Chapter 230: Tianming Pavilion Incident - Unexpected Guests
Yun Qingqing ignored her, golden light flowed from her fingertips, and she began to draw talismans from Yan Ning's upper arm.
Yan Ning looked at her nimble fingertips calmly, while his other hand, which was hanging by his side, slowly clenched under his sleeve.
Wherever her fingertips touched, runes with a faint golden glow appeared. It was clearly warm to the touch, but he felt it was a bit burning.
Yan Ning felt somewhat relieved that he had put the talisman back close to his heart, otherwise he would have to endure the pain of being pierced by an arrow again.
He wasn't that afraid of pain, but he was afraid of... forgetting how he felt about her at that moment.
When Yun Qingqing made the first stroke, she glanced at Yan Ning and thought to herself, it’s only been one night, how come the blood line has spread upwards a little more?
Could it be that he didn't trust himself and didn't use the talisman to suppress the love-eating?
But it doesn't make any difference anyway, just solve it.
Yan Ning's expression was too calm, so Yun Qingqing didn't think too much about it and concentrated on drawing the talisman.
On the other side, Shen Jiaojiao looked at her serious and determined profile, her heart becoming more and more flustered. She rushed forward and tried to pull her away, but was pulled back by the old lady.
"Chen Jiaojiao, what are you doing?" The old lady looked at her coldly, "Master Qingyun is detoxifying Aning, why are you stopping him?"
The old lady was always kind and amiable to the younger generation. As far as Shen Jiaojiao could remember, this was the first time she had spoken so harshly to her.
Her heart tightened, and she felt more and more that the development of things was beyond her control.
"No, auntie!" Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly defended herself, "You heard what she said just now. If we can't find the person who put the poison in our body, we can't remove it! I wanted to stop her because I was afraid that she would hurt Brother Yan by doing this. I'm doing this for Brother Yan's own good!"
The old lady was unmoved. Instead, she ordered the servants to pull Shen Jiaojiao back and said sternly:
"Keep an eye on her! If she breaks free and delays my son's detoxification, I'll hold you responsible!"
She had listened to Yun Qingqing and Yan Ning's explanation of the whole story while she was in the carriage, and she had been holding back from getting angry just to give Shen Jiaojiao one last chance to see if she still had any remorse.
But just now, when Yun Qingqing explained the viciousness of the Love-Eating Bitterness so clearly, and Shen Jiaojiao still refused to admit it and implicitly refused to detoxify Yan Ning, the old lady finally saw her true face and was completely disappointed.
The old lady was determined at this moment and would never let Shen Jiaojiao stop the detoxification.
At this time, Yun Qingqing had also finished drawing the rune. The golden rune flashed and disappeared into Yan Ning's skin. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked up at her, then lowered his eyes.
Yun Qingqing thought he was nervous and gave him a reassuring smile:
"Don't worry, it will be fine soon, but wait for me first."
As she spoke, she turned to Shen Jiaojiao and smiled calmly:
"What did you just say? Did I ever say that if we can't find the person who cast the poison, we can't remove it?"
Shen Jiaojiao said angrily:
"Didn't you say that yourself? So many people were listening, and you just turned around and denied it?"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Yun Qingqing shook her head and sighed.
"No, you misunderstood. I'm simply saying that if the blood of the person who poisoned you is present, neither party will be harmed when the poison is removed."
As she spoke, she turned around, held Yan Ning's wrist with one hand, and pressed two fingers of the other hand against the blood line.
A faint light appeared at the fingertips, and the blood line wherever it touched retreated little by little as if an army was defeated.
Shen Jiaojiao watched the blood line representing the degree of passion gradually fade away, her eyes widened:
“How could it be…”
Yun Qingqing used her spiritual power to dissolve the blood line while calmly saying:
"Of course not, I never said that if we can't find the person who put the poison on us, the poison can't be removed!"
Shen Jiaojiao's face turned pale:
"W-What do you mean! Explain it to me clearly... Ugh!"
She suddenly felt a piercing pain in her heart. She struggled to cover her heart, and the blood color on her lips faded in an instant.
Yun Qingqing didn't look back, she just curled her lips coldly:
"What I mean is, if the person who put the poison on me refuses to cooperate, I can only forcibly remove the poison, and then the person who put the poison on me will naturally suffer the consequences."
"Ugh!!!" Shen Jiaojiao felt another piercing pain, and her legs softened and she knelt down, soon curling up on the ground in pain.
Her consciousness was almost blurred, but she still heard Yun Qingqing's words clearly. The pain and boundless fear overwhelmed her.
"It hurts... Save me... Brother Yan..."
"I, I admit... I was the one who cast the poison... Please... I beg you to use my blood..."
"Don't go on... please stop..."
Yun Qingqing's blood had already dried up below her elbows. Listening to the endless cries of pain behind her, she shook her head and sighed:
"What a pity! Once the detoxification process begins, it cannot be interrupted. It's too late for you to admit it now."
"After all, I gave you enough chances a long time ago. It was you who felt that the pain wasn't your own, so you chose to hurt others to achieve your goals, wasn't it?"
“Ah!!!” Shen Jiaojiao rolled over on the ground in pain, screaming through tears, “It hurts so much! I know I was wrong! Forgive me, I won’t dare to do it again…Ah!!!”
Yun Qingqing's face was cold, and the blood line under her fingertips was almost reaching her wrist, with only a small section left.
"I advise you to save your energy for now. After all, this backlash is just like the onset of the poison, and it will get more severe as time goes on."
"You must endure this final heart-wrenching pain!"
Yun Qingqing's voice was light and calm.
Since you have chosen to harm others, you should bear the consequences yourself.
Sympathy for such a person is equivalent to being indifferent to those who have been harmed by her.
Shen Jiaojiao's screams were so shrill that they sounded like an inhuman being.
Yan Ning curled her fingertips and then released them.
Yun Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at him:
"What? Are you feeling sad?"
Yan Ning looked at Shen Jiaojiao, his cold eyes were calm.
He spoke calmly:
"She deserves it."
The moment the blood line completely disappeared, Shen Jiaojiao screamed and fainted.
And the last trace of reluctance in Yan Ning's eyes completely disappeared.
His relationship with Shen Jiaojiao was just that of a childhood playmate. It made no difference to him whether she was in his life or not.
After this incident, he wished he would never see this woman again in his life, as it would make him feel sick.
Yun Qingqing let out a long sigh, withdrew her hand, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Yan Ning's eyes fell on her face, he raised his arm slightly, then lowered his eyes and put it down.
He composed himself and turned to report to the old lady that he was safe.
The old lady pulled him back and thanked Yun Qingqing profusely.
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and glanced at Shen Jiaojiao, who was lying miserably on the ground with no one to take care of her.
"Didn't I scare Auntie just now?"
The old lady glared at Shen Jiaojiao with hatred and spat:
"When I think about what she did to my son, I wish she would suffer more!"
When Yun Qingqing left, the old lady accompanied her to the gate, held her hand and told her to come often when she was free, and not to be polite if she had any difficulties.
The carriage drove away, and the old lady watched it disappear around the corner and sighed softly.
"Such a good girl, how come she got married..."
Yan Ning sent Yun Qingqing back to the Regent's Palace.
As she walked towards the gate, she suddenly heard Yan Ning calling from behind:
"princess."
When she turned around, she saw Yan Ning standing tall in a green robe, bowing deeply to her.
He didn't say a word.
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly, turned around, bowed properly, and walked into the palace.
…
…
Xiao Changheng's treatment has reached the final stage.
Yun Qingqing always felt that this man had been a little too quiet recently. Whether he was taking a medicinal bath or giving acupuncture, except for necessary conversations, he always seemed to be in a daze.
It's not like when I have nothing to do, I always have at least one book in my hand to read.
He was just in a daze.
Yun Qingqing was not a nosy person, but she still felt that this man's silence was strange.
But she also thought that maybe the treatment was about to end and he would soon reach the point where he would have to test whether he could stand up again, which was why she was so nervous.
Maybe once the leg is truly healed, this person will be fine?
Yun Qingqing felt it was very likely.
Anyway, it was just the last few days, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Originally, Yun Qingqing didn't plan to go out again in the next few days, and Tianming Pavilion was temporarily closed.
She thought that once his leg was healed, she could put the divorce on the agenda.
When she regains her freedom, it will be fine for her to live in Tianming Pavilion. She will have plenty of time to cultivate her body and practice.
By then, she would be able to concentrate on her cultivation without distraction, just like in her previous life. Yun Qingqing was looking forward to it.
But early in the morning of this day, when she was preparing the final stage of the medicinal bath, Qiao'er hurried over.
"Miss, someone from the Tianming Pavilion is looking for you. It seems like there's something important going on."
Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned and said:
"Got it. Ask someone to wait a moment. I'll be there soon."
She quickly prepared the medicine, arranged for Xiao Changheng to get into the water, and then went to the front hall.
The one who came was Lianxia.
As soon as she saw Yun Qingqing, she hurried over and said:
"Master, I was closed today as you instructed, but a customer came, and I don't know what to do. That's why I came to ask you for some advice."
Yun Qingqing was stunned:
“It’s not open for business, but people still come in?”
When Tianming Pavilion is operating normally, only those with the right karma can enter. When it is closed, it is completely invisible to ordinary people.
Anyone who can still enter the door at this time is definitely not a simple person.
Yun Qingqing's expression turned serious:
"Got it, I'll go over now."
She asked the servant to leave a message for Xiao Changheng, then changed her clothes and hurried out.
When Yun Qingqing arrived at Tianming Pavilion, she was a little surprised as soon as she entered the house.
Sitting in the room was a woman in simple clothes and a little boy who looked to be eight or nine years old.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual about the woman; she was just an ordinary person.
Yun Qingqing's gaze fell on the little boy again.
