Shen Qianxue smiled faintly, her gaze indifferent, not taking the other party's hostility seriously.
A dignified Phoenix Queen should remain calm and composed in the face of danger, and always maintain a composed demeanor.
Su Hu dismissed his disciples and said to Shen Qianxue, "Come with me."
Shen Qianxue followed, and the two crossed the path to the backyard. Shen Qianxue saw that beautiful figure in the distance.
She was dressed in a black outfit, her hair neatly tied up, looking dashing and heroic.
Just from seeing her back, Shen Qianxue knew she was doing well.
Originally, Shen Qianxue was worried that there were problems within the Liuli Society, and that she might not have an easy time after returning.
In retrospect, he had been overthinking it.
Su Jin heard footsteps and turned around.
Shen Qianxue was dressed in a moon-white casual outfit, exuding elegance and nobility, her temperament unchanging, and there wasn't even a trace of weariness on her face.
Su Jin was very uneasy, afraid that he would be angry, afraid that he would blame her, or even afraid that he would hate her!
I'm also very worried that he won't eat or sleep well, which will affect his life.
But now that I look at it, it's absolutely wonderful.
Even after all this, isn't he at all heartbroken? Is he really that unimportant to him?
Things didn't go as planned, and Su Jin was a little unhappy, a small flame of anger wanting to rise in her heart but not daring to let it ignite.
After all, she was in the wrong.
She needs to explain!
She has to control her temper first!
Su Jinxia had completely forgotten that Shen Qianxue was highly skilled in martial arts, in excellent physical condition, and accustomed to showing a cold demeanor. Even if he was heartbroken and didn't sleep for three to five days, he couldn't glean anything from her expression.
Shen Qianxue blinked because he keenly sensed that Su Jinxia's emotions had changed and she had become a little angry.
What happened?
However, with an unknown man watching her intently, Shen Qianxue maintained her composure and asked no questions.
Su Jin looked at him for a while, trying to calm herself down.
She kept thinking to herself that she must take this opportunity to make Shen Qianxue understand that she had her reasons, forgive her for what she did, maintain a good relationship with Shen Qianxue, and make sure things don't fall apart.
This is my man, I have to coax him!
After adjusting her mindset, Su Jin smiled gently and said, "Brother Tiger, you go ahead and do your work."
Su Hu frowned, somewhat reluctant to leave.
Su Jinxia frantically gave him meaningful glances. If he stood there, how could he possibly coax Chen Qianxue?
This is unbecoming of her status as the Lord of Glass!
Having no other choice, Su Hu glared at Shen Qianxue warningly and left.
Su Jin bit her tongue and gave Chen Qianxue a slightly guilty smile, saying, "You've never been to Liuli Mountain before, have you? I'll take you around."
Shen Qianxue glanced at Su Jinxia indifferently and said aloofly, "When in Rome, do as the host says."
Su Jin smiled good-naturedly and gestured, "This way, please."
The two then left the Liuli Society and headed into the mountains.
Su Jin didn't know where to begin her explanation, after all, she had kept too many things from Shen Qianxue and couldn't find a starting point.
What's infuriating is that Shen Qianxue didn't ask any questions and remained completely calm.
At a time like this, isn't he curious? He's incredibly patient!
Su Jinxia pouted, casually plucked a bright blue hedgehog from the grass, and held it up to Shen Qianxue like a treasure. "Isn't it cute? It's a specialty of Liuli Mountain. The glowing part on its back produces venom, which is very deadly."
Shen Qianxue...
I don't know whether to call her cute or not.
However, the little hedgehog felt particularly safe in Su Jinxia's hand, shrinking back and retracting its quills, as if afraid of hurting Su Jinxia.
Noticing Shen Qianxue's confusion, Su Jinxia explained, "The Glazed Gu is naturally resistant to all wild beasts and poisonous creatures, so it won't harm me. Especially the beasts of Glazed Mountain, they are used to the presence of the Glazed Gu's host and will live peacefully with us. Some people in the society can even tame beasts, they are particularly powerful."
"Oh, right, except for your two white tigers, they're very fierce towards me."
The White Tiger was the king of the forest and was raised by the Phoenix Pavilion, so it already had someone it wanted and was not very friendly to Su Jinxia.
Of course, Su Jin could also suppress it to some extent by using the power of the Glass Master.
"So, when you used insect repellent to control the insects and ants that Xia Yinyin attracted in Wulin Mountain, you were also lying to me?" Shen Qianxue said softly, her voice devoid of emotion.
But Su Jin immediately sensed the blame in the tone.
She silently lifted the little hedgehog up. "Do you like it? I'll give it to you."
Shen Qianxue...
The topic shift was too abrupt.
"I've already been pricked enough by another little hedgehog, so I'll skip it," he said calmly.
Su Jin grinned awkwardly. Could the other little hedgehog be me?
She withdrew her hand, put the little hedgehog back where it was, lowered her head, fidgeted with her fingers, and looked guilty. She mumbled softly, "Ask me anything you want to know, and I'll tell you everything."
Shen Qianxue deeply felt that the softest part of her heart had been touched, and a desire rose in her heart, wanting to pull her into her arms tightly.
He really couldn't bear to see her looking wronged!
However, he had to resist the temptation and not be fooled by her cute and innocent appearance.
"Okay, I hope you won't lie to me this time!"
Su Jin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Shen Qianxue took a breath and asked directly, "As far as I know, the Glazed Gu is immune to all poisons, so why were you poisoned?"
Su Jin looked up in surprise, "I thought you would ask about the wooden sword first."
Shen Qianxue said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, just answer."
The matter was over, and Su Jin felt no burden. As she walked, she said, "It's not that I'm immune to all poisons. Yang Jiaoruo poisoned me before the competition at Phoenix Pavilion, and I almost died from it."
Su Jinxia is still angry, but at least she can file a lawsuit now!
Shen Qianxue's eyes narrowed; he had no idea about this at all!
Su Jin glanced at Shen Qianxue's expression, feeling a mix of joy and relief. She then reassured him, "Fortunately, the Gu Mother in my body is only slightly more potent than that poison."
Shen Qianxue's brows furrowed. He believed he had been protecting Su Jinxia all along, but Su Jinxia was covered in wounds.
Su Jin was believed by everyone to be about to harm Phoenix Pavilion, but everyone in Phoenix Pavilion was unharmed.
Even though Yang Jiaoruo treated her this way, she did not retaliate.
Su Jinxia sighed softly and continued, "The story of the poison in my body is a long one, it has to start from when I became the Lord of Liuli."
"Take your time, I'm not in a hurry." Shen Qianxue's aloofness gradually faded, and she became heavy-hearted and somewhat repressed.
Su Jin smiled and said in as relaxed a tone as possible, "Okay, then I'll explain it to you slowly."
"On the second day after I became the Lord of the Glass, my good sister Nie Qingyi poisoned me with a poison called Forget-Me-Not Grass. It can suppress the power of the Gu Mother. So, for a whole year afterward, I was unable to sense the power of the Gu Mother. Everyone called me a waste and thought I was not worthy of being the Lord of the Glass. When I went back to the village to see my parents, the village children would throw stones at me and curse me."
