Chapter 176 Fortunately, we arrived in time

Yan Qingqiu walked closer and took a look, then said disdainfully, "It doesn't look that unusual."

"It's really not that strange. It's just a short dagger. When you encounter those poisons that have no antidote, stab one side and the poison in the other side will be cured." The Taoist priest explained as he walked slowly over.

After hearing what he said, Yan Qingqiu stopped talking and walked aside.

"Can you peel an apple?" An Yan asked.

"Anything is fine." The Taoist chuckled and said, "You should go back. It's already the ninth day. Aren't you in a hurry?"

"I thought you've only been here for one day." Li Rongsen was surprised.

The Taoist smiled but said nothing. When he saw the monk coming over, he said, "Come on, I'll lead you out."

"Can I come again in the future?" An Yan asked. She had not yet finished reading all the classics.

"The two of us are guarding here to protect this academy. Whoever pulls out the dagger will be the master here from now on. You can come here whenever you want." The Taoist said to her seriously.

Yan Qingqiu was delighted when he heard this and said, "Wow, I actually got such a great bargain."

The monk said to him, "You cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood. This is a calamity."

Yan Jingqiu frowned immediately. He didn't understand what the monk was saying, so naturally he didn't want to pay attention to what he said.

An Yan asked, "I haven't asked for your names yet. How should I address you?"

"One of us is a Taoist priest and the other is a monk. Why do we need names?" The monk disagreed.

An Yan nodded and said, "Okay, see you later." Then she took Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu down the mountain.

This trip to Huaqing Mountain was not in vain.

Hua Ye was waiting for them in the yard. He couldn't help feeling anxious. If he didn't come back soon, it would be terrible. Zhou Qianqian's condition was getting worse and worse. Her funeral would be held tomorrow. It was such a pity that she lost her life at such a young age.

An Cheng walked over and took a closer look at Zhou Qianqian's face. It was so pale it looked scary. He said, "What should we do? I don't know when Yanyan will be back. Can you give her some more medicine?"

"I won't give it to you. It's a waste to eat it. It's meaningless." Hua Ye decided to leave it to fate.

Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard was opened.

Hua Ye hurried to the courtyard to see that An Yan and the others had returned. He said quickly, "Oh, my beloved disciple, you are finally back. That girl was almost dead."

"I'll go check it out now." An Yan said as she went into the house to check on Zhou Qianqian.

Zhou Qianqian was barely breathing, and the petals on her wrist were about to wither. She was practically beyond saving. Fortunately, An Yan had obtained the true sutra. She immediately prepared a small jar, took some dried herbs, and placed them in the medicine cauldron. She said to Hua Ye, "Shi Qian, please help watch over this medicine. I'll go and give her a cure."

Hua Ye asked, "How sure are you?"

"Of course I'm 100% sure." An Yan gave him a smile, and then went back to the house to detoxify Zhou Qianqian.

The poison in her body was not too difficult to cure, but it was a bit toxic and would take some time to completely remove.

An Yan said to Li Rongsen, "Go and take care of your own business. Yan Qingqiu and I will be here to take care of you."

Li Rongsen hadn't been home for several days, and the documents at the company must be piled up like a mountain. He knew he couldn't help standing here, so he said, "Okay, I'll go back to the company to handle the affairs first. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay." An Yan just nodded. She didn't even have time to look at Li Rongsen.

After Li Rongsen left, Yan Qingqiu said, "An Yan, I really want to help Li Rongsen detoxify, but it seems that I can't do it as I wish."

"It's okay." An Yan didn't care. She just gave Zhou Qianqian acupuncture.

But Yan Qingqiu felt a little embarrassed and said, "You've read a lot of books, right? Is there any way to solve this problem?"

"Yes." An Yan replied, but she didn't have time to talk about this now.

Yan Qingqiu nodded slightly. After getting a positive answer, he stopped disturbing her and went out to the yard to watch Hua Ye decoct medicine.

Hua Ye sealed a stream of medicinal energy into a small jar, then handed it to Yan Qingqiu and said, "Okay, take it inside and give it to An Yan."

"Has no one come here to cause trouble recently?" Yan Qingqiu asked him.

"If there was, would I still be able to stand here?" Hua Ye asked him back while lighting a small fire in a copper basin.

Yan Qingqiu felt that this was true, so he took the things and went back into the house and handed them to An Yan.

An Yan opened the small jar and placed it above Zhou Qianqian's heart chakra as quickly as possible. After pausing for a moment, she pulled it up again, only to see something being sucked into the jar.

"What is that thing?" Yan Qingqiu asked.

"It's a poisonous insect." An Yan answered him, walked out of the yard, and threw the jar upside down onto the fire.

I saw a burst of flames shooting up into the sky and then disappearing in an instant. I saw the jar falling down at an angle, and everything in it was gone.

Hua Ye said, "Is this the end?"

"He needs a few days to recuperate." An Yan replied.

"That's fine. It's a life after all." Hua Ye nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Yan Qingqiu sat next to Zhou Qianqian and thought carefully about what the monk said to him: "Can't tell the truth from the falsehood." What exactly did this mean? How could he not tell the truth from the falsehood? At this time, a message from Xiaohua came on his mobile phone.

Xiaohua asked him what he was doing recently, but he hadn't replied. She wanted to ask him to get some medicine and asked him not to tell An Yan.

Yan Qingqiu didn't understand what she meant, but he did as she asked.

An Yan said to him, "You haven't had a good rest these past two days. Go do your own thing. I'll be here for you."

"Okay, I'll go out." Yan Qingqiu just used this excuse to go see Xiaohua.

He walked into the yard, asked Hua Ye for some precious herbs, and then ran to Xiaohua.

Xiaohua was extremely anxious, and only felt relieved when he actually brought the medicine over. She said, "Thank you so much, I don't know who else to ask for help except you."

"Why do you want these medicines?" Yan Qingqiu always wanted to find out why.

"I used it myself and got hurt." Xiaohua said with her eyes lowered, not daring to look directly into Yan Qingqiu's eyes.

Yan Qingqiu immediately lifted her chin and said, "You're obviously lying, otherwise why wouldn't you dare look at me?"

"Take your hand away." Xiaohua shook off the restraint on his fingers and said, "Anyway, I'm not doing anything bad, you can rest assured."

"You asked me to get medicine for broken bones. Who hurt you?" Yan Qingqiu raised an eyebrow at her, then began to speculate, "Could it be that you have a lover and they went out together and fell, so you're in such a hurry to get treatment?"

"You can guess whatever you want, but I won't tell you yet." Xiaohua gritted her teeth and refused to say anything because she had promised not to tell anyone.

But Yan Qingqiu didn't let her go. Seeing that she wanted to leave, he refused to let her go. He blocked her way and asked, "If you don't tell the truth, I won't let you leave today. Otherwise, I will let An Yan come to question you."

"No, we can't let An Yan know." Xiaohua immediately became anxious.

"Oh, so you were doing it behind An Yan's back." Yan Qingqiu chuckled, thinking that she was naive after all, and would confess in no time.

Xiaohua whispered to Yan Qingqiu in his ear, then said, "You have to keep this a secret for me. You can't tell Anyan, otherwise it will be over."

"You can't do this. It's the truth that you should confess as soon as possible and get leniency." Yan Qingqiu reminded her seriously that although it was not something that touched the bottom line, it could be a big deal or a small matter.

"But I can't tell you." Xiaohua also had her own difficulties, so she left after saying that.

Yan Qingqiu looked at Xiaohua's departing back and decided to keep it a secret for her for a while, as she would tell the truth sooner or later.
