In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Qimen Dunjia is the law of heaven and earth and nature, while science is the essence of the way of heaven and nature.

Zhang Xiaoshan's astronomical theories, in particular, shocked Huang Yaoshi.

To prove his point, Huang Yaoshi even wanted Zhang Xiaoshan's 'astronomical telescope' design, intending to build one himself.

The first point was to demonstrate the viewpoint, and the second was the design principle of the telescope, which really aroused Huang Yaoshi's curiosity.

"Today is the last day, give me the antidote!"

At this moment, Huang Rong placed her delicate hand in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, her eyes revealing a fierce look.

While taking a bath last night, Huang Rong discovered that the red thread had become an inexhaustible passage through her heart.

Moreover, her heartbeat was faster than usual starting in the morning.

She knew that if she couldn't get the antidote, and the red thread entered her heart, she would surely die, and die a gruesome death.

"Antidote? What antidote?"

Zhang Xiaoshan knew nothing about the matter and completely ignored Huang Rong's outstretched hand.

"How can you be so shameless? You don't keep your word."

"Oh, you mean the Heart-Eating Pill? There's no antidote!"

There is no antidote!

Huang Rong's expression froze upon hearing this, then she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief and roared angrily in a delicate voice:

"You liar, you've been playing me for a fool! Give me the antidote, or else..."

"Or what? The poison you gave me just now?"

"you know?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan's smiling face, Huang Rong immediately realized that Zhang Xiaoshan had already discovered that she had poisoned the food.

But she had personally witnessed Zhang Xiaoshan eat the poisoned food. If Zhang Xiaoshan didn't give her the antidote, then the two of them would perish together.

She was quite confident in her poison.

"The world is a dangerous place. Do you think you're so smart?"

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled softly, then suddenly spat out a jet of blood.

The black blood emitted a horrifying stench, causing even Huang Rong's pretty face to change color.

She knew it was the poison she had used, but she didn't expect Zhang Xiaoshan to force it out so easily.

"In the martial arts world, even the most potent poisons can be forced out of the body by innate masters, unless they are extremely rare.

Besides, I am a master of external martial arts, a true innate expert. Although I lack profound internal energy to protect my internal organs, my qi and blood are so strong that even if these poisons are not forced out, they will have absolutely no effect on me.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's mockery, Huang Rong not only turned pale but also her beautiful eyes filled with despair.

Her opponent was too powerful; she was manipulated like a mouse.

"Alright, what I gave you wasn't poison at all, but a miraculous medicine called 'Heart Blossom,' which can improve blood circulation and speed up metabolism!"

"Not poison?"

Huang Rong looked at the red line on her arm; she didn't believe Zhang Xiaoshan's words at all.

"No, unless you remove the red thread from my body."

"Simple!"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the red line on Huang Rong's arm, grasped Huang Rong's pulse, and stimulated her blood and qi with his true qi.

As Zhang Xiaoshan's pure Yang energy propelled his blood and qi, the red line that originally had one day left instantly crossed the bridge, activating the medicinal power.

Huang Rong sensed the poison seeping into her heart, her face turning deathly pale, and she could hear the low murmurs of a demon in her ears:

"Then it'll be over if the poison takes effect!"

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Her heart pounded violently for a moment. Then, Huang Rong looked down and saw a blood-red rose blooming on her chest.

Despair erupted in Huang Rong's heart; it couldn't be clearer—the signs of the deadly poison taking effect.

At the same time, a strange fragrance emanated from Huang Rong's body.

The unique, refreshing scent of a young girl, mixed with the fragrance of roses, is even more wonderful.

Even agarwood and ambergris are far inferior.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan had an idea and couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.

This laugh terrified Huang Rong, making her even more desperate.

"Alright, the red line should have disappeared!"

The demon's voice rang in Huang Rong's ears, and Huang Rong indeed saw the red thread on her hand fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the red line disappeared completely, the violent heartbeat also ceased.

Back to the light?

But Huang Rong soon realized her lapse in decorum, even revealing her private parts.

"This really isn't poison? You've been lying to me all along?"

Huang Rong's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed, and her murderous aura intensified.

More than being coerced, she hated herself for being so intelligent, yet being treated like a fool and made a fool of.

Especially after seeing how she had just made a fool of herself, Huang Rong, who was not a kind person, was immediately filled with murderous intent.

"Chaos! Shamelessness!"

Huang Rong, filled with anger, struck Zhang Xiaoshan directly on the back with her palm.

But when Zhang Xiaoshan struck, he didn't feel anything, but Huang Rong felt as if she had struck a mountain. The force of the impact caused her slender fingers to turn bright red.

At this moment, Huang Rong felt even more wronged and wanted to cry. She felt she had been bullied like this.

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly looked outside and realized something was wrong.

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi and Zhang Yuan walked in together and saw Huang Rong looking aggrieved, and even noticed that Huang Rong's clothes were disheveled.

This is a huge misunderstanding!

Chapter Thirty: Jade Flute Swordplay, Folding Fan, and Wandering Among Flowers

"you···"

At this point, it was clear that Zhang Xiaoshan was bullying Huang Rong.

Even Zhang Yuan felt helpless, looking at Zhang Xiaoshan with a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his eyes.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Xiaoshan is now in a situation where he can't clear his name no matter what.

“Father, Uncle, it’s not what you think.”

"You brat, how dare you bully Rong'er!"

My daughter is the apple of my eye.

Even though Huang Yaoshi intended to bring the couple together, he was instantly enraged upon seeing this scene.

The jade flute in her hand, imbued with a chilling and sharp sword aura, was swung towards Zhang Xiaoshan. Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly retreated, and at the same time, his figure blurred as he fled outside.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan wasn't running away; rather, he found it more convenient to operate within the courtyard.

Inside the room, the two of them could have easily demolished the house.

Huang Yaoshi followed closely behind, his jade flute dancing swiftly. With a burst of azure light, Zhang Xiaoshan was instantly enveloped in a dense array of sword shadows, and streaks of sword energy lingered around the major acupoints on his body.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan also had a meteorite iron folding fan. With a flick of his jade flute, the meteorite iron folding fan directly blocked his view.

At the same time, the folding fan rotates, seemingly slowly but actually very fast, cutting off all the sword shadows that approached him.

This is a meteorite iron folding fan of divine weapon quality, top-notch in both defense and offense.

Huang Yaoshi's jade flute struck the folding fan, instantly dissipating the sword energy.

Seeing the extraordinary power of the folding fan, Huang Yaoshi became even more ruthless with his jade flute. Not only did the sword shadows flash more intensely, but the jade flute also gradually generated a strange suction force.

However, the folding fan in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand was like a shield. The fan surface was made of silkworm silk, the fan ribs were made of meteorite iron from outer space, and with the enhanced feel of the fan, Zhang Xiaoshan wielded the fan with great skill and grace, which was in no way inferior to the elegance and grace of the Jade Flute Sword Technique.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, one attacking and the other defending.

"This bastard is that strong?"

Huang Rong also came to her senses at this moment, staring at the two people coming and going in the courtyard. Their movements were so fast that even she could only see their extremely fast clash.

She was particularly familiar with the exquisite Jade Flute Sword Technique her father used, not to mention the intense killing intent in every move, yet Zhang Xiaoshan's folding fan still managed to defend against it flawlessly.

Considering how easily Zhang Xiaoshan had forced out the deadly poison, Huang Rong couldn't help but think to herself that he was monstrous.

"Is my niece alright? Did this boy really bully you?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong looked at Zhang Yuan's angry and resentful expression, and considering that he had just arrived with her father, she suddenly realized something.

This is no coincidence!

In an instant, her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and she said pitifully:

"Waaah... Uncle, this bastard keeps bullying me, and just now he even... he even..."

With an expression of unspeakable shame and indignation, coupled with her tearful appearance, Zhang Xiaoshan, who noticed this, almost had a stroke.

That girl did it on purpose!

But compared to Zhang Xiaoshan's resentment, Huang Yaoshi's attack was much more ruthless, filled with murderous intent.

After all, he couldn't remain indifferent to his daughter being bullied like this; he only regretted trusting such a villain.

"Girl, who bullied you?"

"You dug it up yourself, and you even poisoned it!"

While explaining, Zhang Xiaoshan dared not be careless in his actions.

Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation not only failed to alleviate Huang Yaoshi's misunderstanding in the slightest, but was also a blatant insult.

For a moment, even Juexin, Hongxiao, and the others who were watching from the sidelines looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with suspicion.

"You're bullying me, waaaaah..."

What is a girl's greatest weapon?

cry!

Tears streamed down his face as if they were free, and Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

As expected of a little witch!

Faced with Huang Yaoshi's relentless pursuit, Zhang Xiaoshan could only defend and evade for a time.

However, as time went by, Zhang Xiaoshan had a new idea.

Stealing swordsmanship techniques!

The Jade Flute Swordplay is not only exquisite in its swordsmanship, but also elegant in its posture, as graceful as an immortal.

Their method of acupressure is particularly unique.

He lacked a means of attacking or defending himself with his folding fan; he couldn't keep spinning it like a dragon to use as a shield against attacks.

For striking pressure points and defeating enemies, the Jade Flute Sword Technique is the perfect choice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan stopped completely blocking.

Moreover, having become familiar with the Jade Flute's attack methods, one can also exchange a few blows with the folded fan.

However, close-quarters swordsmanship was Zhang Xiaoshan's weakness. After exchanging two blows with his folding fan closed and his crotch squared, Huang Yaoshi used the Jade Leak Silver Arrow to swing the folding fan to the side and then used his jade flute to strike Zhang Xiaoshan's vital point on his chest.

Unfortunately, the blunt force trauma did almost no damage to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Even though the Jade Flute Sword Technique targets acupoints and joints, it's still just a tickle to Zhang Xiaoshan.

After a hundred moves back and forth, it was already past noon.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan had been struck by Huang Yaoshi's jade flute no less than forty or fifty times, yet he remained full of energy, leaving Huang Rong dumbfounded.
