Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

"Okay." The waiter responded and led them towards Zhao Honglan's room.

The room in the Five-Star Inn was very different from the room in the inn they were staying in. Lian Li just took a quick look and sat at the table waiting to listen to Zhao Honglan's story.

Since the martial arts conference ended last year, Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan have been traveling and have been to many places.

Two months ago, they came to a small village and found that everyone in the village had a sallow complexion and purple lips. Every night at midnight, it felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at their bodies, and the process would last for half an hour.

As soon as Qu Tingquan and Zhao Honglan heard it, they knew that the villagers in this village had been poisoned.

No one knows who wanted to poison the ordinary people in the village.

Although this poison does not seem to kill the villagers directly, it is not known whether it will kill the villagers in the future.

But they know well that the villagers who make a living by farming will sooner or later be unable to bear such torture day after day, and their life expectancy will be greatly reduced, which is no different from chronic death.

So they explained the situation to the villagers and asked them why they didn't see a doctor.

The villagers did not believe their statement at all. They just said that they had gone up the mountain and mistakenly entered the place where the fairy was practicing, which offended the fairy and they were punished by heaven. The fairy would cancel their punishment after three years, and they just had to offer sacrifices during these three years.

When they heard this, they knew that the villagers in this village had encountered a swindler who was pretending to be a ghost.

Moreover, the village is small and the villagers don't have much money. It's useless for them to tell others to see a doctor, but they don't have the money to do so.

Therefore, the two of them discussed it and decided to simply invite a doctor from a nearby city.

When the villagers saw that others had invited doctors and paid for the doctors' consultations, they lined up to see the doctor.

I originally thought that the matter ended here, but unexpectedly, the doctor could not see anything after examining them for a long time. He only said that apart from their complexion being different from that of ordinary people, everything was normal.

They hired one of the best doctors in the nearby city, but he couldn't find anything wrong with the patient.

Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan didn't believe it, so they let the doctor stay in the village for a month. They also invited several other doctors to see him, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

The villagers suddenly became more convinced that they had offended the fairy and were being punished by heaven, so they were unwilling to see a doctor again.

Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan had no choice. They knew that ordinary doctors probably couldn't find any problem. They might have to find someone in the martial arts world who specialized in studying strange poisons to take a look.

They both knew some people, but they couldn't call anyone over at the moment.

The villagers obviously believe in the fairy more and are prepared to increase the amount of offerings next time.

But how could the already poor villagers add anything else? So all the families with girls in the village drew lots, and two families were chosen to sell their daughters to collect money to buy things and add to the advantage.

Qu Tingquan had no idea about this. Girls who were luckier would be sold to wealthy families as maids, while those who were unlucky would be sent to work as prostitutes.

However, in such a village, most of the human traffickers that can be contacted sell people to property developers.

If you can't solve the problem, solve the people who created the problem.

The villagers also refused to reveal the exact location of the fairy, for fear that others would disturb her meditation and cause her to punish them.

Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan had no choice but to go into the mountains to find the so-called fairy lady, as it would take several days to offer sacrifices.

After two days, they finally found the fairy in the mountains.

It was a woman in strange clothes, about twenty years old, with her face covered so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

There was a big pit behind where she lived. The pit was full of dead animal bodies, many of which were domestic animals. It was obvious that they were offered as sacrifices by the villagers.

Many of the animal carcasses looked rotten, but there was no smell coming from them.

When Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan saw it, they immediately knew that this so-called fairy lady was deceiving the villagers into giving tribute and using the animal corpses to make poison.

When the fairy saw two martial artists coming here with indignation on their faces, she knew that they were nosy people.

The three of them started fighting immediately. The fairy’s martial arts skills were not bad, but she was no match for Qu Tingquan and Zhao Honglan.

After two moves, the fairy knew she was no match for the enemy, so she used many tricks and poisons, and then fled away injured.

When the two saw the fairy running away, they chased her for another day and night until they lost track of her.

However, when fighting against the fairy lady, the fairy lady's internal force was also poisonous. Although the two tried their best to guard against it, they still couldn't avoid being hit.

Fortunately, the two men had strong internal strength and knew that the fairy lady was prepared when playing with poison, so the poison did not penetrate too deeply into their bodies. They just needed to find a place to force the poison out.

Logically speaking, the two people's martial arts skills are similar, and if they were to be hit by the fairy lady, they would be hit at the same time. There should be no question of who is more deeply poisoned and who is less deeply poisoned.

Just when the two found a place to force the poison out, Qu Tingquan discovered that the poison in her body had disappeared.

She immediately went to check on Zhao Honglan and found that there was still poison in Zhao Honglan's body and she needed to use her internal energy to force the poison out.

So, Qu Tingquan protected the law, and Zhao Honglan forced out the poison.

And at this time, Qu Tingquan discovered that the poison in her body did not disappear, but was absorbed by something in her dantian and then fed back to her.

If she hadn't been very aware of her physical condition, she might not have noticed. The feedback made her internal strength increase slightly.

Naturally, she would not hide this abnormal situation from Zhao Honglan.

After Zhao Honglan finished forcing the poison out, she told Zhao Honglan about the situation.

The two of them immediately decided to go to the village to explain the situation and then immediately return to Qinghong Sword Sect to let the pharmacy take a look at what was going on.

When the two arrived at the village, they found that the drawing of lots had already ended and the human traffickers had come to take the girl away.

The two of them hurried over to stop them and told them about the situation on the mountain.

As a result, some powerful people in the village refused to listen and insisted on selling the two girls and using the money to buy things for the fairy.

The human traffickers also joined in the commotion, wanting to take the girl away.

In the end, the two men had no choice but to buy the two girls at a price higher than that of the human traffickers.

The human trafficker originally wanted to raise the price, but when he saw Qu Tingquan draw his sword, he kept silent.

Of course, the two girls who were bought could not be allowed to stay in the village. Zhao Honglan and Qu Tingquan understood clearly that regardless of whether there was the fairy lady or not, some people in the village just wanted to sell them for money.

After all, the money from selling the two girls was shared by the entire village.

If these two girls still stayed here, as soon as they left, someone would definitely find a reason to sell them off.
