Upon hearing Dugu Nian saying that it was a poisonous pill, Fang Lin immediately changed his face, glaring at her in anger.

Dugu Nian was taken aback by Fang Lin’s fierce look, a sight she had never seen before, even when Fang Lin used to beat her up, he had never expressed such anger.

“I-I was just saying things randomly,” Dugu Nian replied weakly, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Fang Lin gave her a cold glance, put five Blood Evil Pills into the bottle, carefully placed it into the Nine Palace Bag, and turned to enter the room.

Dugu Nian did not understand why Fang Lin suddenly became so angry, she hadn’t said anything weird, his anger had seemed to come out of nowhere.

It was no wonder Fang Lin was so angry. He despised Poison Pill Masters deeply, and when Dugu Nian said that the Blood Evil Pills he refined were poisonous, Fang Lin naturally got angry.

Luckily, Fang Lin was not a child, despite being somewhat upset with Dugu Nian’s careless words, his anger soon subsided.

“Master, your disciple is here to apologize.” Outside the house, Dugu Nian’s voice rang out.

Fang Lin snorted, “Come in.”

Dugu Nian carefully opened the door and peered inside, seeing Fang Lin’s stern face, she felt a bit uneasy.

“Master, I was just talking nonsense earlier, there were no other implications, Master, as one with a generous nature, please let it slide.” Dugu Nian said somewhat awkwardly.

Fang Lin stood up and looked at Dugu Nian up and down, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze.

“Ma-Master, even though I am beautiful, you can’t have any intentions towards me,” said Dugu Nian abruptly.

Fang Lin with a surprised expression: “Are you mad? I don’t have any intentions towards you, a bratty girl like you.”

Seeing that Fang Lin was no longer angry, Dugu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, but then grew upset at Fang Lin’s words.

Dugu Nian puffed out her chest, and indignantly said, “What’s wrong with me?

Am I not pretty? Do you know how many people in Xuan Country yearn for me? There’s something wrong with your eyes.”

Dugu Nian was true to her name, acting wildly one moment and pitifully sweet the next.

Fang Lin glanced at Dugu Nian disdainfully: “Stop blowing your own trumpet, who would be interested in a bratty girl like you? Only someone with bad taste would.”

Dugu Nian was furious at Fang Lin. Wasn’t I beautiful and youthful? Wasn’t I of noble birth? With my looks and family status, there are endless suitors for me. How could you belittle me thusly?

“Fang Lin, answer me honestly, having been together with you for so long, have you ever had feelings for me?” asked Dugu Nian, her face sour.

Upon hearing this question, a series of expressions crossed Fang Lin’s face. Did this Dugu Nian have a screw loose? What kind of question was she not afraid to ask?

Please remember that you’re still a young girl, can’t you act a bit more ladylike? With you asking me like this, how am I supposed to reply?

Seeing that Fang Lin remained silent, only revealing a ghostly expression, Dugu Nian grew more upset.

“Speak up! And don’t lie to me!” Dugu Nian shouted.

Fang Lin was sweating from all the stress. As a dignified Pill Sovereign, he was actually driven to such desperation by a naive question from this girl.

“Er, your question indeed doesn’t lend itself to an easy answer. Let’s put it this way, I’ve always seen you as a man, understand?” said Fang Lin, his face turned red from straining himself to answer.

Dugu Nian froze. Then she rushed towards Fang Lin, ready to fight.

Fang Lin sighed, kicked her out of the room.

“That’s enough, have a few peaceful days without causing havoc, or do you want me to discipline you again? Keep it under control,” said Fang Lin irritably.

The day after the incident at Purple Moon Hillock, a small family in Qian Country was attacked and suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, the royal family of Daqian had fully understood the background of Feng Qianqiu. He turned out to be a fugitive from the Upper Three Countries.

The Nine Countries are divided into the Upper Three Countries, Middle Three Kingdoms, and Lower Three Kingdoms.

Qian Country and Meng Kingdom both belonged to the Lower Three Kingdoms, which are comparatively less powerful nations.

The Upper Three Countries, however, are the most powerful nations. Qian Country, one of the Lower Three Kingdoms, simply cannot compare.No tags for this snippet

Feng Qianqiu originated from the Upper Three countries. He allegedly committed some major crimes in the Yuan Country, one of the Upper Three Countries, killing hundreds of Yuan Country’s experts, and is now a fugitive wanted by the collective Upper Three Countries.

Somehow, Feng Qianqiu had escaped to Meng Kingdom, and further broke into Qian Country from the Purple Moon Hillock.

At this time, Feng Qianqiu was still hiding within Qian Country, posing the biggest threat to the nation.

The royal family of Daqian, immediately sought help from the Purple Mist Sect and the Li Family. After all, Feng Qianqiu was a powerful figure who had escaped from the encirclement of the Upper Three Countries, and it was feared that the Royal Family of Daqian alone may not be able to take him down.

The Purple Mist Sect Master, Han Luoyun, the Head of Li Family, Li Zhendong, and the Emperor of Daqian met again for discussions.

Although Li Zhendong was hesitant to meet the Emperor of Daqian and Han Luoyun, the matter concerning Feng Qianqiu could not be taken lightly. The Li family also resided within Qian Country and inevitably, had potential to be harmed by Feng Qianqiu.

Therefore, Li Zhendong had no choice but to hold his nose and sit together with Han Luoyun and the Emperor of Daqian.

Each of the three men held different opinions on the issue of Feng Qianqiu, making the discussion process difficult.

The Emperor of Daqian believed that they should combine the power of all three families to capture Feng Qianqiu as soon as possible, to prevent him from causing more harm.

On the other hand, Li Zhendong believed that although Feng Qianqiu was vicious and ruthless, he was unlikely to dare to provoke their three powers. Hence, it was sufficient to just keep vigilant.

However, Han Luoyun held the most unique view, believing that they did not know enough about Feng Qianqiu to judge him entirely based on a wanted warrant.

Essentially, Han Luoyun thought it was possible to deal with Feng Qianqiu, but they first needed to find out the situation – whether Feng Qianqiu was here to cause trouble or had other motives.

In fact, besides the Emperor of Daqian, the other two held some self-preservation ideas.

The situation for the royal family of Daqian was different. If they cannot handle Feng Qianqiu, Yuan Country might apply pressure.

Eventually, it was the Emperor of Daqian who was more adamant, deciding to take down Feng Qianqiu as soon as possible. Li Zhendong and Han Luoyun maintained their opinions but chose to cooperate with the royal family of Daqian.

After the three of them agreed on a plan, they began a large-scale manhunt in Qian Country. Meanwhile, they all sent people to search the areas where Feng Qianqiu usually frequented.

Feng Qianqiu’s infamous reputation quickly spread throughout Qian Country.

Smaller families and sects were fearful of becoming Feng Qianqiu’s next target.

As for the three major powers, they were relatively calm. After all, regardless of Feng Qianqiu’s notoriety and strength, he was only one person. Any sane person would not think of provoking the three major powers in Qian Country. However, it appeared that Feng Qianqiu was not such a normal person..
