Another thing that Shui Yiyuan was furious about was that the Prince Chu Palace firmly refused to acknowledge that Shui Qingyan was in the Prince Chu Palace.

"Recently, something happened in the Prince Chu Palace. I presume that the Doctor Shui knows about the theft in the Prince Chu Palace last night. According to our investigations, the things that were lost are the things in my son's possession.

Therefore, Shui Yiyuan's hand that was about to take out the jade pendant froze. No matter how foolish Shui Yiyuan was, he understood the meaning behind Prince Chu's words. Once he took out the jade pendant, the Prince Chu would make a move.

The Emperor knows about the theft of the Prince Chu's manor, the Prince Chu will definitely report it to the Emperor. If the Emperor asks him where the jade pendant came from, how will he explain it?!

If the Emperor knew that Shui Qingyan did not return home tonight, and even went to the Ma Ji Town, what kind of attitude would the Emperor have towards him, towards the Shui’s Marion?

If not for the imperial concubine begging for mercy, Shui Qingcheng would have died or become a prostitute. If the Shui family had sent out another Shui Qingcheng, he was afraid that his entire Shui’s Marion would have been treated as a crime against the emperor.

Shui Yiyuan clenched his fists tightly. At least, right now, they could not let the people from the palace know about Shui Qingyan's situation.

In the end, Shui Yiyuan could only allow the jade pendant to continue lying in his sleeves with a dark face.

Unexpectedly, the Prince Chu spoke again, and his tone was filled with disdain.

"I believe that Doctor Shui knows of my son's sudden illness five years ago, my son is currently not in the capital, and I do not have the energy to touch women. Furthermore, the Prince Chu Palace does not covet my wife at all, I do not need to worry, even if my son did leave behind my daughter, he would not treat her like that."

Hearing that, Shui Yiyuan slammed the table and stood up, he glared at Prince Chu and could not say a single word, so in the end, he could only brush his sleeves and leave.

Prince Chu's words had three meanings. One, Chu Chen's body could not touch women. Secondly, even if Chu Chen wanted a woman, he wouldn't want someone as famous as Shui Qingyan. Thirdly, even if Chu Chen accidentally saved Shui Qingyan's life, with his son's personality, he wouldn't even think highly of her, Shui Yiyuan's daughter.

On this trip to the Prince Chu Palace, Shui Yiyuan returned with anger, but what made Shui Yiyuan even angrier was that he still could not shout around!

At this time, when Shui Yiyuan returned to the Shui’s Marion, he was so angry that his head was spinning, and he burrowed into the study room. He did not even eat lunch.

In the study room, Shui Yiyuan who was lying on the rocking chair suddenly opened his eyes. He had to make good use of Shui Qingyan's situation.

Shui Qingyan did not know what her biological father was planning to do in the bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest.

Shui Qingyan was exhausted, her world was a field of darkness, her clothes were all cut up by the wild grasses in the forest. Without her eyes, she did not even have the basic ability to find food.

However, if she wanted to live, she would have to suffer waves of dizziness. From the time she crossed over to now, she didn't seem to have a proper rest, and the side effects of the Energy Recovery Pill had completely erupted. She almost couldn't hold on any longer.

"Why did he not accept Prince Chu's conditions? He has no ill intentions towards you." Hearing this voice, Shui Qingyan's mind gradually recovered its clarity.

This was Phoenix Yaoling's voice.

Shui Qingyan pinched herself, cleared her mind, and then said with a smile: "And why would you appear here? I don't like you, don't you see?"

Phoenix Yaoling laughed, "Your stubbornness is the same as Third Sister's."

Shui Qingyan did not speak, but a faint smile could be seen at the corner of her mouth.

"Is she still alive?" Phoenix Yaoling's tone was indifferent, with a hint of melancholy and hope, and this was the first time Shui Qingyan had heard him speak with all her heart.

Shui Qingyan continued to smile and did not answer.

Phoenix Yaoling had already expected that Shui Qingyan would not answer, so she changed the topic: "Do you know what Prince Chu is doing?"

"I don't want to know." The corner of Shui Qingyan's mouth still faintly curved upwards.

Phoenix Yaoling laughed and shook his head, "Your heart is as tough as a stone."

"Maybe." Shui Qingyan replied with a smile.

"Do you want to know what fate is between you and the Second Prince?" Phoenix Yaoling asked again, her tone filled with absolute temptation.

"I already know." Shui Qingyan's smile was full of estrangement.

"Oh?" Phoenix Yaoling raised her eyebrows, "Other than liking to study her medical knowledge and research on snakes, Third Sister could it be that she also secretly trained in the art of death?"

"My life is only in my hands." Shui Qingyan smiled faintly.

Phoenix Yaoling gave a bland smile as she shook his head, "No matter what, you are the only clue in finding her.

Shui Qingyan slowly moved her feet, ready to counterattack at any moment.

"I don't have any way to treat your eyes, but I'll treat your face first. When you want to cure your eyes, come find me again." Phoenix Yaoling looked at the defense Shui Qingyan had put up, and smiled as she shook her head. If she really wanted to attack, Shui Qingyan would not be able to escape.

"No need." Shui Qingyan rejected it with a smile.

Phoenix Yaoling smiled faintly, and suddenly struck out, ten purple threads suddenly splattered out from her ten fingers, they were like cobwebs, drifting out from Phoenix Yaoling's fingertips, and the source could not be seen, "You don't want me to help, I insist on helping."

Ten threads flew straight towards Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan sneered, the sound of the wind beside her ear had already told her that Phoenix Yaoling had made her move.

"Ice of the Void!" As Shui Qingyan said that, her hands formed a seal, and the threads around her body suddenly froze the moment they came into contact with her, but they still wrapped themselves around her.

Shui Qingyan moved his body, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Since you have helped me, I will not thank you."

Phoenix Yaoling did not seem to hear Shui Qingyan's words. She looked at Shui Qingyan and suddenly laughed towards the sky: "Hahaha, Feng Zitong, didn't you say that you would never accept any disciples in your entire life? You actually even taught her the secret arts of our family, what else do you have that you didn't pass on to her?"

His tone sounded as if he had discovered a new world.

Shui Qingyan's face was ashen, she only wished that she had not learned her master's breathing exercises back then. Without any inner strength, her secret techniques were basically useless in front of Phoenix Yaoling, she had been tied up!

Phoenix Yaoling laughed and then looked at Shui Qingyan. She had already confirmed Shui Qingyan's identity.

She initially thought that Shui Qingyan was only a disciple of Feng Zitong, who had just started training in the secret arts of the Feng Clan. She never thought that Shui Qingyan had learnt the secret arts of Feng Zitong, which indicated that the one who had mastered the technique was Feng Zitong.

Thinking of this, Phoenix Yaoling looked at Shui Qingyan with a funny expression: "Do you know the consequences of using another surname to sneak attack and lock in the air?"

"Hmph." Shui Qingyan said with a cold smile, "It's impossible for your Feng Family and I to get along harmoniously from the start."

Shui Qingyan was already sure that his master was someone from this era, and the stories that his master often told were his master's experiences in this life. In that story, Feng Wushan had once expelled his master from telling him about the Third Miss of the Feng Family!

That Third Young Miss of the Feng Family, must be Master!

Her master was a great benefactor to her, how could she get along well with Feng Wushan!

"If this matter were to spread to Feng Wushan, you will be in the black list. At that time, Feng Family will send wave after wave of assassins, and you, without eyes and without internal energy, will not only die, but also harm the people around you."

Shui Qingyan smirked: "You want to tell me all this?"

"However, if you go to Feng Wushan and tell everyone that you are Feng Zitong's direct disciple, not only will the people of Phoenix Cry Mountain not kill you, they would even hold you in their hands."

"Unfortunately, I don't know any Feng Zitong." Shui Qingyan said with a cold smile.

After a long while, Phoenix Yaoling did not make a sound, but Shui Qingyan could feel the threads of her body slowly becoming tighter, and she could also feel that the spider-like threads had cut her clothes, and embedded into her own flesh.

This was also the case. Under the sunlight, traces of blood slowly flowed out of Shui Qingyan's body.

"You really don't know what's good for you." Phoenix Yaoling squinted looking at the bloodied Shui Qingyan.

She thought back to many years ago, when her sister, whose cultivation in the secret technique was not very good, was also tied up like this and refused to admit defeat.

With a "pa" sound, it was the sound of a thread breaking.

Shui Qingyan smiled lightly, "I have always told the truth, I do not know Feng Zitong."

With a "pa", the sound of another thread breaking could be heard.

Crack, crack, crack. All ten threads were severed.

Phoenix Yaoling retracted the thread, and exactly the part that was cut off was where Shui Qingyan had frozen.

Phoenix Yaoling sighed, this girl was simply too stubborn, her body had already reached such a stage, yet she was still using her own will and struggling.

"To use the Feng Family technique, one must have a strong mind to support it. However, once the mind widens, the backlash from the technique will also return tens of thousands of times back to your own body. Doesn't she know about that?" At this time, Phoenix Yaoling could already feel Shui Qingyan's floating aura.

Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked in Phoenix Yaoling's direction and did not answer.

"Since you are not Feng Zitong's disciple, then how could you recognize me as someone from the Feng Family with a single glance?" Phoenix Yaoling raised her eyebrows, "In this world, those who know that I am a person of the Feng Family are all within the scope of my knowledge, with the exception of you."

Shui Qingyan smiled and did not speak. She had heard her master talk about Feng Wushan countless of times and she had always treated it as a fairy tale. The main character in the story was the Third Miss of the Feng Family, the rebellious Third Miss was never mentioned by Master.

Moreover, the master she knew wasn't called Feng Zitong.

"I know what you're planning. You just want to subdue that white snake, but now that you have no eyes, what are you going to use to communicate with the snake?" Phoenix Yaoling's tone was filled with confusion.

"Give it your all!" Shui Qingyan laughed and said, "As long as you understand my heart, my spiritual items are fine."

"He also said that you don't know Feng Zitong. Other than the people from Feng Family who raise their own personal spiritual object, there is no one else in this world who would dare to keep their spiritual object by their side." Phoenix Yaoling was already speechless.

"I will not agree to Prince Chu's request, so you don't need to put in so much effort to make me agree." Shui Qingyan's attitude was firm.

"Regardless of whether you agree or not, this is a matter between you and Chu Chen, I will not interfere." Phoenix Yaoling gave in in the end, "I will be in the bamboo forest during this time. If you regret or if you think it through, you can find me."

"I won't look for you." Shui Qingyan laughed and said.

Phoenix Yaoling gave one last glance at Shui Qingyan before she left. If Shui Qingyan was an orphan, she would definitely think that Shui Qingyan was Feng Zitong's daughter.

After Phoenix Yaoling left, Shui Qingyan's body went soft, and fell down completely.

Around Shui Qingyan's body, a faint trace of blood was slowly seeping into the soil beneath him, and the stench of blood in the air was also spreading outwards slowly.

The sun slowly moved west. It was a quarter to ten in the afternoon, the time for the snakes to rest and avoid the sun, but today the bamboo forest was abnormally abnormal. The snakes were moving about as if they were looking for something.

At some point the snakes began to retreat again.

Beside Shui Qingyan was a small white snake, about three inches long. It raised its head and looked at Shui Qingyan.

The snake had a pair of black and clear eyes, and a pink tongue.

This snake was the Snake King that Shui Qingyan had saved from the snake-catcher.

The white Snake King watched for a while, but seeing that Shui Qingyan did not make any movements, it crawled forward.

Immediately, a giant python shielded its tail in front of the Snake King.

The snake stopped.

The giant python crawled its way up, and touched Shui Qingyan's eyes with its tongue first. Seeing that Shui Qingyan was not moving at all, as if she was a corpse, and had started to crawl towards Shui Qingyan's body, Shui Qingyan was still not moving at all.

Receiving the signal, the White Snake crawled towards Shui Qingyan.

The white snake first looked at Shui Qingyan's face, then wrapped itself around Shui Qingyan's neck, and finally crawled onto Shui Qingyan's wrist and bit down.

The unconscious Shui Qingyan trembled.

The giant python was terrified, it opened its mouth and bit towards Shui Qingyan's arm, the white python swept its tail and flew a few metres before landing heavily on the ground.

The white snake opened its mouth and pressed its head against the bloody wound on Shui Qingyan's body. It paused for a moment, then turned its head in disgust and decisively left.

The bamboo forest once again returned to its tranquility.
