Chapter 33

"Ah, I told you not to go in and look!" Li Yunxiao had a face full of blame, "You didn't listen to my good advice, so you deserve it. Young Master Long Hao's taste is not something ordinary people can accept."

Chen Zhen shakily stood up, his face already pale, "Young Master Yun, picking up soap is already out of date."

Long Qing, after a bout of vomiting, trembled with anger all over, his whole body strangely smoking. He roared, "Li Yunxiao, what's going on here?!"

He immediately saw his beloved son inside, and this shocking scene made him completely collapse. Regardless of the final outcome, if Zhang Qingfan and the others saw this disgrace, how could the Long family ever have the face to stand in the capital again!

He was almost driven mad, and if not for so many people present, he would have torn Li Yunxiao to pieces and fed him to the dogs.

Li Yunxiao coldly snorted, his gaze gradually turning cold, and a chill emanated from his body, "Lord Long, your precious son invited me over without a word. I want to ask you what's going on!"

Long Qing was startled, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Li Yunxiao, a weak young man, appeared to be a three-star warrior, but he gave him a sense of being unfathomable. It was as if even if he made a move, he might not be his match!

"How can this be?" Long Qing consoled himself, "It must have been too disgusting just now, so my senses were off."

His face turned cold, and he sternly said, "I'm not clear about what happened between you and my son, but now you are standing here unharmed, while my son, my son..." His eyes were almost spitting fire. After today, Long Hao would never be able to stay in the capital!

Li Yunxiao's aura spread, quickly catching the attention of Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han. Both were third-stage master alchemists with highly sensitive divine senses, immediately noticing Li Yunxiao's uniqueness and showing looks of surprise.

Zhang Qingfan swallowed a few pills, finally steadying his nausea, and said with a pale face, "Your son has a very heavy taste. What can you do? Is he going to be listened to in your Long Manor?"

Long Qing was also taken aback. Yes, Li Yunxiao was brought back, but how could he have the ability to take down Hao and the others? Could this really be Hao's preference? He was momentarily stunned.

Jia Rong coldly laughed, "Hmph, if the son is like that, the father must be too!" When he went in, he indeed saw his disciple inside, already scared to death, fearing that Li Yunxiao would hold him accountable, so he quickly jumped out to show his loyalty.

"Whoosh!"

Upon hearing Jia Rong's words, everyone moved away from Long Qing as if electrocuted, at least three to four meters away, isolating him and staring at him with strange looks.

Long Qing's face instantly turned white, standing there in extreme embarrassment, pointing at Jia Rong and angrily saying, "Talking nonsense! I am the noble commander of the Imperial Guard, a great warrior of the Three Talents Realm, how could I be a homosexual!"

Zhang Qingfan coldly said, "Who inside is not a noble warrior?" He no longer paid attention to Long Qing, turning to look at Li Yunxiao, his gaze softening, "You are Li Yunxiao?"

Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, "You are Zhang Qingfan?"

Zhang Qingfan was surprised, "You know me?"

Li Yunxiao lightly laughed, "On the left is the president of the Alchemists' Guild, Xu Han, on the right is the commander of the National Guard, Teacher Luo. So, the one walking in the middle, besides His Majesty, can only be Zhang Qingfan or Prince Xiao Qing. It's not hard to guess."

Zhang Qingfan smiled in understanding, nodding in approval, "You are indeed different from what I've heard. Do you know the technique of acupuncture with golden needles?"

Li Yunxiao chuckled, "Let's see."

"Let's see?" Zhang Qingfan's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "The princess is of noble blood. Without sufficient confidence, how can you be allowed to try the needles!"

Li Yunxiao shrugged, making a helpless gesture, and smiled, "If you don't let me try, do you have any other way?"

Zhang Qingfan was taken aback, pondering for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, "Alright, go ahead and try." Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and he said coldly, "If you save the princess, in the future, no matter what happens in the Clear Water Kingdom, your life will be safe. If you fail, even if Li Chunyang steps in, he can't save your life!"

His words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and Li Yunxiao's face changed slightly, coldly laughing, "My life is always in my own hands."

Seeing the cold atmosphere, Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Don't waste time, the princess is waiting for the acupuncture."

Li Yunxiao glanced at Meng Wu, suddenly grinning, "Last time you framed me, this time you sent people to save me, it's evened out."

Meng Wu's face turned red, wishing she could find a crack to hide in.

Li Yunxiao smiled, "I need a helper, come and assist me in saving the princess."

Meng Wu hurriedly waved her hands, "Me? No, no, I can't do anything."

Li Yunxiao smiled, "If I say you can, you can!" He turned to Zhang Qingfan, "Master Zhang, I need two helpers, Meng Wu and Teacher Luo. As for the compensation for their assistance, I want you to cover it."

Zhang Qingfan was taken aback, then nodded, "Everything is up to you, everyone will follow your orders!"

Luo Yunshang secretly rejoiced, looking at Li Yunxiao with gratitude. The technique of acupuncture with golden needles was a legendary method, known only to a few high-level alchemists. Any alchemist would not miss the chance to witness it.

Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Young Master Yun, didn't you say you wanted me to be a helper?"

Li Yunxiao's face turned serious, "Is Liang Jun your disciple?"

Jia Rong's heart sank, thinking it was over. He wiped his cold sweat, "He was my disciple before, but I have already expelled him from my heart. In fact, I haven't managed him for a long time, really, don't go, Young Master Yun, listen to me, I don't even know him, don't, don't go..."

In a secret ice chamber on the fourth floor of the Alchemists' Guild.

Qin Ruxue, dressed in a white dress, lay on a light green jade bed, her face blue and purple, with five faint red lines densely spread across her face, her vitality weak.

Zhang Qingfan glanced at her, his face turning even more serious, and he said solemnly, "This purple-green jade bed can slightly suppress the princess's condition, but it has clearly reached its limit."

Li Yunxiao sighed slightly, thinking to himself that his soul power level was too low, otherwise he would have discovered that the princess had the Five Yin Absolute Pulse long ago, and it wouldn't have dragged on until now. He waved his hand slightly, "You all go out, leave Meng Wu and Luo Yunshang here."

Luo Yunshang couldn't help but say, "Do you only need a silk screen and thirty golden needles? Do you really need nothing else?" She was slightly nervous, "Li Yunxiao, do you really have the confidence?"

Li Yunxiao propped his chin, deep in thought.

Zhang Qingfan, seeing his tense expression, said sternly, "Li Yunxiao, tell me honestly, how confident are you? If your confidence is too low, I will notify the king immediately." His words were clear: if Li Yunxiao failed, it might be the last time with the princess.

Everyone's hearts sank, not optimistic about the situation. After all, Li Yunxiao was too young, and acupuncture with golden needles required extremely high control, and the sequence, timing, and force could not have the slightest error. By their estimation, a thirty percent chance would be fortunate!

Li Yunxiao sighed, "If the princess were a man, I could face-to-face acupuncture with a hundred percent confidence. But she is a woman, so I can only use the golden needles from fifteen meters away through the silk screen. Plus, I was shocked by Young Master Hao's refined taste at the Long Manor, and my spirit is still somewhat weakened. Altogether, I have about a ninety percent chance."

"Fly the needles through the silk screen?! You're telling me you want to fly the needles from fifteen meters away through the silk screen?!!!" Zhang Qingfan felt a surge of blood to his chest, his mind buzzing, "So you need the silk screen to avoid the impropriety between men and women?"

"Face-to-face, a hundred percent confidence, fly the needles, ninety percent confidence?"

Xu Han drew a deep breath, somewhat dazed, "Acupuncture with golden needles is so easy, I thought it was a very profound technique." He shook his head, "No, no, I once heard my master say that to successfully perform acupuncture with golden needles, one must have the soul power of a fifth-stage alchemist or a thousand-refined technique, which is impossible to achieve!"

Luo Yunshang was also stunned, her face turning serious, and she shouted, "Do you think you're Master Yang Di
