Chapter 595: Chapter 265: Purging Traitors, Untying Knots, and Using New Abilities

Upon hearing this.

Brother Qiang immediately perked up:

"What method?"

Gulp.

Qiuya nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

With a tap on the storage bag, a flash of Dawn Light, and suddenly a delicate pill bottle appeared, the pill bottle was transparent, displaying the brown powder inside:

"Brother Qiang, this is the Five Flavor Powder. When you enter the kitchen later, add a bit to your siblings’ dishes. Their food will become bland and tasteless immediately. Thus, no matter how your cooking turns out, it will be elevated as a delicacy, right?"

"But today it’s not just me in the kitchen; even Third Sister and Fourth Brother are there. They are at Foundation Establishment cultivation. If I tamper with things, how could they not notice?"

Brother Qiang felt it was unfeasible.

Moreover, if things were to be revealed, he would become the target of his siblings’ wrath, and his father would likely despise him even more.

"Brother Qiang, I’m not asking you to put it in in front of them. The kitchen is very crowded right now. You wait until they’ve finished cooking, and then you go. By then, won’t you be alone in the kitchen?"

"Brother Qiang, for your siblings, it’s just a mishap of ruining the ingredients, no big deal. But for you, it’s a chance to defy fate. Once you get your father’s attention, at the very least, you won’t be chased down the mountain to mingle with a bunch of mortals, right?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qiuya watchfully eyed Brother Qiang.

Brother Qiang, however, lifted his gaze to look at her, his dark eyes like a Deep Pool, inscrutable and unreadable.

After a while.

Brother Qiang reached out and took the pill bottle:

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

"That’s the spirit!"

Qiuya’s heart raced faster.

She watched as Brother Qiang entered the kitchen.

.....

In the kitchen, after spotting that Qiuya had already left, Brother Qiang took out the Five Flavor Powder hidden in his sleeve. His eyes showed a trace of hesitation.

"Quack, quack"

His gaze fell on the Flying Cloud Duck waiting to be slaughtered in the kitchen.

...

"It’s done!!"

On the other side, Qiuya, seeing smoke rising from the kitchen, finally left satisfied.

After lurking by a waste for over a decade, serving as a slave, she had finally waited for such an opportunity.

Without looking back, Qiuya turned and left, not returning to the courtyard, heading directly toward the mountain gate.

As she journeyed down the mountain.

She imagined what chaos would ensue in the Fu family tonight, with the celebration around the corner, yet the Patriarch Fu and his children dying in their sleep.

And the culprit was Fu Changsheng’s very own son!

Just the thought brought pleasure!

The annihilation of the Ping Family’s revenge, she had finally managed to reclaim a bit of interest.

However.

This was far from enough.

As long as she was alive, the Fu family was destined never to have peace!

Qiuya looked up at the mountain gate less than ten steps away, beyond which the sky was vast, and she could fly freely.

However.

Suddenly a gust of wind surged behind her.

Before she could react, a force struck her and rendered her unconscious.

.....

When Qiuya awoke.

She found her mana had been sealed, utterly unfunctional. She looked up to see Fu Changsheng seated at the head, with Fu Yongfan to his left and Fu Yongqiang to his right.

On Fu Changsheng’s desk.

The entire bottle of Thousand Shadows Poison was intact:

"What’s going on?"

Brother Qiang was discovered when poisoning?!

This fool.

All she asked was for him to sprinkle a bit of Thousand Shadows Poison on the food, with no one guarding against it. He couldn’t even do such a small task, utterly useless.

Qiuya’s mind raced.

She immediately decided to deny that she gave Brother Qiang the Thousand Shadows Poison: "Patriarch, I’m not aware of what crime I have committed?"

Fu Changsheng did not even glance at her.

He slightly nodded to Fu Yongfan on the left, and Fu Yongfan immediately brought forward a Fire Cloud Chicken, carefully opening the Thousand Shadows Poison on the table, and poured it into the Fire Cloud Chicken.

As the Thousand Shadows Poison entered its stomach.

The once lively Fire Cloud Chicken immediately stopped struggling, fell straight down, lifeless.

Confirming once more that the so-called Five Flavor Powder was actually poison, Fu Yongqiang’s face turned white. Betrayed by the only person he trusted, even in front of his father, he couldn’t maintain his composure and stepped forward to give Qiuya two resounding slaps:

"Why did you seek to harm me!!!"

If he hadn’t noticed something was wrong and tested the poison with the Thousand Cloud Duck, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Even though he harbored resentment towards his father’s unfairness.

It was still a yearning for paternal love.

He never intended to take his father’s life.

Yet Qiuya stubbornly insisted:

"Brother Qiang, you and I have sworn before the Matchmaker to live and die together. Why would I harm you? Brother Qiang, there must be some misunderstanding here? The bottle I gave you was genuine Five Flavor Powder, with no side effects. It’s one thing if others misunderstand me, but do you not believe me either?"

Still trying to sow discord even at the brink of doom.

Fu Changsheng snorted coldly.

He wasted no more words with her.

With a sweep of his sleeve.

A Tier One Divine Inquiry Talisman shot out instantly, attaching to Qiuya’s forehead, and the tears she was shedding turned to rolling her eyes back.

Fu Changsheng spoke coldly:

"Who are you?"

"Daughter of the Ping Family Patriarch’s mistress"

"Who sent you to spy beside Brother Qiang?"

"The previous Gongsun Family Patriarch"

"And who granted you the Thousand Shadows Poison?"

"Gongsun Run"

With these words spoken.

Seated to the side, Fu Yongqiang’s face turned ghostly pale. Throughout the years, he believed Qiuya was the only one truly sincere towards him, now it seemed it was all a joke.

He was nothing more than a waste abandoned by his own parents. How could a Qi Cultivator like Qiuya ever regard him, and he had overestimated himself.
