Kapitel 13

Although Yang Nianqing didn't know what the Myriad Poison Blood Palm was, seeing the disbelieving looks on their faces and hearing that the martial art had been lost, she couldn't help but have some doubts as well. She slowly moved closer to Qiu Bailu and whispered, "Brother Qiu, shouldn't you take another look..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bailu's expression immediately darkened, as if she were displeased.

“In that case, it must be the Myriad Poison Blood Palm,” Li You suddenly smiled and interrupted, “Who in the world would dare not believe what Mr. Chrysanthemum says?”

Qiu Bailu's complexion improved somewhat.

.

A hint of doubt flashed in her phoenix eyes, and Nangong Xue shook her head: "It is said that after the Ten Thousand Poisons Demoness committed suicide thirty years ago, the Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm technique was lost. How could it suddenly reappear in the martial arts world?"

“Now that you know, what are you still doing here?” Qiu Bailu frowned impatiently. “You can leave now. I have never been interested in these things.”

It was clearly an invitation to leave.

"You're kicking your friend out like that?" Yang Nianqing had been walking around the formation for most of the day and was already a bit hungry. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel deflated—this Qiu Bailu was really too inconsiderate!

Looking to the side, He Bi remained expressionless, while Nangong Xue smiled wryly and remained silent.

Li You, however, genuinely showed disappointment and sighed, "It seems I must make friends with more generous people in the future. The number one divine doctor is also the number one miser; he can't even afford to treat his friends to a meal."

His tone sounded helpless, yet his long, narrow eyes were full of joy.

Qiu Bailu said calmly, "Friends can't just eat for free."

Li You blinked, seemingly feeling regretful: "Strange, why don't you become an assassin?" Before anyone could speak, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "If I were to become an assassin, I would definitely be known as 'Half-Pound Assassin,' not Black Fourth Brother."

Qiu Bailu wasn't angry; she just glanced at him and said, "Even a divine doctor can kill."

Li You coughed and nodded: "That makes sense. If a divine doctor wanted to kill, he could kill just as many people as a quack doctor."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Bailu's face was already full of black lines.

This aloof and composed person has actually been provoked by someone's words, and it seems like he's about to explode! Yang Nianqing chuckled inwardly, looking at Li You, who was standing next to her with a sympathetic yet gloating expression—does he even know how he died?

It turns out that Qiu Bailu, who was known as Mr. Chrysanthemum, was always proud and arrogant, and very confident in his medical skills. He couldn't stand it when others questioned his medical skills. So when he heard Li You say that, even though he knew that Li You was doing it on purpose, he still couldn't help but get angry.

At this very moment—

He Bi suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

His tone was very sincere.

After saying that, he stopped talking, flipped his hands over, and the coffin lid on the ground immediately flew into the air and fell down with a "bang," sealing the coffin tightly. Before Yang Nianqing could even see clearly, the coffin had inexplicably flown out of the door and landed directly on the carriage with only a slight sound.

Is this the legendary master with profound skills? Yang Nianqing came back to her senses and secretly admired him.

So hungry...

"Tears of the Chrysanthemum," a magnetic and curious voice said, "have you heard of it?"

"No." A gentle voice replied.

"Yes, it was that patch of tear chrysanthemums, and that's when I met Mr. Chrysanthemum." Thinking about how he had driven her away, Yang Nianqing was still a little unhappy. She stopped calling him "Brother Qiu" and started calling him "Mr. Chrysanthemum."

Li You thought for a moment and shook his head: "I've never seen this kind of creature in the formation before."

Yang Nianqing gestured, trying her best to explain: "A very beautiful chrysanthemum, about... this big, with white petals and red spots..."

Li You became even more curious: "Red?"

“Yes, red,” Yang Nianqing said, feeling a little uncomfortable. “It’s clearly red, so why call it Tear Chrysanthemum? He even said that tears can be red… It’s weird.”

Nangong Xue also looked surprised, but neither of them were particularly astonished. Mr. Chrysanthemum was known for his eccentric behavior, and his chrysanthemum name was even more famous for its strangeness.

Nangong Xue smiled: "I'm afraid it's just another one of his new breeds."

Li You nodded, a look of interest returning to his long, narrow eyes: "I've never heard of this before. I'll definitely take a good look at it next time I come."

Yang Nianqing glared at him: "He only said that you should stop bringing women to gamble and trample on his flowers."

“Of course,” Li You sighed, looking troubled. “Every time I make a bet, I end up getting myself into trouble.”

Yang Nianqing suppressed a laugh and coughed twice: "So, who won the bet we made today?"

"Of course it's me."

“What?” she exclaimed. “I’ve already come out.”

"If he hadn't led the way, would you have been able to get out?"

Yang Nianqing retorted, her face stern: "Hey, do you know how dangerous it was for me back then? If I had stepped on those flowers, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out..."

“You won’t die,” He Bi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “Someone will naturally search for you.”

Nangong Xue looked at Li You and found it somewhat amusing: "That's right, it's just that Brother Li will have to go through a bit more trouble."

He Bi interrupted, "It's alright, he's caused this kind of trouble many times before."

Seeing the two of them putting on a show, Li You didn't mind. He just blinked and looked at Yang Nianqing as if he had realized something: "Fortunately, I didn't have to go through so much trouble today. It was really lucky. It seems that in the future, it's better to find someone who doesn't like to step on flowers when making bets."

Thinking about the bet he made before, Yang Nianqing finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Serves him right!"

.

"If a person doesn't even cherish the life of a plant, why bother saving his life?"

Thinking of what he had said, Yang Nianqing shook her head and nodded at the same time, muttering, "Although he is not a very good friend, at least he is not a bad person for saying such things."

To everyone's surprise, Li You interrupted, "Wrong, he is a very good friend."

He no longer cared about Qiu Bailu's order to leave.

Yang Nianqing looked at him suspiciously: "You...were you arguing with him just now?"

“My arguing with him doesn’t mean he’s not a good friend.”

"You really don't blame him?"

"He is our friend."

"Friend?" Yang Nianqing finally couldn't help but exclaim, her face full of displeasure. "You came all this way to see him, but he's telling you to leave. Is that what kind of friend he is?"

"Of course," 6a

Yang Nianqing was stunned. (32)

Is he a good friend? His friend came all the way to ask for his help, but he was in a hurry to send his friend away and wouldn't even let him stay for a meal. How can someone like that be considered a good friend?

"Are you sure you mean Mr. Chrysanthemum?" She looked at him incredulously. "You think he's a good friend?"

"Not bad." A cold voice rang out.

Yang Nianqing glanced at He Bi, who was speaking, still somewhat indignant: "But he was in a hurry to get rid of us, and even said we were eating and drinking for free, humph..."

“He has already helped us,” He Bi said coldly. “If we stay, we’ll just be eating and drinking for free.”

She curled her lip: "Just because he helped you identify the body?"

"yes."

Hearing this, Yang Nianqing ignored her, rolled her eyes, and suddenly looked up at Li You: "It's a pity your friend is about to be driven crazy by you."

“I’m angry with him because I think he’s more human when he’s angry,” Li You sighed. “The First Divine Physician, if someone acts like a god every day, he’s not lovable.”

Yang Nianqing thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then deliberately pointed at He Bi: "He's also a god, a divine constable, cough, shouldn't you make him angrier too?"

“I think so too,” Li You blinked, looking helpless. “Unfortunately, his skin is much thicker than Lao Qiu’s. It’s already lucky that he didn’t drive us crazy.”

He Bi glared at him coldly: "If you don't want to be driven mad by me, you'd better keep quiet."

.

Seeing them joking around, not at all as serious and heavy as solving a case, Yang Nianqing suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart, as if she had returned to the life of playing and having fun with her friends.

"He seemed to have said it was the Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm, but what exactly is the Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm?"

He Bi immediately shut up and said nothing.

Nangong Xue remained silent for a long while, then smiled: "The Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm is the unique martial art of Yun Biyue, the Ten Thousand Poison Demoness. Back then, Yun Biyue was heartbroken and spent ten years of her youth creating this vicious palm technique. Its greatest characteristic is that the death after being struck by the palm is no different from that of being poisoned. Countless heroes have died by it. However, Yun Biyue lived a lonely life and never took on any disciples. Since her suicide thirty years ago, the Ten Thousand Poison Blood Palm has been lost. How could it have reappeared in the martial arts world now?"

Women are naturally gossipy, and after listening to his long speech, Yang Nianqing lost interest in the Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm and instead became interested in this martial arts tale: "How did that Ten Thousand Poisons Demoness get hurt by love?"

Nangong Xue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently: "It happened decades ago, and there are many rumors in the martial arts world. I only heard about it secondhand, so how would I know much?"

Yang Nianqing was deflated.

Li You suddenly smiled and leaned back: "Whether it's hearsay or not, the Ten Thousand Poisons Demoness wasn't originally called a demoness. Instead, she was a famous beauty in the martial arts world. It's a pity I was born a few years too late and couldn't see her beauty. It's a real regret in my life."

Oh my god, even storytelling can't stray from its roots!

Yang Nianqing glared at him, amused, and muttered, "Playboy!"

He Bi also gave him a cold look: "It's a pity that a playboy like you, who is both philandering and unfaithful, was born a few years earlier. She could have killed you a hundred times over."

Nangong Xue also laughed and said, "That's true. I have indeed heard that Yun Biyue hates unfaithful and philandering men the most. She kills them every time she encounters one. Brother Li should be glad that he was born a few years too late."

Upon hearing this, Li You was not angry: "Everyone has a love for beauty, so why should I be the only one to be punished?"

"And 'love of beauty'..." Yang Nianqing pouted, curious, "Then how did Yun Biyue become the Ten Thousand Poisons Demoness?"

.

"Rumor has it that she was jilted by Bai Erxia, one of the 'Bai Brothers,' and out of love turned to hatred, she vowed to kill the unfaithful man with her palm. Therefore, she hid in the martial world for ten years and finally created this extremely vicious palm technique. Most of those who died by her palm were philandering and unfaithful men."

At this point, Nangong Xue couldn't help but smile and glance at Li You: "Because the way those who are struck by this palm strike die is extremely similar to those who die from poison, some people call it the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Blood Palm'."

Yang Nianqing nodded: "Now that she has mastered martial arts, did she kill that Bai Erxia?"

Nangong Xue sighed: "She trained hard for more than ten years just to get revenge for what she did back then. Years of hatred have changed her personality drastically, making her cruel, vicious, and indiscriminate in killing."

"Later, she found the secluded place of the Bai brothers and killed them with her bare hands. However, unexpectedly, after killing the two Bai brothers, she also committed suicide on the spot. Although the people of the martial arts world hated her for killing innocent people, they also pitied her for her infatuation and did not pursue the matter. The place where the three of them were buried, which was Yimeng Manor, was renamed Duanqing Manor."
