Chapter 278 Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
Qin Xin and Jian Po were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Shen Shuyi again.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold and he said bluntly, "If you don't get the antidote in six months, you will die from the poison."
Both of them remained silent, but Shen Shuyi did not see any murderous intent or struggle in their eyes.
Obviously, neither of them intended to attack the other.
Shen Shuyi said nothing more and took the two of them back home, letting Yuping take them to settle down.
On the other side, upstairs in Xingwang Building, a man stood by the railing, his eyes beneath the mask deep and intriguing.
Ye Lan said in a deep voice: "Master, Qin Xin and Jian Po..."
The man said dimly, "She guessed that there was something wrong with their origins, but she couldn't bear to see their skills."
So even if it's risky, she wants to keep him by her side.
As for the poison of "Moon Drink", he had never heard of it.

Shen Shuyi was in a very good mood after returning home.
That’s right, the origins of Qin Xin and Jian Po did make her feel suspicious. She was not sure what their purpose was, but she really had no one to use at the moment.
Especially in the Shen Mansion, not having anyone who knows martial arts around is really a hindrance.
Jinzhu massaged Shen Shuyi's shoulders and said, "Miss, if you haven't got the antidote for six months, will the poison really take effect?"
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "In six months, the poison will be cured."
It also means that the two of them have at least passed her test.
These two people have beautiful looks and they have a tacit understanding in their words. They don't look like secret guards trained by ordinary aristocratic families, but it can be seen that they have a close relationship.
It was precisely because of the unconscious intimacy between the two people's behavior that Shen Shuyi used this method to test them.
If she could betray her friends just to survive, then she would dare to use such ruthless and treacherous people, but in a different way.
But if the two people are loyal and would rather endure the pain of bone-eating than kill each other in order to survive, then at least it proves that they are both useful.
"So the poison is real?" Jinzhu opened her eyes wide, a little curious about the medicine.
Shen Shuyi saw through her thoughts and smiled: "I made the poison myself. You will indeed suffer severe pain on the full moon nights for the first six months, but if you can get through it, it will not only be harmless to your body, but it will also have the effect of cleansing your marrow and strengthening your tendons."
Jinzhu blinked: "So this isn't actually poison? It's a good thing?"
Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Regardless of whether it's good or not, it's true that it costs a lot of money."
"They are pretty lucky." Jinzhu sighed like a flatterer.
Shen Shuyi glanced at her and said, "How about I give you two too?"
Jinzhu waved her hands quickly: "No, no, fighting and killing are not something I am good at. I just need to serve the young lady well."
At this point, Shen Shuyi said: "Let Manju go to the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion. You don't have to serve me for the time being."
She intended to let Manju learn martial arts. Although it was a little late now, fortunately Manju was willing to endure hardships, and she also had some basic skills, so it was still not too late.
"Also, let Jiang Li check the origins of Qinxin Sword Soul for me."
"Yes."
Although Shen Shuyi knew that even if she investigated, she might not find anything, she still had to be cautious.
In her previous life, she was exploited, betrayed, and died, but there were also people who believed in her, loved her, and were willing to give their lives for her.
So she will no longer trust anyone easily, but she will not be so paranoid as to think that there is only profit in this world.
She knew that profit-seeking is human nature, and most people are not saints. They are neither bad enough to lose their humanity, nor kind enough to do anything at all.
Therefore, she cherishes every kindness and values every true love. At the same time, she cannot tolerate any harm and cannot stand any betrayal.

The next day, noon.
Because of Madam Shen's poor health, they did not set out too early.
In the past, every two to three years, the Shen family would go on a trip to the Jade Buddha Temple to fast and pray, occasionally staying for a short time, and usually returning after about two to three days.
This year, there was no plan to travel and pray, but because of Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingyu's actions, this unexpected trip was made.
All the masters of the two branches of the Shen family had to go. Legitimate sons were allowed to bring four slaves, and illegitimate sons were allowed to bring two. Shen Shuyi directly selected Jinzhu, Yuping, Qinxin and Jiangpo.
"Miss, it's almost time." Yuping looked at Shen Shuyi who was neither hurried nor slow, and reminded her in a low voice.
"No rush. Are the things I asked you to prepare ready?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Yuping said: "I'm ready."
After saying this, Yuping took out a bulging cowhide water bag.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips, a cunning look flashed in her eyes. She turned to look at Jianpo and threw the water bag to her: "Give Shen Jingyu a gift for me."
After Jian Po caught it, he looked at Shen Shuyi in disbelief.
This… this water bag is filled with a bag of dog blood…
She could see it clearly when Yuping bought it and poured it into her mouth.
Facing Jian Po's stunned gaze, Shen Shuyi stood up and asked patiently and gently, "Is it difficult?"
"No...it's not..."
Jianpo came to his senses, turned around and walked away with the water bag in his hand. The girl walked faster and faster, and her feet gradually left a residual shadow. After a while, she flew a few times and jumped onto the tree, completely disappearing from view.
Qin Xin stood behind Shen Shuyi, looking at Shen Shuyi's smiling face, trying hard to reduce her presence.
So, what kind of woman is the one that the master asked them to serve?
The weather was getting colder, and Yuping put a white cloak on Shen Shuyi before Shen Shuyi stood up.
Near noon, a group of people gathered in the front yard.
The Shen family had not had such a large-scale outing for a long time. Even when they went to Prince Duan's Mansion before, there were not so many people.
When Shen Shuyi arrived, Qin Xuerong, Zhang Jinping and others had already arrived.
Qin Xuerong was standing aside, instructing Shen Jinglin about something, as if she was afraid that he would cause trouble again.
Shen Jinglin responded absentmindedly, but he was thinking about his own plans in his mind.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi stepped forward and said, "Sixth brother seems to have lost some weight, but is it because practicing martial arts is too strenuous?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinglin felt like he had found a confidant, and immediately wanted to say something: "Second sister, you don't know that Mr. Wu Yi is not a human being at all..."
"Lin'er! Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best!" Qin Xuerong interrupted loudly.
She was wearing a light green jacket and skirt today, and her outfit was simple and elegant. However, since she was going out, she also wore some jewelry. Compared with her previous dignified and gentle appearance, she looked more elegant and indifferent to the world.
Fearing that Shen Shuyi had some bad intentions again, Qin Xuerong didn't dare let Shen Jinglin talk to Shen Shuyi for too long.
But as soon as she said this, it seemed to stimulate Shen Jinglin. Shen Jinglin stretched his neck and said, "Suffering is so good, why don't you eat more! Wearing gold and silver every day, eating delicious food, what right do you have to say that to me!"
