ty center, so going out to buy things is very convenient. Although this courtyard is not big, it must not be cheap in a place like Phoenix City where an inch of land is worth an inch of gold. 。To give...At some point, the wind picked up. In the courtyard, the last few yellow leaves on the withered trees were also blown away by the wind.

Qin Luoyan slowly crouched down, stretching out her hand to touch Li Huan's face, but before her hand could touch the cold skin, she was pushed away by the owner of the Qiyuan Pharmacy.

“Get out!” the herbalist shop owner glared at her angrily, “You bunch of thieves! Thieves! For just one herb, you’ve taken my daughter’s life, you…you bunch of thieves…”

The proprietor of the strange apothecary shop cried and yelled, until finally only choked sobs remained.

In that moment, Qin Luoyan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. Wasn't she just a bandit Neither Li Huan nor the owner of this pharmacy had done anything wrong, yet they paid with their lives.

She once hated this society of the strong preying on the weak, but she never expected that one day, she would be forced to become the very person she hated most.

She burst into tears, facing the accusations of the apothecary owner, she could only bow her head in shame, powerless to refute.

Looking at her slightly trembling shoulders, Yin Qi's tenderness deepened. He gently raised his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms, but when his hand touched Qin Luo Yan, he was startled by the icy touch and retracted his hand again.

Over there, Yisheng unintentionally opened his eyes and saw this scene. He couldn't help but feel a sourness in his nose, and he called out in a hoarse voice, "Sister... Sister..."

Qin Luoyan heard his shout and immediately got up to turn around and came to Yixing's side.

"Sister…" Yisheng spoke with great difficulty, each word coming out with immense effort, "...Sister, just let me die. Even if I die, I don't want you to carry the guilt for a lifetime..."

Qin Luo wanted to say a few words of comfort, but her lips moved and she couldn't utter anything. At this moment, she didn't know what else to do besides crying and praying for a miracle.

When everyone thought things were at a standstill, Yin Qi gripped the dagger again. He pressed it against the owner of the pharmacy's neck, "Your daughter is dead, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. Either you hand over the herbs, and I will spare your life, giving you a chance for revenge in the future, or you die with your daughter. That way, neither of you will have anyone to avenge your deaths. And, I promise you, if that child dies because of the lack of medicine, every single person in your pharmacy, from top to bottom, I, Yin Qi, will take their lives."

When he uttered the word "Yin Qi" not even a single character, the masked black-clothed man and the owner of the pharmacy both froze, as if none of them had expected that the person wielding the dagger and doing such a desperate thing would be Yin Qi, the youngest chancellor in the history of Nanyue Kingdom according to legend!

The masked man in black was no ordinary person, and the proprietor of that strange pharmacy had also been traveling abroad for many years. Therefore, they were both familiar with prominent figures from several major countries.

If this person before us is truly Yin Qi, then what he says would be beyond doubt.

“Those in the imperial court all climbed up on a foundation of blood. Don't you think I would be as merciful as she” Yin Qi sneered, bringing the dagger closer to the owner of the elixir shop’s neck. The blade immediately cut through the skin on his neck, and just one more push would sever his throat.

The air hung heavy with silence. For a long moment, no one spoke.

The owner of the apothecary struggled in his eyes. He wanted to follow his daughter into the underworld no matter the cost, but he was nearly fifty years old after all. His life experience was far greater than that of Little A'yan, who had only known fleeting joy. Experience meant reality; he could see it clearly. Even if he stubbornly refused, he would only drag hundreds of people from his apothecary down with him to join the child in death. How could he make such a decision based on his own selfish desires, sacrificing so many lives

"Alright! I'll give them to you!" The owner of the apothecary finally made his decision.

This is a conversation between adults, all knowing they should make choices based on reality. It's a pity that it takes so much hardship to grow from young to adult, and some people lose their chance to grow before they've even been through the trials.

Yin Qi retracted his dagger, and the owner of the pharmacy revealed where he hid his medicinal herbs. Since he was also wary of Li Huan needing them in an emergency, the location wasn't far from the capital of Man Country, a mere hour's ride by horse.

The masked man immediately instructed his subordinates to fetch the medicine according to the address given by the owner of the pharmacy, and ordered the guards of the estate to take both the owner of the pharmacy and Li Huan's corpse down. However, he did not intend to release them immediately.

When the guards had escorted everyone away, the man in black walked up to Yin Qi and bowed. "I never expected to meet Southern Yue's Grand Minister Yin here. It's an honor to finally meet you."

Yin Qi also bowed in return, "Your Excellency knows who I am, but I don't know who you are."

"Hahaha…" The masked man in black laughed aloud, then took off his mask. "I am Zhao Cheng from Man country."

“Man Country’s most famous general, the great General Zu Che who once aided the former emperor in expanding his territories” Yin Qi was clearly surprised, but only for a moment before he regained his calm and collected expression. “I never expected to have the honor of meeting General Zu Che. General Zu Che, your bearing is extraordinary, truly a legendary dragon and tiger warrior as rumored.”

“Grand Advisor Yin is too kind. By the way, what about that proprietor of the strange pharmacy What are your thoughts, Grand Advisor…” As someone who had spent years in court, he understood a fundamental truth: it was crucial to eradicate the roots, especially when dealing with acts that harmed heaven and earth. Leaving behind any potential for future trouble was unthinkable. Although Zuo Cheng already had a plan in mind, he cleverly inquired about Yin Qi’s intentions.

Yin Qi's brow involuntarily furrowed, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look in Qin Luo Yan's direction. Although the whereabouts of the medicinal herbs had been found, Qin Luo Yan's expression remained filled with a heartbreaking sadness. She just sat there, holding Yixing motionless.

"Or… just do as we said before, let it go." Yin Qi sighed a long breath.

His words left Zhao Cheng utterly stunned. Following his gaze, Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "Lord Yin, this is not a time for acts of compassion. These women lack discernment. We who accomplish great deeds cannot afford to make foolish errors! If you are unable to do it, then I will gladly take care of it."

Yin Qi didn't speak, just about to nod, when Qin Luo Yan suddenly moved over there.

"No!" Qin Luoyan turned her head and looked at Yin Qi, not at Zuo Cheng. She said word by word: "If you hurt him, I will never forgive you in this lifetime!" She had already killed his daughter, and now she was going to harm his life. She really couldn't do such a beastly thing.
