Chapter 49 Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment
Yaoyue stared at Su Qingfeng, her cool voice ringing out: "You think I'd agree to that?"
Su Qingfeng smiled mysteriously: "You will. For your sister's sake, you won't refuse."
"You...you can heal Lianxing's hands and feet?" Yaoyue's figure flashed, and she grabbed Su Qingfeng, asking urgently.
Looking at Yaoyue so close to him and smelling her faint fragrance, Su Qingfeng said helplessly, "I don't know how. I'm not a doctor, how could I cure her?"
"You're asking for it!" Yaoyue was shocked to hear him mocking her, so she grabbed Su Qingfeng and slammed him against the wall.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng immediately used his lightness skill to catch Su Qingfeng, who was about to crash into the wall. To his surprise, Yaoyue didn't seem to really intend to kill Su Qingfeng—even if he fell against the wall, it would only result in superficial injuries and no real danger. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at Yaoyue.
After being rescued by Lu Xiaofeng, Su Qingfeng yelled at Yaoyue, "You bastard! Can't you let a person finish speaking, you crazy woman?"
"Speak." Yaoyue suppressed her anger, glared at Su Qingfeng with an imposing aura, and uttered a single word.
Su Qingfeng felt uncomfortable seeing Yaoyue's condescending attitude and casually said, "I'm thirsty."
Yaoyue's gaze turned cold, and she said sternly, "Don't be ungrateful. If you don't speak now, you don't need to speak at all."
"Black Jade Healing Ointment," Su Qingfeng replied, not daring to truly anger this ruthless woman, "it can heal Lianxing's hands and feet."
"Black Jade Broken-Healing Ointment? What is that?" Yaoyue had never heard of this name before.
Seeing her beautiful yet somewhat dazed expression, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh: "Of course it's medicine, what else could it be but fruit?"
"You're asking for it!" Yaoyue suppressed her anger. "Can this medicine really cure my sister's hands and feet?"
"nature."
"Where?"
"Hmm." Su Qingfeng smiled and extended her hand.
Yaoyue glared angrily, seeing that he actually wanted her Azure Blood Illuminating Crimson Sword, and wished she could cut off his hand with one stroke. But thinking of Lianxing's hands and feet being crippled for many years and still incurable, if this Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment really worked, borrowing the sword for a month wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Take it."
Su Qingfeng caught the sword and found it to be quite heavy.
"It's a fine sword, but the dark green color is unsettling to look at."
Lu Xiaofeng, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Brother Su, do you understand swordsmanship?"
"don't know."
"How do you know if it's a good sword?"
Su Qingfeng looked at him as if he were a fool: "Yaoyue is right here. If I were to say this is a broken sword, wouldn't I be courting death?"
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that he had finally met someone who could talk as much as he could today.
Seeing her sword in Su Qingfeng's hand, Yaoyue's anger flared: "Now you can tell me where the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment is, right? If you can't cure my sister, you know the consequences."
Su Qingfeng didn't hide anything: "It's the Great Yuan Vajra Sect. This sect operates in secrecy, and its leader, the Fire-Worker Monk, is probably already a Grandmaster and has pledged allegiance to the Great Yuan Dynasty. It won't be easy for you to obtain the medicine."
"Vajra Gate? Fire-Worker Monk? I've never heard of them."
"That's because you're inexperienced."
Yaoyue was too lazy to argue with him at the moment; all she wanted was the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment. As for this annoying fellow, she would deal with him later.
"Since you know about the Black Jade Broken Skin Ointment, you must have a way to get your hands on it, right?"
"How...how is that possible! I don't know martial arts, where am I supposed to get it?"
In his haste, Su Qingfeng almost let slip the truth. Actually, if he really wanted to get the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, it wouldn't be too difficult—he just needed to ask Zhao Min, and although she would be unwilling, she would eventually give it to him.
Tell me your conditions.
"I'm not in a position to help, and I can't offer any assistance. I'm tired, I'm going to rest now."
Su Qingfeng carried the Azure Blood Painting and left after speaking. No one stopped him, and he didn't want to cause trouble by helping Yaoyue.
If he were to reveal that Zhao Min possessed the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, wouldn't that bring trouble upon that girl? Besides, mentioning Zhao Min would inevitably lead Lu Xiaofeng and Yaoyue to guess his identity. Su Qingfeng also planned to visit the Sui Dynasty to see the "Longevity Manual," and if he could also obtain Yang Gong's treasure along the way, that would be even better.
"Alright, let's go and rest too."
After seeing Su Qingfeng leave, Yaoyue glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and Song Zhi before leading the Yihua Palace group away.
Seeing that Su Qingfeng left without saying goodbye, Lu Xiaofeng was somewhat displeased. He smiled at Song Zhi, then vanished in a flash. Only after everyone had dispersed did Song Zhi speak to Song Yuzhi:
"Yu Zhi, you're wrong this time. You shouldn't have stopped me from helping Lord Wu Xiang."
Song Yuzhi was speechless at this point. She hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to resolve the crisis so easily.
"Second Uncle, I originally planned to help him when he was in dire straits, so that if we needed his help in the future, he would have a hard time refusing... Who knew that he could persuade Yaoyue to give up her murderous intent with just a few words, and even take away her sword."
"Alright, let's rest first. I hope we can still have a good relationship with Lord Wu Xiang in the future."
Inside the inn room, Su Qingfeng waited until midnight before quietly getting up and slipping out. He didn't want to travel to the Great Sui Dynasty with these dangerous individuals. Before leaving, he had already signaled to his guards, who would understand that he was leaving in the middle of the night.
"Brother Su, why are you sneaking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you perhaps going to steal the jade?"
"I really am... Li Xiaofeng, why are you so persistent! I don't have time for you right now, go do whatever you need to do, don't follow me."
Su Qingfeng was startled by Lu Xiaofeng's sudden appearance. Seeing him wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, Su Qingfeng felt a surge of annoyance. Lu Xiaofeng's voice would likely be heard by everyone else. Without another word, Su Qingfeng used his movement technique to instantly dart out the door.
Lu Xiaofeng squatted on the roof, watching Su Qingfeng sneak away, and couldn't help but laugh. He had long guessed that Su Qingfeng, whose skin was as thick as his own, would definitely sneak away in the middle of the night.
As expected, the more Lu Xiaofeng looked at Su Qingfeng, the more he felt they resembled each other. He laughed and shouted down from the rooftop:
"Brother Su, don't go. Those guys outside are your guards, right? They've already been knocked unconscious by Yaoyue. If you go out now, you'll probably be knocked out and dragged back too."
Su Qingfeng was taken aback, then looked up and asked, "Wow, how did Yaoyue know I was leaving?"
Lu Xiaofeng wasn't really sure what Yaoyue was up to. With her abilities, dealing with Su Qingfeng wouldn't require such trouble. He figured that Yaoyue probably wanted to find out Su Qingfeng's background, just like him—after all, this person was so familiar with things on the Great Yuan side.
"How would I know? Maybe I was afraid you'd run away with the blood-stained portrait."
Seeing Lu Xiaofeng leap down from the rooftop, Su Qingfeng quickly waved, "Little Lu, use your Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens to take me away!"
Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand, "Brother Su, I'm afraid that won't work."
He didn't come down willingly; he was forced down by an overwhelming force. Looking up, he saw Yaoyue already standing quietly behind Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingfeng urged him anxiously, "What's wrong with that? Hurry up, let's go together, it's not safe to stay here!"
"Um... um..." Lu Xiaofeng was locked in place by Yaoyue's aura. If he moved, he would probably die before he could even get up.
Su Qingfeng moved closer to him, still urging, "What are you dawdling for? If you don't leave soon, that ruthless Yaoyue will catch you!"
"Brother Su, turn around, quickly turn around and look!" Lu Xiaofeng tried hard to signal Su Qingfeng with his eyes, but Su Qingfeng didn't notice at all. He was afraid that if Su Qingfeng continued, things would get worse, so he quickly reminded him.
"Why turn back... **! The moon is so round tonight! I didn't expect the noble and beautiful Palace Mistress Yaoyue to be enjoying the moon as well. We won't disturb your enjoyment then."
Su Qingfeng turned around and met Yaoyue's icy face. Startled, he quickly flattered her and dragged Lu Xiaofeng into the inn.
Back in the room, Su Qingfeng grabbed Lu Xiaofeng and asked, "My god, when did Yaoyue arrive? Lu Xiaoji, you didn't even tell me! Are you trying to get me killed?"
Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly, "I've been giving you signals with my eyes, but you just didn't notice."
Su Qingfeng really wanted to punch him: "How could I possibly see you winking and making faces in the middle of the night?"
"Uh... I forgot that Brother Su doesn't know martial arts."
Lu Xiaofeng only then realized that Su Qingfeng didn't know martial arts, which surprised him greatly. Almost all his friends were skilled in martial arts; this was the first time he'd made friends with someone completely ignorant of it, and he felt a little out of place. Su Qingfeng, meanwhile, was pondering Yaoyue's intentions—if she only wanted the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths; she could have simply threatened him. Unable to figure it out, he turned to Lu Xiaofeng and asked, "Lu Xiaofeng, what do you think Yaoyue really wants?"
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and shook his head, replying, "I can't guess that. But Brother Su, what exactly is your background? I have a feeling that Palace Mistress Yaoyue might want to find out your identity." "Then why doesn't she just arrest me and interrogate me?" Lu Xiaofeng was also puzzled and chimed in:
"That's strange indeed. Given Yaoyue's capricious and ruthless nature, if she really wanted to get anything out of her, she would have already resorted to torture. This time, however, things are different." "Never mind, let's go to sleep."
Su Qingfeng felt that thinking too much was pointless, so she decided to rest first, as she still had to travel tomorrow.
On the rooftop outside the inn, Yaoyue stood alone, gazing at the night sky. The sky was overcast, and not a single moon or star could be seen. Remembering Su Qingfeng's nonsensical talk, a slight smile played on her lips. Just then, a white figure gently landed beside her. Lianxing asked, "Sister, do you think that glib-tongued fellow was telling the truth?" Yaoyue looked at her sister and nodded.
"It should be true. I can tell he wasn't lying, but it probably won't be easy for us to obtain the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment on our own. We're not familiar with the Great Yuan lands of the grasslands, and the Vajra Sect isn't something we can find in a short time."
Lianxing was puzzled by her sister's actions this time. In the past, when Yaoyue wanted to gather information, she would either use coercion or force; this time, however, she simply trapped the person, neither torturing nor forcing them. She couldn't help but ask:
"Sister, you kept him around just to find out the whereabouts of the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment? Why not just force him to tell us?" Yaoyue's expression turned serious as she said to Lianxing:
"Lianxing, that man is no ordinary person. Earlier at the inn, when I tried to throw him against the wall, I almost lost control. I have a feeling he could escape from my grasp at any moment." Lianxing was startled and quickly said:
"How could that be? I examined his meridians and found them blocked; he clearly cannot practice martial arts. Could your perception be wrong, sister?" "No. At our level, perception rarely goes wrong. Just keep an eye on him; he's going to the Great Sui anyway." "Mm."
Half a month later, at sea, on the Song family's large ship.
Su Qingfeng vomited for a while by the side of the boat before finally collapsing weakly. They had been on this ship for three or four days, and Su Qingfeng had been feeling seasick and vomiting for several days. If it weren't for the bad weather, they might have already arrived in the Great Sui Dynasty.
"Brother Su, have some water to rinse your mouth."
Hua Wuque handed Su Qingfeng a cup of water, watching him vomit incessantly after boarding the ship. It was the fourth day, and Su Qingfeng was still vomiting. Hua Wuque couldn't help but wonder: Was he going to vomit all the way to the Great Sui Dynasty? Su Qingfeng weakly thanked him.
Su Qingfeng himself was also frustrated. He was originally from the north and couldn't even swim. He never expected that taking a boat trip would be so miserable; it almost killed him.
"A ship has run aground! A ship has run aground!"
