"We have so many guests today. Please forgive us if we have not been able to entertain you properly. This toast is for you both."

"Not at all, Lady Meixi, you're too kind." Quefeng nodded slightly, then winked at Ludan behind him.

So, the latter picked up his glass and nodded in return: "Thank you for the treat!"

Logically, it should have been Meixi's turn to toast with the two of them next.

However, after that braised egg spoke, Mo Xi started acting a little strange.

Her constantly pursed lips and the irresistible urge to turn up at the corners of her mouth immediately betrayed her current mood.

There's no way around it, the sound of that braised egg is just too hilarious.

Despite his tough-guy appearance, his voice sounds like that of a castrated male duck.

If it weren't for Meixi's exceptional self-control, she probably would have burst out laughing long ago.

However, thanks to this, Meixi finally understood why this braised egg was always silent.

With his voice, he definitely has a stronger presence when he's not speaking.

"Sorry, I just suddenly thought of something funny."

Having barely managed to suppress her laughter, Moxi finally raised her glass again.

Quefeng expressed his understanding in response, saying:

"Hehe, if Lady Moxi really wants to laugh, she doesn't need to hold it in so hard. After all, we're all used to the reactions we get after Lu Dan opens his mouth."

After they finished speaking, Quefeng and Ludan clinked glasses with Meixi.

However, when they were clinking glasses, Quefeng's hand 'accidentally' slipped.

Although it was only for a brief moment, her fingers did indeed touch the skin of Moxi's hand.

"You guys are quite carefree." Meixi remembered Quefeng's actions, but she didn't expose him on the surface. Instead, she drank the wine in her glass in one gulp with great gusto.

"Then, I'll go and entertain the other guests first. Please remember to eat and drink well, and if you need anything, feel free to ask the maids. Today, please make Tushan your own home."

On the other side, Quefeng, who sensed something was amiss by touching Moxi's skin, gradually became more and more interested.

Based on her observation of the demonic energy fluctuations on Moxi's body, and the feedback from that brief touch, Quefeng was almost certain that Moxi was injured, and quite badly so!

In her opinion, Moxi's injuries were most likely sustained in the battle on Iris Mountain.

After all, in that battle, their Heavenly Mystery Pavilion had also dispatched Yu Long, a powerful expert at the Great Ascension Realm. Although Yu Long ultimately met a tragic end, it now seems that he still severely injured Mo Xi before his death.

Moreover, this explains why Mo happy suddenly announced her abdication and rushed to put a new empress on the throne.

All of this was because she was seriously injured and had no time to attend to political affairs, so she had to make a compromise!

Thus, after a series of different thoughts and plans emerged, Quefeng, who believed he had the upper hand in negotiations, finally chose to take the initiative!

"Wait a minute, Lady Moxi!"

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

She turned back to her body with a natural expression, but in her heart, Moxi was already overjoyed.

Because her fish finally took the bait.

"Lady Moxi, to be honest, although I am not very talented, I do have my own insights into medicine." After snapping his fingers and easily setting up a soundproof barrier that only affected himself, Lu Dan, and Moxi, Quefeng continued with great confidence:

"I observe that your demonic power is weak, Lady Moxi, and there seems to be a sign that your demonic power is being obstructed. If Lady Moxi doesn't mind, how about I examine your lineage?"

"interesting

"You actually managed to see through my weak demonic power just by looking at me?"

"Hehe, that's just because I've been extremely sensitive to fluctuations in demonic or spiritual power since I was a child. It's not really an extraordinary skill."

"Fellow Daoist Quefeng, you are too modest."

With an appreciative look on her face, Mo Xi extended her right hand towards Que Feng. Since the other party had offered to take her pulse, Mo Xi naturally wouldn't refuse.

Don't forget, in order to find out what the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was up to, Mo happy had already had Chen Yuze tamper with her body beforehand.

Moreover, given Chen Yuze's medical skills, Mo happy has absolutely no need to worry about Que Feng discovering that all of her physical "conditions" are artificially created.

"Then, I'll make a fool of myself."

After taking a deep breath, Quefeng extended his arm and gently placed it on Moxi's pulse at the cunkou point.

Just as she had predicted, Moxi was indeed seriously injured.

Moreover, it is more serious than Quefeng imagined.

Although Moxi appeared to be perfectly comfortable on the surface, this was merely a pretense she was putting on for today's coronation ceremony.

Her body was already at its last gasp!

"Fellow Daoist Quefeng, what are the results of the pulse diagnosis?"

"Excuse my bluntness, Lady Moxi."

With a sorrowful expression, Quefeng sighed heavily before stating her conclusion: "Lady Moxi, your injuries are far too severe. To put it bluntly, it's almost beyond saving. Although your already formidable demonic power can indeed sustain you for a while longer, as your demonic power is continuously depleted, your cultivation will weaken further. At most, you won't be able to hold on for another thirty years."

It has to be said, Que Feng is indeed a ruthless person. Putting aside her actual medical skills, her acting skills alone are already terrifying.

Of course, Quefeng isn't the only one who can act.

"..."

She remained silent for a long time. Only when her gaze met Quefeng's again did Moxi say, as if resigned, "Your diagnosis is absolutely correct."

In response, Quefeng raised the corners of his mouth from an angle that Moxi couldn't see.

Originally, her purpose in making this trip to Tushan was simply to check on Moxi's condition.

But now, she has a new idea.

In Quefeng's view, the easiest people to manipulate are neither the greedy nor the foolish. Rather, they are those who know their death is imminent but refuse to give up hope and cling to life!

For example, Meixi in front of us is a good example.

If we can take this opportunity to turn Moxi into a pawn in our hands, it will definitely further advance the Tianji Tower's plan!

While Quefeng was making his plans, Moxi was also preparing to close the net.

"Fellow Daoist Quefeng, I know my physical condition better than anyone else. However, please do not disclose it to the public. And please do not sell my physical condition as a commodity for your Tianji Tower, okay?"

"Of course, I was just examining Lady Moxi as a doctor." He continued, following Moxi's words.

But then, Quefeng offered a temptation that she believed Moxi would absolutely not be able to resist:

"Lady Moxi, actually, your injury is not entirely hopeless."

"Hmm?" Her eyes lit up, and Mo Xi's eyes immediately regained their sparkle: "Fellow Daoist Quefeng, is this true?"

"I guarantee with my life that it's absolutely genuine." As he said this, Quefeng also took out a piece of sheepskin with some kind of mysterious cultivation technique written on it from her storage ring:

"Lady Moxi, the technique on this sheepskin can save your life. Moreover, if you cultivate it to the highest level, a full recovery will not be difficult at all."

"Such a profound and mysterious technique exists in this world?!"

"Of course." Seeing that Meixi had already taken an interest in the technique, Quefeng quickly pressed on while the iron was hot: "However, this technique can only be practiced after consuming fresh human liver and heart. Moreover, it must be the liver and heart of a human cultivator; the organs of demonic beasts will not work."

"To devour human livers and hearts?" With a frown, Mo Xi immediately expressed utter disdain: "Isn't that an evil technique? I won't practice it!"

"Lady Moxi, you are mistaken!"

As if he had already anticipated Moxi's reaction, Quefeng immediately continued his deception: "Lady Moxi, you should know better than me. So-called cultivation techniques have no distinction between good and evil. Whether a cultivation technique is good or evil ultimately depends on what the master of the technique will do with it, right?"

"Then how do you expect me to collect human hearts and livers?"

"I have a way." Seeing that Moxi had taken the bait, Quefeng's breathing became slightly more rapid:

"Human organs should naturally be sought on human territory. Moreover, for the sake of justice, we cannot indiscriminately kill the innocent."

"You mean, you want me to go and kill those evil and wicked people?"

"As expected of Lady Moxi, you understand so quickly!" With a sharp look in her eyes, Quefeng immediately took out a map of the Central Plains:

"Lady Moxi, are you familiar with the Qionghua Immortal Sect?"

"Qionghua Immortal Sect?" Isn't that Qianya's home?

Not quite understanding why Quefeng would suddenly bring up Qionghua Immortal Sect at this critical juncture, Moxi decided to continue playing her part: "I've heard a little about it."

"Hehe, the Qionghua Immortal Sect is one of the top forces in the Central Plains. Its sect leader's beloved daughter possesses the potential to become a Great Emperor, a talent rarely seen in a thousand years. She is not only the leader among the younger generation of cultivators in the entire Central Plains, but was also designated as the next sect leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect long ago. It's just a pity that the heavens are jealous of talent. Half a year ago, this sect leader's daughter was kidnapped by a lecherous scoundrel named Cheng Wanli, and there has been no news of her since. I'm afraid she is already in grave danger."

"And Lu Haoran, the leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect, also underwent a drastic change in personality due to the loss of his beloved daughter!"

"Later, in order to prevent his deceased daughter from passing on the position of successor to the sect leader to someone else, he took advantage of his power and began to persecute the disciples of other elders in countless ways."

"The cruelty of their methods is simply outrageous!"

"And Lu Haoran's wife, Zhou Zhixuan, is no pushover either. To consolidate her power, this woman even had an affair with an elder!"

"Fortunately, there are indeed righteous people within the Qionghua Immortal Sect. In order to stop Lu Haoran and Zhou Zhixuan's shameless behavior, Lu Haoran's junior brother, Wang Defa, has already gathered a great force and is ready to put righteousness before family."

"I believe that even if you, Lady Moxi, were to take the hearts and livers of such heinous villains as Lu Haoran and Zhou Zhixuan, no one would say a word. They would even applaud your righteous act!"

"If you, Lady Moxi, are interested in this matter, I can also help you contact Elder Wang Defa."

"???"

Damn it, if I hadn't heard Qianya talk about the Qionghua Immortal Sect, I almost would have believed your lies, you wicked woman!

Unexpectedly, Quefeng could so easily distort the truth. Moxi cursed her in her heart.

However, this show still has to keep going.

"Let me think about it some more." Instead of rushing to give Quefeng an answer, Moxi deliberately put on an extremely conflicted expression.

In response, Quefeng removed the soundproof barrier and stuffed the sheepskin scroll in his hand into Moxi's hands: "Ludan and I will stay in Tushan for a while longer. If Lady Moxi makes up her mind, she can come to find us at any time."

321. Good kidneys, very good!

That evening, after returning to the Empress's palace, Moxi slowly recounted her conversation with Quefeng to Chen Yuze and her close friends.

Among all the girls, the one with the strongest reaction was naturally Qianya.

As the daughter of the Qionghua Immortal Sect's leader, upon hearing that her own parents had been slandered and defamed in this way, Lu Qianya naturally spoke up to defend them immediately.

She doesn't care what other people think.

However, we must not let Senior Brother Yuze be misled by these messy rumors!
