Seeing the old woman lying motionless on the ground, blood rapidly oozing from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Zhao suddenly knelt down and spoke anxiously.
"Young master, she is my mother. Please, sir, show mercy."
Seeing Xiao Zhao suddenly kneel on the ground, Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to her, was taken aback.
Pointing at the old woman on the ground, he asked, "Is she your mother?"
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan's gaze lingered on the old woman's wrinkled face, her mind filled with bewilderment.
Judging from the age of the old woman in front of her, she should be more like Xiao Zhao's grandmother. How could she look like Xiao Zhao's mother and daughter?
But in the next instant, Qu Feiyan realized that the old woman on the ground was in disguise.
After realizing the identities of the old woman and Xiao Zhao, Qu Feiyan glanced at Xiao Zhao, then crouched down and slipped outside the courtyard before leaping up.
When she returned, Qu Feiyan was holding the very crutch that she had kicked away earlier.
However, unlike before, the cane had now been broken into two sections.
Looking at Xiao Zhao kneeling on the ground, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Get up! I won't do anything to her."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and sprinkled some medicinal powder into the cup that the old woman had been using.
"Thank you, young master."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhao thanked the old woman and quickly walked over to her, offering her the water mixed with medicinal powder.
A few breaths later, as the poison in her body was neutralized, and after regaining her sense of true energy and control over her body, the old woman lying on the ground slapped Xiao Zhao away.
He actually infused a little bit of true energy into this palm strike during the movement.
If she were hit, Xiao Zhao, who was completely unprepared, would probably be seriously injured.
However, the moment the old woman's hand touched Xiao Zhao, the true energy that had been gathered on her palm vanished completely as if it had been sucked away.
On the contrary, the old woman trembled slightly and spat out another mouthful of blood, her expression quickly becoming listless.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qu Feiyan frowned immediately.
He then glanced down at the cane in his hand, snorted inwardly, and quickly flung it back over the wall.
In contrast, Chu Qinghe frowned slightly at the sight of the old woman being poisoned again.
Seeing the old woman's face turn even black, Xiao Zhao looked at Chu Qinghe in shock and said, "Young Master."
Seeing Xiao Zhao's expression, Chu Qinghe maintained the position of supporting his face with one hand, but his right hand flicked lightly.
As a stream of internal energy carrying a medicinal powder fell into the cup in Xiao Zhao's hand, Chu Qinghe finally spoke, "It's ready!"
After Xiao Zhao fed the tea mixed with the new medicinal powder to Granny Jin Hua, Chu Qinghe watched Granny Jin Hua with great interest.
Since he had nothing better to do anyway, if someone was willing to perform a blood-spitting act for Chu Qinghe, he would naturally be happy to see it.
Once the pain subsided and her inner energy returned, Granny Jin Hua on the ground clearly dared not move an inch.
The moment she sat up, Granny Jin Hua coldly shouted at Xiao Zhao beside her, "Get out of the way."
Upon hearing Granny Jin Hua's voice, Xiao Zhao immediately withdrew her hand and stood aside, looking aggrieved.
After dismissing Xiao Zhao, the old woman turned to Chu Qinghe and said, "I never expected that I had misjudged you."
Hearing the old woman's words, Chu Qinghe did not respond. Instead, he took a sip from his cup and slowly said, "I don't know whether I should call you Granny Golden Flower or the Purple-Robed Dragon King of the Ming Cult?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's voice, the old woman, Dai Qisi, changed her expression and looked at Xiao Zhao.
"You beast, how dare you reveal my identity to outsiders?"
Faced with Dai Qisi's accusation, Xiao Zhao quickly shook her head to indicate, "Daughter did not."
However, before Xiao Zhao could explain, Chu Qinghe suddenly sighed.
Now that he knew Xiao Zhao's identity, Chu Qinghe naturally also knew that Xiao Zhao had a biological mother.
Therefore, based on Xiao Zhao's previous reaction and injuries, Chu Qinghe guessed that the injuries on Xiao Zhao's body were caused by Dai Qisi, but Chu Qinghe did not know the specific process.
So no one expected that Granny Jin Hua, as Xiao Zhao's biological mother, would treat Xiao Zhao so badly.
Then, Chu Qinghe's lazy expression suddenly subsided a bit, and he sat up a little straighter, saying, "I don't need Xiao Zhao to tell me about your identity, senior. I already knew the night she arrived."
Without a second thought, Dai Qisi replied, "Do you think I would believe that?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe's lips curled into a cold smile.
The next instant, with the flow of internal energy, Chu Qinghe appeared in front of Dai Qisi in an instant.
In contrast, Dai Qisi only belatedly realized what was happening when Chu Qinghe appeared beside her.
"How is this speed possible?"
In Dai Qisi's perception, the fluctuations in Chu Qinghe's internal energy clearly showed that Chu Qinghe himself was only at the early stage of the first-rate level.
But even with such cultivation, his speed was so fast that Dai Qisi couldn't react at all.
To put it bluntly, given the speed Chu Qinghe is currently displaying, he could kill me in an instant if he wanted to.
Thinking of this, Dai Qisi's back was already soaked with cold sweat without her realizing it, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
