"Father, what is your plan? Tell your daughter that she will do her best to look for these medicinal herbs! " Su Xiruo was still very willing to serve his father.

Poison Sovereign continued, "Although these Sixth Rank Herbs are also rare, they shouldn't be too difficult for you to find. As for the Heart Refining Orchid, although it is extremely rare, you can use another Seventh Rank herb, Flying Feather Spirit!"

"But, as another Seventh Rank herb, shouldn't the rarity of the Heart Refining Orchid and the Feather Flying Feather be about the same?" Su Xiruo could not understand why his father would want to find such a substitute. "Could it be that you know the way to obtain the Flying Feather?"

"That's right!" Poison Sovereign nodded, "Xiruo, do you know about Fine Star Continent?"

"Heard of it." Su Xiruo still knew a bit about Mercenary Academy.

The Mercenary Academy was established by the Mercenary Guild and is used to train outstanding mercenaries for their Mercenary Guild. The overall strength of the Mercenary Academy is ranked high in the entire continent.

Furthermore, many large clans had sharpened their heads and wanted to send their children into the Mercenary Academy. The incomparably harsh conditions made many clans cower in fear.

"Inside the Mercenary Academy, a great competition will be held every three years, and all students are allowed to participate. There is still about a year or so until the next great competition, and the prize for first place in the great competition will be Flying Feather!" Poison Sovereign looked at Su Xiruo with his pitch-black pupils, as if he wanted to say something.

"Father wants me to register my Mercenary Academy?" Su Xiruo finally understood what he meant.

"That's right. In less than ten days, the Mercenary Guild will begin to enroll new students into the various empires." Poison Sovereign lightly patted her shoulder, his eyes filled with hope. "Xiruo, I believe with your talent, you will definitely be able to get the first place in the competition one year from now!"

Su Xiruo was startled, for a moment, he did not know how to reply: "This Mercenary Academy expert is as numerous as the clouds, with my current strength, I am afraid I am nothing, but since father said it, I will do my best to obtain the Flying Feather Spirit!"

Even if she knew that the strong were everywhere in that place, for the sake of her father's illness, she had to win even if not win!

"Good child, with these words of yours, father is relieved." Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Poison Sovereign was also happy in his heart, "As for that Beast Core, Xiruo, even if father hadn't said it, you still would have known what to do, right?"

Su Xiruo bit his lower lip, confused. "Please enlighten me, father."

"You already have a Spirit Beast by your side, this way, you don't need to waste time searching for it yourself!" Poison Sovereign blurted out.

Su Xiruo was slightly nervous. Was the Spirit Beast his father was talking about Helian Yunqian?

Indeed, after witnessing how many times Helian Yunqian had attacked her from the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, she was able to guess that Helian Yunqian should have a cultivation level above the Sixth Rank. It was very possible that he was already a Spirit Sovereign, which was equivalent to a Seventh Rank Spirit Beast!

And he, just so happened to be a rare Yin Attribute!

"No way." For some reason, Su Xiruo subconsciously covered up his words, as he did not want to speak the truth.

The smile of the Poison Sovereign stiffened at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be somewhat unhappy: "Xiruo, do you really not know, or are you pretending to be stupid? That Helian Yunqian is a spirit beast, and in these past few days, I have been sending people to follow you secretly.

Hearing this, Su Xiruo was momentarily unable to calm down.

Not to mention how many times he had saved her, but even though she had rejected Helian Yunqian's confession many times, after such a long time of interaction, she more and more felt that she did not have any feelings of rejection towards him.

On the other hand, when she was with him, she would sink into an uncontrollable joy. She didn't want to hurt the person she was clearly feeling in her heart!

"I'm afraid that my daughter can't do it. Father, please forgive me!"

Su Xiruo's answer was very straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

"Why?" Poison Sovereign's expression did not look good.

"Because …" Su Xiruo stammered, and randomly found an excuse, "My daughter's Spiritual Strength is low, she is not his match, so I am afraid we cannot do this!"

Poison Sovereign let out a light sigh, and her tone became serious. She asked: "Xiruo, tell me, do you like him?"

Hearing this question, Su Xiruo's mind went blank, he did not know how to answer this question.

When she was asked whether she liked Helian Yunqian, her first reaction was actually not to immediately deny it. Scenes of his exquisite face suddenly surfaced in her mind, and those fragmented memories also gradually surfaced!

That's right, she had to admit that she did somewhat like Helian Yunqian, it was just that she didn't realise it herself. Only when she was forced like this by someone, would she be able to clearly recognize the true feelings she had towards him!

However, under these circumstances, Su Xiruo naturally could not admit it in front of the Poison Sovereign: "Father is joking, how could I possibly like him? It's just that he has saved me a few times and his sister and I are good friends for many years.

Poison Sovereign nodded his head, and explained to her: "So that's what you're worried about, then it doesn't matter. Father will tell you, you took Helian Yunqian's Beast Core, and won't take his life.

Su Xiruo's finger bones tightened into a ball, and his heart immediately fell into a dilemma.

She knew that wanting to find a Spirit Beast was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, without the potion, her father wouldn't be able to live much longer.

However, if she were to make a move against Helian Yunqian, she really wouldn't be able to do it. Even if it meant taking her life, she wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

Thus, Su Xiruo immediately knelt down, and spoke with a sincere tone: "Father, you can let me help you climb the mountain of blades and descend the ocean of flames, I can think of another way, and only this matter, I really cannot do it!"

A cold light flashed through Poison Sovereign's eyes, before they turned into helplessness once more, "Forget it, Xiruo, father knows that you are a loyal and loyal person, so since you are unable to do so, father will not force you to do so. Just leave father to fend for himself!"

Because he was emotional, Poison Sovereign started to cough severely. He coughed out blood and looked haggard.

"Father, father, how are you?" Su Xiruo was also very worried.

"No problem, the lifespan of the left will only be one year." The Poison Sovereign looked helpless, "It's better than forcing you to do something you don't want to do."

"Father, your daughter is unfilial!" Su Xiruo's fingernails almost sunk into his flesh as he slowly blamed himself in his heart.

That year, her father had taken care of her and cleaned up a mess for her. But now, even such a small matter was impossible for her to do for her father. She was truly ashamed!

"Never mind, you can go now!" Poison Sovereign waved his hand, obviously a little disappointed.

Su Xiruo was unwilling to leave, and said: "Father, you can leave the matter of the medicinal catalyst to me, but as for the Beast Core, I will definitely think of a way to get it, if I am unable to get it, and then according to what you have said, I will just go and get Helian Yunqian's Beast Core!"

She mustered a great deal of courage to speak these words. Her eyes reddened slightly, and her heart felt extremely sad.

She had to think of a way to obtain a set of s from other places. This way, she could not only save Helian Yunqian, but also save her father's life!

When Poison Sovereign heard her, his expression changed instantly. "My good daughter, quickly get up."

He helped Su Xiruo up, and said earnestly: "Father really isn't forcing you, but now, there's nothing I can do. You're not even full yet, and if Father dies like this, I'm worried that you won't be able to take on the responsibility!"
