Qing Yu looked at the poison master Fan Qing and said, "It has been a day and a night."
Fan Qing: "So long?"
Qing Yu nodded, "Yes..."
"Did you not tell the Empress about the rules of Poison King Valley?" Fan Qing asked.
Qing Yu: "Master, I told her, but the Empress said that if Master refused to accept the corpse, then she would kneel there until Master agreed." Da Feng Novel Network
Fan Qing heard this, rubbed his hair, and said with some annoyance, "This Empress is giving me a difficult time!"
"Master, Poison King Valley is in the desolate marsh, and the one kneeling outside is the most noble person in this desolate marsh. You..." Is it good to refuse like this? Are you not afraid that the Empress of the Desolate Marsh will send people to flatten Poison King Valley?
Fan Qing knocked on Qing Yu's head and said angrily, "Do you think your master hasn't thought of what you've thought of?"
Qing Yu: "..." If you thought of it, why are you still watching the Empress kneel for a day and a night?
Indeed, he didn't understand his master's intentions.
"The rules of Poison King Valley are that no outsiders are allowed to enter the valley, not even the King of Heaven." Fan Qing said angrily.
"What happens if outsiders enter?" Qing Yu asked curiously.
Fan Qing's expression became serious, and he looked at Qing Yu coldly, "Qing Yu, you must never violate the rules of Poison King Valley; the consequences are likely something you cannot bear."
Qing Yu was startled. He rarely saw his master so serious and solemn. He frowned, "Then let the Empress kneel there?" Qing Yu felt that the Empress would not give up until her goal was achieved.
Fan Qing sighed, pushed the door open, and Qing Yu quickly stepped forward.
She had been kneeling here for a day and a night without a drop of water, but she did not feel any hardship. As long as she could save Yan Zhao, she was willing.
It was a pity that Poison King Valley was unwilling to break its rules and accept Yan Zhao's corpse.
"Your Majesty, let's go back!"
She raised her head and saw a man in a Taoist robe. His expression was cold, and his gaze towards her was also cold.
"As long as you accept this corpse, I can promise you one condition. What you get is the promise of the highest authority in the desolate marsh."
Fan Qing sighed, "Your Majesty, it's not that I refuse, but that Poison King Valley has a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter, and those who break it will die."
Xue Zining was startled, and her eyes drooped, "I know, but only Poison King Valley can preserve his corpse now."
"Your Majesty, I am powerless to help," Fan Qing said, bowed, and turned to leave.
"Your Majesty, what are you dawdling with him for? Let's barge in..." Xue Yan, who had been kneeling with Xue Zining for a day and a night, wiped the sweat from her face and said angrily.
After kneeling for a day and a night, they got such an answer. Was this a joke?
Fan Qing turned around and sneered at Xue Yan, "Barge in? Then you can try!"
Xue Yan was unconvinced and was about to barge into Poison King Valley, but Xue Zining behind her stopped her, "Xue Yan, stand down."
Xue Yan looked at her unhappily and said, "Your Majesty, Poison King Valley is going too far."
"Xue Yan, this is my decision, and it has nothing to do with others. As long as..."
As long as Yan Zhao's corpse could be preserved, what did it matter to kneel for a day and a night?
Xue Yan heard this and said, "Then it is even more important to let your servant barge in and capture that poison master."
"If you capture him, will he accept it?" Xue Zining raised an eyebrow and asked.
"This..." Xue Yan had nothing to say.
Xue Zining looked up at the three words "Poison King Valley". Outsiders are not allowed in?
The next day, Fan Qing got up and asked, "Has the Empress left?"
Qing Yu's voice came, "No."
Fan Qing scratched his head, "It's been two days, hasn't it?"
Qing Yu said, "Yes."
Fan Qing was angry, "Does this mean I, Fan Qing, have to defy the valley order?"
"Master, it's been two days, and the Empress hasn't had a drop to drink. If this continues..."
Fan Qing looked up at the dark clouds gradually drifting towards the sky. The Empress was making things difficult for him!
"Your Majesty, it has been two days."
Xue Yan looked at the Empress, who still had her back straight, and felt heartbroken.
"Two days?" Xue Zining looked up. The dark clouds drifting from the horizon covered the sunny sky above her head.
Moments later, a torrential rain began to fall.
Xue Yan took off her clothes and put them on Xue Zining.
The pouring rain continued to fall. Fan Qing saw the young girl still kneeling there, her back never bent.
"Master, that corpse must be someone very, very important to the Empress," Qing Yu said slowly.
"Mmm..." Fan Qing said.
"Master, are we just going to watch?" Qing Yu asked again.
"What else?" Fan Qing asked.
Qing Yu was startled, "Does Master have no other way?"
"It's a pity that the Empress doesn't have anyone from Poison King Valley with her, otherwise..." Fan Qing did not finish.
Qing Yu lowered his eyes.
"Master, I'll go prepare breakfast."
Qing Yu retreated. He went to a secluded place, wrote a note, and called for Qing Snake. Qing Snake shook its head at him and flicked its tongue. He sealed the note with a special substance and tied it to Qing Snake. He patted Qing Snake and said, "Go..."
After breakfast, Fan Qing habitually asked, "Where is the Empress?"
"She's gone back," Qing Yu said.
Fan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, a great Buddha has left."
In the evening, another man arrived outside Poison King Valley. Qing Yu looked at the man and tears immediately flowed down, "Brother, you finally appeared."
The man caressed Qing Yu's head, "How are you?"
Qing Yu thought, "I'm fine, brother, I just miss you."
"Silly brother, brother is back, isn't he?" The man smiled indulgently.
"Brother, come in quickly." Qing Yu grabbed the man's hand and was about to pull him in.
Suddenly, a voice came from the valley, "Traitors are not allowed to enter the valley."
"Brother, he's not a traitor," Qing Yu said urgently.
The man patted Qing Yu's hand and said, "Brother has a way."
"Master, your unfilial disciple Qing Yi has returned." The man bowed towards the valley and then knelt on the ground.
"Qing Yi, you still have the face to return?" Fan Qing looked at Qing Yi with a furious expression.
This was his most proud disciple, who had left Poison King Valley for his own selfish desires.
"Master, this disciple knows his mistake."
Fan Qing closed his eyes and said, "You have already been..."
"Master, this disciple is willing to accept punishment, even if it means becoming a test subject for medicine."
"Brother..." Qing Yu's eyes widened, unable to believe these words came from his mouth.
Fan Qing's eyes lit up slightly, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true," Qing Yi said.
Fan Qing stroked the sparse beard on his chin and said, "You are showing great kindness for no reason. Tell me, what else do you need to do?"
Qing Yi kowtowed, "Master, this disciple is now a subordinate of the Empress."
Fan Qing's very bright smile gradually froze, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Qing Yi, you are also deceiving me."
Qing Yi looked up and said, "Master, Qing Yi is not deceiving you. This disciple is truly a subordinate of the Empress now."
"Qing Yu, was it you who did this?" Fan Qing looked at Qing Yu with an ugly expression.
Qing Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Master, you did say that."
"Good... good..."
"Poison Master, are you going back on your word?"
Fan Qing trembled all over and looked towards the speaker.
