Chapter 3682: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (21)

Situ Xun's face carried a hint of smugness. While curling the corners of his mouth, he said, "Chong Xuefeng, you have been poisoned."

Ning Shu almost couldn't control herself from rolling her eyes. You are the one who is poisoned.

"I am not poisoned."

"This poison is colorless and odorless," Situ Xun said. "This is a poison of the demonic cult. Only I have the antidote."

"So what?" Ning Shu looked at Situ Xun. He spoke as if it were true. Ning Shu was extremely certain and positive that she hadn't been poisoned. Situ Xun was bluffing her, or more accurately, bluffing Qin Nianzhi.

"One month from now, you will die from the poison. Your entire body will rot, the pain will be unbearable, and you will look like a ghost. Only I have the antidote in my hands," Situ Xun said with a smile.

"You truly are amazing, to actually be able to precisely grasp the time the poison acts up. You are badass, you are amazing. Why is it one month from now, rather than dying from the poison acting up right now?"

"I just wanted the poison to act up a month from now. I felt like it. Clearly knowing you are poisoned, yet having to wait for the moment the poison acts up—does this feeling not feel exceptionally good? Fear, terror, helplessness.

"After the poison acts up, you will not die immediately. Every day you will also have to endure immense itching, wishing you could scratch your own skin off. You will scratch yourself until your flesh and blood are a mangled mess, exposing white bones. At this time, you still will not die, you will continue scratching."

Situ Xun's description was very disgusting, causing the martial world figures present to be unable to help but show strange expressions on their faces. Some even reprimanded the people of the demonic cult for being too malicious in creating such a poison. A gentleman could be killed, but not humiliated. Being afflicted with such a poison truly meant having no door to beg for life and no way to beg for death.

Ning Shu curled the corners of her mouth. So scary. Situ Xun was purely talking nonsense.

Qin Nianzhi's face turned pale from fright. She looked at Situ Xun with incomparable terror. "How did you become like this? How could you be so terrifying? The antidote, hand over the antidote."

Situ Xun smiled, revealing his ghastly white teeth. "I have always been this terrifying. Do not forget I am from the demonic cult. If the people of the demonic cult are not malicious, then who is malicious?

"If you come with me, I will hand over the antidote so your senior brother will not die. He will not be itching to death alive."

Situ Xun reached out his hand toward Qin Nianzhi. "Come here, and I will hand over the antidote."

Ning Shu grabbed Qin Nianzhi's wrist. "I am not poisoned. You do not need to go over. We will continue with the marriage. Do not fall for his trick. He is just here to ruin our marriage."

"Eldest Senior Brother." Qin Nianzhi looked at Ning Shu while shedding tears. "Are you really alright?"

Ning Shu nodded and said gently, "I am truly alright. Believe me."

Situ Xun bared his teeth in a grin and said indifferently, "You can try it. Try and see if the poison acts up a month from now."

"If you do not want your senior brother to die an ugly death, come over here. I have the antidote here." Situ Xun took out a white porcelain bottle and shook it slightly. "The antidote is inside. As long as you come over, come to my side, your eldest senior brother will not die."

Ning Shu said directly, "Junior Sister, I am not poisoned, and I am not afraid of death. Even if I were poisoned, I still couldn't let you leave with him. He will find ways to torture you."

"But Senior Brother, but Senior Brother…" Qin Nianzhi hugged Ning Shu and wailed loudly. "I truly do not dare to gamble with your life. What if you really are poisoned? What if you really are afflicted with such a terrifying poison, what do we do? I have no way to simply watch you die."

Ning Shu's expression was indifferent. "Are you going to leave with Situ Xun?"

"I truly cannot watch you die, and this matter all started because of me. I do not want to see anyone die because of me. Especially you, Eldest Senior Brother, you are the person I cherish. I cannot watch you die like this."

"But I am not poisoned. You must believe me that I am not poisoned. If you leave with Situ Xun, your whole life will be ruined," Ning Shu said. If she left directly with Situ Xun in front of so many people, what would the martial world say about Qin Nianzhi?

Last time, Situ Xun came to snatch the bride secretly. This time, he was actually doing it with a great display of banners and drums. If Qin Nianzhi left with Situ Xun, it would sever all her paths of retreat. Situ Xun was severing all of Qin Nianzhi's paths of retreat, so from then on, Qin Nianzhi would solely belong to Situ Xun.

What a scheming boy!

Father Qin said with an ashen face, "Nianzhi, you cannot leave with Situ Xun. If you leave with him, I will pretend I never had a daughter like you."

Father Qin's words were very heavy. He was going to sever their father-daughter relationship. Qin Nianzhi stared blankly at her father. Her voice was trembling as she spoke, "Father, but Eldest Senior Brother has been poisoned."

"If your eldest senior brother says he is not poisoned, then he is not poisoned. You must believe your eldest senior brother," Father Qin said. Qin Song was also not certain if his disciple was truly poisoned, but right now Qin Nianzhi absolutely couldn't leave with Situ Xun.

Ultimately, Father Qin still favored his own daughter. Being close to family and distant from others was a very normal thing. Ning Shu's expression didn't change in the slightest.

"But Father, Eldest Senior Brother is poisoned. He is afflicted with such a malicious poison. How can I just watch Eldest Senior Brother lose his life and suffer agonizing pain?" Qin Nianzhi struggled immensely, until her whole body was trembling. She also didn't know what she should do.

If she left with Situ Xun, her father would sever their father-daughter relationship. But if she didn't leave with Situ Xun, what about her eldest senior brother's poison? Looking at the unfathomable Situ Xun, Qin Nianzhi truly couldn't make up her mind.

What should she do? What should she do?

Situ Xun curled the corners of his mouth, sneering as he said to Qin Song, "Truly an insidious and crafty person. Back then, you took advantage of my adoptive father being in seclusion to hook up with that venomous woman, letting that venomous woman marry you, and finally even poisoned my adoptive father. Now, in order to save your own daughter, you are going to sacrifice your head disciple. Tsk tsk tsk…"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Suqin and I truly loved each other." Qin Song was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned to Qin Nianzhi, then said fiercely, "You are not allowed to leave with him. I forbid it. Are you going to be an unfilial daughter?"

Qin Song frightened Qin Nianzhi like this. Her body shrank back, and she started crying incessantly, before she finally said, "Father, I cannot just watch Eldest Senior Brother die like this. I must save Eldest Senior Brother."

"Pfft…" Qin Song's face flushed red, and he directly sprayed out a mouthful of blood. His expression grew even more ashen, the look in his eyes dimmed considerably, and he looked at his own daughter with a hollow gaze.

"Father, Father…" Qin Nianzhi's tears burst forth like an unstoppable flood.

Qin Song batted away the hand Qin Nianzhi extended to support him. "Do not touch me. If you are going to leave with that demonic evildoer of the demonic cult, you will no longer be my daughter in the future."

Qin Nianzhi never expected her father's attitude to be so resolute, and so cold as well. It made Qin Nianzhi feel very wronged in her heart. No one supported her decision.

Furthermore, the father who had always doted on her was actually being so cold to her.
