Chapter 353 - 208: Ghost Lamp Wuchen?
The people present exchanged a glance.
The first thing that came to mind was the Ghost Emperor Modo!
But in the next moment, Shang Qiuyu, who had disappeared, also came to mind.
The Profound Emperor Shang Qiuyu, the Ghost Emperor Modo...
These two are the only ones among the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns who have shown any unusual movements in the Martial World.
Moreover, Chu Qing had once heard from Prince Mu and Beitang Zun about the news that ’the Ghost Emperor is dying’.
If the Poison of a Drop of Water is intended to deal with the Ghost Emperor Modo, it does make sense.
"What kind of person took away the Poison of a Drop of Water? Where is he taking it?"
Chu Qing asked accordingly.
But Tie Xiaoyang just shook his head:
"I don’t know about these things."
That’s true, he’s just a pawn, and his knowledge is ultimately limited.
Chu Qing glanced at Gentle, and Gentle understood his meaning.
She plugged one nostril and blew to retrieve something, then did the same with the other nostril.
She leaned in and sniffed slightly.
In the next moment, she furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head at Chu Qing.
She threw away what was in her hand and replaced them with two more plugs.
Seeing this, Chu Qing realized that the scent here was too mixed.
It was difficult for Gentle to discern the smell of the person who took away the Poison of a Drop of Water... Moreover, even if the air here were clean and pure, the swamp outside and the pervasive stench in various places would alter the scent.
Making it hard to identify the target.
This time, it seemed that Gentle the scout-helper had failed.
At this thought, he exhaled lightly and approached the stone platform at the base of the building.
There was a pipe hanging down here, and the Poison of a Drop of Water that had been prepared must have been extracted from this pipe.
This pipe was even made of Profound Jade Ice Crystal, and approaching it brought a sense of coldness.
On the other side, Tie Xiaoyang was still kowtowing to Tie Lingyun, begging for mercy.
Tie Xiaofeng couldn’t help but plead for his brother as well.
Beitang Zun and the others stood by without commenting... Gentle paid no attention to these matters, instead looking around the environment with curiosity.
Glancing here and there from time to time.
With no danger around, Chu Qing didn’t take notice and just told her not to touch anything that seemed off-colored, to avoid accidentally getting poisoned, and let her amuse herself freely.
Nianxin and Nian’an were only concerned about what to eat once they left here.
They felt very sorry for the tragic state of the large goose that Cao Qiupu had thrown out to test for poison earlier...
They wondered whether to cook it in a pot or roast it over a fire, or perhaps cook it with some sauerkraut?
Thinking that any way, it would taste incredibly delicious.
The goose meat is firm and chewy.
Now, in its pitiful state, having ended up with no remains, the person who raised them must be very sad.
They were almost drooling at the thought of the sadness...
Beitang Zun stood with his hands behind his back, and from his standpoint, he should have persuaded Tie Lingyun to kill Tie Xiaoyang.
But precisely because of his position, he couldn’t say those words.
This battle between the Blazing Hall and the Iron Blood Hall was already a fault of the Blazing Hall.
Now that the fight has stopped, Tie Lingyun has already reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Blazing Hall, considering Chu Qing.
If a rift occurs between the two families because of Tie Xiaoyang, it would really be quite unwise.
As for Cao Qiupu and Miss Ling Fei, having just joined the Iron Blood Hall, they didn’t have much say in handling the matter of the second young master.
Finally, Tie Lingyun took a deep breath and stood up.
With his deep Inner Power, most of the poison inside him had already been expelled by Cao Qiupu, and what remained could no longer affect him.
He looked at Tie Xiaoyang and said softly:
"Yang’er, indeed, I have favored your sister over you.
"After all, I have four children, and she is my only daughter.
"She is a girl, and in the future, she will get married, support her husband, and educate her children.
"As a father, I always think of treating her better, so in the future, she won’t be deceived by some unknown scoundrel that appeared out of nowhere.
"I’m even more worried that if she entrusts herself to the wrong person, she’ll be mistreated by her husband’s family.
"Having me as her father gives her the confidence that if she’s bullied, at least there’ll be someone to stand up for her."
"Father..."
Tie Xiaoyang looked up at Tie Lingyun.
Tie Lingyun’s voice wasn’t heavy; it could even be considered soft and gentle.
But the softer it was, the more fear Tie Xiaoyang felt in his heart.
Tie Lingyun gently patted his shoulder:
"But as for you three brothers, I believe I haven’t favored anyone over the others.
"You practice the same Martial Arts and study the same classics.
"Your eldest brother is the most gifted, has the best scheming, and is keenly perceptive, showing his talent at a young age.
"Thus, I hope for your elder brother to inherit the Iron Blood Hall, which shouldn’t be considered a mistake..."
"Father, please stop, it’s my foolishness... I was wrong!"
Tie Xiaoyang started kowtowing again.
Tie Lingyun, however, didn’t look at him, but said:
"Parents love their children and plan for them long-term.
"I have also made extensive plans for you in the Iron Blood Hall.
"Setting a guideline for your development within the hall so that in the future, the three of you can work together. Even after my passing, I won’t be too worried."
When he said this, his eyes were filled with a look of weariness.
And he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh:
"Son, if today’s matters involved only those from the Tie Family, it would just be a family affair, I could have raised my hand high and let it go lightly.
"Even if I had to abolish your Martial Arts... I could let you live the rest of your life as a wealthy man.
