Chapter 1671: Chapter 1670: Refreshing

“That’s merely Shen Chenghao’s one-sided claim; no one can prove that the Emperor Emeritus and the others were ever affected by the Hell Flower,” Bei Lingsu said.

“No, no, no! Shen Chenghao must have gotten some conclusive information; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare make a move,” Bei Yun argued, unable to resist looking up at Bei Lingsu, “Aunt Lingsu, aren’t you even a little curious about the story behind this?”

“This is a Royal secret—it’s not something we should know,” she replied.

“But this secret is intertwined with the Hell Flower! As healers, shouldn’t we try to understand the reason behind it? An incurable poison like the Hell Flower was actually neutralized—doesn’t that intrigue you?”

“No, it doesn’t,” Bei Lingsu responded resolutely.

Bei Yun stared at her for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Aunt Lingsu, do you actually know something?”

“Know what?” Bei Lingsu tilted her head, a face full of feigned confusion as she asked.

“You know how the Hell Flower was neutralized,” he pressed.

“I don’t know,” Bei Lingsu answered briskly.

Bei Yun burst into laughter instantly. “Aunt Lingsu, not knowing yet not being curious about a supreme poison like the Hell Flower? Your attitude is a little odd.”

“And you don’t seem all that concerned with Tong Sanlang’s condition either.”

“What’s there to fret about? He’s Xiaomai’s husband. Why should I be nervous?” Bei Lingsu couldn’t help but glare at him as she spoke.

“But you and Qiao Xiaomai are friends,” Bei Yun remarked with a soft sigh. A trace of worry appeared on his face. “Such an extraordinary matter being right in front of us without any resolution—I feel like it’s going to drive me mad with curiosity.”

Hearing this, Bei Lingsu smirked and pouted. “Go ahead and stay curious. I have other things to do.”

With those words, she hurriedly strode toward the main courtyard.

Bei Yun watched her leave, smiling to himself as he lowered his head to continue drawing.

This was clearly guilty behavior.

Bei Lingsu certainly knew something.

Ah, how wonderful it is to be alive! Every day is filled with lively events and all sorts of bizarre happenings to watch or even experience for oneself.

He needed to find a way to keep on living.

Meanwhile, Tong Sanlang, after consuming the Divine Liquid, had fully recovered. His chest no longer ached, and his internal energy flowed properly. Previously, every attempt to circulate his energy had caused a stabbing pain in his Elixir Field. Now, that suffering had finally disappeared.

Though his body had returned to normal, he still had to maintain appearances. He drank his medicine three times a day and practiced martial arts as usual.

Soon, it was New Year’s Eve. Another year had come. That very day, Yang Wenxiao returned to the Capital City, and Qiao Xiaomai joined him. She was going back to prepare the New Year’s Eve feast.

Tong Tiehu went to Jiwei Residence. He hadn’t seen Yu Ang for an entire year, and there was much to catch up on.

Previously, Bei Yun had smashed Yu Ang’s Nine Phoenixes Soaring Sky painting and even falsely accused Yu Zizhou of colluding with the Tianlong Gang. It was despicable to the extreme. However, the Emperor Emeritus had compensated Yu Ang with a Dan Shu Tie Quan, a far more valuable gift than the Nine Phoenixes Soaring Sky. As long as the Yu Family did not rebel, they could enjoy prosperity alongside Daqi forever.

Tong Tiehu, having lived for over half his life, had never seen a Dan Shu Tie Quan before. His curiosity was piqued, and he specifically requested Yu Ang to bring it to Jiwei Residence so he could take a look.

Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, and Zhuang Lühe also entered the Capital City. Qiao Dami missed his mother dearly since they hadn’t seen each other for some time. Qiao Changshun, too, wanted to mend his relationship with Zhuang Lühe, so he took the bundle of silver notes Qiao Xiaomai had given him and went shopping in town.

This left only Tong Sanlang at Field Manor. He remained in his room, practicing every technique he’d learned in the past one by one. With newfound internal strength to support him, these moves flowed as smoothly as running water.

After an entire year of suppression, he was finally unburdened!
