Chapter 951: Spectral Flower II“These Spectral Flowers had absorbed the spiritual qi from the old master"s dantian. Hence, his strength has depleted over time.” Feng Ruqing reached out to pluck a Spectral Flower.
“Why did these flowers not affect us?” Mu Qingyin asked after staying silent for a while.
“It"s because these Spectral Flowers fall asleep during the daytime. They would only wake up at night. Did Chen Qingyan prohibit anyone from visiting the old master at night?”
“She claims that the old master is in bad health. Hence, she does not allow anyone to visit him at night. She has even tasked some guards to guard the old master"s chamber.” Mu Qingyin"s face grew even darker.
“These flowers are planted at the door of the old master"s chamber. Naturally, they are absorbing spiritual qi from the old master. They are now full after having taken in the old master"s spiritual qi and need some time for digestion. That is why you all are still safe and sound.” Feng Ruqing sneered.
The Spectral Flowers needed time for digestion. It was just like humans who stop eating when they had had enough food.
“Chen Qingyan"s mother had killed my mother. Now, Chen Qingyan wants to harm my father, too! It is no wonder that my father"s health has been declining day after day. He has moved to my courtyard as Chen Qingyan kept pestering him and he could not stand her.” Hearing this, Mu Qingyin exploded with fury.
“Ever since my father has moved into my courtyard, his health has greatly improved. However, we have never thought about this. We only thought that his health improved as he has gotten rid of Chen Qingyan.”
It was a pity that Mu Qingyin"s brother—Mu Ling had always thought that Chen Qingyan was innocent, just a harmless little bunny, and loved her with all his heart. He cared for her so much that he was so afraid that he would hurt her.
On the contrary, Suyi had treated Mu Ling so well, but he mercilessly left her.
“No matter what, neither Thousand Vines Orchid nor Spectral Flower should exist in this realm.” Feng Ruqing"s eyes were icy cold.
The Spectral Flowers were extremely dreadful. Back then, these Spectral Flowers had nearly wiped out the whole empire.
Qian Kun and Hai Rong had no idea about the Spectral Flower. Naturally, they knew nothing about it. They could feel the spiritual qi of the Spectral Flower as the flower had absorbed so much of the old master"s spiritual qi. The spiritual qi had concealed the dreadful aura of the flower.
“Xiao Qing, since Grandmaster Qian Kun has taken one stalk of the Spectral Flower away with him, would he…”
“How did he do it?”
“He has put it into a spirit herb box.”
“That should be fine. The Spectral Flower can never live without soil. Grandmaster Qian Kun should be alright. Otherwise, he would have already noticed that there was something wrong with the Spectral Flower.” Feng Ruqing shook her head.
Since Grandmaster Qian Kun"s strength was not affected, he had only studied the Spectral Flower and did not sow it in the soil.
Fortunately, Grandmaster Qian Kun was the only one who had plucked these flowers and not any lady out there.
The Spectral Flower was extremely stunning, like a blood-red rose. Many ladies out there who could not resist the temptation would have plucked the flower and sowed it in their gardens.
Mu Qingyin heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want anyone to get hurt because of the old master.
Thinking of the things that Chen Qingyan had done, Mu Qingyin"s eyes turned colder. A glimmer of vicious light sparkled in his eyes.
“I must let my brother know about this!”
“You can do so, but I am sure that he will not trust you.” Feng Ruqing smiled, blandly.
“I will get him to come here at night. He will know what has actually happened when his strength depletes.” Mu Qingyin"s face darkened.
