Volume Three: Truth and Falsehood in the Palace, Two Medicinal Instructions 6

"Heh, Miss Shuangdie, didn't you want to know my name back then?" Qingyun chuckled softly.

"It really is you..." She had searched high and low for years, unable to find the girl in green who had saved her years ago. She never imagined that the person she was repaying her debt of gratitude to would be the very person she had once wished to kill!

"Silver powder," Qingyun reminded her.

A hint of despair flickered in Shuangdie's silver eyes, but the despair quickly turned into cold mockery. She said, "I really don't have any silver powder. But I can tell you where I got it. However, from now on, I, Shuangdie, owe you nothing."

"good."

"The silver powder of the Yinmengshan tribe has always been taken from the eyes of the Lingbao Tianzun we worship. Fengxi, however, worships Buddhist statues. Even if they worship the Lingbao Tianzun of Taoism, it's extremely rare." A smug glint flashed in Shuangdie's eyes. "Even if they did, you'd have a hard time finding him now. Haha, he's destined to die!"

Qingyun wasn't angry. She stared into her eyes for a long time before shaking her head. "Haven't you loved Situ Xingzhi for a long time?"

"So what? I gave him almost everything, and he wouldn't even spare me a glance! If you can't have it, you have to destroy it! Besides, you love him so much, if he dies, you'll be devastated just the same."

Ripples spread across Qingyun's eyes as she stared at her, noticing a hint of madness creeping into her silver eyes.

She shook her head gently again, and as she turned to walk to the door, she murmured, "Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves."

Shuangdie sneered, "Only you know that I poisoned him. Even if you tell others, no one will believe you! No one in this world will know that I poisoned Prince Ander."

"I know."

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out in the air.

A dim palace lantern lit up in the darkness, and Situ Xingyun's face gradually came into focus. His expression was somber, and his eyes were deep, much like the dark clouds on the horizon.

Shuangdie's face turned deathly pale.

Qingyun was not surprised by Situ Xingyun's appearance. Before coming to the Butterfly Palace, she deliberately flashed in front of Situ Xingyun, who was still gazing at the bright moon in the middle of the night. When she said "harming others will ultimately harm oneself," she heard Situ Xingyun's light footsteps.

Qingyun looked up at Situ Xingyun, "Xingyun, she is ultimately Fengxi's only princess."

Situ Xingyun was taken aback.

After a long silence, he said, "I understand."

Qingyun nodded gently and took a step away from the Butterfly Palace.

After leaving the Butterfly Palace, Qingyun lightly touched the ground with her toes, leaped over countless pavilions, jumped over palace walls, and ran towards a temple deep in the mountains outside the city.

Two years ago, she and Situ Xingyun went to a temple deep in the mountains outside the city to draw lots. She remembered that the temple enshrined there was the Taoist deity Lingbao Tianzun.

She still remembered the silver light that flashed in Lingbao Tianzun's eyes when she went to the temple to pour water that night.

But two years have passed, and many things have changed. Will that Lingbao Tianzun still exist?

With this thought in mind, Qingyun felt a little worried, so she quickened her pace and flew towards the outside of the city.

It was a bit chilly in the deep mountains, and Qingyun couldn't help but shiver.

After finding the temple, Qingyun secretly sneaked inside.

When Qingyun saw the eyes of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable quietly radiating silver light, she was overjoyed and quickly jumped up.

She bowed deeply to Lingbao Tianzun, then began scraping the silver powder from its eyes and collecting it into a small porcelain bottle.

Before long, the small porcelain bottle was full.

Qingyun bowed deeply again and said in a low voice, "Saving lives is the priority. In a few days, I will definitely have someone make several more Lingbao Tianzun statues."

Having said that, Qingyun quickly left.

At that moment, a cluster of dim yellow candlelight lit up.

"Master, should we go after them?"

"No."

"But……"

"My disciple... saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda." And that girl...

Alas, life is unpredictable!
