Chapter 579: Chapter 579- Where Is Your Master?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The system cursed in its mind. This was called being tactful. You are now the
Empress, and the Phoenix Order has entered the cabinet. Do I dare to disobey?
“Because the host has leveled up.”
The system cursed in its heart, but it did not dare to say anything. If Su Qing knew that she had entered the pavilion, who knew how he would torture it?
“I’ve already leveled up, so it doesn t count?
Su Qing’s voice was a little cold. The system was shocked.
“Yes, but your level is not high enough.”
“Enough?”
Su Qing grabbed the system’s words and asked. The system did not know how to answer. It felt that Su Qing was digging a trap for it. It did not dare to answer and found an excuse to run away.
“About that, I have to go back to the Child Integration Realm for a meeting.”
After the system ran away, Su Qing turned back to look at the few men in black who were tied up by the guards and asked coldly,
“Who told you to come and kill me?”
No one answered. They were all busy biting the poison in their mouths to commit suicide. Su Qing went over and kicked the chin of one of the men in black and threw an antidote pill into his mouth.
This black-clothed man was in a miserable state. The poison was so painful that he wanted to die. In the end, he did not die. Surviving meant that he had to endure torture. The black-clothed man looked at his dead companion enviously. Why was he the unlucky one who was saved?
He didn’t want to answer, but he couldn’t stand Su Qing’s torture. He was in so much pain that his whole body was twitching. If he could faint from the pain, it would be fine. Unfortunately, his head was still evident after all the torture.
The heart-wrenching pain was unbearable.
“Let me ask you another question. Where is your master?”
Su Qing squatted in front of the man in black and held his chin. There was no warmth on her cold face. Her voice was cold, and her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, making people feel cold.
“I don’t know.”
The man in black was still holding on, cold sweat dripping down his face. His teeth were almost broken.
“You don’t know? Alright.”
Su Qing said and put the poison she brought back from Miaojia Mountain into his mouth. After taking the medicine, the black-clothed man felt as if ten thousand ants were biting his body or if he was thrown into hot oil and fried.
This was a torture that ordinary people could not endure.
It was not an exaggeration to say it was the eighteenth level of hell!
Su Qing stood up and looked at him coldly. In less than half a cup of tea’s time, the man in black could not stand it anymore and confessed.
” Princess Lanting sent us to kill you…”
After the man in black finished speaking, he seemed to have lost all his strength.
“Where is she?”
Su Qing raised his eyebrows. Lanting was courting death. She could have let her return to Japan, but now she changed her mind.
“Already… She’s back in Japan.”
The man in black saw the killing intent in Su Qing’s eyes. He still wanted to protect Lanting, so his eyes flickered when he answered.
“Think carefully.”
Su Qing’s face darkened. She stood up and ordered the guards,
“Watch him.”
She still had to dig up the ginseng. Since this person could persist, she would just let it hurt for a while longer!
“…Don’t go, untie me.”
Seeing that Su Qing was leaving, the man in black panicked and crawled toward Su Qing. He couldn’t stand the pain of being bitten by tens of thousands of ants. It was worse than death.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t tell me the truth.
Su Qing didn’t even turn her head.
■■I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. Then, continue to suffer. Let’s see how long you can be stubborn.
“Sister Su Qing, I’ll go with you.”
Jiang Yuyan caught up to Su Qing. She looked at her with admiration and gratitude. Sister Su Qing had saved her and Zhong Yong’s lives.
“Alright.”
Su Qing didn’t blame Jiang Yuyan when she saw her self-reproaching gaze. It was rare for her to come out, so it was normal for a little girl to have no resistance when she saw a beautiful butterfly.
If it weren’t for the two of them luring out the men in black, she wouldn’t have been able to catch them.
“Master, I was wrong.”
Zhong Yong whispered to Su Qing as he followed behind her like a child who had done something wrong.
“Do you know your mistake? Why aren’t you working?’
Su Qing turned around and looked at Zhong Yong. Seeing him lower his head and pinch his clothes, he couldn’t help but smile. However, it was only momentarily before she ordered with a cold face.
“Hey, I’m working.”
Hearing that his master wanted him to work, Zhong Yong excitedly agreed and happily ran to pick herbs. He only knew Fangfeng and Sanqi, so he didn’t dare to pick other herbs and only picked these two.
Jiang Yuyan didn’t act on her own this time. She stayed by Su Qing’s side. Su Qing brought her to find the ginseng and prepared to squat down and dig it up. “Sister Su Qing, it’s not convenient for you. Let me do it.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly stopped Su Qing. It was tough for a pregnant woman to squat down and dig up herbs.
“Alright.”
Su Qing nodded. Jiang Yuyan was meticulous and often followed her to dig up herbs. She was ultimately at ease that she wouldn’t spoil the ginseng.
Su Qing leaned against the tree as she was pregnant. The warm sunlight shone on her body, and she fell asleep after a while.
“Reporting to the Empress, that person has confessed.”
Not long after Su Qing fell asleep, the guard rushed to report.
“Let him be in pain for an hour.”
Su Qing ordered coldly without opening her eyes.
You don’t say it when I ask you to, and I don’t want to hear it when you want to.
“Yes.”
The guard had nothing but admiration and respect for his consort. He cupped his fists and promised to come back and inform her before returning to protect her.
“Bring him here.”
Su Qing was afraid that the men in black had companions, so she asked them to bring him over. The guards agreed and went to bring them over.
Soon, the man in black was brought over. The pain made him sweat like rain.
His entire body seemed to have been fished out of the water. He was especially miserable.
“Speak!”
Su Qing narrowed her eyes and regained her energy. She sat and looked at the man in black. She spoke coldly and was too lazy to say another word.
” Princess Lanting and the envoy are returning to Japan, but they will be waiting for us in Jincheng. We have a chamber of commerce there, usually used to collect intelligence. If we go from Jincheng to Haicheng, there will be a sh>p there to pick us up.”
This time, the man in black was honest. He told Su Qing everything she didn’t ask.
Su Qing raised her eyebrows when she heard the word” boat.” If she wanted to kill Lanting, she must meet the boat.
“What else is there to hide?”
Su Qing looked at the man in black and asked. The man in black hesitated for a moment before saying,
“This time, we took a person from the capital. He is a skilled craftsman from your country. Princess Lanting wants to take him back to build a more powerful fleet.”
Su Qing sat up straight and looked at the man in black.
“What’s that person’s name?”
-I don’t know. Only the envoy and Princess Lanting know that person’s name.” The man in black shook his head. They were hermits who only protected their masters and killed people under orders. They never asked questions that they shouldn’t know.
“What does he look like?”
Su Qing asked differently. She wanted to know if she knew this person.
“That person was wearing a hat and a veil so I couldn’t see his face.”
The man in black shook his head. Su Qing looked into his eyes and confirmed that he was not lying.
“You said they are waiting for you at the Chamber of Commerce in Jincheng.” Su Qing threw a branch at the man in black and looked in Jincheng’s direction. She had to get the man who was taken away by Lanting back..
