Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"I do not accept."

Wang You spoke softly.

Si Huangjing smiled smugly, "Are you scared?"

After he finished saying this, the sword in his hand suddenly made a breaking sound. Si Huangjing was startled and subconsciously wanted to check it out. Unexpectedly, he watched the sword break into pieces right under his nose.

"I won't fight with a loser who can't even hold a weapon."

A "waste" that can't even hold a weapon...

Just one sentence, but it hurts people twice.

This old guy's words are becoming more and more vicious.

"Who told you to use magic?! I want to compete with you in fighting skills! Are you afraid you can't beat me if you strike first?"

"Heh. Still a fool who can't even speak complete sentences."

"you!!"

Shen Qiao rubbed his eyebrows.

She must be "old and blurry" to think that this man is steady.

But... since he is a member of the royal family, perhaps he knows something.

Since we've already broken off relations with the royal family, we might as well find an opportunity to directly explore his soul...

Her idea had just formed and she had not had time to implement it when she was interrupted by a scream.

"Grandma!"

The three looked over and saw a boy frantically trying to support a droopy old man. It seemed that the grandfather and grandson were going to leave the city.

Because they were blocking the middle of the road, many people pointed and talked while walking around them. Occasionally some people stopped to look at them, but because the two men were wearing dirty and torn clothes, no one paid any attention.

The guards at the city gate heard the noise and came over to evacuate the crowd, and drove the two men to the side. However, a kind-hearted guard helped and half-dragged and half-pulled the old man to the wall to lean against him, but after looking at the situation, he felt that he could not help, so he went back to stand guard.

Seeing the old man groaning, Si Huangjing turned his horse around and walked over to ask the guard, "What's going on?"

When the guard saw Si Huangjing asking, he obviously knew him, so he quickly knelt on one knee and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, we have seen this grandfather and grandson before. They are beggars living outside the city. They were fine when they entered the city yesterday. I don't know what happened today, but the old man seems to be...sick."

This made Si Huangjing frown. "Is he sick? How could he be sick if he's been splashing holy water all over the city these days?"

He looked over again and saw Shen Qiao squatting in front of the old man, checking him out.

Si Huangjing hesitated for a moment with a complicated expression, but eventually he dismounted and walked over. "What can you, a little girl, see?"

"I am a little girl who has killed cultivators in the Desolate Realm." Shen Qiao said without even raising her head, and stuffed a pill into the old man's mouth.

"Unfortunately, some people don't believe it."

Si Huangjing glared at Wang You and said, "I'll settle our matter with you later!"

Yes, Bai said.

Shen Qiao sighed, found two more pills and gave them to the old man's grandson. "Your grandfather was bitten by a poisonous insect, but it's not a serious problem. Keep these two pills. Take one every three hours after you return. You may feel like drinking water during this time, but ask your grandfather to hold back and wait until you have finished the pills before drinking water. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know." The boy was getting anxious, but when he heard Shen Qiao say that there was a cure, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the pill to express his gratitude.

"You just said that this was a poisonous insect bite?" Si Huangjing repeated the question doubtfully.

"Yeah." Shen Qiao stood up and looked at him. "The larvae of the poisonous insect."

Si Huangjing: "...What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Qiao took a deep breath and made way for him to see for himself.

Si Huangjing was originally a little disgusted by the smelly beggar, but thinking that Shen Qiao hadn't shown anything just now, he endured it and walked over, bent down, and used the broken hilt of the sword in his hand to lift the collar of the old beggar to check.

I saw a big, obviously red and swollen lump on the dirty neck, and the swollen area looked a bit dirty if you looked closely.

"The wound becomes hot, red, and swollen. Short-term symptoms include weakness in the limbs, general weakness, and elevated body temperature."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is the symptoms after being bitten by an ordinary Gu worm. His condition is obviously caused by being bitten by a more advanced Gu worm."

Shen Qiao looked at Si Huangjing, "From the looks of it, you're not unaware of the Gu worm situation. Now that there's an example, if you don't do anything about it, are you going to wait until the situation is completely out of control before trying to remedy it?"

Si Huangjing seemed a little shaken, but soon shook his head, "You killed Master Wen. I don't trust you."

"It's ok."

Si Huangjing was just curious about why this was said, but was suddenly grabbed by the collar by Shen Qiao and pressed against the wall.

He felt a sharp pain in his back, and stared at Shen Qiao's face, which had suddenly come much closer, for a moment he was stunned. Then his ears turned red, and he suddenly began to struggle, "You, you, you! What are you doing, a girl?!"

Looking at the guards who followed, seven or eight of them stood there motionless, as if they hadn't seen anything.

"Hey......"

He was so angry that he was about to explode, but then he heard Shen Qiao say, "I also believe what I saw more."

Wait, what do you mean?

He just shifted his gaze to Shen Qiao's face, but as soon as he looked into her eyes, he suddenly became quiet.

Shen Qiao glanced through Si Huangjing's memories and found that this man had only met Wen Xiaotong once, when Si Huangjing was a child and was beaten for not doing his homework well, but was stopped by Wen Xiaotong.

Just based on this, this person was able to single-handedly stop others and seek revenge for Wen Xiaotong.

Shen Qiao: “…”

In a way, it can be considered as repaying a favor.

As he continued to flip through the pages, Shen Qiao felt that this person was more and more interesting.

It can be said that he and his father, the emperor, were completely incompatible. After knowing about the poisonous insect, he had a big quarrel with the emperor and was almost removed from the family tree.

After that, the emperor never cared about him again and now has asked him to move out of the palace and live on his own.

But...this person actually gets along very well with the national teacher.

The two often drink and chat together.

Not right.

Shen Qiao pulled out his spiritual consciousness from his memory and raised his hand to look at his eyelids.

"It hasn't hatched yet."

Wang You saw her intention and explained it from the side.

"He was also inoculated with insect eggs, but the effect wasn't as quick as Wen Xiaotong and Si Huang Xihua's. This was probably because he didn't have a spiritual vein, so the spiritual energy was insufficient to nourish the insects in his body."

This is a case of "a fool has good fortune".

Since these are insect eggs that have not yet hatched, it will be much easier to deal with.

Shen Qiao loosened his hand, and before he slid down the wall, he put his five fingers together and hit his neck. When he instinctively opened his mouth to vomit, he quickly flicked a small black pill into his throat.

"vomit!!"

The foreign body sensation suddenly frightened Si Huangjing awake. He covered his throat with one hand and leaned against the wall with the other, bending over.

"You... Ugh! What did you feed me?!"

"Poison." Shen Qiao gave a malicious smile.

"Take us to see your Imperial Master, otherwise, you will die today."
