The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

Who is number two?

Si Xingxuan asked, his voice reaching everyone's ears.

Like ice spring water dripping into boiling water, the surrounding noise instantly quieted down.

He stood on the east side of the platform.

The cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread on the light blue silk robe flickered in the sunlight, and the tassels hung down like still raindrops.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze passing over the throng of heads and landing on the figure that was squeezing out from the crowd.

Liu Fengchun held the skewer in his hand and had just stepped out of the crowd.

Today, he deliberately chose an inconspicuous green alchemist's robe, hoping to keep a low profile and pass the Medicine God Trial safely.

Even for something as trivial as drawing lots, he only hoped to get a spot that was neither too early nor too late, so that no one would notice him.

However, things did not go as planned.

"ah??"

He stopped in his tracks, his whole body visibly stiffening.

His neck turned inch by inch toward the source of the sound, like a long-neglected wooden puppet.

"Valley Master. I drew number two."

He weakly raised the bamboo skewer in his hand, his voice trembling.

All eyes in the square turned to him, puzzled.

Si Xingxuan looked at him very seriously.

Who is this?

do not know.

His features were ordinary, his demeanor was ordinary, and his cultivation was ordinary.

An ordinary, unremarkable passerby.

But Si Xingxuan remembered him.

Before, when she was around Zhizhi, she was an eyesore.

Like a greenbottle fly that flew in from who-knows-where, it buzzed around Zhizhi.

"Okay, come here."

Si Xingxuan raised his chin slightly, his tone casual yet confident, as if he were calling a pet cat or dog.

"Let's switch."

Liu Fengchun was utterly stunned.

Is this even possible?

"exchange?"

"Um."

Si Xingxuan nodded slightly, his expression still nonchalant and lazy.

He suddenly remembered something interesting, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"In return, I've cured you of the poison."

The words fell.

Liu Fengchun felt a chill run down his spine.

I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and even my jaw started to chatter.

"Don't come any closer—!"

He roared silently in his heart.

When was he poisoned by this ancestor?

The poison of the Divine Physician Zheyue is silent, invisible, and intangible; by the time people notice it, it has already penetrated deep into their bones.

With this Valley Master in charge, Divine Medicine Valley is quite terrifying!

Who would want a good person like the Valley Master to have such a villainous demeanor?

Wait, is this definitely the Valley of Divine Medicine, and not the Valley of Villains?

He suddenly realized that he didn't necessarily have to come back to the Valley of Divine Medicine.

Or perhaps we should seek refuge at sea?

I've heard that there's a secluded kingdom called Zhiyue Sea Kingdom, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

"Change."

Si Xingxuan raised an eyebrow and casually tossed the last lot in his hand.

"Change it now."

The bamboo skewer traced a graceful parabola through the air, landing precisely on Liu Fengchun's face.

Liu Fengchun, with a mournful face, hurriedly caught it.

The bamboo skewer still held the slight coolness of the other person's fingertips, a temperature that sent another shiver down his spine.

He looked down at the number two lottery ticket in his hand, feeling like a poor little rabbit caught by the scruff of its neck by a smiling tiger, caught in a dilemma.

He handed over the lot he had drawn.

"What? You're still not happy?"

Si Xingxuan accepted the second draw.

"I'm not unhappy about it."

Liu Fengchun immediately forced out a standard smile.

That smile was perfectly timed.

The upward curve of his lips was neither overly obsequious nor stiff, but rather carried a hint of respect and ingratiation.

Their skill is so adept it's heartbreaking.

This is just the superficial skill he's honed over many years!

He wished he could swear an oath on the spot, the kind where you raise three fingers and pledge yourself to heaven.

"I'm really happy to be able to play later. Really."

Liu Fengchun hurriedly stuffed the last-place slip into his pocket, as if afraid the other party would change their mind.

Although being last in the standings means enduring a long wait on the sidelines, it's better to endure it than to offend the Divine Doctor Zheyue and lose your life.

The "折" in "折月" (zhé yuè, meaning "to fold the moon") can also mean "to kill someone as easily as breaking a branch."

"No need to thank me. I was just helping a fellow disciple."

Si Xingxuan stopped looking at him, turned around, flicked her sleeve, and strode away.

As dusk fades, the kiss between day and night is a crescent moon.

His light blue robes fluttered gently in the moonlight, the tassels swaying, and his steps were composed and dignified.

"Valley Master!"

Liu Fengchun's voice came from behind, tinged with sobs and a hint of desperate courage.

"You haven't cured my poison yet."

He was truly on the verge of tears.

Where is the antidote we were promised?

What happened to the promised reward?

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how could the Valley Master go back on his word?

Si Xingxuan did not stop walking, but only turned his head slightly, revealing half of his sickly but handsome face, which was outlined by the moonlight and looked as delicate as jade.

The slight curve at the corner of his lips was a half-smile, and his eyes, clear as the sky after the rain, held a hint of mystery.

"oh."

His voice was calm and even.

"The poison on the talisman, and the poison on your body, are fighting poison with poison."

"..."

Liu Fengchun's face was a mixture of pale and ashen.

He looked down, staring intently at the last lot in his hand, as if holding a hot potato.

The divination slip was also poisonous—the recipe for the deadly poison was exactly the opposite of what he had in his body.

Fight fire with fire! ? ?

He's a real devil!

What meticulous planning, what wicked methods—and what astonishingly brilliant poison skills!

He held the bamboo skewer, his knuckles turning white.

"No, what have I done to offend this living devil?"

He muttered to himself, his voice drowned out by the cacophony of voices.

"I allow anything to happen, but please don't let it happen all the time—"

Over the years, Liu Fengchun has offended many people while being extremely cautious, and has made many mistakes out of fear and anxiety.

This time, however, he didn't even know what he had done wrong.

"Heavens above, I'm begging you to spare me, not to come at me!"

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with tears.

A cloud happened to drift by on the horizon, casting a large shadow on his face.

Si Xingxuan, however, completely ignored his miserable life.

The Divine Physician Zheyue has never been a kind person.

His medicine can save lives, or it can kill.

His smile can be as gentle as a spring breeze in March, or as cold as frost in December.

It all depends on who the other person is.

Those who dare to approach Junior Uncle are all philanderers.

They're all despicable people, they all deserve to die!!

He will be indiscriminately hostile and will spare no one.

He walked through the crowd.

The doctors on both sides stepped back, as if pushed aside by an invisible barrier, and even their breathing became extremely soft.

Someone secretly glanced up to look, then quickly lowered their gaze.

This young valley master looks frail, but he is actually a poisoned orchid.

The Q&A wall stands majestically atop the high platform.

Si Xingxuan stood before the jade disc, lightly flicked his sleeves, and stretched out his hand.

Long, slender, fair fingers rested steadily on the cool surface of the jade disc.

A sudden flash of inspiration, like ripples spreading across the lake.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils reflecting the flowing words.

With a slight twitch of her eyebrows, the corners of her lips curved upwards even more.

The inscription on the jade disc began to appear.

At the same moment, in the clouds above, Tang Xixue's hand touched the gate to the Secret Realm of Glazed Sky.

The door was completely transparent, cast from glass and crystal, with several intricate spiritual patterns engraved on the door frame, intertwined and intertwined.

The token on her body shone brightly.

Three spiritual patterns intertwined: one shone like the sun in golden light, another was as cool and clear as moonlight, and the last was as faint and subtle as starlight.

The door slowly opened in front of her, and a breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and trees rushed out from inside, ruffling her cascading black hair.

"Liuli Tian, ​​I've arrived."

She took a step forward, her alchemist robe billowing as she disappeared into the swirling light.

Inside the door lies another world.

Among the crowd below, a woman's gaze was fixed on her disappearing figure.

The woman was wearing a cloak that completely concealed her figure and face, but her overall demeanor was extremely refined and extraordinary.

"Ha, the God of Medicine..."

Then, the woman's gaze seemed to casually sweep across the viewing area on the high platform, passing over the faces of Bei Chenji and Hua Rongshi.

Beneath the cloak, long, flowing pink hair flashed by.
