Gong Wentang stared at Chu Qingzhi in a daze for a long time before saying, “Why don’t you think about it to see if there is anything you lack?”

Actually, it was not a big deal to give one away if the other party wanted to use it to save lives.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “Why do you want the snow lotus?”

Gong Wentang sat at the side and sighed. “I want to use it to save a good brother of mine. A few years ago, he accidentally ate an unknown fruit. After that, his body became weaker and weaker. 1 heard that the snow lotus has the effect of nourishing the body. I plan to give it a try.”

What a coincidence!

Chu Qingzhi did not believe him completely. She probed, “What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said that there should be some kind of poison in that fruit that has infiltrated into his body. He has taken countless medicines but is not getting any better. He has already become as thin as a bamboo pole. If this continues, he won’t be able to live long.” Gong Wentang lowered his head and became sad.

Seeing Gong Wentang’s dejected expression, Chu Qingzhi relented. “Alright, alright. Don’t be sad. I’ll give you one.”

Gong Wentang looked up in surprise. “Really?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Really.”

Gong Wentang grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand and thanked her excitedly. “Brother, you’re really a good person.”

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly pulled her hand out, but Gong Wentang held on tightly. She actually couldn’t break free.

Seeing this, Tang Jinghong’s face darkened and he shouted, “Let go!”

Gong Wentang quickly let go. The scene of the two of them hugging each other surfaced in his mind. His face turned awkward as he hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was too excited just now. 1 didn’t do it on purpose.”

Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand over and washed her hands.

When Gong Wentang saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Was that necessary? He wasn’t dirty!

After washing Chu Qingzhi’s hands, Tang Jinghong brought the bowl and chopsticks back to Chu Qingzhi. “Xiao Qing, continue eating.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Tang Jinghong and smiled. She obediently continued eating.

Gong Wentang was speechless.

Heavens, not only did he meet a gay couple today, but it was a gay couple that was more loving than ordinary couples.

At the foot of the mountain.

After those people were kicked down the mountain by Chu Qingzhi, they did not die. After all, they had martial arts, but they were absolutely furious.

The young man said angrily, “We can’t let this matter rest easily!”

The middle-aged man, who was afraid of heights, said, “That’s right. They actually kicked us down from such a high place. It’s a blatant murder.”

The old man rolled his eyes and looked very malicious. He said, “Don’t they look like the brothers wanted by the Lord of the Northern Border?”

The middle-aged man immediately echoed, “1 think I’m certain they are.”

“Yes, they are. They killed, burned, and plundered. Now that we’ve met them, we have to bring them to justice no matter what!”

“That’s right. We can’t let them off. They’re too much.”

“Let’s go to the Lord of the Northern Border and tell him their whereabouts.”

“Count me in.”

“I’ll go too.”

The dozen or so people quickly reached a consensus. Then, they used their qinggong and quickly flew towards the northern border city.

As for the Lord of the Northern Border…

The two people who were killed were dealt with by Tang Jinghong’s secret guards. Moreover, with Wang Xingming’s help, the two secret guards changed their faces to that of the two dead people and became spies in the forging village for Tang Jinghong. Zhang Dinghong did not notice anything unusual about the two of them. However, when the mountain collapsed, he was alerted and immediately rushed back to report to the Lord of the Northern Border.

Something big happened in the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border last night. The fire burned for a few hours and the flames soared into the sky. One-fifth of the mansion was burned down…

Yang Jingwen was angry that Li Yuan’an had humiliated Li Yuanshao, so she took the risk of losing her freedom to find a few close friends and planned to sneak into the mansion to kill Li Yuan’an.

The mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border was heavily guarded. Not only were there secret guards, but there were also many soldiers. It could be said that not even a mosquito could fly in.

The easiest way to break through this defense was to create a diversion.

Therefore, Yang Jingwen asked one of her friends to start a fire. Coupled with the wind last night, once a fire started, it began to ravage through the mansion like a ferocious beast that had regained its freedom…

When the people in the mansion saw that there was a fire, they naturally went to put out the fire immediately. However, even so, the mansion was still heavily guarded.

Under the cover of the fire, Yang Jingwen and the others sneaked into the mansion to assassinate Li Yuan’an. However, they were discovered before they could sneak into Li Yuan’an’s room. Fortunately, they managed to escape.

After being discovered, they fought and retreated. By the time they escaped to a safe place, Yang Jingwen and the others were already covered in injuries.

This matter completely angered the Lord of the Northern Border.

He mobilized the troops stationed outside the city to find the assassins at all costs.

Right now, the northern border city had become an iron fort. People had to be strictly checked when they went in and out.

Those who were kicked down the mountain entered the city and arrived at the mansion of the Lord of the Northern Border.

As the representative, the old man entered the study to meet the Lord of the Northern Border. “Greetings, my lord. I’m here to tell you the whereabouts of the two brothers.”

When the Lord of the Northern Border heard this, he clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead bulged, looking very scary. “Where are they?”

The old man was frightened and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look up at him again. “They are on the Heavenly Snow Mountain!”

The Lord of the Northern Border was surprised. “On the Heavenly Snow Mountain?”

The old man said quickly, “Yes, there are two snow lotuses on the Heavenly Snow Mountain. We’ve been staying on the top for nearly half a month. The flowers are about to bloom today. In the end, before the flowers bloomed, two bandits appeared. They were skilled in martial arts, and none of us were their match. We were even kicked down from the top of the mountain.”

The Lord of the Northern Border calmed down. “Are you sure they’re still at the top of the mountain?”

The old man promised, “Your Highness, the snow lotus will only fully bloom in the evening. If we rush over now, we will definitely be able to stop them. However, we have to be fast. If the snow lotus blooms in advance, they might have already left by the time we rush over.”

Hearing this, the Lord of the Northern Border immediately summoned Wan Zhilin.

Wan Zhilin had been in deep trouble for the past few days. Not only was he haggard, but he had also lost a few pounds. “Greetings, Your Lordship.”

The Lord of the Northern Border ordered, “Wan Zhilin, bring people to the Heavenly Snow Mountain immediately. That pair of brothers is at the top of the mountain. You must catch them!”

When Wan Zhilin heard this good news, he recovered his energy. He cupped his fists. “Yes, Your Lordship.”

The old man quickly said, “Your Lordship, we can also help!”

It would be a waste not to use some extra people. The Lord of the Northern Border said, “Go with them. You’ll be rewarded according to your contributions.”

The old man was overjoyed. “Thank you, Your Lordship.”

After Wan Zhilin left the mansion, he gathered all the secret guards before heading to the Heavenly Snow Mountain..
