Everywhere in Jianghu is Wonderful

“I’m not going!” Shen Qian Ling was embarrassed and covered himself under the blanket.

Madam is so cute, this tone of voice is pampering! He squirmed around by the corner of the blanket, and Dark guard felt his heart melting! Then he sincerely said, “But the people are really enthusiastic, many of them came out early in the morning and brought eggs and flower garlands.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Why do they have to bring all these strange things?

“If they don’t see you, everyone will be very disappointed.” The dark guard said, “Maybe they will even lose hope in life!”

No way! Shen Qian Ling continued to play dead.

“Go out and see?” Qin Shao Yu scooped the person out of the covers and took his lips and licked them.

“I’m not a monkey, what do you mean they have a group to look at?” Shen Qian Ling was furious, as a hard-working and brave working man, he dared to be a little more advanced!

Qin Shao Yu laughed out loud, “People will only come if they like you.”

“I don’t want to go.” Shen Qian Ling muttered.

“If you don’t go, there’s no guarantee that new rumours will emerge.” Qin Shao Yu sucked on his neck, “Like saying that because we indulge in too much lust, Ling-er can’t even get out of bed and can only cuddle under the blanket every day and ask for a kiss…”

“Shut your mouth!” Shen Qian Ling blushed and snarled, interrupting him, what the hell is this? Even a storyteller can’t make it up like you!

“So are you going or not?” Qin Shao Yu laughed out loud.

I’m so annoyed! Shen Qian Ling kicked him away and sat up to put on his clothes.

“Chirp!” The little phoenix was crouched on the windowsill with a string of broken gems around its neck.

“Where did you get that again? “Shen Qian Ling was speechless.

The fur ball was so proud that it opened its wings and made a gesture of flying!

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Why do you look so stupid?

“I’ll take you for a walk around the city when I have some free time.” After washing up, Qin Shao Yu took a hairband and combed his hair for him.

“Is big brother back?” Shen Qian Ling asked casually.

The dark guards immediately said outside the door, “Not yet, but just now the young master sent a message saying that there were still some things to be done in Qianwu Water Cottage and that he would probably be back in time for dinner.”

“Are you worried about him and Ye Jin?” Qin Shao Yu asked.

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded, “But like you said, people have their destiny, I can’t worry about it.”

“Don’t worry, Ye Jin is not a person who is unreasonable.” Qin Shao Yu said, “That child was before Qian Feng met him. In life, there are always mistakes to be made.”

“Say it as if you know a lot.” Shen Xiao Shou narrowed his eyes at him, “Don’t run away with a son one day too!”

“Madam is really thin-skinned.” Qin Shao Yu was suddenly saddened, “You insisted on taking away my virginity that day, and now you are talking like this.”

Shen Qian Ling almost spurted out a mouthful of blood at that, who was the one who wanted who?

The secret guards covered their faces outside the door, My palace master’s conversation with the lady is really very hot!

I can’t think carefully.

“Do you want to take your son out with you?” Qin Shao Yu asked before leaving the door.

Shen Xiao Shou looked at the window sill.

“Chirp!” The fur ball just fell with its head – it couldn’t hold on to the gem around its neck because it was a bit heavy!

“No! It’s too stupid, if you want to bring it, you bring it!” Shen Qian Ling decisively refused.

“I won’t bring it either.” They walked out calmly, especially the husband and wife!

The fur ball chirped and stumbled after him as he spread his wings!

At the same time, the open space outside the Zhou Mansion had long since turned into a sea of joy – as they were unable to wait for Shen Gongzi, the people made full use of the wisdom of the working people and formed themselves into small groups according to their interests to entertain themselves. The rest of the people sang and danced to the suona, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces! It was like a scene from the news broadcast!

Shen Qian Ling was stunned when he saw this scene outside! This ancient version of square dancing is really spectacular!

“Shen Gongzi has come out!” Someone screamed out in surprise.

The room was immediately abuzz – in fact, it was already abuzz! But after seeing the newly reborn Shen Gongzi, it was obvious that everyone was even more excited!

“Thank you all for your concern for Ling-er.” Qin Shao Yu put his arm around Shen Qian Ling’s shoulders, “I appreciate your kindness, but Ling-er is not feeling well yet, so we should all disperse early.”

When they heard that Shen Qian Ling was not feeling well, several women in the front row cried, just like tears rolling down their faces!

Shen Qian Ling: ……

What’s going on here?

“It’s hard to believe that Shen Gongzi is willing to suffer so much for the sake of the people!” The elder woman choked to the point of being unable to speak!

“…… is actually not bad.” Shen Qian Ling was embarrassed, I really didn’t do anything!

“I can’t believe his voice is even mute.” The woman was even more mournful, “It must be because he was burned by the fire for too long.”

Shen Qian Ling showed a puzzled expression, his voice was mute because he had been mumbling for too long last night but that was not the point, what was the point of the fire?

“This is a token of appreciation for you, Shen Gongzi, to nourish your body.” An old man in the shape of a village chief waved his hand, and immediately seven or eight strong men picked up a flattened stretcher and put it on the ground, and in addition to the eggs and garlands that Dark Guard had mentioned, there was also chicken, mushrooms, garlic, dried meat and chillies, and even a tiger skin!

“There’s really no need.” Shen Qian Ling was taken aback, “The one who defeated the Demon Cult was the Taoist, it really has nothing to do with me, so everyone should take it back.”

So everybody cried again, choking up as they lamented that Shen Gongzi was so indifferent to fame and fortune, so worthy of being a heavenly immortal, one could not wait to hold him in the palm of one’s hand for protection!

Shen Qian Ling: ……

“Jo-!” The fur ball jumped out and plopped down on Shen Xiao Shou’s feet for a hug.

Although Shen Qian Ling wanted to pretend not to recognise it, he saw the little phoenix’s eyes full of expectation and couldn’t bear to let it down.

So he bent down and picked it up.

The crowd immediately let out another breath of cold air.

What’s wrong again? Shen Qian Ling was about to burst into tears.

Can you all stop being so emotional?

I’m just holding a bird!

“Could this be Shen Gongzi’s real body?” Someone in the front row speculated.

The moment this was said, everyone immediately made a face of realisation and expressed their approval like crazy, that’s right! This little phoenix looks just like Shen Gongzi, very brave, smart, determined, clever and strong!

Shen Qian Ling’s head was buzzing.

“Chirp!” The fur ball fluttered its wings because it saw a pile of mountain treasures in front of it, so it wanted to eat them!

“Hold your heads, everyone!” The people in the front row shrieked, “Shen Gongzi is going to merge with the phoenix!”

What the hell! Shen Xiao Shou finally couldn’t stand it anymore, so he turned around and walked inside!

Qin Shao Yu’s facial muscles trembled a few times, obviously holding back his laughter very hard. After gesturing for the people to disperse, he turned around and wanted to go in with Shen Qian Ling, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at a man in black in the corner, whose figure seemed familiar.

Before he could figure out who it was, the man in black already screamed and attacked Shen Qian Ling with two hands in the shape of claws – the hands were so white and bony that not a single piece of flesh was visible.

“Ahh ！！！！” The people screamed at the sight of this, and the scene instantly became a mess!

It was too late to think too much, Qin Shao Yu’s body was as fast as lightning, and he rushed over and slapped Shen Qian Ling away.

The white claw was embedded deep in his chest, seemingly tearing the flesh. Blood spilt from the corner of his mouth as his right hand concentrated all his internal energy and struck. The man in black cried out and the human skin mask under his cloak fell to the ground, revealing a white face, his pupils dispersed and lifeless, with only his features strangely distorted.

Qin Shao Yu kicked him to the ground, covering his chest and dropping to one knee.

It all happened so quickly that it seemed to happen in a flash. Shen Qian Ling got up and stumbled to hold him, his mind blank. The guards who came to hear the news tied up the man in black and helped Qin Shao Yu into the inner room.

The little phoenix flung itself like a madman onto the face of the motionless man in black and scratched him with its claws.

The people were in shock and gathered at the door to look in on tiptoe.

Don’t let anything happen ……

“What’s wrong?” Ye Jin had seen the dark guards rushing out with pale faces, so he had been waiting anxiously in the courtyard, but when he saw Qin Shao Yu covered in blood and helped back, he was instantly shocked.

“It was Feng Jiuyi who did this.” The dark guards helped Qin Shao Yu to the bed, “The palace master has been hit by the Soul Destroying Palm.”

Seeing that the man was already unconscious, Ye Jin no longer had the heart to ask why Feng Jiuyi had come back from the dead, and ordered someone to boil water while opening the medicine chest, “Everyone else out!”

“I want to stay here.” Shen Qian Ling’s voice was hoarse.

“Get out!” Ye Jin didn’t even look at him and used scissors to cut open Qin Shao Yu’s clothes.

“Go out, don’t disturb Lord Ye Gu.” The dark guards held Shen Qian Ling’s shoulders and walked out, “The palace master will be fine.”

Shen Qian Ling’s face was pale and his tears were falling.

The fur ball ran back, covered in blood.

The dark guards were shocked, but they picked him up and checked him to make sure he was okay before breathing a sigh of relief.

Little Phoenix squatted on the ground and stared at the closed door with him.

Yin Wushuang had already planned to leave for the Northeast, but upon hearing the news, he stayed behind for the time being. He stood beside Shen Qian Ling and sighed deeply.

“What happened to Shao Yu?” As soon as Shen Qian Feng returned, he heard about what had just happened and hurried over.

“Master Ye is treating him, it’s been almost an hour.” The dark guard said, “Feng Jiuyi was among the people, so he was careless and let him get away with it.”

“Feng Jiuyi?” Shen Qian Feng was shocked at his words. The man who had been sent to pull the corpse was late last night, so he thought he had been delayed.

“Yes, but after the examination, our men found that he was compelled to die.” The guards reported in a low voice, “His heart was ripped out.”

“Where is the corpse?” Shen Qian Feng asked.

“In the backyard.” The guards said, “They are worried that he will come back from the dead, so they have tied him up with raw iron chains.”

Shen Qian Feng nodded and walked over to Shen Qian Ling.

“Big brother.” Shen Qian Ling stood up, his eyes were red.

“It’s okay.” Shen Qian Feng patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry.”

“He did it to protect me.” Shen Qian Ling’s voice was so muffled that he could barely speak.

“Shao Yu will be fine.” Shen Qian Feng hugged him and patted him, “Don’t cry.”

Shen Qian Ling closed his eyes, his heart felt like it was being cut open by a knife.

The sun was gradually turning west when the door finally creaked open.

“What’s wrong?” Everyone went around.

Furball crouched on Shen Qian Ling’s shoulder, his eyes also very nervous.

“He’s not awake yet.” Ye Jin’s voice was very low.

“Is there any danger?” Shen Qian Feng asked. 

“I’ll try.” Ye Jin closed the door and looked at Shen Qian Ling, “I’m using herbs to steam him, you can’t go in for now.”

Shen Qian Ling’s body shifted slightly, and his palm was as cold as it had ever been.

Shen Qian Feng lifted his palm and struck him on the back of his neck, knocking him out.

“Chirp!” The fur ball was startled, and his eyes were slightly confused.

“If he doesn’t eat or drink all day, we can’t let him go on.” Shen Qian Feng picked him up horizontally and put him on the next bed.

Ye Jin frowned, “This is really a simple and brutal method.”

“With him around, you won’t tell the truth either.” Shen Qian Feng closed the door, “How is Shao Yu doing?”

“Not good.” Ye Jin shook his head, “The Soul Destroying Palm is already extremely evil, not to mention the fact that Feng Jiuyi should have swallowed a lot of poison to practice it as soon as possible. If this claw was embedded in the chest, if it were an ordinary person, he would have died a dozen times.”

“Then how do we save him?” Yin Wushuang frowned.

“I can only try to renew his life.” Ye Jin looked at Shen Qian Feng, “Can you think of a way to go to the South China Sea and ask a ghostly-handed doctor to come? He might have a cure.”

“It will take at least half a month to get from here to the South Sea fishing village pier, even if we go fast and work day and night. Not to mention the size of the sea, where can we find the Ghost Hand?” Shen Qian Feng frowned, “Even if the round trip is smooth, it will take at least two months, are you sure Shao Yu can hold out?”

Ye Jin shook his head, “I’m not sure.”

Everyone at the scene was silent as soon as the words were spoken.

“What’s the worst time to have a seizure?” Zhen Ren asked.

Ye Jin looked at the crowd, “Three days.”

The dark guard’s heart was empty, “Master Ye…”

“I want to save him too.” Ye Jin interrupted, “But there are things I can’t do just because I want to.”

“We can find all kinds of medicine!” The dark guard was anxious.

“The problem is not that I can’t find the medicine.” Ye Jin said, “Rather, I simply don’t know what kind of medicine to use.” Feng Jiuyi had already come into contact with many poisonous insects during his practice, and the white bones had been quenched with poison, so before they could find out what kind of poison it was, there was no medicine to cure it.

The dark guards froze at the words and fell into silence.

“I’ll go in and have a look.” Zhen Ren pushed the door into the room, ” Yezi comes in, the rest of you stay outside.”

Inside the room, Qin Shao Yu was lying on his back on the bed without a trace of blood on his face, and there was a pile of blood-stained bandages in the corner, which made his heart tingle.

Zhen Ren tested his nostrils and his eyebrows knitted together.

“He didn’t even breathe for a while.” Ye Jin stood by the bed and sighed.

“I’ll take him to Phoenix Mountain.” Zhen Ren said.

“Senpai has a way to save him?” Ye Jin’s eyes showed surprise.

“There is a hundred-year-old cold jade cave on the mountain.” The true man said, “At least it will keep him alive for a short time.”

“It’s good.” Although it was impossible to cure the poison, it was better than nothing. Ye Jin tried, “May I go with you?”

“Of course.” Zhen Ren nodded, “I will take you and Ling-er with me.”

“But the Cold Jade Cave is not a long-term solution.” Ye Jin reminded, “If we want to cure the poison, we need to find Ghost Hand.”

“I will find a way.” Zhen Ren sighed, “But the South China Sea is so vast that I can only ask God for help.”

“Can you tell Shao Yu’s fortune?” Ye Jin asked.

He shook his head, “His destiny is already entwined with Ling-er, and Ling-er’s destiny does not belong here.”

“Not here?” Ye Jin did not understand.

“Don’t think about it.” Zhen Ren handed him a bottle, “After a long day, drink it to feel better.”

Ye Jin took it and smelt it, “Phoenix blood?”

“It’s easy, I won’t give it to anyone.” Zhen Ren stood up and walked out.

“Thank you, senpai.” Ye Jin filled the bottle and followed him out the door, just in time to see Hua Tang leaving with his dark guards.

“What are you doing?” Zhen Ren asked.

“Go and find out who dragged Feng Jiuyi’s corpse away and compelled him to manipulate it.” Shen Qian Feng glanced inside the house, “What is Shao Yu’s condition?”

“I’m taking him to Phoenix Mountain to heal.” Zhen Ren said, “You and Xiao Yezi and Ling-er should also join us.”

“Good.” Shen Qian Feng did not ask more questions.

“We’ll go too.” Zhao Wu stepped forward.

Zhen Ren shook his head, “I want you to go to the South Sea.”

“But I don’t know where the old palace master is.” Zhao Wu frowned slightly.

“There will be a phoenix to take you to the South Sea.” Zhen Ren said, “But you will have to find someone on your own.”

Zhao Wu nodded his head, “I will leave immediately!”

“As for you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave for a while.” Zhen Ren looked at Yin Wushuang.

“What can I do to help?” Yin Wushuang asked.

“Although Feng Jiuyi is dead, today’s incident is bound to spread again.” He said, “Besides, the person who put the compulsion down has not yet been found, so you must stay behind with Xiao Zhan to preside over the situation.”

Yin Wushuang agreed, “Yes.”

“Go and burn Feng Jiuyi’s corpse.” Zhen Ren instructed the dark guards, “So that nothing else goes wrong.”

The dark guards left with orders, and a huge fire burned the corpse to a crisp.

That night, Zhao Wu set off for the South China Sea in search of the divine doctor with ghostly hands. Early the next morning, Zhen Ren also took Qin Shao Yu and the others back to Phoenix Mountain.

The cold jade cave was surrounded by no grass, and even before they approached, they could already feel the cool air.

“You stay here.” Ye Jin pulled Shen Qian Ling, “Otherwise it will trigger the cold poison in your body.”

Shen Qian Ling nodded his head and gently let go of Qin Shao Yu’s hand.

“I’ll stay with you.” Ye Jin pulled him to one side and watched as Shen Qian Feng carried Qin Shao Yu and entered the Cold Jade Cave with Zhen Ren.

“Don’t worry, Shao Yu has always had a good life.” Seeing that his face was still pale, Ye Jin said comfortingly, “It will be fine.”

“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling nodded his head, “Thank you.”

“Thank me for what, Shao Yu is also my good friend.” Ye Jin smiled, “Don’t worry anymore, if he wakes up and sees you like this, he will definitely blame us for not taking care of you again.”

“I’m fine.” Shen Qian Ling felt a little guilty, “You should take care of yourself.” He was already weak, but he was surrounded by people one after another, so even resting became a luxury.

“It’s best if you’re okay.” Ye Jin breathed a sigh of relief, “I was really afraid that you would not be able to think about it.”

“No.” Shen Qian Ling shook his head, “He’ll be fine, I’ll wait for him to wake up.”

“Yes.” Ye Jin nodded and sat side by side with him in the sun.

A few days later, the news of Qin Shao Yu’s injury spread and people in the Jianghu were suddenly on edge.

After a month, the storm gradually subsides and the sect leaders leave for their own destinations, leaving only Xiao Zhan and Yin Wushuang at the bottom of the mountain to investigate.

On Phoenix Mountain, Qin Shao Yu’s condition remained the same, with no sign of waking up.

Every day, Shen Qian Ling sat with the little phoenix not far from the Cold Jade Cave, quietly keeping him company.

On this day, Ye Jin got up early, intending to go to the mountains to collect some flower dew before the sun came up to make medicine.

There was a large field of flowers at the back of the mountain. Ye Jin took a deep breath and found a porcelain vase in his backpack, but before he could enter the field of flowers, a clear hissing sound suddenly came to his ears.

Ye Jin squinted his eyes to identify it carefully and was startled when he saw it clearly, so he waved his hand to tell it to put it down.

The phoenix flew closer to the ground and dropped the object in its hand in front of him.

It was a child of age less than ten years old.

The child’s face was pale and he was clearly scared.

The phoenix kicked his paws and turned around and flew away.

“…… How did you get caught by it on the mountain?” Ye Jin was amazed.

The child stood up from the ground, all dirty, but the bottom of his eyes was clear.

Little beggar? Ye Jin took out his breakfast from his backpack, “Eat.”

The child took the vegetable cake and took a big bite, obviously hungry for days.

“Slow down a bit.” Ye Jin handed him a bottle of water and asked curiously, “Did you flee the famine and come here?”

The boy did not say anything.

Ye Jin just took him as a tacit acknowledgement, so he added, “I will find someone to take you down the mountain later to see if a good family is willing to take you in.”

The boy looked at him, “Who are you?”

“My name is Ye.” Ye Jin took the blades of grass off his head, “Come back with me first after you eat, you’re dirty.”

“Ye? Then do you know Lord Qin?” The child’s words were surprising.

Ye Jin was a little surprised, “You know him?”

“I’ve heard of him before.” The child stood up, “You can take me to him.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.” Ye Jin shook his head, “He’s poisoned.”

“I know.” The child said, “I also know that you are a doctor.”

“Yes.” Ye Jin nodded his head, taking it as a rumour he had heard from down the mountain, and didn’t see anything unusual about it.

“Is your surname really Ye?” The boy asked again, “Are you a good friend of Palace Master Qin?”

Ye Jin was amused by him and took out the jade pendant from his waist, “This is my surname, do you believe me now?”

The child shook his head, “I can’t read.”

“Then there’s nothing you can do.” Ye Jin picked up the medicine bag, “Let’s go, the sun will come out later and it will be hot.”

The child wanted to say something else, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, grabbing the hem of his shirt and following behind him like a little tail.

“Whose child is it?” Shen Qian Feng was boiling medicine for Ye Jin in the courtyard and was startled to see him.

“I picked him up.” Ye Jin said, “I was picking herbs in the back of the mountain, and he was caught by the Phoenix.”

“Why did the phoenix catch you?” Shen Qian Feng asked the child with a frown.

“…… was hungry and wanted to climb the mountain to find some wild fruits to eat.” The child looked at him, “The result was that before I could climb the tree, I was caught by a big bird.”

“You go and make some porridge for him.” Ye Jin said, “I’ll take him for a bath and see if he’s been scratched again.”

Shen Qian Feng nodded, got up and left the small courtyard.

“Who is he?” The child asked in a small voice.

“You wouldn’t know him even if I told you.” Ye Jin flicked his head, “Take a bath first.”

There was a hot spring at the back of the house. Ye Jin ladled the hot water into the tub, stripped the child’s clothes off and carried him in, but he froze for a moment – he saw that the scrawny little body was covered with scars of varying depths, which had been done intentionally by others.

“Hot.” The boy was lying on his tiptoes by the bucket.

Ye Jin rubbed his head and added some cold water to it.

“The congee is here.” Shen Qian Feng came in with a tray, “Come and eat some too so that you can drink the medicine.”

Ye Jin casually found his own clothes and helped the child to put them on, looking a bit funny.

“Where are Senpai and Ling-er?” Ye Jin asked.

“They are eating in the dining room.” Shen Qian Feng handed over the chopsticks.

The child’s eyes were dark and shiny, “Who are you?”

“What do you care who I am.” Shen Qian Feng tapped his head.

The boy bristled, “Stingy.”

Shen Qian Feng smiled and shook his head, eating his buns.

“What’s your name?” Ye Jin asked the child.

“I don’t have a name.” The child shook his head, “I don’t have a mother.”

“What about your father?” Ye Jin served him a bowl of porridge.

“My father?” The child frowned and thought, “I heard that he was a vile, shameless, lustful, dirty, lecherous devil.”

“Ahem.” Shen Qian Feng was choked by the water, “Is your father really that bad?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never met him either, I heard it from others.” The boy took a bite of his bun, “But what that person said may not be true.”

How could he speak so maturely at such a young age? Shen Qian Feng knocked on his little head, “Do you want to learn martial arts or study?”

There was some confusion in the child’s eyes.

“If you want to learn martial arts, I’ll send you to the Qianwu Water Village.” Shen Qian Feng said, “Although you have already passed the best age to learn martial arts, you will be able to make a living with some martial arts training; if you want to study, then I will send you to Zhou Xianwai, so that when you grow up you can help him with his accounting and teaching.”

The boy bowed his head and did not say anything.

“You don’t want to keep asking for food, do you?” Shen Qian Feng frowned.

The child shook his head and looked at him, wanting to say something.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Qian Feng asked.

The child glanced at him and turned decisively in Ye Jin’s direction, “I want to see Palace Master Qin.”

……

Ye Jin laughed, “Why don’t you tell him, do you think I’m easy to talk to?”

The child admitted in silence.

Shen Qian Feng was surprised, “Do you still know Shao Yu?”

“I must see Master Qin.” The child was very insistent.

“He is unconscious now.” Shen Qian Feng reminded him. “And those folk rumours are not credible, he can neither rain nor fire nor shoot the sun. You’d better finish your meal early and come down with me.”

“Just take me to see Palace Master Qin, just one look!” The child looked very anxious.

Ye Jin was puzzled, “Why do you have to see him?”

The child said, “Because I don’t know you.”

“Do you know Shao Yu?” Shen Qian Feng asked.

The child shook his head, “I don’t know him either.”

Shen Qian Feng: ……

A little nerd after all?

“But I’ve seen his portrait.” The boy said, “If I met him, I’d recognise him!”

“The kind sold at the stalls?” Shen Qian Feng tsked, “The one for a penny is a face, the one for a tael of silver is another face, and the one for a tael of gold is spraying water and fire, so I’d be damned if I could recognise him by his portrait.”

The child muttered, “Then I still want to see it.”

“It’s not that I won’t show it to you.” Ye Jin said patiently, “Shao Yu is really in a coma.”

The child’s face was torn.

“Huh, who’s a kid.” Shen Qian Ling happened to come in with little Phoenix in his arms.

“Ah, I recognise you!” The child’s eyes lit up.

Shen Qian Ling looked at Ye Jin with some bewilderment, “Your disciple?”

“No, I picked him up at the bottom of the mountain, Qian Feng will send him down later.” Ye Jin explained.

“Chirp!” It was rare to see a child on the mountain, so he twisted and turned and pushed his way over.

“You’re Shen Gongzi!” The child’s cheeks were flushed.

Shen Qian Ling nodded his head, “You recognize me?”

“I’ve seen the portraits sold on the street!” The boy looked at Shen Qian Feng with pride – recognized him by his portrait! Shen Qian Feng raised his hand in surrender – you’re good!

Shen Qian Ling smiled and went into the house to get something.

“I know what poison Palace Master Qin has been poisoned with!” The child said loudly.

The three people in the room froze for a moment as the words came out.

“What did you say?” Ye Jin was shocked.

Shen Qian Ling squatted down and held his shoulders, his voice full of disbelief, “You have the antidote?”

“I don’t have the antidote.” The child stammered, “I have poison.”

Shen Qian Feng carried him and placed him on the stone table, “Who are you anyway?”

“I don’t know.” The child was shocked by his appearance, “Palace Master Qin is a good man, I wanted to save him.”

“What about the poison?” Ye Jin asked.

The child jumped off the table and ran to his clothes, fetching a small bottle from inside.

Ye Jin twisted it open and put it up to his nose and smelled it.

Shen Qian Feng covered the mouth of the bottle and reprimanded, “Even poison is so close!”

“Don’t make a mess!” Ye Jin slapped him away in a hurry, found a clean glass of water and poured a few drops into it.

Shen Qian Ling stood next to him, clenching his fist, almost forgetting to breathe.

The child also looked at Ye Jin nervously.

“It seems to be true.” Ye Jin was delighted, “I’ll have to examine it carefully again.

Shen Qian Ling’s heart, which was hanging in his throat, finally fell hard, and his knees went weak as he sat on the stone bench.

“How did you get the poison?” Shen Qian Feng frowned at the child, “And why do you want to see Shao Yu all the time?”

“How do I know you are not bad people if I don’t see him with my own eyes?” The child muttered, “But it’s the same when I see Shen Gongzi, I know he’s a good man.”

“What about the poison? Where did you get it?” Shen Qian Feng asked sternly.

The child was a bit scared and ran and hid behind Ye Jin.

“Why are you so mean?” Ye Jin glared at Shen Qian Feng, “If he was a bad person, he wouldn’t have sent the medicine today!”

Shen Qian Feng was helpless, “Is it wrong to ask for clarification?”

“It’s fine to ask, but you’d better not ask.” Ye Jin took the child and walked outside, “Let’s go find Grandpa White Beard!”

“Is Shao Yu alright?” Shen Qian Ling asked Shen Qian Feng, wanting to confirm once again.

“Don’t worry.” Shen Qian Feng said, “Looking at Xiao Jin’s expression just now, there is a good chance that I am not wrong.”

Shen Qian Ling’s eyes were red and he was hugging Shen Qian Feng to death.

Shen Qian Feng patted his back. After so many days, there was finally a glimmer of hope.

In the small bamboo building, Zhen Ren was closing his eyes and taking a rest when he heard someone running over.

“Senpai.” Ye Jin entered the courtyard with the child.

“Whose child is it?” Zhen Ren came down the stairs and stared.

Ye Jin told him what had happened, and then said, “I’m going to study poison, this child-“

“Leave it to me.” Zhen Ren laughed, “I told you Shao Yu was lucky.”

Ye Jin nodded and knelt to look at the child, “Thank you for today.”

The child smiled a little coyly.

“Stay with Grandpa, for now, I’ll go and fill the medicine.” Ye Jin shook the bottle in his hand, “Be good.”

The child nodded and watched him leave the courtyard, then looked up at Zhen Ren with some curiosity.

“What’s your name?” He asked.

“I don’t have a name.” The child shook his head.

Zhen Ren took the jade whistle out of his pocket and blew it at his mouth.

There was some confusion in the child’s eyes.

A few moments later, some phoenixes flew from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

The child’s eyes were a little scared, but he didn’t move.

“Scared?” Zhen Ren asked.

The child nodded and shook his head, “They were the ones who brought me up here.”

“Did they scratch you?” Zhen Ren asked.

The child shook his head, “No.”

“If you don’t mess with them, the phoenixes won’t hurt people easily.” He took him and put him on the back of the phoenix.

The phoenix spread its wings and carried him into the air.

　　The boy’s eyes widened in surprise and he clung to the phoenix’s neck.
