"People like my brother-in-law are the most likable."
On the field, looking at the two broken pieces of stick on the ground, Xu Changzhi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what excuse to give.
Having made such a vow in front of everyone, it would seem far-fetched for Xu Changzhi to find another reason to stop Qiao Feng.
After Qiao Feng left, the Northern Beggars' Clan was leaderless.
If the elders and disciples of the Northern Beggars' Clan really see that he is deliberately making things difficult for Qiao Feng, Xu Changzhi will find it difficult to control the Northern Beggars' Clan later.
Seeing this, after a few moments of contemplation, Xu Changzhi could only say, "I hope you remember the oath you made today."
"A true man's word is his bond, and Qiao Feng, being a fine man, would never stoop to such a dishonest act."
After saying that, Qiao Feng turned around and focused his gaze on Chu Qinghe.
After a brief pause, she actually took the initiative to walk towards Chu Qinghe.
Upon approaching, Qiao Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Qinghe, saying, "Young Master Zhao."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Qiao."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qiao Feng gave a wry smile, then shook his head and said, "What is there to be happy about?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Being able to escape the sea of suffering and fly freely in the sky is naturally something to celebrate. After all, the current Beggar Clan, or rather the Northern Beggar Clan that Brother Qiao originally managed, is not a good place."
After a slight pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "It's just that Chief Hong has suffered; at his age, he still has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility for the Beggars' Sect."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hong Qigong, who was in the distance, suddenly turned pale.
A moment later, Hong Qigong's voice suddenly rang in the ears of Chu Qinghe and Qiao Feng.
"Since you know this, why did you, Young Master Zhao, help get rid of Chief Qiao and then make things difficult for the old beggar alone?"
Upon hearing the voice, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "The die is cast, and the matter cannot be changed. A forced melon will not be sweet. As an outsider, all I can do is to add fuel to the fire, not to turn the tide. Senior, you cannot blame me for these words."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's response, Hong Qigong couldn't help but sigh inwardly and then fell silent.
Beside the carriage, Qiao Feng bowed to Hong Qigong before turning to Chu Qinghe and saying, "Having witnessed a bit of a spectacle, I wonder if Young Master Zhao would be willing to find a place to have a good drink with me?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Since Chief Qiao still has this interest, I am naturally willing to accompany you. However, I have not yet finished my business here, so perhaps Chief Qiao will have to wait a little while."
Qiao Feng asked in surprise, "Young Master, you haven't gathered that herb yet?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head as he fanned himself with his folding fan and said, "The herbs have been collected. Next, I just need to meet some other people."
Although he didn't know what Chu Qinghe meant by those words, Qiao Feng didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
However, just as Qiao Feng lifted his foot to walk to the side of Chu Qinghe and the others to wait quietly, he suddenly staggered.
Just like a drunk person, I felt somewhat weak and unsteady.
As he felt the power being rapidly drained from his body and the true energy gradually disappearing, Qiao Feng's expression changed.
"Poisoned?"
However, before Qiao Feng could lose all his strength, a special gust of wind blew towards him and entered his mouth and nose as Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with his folding fan.
The next second, Qiao Feng was surprised to find that the feeling of weakness in his body quickly dissipated, and his true energy began to circulate slowly in his body again.
"No, someone used poison."
At the same time, from within the apricot grove, Hong Qigong uttered a low shout.
Almost as soon as the sound spread, before the Beggar Clan disciples and elders in the apricot grove could react, the Beggar Clan disciples collapsed one by one like cut leeks, slumping to the ground.
In just three breaths, only Chu Qinghe and a few others remained standing in the apricot grove.
Upon seeing this, Kumārajīva, who had been completely unaware from beginning to end, was startled. He raised his hand and touched his body a couple of times while rapidly circulating his inner energy, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face.
But when he glanced at Chu Qinghe and the others, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, who remained calm and composed beside him, Kumārajīva breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took a deep look at Chu Qinghe.
"Has it already been discovered?"
At the same time, accompanied by weak and feeble wails, Xu Changzhi, who was lying on the ground in the apricot grove, struggled to raise his head.
When Xu Changzhi's gaze fell on Chu Qinghe and the others, he said intermittently, "Qiao, Qiao Feng, you actually colluded with outsiders to poison us. As expected, foreign tribes are all wolves in sheep's clothing."
As soon as he spoke, all the Beggars' Sect disciples and elders around him looked at Qiao Feng.
Even Hong Qigong, who was far away, looked at Chu Qinghe and the others with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Feng said, "Elder Xu, this matter was definitely not done by Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng also does not know why you were suddenly poisoned."
An elder from the Northern Beggars' Sect spoke up: "Qiao Feng, if you were unaware of the situation, why were we poisoned while you remained unharmed?"
Faced with what the Beggar Clan elder said, Qiao Feng didn't know how to explain, and suddenly felt like he was speechless.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "I cured Chief Qiao of the poison. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qiao Feng turned his head to look at Chu Qinghe in astonishment, his eyes filled with surprise.
Meeting Qiao Feng's gaze, Chu Qinghe waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me. I cured the poison in your body, but I didn't administer the poison from Beisu Qingfeng."
Almost as soon as Chu Qinghe finished speaking, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from all directions.
