On the other hand, Liu Qian Xun was not the least bit polite. After hearing Liu Ruo Qing's explanation to Qi Feng, he unhappily snorted and said: "Fine, tell me, it's not your people, nor is it the People from the Divine Artefact Hall. Could it be that there was a third person at that time?"
"…"
Qi Feng was unable to refute him for a moment.
Although she didn't want to accept Liu Qian Xun's guess, at that time, the People from the Divine Artefact Hall was indeed surrounded by their people and had no way of escaping, let alone going in front of the wangfei and piercing a flying dagger into her stomach.
Back then, the direction of the throwing daggers had indeed come from in front of the wangfei. If a third party had been present, how could the guards protecting the prince not have noticed?
Seeing that Qi Feng's head was lowered, he pursed his lips and did not refute, immediately helping him out: "Guard Qi, I know about this matter, it has nothing to do with you guys, don't take this to heart, wait for Prince to wake up first."
"Yes, Princess."
Qi Feng glanced at the arrogant Liu Qian Xun, and then cupped his hands towards Liu Ruo Qing, "Then this general will take his leave first."
After Qi Feng left, Liu Ruo Qing once again looked at Liu Qian Xun's serious and unhappy face, and fawningly smiled. "Master, why did you come here?"
"Humph!" You still have the nerve to ask! "
Liu Qian Xun's expression darkened even more. "If Banyan Tian didn't tell me that you went all the way to the northwest to find Yan Yuan, would I have come all the way here?"
Liu Ruo Qing did not doubt Liu Qian Xun's intention. Hearing his words, he looked slightly moved, "I knew that Master dotes on me the most, if not for Master this time, I really would have died."
Liu Qian Xun did not speak, he only turned around and avoided Liu Ruo Qing's gaze of gratitude.
His brown pupils trembled slightly. A lump of ink condensed in the depths of his eyes that could not be dispersed. It was as if he was carrying too much weight on it. He did not say anything.
"Master …"
Liu Ruo Qing thought that Liu Qian Xun was still angry at her and once reached out to tug on the hem of his clothes ingratiatingly.
"Aiya, that's enough!"
Liu Qian Xun turned around impatiently, and looked at her fawning face, then glared at her unhappily: "This time, I'll forgive you. There's no next time."
"Yes, your disciple understands. I won't worry you ever again."
"Humph!" "Don't say too much. Since you were young, you have never made me feel at ease."
Liu Ruo Qing laughed dryly twice, then heard Liu Qian Xun continue: "Your injuries are not light. Quickly go back inside your room and lie down, don't cause trouble for me."
"Understood, Master!"
Liu Ruo Qing turned her head and looked at Yan Yuan who was sleeping soundly on the bed. After confirming that he had escaped death, he walked out of the room with a relieved heart.
Liu Qian Xun did not leave. Instead, he got up and slowly walked to the front of Yan Yuan's bed. After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh.
"You and Qing Er are bound to meet no end. When that day comes, I am truly curious if you will give up even your Yan Family's Jiang Shan for her."
When he saw the unconscious Yan Yuan, he frowned slightly. His bloodless lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say a thousand things, yet couldn't make a single sound.
Liu Ruo Qing returned to the room next door while covering her wounds, just in time to see Jin Shu bringing the medicine in, "Princess, your medicine is ready."
"Alright, leave it."
Looking at the steaming black medicinal juice, Liu Ruo Qing pondered for a moment. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, looked at Jin Shu and asked: "Where did my master meet us?"
"It's on the public road in Jinbei County. What's wrong, wangfei? Is there a problem?"
Jin Shu was born a secret guard, so she was much more sensitive than normal people. Even though Liu Ruo Qing was just randomly asking a question, she could feel that something was amiss.
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then, she smiled and shook her head: "Nothing, my master came all the way to find me, I pity him a little."
She did not tell Jin Shu the truth. Furthermore, she did not know how she should express the terrifying thought in her heart.
For a moment, she actually suspected her master. In fact, this feeling didn't only happen in an instant, but slowly took root in her heart.
She didn't know how she could be so detestable as to suspect an old man who raised her from a young age, but that kind of doubt couldn't be dispelled.
The public road of Jinbei County was not far from the main hall of the Shen Ji Hall. Coming out of the forest, it was that same public road.
That day, when she heard Xiaoyi mention the "Mr. Liu" and the "Mr. Liu" array formation, she did not think of her master. After all, how could an old man who had transmigrated from a modern world be associated with the imperial government?
However, this time, she had been severely injured, but had coincidentally met her master. All of this had been too much of a coincidence for her.
On top of that, after the old man had saved her and Yan Yuan at Flower Creek County that day, he had disappeared without a sound, saying that he had something to do.
Who else could he meet and know in this era that was out of place for him other than her?
This was something that puzzled her, but she had never thought about it too deeply.
Furthermore, there was the relationship between the old man and Mo Rong Tian's master. She always felt that they were not acquainted.
With Mo Rong Tian's skill, even if he wasn't the old man's match, he still wouldn't have completely acknowledged the old man as her master. All of these made her feel a little suspicious.
Mo Rong Tian's identity was suspicious, and master's actions were also suspicious …
What was it that they were hiding from her?
Liu Ruo Qing realized that once she thought deeper, the fear in her heart would become deeper and deeper.
She hated herself for being so suspicious and perverse, actually suspecting her master. However, in her heart, there was another person, and that person was her own master. She couldn't help but suspect something.
The Mr. Liu that Xiaoyi mentioned … Could it be a master?
Once planted, the seeds of doubt would become uncontrollable.
The more Liu Ruo Qing thought about it, the more she connected the "Mr. Liu" that Xiaoyi mentioned with his old man.
However …
If it was Master, why would Master do this?
What connection could an old man from the modern era have with the Shen Ji Hall?
The more Liu Ruo Qing thought about it, the more confused she became. Her head hurt more, even her wound hurt.
Jin Shu didn't know what Liu Ruo Qing was thinking, but seeing that her expression was extremely ugly, she warned her, "Esteemed wangfei, the medicine is already cold, hurry up and take it."
Jin Shu's voice brought Liu Ruo Qing back to her senses, she suppressed the doubt in her heart, held up the medicine, endured the bitter and astringent medicinal taste, and drank all the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.
Liu Ruo Qing drank the medicine, and not long after lying down, he started to fall asleep, very quickly, her eyelids sunk, and she fell asleep.
