"I did it," Qu Qingxi said without denying it.
"Then do you dare to spar with me?" the man asked slowly, staring at Qu Qingxi.
"You don't even dare to say your name, so why should I spar with you?" Qu Qingxi never took her hands out of her cloak, seemingly not taking the other party seriously at all.
The man also sensed Qu Qingxi's contempt and couldn't help but get angry. He snorted coldly, "I am from Wan Chong Shan, and my name is Die Feng."
"So you're from Wan Chong Shan." Qu Qingxi said seriously. In fact, she had never heard of this name before. However, she didn't care where Die Feng was from. She just wanted to know if this person was the one Zhou Wenli brought.
"I remember that the people of Wan Chong Mountain don't leave the mountain easily. Why would you break the rules there and work for a Han Chinese?" Qu Qingxi's smile faded as she questioned him.
This wasn't just Qu Qingxi making things up. She had some understanding of people like this; they generally didn't like to have too much contact with outsiders. They had their own lives and their own circles, and they wouldn't come out unless it was something important.
Moreover, raising Gu is against the natural order, and most Gu farmers will suffer a backlash. They will stay in their own places and rarely come out.
"This is my business, it's none of your concern. And who did you learn this from, and why do you also know about Gu?" The man was humiliated by what he said and retorted angrily.
"So, the Gu Master next to Zhou Wenli is you?"
"So what if it's me?"
"You have broken the rules of this sect, so you must be punished." Seeing that the other party had admitted his identity, Qu Qingxi smiled faintly, but the smile was full of murderous intent.
Although Gu worms are somewhat evil, most Gu masters do not use them directly to harm people. However, Die Feng is willing to become Zhou Wenli's lackey, helping Zhou Wenli to harm people and even injuring innocent people. He is truly despicable.
"You still haven't told me where you learned the Gu worm technique." The man also wanted to know Qu Qingxi's background. As far as he knew, there was no such person as Qu Qingxi in Wan Chong Mountain. Moreover, the Fifth Prince had said that Qu Qingxi was a native of the capital of Ling Dynasty.
Die Feng guessed that other experts must have unintentionally taken Qu Qingxi as their disciple and taught her some things. Moreover, even in Wan Zhong, everyone was terrified of Die Feng's name. The fact that Qu Qingxi had no reaction after hearing his name meant that Qu Qingxi was probably even more powerful than him.
Die Feng couldn't help but become wary, but he had no idea that Qu Qingxi was just bluffing. Qu Qingxi only knew how to remove Gu poison, and she didn't know how to create Gu poison at all.
"Hmph, with your status, you're not worthy to know who my master is," Qu Qingxi said casually. She didn't have a master at all.
"Then I'll see just how good you really are." Disappointed by Qu Qingxi's continued disrespect, Die Feng decided to cut to the chase and charged directly at her. With a flick of his sleeve, a dark, gooey object shot towards Qu Qingxi.
Although Qu Qingxi did not know how to use Gu worms, she naturally had her own ways of dealing with them.
Qu Qingxi held her breath and put the ball of stuff directly into her spatial storage. Then she threw a handful of silver needles at it. Die Feng, who was coming up to meet her, was instantly stunned. Where was the Gu worm he had just thrown out? How could it have disappeared into thin air as soon as it got close to Qu Qingxi?
Also, why did Qu Qingxi throw a handful of silver needles at him instead of Gu worms?
Fortunately, he was somewhat skilled and quickly dodged the attack.
"You..." Die Feng was about to question Qu Qingxi about why she didn't use Gu worms when fighting him, but instead used silver needles. Wasn't this an insult to him? But he only managed to say "you" before he saw another white thing coming towards him from the other side.
Die Feng thought it was a Gu worm and was preparing to deal with it, but who knew it was just a clump of powder. Moreover, before Die Feng could do anything, he suddenly felt his vision go black and then lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.
Qu Qingxi threw a white sedative at him.
This is like two people fighting. You've just pulled out a cannon, ready to show off your skills and shock the enemy, but the other person suddenly gives you an anesthetic injection.
Qu Qingxi covered her nose and walked up to Die Feng. Only then did she see his true face clearly. He had an ordinary face, but his eyes and brows revealed a strange and sinister look.
There's some truth to the saying that one's appearance reflects their inner state. Besides, it's normal for Die Feng's eyebrows and eyes to change after being in contact with Gu worms for so long.
Qu Qingxi simply glanced down at Die Feng without making any contact with him.
Die Feng must have been very surprised. He thought she would use Gu worms to fight him, but she wouldn't be so foolish as to honestly fight a villain.
It would be better to just drug him, take him away, and see what Zhou Wenli has left to be arrogant about.
With gentlemen, rules apply, but with this kind of person, as long as you win, who cares what methods they use, as long as the result is good.
He Liufeng and Qingdai had expected to see Qu Qingxi display her skills today, but to their surprise, Qu Qingxi used a sleeping potion to knock them unconscious. This action stunned He Liufeng and Qingdai.
“Your Highness, this…” Qingdai pointed to the person on the ground, somewhat puzzled.
"We'll have someone pack it up in a sack later and take it back to the Prince's Mansion," Qu Qingxi clapped her hands.
"Huh? Oh." Although Qingdai was still a little confused, she obediently asked someone to take the person off the ground.
Fearing that Die Feng might wake up again during transport due to the Gu worms, Qu Qingxi poured some high-purity sleeping potion into his mouth before she was completely at ease.
"Is that all?" He Liufeng raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Qu Qingxi who looked relaxed.
“Yes, what else?” Qu Qingxi nodded matter-of-factly, then jumped onto the carriage, with He Liufeng following closely behind.
"I thought you were going to show off your skills," He Liufeng said, voicing his doubts.
He saw Die Feng throw a dark, indistinct thing at Qu Qingxi, but somehow Qu Qingxi somehow made that thing disappear into thin air and even drugged him.
"He threw Gu worms at me, and I didn't have any Gu worms around me, so of course I couldn't fight back. So I could only knock him unconscious. As long as the effect is achieved, that's fine. For this kind of person, there's no need to worry about the process," Qu Qingxi said righteously.
"That makes sense." He Liufeng suddenly realized. Yes, dealing with this kind of person doesn't require using any honorable means.
Upon returning to the Prince's Mansion, Qu Qingxi did not go back to her own courtyard, but instead followed Qingdai and Diefeng directly to the dungeon.
At Qu Qingxi's request, Qingdai specially found a dry stone chamber. It was almost empty, and even the stone door was a mechanism, making it impossible to open from the inside.
