127: The elders persuaded
Upon hearing this, Elder Yuehua winked at the three Elders, then helped Luoshui Fairy towards her boudoir, with the three Elders following closely behind.
After Luoshui Fairy and the Elders left, only Lu Xian'er, Luo Meijiao, and Qin Tian remained in the Hundred Flowers Valley Great Hall.
"Young Master, do you know what's wrong with Revered Master? Why won't she tell us when we ask her? We're so worried!" Lu Xian'er asked anxiously.
Qin Tian was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the Valley Revered Master should be poisoned."
"What? Poisoned?"
Lu Xian'er and Luo Meijiao exclaimed in surprise.
"Young Master, didn't you secretly poison Tianyi Sect Master Ji Ba and the others during their battle with Revered Master? Why is Revered Master poisoned? Is it the poison you administered? Please give Revered Master the antidote quickly!" Luo Meijiao asked anxiously.
Qin Tian nodded and said in a deep voice, "It was indeed the poison I administered. I have already had the Valley Revered Master take the antidote. However, judging by her condition, she must also have been poisoned by Tianyi Sect Master Ji Ba."
"Young Master, do you know what poison Revered Master is afflicted with? Why isn't she trying to remove the poison?"
Qin Tian looked at Lu Xian'er, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."
"Senior Sister, what should we do?" Luo Meijiao hugged Lu Xian'er's arm, anxiously.
"The Valley Revered Master just called the Elders over, she's probably looking for a way to detoxify herself. Let's just wait for news. There's no use in being anxious now, we can't help at all."
Upon hearing this, Luo Meijiao became even more anxious and could only pace back and forth in the Great Hall.
...
Elder Yuehua helped Luoshui Fairy to her boudoir. After settling her down, she asked with an anxious expression, "Valley Revered Master, how are you feeling now?"
At this moment, Luoshui Fairy's pretty face was like a red apple, vibrant and luscious. Her delicate body trembled violently, and she bit her red lips, her voice trembling as she said, "I... I can't hold on much longer."
As soon as these words came out, the Elders all showed expressions of panic.
If Luoshui Fairy, whom their Hundred Flowers Valley had painstakingly nurtured, were to perish like this, how could they bear it?
Moreover, her talent was extremely high, reaching the Returning Void Realm Late Stage at only 39 years old. If she were given another 20 years, she might be able to Breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm. By then, their Hundred Flowers Valley would become even stronger under her leadership.
Luoshui Fairy was silent for a moment, as if she had made some kind of decision. She looked at the Elders and said in a deep voice, "I can't hold on. Elder Yuehua, the Hundred Flowers Valley is entrusted to you. Kill me!"
Upon hearing this, the Elders exclaimed in alarm.
"Valley Revered Master! No!"
"Valley Revered Master, please bear with it a little longer. We will definitely find a way!" Elder Yuehua said with tears in her eyes, her voice filled with sorrow.
"Yes! Valley Revered Master, please bear with it. The Disciples are currently searching for the antidote in the Tianyi Sect Elder's storage ring. Perhaps they will find an antidote. You absolutely must not give up!" an Elder pleaded sorrowfully.
"A Disciple just messaged me. They've searched everywhere and haven't found the antidote!" Elder Yuehua sighed, her body trembling.
"What? None?"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of despair.
"Valley Revered Master, Elder Xiaoyue and Elder Xiaoqing have already gone to the Tianyi Sect. Perhaps they can find the antidote there. You must not give up!"
Luoshui Fairy shook her head and said with a trembling voice, "It's... it's useless. You all know this poison has no cure. Even if they can find an antidote, it will be two days before they return. I... I can't hold on for two days!"
"Elder Yuehua, do it! I... I can't bear it anymore! Kill me quickly!" Luoshui Fairy roared hoarsely.
"No... no...! I watched you grow up. How could I do it!" Elder Yuehua shook her head frantically, crying sorrowfully.
Seeing this scene, the Elders all shed tears.
Seeing Luoshui Fairy suffer such torment, Elder Yuehua's heart felt as if it were being pricked by needles, extremely painful.
A moment later.
She looked at Luoshui Fairy and said with a solemn expression, "Valley Revered Master, actually, there is still one person in our Hundred Flowers Valley who has the antidote!"
"Who has the antidote? Elder Yuehua, why didn't you say so earlier? Quickly have him send the antidote!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Elder Yuehua.
Elder Yuehua smiled bitterly, "The antidote is Young Master Qin Tian!"
"What?"
"Elder Yuehua, you... you mean, let the Valley Revered Master and Young Master Qin..." an Elder stammered, trembling.
Elder Yuehua nodded, "At present, this is the only way."
"How can this be? Our Hundred Flowers Valley Revered Master has always been pure and unsullied, never marrying. How can she do such a shameless thing?"
Elder Yuehua looked at the other three Elders and sternly asked, "Now only Young Master Qin can save the Valley Revered Master, otherwise the Valley Revered Master will surely die. Do you want to see the Valley Revered Master die?"
"This... this!"
Everyone's faces were extremely grim. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Upon hearing the three words "Young Master Qin," Luoshui Fairy's delicate body trembled inexplicably. Thinking of that handsome face, and the scene of him holding her before.
Unconsciously, her skirt seemed to be washed by a large amount of water, with a lot of moisture seeping out.
She bit her silver teeth tightly, her flushed face trembling as she said, "You don't need to argue anymore. I have made up my mind. Even if I die, I will never break the Old Ancestor's rules and ruin the thousand-year reputation of my Hundred Flowers Valley!"
"Elder Yuehua, quickly do it!"
"No...! Valley Revered Master, please listen to me. Go to Young Master Qin to detoxify first. What rules, what reputation, how can they be more important than a human life!" Elder Yuehua roared sorrowfully.
"Why don't you say something? Are you deaf? Are you willing to watch Little Luoshui die tragically? Are you wooden people? You are all her Elders, you all held her when she was little!" Elder Yuehua looked at the three Elders, roaring heartbrokenly.
The three Elders, hearing Elder Yuehua's heart-wrenching roar, had red eyes and tears streamed down their faces.
Thinking of Luoshui Fairy when she was little, often coming to play with them, thinking of that mischievous and adorable Little Luoshui, their hearts felt as if they were being struck by a sledgehammer, extremely uncomfortable.
"Valley Revered Master, why don't you go to Young Master Qin for detoxification first! What sect rules, what ancestral teachings, to hell with them!" an Elder roared sorrowfully.
"That's right! Valley Revered Master, the Hundred Flowers Valley's ancestral teachings are simply unreasonable. For someone as beautiful as a Fairy like you, to be forced to live alone until old age, that's too cruel!" another Elder echoed.
"Exactly! Today, we will break the ancestral teachings and violate the sect rules, let you marry Young Master Qin, and let you become a pair of immortal companions! Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone!"
"Young Master Qin is so handsome and righteous; he is the perfect choice for the Valley Revered Master!"
Upon hearing the three Elders' persuasion, Elder Yuehua's pretty face finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Little Luoshui!"
"It's been many years since I called you that. Will you listen to us, please?" Elder Yuehua cried loudly.
"That's right, Little Luoshui, make your decision quickly! You are the Valley Revered Master of Hundred Flowers Valley now, you are the highest authority. Whatever ancestral teachings, whatever sect rules, you have the final say. We now unanimously support you in revising the sect rules!"
Seeing Luoshui Fairy lower her head without speaking, Elder Yuehua was burning with anxiety. She looked at the three Elders with a solemn expression and said, "Since she won't make a decision, let us decide for her. We watched her grow up from a young age, so we are like half-mothers to her."
"The three of you hold her down, and absolutely do not let her commit suicide. I will immediately go and get Young Master Qin. After Young Master Qin detoxifies the Valley Revered Master, we will hold a wedding ceremony for them. Today, we will break the ancestral teachings and let the Valley Revered Master and Young Master Qin live happily ever after!" As soon as her voice fell, she flashed and left Luoshui Fairy's boudoir, heading to the Hundred Flowers Valley Great Hall.
