Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 710 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 18

Of course, she wouldn't compromise easily; she would definitely push Li Chenzhou onto the throne.

I don't want to deal with this mess myself, so he's more suitable. There's less resistance to him taking over.

Perhaps he wouldn't even have to do anything; knowing that Liu Suifeng had come to exchange for the antidote pill for him, Li Chenzhou would willingly compromise.

At first, she gave Li Chenzhou time to consider, waiting for Liu Suifeng to come to her on his own initiative.

I have to admit that seeing the usually aloof beauty with slightly reddened eyes, her eyes glistening with tears, seemingly about to fall, several times successfully piqued my interest.

Liu Suifeng returned to the Power Gang with the antidote pill. He did not go directly to see the gang leader, but instead went to find Zhao Shirong.

"Sister Shirong, this is an antidote pill. You need to give it to the gang leader."

He knew that if he gave it to the gang leader, the gang leader might not use it.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shirong looked surprised: "Suifeng, how...how did you get it?"

Seeing his silence, she continued, "You know Chen Zhou's personality. If he knew that you risked everything to get this medicine for him, he wouldn't take it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suifeng had no choice but to speak up: "Sect Leader Wen has been kind to me, and I promise to go to Qingyun Sect to serve her in the future."

The gang leader once said that he hoped he could live his own life, not bound by him, not bound by power gangs, not bound by grudges, but only bound by himself.

He didn't know what he wanted; he only hoped to cure the gang leader of poison, avenge Baicaogu, and repay Wen Piaoran's kindness.

She simply moved to a different place to live, which could be seen as a new life.

“This… Sui Feng, Chen Zhou and I don’t need you to go to this extent. This is the choice he should make.” Zhao Shirong thought he was sacrificing himself for Chen Zhou.

This was something Shen Zhou was supposed to face. Wen Piaoran gave him the antidote on the condition that he take that position.

Liu Suifeng shook his head: "Sister Shirong, I am not forcing you. Sect Master Wen gave me medicine more than ten years ago, and I am willing to repay her."

He did not voice his other hidden thoughts.

"This is how I, Suifeng, will repay the kindness of the gang leader and Sister Shirong for taking me in and for taking care of and nurturing me over the years. Please, Sister Shirong, do not refuse. I hope the gang leader will live well and no longer be restricted by anyone."

Zhao Shirong was somewhat moved by his words. Sui Feng was usually a man of few words, but she never expected him to speak so sincerely today.

Seeing that he was determined and insisted on repaying her kindness, she felt a little relieved, but she still said, "Suifeng, I'll thank you for your efforts and help on behalf of Chenzhou, but remember, you can come back if anything happens."

"Thank you, Sister Shirong. I'll tell the gang leader about me after he takes the antidote."

After Liu Suifeng finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Zhao Shirong, and then turned to leave.

Li Chenzhou paused in his action of drinking the medicine, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked up at Zhao Shirong standing to the side: "Xiao Rong?"

He felt the heaviness in his body disappear instantly, and the poison suppressed by his internal energy slowly dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shirong breathed a sigh of relief.

The antidote was colorless and odorless. She dissolved it in the medicine and brought it over. Sure enough, Shen Zhou didn't notice anything wrong before drinking it.

She stepped forward, picked up the medicine, and fed it to him, deliberately saying, "Don't waste Suifeng's good intentions. He has sold himself to the Qingyun Sect for you, the gang leader."

She felt that Shen Zhou was too hesitant and didn't agree to Wen Piaoran's request for a long time, which led Liu Suifeng to come to her door on his own.

Although she didn't want to force Chen Zhou to make a decision, she didn't want to see him continue to be controlled by that person in the palace, and she didn't want to see him die.

Upon hearing this, Li Chenzhou showed a rare emotional fluctuation, his eyes filled with shock.

He choked on his medicine as soon as he swallowed it, coughing a few times: "What, selling yourself to the wind?"

Zhao Shirong fed him the last mouthful of medicine before nodding: "You hesitated for so long and couldn't make a decision. Suifeng was worried about you, so he went to find Sect Master Wen to change the medicine."

"What does 'selling oneself' mean?" Li Chenzhou asked.

Seeing that he didn't vomit blood to expel toxins after drinking it, and that his complexion began to improve, Zhao Shirong asked him, "How are you feeling?"

"The poison has been neutralized. This medicine is rare and precious. Tell me about Sui Feng's condition first." Li Chenzhou was not in the mood to be happy about the fact that the poison had been neutralized.

Zhao Shirong recounted what Liu Suifeng had told her.

After listening, Li Chenzhou slowly stood up: "I'll go find Wen Piaoran to ask for the person back. I'll take responsibility for the antidote pill myself."

"Chen Zhou, have you thought this through?" Zhao Shirong didn't stop him, but asked instead.

Having figured out which position he wanted, has he finally decided to no longer be controlled by that person in the palace?

Li Chenzhou paused only for a moment: "Yes, I'm sorry, Xiao Rong, I've made you worry about me all these years."

After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

As Zhao Shirong watched his retreating figure, tears welled up in her eyes.

Song Mingzhu, who had been keeping an eye on the gang leader's movements, rushed over as soon as she received the news and overheard their conversation.

"Greetings, Leader. Mingzhu requests that you take me with you to Qingyun Sect."

"Why?" Li Chenzhou asked.

"Young Master has left the Power Gang alone, but Mingzhu is determined to follow him to the death. Please grant us this request, Gang Leader."

"Since I'm not taking you with me, you can stay in the gang for now. I have things to do." After saying that, Li Chenzhou left directly.

While the two were talking, Zhao Shirong had already ordered a carriage to be prepared so that they could set off.

She lifted the curtain and saw Song Mingzhu following behind her: "Shen Zhou?"

Li Chenzhou shook his head: "If she wants to go, then let her go."

Qingyun Sect

Wen Piaoran stood by the window, looking at the scenery in the distance. To others, she seemed to be daydreaming, but she was actually watching Xiao Qi's live stream.

The scene includes scenes from Li Chenzhou's side, as well as scenes of Liu Suifeng going out to find his enemies.

Liu Suifeng came to Qingyun Sect, but Wen Piaoran didn't ask him to do anything. Instead, he gave him time to handle his own affairs.

He was able to find out the truth about Baicao Valley smoothly because Wen Piaoran had someone help him; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy.

The main issue is that if he insists that the Xiao family is his mortal enemy, then a conflict with Xiao Qiushui would only benefit Xiao Kaiyan.

This is a situation I don't want to see; it's better to let them fight the big villain together.

After Xiao Kaiyan's identity was revealed by her, he has been kept under surveillance by Xiao Qiushui recently. Whenever he makes a move, Xiao Qiushui will stop him.

The people of the Northern Wilderness have already colluded with Xiao Kaiyan. They have begun to plot against General Wu, who is guarding the border, hoping to create internal strife in the Great Xi Dynasty and seize the opportunity to invade.

Wen Piaoran thought to herself that it was time for Li Chenzhou to take the throne, otherwise the current emperor was just a hindrance.

Since Li Chenzhou was already on his way to Qingyun Sect, and they were already there, they decided to push him forward on this matter.
