"Huh?"
After learning about the effects of the poison Chu Qinghe had given Zhu Wushi, the women were all filled with suspicion.
This time, not only Qu Feiyan, but even Xiao Zhao immediately noticed something was wrong and asked, "Why is the poison you used today so mild, young master?"
Upon hearing the voice, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "It's as if I used to poison people so severely."
However, after saying this, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but think about it and realized that, apart from the women, when he poisoned others, he was basically aiming to kill them to eliminate any future troubles.
Chu Qinghe shook his head and then said, "Although he only vomited blood today, after Zhu Wushi successfully circulated his true qi to force out the poison, during the process of expelling the poison, the toxins in his body will combine with the true qi and lie dormant in his upper dantian."
Upon learning that there was more to come, the women all stared intently at Chu Qinghe with slightly flickering eyes, their curiosity clearly evident even though they were disguised and wearing masks.
Qu Feiyan was the first to ask, "And then?"
After rolling his eyes, Chu Qinghe continued, "Under the influence of these poisons, when he enters the Celestial Realm, these toxins will take effect, and three days later, the hidden meridians around his upper dantian will gradually close again, causing his cultivation to drop from the original Celestial Realm back to the Great Grandmaster Realm Perfection."
"Hiss~"
After understanding the effect of Chu Qinghe's poisoning of the token today, the women couldn't help but gasp.
The Celestial Realm can be considered a crucial hurdle in a martial artist's life.
Entering the Celestial Realm not only greatly increases one's strength, but also extends one's lifespan.
Its appeal to anyone is unimaginable.
However, Chu Qinghe's poison caused Zhu Wushi, who had just broken through to the Celestial Realm, to fall back to the Great Grandmaster Realm Perfection.
Any martial artist would probably be mentally shattered by this.
This would probably be more painful for Zhu Wushi than seriously injuring or even killing him.
In response, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "Young Master, aren't you worried that Zhu Wushi will hate you for using such poison?"
Cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents.
Destroying someone's cultivation is even more serious than cutting off their money.
After this incident, it's unlikely that the relationship between Zhu Wushi and Chu Qinghe will ever be able to mend.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe yawned and said slowly, "What's there to worry about? My poison will remain dormant in his upper dantian after he vomits blood. It won't cause any abnormalities before he enters the Celestial Realm. Once he enters the Celestial Realm, there won't be any abnormalities around his upper dantian except for the leakage of true qi and the sealing of hidden meridians."
"When the poison takes effect and closes his true energy again, he will at most think that there is a problem with his practice of the 'Absorption Technique' that led to this situation, rather than thinking that I used poison."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe also expressed his helplessness.
That's just how trouble is sometimes.
Chu Qinghe clearly didn't intend to openly clash with anyone when he came here this time.
He just wanted to watch the show and then secretly poison her.
As a result, there will always be restless individuals who cause trouble.
They won't settle down until they suffer a loss.
It's obvious they won't listen unless they're beaten.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan was taken aback for a moment, then scratched her head and said, "It seems so."
Zhu Wushi is not yet at the Celestial Realm, and according to Chu Qinghe, the poison itself is divided into two parts.
Even if we follow Chu Qinghe's explanation, Zhu Wushi's plan to absorb the power of a Celestial Realm expert in the palace and break through to the Celestial Realm himself would only be on the night of the full moon nine days later.
Given such a long period of time, it was impossible for Zhu Wushi to suspect Chu Qinghe.
Thinking about it this way, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but shake her head and say, "Why did you have to try to scheme against the young master? Zhu Wushi is really in for a world of trouble now."
The women, including Jellyfish Yin Ji, nodded in agreement.
Chu Qinghe took in the reactions of the women, but his expression remained nonchalant.
Since he dared to use this poison, Chu Qinghe must have planned it all out.
Otherwise, rather than making an enemy of Zhu Wushi today and risking future retaliation from him, Chu Qinghe might as well just kill Zhu Wushi with the drug today and be done with it.
Then, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Alright, stop thinking about these things. Now, have fun and recharge. After this incident, things should calm down for a while."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, the other women did not delve any further into the matter.
With Chu Qinghe around, he would consider everything immediately, leaving no room for consideration for Shuimu Yinji and Qu Feiyan.
……
Time flies.
In the following days, Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun, and Chu Qinghe seemed to have reached an unspoken understanding. Although they were all in the capital, neither Zhu Wushi nor Cao Zhengchun took the initiative to contact Chu Qinghe again.
Chu Qinghe was happy to see this, and simply went out with the girls every day at sunrise and returned at moonrise.
As the time for the decisive battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue draws ever closer, more and more martial artists are gathering in the capital.
Almost every time you walk down the street, you can see several warriors holding swords.
There are even gambling dens in the capital that use the outcome of the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue as the betting odds.
This attracted many people to flock to place bets.
Until the fifteenth of August, when night fell and the bright moon quietly rose in the sky, almost 80% of the martial artists in the city quickly moved towards the direction of the palace gate.
However, at this moment, the usual quiet and solemn atmosphere at the gates of the imperial city was gone, replaced by constant noise.
