"Feng Yuqin is an alchemist?" Everyone asked in disbelief.
"And a fourth - level alchemist at that?"
This was because it was a fourth - level pill.
Previously, fourth - level pills were unheard of in the Western Song Kingdom.
Since the appearance of the Dark Night Pavilion, even fifth - level pills had been seen.
However, the Dark Night Pavilion was rather mysterious, so people were more likely to accept it.
But now, learning that the rumored good - for - nothing Feng Yuqin was a fourth - level alchemist left them all in a state of shock.
"I only heard a bit from our pavilion master about this. Miss Feng has a master. When she became his disciple, her master told her not to reveal her identity as an alchemist until she reached the fourth level. Just a month ago, Miss Feng finally reached that level. So, it's not against her master's wishes to disclose this now," Yun Jie explained.
"So, Feng Yuqin is really an alchemist now? And a fourth - level one at that? Higher - ranked than the royal alchemists?"
This news quickly caused an uproar among the crowd.
Everyone began to whisper and discuss.
Seeing this, Feng Yao and the others felt that if they didn't leave soon, they might not be able to get away later.
So, Feng Yao was the first to try to leave.
Seeing this, Meng Xingyu shouted, "Are you just going to let Feng Yao and the others go?"
At this shout, everyone instinctively looked towards Feng Yao and saw her fleeing back.
The person closest to her immediately blocked her escape route.
"What are you doing? Your toxins have already been neutralized. There's nothing for us to do here anymore," Feng Yao said as she was blocked. She immediately launched an attack. Seeing this, the others joined forces to surround Feng Yao.
She was quite skilled, but there were just too many people.
She was surrounded by layers upon layers, and it was far from easy for her to escape.
Previously, they didn't believe the Second Lady's words, thinking that it might be because of Feng Yuqin that the Second Lady had lied. Now, they knew that everything the Second Lady had said was true.
With the testimonies of the people brought by Yun Jie, the Second Lady and the others were in for a rough time.
"This scene is truly a sight to behold," Yan Geng said cheerfully.
Since the Second Lady entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, his aunt had lost her position as the mistress. Later, when his cousin Yuqin was born, life became even harder. So, Yan Geng and his brother both felt a sense of relief.
"Beat them! Beat them!"
Everyone shouted and roared. In their anger, they didn't care about the fact that they were beating people at the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Stop, please stop!" The Second Lady was in a sorry state at this moment.
Feng Yao and her younger brother were no better.
Both of them were shouting for the beating to stop.
They also tried to fight back, but they were well - aware that they couldn't kill anyone. Otherwise, this matter might not end well today.
It was still okay that no one had died from the poisoning before.
But if they were to kill someone in public, the nature of the incident would be completely different.
Feng Chi could control himself, but Feng Yao couldn't.
So, when Feng Yao was beaten badly, she took out her sword and stabbed at one person's throat.
The man was stunned when he saw Feng Yao's sword coming at him. Since there were too many people behind him, he had no way to avoid the sword. He instinctively shouted, "Feng Yao is killing someone!"
Everyone looked over and held their breaths for the man.
Feng Yuqin happened to arrive just in time to see this. Without a second thought, she immediately flew forward, grabbed the man out of the crowd, and with a kick, sent the sword in Feng Yao's hand flying to an open area.
"Aqin..." Meng Xingyu and the others saw Feng Yuqin and immediately ran over.
"Wow, it was Feng Yuqin who saved that man. Otherwise, that man would have died just now," someone said after reacting.
"If I'm not mistaken, Feng Yuqin's strength must be quite formidable. Otherwise, how could she have saved that man from Feng Yao's hands?"
"So, Feng Yuqin's strength has already surpassed Feng Yao's?"
"She's no longer a good - for - nothing. She can even alchemy, and she's a fourth - level alchemist?"
"Thank you, Miss Feng, for saving my life," the rescued man knelt in front of Feng Yuqin and kowtowed.
"Feng Yuqin, I'm going to kill you!" Feng Yao no longer cared about the antidote or anything else.
She had never felt so humiliated in her life.
"Stop her!" The onlookers immediately stepped forward to stop Feng Yao.
"Let me go! I'm going to kill her. She's a slut. It's all her fault," Feng Yao shouted. She believed that it was all because of Feng Yuqin.
If Feng Yuqin had just married into another country and never come back, none of this would have happened.
Feng Yao shouted crazily. Just then, an old man in green clothes with a white beard suddenly appeared. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, "Feng Yao?"
Feng Yao's movements froze. Even Feng Chi looked in the direction of the voice, "Master?"
The person who came was Master Qi, the master of Feng Yao and Feng Chi.
"Feng Chi?" Master Qi was even more surprised this time. Then, he angrily asked, "What's going on here? Who did this to you?"
Hearing her master's words, Feng Yao felt as if she had found her backbone and began to cry, "Master, it's her. It's Feng Yuqin who made me like this. Please avenge me."
Master Qi's cold and cruel eyes were filled with a hint of hostility. One look at him and you could tell that he was not a good person.
Now, hearing Feng Yao's words, without even asking, he directly attacked Feng Yuqin.
"Qiner..." Mo Xuanye said, "Let me handle this."
Feng Yuqin was speechless. She sent a spiritual message into the space, "How are you going to handle it? Let me release you from the space in public?"
If she did that, she would probably not only have to deal with this old man but also all the people on the continent who coveted her treasures.
"Aqin, we'll help you," Meng Xingyu and the others saw Master Qi attacking and all rushed forward.
However, Master Qi was quite powerful. Although Meng Xingyu and the others were also skilled, they were defeated within a few moves when facing Master Qi.
The people who had been causing trouble for Feng Yao and the others all looked at Feng Yuqin worriedly.
Now, Feng Yuqin held an important position in their hearts.
So, they didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
So, when they saw Meng Xingyu and the others being defeated, they stepped forward.
Apparently, this old man didn't want to entangle with these people. He directly grabbed one in each hand and took Feng Yao and Feng Chi away.
"Yao'er, Chi'er..." The Second Lady didn't expect her children to leave like this.
Moreover, they didn't even look back at her when they left, which left the Second Lady in despair.
It was also because of the Second Lady's cry that everyone reacted and wanted to go after the Second Lady to settle the score. But the Second Lady fainted due to her injuries and the shock of her children's departure.
"All of you, go back to your own places," Feng Yuqin said to everyone.
"But..." Someone looked at the Second Lady and didn't want to let her off so easily.
"Go back," Feng Yuqin said again.
Although everyone felt extremely unwilling, since their benefactor had spoken, they couldn't be ungrateful.
So, this time, everyone turned around and left in a rather coordinated manner.
The people who had been surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days and nights finally left.
The area outside the mansion gate was in a complete mess.
Feng Yuqin took a calm look at the unconscious Second Lady, then turned around and went to the Dark Night Pavilion with Meng Xingyu and the others.
