Chapter 126 The Living Dead, Flesh and Bones

It smells like poison.

Yes, that's right. The slow-acting poison that Yan Jue had previously discovered on Lu Qingjia's body was administered by Lu Qingxiao.

From the moment his mother died, from the moment his father showed favoritism, he was no longer the same Lu Qingxiao.

He secretly poisoned Lu Qingjia.

This poison can remain dormant in Lu Qingjia's body indefinitely, and most doctors would not be able to detect its presence.

unless……

A fierce glint flashed across Lu Qingxiao's face. So what if someone found out? No one would suspect that he was the one who poisoned her!

"Xueying, do you want to stay here, or come with me?"

Lu Qingxiao looked at Xueying, who was waiting quietly and obediently to the side, and spoke in a neutral tone.

Xueying roared, and Lu Qingxiao frowned, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Alright, I respect your choice. I will take this boy back to the Phantom Pavilion."

"Roar—" Xueying rubbed the ground with her feet, indicating that she understood Lu Qingxiao's meaning.

Lu Qingxiao vanished in a flash, carrying Lu Qingjia away. At the same time, the porcelain bowl filled with Lu Qingjia's blood also disappeared.

Xueying greedily inhaled the pervasive scent of blood in the air, her golden eyes fixed on Lu Qingxiao's departing figure, her pupils reflecting the azure sky.

It shook its tail helplessly, and with a "whoosh," upon closer inspection, it actually transformed into a man.

He was dressed in snow-white clothes, with faint golden characters occasionally appearing between his brows. When he looked up again, his golden eyes shone with golden light, as if to illuminate the entire mountain forest.

The faintly visible characters were the words "Ancient Sentiment".

He greedily inhaled the pungent smell of blood in the air, then stretched out his snow-white fingers to gently wipe the ground where the blood had just flowed.

He actually put his blood-stained finger in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"I've never seen this kind of poison before."

The man's voice was hoarse, yet it had a subtle, pleasing quality.

"I wonder what kind of poison Lu Qingxiao gave that child, but... does Lu Qingxiao really think he has tamed me?"

Lu Qingxiao, who had just been there, had disappeared with Lu Qingjia in his arms. He certainly wouldn't have imagined that the white tiger he had let roam freely in the mountains would be nourished by the spiritual energy of the mountain, not only gaining intelligence but also transforming into human form.

And she gave herself a name, Guqing.

"snort!"

However, he still had a contract with Lu Qingxiao, so he had no choice but to compromise and remain in beast form to lower Lu Qingxiao's guard.

But this poison...

The ancient charm is quite interesting.

He is also highly skilled in poisons.

Lu Qingxiao, who was carrying Lu Qingjia down the mountain, had no idea what happened after he left. All he wanted to do was get Lu Qingjia away as quickly as possible.

Lu Qingxiao was also a member of the General's Mansion, so his martial arts skills were naturally quite good.

Soon, he arrived in front of a towering pavilion.

The surroundings were deserted, with only the rustling sound of autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves.

Lu Qingxiao's eyes darkened, and he stood in front of the pavilion door, saying in a deep voice, "Why aren't you opening the door for me yet?"

The guards behind the gate of the Illusion Pavilion noticed the commotion and were about to take action when they suddenly heard that familiar voice, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from their foreheads.

Xumi immediately opened the door, and upon seeing that it was indeed the Pavilion Master standing outside, he immediately knelt on the ground, speaking respectfully.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master. I was blind and didn't recognize you. I will open the door for you immediately."

Lu Qingxiao has more important things to do now and doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.

He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Get up, go make a cup of tea and prepare a basin of hot water."

Upon receiving the order, Xumi glanced at Lu Qingjia in Lu Qingxiao's arms as he stood up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

But he didn't dare to ask any questions and immediately went to do as Lu Qingxiao instructed.

Lu Qingxiao coldly glanced at Xumi's back. He wasn't blind, so he naturally noticed that glance.

But he didn't care about that. He immediately flashed into a side room of the Void Pavilion and placed Lu Qingjia on the bed inside.

At this moment, Xumi also brought the hot water. He glanced at the boy who had been placed on the bed by the Pavilion Master, but only for a moment, before immediately putting down the hot water and tea and walking out the door.

You're smart to know what's good for you.

Lu Qingxiao watched Xumi's departing figure and coldly closed the door.

Blood foam still lingered at the corner of the boy's mouth. Although the bleeding had stopped after applying wound medicine to the wound on his wrist, the wound remained.

He didn't want anyone to see the wound on Lu Qingjia's hand, so he immediately shouted towards the door:

"Xumi, bring me the white flesh and bone!"

Xumi, who had just stepped out the door and was still trembling with fear, was suddenly called out and was startled. He then immediately replied, "Okay!"

He walked to the pharmacy of the Shadow Pavilion, found the bottle labeled "White Flesh Bone" at the familiar counter, and then immediately went outside.

"Master, I have placed the white meat bone outside the door."

What is White Flesh and Bone? White Flesh and Bone is something that can bring the dead back to life and restore their bones. The Pavilion Master must be doing something inside, that's why he doesn't dare to go in!

Who knew...

The next moment, a voice came from inside.

"You left the medicine bottle outside, did you expect me to go out and get it myself? Come in!"

Startled, Xumi broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly opened the door, respectfully presenting the white flesh and bones to Lu Qingxiao.

"Sect Master, Sumeru personally delivered it to you."

She even had a fawning smile on her face.

Lu Qingxiao pretended not to see it. He coldly accepted the white flesh bone, then waved to Xumi, indicating that he could leave.

Xumi smiled helplessly and immediately walked out like a lackey.

As soon as he stepped outside, he patted his chest and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

That was terrifying! He saw that the little boy brought in by the sect leader had such a large wound on his wrist!

Xumi immediately understood why the Pavilion Master had taken out the White Flesh Bone; it turned out that the Pavilion Master wanted to heal the boy's wounds.

But why is the Pavilion Master being so kind?

In Sumeru's eyes, Lu Qingxiao was nothing but a demon from hell, and had absolutely nothing to do with the word "kind-hearted person".

So when he saw Lu Qingxiao actually take out the white flesh bone to save people, he was so surprised!

But thinking about it, it has nothing to do with him. He, Sumi, is just a worker's soul working for the Pavilion Master!

Lu Qingxiao, who was in the room, had already picked up the medicine bottle and placed it in his hand.

He carefully opened the bottle, sprinkled out a little powder, and applied it to the boy's wrist wound.

Seemingly due to pain, Lu Qingjia let out a few soft cries while unconscious.

Seemingly out of fear of pain, her wrist involuntarily pulled back.
