Chapter 1396 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Let's go back and not cause any more trouble. Taking those weapons back is the most important thing," Chao Xianxue said. "If anything happens to these weapons because of this, you won't be able to explain it to your master."
The person who had made the suggestion earlier also became serious after hearing Chao Xianxue's words. Yes, compared to the Shen siblings, these weapons were more of a concern for the Palace Master, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
"Understood, young master."
Chao Xianxue also had her own considerations. People in the martial arts world all have their own trump cards. Now that her goal had been achieved, doing anything further, pushing them too far, or causing unforeseen circumstances, would be a greater loss than gain. Furthermore, other unforeseen situations could arise along the way. Since she had taken the items, she should return as soon as possible.
Chao Xianxue suddenly glanced at a certain spot. Azhen, who was being looked at by those eyes, remained calm and stood on the tree branch, staring back at Chao Xianxue without any intention of avoiding her gaze.
Her calm demeanor clearly surprised Chao Xianxue, especially after he saw Azhen's appearance clearly.
Of course, he didn't pay much attention to it; he was just surprised for a moment, and quickly left with his people.
People from the Star and Moon Palace come and go quickly.
Those who had been drugged were completely helpless and could only watch as Chao Xianxue and the others left.
The person who instigated this incident was so angry he was about to vomit blood. After all that work, he ended up doing all the work for the Star Moon Palace. He was so angry he almost died on the spot.
Seeing that the people from Xingyue Palace really left without looking back, Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were really taken back to the Star Moon Palace, even if Chao Yue wouldn't take their lives for a while and would give them some breathing room, life would probably still be difficult, since there was quite a grudge between them.
Fortunately, the people of Xingyue Palace were more concerned about those weapons, which saved the brother and sister from disaster.
"Dad, are you alright?"
As the play drew to a close, there wasn't much left to see, so Azhen naturally couldn't wait in the shadows for their drug effects to wear off.
Azhen's words immediately drew everyone's attention, and all eyes were focused on her.
When he saw her appear, Xu Shan wasn't too surprised, after all, this wasn't the first time his girl had done something like this.
"Why did you come along?" Xu Shan pretended to be angry, but his heart was warm. His daughter was probably worried about his safety.
When Azhen came to Xu Shan, the answer was exactly what he had expected: she said, "I'm not at ease."
Xu Shan was one of the client's wishes, so she naturally had to go along to avoid any unforeseen accidents.
"Father, how are you? Will you recover on your own?" Azhen asked. She thought to herself that he should be able to, after all, the other party was a martial arts master, and as long as it wasn't an incurable poison, he would recover on his own after a while.
While the Star Moon Palace is indeed domineering and doesn't treat the people of the martial world as human beings, it's unacceptable to expect them to publicly annihilate everyone present. Firstly, the Star Moon Palace has never proclaimed itself an evil sect, nor does it take pleasure in killing. Secondly, these people don't have any deep-seated hatred towards the Star Moon Palace. Thirdly, the martial world is vast. Even if Chao Yue is currently skilled in martial arts, if she offends so many people at once and acts ruthlessly and recklessly, it could incite the hatred of the entire martial world, and might even lead to some reclusive masters emerging from seclusion to besiege the Star Moon Palace. That would truly be a loss for them.
Therefore, the people from Xingyue Palace today will only steal things and won't do anything more outrageous. Another reason is that the person who came today is Chao Xianxue. He always only achieves his primary goal, doesn't cause unnecessary trouble, and is not a bloodthirsty person.
Chao Yue's reputation isn't great, but Chao Xianxue's reputation in the martial arts world is actually quite good. Besides helping Chao Yue with his affairs, he occasionally travels the martial arts world and, as long as there's no conflict, he's even lent a helping hand to people in the martial arts world.
Some say it's a pity about Chao Xianxue; if she hadn't been in the Star Moon Palace, but in a prestigious sect, her future would have been even brighter.
A-Zhuang wanted to laugh at this, saying that was really not necessarily true.
It's not that Xingyue Palace is good, but that those prestigious sects might not necessarily make Chao Xianxue's future better.
"It will probably take some time," Xu Shan said. In fact, for a martial artist with profound internal strength, the medicine he took today was not as serious as the time he was ambushed by the masked man. When he was in danger just now, he tried to use his internal strength to break through it and found that it was feasible. However, forcibly taking the antidote would cause considerable damage to himself.
If Chao Xianxue had listened to his subordinates and wanted to take Shen Linsu and Shen Miao away, he wouldn't have cared so much and would have definitely forced his internal energy to dissipate the effects of the medicine.
Even if he harbored some resentment towards Shen Linsu, if they encountered a crisis this time, it would be because of Yi Xiaolan. He couldn't just stand by and watch the person who helped him meet with misfortune. If he did that, he would be utterly inhuman, and he would despise himself.
“I have some medicine here, left by my master. I don’t know if it will work.” A-Zhen took out a few bottles. “I’ll ask Aunt Shen. Maybe she can tell.”
Azhen, holding the medicine bottle, approached Shen Miao: "Aunt Shen, could you take a look at these medicines? Are there any that are usable?"
If Azhen can take it out, there must be something useful inside.
These are all very common antidotes from the martial arts world. It would be strange if Shen Miao, with her dual skills in medicine and poison, couldn't tell the difference.
Sure enough, Shen Miao picked up the porcelain bottles and examined them one by one. She quickly found a usable one and smiled, saying, "This is the antidote."
She poured out one pill and ate it herself. Sure enough, she recovered quickly and hurriedly made the others take the antidote as well. Finally, she returned the bottle to Azhen.
She patted Azhen's head: "We really have to thank Azhen this time. Otherwise, if we had been waiting here, we don't know if something might have gone wrong."
The martial world is fraught with danger; who can predict what will happen next? Lying here helplessly, even if no one shows up, a few wild wolves or tigers would be enough to give them a hard time.
"What about those people?" After everyone had recovered, Shen Miao glanced at the masked men still lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, she could tell that these masked men were different and definitely not from the same group.
“These are all targeting Tianwen,” Yan Rugo said. “They’re not good people. Some of them might have been involved in massacring entire families. But let’s not cause any more trouble today, lest something unexpected happens. We were able to forcefully activate our internal energy with that medicine, and they could too, though they would suffer greater damage. If we really go for a fight to the death, it’s not worth it. In my opinion, we should leave first.”
“I think so too,” Xu Shan said.
The main reason is that these mysterious organizations operate in the shadows, while they operate in the open.
Even if they aren't good people, and might even be evil, if they were to truly exterminate them, the subsequent relentless retaliation would be overwhelming. (End of Chapter)
