Chapter 42 Chapter 42 My Lord, why is your voice hoarse? ...

After Beiou learned that Mingyu grass had been brought back, he sent a message to the three of them to go to the mansion in Biezhuang.

Healing is not suitable to be carried out in a crowded inn. One should find a quiet and remote place where no one will disturb the master's meditation.

Wei Xin took Nan Huang and Xi Que downstairs. Seeing Yun Du still sitting at the table, Wei Xin paused and was wondering whether to tell him where they were going next. Yun Du asked first, "Where are you going?"

"Looking for the Gull."

Yun Du guessed what was going on and nodded: "I'll be here, waiting for you to come back."

Wei Xin stammered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sound from the door.

"Brother!" Yun Jin spotted Yun Du as soon as he entered the gate and ran towards him in delight, "Brother, where have you been these days?"

There was a group of disciples following behind her. Looking at Wei Xin standing in front of her, they almost subconsciously moved to the side.

Dou Fang at the end of the team glanced at him and grasped the hilt of the sword.

Nan Huang's eyes twitched slightly, and he moved his wrists. Just as he was about to step forward to teach this ignorant fellow a lesson, he saw him holding the sword and silently moving behind his companions.

She put her hand away. Suddenly, she smelled an unusual scent and whispered, "My Lord, it's Fanyue Flower."

Fan Yue Flower is a poisonous herb refined by Bei Gu and planted in the most secret place of Xuan Ji Sect. It is extremely toxic, but the poisoned person cannot easily detect it. It has a light taste, and once it enters the body, when the true energy is used, it will quietly seep into the Dantian and endanger the golden elixir.

Even the disciples of Xuanji Sect could hardly get in touch with the Fanyue Flower. Wei Xin asked, "Go and see who has it?"

Nan Huang immediately walked towards the group of disciples. They drew their swords and confronted her, but she seemed to be just passing by. She walked past them one by one and then stopped behind Yun Jin.

"Take him away." Wei Xin ordered.

Yun Jin was talking to Yun Du when she was suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck by a hand. Before she could react, a talisman array appeared in front of her, temporarily suppressing her true energy and preventing her from using her spiritual power.

Nan Huang and Xi Que joined forces to restrain Yun Jin. She was furious and asked, "What do you want to do?!"

“Let Fairy Yun Jin go!” Seeing that the situation was not right, the group of disciples immediately surrounded her.

Wei Xin ignored them and walked towards Yundu: "Come with us."

"good."

In an instant, the two were taken away by the people from Xuanji Sect, leaving behind a group of distraught disciples.

"What now?"

"Go and inform Xu Shun!"

"Do you want to go back to Qingguan Sect to report the news?"

Dou Fang stood up and pointed at two of them: "You two go back and report the news, and the rest of you come with me to chase after them!"

*

“What on earth do you want to do? Let me go!” Yun Jin struggled, feeling the imprisoned Qi slowly flowing back. Just as he raised his hand, he was pushed back by Nan Huang.

“I’m warning you, it’s best not to use your true energy, otherwise you will die an ugly death.” Nan Huang said fiercely.

"What do you mean?"

Nan Huang glanced at Wei Xin who was not far away. He was talking to Yun Du about the Fan Yue Flower. He probably didn't want to attack Yun Jin, so he told her, "You were poisoned by the Fan Yue Flower. You should think about how you let others succeed."

"Poisoned? Impossible, I'm not..."

"Have you felt sleepy and dizzy these past two days, with poor Dantian Qi, and emotional fluctuations that seem out of control?"

Yun Jin was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

"Her cultivation is not low. She was poisoned so easily. It was most likely done by someone she trusted." Wei Xin said on the side.

Yun Du frowned slightly: "Is there an antidote?"

"What a coincidence! Bei Gu is the only one who has the antidote."

"You didn't?"

Wei Xin shook his head: "This is something she made herself, so we should leave her something that can save her life."

Yun Du's expression was moved: "The feelings between you two are deeper than I thought."

"What does this have to do with love?" Wei Xin wondered, "She suffered a lot with me when she was young, and I was confined for a long time. What if she is bullied by others? What if I don't have some skills to rely on?"

Yun Du smiled and poked his cheek: "You..."

"Don't make any moves, let's talk business!" Wei Xin turned his head, leaving one earlobe burning, and looked forward, "Take her with you and go with us to find Beigu."

"Thank you."

Yun Jin followed Nan Huang and watched the two people in front of him talking in low voices about serious matters. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save me?"

“Nonsense! Of course the Lord treats you as his own family!” Nan Huang growled in a low voice.

Yun Jin got goosebumps all over his body: "What, what in-laws?"

Nan Huang pointed at the two people in front and said, "Do you need me to tell you about the sweet daily life between your senior brother and our Lord? It's so sweet and touching..."

“…No need!”

Yun Jin interrupted her with a red face, looked up at their backs walking side by side, and thought half-doubtfully: Isn't it said that Fanyue Flower is a poisonous substance that only Xuanji Sect has? How come it is such a coincidence that she was found by Wei Xin after being poisoned, and was taken to detoxify? Could this be a trick of Wei Xin? Just to pretend to be a kind person in front of his senior brother?

She was lost in thought when someone suddenly hit her on the head. She angrily asked, "What are you doing?!"

“Who told you to look at the Lord with such suspicion?” Nan Huang became even angrier and waved his fist in front of her. “If you dare to let me see you again, don’t blame me for smashing your pretty face!”

"What do you mean by that look? You are just a violent person who doesn't care about anyone!"

“I’m going to tear your mouth to pieces.” Nan Huang stretched out her hand to pry her mouth open, but Yun Jin opened his mouth and bit her finger.

They both screamed at the same time.

"Ah! Let go!"

"Ahhh! Shut up! Lord, Lord, help, she can still bite people, can I kill her?!"

Wei Xin turned around and watched her arguing angrily with Yun Jin, then suddenly laughed, "I see you're enjoying it."

Nan Huang: “…?”

Arriving at the villa, Beiou opened the door and saw two uninvited guests. He was stunned and said, "What are they here for..."

Nan Huang pushed Yun Jin in and said, "This guy has been poisoned by the Fanyue flower. Go find the antidote."

Bei Ou said with a smile: "Just because I'm not in the sect, have you forgotten the hierarchy? Don't think that just because the Lord values ​​you, you can be arrogant and domineering. If you don't obey me, I will still poison you to death."

“What did you say?” Nan Huang narrowed his eyes and approached her to ask, “You said—the Lord values ​​me? Is that true?!”

Beiou looked at her face which looked like it was about to burst with laughter: "......"

Wei Xin raised his hands to cover his face: "Save people first."

After checking Yun Jin's condition, Bei Ou asked curiously, "Although it is the poison of the Fan Yue Flower, it seems to be mixed with other ingredients. Who touched my Fan Yue Flower? Could it be that they also want to refine another poisonous herb?"

"Isn't Fan Yuehua being looked after by the person you trust the most?" Wei Xin asked.

"But I haven't been in Xuanji Sect for many years, so it's normal for my subordinates to have second thoughts." Beiou glanced at Nanhuang with a half-smile, "Even that girl dared to speak to me in such a disrespectful way."

Nan Huang curled her lips, crossed her arms, and turned her head to look away.

"It's only been a short time since we left...it looks like Xuanji Sect is quite lively." Wei Xin laughed softly.

Nan Huang and Xique had no idea what he was laughing at, but Bei Ou could roughly guess it. He sighed in his heart, and with a glance, he noticed that there was another person, and an expression of pity appeared on his face.

"Master Yundu, please take her to the dark room. I don't like outsiders watching me while I'm refining the medicine."

Yun Du nodded and led Yun Jin to the dark room. The door was locked from the outside.

Yun Jin touched the copper and iron walls in the dark room, and the doubts in his heart emerged again: "Brother, could this be a trap?"

"Sit down and rest for a while, don't get angry." Yun Du said.

The door was slow to open, and Yun Jin became increasingly anxious, hesitating: "Brother, you have been in danger several times because of Wei Xin, is he really worth it?"

Yun Du opened his eyes and smiled in the darkness: "Whether it is worth it or not is nothing more than weighing what you put in and what you get out. The path you cultivate and the things you do are all from your heart. You don't ask for favors, and you are worthy of heaven and earth. Have you forgotten the Master's teachings?"

Yun Jin was speechless and sat down next to him. Thinking of Xu Shun's recent abnormal behavior, his mind was in a mess: "Brother, what do you like about him?"

"I don't know either." Yun Du smiled helplessly, "Maybe I've been secluded for too long and haven't seen any strangers. When I first saw his face, I was moved."

"......" Yun Jin said in a muffled voice, "Impossible, you are definitely not such a superficial person."

"Don't think of me as noble, and don't be in awe of me. I will never be free from worldly desires in my life. My lust and desires are far beyond your imagination. I have also been wandering in dreams, and only kissing his face can calm my panic."

Hearing his confession, Yun Jin's face had already turned red. It was really...hard to cope with that his senior brother, who was always so dignified and honest, would actually say such a thing.

"My Lord, my Lord, where are you going?" Nan Huang walked towards the dark room, but saw Wei Xin walking out with big strides halfway. He immediately followed him and asked, "The antidote is ready. Bei Ou said that they can be brought out. Do you want to go find them now?"

"Wait a little longer."

“My Lord, why is your voice hoarse? Are you feeling unwell?” Nan Huang followed him worriedly, “Hey, why is your face so red? Is it because the air is not circulating here? My Lord, please get out quickly. I’ll stay here!”

The light outside was a bit dazzling. Wei Xin walked out of the secret passage and raised his hand to cover his eyes. After a while, he moved the back of his hand up and put it on his forehead, feeling the warmth on his face.

Beiou waited for a long time but saw no one coming, so he came to check in person. He saw the Lord squatting outside the secret passage, holding snow in his hands and burying his face in his hands.

"My Lord! What are you doing?" She immediately ran up to him, lifted his head, and patted the snow off his face. She couldn't help laughing, "Why are you playing with the snow like a playful child? Your face is frozen red, and you still want to play with the snow."

“My Lord, bring everyone out.” Nan Huang said from behind.

Wei Xin suddenly stood up, walked to the tree next to him in two or three steps, and said without turning his head: "Listen to Beiou's arrangements."

Beiou: "Miss Yunjin, follow me."

Yun Jin looked at the group of people hesitantly, and then she looked at Yun Du: "Brother, I'll go then."

"Go ahead." Yun Du patted her shoulder and smiled calmly, "It will be fine."

Beiou: "Nanhuang, come and help me guard the door."

Nan Huang: “Please beg me.”

"If you don't come, you will have to drink poison tonight."

"I'll kill you!"

Everyone else had left and there was no other movement behind him. Wei Xin slowly turned his head and found that there was no one behind him.

He turned his head in confusion and almost bumped into Yun Du's face. He was startled and took two steps back, leaning against the tree.

The snow fell from the treetops.

"Are you looking for me?" Yun Du stood in front of him, smiling faintly, and raised his hand to cover his head, and snow cubes hit the back of his hand.

There was snow on his face, and a snowflake hung on his eyelashes.

"Who is looking for you? I just checked whether the door of the darkroom was closed."

While Wei Xin was speaking, he kept blinking his eyes, but he never blinked away the snowflakes.

"Did you hear everything?" Yun Du said.

"......" Wei Xin lowered his head, poked the snow with his toes, kicked the snow towards his feet, and laughed coldly, "You knew I was outside, but you still deliberately talked nonsense. You are really looking for death."

"It's the truth."

The eyelashes trembled, and snowflakes were still hanging on the end.

Yundu's Adam's apple moved slightly.

"Axin, can I..."

Wei Xin raised his eyes, puzzled.

"You can hit me or scold me, just don't chase me away again." Yun Du could no longer restrain himself. He supported himself on the tree with one hand, leaned over slightly, and put the snowflake into his mouth. The cold temperature disappeared in an instant.

Wei Xin's body trembled slightly.

When his vision returned to normal, he kicked up the snow and said, "...If you have the guts, don't run! Stop right there, you idiot!"
