290 A Family

“I'm sorry, Miss. We were incompetent.” Xun Fen and Teng Nian lowered their heads in shame.

“It's not your fault. It's indeed very difficult to detect the cold Gu poison before it acts up.” Xu Qing looked at Liu Gexu, who was on the ground. His cold Gu poison was identical to Liu You's. However, Liu Gexu had been poisoned for too long. The cold Gu poison in his body had already become a part of his body. It was very difficult to detect and cure it!

Xu Qing asked Qiao Yanhui to arrange Liu Gexu's position and lay him down. Then, she took out silver needles and inserted them into a few major acupoints on Liu Gexu's body. After a moment, she pulled out the silver needles. The coldness on Liu Gexu's body gradually subsided, and he finally regained his vitality.

“Mom, you're so impressive!” Xue'er went up to her with a smile.

Xu Qing patted Xue'er's head and said, “Then do you want to be this impressive as well?”

“Yes! I do.” Xue'er nodded frantically.

“Then I'll definitely teach you everything.” Xu Qing knew that Xue'er was talented, so she believed that it wouldn't be long before Xue'er could take charge. “By the way, Little Hui, who do you think is chasing after him?” Xu Qing asked curiously, ignoring the fact that Liu Gexu was still lying on the ground.

“Heh, it can only be Green Mountain Nation's royal family, who wants to monopolize the power!” Qiao Yanhui mocked.

“Little Hui, do you know the situation in Green Mountain Nation?” Xu Qing suddenly became interested in this country.

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing as he sat down. The others followed obediently and were clearly very curious as well. As for Liu Gexu, who was still lying unconscious on the ground in a sorry state… no one cared about him.

“The Green Mountain Nation has a long history, even longer than the Ancient Kingdom's. Some things are impossible to investigate. As for the position of State Master, it was established at the beginning of the Green Mountain Nation. No one knows how the State Master appeared, but there must be a State Master beside every king of the Green Mountain Nation. There were also people from the royal family who wanted to eliminate them, but they were pulled down from the throne in the end… and died miserably. After the previous State Master passed away, there would be a new State Master to replace him. What they had in common was that they appeared out of thin air with the same blue eyes and couldn't live past thirty years old. It was rumored that they knew divination techniques and could predict everything in the world!” Qiao Yanhui was quite curious, so he had investigated a lot of information before coming here.

“So who appointed this State Master?” Xu Qing was also a little curious.

“Legend has it that he was appointed by a mysterious family who lives in the forbidden area of the Green Mountain Nation. Many people have tried to explore the cold abyss, but they never returned!” Qiao Yanhui had also sent someone to investigate, but the outcome was the same.

Xu Qing lowered her head and pondered. For people who went there to never return, the other party was very strong.

“The State Master of the Green Mountain Nation was carefully chosen by the Liu family. They were fed cold Gu poison since they were young and have been restrained by the family for their entire lives. They are the eyes of the family. They control the Green Mountain Nation and monitor the royal family so that the royal family will never betray them and ensure that their family will never go extinct!” A cold voice suddenly interrupted. Liu Gexu had already stood up at some point and was looking out the window with an indifferent expression.

Xu Qing looked at Liu Gexu. His back figure seemed so lonesome.

“Ying Zhiyao said that she would help me remove the cold Gu poison and leave the family. She said that she would bring me out of this icy land and let me live freely like a normal person…” When Liu Gexu said this, his voice carried a trace of resentment. That's right, resentment. She was the one who said that she would bring him away, but she had forgotten. She only had eyes for Yi Chulin and didn't care about his life or death. In the end, she disappeared and he never found her again…

“You should know that the cold Gu poison isn't that easy to detox…” Xu Qing didn't know what had happened between them, so she only stated a fact.

Liu Gexu clenched his fists tightly. Of course he knew. He had waited for Ying Zhiyao for ten years. He didn't have ten more years to wait for her… He didn't know if he would be able to see her again in his lifetime.

“I have the hundred-year-old dragon robe…” Liu Gexu suddenly said.

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows.

“Because of it, my cold Gu poison acted up in advance…” Liu Gexu paused. He didn't expect Leng Tongze to tamper with it, but it didn't matter. In any case, he didn't want to live anymore. He took out a white cloth bag and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stared at the indifferent Liu Gexu. Then, she took the thing and smelled it to confirm that it was genuine. In exchange, she should tell Liu Gexu about Ying Zhiyao. However, if Liu Gexu found out… In the end, Xu Qing still told him the truth. “Ying Zhiyao is dead.”

Liu Gexu froze and his expression changed slightly. “That's impossible. I divined that she's still alive!” However, this was the first time he failed to understand the result of divination. Ying Zhiyao wasn't dead, but her aura no longer existed in this world…
