Chapter 21 I always feel like I'm stealing something
Gu Feixue was quite surprised to see him being carried back by Gu Qinghan, covered in blood.
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that the Qian family didn't have any strong experts?"
Gu Qinghan quickly explained what had happened.
But the final poisoning process was definitely omitted.
She was a little helpless, but still ordered Zhou Han and the others to start cleaning his wounds.
Peeling back the tattered clothes and soft armor in front of him, it was discovered that part of the skin on his chest was torn open, which showed how powerful the impact of the Blood Demon was.
Gu Qinghan was also terrified and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Gu Feixue was very familiar with healing, after all, she had been healing Gu Qinghan for ten years, and had learned some medical skills through her experience.
At that time, Gu Qinghan was treated at the Holy Healing Center of the Church of Light and Shadow. Gu Qinghan was five years old when he was burned by a fire due to the Eastern Palace Incident and became infected with fire poison.
Xu Tianyi, on the other hand, was infected with blood poison, and the two had somewhat similar injuries.
She asked Zhou Han to remove his outer clothes and clean his wounds, and then used her inner energy to help Xu Tianyi expel the poison.
After a long while, Gu Feixue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The blood poison has been mostly expelled, but it has caused him great damage and excessive blood loss. He may be weak for a while."
Gu Qinghan smiled after hearing this: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright..."
. . .
Soon, Xu Tianyi also regained consciousness.
The group was ready to depart for the state capital.
Seeing Gu Qinghan in front of him, Xu Tianyi smiled slightly: "Next time... I won't joke around..."
Gu Qinghan pouted: "You're so badly injured, yet you still tease me. Do you know you almost died?"
Hearing her concern, Xu Tianyi was also somewhat moved.
"It's alright, it's alright... It's just a pity we didn't search the Qian family's belongings, especially their unique cultivation method. Although it's an evil technique, it still has some reference value..."
After saying this, Gu Qinghan said speechlessly, "What time is it? You're still thinking about cultivation? Just lie there quietly. I doubt you'll recover in at least six months..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi was somewhat stunned. Half a year!
You should know that four years later, according to the plot, they are to be forced by Wuchen to go to Jukuzhou to fight Wanxiang!
Not long after the battle of Wanxiang, the world will be in chaos, the Crown Prince will be almost killed by Yu Linglong, and the King of Chu has already been killed by Yu Linglong.
In other words, the real winner of the internal strife in the Wuji Empire is very likely still the Qi King, whom Wuchen supported.
What to do with the last Golden Crow and Candle Dragon?
The more Xu Tianyi thought about it, the more he realized he couldn't just lie around. He needed to have enough strength to gain more say in the chaos four years later.
Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Qinghan, that Blood Demon Technique is very important to me. With it, I can recover my body as soon as possible. I don't want to lie in bed for half a year, only to find that you've already become a Grandmaster while I'm still just a Martial Master..."
Gu Qinghan said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we're still young. Half a year will pass in a flash. At worst, I won't advance; I'll wait for you..."
Xu Tianyi shook his head: "No! I'm begging you, please help me look for it. It must be in that bungalow on the ground floor."
Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at him: "Fine, I'll go take a look..."
She turned and got out of the carriage, while Gu Feixue was still organizing the caravan.
Upon hearing Xu Tianyi's request, she, who did not want to cause trouble, was also afraid that her treatment of Xu Tianyi was not thorough enough, so she accompanied Gu Qinghan to search for him.
Linxi County was already remote, and after the Qian family's major upheaval, their servants, retainers, and several other prominent families were all eager to make a move.
If the two women go there now, there is a possibility that they will be discovered.
But clearly, everyone was afraid that the people who broke into the Qian family hadn't all left.
Therefore, only the Qian family's original servants and slaves were inside stealing things.
No one dared to enter the treasure vault.
Gu Feixue led Gu Qinghan directly back to the courtyard filled with the smell of blood.
Clearly, no one dared to come in.
Because those who entered were all confused and attacked each other.
The area was littered with corpses, a gruesome and terrifying sight.
Gu Feixue was a woman of great experience, but she was still frightened at this moment.
Gu Qinghan was the boldest; she bypassed the blood demon's corpse and entered the treasure vault with her protective true energy.
Gu Feixue followed.
After the two women entered the treasure vault, they discovered that it had a two-story design.
The first layer consists of numerous skeletons, a pool of blood, and unlocked cold iron chains.
Clearly, the Blood Demon is guarding the first level.
The second level is naturally where the treasure vault is located, but the iron gate is closed.
Gu Feixue forcefully attacked the iron gate for a long time before finally opening it.
It contains a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as well as the Qian family's private collection accumulated over many years.
There were even weapons and armor, as well as some cultivation techniques, spiritual medicines, and alchemy furnaces.
Gu Feixue had once entered the Wuji Empire's treasury, which was naturally far more dazzling than this small treasury.
Gu Qinghan had never seen it before, so she was still quite shocked.
It's incredible that a family in a small county town could accumulate so much gold and silver.
This shows just how ruthless the Qian family was in plundering the entire city.
Especially the first floor, which is filled with more than a thousand skeletons!
And most of them were women and children.
Both of them fell silent.
After a long silence, Gu Qinghan spoke, "Mother, it's time to go..."
Gu Feixue sighed, "Do you think all these aristocratic families are so ruthless? No wonder everyone says the Crown Prince is benevolent; it seems these aristocratic families are truly too cruel."
Gu Qinghan shook his head: "In the future, when we find Father, we will inform him and ask him to thoroughly investigate them."
Gu Feixue nodded as well.
The two found a jewelry box, selected some jewelry and medicinal herbs, and also packed some nice antiques in it before finally stuffing in the dozen or so books.
The two men quickly left, carrying two boxes.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a large crowd of onlookers.
Gu Feixue's face flushed red. She was the Crown Princess, how could she dare to steal things? How shameful!
Fortunately, she brought a veil and a straw hat.
Gu Qinghan felt incredibly excited; she had never done anything that went against her own upbringing and education.
Even if it's reasonable—as a princess, it's not wrong for her to confiscate his property—I still feel like I've become bad.
The two women returned to the caravan and hurriedly urged the caravan to leave.
Although I don't know why I was in such a hurry, I did it anyway, as if someone was chasing me.
Xu Tianyi also obtained the thirteen books at this moment.
Good heavens, this is truly an evil technique.
Blood Refining Technique, Blood Control Technique, Blood Demon Refining Technique, Yin Ghost Refining Technique...
