s internal skill techniques to you.

If I could do it again, I would still do the same." Zhao Tianyu hesitated for a moment, looking at his own father with some remorse, he had let him down.
"Enough, enough! You unlucky son! Get out! I don't want to see you for now, just looking at you makes me furious!" Zhao Jin was so angry that he didn't even want to speak. If he could beat him, he would have beaten him to a pulp long ago!
"Well then, Father, I'll be going."
"Roll, roll, roll!"
Uncomfortably scratching his nose, Zhao Tianyu swiftly left.
……
On the horizon, the setting sun dragged its long shadow slowly down towards the ground, painting the surging clouds a brilliant red.
Su Qingying was still lying in the gazebo, feeding the koi fish intermittently.
Glossy, black hair cascaded down her back, swaying playfully in the occasional autumn breeze.
The orange light slanted across her picturesque face, casting a warm glow on her stunning features. Her beauty was further enhanced, making her appear incredibly alluring and captivating, like an ethereal being untouched by the mundane world.
I was just getting bored when I caught a glimpse of Xuan Yuan Rong Fei walking over slowly, clutching her waist. I instantly perked up and whistled at her in a rather ruffian manner, "Yo, newlyweds! It seems Shangguan Jing Hong finally let you go"
"Master!" Hearing the teasing in her words, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei's face flushed red like a cooked shrimp. She stomped her foot playfully, as if to reprimand him.
She was just feeling annoyed, when suddenly, a familiar voice cut straight through them from beside them, "Qīngyíng!"
Hearing the sound, both women raised their eyes to look over. Su Qingying was slightly stunned.
Yuan Chen I didn't expect to see him again in such a situation.
"Seventh Brother, how did you come here" Seeing that it was Xuan Yuan Che, Xuan Yuan Rongfei immediately walked over enthusiastically and pulled him over. They sat down in a corner of the pavilion, facing Su Qingying from afar.
Turning his gaze slightly away from Su Qingying, Xuan Yuan Che gazed at the faint happiness on her face, a sigh of relief escaped his chest as he smiled: "My mission is to escort you safely to Nanjiang. Now that you're married to the second prince of Nanjiang, I can rest assured and return."
"Seventh brother, are you leaving" Upon hearing that he was leaving, Xuen Yuan Rong Fei's eyes turned red with reluctance.
"Hmm." As he spoke, Xuan Yuan Che couldn't help but look at Su Qingying who was sitting opposite him with an air of tranquility. There were faint emotions churning in his eyes.
At this moment, Su Qingying leaned against the railing, half-closing her phoenix eyes contentedly, enjoying the cool breeze. Her whole person exuded a languid charm that was mesmerizing and intoxicating. Xuanyuan Che stared at her for a moment, completely entranced.
A subtle shift in his thoughts, he suddenly longed to hear her voice. He took the initiative and spoke, "Qingying, it's been a long time. How are you doing"
Even though he knew he wasn't qualified to possess her, nor even to dream of her, his gaze always found itself following her.
He thought that after a period of time apart, the affection he harbored for her would gradually fade. But upon seeing her today, he realized that she had already taken deep root in his heart. His feelings for her were something he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried!
"Not bad, quite refreshing, isn't it" Su Qingying casually said as she lightly twirled the strands of ink-black hair at her temple behind her ear.
"I heard you're getting engaged to Jun Liye How does he treat you" Xuen Yuan Che looked at her with a gaze that held a hint of hidden, intense heat.
"Well, to be able to meet him, fall in love with him, and spend my life with him amidst the vast sea of people and the swirling red dust is my luck. To receive his love is the happiest thing in my life." When talking about Jun Liye, Su Qingying's usually carefree brow lit up with a touch of happiness, and even her jet-black phoenix eyes softened slightly.
A slight sting came from the bottom of his heart, Xuan Yuan Che smiled wryly, bitterness surged like a tidal wave in an instant, "It seems you really love him."
"Xuan Yuan Che, don't be discouraged. The world is so big, you will always meet a woman who captures your heart in the future. Let the past be the past, why dwell on it" Su Qingying wasn't stupid, she could see the affection in his eyes, but since she had no feelings for him, she wouldn't give him even a sliver of hope.
Either love or not love, she wouldn't string someone along.
"Alright, thank you for the well wishes." Xuan Yuan Che once again smiled bitterly.
She rarely took the initiative to care about him, but only to let him go and accept other women. This was her ruthless rejection of him!
For the first time, he hated her intelligence.
Xuan Yuan Rong Fei pursed her lips and sat silently on one side. Matters of the heart are hard to say, but once missed, it's missed. Even though she felt sympathy for her Seventh Royal Brother in her heart.
"Then I wish you fair winds and safe travels."
He nodded slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing more. The expression on his face was filled with desolation and bitterness, a piercing pain, in the moment he turned away.
……
It was night, stars twinkling, the moon a crescent.
In the backyard of the prince's mansion, Su Qingying and others were all gathered around a stone table, listening to Zhao Tianyu tell them everything that had happened in the palace.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't get the antidote for the Golden Cicada Venom for you." Zhao Tianyu said apologetically, looking at Su Qingying's tightly furrowed brows.
Su Qingying clutched the teacup tightly in her hand. Under the cool night, her beautiful eyes were misty with a hint of fog, and she lowered her head and shook it slightly, "It's not your fault, you've done your best, besides, you've helped me so much."
She oversimplified things.
Zhao Ruqing...
He narrowed his eyes, a cold killing intent flashed through him like ice, it seemed that the breakthrough still had to start from her!
"Then what should we do next" Knowing the ins and outs of the situation, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei felt extremely guilty about her own impulsiveness. Her little head hung low.
"Try to find the mother of the Jinchan Gu..." Su Qingying slightly raised her obsidian-like, glittering phoenix eyes. Just as she opened her mouth, strange sounds suddenly arose around them. Su Qingying immediately stopped talking and subconsciously looked around.
"Rustling..." In the pitch-black night, red bugs surrounded them silently at some point!
Behind them, dozens of men in black, each holding a short flute, settled steadily on the wall, looking down at them with an air of both pity and disdain, as if they were already dead.
At the same time, he placed the short flute in his mouth and blew softly. As a low, eerie flute melody arose, the red insects surrounding them seemed to be suddenly energized, charging at them fiercely.
Moreover, the target of the attack was still Xuanyuan Rongfei!
"Rong Fei, be careful!" As the unexpected happened, Su Qingying's face turned serious. Her fingers moved swiftly, and several silver needles appeared between her fingertips, their sharp points gleaming with a chilling cold light.
With a flick of his wrist, he accurately pinned several venomous insects flying towards Xuan Yuan Rong Fei firmly onto the tree trunk.
"Goodness me, what kind of insect is this It's so disgusting!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei wasn't someone unfamiliar with large crowds, she immediately twitched and swung her long whip, constantly lashing at the venomous insects. Glancing at the dense swarm of venomous insects surrounding her, her scalp tingled with unease.tion for ruthlessness is known throughout the land. How could someone like him truly care for you Being with him will only lead to hurt! Your elder brother won't stand by and watch you jump into a fir...
