Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

The giant python was shaking its body and spitting out red tongue as it approached her. Because Qu Xin had his back to Xuan He, he couldn't see her expression, but he felt that she seemed to be in a desperate situation.

"Be careful!" Xuan He shouted and quickly drew his sword to chop at the python's head.

Qu Xin didn't expect him to act so decisively. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly sprinkled a handful of powder, forcing the giant python to retreat and save its life.

Xuan He's sword missed and stabbed into the ground not far away. After confirming that the giant python had moved away from Qu Xin and had gone into the bushes, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, put away his sword, and extended his hand to Qu Xin.

"Girl, are you okay?" Xuan He asked.

"fine."

Qu Xin smiled in response and gently placed her hand in his palm. With Xuan He's help, she stood up, but she suddenly tilted her body and fell into his arms.

Xuan He was at a loss for a moment. This was the first time he had such close contact with a woman. He stood stiffly, his hands hanging in the air, not knowing what to do.

Qu Xin noticed his nervousness and laughed secretly in his heart. This honest man was stunned so easily. It was just an unexpected touch, and he seemed so at a loss.

"Master, I..."

Xuan He wanted to say something, but Qu Xin spoke first. She frowned and looked up at him, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "I think I sprained my foot."

Considering the dangers that a weak woman like Qu Xin might encounter when traveling alone, and considering that they were on the same road, Xuan He decided to help her. He promised to take her to Yingxia and arranged for her to rest in the inn while he went to book a room.

In this way, Xuan He and Qu Xin walked into the inn together. Xuan He carefully helped her sit down, and then went to find the innkeeper to arrange accommodation.

"Hey, you know what? Bei Ling has become a lot more popular lately!"

As soon as he sat down, Qu Xin caught the whispers from the people at the next table.

"Oh, what's new?"

"I heard that the fifth princess and her cousin were very close, and were even caught in the act!"

"Wow, royal secrets are always so fascinating. The princess and her cousin, it's really exciting."

The man smiled maliciously, as if he was the protagonist in the story. Even without looking, one knew what he was thinking.

Another person was talking non-stop under the influence of alcohol: "In fact, this man was originally targeting Princess Changle who was held as a hostage, but for some reason he ended up being involved with the Fifth Princess.

In my opinion, Princess Changle is much more beautiful than the fifth princess. If I were to choose, I would definitely pick the most beautiful one!"

As Qu Xin listened to these words, his face gradually became gloomy.

She and Jiang Xue have known each other since childhood. Although they often quarrel, that is just their unique way of getting along with each other. True feelings cannot be hidden.

As for Jiang Xue's evaluation, Qu Xin felt that she was the only one who had the right to speak out. She absolutely could not tolerate others talking behind her back, especially with such a contemptuous attitude.

Not to mention that what she heard now was not just gossip, but naked insults and contempt, which had touched her bottom line!

She moved her fingers gently, and two small spiders that looked like purple gauze embroidered with red patterns slid down her sleeves and silently drilled into the bodies of the two men.

Soon, they screamed in pain, their bodies convulsed violently, and finally collapsed to the ground.

This scene attracted the attention of people around, and the waiter hurried over to check.

However, when I saw the miserable condition of the two men, I almost fainted - the skin on their faces had begun to fester, especially on their mouths. Their tongues were also atrophied and deformed, and they were unable to speak and could only make unclear sounds.

Yellow pus continued to flow out of the eyes, nose and ears, and the scene was both horrifying and disgusting.

Xuan He walked over after booking the room and frowned when he saw this scene.

This was obviously a sign of poisoning, and the poison was strong. He looked around and didn't see any suspicious people. How did these people get poisoned?

In order to prevent things from getting worse, Xuan He decided to take immediate action to comfort other people at the scene while looking for possible antidotes or help.

At the same time, he also realized that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this scene and he had to deal with it carefully.

"Taoist Master."

Xuan He was about to check the pulses of the two poisoned guests when Qu Xin gently pressed his arm and reminded him, "Master, my feet still hurt. Can't you take me to the room to rest first?"

She didn't want Xuan He to be in danger because of the purple spider's poison. After all, she was still counting on him to take her to Ying Xia.

Xuan He looked at the two people on the ground and seemed a little hesitant: "But they..."

At this time, the waiter sniffed and reported to the shopkeeper with a pale face: "Shopkeeper, this person is dead!"

The shopkeeper was well-informed and did not panic in the face of such a situation.

He ordered his men to ask the coffin bearers to deal with the body, and comforted the frightened guests, promising to halve the room rate as an apology. Then he personally led Xuan He and Qu Xin to the guest rooms.

When they got outside the door, Qu Xin looked up at the room and asked Xuan He with a smile: "Didn't we agree on two rooms? Why is there only one now?"

Xuan He explained expressionlessly: "The shopkeeper said that all other rooms are fully booked, and this is the only room with two beds, so don't worry too much."

Qu Xin couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

This honest man is so lovable. She doesn't mind living in the same room with Xuan He. People in Jianghu don't need to be obsessed with such details.

Her joke was just to amuse him.

After entering the room, she found that the layout here was quite good, spacious and bright, with clear inner and outer rooms. There were two beds side by side in the inner room, almost within reach.

Xuan He continued, "We may need to stay here for a few days, because the master has sent me a task that I must complete before I can continue my journey. I may not be able to accompany the girl for the next few days."

As he spoke, he handed her a jade whistle: "This is for you. Blow it when you are in danger, and I will come as soon as possible."

Along the way, Xuan He never knew Qu Xin's true strength, so he arranged this signal very carefully.

Qu Xin took the whistle from the Taoist priest and smiled slightly: "The Taoist priest is really considerate."

She blew gently, and the clear sound of the whistle echoed in the air. This whistle not only sounded pleasant, but also its crystal clear appearance made her love it.

Having had a special liking for jade since childhood, she was immediately attracted to this exquisite little object.

"Then I won't be polite. Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Qu Xin's smile was as bright as the sun, which made Xuan He lose his mind for a moment. He had never seen such a moving smile before, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Taoist priest?"

Seeing that he was stunned, Qu Xin waved his hand in front of him jokingly and called softly, "Master, come back to your senses!"

Xuan He suddenly came back to his senses, realized his own gaffe, and bowed hastily to apologize: "I was distracted just now, please don't blame me, young lady."
