310 Detoxification
Yi Chuxiang had expected that Xu Qing would say this, so she immediately said, “But my son has already acknowledged your son as his mentor.”
Xu Qing was speechless.
Qi Yi finally understood the situation, but he didn’t cheer happily or cry bitterly. This was because although he could practice martial arts, he had to leave his parents. This was too heavy a burden for a six-year-old child.
“Yi Chuxiang, have you asked your son? Is he willing?” Xu Qing looked at Qi Yi, whose expression had changed.
Yi Chuxiang was stunned. Then, she squatted in front of Qi Yi and smiled gently. “Haven’t you always wanted to learn martial arts? Aren’t you happy now? You’ll learn very martial arts on a profound level.”
Qi Yi nodded, then shook his head. “But I don’t want to leave you!”
“Silly child, if you miss us, you can come back and see us. Or we can visit you too! Just treat it as going out to study in advance. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.” Yi Chuxiang’s voice was a little choked, but she still smiled in front of the child.
Qi Yi tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he didn’t say anything. His two small hands were tightly clenched together.
Qi Shizhong roared, “Brat, learn from your mentor. If you can’t beat me when you come back, I’ll kill you.”
Qi Shizhong was a strict father, but at this moment, Qi Yi didn’t feel any sternness from him.
“Hmph, when I come back, I’ll definitely defeat you!” Qi Yi shouted.
Xu Qing smiled bitterly. Yi Chuxiang had probably planned this right from the beginning.
“Little Qing, I really hope that my son can achieve his wish. I don’t want to ruin his future. Just take him away. You don’t have to be soft-hearted towards him at all! I won’t see what you do anyway. As long as he can master those martial arts skills, I’ll be at ease.” Yi Chuxiang had to maintain a distance. Otherwise, she really couldn’t bear to let him learn martial arts.
Xu Qing pursed her lips as she looked at Yuan’er. In the end, she nodded. “Alright!”
She didn’t know why Yi Chuxiang couldn’t bear to let her son suffer at all but was ruthless enough to send him away. However, this concerned Yi Chuxiang’s private matters, and she didn’t want to pry. However, Yi Chuxiang believed that she wasn’t Ying Zhiyao and was willing to plead for leniency from Yi Chulin on her behalf, so she would help her.
Yi Chuxiang smiled at Xu Qing gratefully.
Upon seeing Yi Chuxiang’s smile, Qi Shizhong’s discomfort dissipated. No matter what, his wife had the most say.
Xu Qing would treat it as finding a companion for her son. Moreover, her son was also willing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have attacked Qi Shizhong. Yuan’er was actually a socially awkward child.
Xu Qing planned to go back after Qiao Yanhui’s poison was completely detoxed, in case something went wrong. Fortunately, she had been carrying other herbs. Now, she was only waiting for the Lingzhi Immortal Grass to grow.
Because the poison in Qiao Yanhui’s body had been there since he was young, the poison had already seeped into his bones. It wasn’t something that could be cured overnight. Therefore, they needed to stay in New Heavenly Kingdom for a few more months.
Qiao Yanhui had to soak in a medicinal bath for a month. Of course, this time’s treatment wasn’t as simple as simply detoxing the poison. After Qiao Yanhui was detoxed, the sealed internal energy in his body would all recover. Even a powerful secret family might not be Qiao Yanhui’s match.
The first time she detoxed Qiao Yanhui, Xu Qing collapsed from exhaustion. However, instead of falling to the ground as she expected, she fell into a warm embrace.
Xu Qing opened her eyes tiredly. When she felt her body getting hotter and hotter, she immediately blushed. “You hooligan!”
“I’m innocent. You were the one who stripped me naked.” Qiao Yanhui’s silly and cute demeanor stunned Xu Qing. For a moment, she almost thought that she had returned to the time when Qiao Yanhui was still a fool.
“How can you wear clothes while soaking in the medicinal bath…” Xu Qing said.
“You actually refuse to own up to it after taking off my clothes.” Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were filled with tears. When he saw Xu Qing’s stunned expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle. Then, he picked Xu Qing up and walked towards the bed.
Xu Qing exclaimed, “Little Hui, don’t!”
“Don’t what?” After Qiao Yanhui placed Xu Qing on the bed, his tall body pressed down on her.
“Don’t… don’t…” Xu Qing blushed in panic. She was too tired today…
The mirth in Qiao Yanhui’s eyes deepened. “Go to sleep!”
“Huh?” Xu Qing was stunned. That was it?
“After you’ve seen my sexy figure, you can’t bear to close your eyes now?” Qiao Yanhui teased.
