The next day, before dawn, Qian Youxue, accompanied by two maids, scaled the wall and left the palace. Leng Qing and Leng Yu followed them closely, while Leng Mo went to report to his master.

At this moment, Bu Yu was preparing a medicinal bath for Xuan Mingye. Hearing the cold report, Xuan Mingye wasn't too surprised. With his eyes closed, he said calmly, "Just have someone follow him closely."

"Yes!" Leng Mo felt the result was unexpected and retreated without daring to say anything more.

After leaving indifferently, he didn't instruct Wuya: "Go and keep an eye on things. Report anything that happens immediately."

"Yes!" Wuya accepted the order and left through the door.

He stopped recording Ye's physical condition. His constitution was much better than before he left, but the bruises on his chest had turned somewhat black. Logically, the poison should be under control, so this shouldn't be the case. Could it be that Qian Youxue had tampered with it?

This shouldn't be!

She should have known that being in the same boat as Ye meant harming Ye, which would be tantamount to harming herself.

With a furrowed brow, she watched him look up at Ye, who was resting with his eyes closed, and asked curiously, "Did something happen while I was away?"

Xuan Mingye let out a breath and briefly recounted the events between Qian Youxue and Granny Zhou, as well as the matter of Qian Youxue poisoning the woman.

After listening, Bu Yu shook his head and clicked his tongue: "This woman is really not someone to mess with. Luckily, she didn't use a large dose of the drug, otherwise you would probably have to lie in bed for at least ten days or eight months."

Is it really that serious?

Xuan Mingye frowned in surprise and murmured, "Do you know a guy named Wuxie?"

"The young master of Medicine King Valley? He's been away from Wu City for a while now. I heard something big happened at Medicine King Valley, so he probably won't be back for a while. What? You want to see him?" Bu Yu naturally knew Wu Xie. Although he didn't have any connection with Medicine King Valley, he was still acquainted with him.

The young master of Medicine King Valley, no wonder his medicine is so potent.

However, thinking that someone's heart was set on Wu Xie, Xuan Mingye's face darkened further, and his fists clenched tightly.

They didn't take it seriously, and while they were surprised, they seemed to have thought of something.

But wait, that's not right!

He shook his head in puzzlement; "No, I know quite a few poisoning methods from Medicine King Valley, but I've never seen one as cunning as the Princess. She... couldn't be from Medicine King Valley."

"You mean her master isn't that Wu Xie?" Xuan Mingye asked excitedly.

“Definitely not. I feel that although the princess’s cultivation is not as high as Wuxie’s, her expertise in poisoning and detoxification is far superior to his. As for the master of Medicine King Valley, he doesn’t leave the valley easily, nor does he easily teach disciples. The princess has been living in seclusion for a long time, so it’s unlikely. She must have a very powerful master.” Bu Yu gave a rough guess based on what he knew, and he was certain that the princess’s acupuncture technique did not come from Medicine King Valley.

If they weren't master and disciple, then their relationship was even more ambiguous. Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Xuan Mingye's eyes.

Bu Yu had a guess in his heart, but seeing the murderous intent in Ye's eyes, he dared not speak rashly and lowered his head to continue with the things he was doing.

...

As soon as it was light, Qian Youxue led her people out of the city.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she put on the silver mask that someone had given her before. There were many out-of-towners coming and going in Wucheng, and many people wearing masks, so naturally no one paid any special attention.

They easily left the city gate and headed straight for the woods outside the city.

When entering the mass grave, even in broad daylight, one can feel the eerie winds. Some spirit beasts that like to gnaw on corpses appear here at night, but at this time they all go back to their dens to sleep, so it is quite safe to pass through at this time.

“Master, this forest not only has spirit beasts, but also a lot of medicinal herbs. And…” Yunhe roughly told her master about the situation of the forest. Knowing that her master was going to train, she had already prepared a spatial ring. She and Mei’er were also carrying baskets on their backs.

Mei'er rarely came to places like this, and she was curious about everything along the way. Yunhe looked up and called out to Mei'er, "Sister Mei'er, take this. There's some poison inside. You can use it if needed. This ring is for you."

Upon hearing this, Mei waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, how can I accept something so valuable?"

"Take it. We're best friends. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. Protecting yourself is also helping your master." Yunhe placed the ring in Mei'er's hand.

Qian Youxue felt a little sad. It seemed that Yunhe was richer than her now. Apart from the spiritual space where she could store things, she didn't even have a spatial ring.

Damn monster!

She bit her lip in frustration, telling herself that once she got out of there, she would go to the auction house, get more spirit beasts and inner cores, and then refine a batch of pills. Then she wouldn't have to worry about money.

"Master, what are you thinking about so intently?" Yunhe snapped out of his reverie and noticed the hatred in his master's eyes. He paused and then said, "Are you worried about running into Sai Miaoshou? The spirit beasts here aren't high-level, so an expert like her shouldn't be here."

hehe……

Qian Youxue smiled awkwardly: "That's good, that's good, let's go!"

After finishing their conversation, the group passed through a mass grave and arrived at a secluded forest. Before even entering, they were met with a strong stench of blood, and the group stopped in their tracks.

"Master, Sister Mei'er, I'll go in and take a look first." Yunhe was afraid that the two of them would suffer losses, so she volunteered to go and scout ahead.

Qian Youxue shook her head: "Let's go together. We're here to gain experience. How can we be timid and hesitant all the time?"

“Master is right, let’s go in together.” Mei’er also insisted on her master’s opinion. Since they were out here to train, getting injured was to be expected, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Yunhe thought it made sense after listening, so he stepped back to his master's side, and the three of them walked into the dense forest together.

Leng Qing and Leng Yu, who were following behind, looked at each other, nodded, and followed them into the woods.

Wuya followed quickly, but he seemed to have a bad feeling. He frowned, looked behind him cautiously, and only after confirming that he was not being followed did he follow closely inside.

Not far away, two pairs of eyes were watching the people going in one after another. The tall man said in a low voice, "Look, a newbie is going in."

"Hahaha, look at their clothes, they're all dressed quite well. This time we're going to get a big one." The short man chuckled slyly, his mind filled with images of overflowing gold and silver.

"Hurry up and go, or someone else will get to eat it." The tall guy urged, his eyes darting furtively towards the entrance again, as if afraid of missing something.

The short man didn't go into the forest entrance; instead, he parted a patch of grass and disappeared into it. Clearly, there was more than one entrance to the forest.
