Chapter 1624: 1624 Poison King Valley Qin Garden 1

"Just as one is about to despair when out of options, a hidden path appears in a grove of willows," Su Qingyue smiled faintly, "Due to the terrain, the clouds and fog at the mid-hillside persist year-round without dissipating, and thus the Poison King Valley is hidden beneath this mist."

As she spoke, she leaped off the cliff, and when reaching above the clouds, she hooked one end of a long white silk onto a protruding stone wall halfway down the cliff. Her body passed through the mist layer, continuing to fall downward until the silk was taut, and she hung in midair holding the silk with one hand.

After passing through the mist layer, looking down, she saw several lofty buildings towering below, with exquisite and ornate structures, courtyards, artificial hills, streams, and meticulously laid out paths, along with vast fields of poisonous flowers and grasses...

At the base of the cliff, a river flowed gently along the mountain, with two servants doing laundry by the riverbank.

The scenery was so perfect, it was a secluded paradise away from the world!

Su Qingyue thought to herself: This is indeed the Poison King Valley.

A moment of surprise, and she descended another hundred meters by hooking the cliff wall with her long white silk, soon landing on a flat area in the Poison King Valley.

Fu Chou’s heart was nearly in his mouth when his master leaped off the cliff.

He had a hook rope himself and mimicked her movements, descending to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing his master unharmed, he was finally relieved.

Just as the two stood firm, a group of guards emerged from the end of a winding path, led by a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper in his forties.

Fu Chou stood in front of his master and whispered, "Master, be careful."

The middle-aged man brought the group to Su Qingyue and bowed, "Welcome to the Poison King Valley, esteemed guests. I am Wei Tang, the housekeeper of Poison King Valley. I have prepared hot water and meals for the esteemed guests. Please follow me..."

Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow and followed Wei Tang into the Poison King Valley Estate.

The various flowers and grasses in the estate were pleasing to the eye, though all were poisonous.

The two passed by a small courtyard where melodious music from a zither came from the left-side pavilion; the sound was ethereal and pleasant, though not superb, it was still of very high quality.

Su Qingyue wasn’t curious about who was playing the zither.

She just followed Wei Tang to the entrance of a small courtyard.

She looked up at the plaque on the courtyard door – Qin Garden.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her heart sank.

This courtyard was surprisingly called Qin Garden. Wasn’t that the name of the garden she used to live in with her third brother in Longwan Town?

Entering Qin Garden, she found that the flowers, trees, stone tables, and chairs inside the yard were exactly the same as the Qin Garden she had lived in before.

Wei Tang opened the door to a side room, "Young Master Su, this is the room prepared for you."

Su Qingyue looked at the arrangement inside the room; it indeed matched the setup of the room she had stayed in before.

Meaning, this Qin Garden in the Poison King Valley was modeled after the Qin Garden in the Xiao Mansion of Longwan Town where she had stayed.

Even the style of the bedding on the bed was the same.

This Manager Wei addressing her as Young Master Su showed that he clearly knew her identity in the capital. With such arrangements, they even knew she was Su Qingyue.

Fu Chou also noticed and looked at Su Qingyue, "Master..."

Su Qingyue raised her hand, signaling him to stay silent.

A sumptuous meal was already laid out on the table in the room, including cubilose, abalone, ginseng chicken soup, ten treasure porridge...

The table was full, tempting and mouth-watering.

"Young Master Su, would you like to eat first, or take a bath?" Wei Tang asked dutifully.
