As Nan Xian left the altar, he could not stand it anymore as fresh blood surged from his throat. He spat it on the ground.

“This power… is too strong. Even I cannot bear it.”

“Master… ” Qing Zhu peeped from behind Nan Xian and asked sadly, “Are you okay?”

Nan Xian lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He smiled faintly and said, “I will be alright after I force all of these powers out again.”

Qing Zhu looked confused.

Was that… true? Why did it feel that Master was not feeling well?

“Master, why did you… say those words to those two little kids just now? The princess wishes to throw you into the bed whenever she sees you. Why would she kill herself?”

Nan Xian glanced at Qing Zhu calmly. “It’s because… if she knew that I had absorbed the powers for her, she would know that I’m hurt. I don’t want to… let her know.”

He did not want to make her feel that she owed him.

“But those two little things, would they really be fooled by your lies?” Qing Zhu asked hesitantly.

That two little things had been on the princess’s side for quite a long time. Being a snake itself, it could already tell its master lies from truths as soon as it heard it, how could that two little things be deceived so easily?

The corners of Nan Xian’s lips gently lifted. “That two spirit herbs would not think much with such limited intelligence. They will just believe what you tell them.”

“Well…”

Without any reason, Qing Zhu pitied those two spirit herbs.

All of them were creatures that possessed spiritual intelligence, how could there be such stupid spirit herbs in this world?

Spirit herb. A spirit creature that was easier to be fooled than the spirit beasts.

All Feng Ruqing felt was that her body was cracking. It felt like something was trying to tear her heart and lungs off.

But soon she was surrounded by a feeling of warmth. The spiritual power that spread inside her body had been absorbed and suddenly faded away.

She thought she saw… she saw a very gentle and handsome face in the vagueness. The look was so mesmerizing, which made her heart beat uncontrollably.

“State Preceptor…”

Beneath the sunlight, Feng Ruqing gradually opened her eyes and rubbed her aching temples. She could not help but smile bitterly after realizing where she was at the moment.

She had missed state preceptor too much. She had even met him in her dreams…

It appeared that state preceptor had kissed her in the dream?

“Mother, you’re awake,” Qing Han immediately noticed Feng Ruqing opened her eyes, she collapsed into her arms excitedly and said, “Yay, finally you’re awake. Oh, by the way, Father said he did not come before, he did not bite you, and he would never say that you will kill yourself. Mother, please, believe me, Father said nothing before.”

Feng Ruqing was speechless.

What the heck was all that about?

“Qing Han!” Fu Chen’s face twisted in anger as he hurriedly dragged Qing Han from Feng Ruqing’s arms, “What are you babbling about?”

Qing Han’s eyes were filled with grief. “I didn’t babble. Father had never come and never bit Mother before. I said nothing wrong.”

It was apparent that Father had told them not to let Mother know that he came before.

She listened to Father’s words, so she told Mother that Father was not here before.

Did she say something wrong?

Feng Ruqing caressed her forehead and asked, “Qing Han, be good. Tell Mother why did your Father come? Mother hates children who tell lies.”

Qing Han could say nothing. Her eyes widened as she pointed with her fingers pathetically, “Brother Fu Chen, why is Mother so clever? She knows that I’m lying …”

Fu Chen wanted to scold and ask her if she was stupid.

But he was afraid of Qing Han’s tears, so he did not yell at her.

The only thing was that…

They grew up together. The same spirit water was used to pour on them, so why did she not possess half of his intelligence? How idiotic!

He hated to admit that he knew her, what should he do…
