"How can you be so self-deprecating? I have always loved you. Saying this now is really hurting me too much."
It was unclear whether he was pretending or serious. Seeing his depressed look, Qiu Chenqing didn't say anything.
Honestly, Chu Zhan had originally thought her face was just a common allergy that would heal in a few days at most. He had never imagined it would become so severe, with red marks covering her face and making it impossible for her to go out and see people again.
Ultimately, it's probably related to him. If I hadn't followed him to that crappy prefect's place, this problem wouldn't have occurred.
"Don't worry, I'll find a pharmacy to heal your face even if it means spending all my money!"
The place he had heard of as a place of superb medical skills was probably the Villain's Mansion. Although that place had a bad reputation, it had many powerful forces behind it, and the chivalrous world was also connected to many connections.
As for why they hadn't gone to the Feng family to take back the treasure, it was probably because their scholars and writers couldn't compare to that family for the time being.
It will be like an egg hitting a rock, and will not end well.
So he traveled thousands of miles to find the Evil Man's Mansion. The Evil Man's Mansion and the Qiu Mansion were several days and nights apart, and the distance between them, one to the east and the other to the west of Daqin, was imaginable.
He was turned away even when he arrived at the evil man's house.
The reason was that the owner of the house was ill and could not receive guests.
Seeing this, he spent a lot of money, mainly to please the other party.
Now the evil mansion is short of money. It lacks money to buy rare herbs to prolong its life.
"Since we've seen the Evil House is like this, then it's better not to look for this place."
He deliberately shouted this sentence loudly, just to see what the master behind him would do.
"No need to look elsewhere, the Medicine God here can help you answer your questions and resolve your doubts."
"What's the point of just answering questions? I came here mainly to ask for a prescription to save someone's face."
"Just to save someone's face, you think you can come to our Villain House to find that healer? That's too arrogant. We have an unwritten rule in our Villain House that the cost of treating illnesses must be exchanged for something different."
"I know you're short of money at the Villain House, but how come I can't even come up with a prescription to heal my face after spending so much money? Your prescription is way too expensive."
Su Lie came out leisurely with two packages of herbs and shook his head.
"It's not expensive, but its customers need it, right?"
"Since it's an incurable disease, why not ask for something a little more unconventional? From what I know, if you have a place to look, why bother trying your luck in our evil mansion, right?"
The reason he said so much was to get the person in front of him to help him snatch the Tianshan grass from the top of Tianshan Mountain.
Tianshan belongs to the Hanshan realm, where the group of elders live, and its mountains are majestic.
There is an exquisite tower on the mountain, which is not much different from the evil man’s residence.
If one wanted Qiu Chenqing's loyalty at this time, one had to go to the exquisite tower in the Tianshan realm and snatch the Tianshan grass. This grass was extremely precious and could not leave the snowy mountains or it would wither and die.
It is a species that can only survive under specific conditions.
So one more thing is needed, thousand-year-old cold iron.
That thousand-year-old cold iron is now in the Feng family's house among the ten great families. With disputes raging everywhere, it is unreasonable for the ten great families to remain firmly in their positions.
Blindly fighting with them is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.
He thought it was feasible. Although he had heard of the names of the ten great families, they were Li, Lu, Feng, Zhang, Zhu, Yang, Lin, Sun, and Huang. There was also a family named Li with the surname Ling. Together, they formed the ten great families.
The Feng family is considered to be a relatively small family among the ten great families, but it still has a great style.
However, the troops under Chu Zhan's command were not strong enough to fight against the Feng family. Even if the Li Jianqiu family and the Feng family joined together, they would not be able to defeat the Feng family.
Because the ten great families were already entangled in the current turbulent struggle, if the interests of one person were disturbed, it would naturally affect the entire group, so there was a possibility that they would be jointly excluded by the ten great families.
But he was willing to take a gamble.
He had an inexplicable feeling for that person, although he didn't know what it was.
If you want to enter the Feng family, there are probably only two ways.
Then he would have to either use something more precious to exchange for the thousand-year-old cold iron, or he would have to steal it through the back door.
He hadn't heard of any thousand-year-old treasures belonging to the Qiu family, so he couldn't blame the Qiu family for this.
That emperor...wait!
The emperor has so many treasures.
However, most of the things owned by the emperor were private property that was tributed by other countries and other previous items.
Like that kind of rare treasure... probably just the imperial seal passed down from the previous emperor. It would be better to steal from the Feng family than from the palace!
But then the question arose. If he had been able to steal the things from the Feng family, the man at the door would have been gone long ago. Why wait until now?
Expecting him to steal something that even the evil man couldn't steal from his house is a fantasy!
"Is there any other way?"
"My father is lying in the room and needs that Tianshancao to save his life. The person you want to save has only a disfigured face. Are you as anxious as I am?"
"I've tried many times to go to the Feng family to steal the thousand-year-old cold iron, but I've never succeeded! I can't even find where it's hidden!"
The thousand-year-old cold iron was pitch black throughout.
This thing was roughly square, and the cold could be felt within five steps. He had searched for anything that could hide it, but now there was nothing that could completely block the cold air of the iron.
Even the places where they are placed are the evil ones’ houses and the darkest lairs.
The place where poisonous snakes lingered was considered the underground devil's place. He was freezing to death when he entered the door. Although he didn't know what the Feng family used to steal it, he thought that the man's hands must have been disabled after transporting it for so long.
Except, the mysterious box.
That is the mysterious box. Although it is not an ancient divine object, the things stored in it are nothing more than time.
Everything is catalyzed by time, but this box can last forever without being controlled by time.
As long as it is not opened, it will remain in the same state as when it was put in.
It is a very magical thing. However, since it disappeared from the Nahe family, there has been no trace of it.
"So whether you help or not, it's a win-win situation, and no one owes anyone anything. If you don't want to help, get out of my evil mansion right away. The situation is so chaotic now, I won't even prepare tea for you. Take care of yourself."
He had to go to the palace in the evening to ask the emperor when he would find the thousand-year-old cold iron for him.
He had already sent nearly half of his troops to secretly incite them and eliminate the rebellious bandits. Otherwise, how could this battle be so easy to win?
Now it's time to see the emperor's sincerity.
At least we have to show some respect. Even if we don't enter through the main gate, we can bring a few skilled warriors with us and conduct a thorough search.
