Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 773 A Bigger Storm
The poisonous insect could not survive after leaving the human body, so it died as soon as it came out.
"How do you feel now?" Qu Xin asked with concern when she saw his complexion gradually improving.
"My meridians are unblocked, and my Qi and blood are much more active." Xuan He tried to practice his skills and found that his Qi was purer than before.
This pill is indeed a miracle drug! Qu Xin heaved a sigh of relief and explained, "Fortunately, we found it early, and the poisonous insect has not grown up yet, so it is not difficult to remove it."
"It turns out Miss Qu went to collect herbs to detoxify me!"
Xuan He thought of the scent of money grass he smelled when he found her, and the shopkeeper's mention of her going to collect herbs, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Apart from his master, no one had ever been so attentive to him.
Thinking about how he was angry because of her injuries and left her here alone, Xuan He felt more and more guilty.
"We can save the thanks later. Taoist Priest, please deal with the current situation first." Qu Xin pointed at Qu Shang and said.
Xuan He nodded, concentrated his mind and activated his internal strength, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, striking Qu Shang directly!
There was a loud bang, and the lobby of the inn was instantly covered by smoke. When the smoke cleared, Qu Shang and Li Yi had already disappeared.
"Where is he?" Qu Xin frowned, as there was no sign of Qu Shang around.
"They may have already left. Those two are very skilled in martial arts, especially the tall one, whose speed and strength are beyond ordinary people."
The shopkeeper came over with the account book in his hand, smiled politely at the two of them, and then spread out the account book and handed it over:
"Now that they are gone, you two will have to bear the losses. These are the damaged items and expenses caused by the fight just now. Please check them."
In the room, Qu Xin lay on the edge of the bed, watching Xuan He who was sitting in meditation and regulating his breathing.
"Master Xuanhe, how rich is your Qingxu Sect?"
She recalled the 100 taels of silver he had just paid to the shopkeeper, a large sum that even surprised the shopkeeper. Only then did she realize that the man she was traveling with was actually a small wealthy man.
Xuan He was disturbed by her gaze and could not concentrate on his practice, so he had to open his eyes and look at her.
"I don't know much about wealth. From childhood to adulthood, I didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and my master also distributed silver regularly. This time when I went down the mountain, my master was worried that I wouldn't have enough, so he gave me some extra."
"Can I see your purse?" Qu Xin asked, touching his chin.
"Sure." Xuan He took off the purse from his waist and handed it to her without hesitation.
"You give it to me so easily, aren't you worried that I will run away with your purse?" Qu Xin felt a little embarrassed. Doesn't this honest man know that the world is dangerous?
"I believe Miss Qu will not do that." Xuan He replied.
Qu Xin chuckled. This guy looked dull, but he knew how to trust people. She smiled and sat down with Xuan He, pouring out everything in the purse and counting them carefully.
Hey! What a rich man! So much silver plus a dozen gold leaves are worth at least three hundred taels of silver! No wonder he was so generous when paying without even blinking an eye.
"Master, Qu Shang mentioned before that you helped him deal with something. Can you tell us what it was specifically?" She never had the chance to ask in detail what exactly happened between them.
Xuan He's expression was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he slowly replied, "I released a saint from the Blood Poison Cult."
At that time, Ding Tu only said that he wanted to rescue a trapped woman, but did not reveal her identity. If he knew that the woman was the Saint of the Blood Poison Sect, he would never have participated in the rescue.
When Qu Xin heard the name of the Holy Maiden of the Blood Poison Sect, she was slightly startled. Although she had been in the sect for a long time, her master would regularly inform her of news from the outside world.
Not long ago, the master mentioned that the Saint of the Blood Poison Sect, Mo Xue, was expelled due to an internal power struggle and her whereabouts have been unknown since then.
"Are you sure she is from the Blood Poison Cult?" Qu Xin asked.
Xuan He confirmed: "Yes, I heard Ding Tu call her that with my own ears."
Mo Xue's feelings for Shen Yunsheng are complex and strong, and now that she has been rescued, she will most likely go to Changle Mountain immediately to cause trouble for him.
Realizing this, Qu Xin felt that the situation was tricky and felt it necessary to immediately notify Changle Mountain to strengthen vigilance.
"Miss Qu?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Xuan He called softly: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, how is the Holy Maiden of the Blood Poison Cult involved with the Red Moon Cult and Ding Tu? They went to great lengths to ask you to save people, what is their purpose behind this?" Qu Xin responded.
“If Taoist Wentian were here, he might be able to solve these mysteries.” Taoist Wentian, the leader of the Qingxu Sect, is famous for his wisdom and cultivation.
"It seems that we have to speed up our pace next." Xuan He said, because they needed to return to the sect as soon as possible to report the matter to avoid being involved in a bigger storm.
After treating Qu Xin's wound, the two decided to set off overnight. After three days and three nights of continuous travel, they finally arrived at the town closest to Yingxia.
"Master, should we take a rest tonight? We haven't slept for three consecutive days, and our bodies can't take it."
Qu Xin had never experienced such a tiring journey. When she was in the Five Poison Valley, she always chose the most comfortable posture to rest as much as possible.
"Miss Qu, you have worked hard these past few days. Let's take a rest tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."
Seeing her pale face, Xuan He's heart was full of gratitude and apology, so he specially booked a room for her in the best inn in the city, hoping that she could get enough rest.
During this trip, he and Qu Xin each had their own independent space, making their daily life more convenient.
In the evening, Xuan He changed his clothes and prepared to eat, but he didn't see Qu Xin coming downstairs. He was a little worried, so he went upstairs and knocked on her door gently: "Miss Qu?"
No one answered the door after knocking on it several times, which made Xuan He feel anxious.
During the past few days of traveling, he had been asking for news about Qu Shang, but to no avail. Considering Qu Shang's hostility towards Qu Xin, Xuan He became increasingly uneasy.
"Miss Qu, I'm sorry." In order to ensure her safety, Xuan He took a deep breath and then carefully pushed open the door.
After entering the room, Xuan He quickly looked around for Qu Xin.
"Miss Qu?"
He stood at the door and called softly, glancing at the bed through the veil. However, the bedding on the bed was as neat as before, and it was obvious that no one had ever slept there.
Just as he was wondering, he found a discarded shoe and a blood-stained belt in the corner.
The window was half open, and a bandage was swaying in the wind. This scene made Xuan He's heart tighten. Could it be that Qu Xin really met with an accident?
Just as he was about to check the situation outside through the window, a voice came from behind the screen: "Master, why are you here?"
It turned out to be Qu Xin. She had just finished taking a bath, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, with a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, making her look particularly charming.
She was only wearing a piece of white cloth and looked a little lazy, as if she had just woken up, which was completely different from her usual image.
This scene made Xuan He's heart beat faster, but he quickly adjusted himself and turned his head to avoid looking directly at it.
