Chapter 69 Anyway, I won't let go.
On the way to obtain the antidote herb, the three senior brothers remained wary of Lu Yuanchangming.
“Brother,” Qiu Langyu said to Lu Yuanchangming, “thank you for your help along the way. But we still hope you can explain your background.”
Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and said frankly, "Distinguished guests, I know you have some doubts about me. But please believe me, I have no ill intentions. I was once a wandering swordsman, and after seeing Miss Qiu, I fell in love at first sight. Helping her is something I do willingly."
Upon hearing this, the three senior brothers immediately turned hostile. Qiu Langyu said, "Brother Lu, don't talk nonsense. Do you know that our junior sister is the darling of our Passion Valley? All three of us senior brothers are eager to marry her. Master has also promised that as long as our junior sister agrees to marry one of us, the wedding will be held immediately."
Qiu Wentian said, "Junior Sister is our childhood sweetheart, we know her best. You've only known her for a few days, how dare you try to steal Junior Sister from us?"
Qiu Wenfeng became even more anxious and said, "You brat, you should ask my junior sister if she likes it or not. If she doesn't like it, no one can force her. If you dare to do anything out of line, we won't allow it."
Lu Yuanchangming laughed and said, "A beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. We are all men, and it is everyone's right to like someone. But it is also her right to like whomever she likes. Anyway, I will not let go."
Qiu Langyu said angrily, "You brat, you have some nerve!"
Qiu Wentian said, "You're incredibly audacious. Let's see how I deal with you."
Qiu Wenfeng was even angrier: "Are you crazy? You dare to steal my junior sister from me? I'll fight anyone who dares to do this!"
"Haha," Lu Yuanchangming laughed, "I don't actually like joining in the fun, but for Miss Qiu's sake, I will definitely compete with you for it."
The four of them rode back, half-jokingly and half-seriously, and before they knew it, they had become acquainted.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuanchangming handed the antidote herb to Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue made another request to him: "Brother Lu, could you help me deliver the antidote herbs to Qi Yuxuan? I believe he really needs them right now."
Looking at Qiu Ziyue's determined eyes, Lu Yuanchangming nodded: "Okay, Miss Qiu, I will help you deliver the food to Qi Yuxuan. But are you sure it's worth it?"
“I’m sure,” Qiu Ziyue said firmly. “Maybe one day I will suddenly disappear, and I don’t want to leave with many regrets. I want to leave cleanly.”
Lu Yuanchangming asked in confusion, "Miss Qiu, what are you talking about? How could you suddenly disappear?"
Qiu Ziyue said, "Maybe one day you will understand."
As night deepened, Lu Yuanchangming arrived at Qi Yuxuan's residence, where everything seemed exceptionally quiet.
Lu Yuan Changming gently knocked on the door, and after a moment, the door slowly opened, revealing Qi Yuxuan's slightly tired but still gentle smile.
"Changming, you've arrived." Qi Yuxuan's voice carried a hint of joy.
Lu Yuanchangming nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, I came to see how you are doing."
Qi Yuxuan stepped out and invited Lu Yuanchangming, saying, "Let's go to the study for a while."
The five handsome men were renowned in the martial arts world. Perhaps because they were all upright gentlemen, they quickly became acquainted and called each other brothers within the past two years.
They were used to meeting privately without knocking on the courtyard gate; they could simply leap over rooftops and walls to meet. So, Qi Yuxuan wasn't surprised by Lu Yuanchangming's arrival.
Qi Yuxuan often visits Qi Yushuang and then rests in the study at night.
The two entered the study, which was simply yet elegantly furnished.
A mahogany desk occupies a corner of the room, covered with books and writing implements.
Several landscape paintings hung on the wall, adding a touch of literati atmosphere to the whole room.
Two comfortable chairs were placed next to the desk, and a warm oil lamp illuminated the entire room.
Qi Yuxuan invited Lu Yuanchangming to sit down, and then sat opposite him, asking softly, "I haven't heard from you for a long time. What have you been busy with?"
Lu Yuanchangming sighed and nodded, saying, "I haven't been busy with anything, just wandering around like a carefree hermit."
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "Changming, you are a rare talent. Your martial arts and wisdom are outstanding among the five of us. Even though you come and go without a trace, we often talk about you. Seeing that you are doing well makes us feel at peace."
Lu Yuanchangming nodded, then asked, "And what about you? Miss Qi was poisoned and injured, how is she now?"
Qi Yuxuan's eyes softened, and his tone carried a hint of concern: "Her condition has stabilized somewhat, but we still need to find an antidote. I've been by her side during this time, trying my best to put her at ease."
Lu Yuanchangming nodded understandingly: "That's good. You should also take care of yourself and not overwork yourself."
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Changming. I will take good care of myself. By the way, how is Miss Qiu's injury?"
Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, her injuries are slowly improving. She has been resting quietly during this time, and her condition has stabilized."
Qi Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good. I didn't mean it that day, but the situation in the martial arts world is still unresolved, and I'm quite confused right now."
Lu Yuanchang said, "If Qi Shaogu just wants to see Miss Qiu, he can go see her openly and honestly. There's no need to follow her and sneak a peek."
"How did you know? I went to see that female demon," Qi Yuxuan said.
“Young Master Qi, my Luming Tower has a troop of Arrow Rain soldiers hidden within it. I previously instructed them not to stop you if you came,” Lu Yuan said.
"Changming, you are truly a hidden master. I have no idea what your true strength is, but if we really fight, I, Qi, would like to see the power of your Arrow Rain Army," said Qi Yuxuan.
"Just saying, don't take it too seriously," Lu Yuanchangming said with a smile. Then he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Qi Yuxuan: "By the way, these are antidote herbs. Quickly give this to Miss Qi to take. It can relieve the pain."
Qi Yuxuan took the cloth bag, gently opened it, and found a bag of fresh herbs inside. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and a grateful smile appeared on his face.
"Changming, you're so thoughtful, thank you."
Lu Yuan said, "No need to thank me. It was given to me by someone you stabbed. She wanted to find this herb last time, but you intercepted her and stabbed her."
"What, did she give it to me?" Qi Yuxuan thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, I will definitely cherish this sentiment."
Lu Yuanchangming smiled and nodded: "By the way, these were planted by an old woman named Cigu herself. I hope Miss Qi can enjoy them."
The two continued their conversation.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of tea, and everyone felt exceptionally relaxed.
