they here?"

Yaoyue said calmly, "Because Sikong Zhaixing came."

However, while the other girls understood the reason given by Chu Qinghe, Keqinxing, who had only arrived in the courtyard yesterday, was naturally even more puzzled by what Chu Qinghe said.

Upon seeing this, the Water Mother Yin Ji briefly recounted to Lian Xing what had happened with Si Kong Zhai Xing.

Chu Qinghe, standing to the side, gestured to Qu Feiyan, "Bring them in!"

"oh!"

Qu Feiyan nodded in acknowledgment, then quickly turned and walked towards the front yard.

As Qu Feiyan walked outside, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "It's a few days faster than I expected."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji immediately discerned another layer of meaning in Chu Qinghe's words.

However, before Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji could speak, Chu Qinghe waved his sleeve, and a burst of energy shot out from under his sleeve, stirring up a gentle breeze in the courtyard.

The next second, when Qu Feiyan returned to the inner courtyard, two more figures appeared behind her.

Upon seeing the newcomer, both Jellyfish Yin Ji and Yao Yue could only suppress their doubts.

Facing renowned prodigies like Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, Chu Qinghe also raised his gaze slightly to look at the two.
