314 The State Master's Pride

Yi Chuxiang touched her chin and said, “When are you leaving?” She wasn't stupid. No matter how she looked at it, Qiao Yanhui's encounter was fishy. New Heavenly Kingdom's royal family wouldn't be able to do such a thing unless someone colluded with them. The longer Xu Qing and the others were away from their country, the more dangerous it would be for them.

“When everyone's injuries are healed,” Xu Qing said.

Yi Chuxiang's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything in the end.

“You saw it too. There are many hidden dangers around us. Do you really want your son to follow us?” Xu Qing suddenly said.

Yi Chuxiang smiled bitterly. “Since I want him to mature, I'm unafraid of these things. Besides, I believe that he will learn how to protect himself in times of danger, like your children.”

These words surprised Xu Qing. It seemed that even if Qi Yi stayed, he wouldn't be very safe either.

“Of course. If you don't return me a powerful son in ten years, I'll fight you one-on-one! I know you don't know martial arts!” Yi Chuxiang pretended to be carefree as she said with a smile.

Xu Qing nodded. “Don't worry. I'll definitely make your son someone you can be proud of.”

Yi Chuxiang suppressed her sadness and left with Qi Shizhong…

When night fell, the three children finally woke up. It was obvious that they had recovered a lot. However, the three of them had gloomy expressions. Yuan'er couldn't forget the scene of his father lying in his mother's arms while on his last breath, nor could he forget his mother's despaired look.

He knew that his father's illness hadn't been cured. This was just his guess, because his parents didn't tell him, but he knew that his father didn't have long to live. Therefore, he wanted to work hard to become stronger so that even if his father suddenly passed away, he would have the ability to protect his mother and siblings. After he finally concealed his emotions, he covered his siblings with blankets and said, “Rest for a while. Don't let Mom and Dad worry.”

After Xue'er nodded, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Ting'er's eyes flickered. He felt that his brother and parents were hiding something from him. As for what it was, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he found out.

The next day, Xu Qing finally remembered Liu Gexu. At this moment, Liu Gexu was wrapped up tightly while lying in the room. He stayed with Xu Qing in order for Xu Qing to detoxify his poison, but in the end, before the poison was detoxed, he became covered in injuries. The most infuriating thing was that after Xu Qing bandaged him, she never came again. He was starving. Also! He needed to relieve himself…

When Xu Qing came over, she saw a “mummy” moving with difficulty. Just as Liu Gexu was about to reach the door, the room was opened from the outside and hit Liu Gexu.

After Liu Gexu fell to the ground, a warm liquid flowed out from between his legs.

“Uh…” Xu Qing looked at Liu Gexu awkwardly.

Liu Gexu recalled his entire life. He had been nurtured as an elite since he was young and had become the State Master at a young age. When had he ever been in such a sorry state? However, ever since he met Xu Qing, it seemed that he was in all sorts of woeful states every day.

Liu Gexu was anxious to relieve himself to begin with. It had been an entire day and night since he last went to the bathroom. Now that Xu Qing had suddenly opened the door and the door handle hit his stomach, he naturally couldn't hold it in anymore.

“I… I didn't see anything! I'll get someone to clean up for you…” Xu Qing turned around to leave. However, after taking a step, she turned back and smiled awkwardly as she closed the door for him considerately.

Liu Gexu lay on the ground with a look of despair. Even if he wasn't tortured to death by the cold Gu poison, he would probably be angered to death by Xu Qing. If he was frozen to death by the cold Gu, at least he could die with dignity.

After a while, Liu Gexu's dressing was changed, his body was cleansed, and he lay on the bed again. He had an aloof expression, as if everything just now was an illusion. However, when he saw Xu Qing, he lost his composure in a second, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Xu Qing looked worried. “Why are you shaking so much? Let me take a look at you.”

Liu Gexu was so angry that he couldn't speak. By the time he reacted, Xu Qing's hand was already on his pulse.

Xu Qing immediately exclaimed, “Your heart is beating so fast. Relax. If your breathing is too chaotic, it won't be good for your recuperation… Why is your heartbeat getting faster and faster? Could it be that you're thinking about what happened just now? I swear, I'll forget everything about what happened just now…”

Liu Gexu was already overcome with anger, so he turned his head away from her.

“Huh? You're back to normal. As expected of the State Master. Your composure is amazing,” Xu Qing praised.

Liu Gexu was speechless.

Xu Qing chuckled and asked, “I want to ask you, is there a way for Ying Zhiyao to come back earlier?”

“Get lost!” Liu Gexu finally spoke.
