She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

With that thought in mind, Murong Fu no longer hesitated and brought the water bag to his lips, taking a big gulp of jam.

Strangely enough, after drinking the jam, the uncontrollable cough seemed to subside considerably. Murong Fu looked at the water bag in front of his eyes, then leaned closer and took a sip.

Mu Rongyi came in carrying a water bottle and saw this scene. As soon as he saw the water bag, he knew it wasn't his own. He hurriedly put down the water bottle and tried to grab the water bag.

Murong Fu was caught off guard, and he managed to snatch it away.

"Uncle-Master, why do you drink all sorts of things? Don't you know your body can't take this kind of strain?" Mu Rongyi angrily threw the water bag on the ground and shouted loudly.

The water bag he threw landed hard at Lian Chengmo's feet, spilling half of the jam all over the floor. The sweet aroma of the jam instantly masked the medicinal smell that filled the room.

Lian Chengmo's expression turned sour. He bent down, picked up the water bag, patted off the non-existent dust, stuffed the cork back into place, and hung it back on his waist.

"The Murong family is truly well-mannered. In that case, I'll take my leave." Lian Chengmo was somewhat angry, and with a stern face, he turned to leave.

However, he had only taken one step when a soft sword grazed his nose and pierced the door next to him.

"Young Master Liancheng, don't be angry. I apologize to you on behalf of my son, Xiao Yizi. Didn't you have something to discuss with me? Let's sit down and talk slowly." Murong Fu pressed Mu Rongyi down with one hand, stood up with a smile, and walked towards Liancheng Mo.

His actions stunned Mu Rongyi. Wasn't her uncle just about to be poisoned again by the stimulation? How come he recovered so quickly?

Mu Rongyi hesitated, glancing at her martial uncle and then at Lian Chengmo. Smelling the sweet aroma of jam filling the room, she belatedly realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the jam.

That's true, his uncle's medical skills are far superior to his, how could he possibly eat random things? He's just worried and making a mistake.

Lian Chengmo glanced at the soft sword whose hilt was still trembling, silently turned around and accepted Murong Fu's invitation, sitting down at the table.

"Xiao Yizi, quickly pour tea for Young Master Liancheng, otherwise it will make our Murong family seem ill-mannered." Murong Fu also sat down, chuckled, and said to Mu Rongyi.

Lian Chengmo's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that Murong Fu was hinting at him, but he didn't care and let Murong Rongyi reluctantly pour him a glass of water.

However, Lian Chengmo simply stared at the glass of water without drinking it, and instead took the initiative to speak first.

"Senior, I have only one request for you. Give half of this valley to my people to live in, and I will tell you where Murong Qing is."

Although his voice was calm, his tone placed himself in a humble position, after all, he needed someone's help and couldn't be too blunt.

"How do you know that knowing Murong Qing's whereabouts is enough to make me agree to your demands?" Murong Fu also stopped smiling and sneered.

He didn't show it on his face, but no one knew better than himself that he wished he could tear Murong Qing to pieces, so how could he not care about Murong Qing's whereabouts?

"Given that Murong Qing wiped out the entire Divine Doctor Valley, I suppose you, senior, are eager to clean house." Lian Chengmo remained calm, but his words were astonishing.

Sure enough, the expressions on the faces of the two men in front of him changed as soon as he said that.

"How did you know?" Mu Rongyi stood up first, staring straight at Lian Chengmo and questioning him sharply.

Although Murong Fu sat to the side without saying a word, his gaze toward Lian Chengmo was full of scrutiny, clearly indicating that he was also puzzled by this question.

It is said in the martial arts world that Murong Fu betrayed his master and ancestors, and in order to create an elixir of immortality, he cruelly used the entire population of the Divine Doctor Valley as test subjects.

This even included his adoptive master, as well as his brothers, sisters, and elders.

The news that Murong Fu had ungratefully destroyed the entire Divine Doctor Valley spread throughout the martial arts world for some unknown reason, and those who had once received kindness from the Divine Doctor Valley, as well as some righteous people, came to hunt him down.

Upon meeting him, they didn't even ask any questions, but went straight for his life. For so many years, Murong Fu and Mu Rongyi had barely escaped the pursuit from four directions, and had fled into the Ten Thousand Mountains to find this place where spring lasts all year round, where they had been living a life of hiding and eking out a living.

He was determined to one day cure the poison in his body so that he could seek revenge on Murong Qing for the massacre of his family.

Yes, the one who truly wiped out the entire Divine Doctor Valley was actually another disciple adopted by the Valley Master, Murong Qing.

Murong Qing was a beggar who wandered with Murong Fu. They met the master of the Divine Doctor Valley and were taken in as his disciples. However, she harbored ulterior motives and used everyone's trust in her to wipe out the entire Divine Doctor Valley.

Murong Fu was originally going to die, but his master used the Divine Doctor Valley's most precious treasure to save him and Mu Rongyi, just so that he could escape with the only bloodline of the Divine Doctor Valley and survive.

But when he recovered from his injuries and came out again, people all over the martial arts world were hunting him down, and he ridiculously became the murderer who destroyed his own sect.

The real culprit, Murong Qing, is nowhere to be found, escaping justice.

The reason why no one believed him was because this junior sister identified him as the murderer in front of everyone, and then "died of poisoning" in full view of everyone.

But Murong Fu was also well aware that there was another reason why Murong Qing was able to frame him so successfully: she lied that she had developed an elixir of immortality.

Who in this world doesn't want to live forever?

But then again, looking at this kid who claimed to be from the Liancheng family, how much did Murong Fu actually know?

"You two don't need to delve into how I know this. In short, I know that the Divine Doctor Valley was wiped out by Murong Qing, and I also know that the elixir of immortality is a fabrication and there is no such elixir of immortality in this world."

“I have no ill intentions toward you two. On the contrary, I have a request for you. I would like to ask you to provide some protection for my family and the villagers of Yaoli Village.”

"In the future, if there is anything you can do to help me, I will certainly not refuse," Lian Chengmo said earnestly.

"That sounds nice, but how are we supposed to know what you're thinking or what you're after?" Mu Rongyi sneered, refusing to believe it.

Murong Fu continued to stare at Lian Chengmo without saying a word.

"If you are willing to take me in, my family and friends will all live here. It would be like handing over my weakness to you. Why would you be afraid that I have any schemes or tricks?"

"Furthermore, if the poisons from the Divine Doctor Valley wanted to kill someone, it would probably only take a moment," Lian Chengmo said calmly.

He had dealt with Mu Rongyi before and knew his character, and he had also heard about Murong Fu's character. He was willing to take this gamble.

While the master and his apprentice may seem like a threat to them, aren't they actually a form of protection?

Even if the Liancheng family finds this place one day, can they break through the poison techniques of the Divine Doctor Valley?

In this way, the safety of the little girl and her younger siblings will be guaranteed, and he will no longer have to worry when he goes out in the future.
