Chapter 1180: Chapter 1182 Good Intentions Bring Good Rewards_1 Chapter 1180: Chapter 1182 Good Intentions Bring Good Rewards_1 Bai Ruozhu had left out one detail, right from the beginning when she heard that Weng An was poisoned by so junior sister and started spending ti with Xiu Cuicui, she felt sothing was amiss.
She hadn’t had a good impression of Weng An and hadn’t expected him to act so quickly.
Xiu Cuicui cried silently, without any expression on her face as if her heart had died and she couldn’t even muster an expression of pain, yet the tears quietly stread down her cheeks.
“He said he wanted to rush back to the Sect to report to our master and ask for my hand in marriage.
I happily left the City with him.
But before we got far, he suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, saying we had been deceived, that his poison had not been cured at all, and he was afraid he’d be unable to accompany for life,” Xiu Cuicui’s face finally showed so expression, a twisted anger.
“I was so nervous for him at that mont.
Even though I had lost most of my inner strength because of him, I imdiately started to transfer my inner strength to him.
But unbeknownst to , he used so kind of sinister technique to fiercely absorb my inner strength.
Before long, I was completely drained of it.
I couldn’t understand why he would do this to , but he said he couldn’t bear losing most of his inner strength; he wanted to make a na for himself.
Without half of his inner strength, he’d rather die, saying that since I loved him so much, I might as well fulfill his wish.”
Bai Ruozhu scoffed coldly.
She should have known Weng An was that kind of person, selfish and manipulative, taking advantage of emotions.
Perhaps the junior sister who poisoned him didn’t do it the way he claid.
Who knows how he had provoked her?
“I told him I would die if he continued, that he could not do this to , but he suddenly turned on , yelling that I professed love for him yet could not sacrifice the slightest for him, calling hypocritical and insincere.
But haven’t I already sacrificed for him?
How much inner strength had I transferred to him along the way?
And he just forgot about that?”
Xiu Cuicui’s bitter laugh was uglier than crying, and blood spurted from her mouth, a sign that her Heart ridian had been damaged.
“I should have realized it long ago.
With so many junior sisters in the Sect fond of him, how could he only have eyes for ?
It was nothing more than my profound inner strength that could sustain his life.
Now that he doesn’t need anymore, he simply drained my inner strength and is ruthlessly disposing of .” Xiu Cuicui’s face turned to one of hatred as she looked at Bai Ruozhu and said, “Young master, you saved my life.
From now on, I am your servant, at your disposal.
Although I’ve lost my inner strength, I have so understanding of the languages of beasts, and perhaps there might be a use for in your service.
It’s just…
I know I have no right to ask for anything, but I hope that one day, you might help take my revenge.”
“Revenge?
That’s your own business.
I never engage in avenging others,” Bai Ruozhu said indifferently.
Xiu Cuicui’s face turned deathly pale as she collapsed, limp.
Indeed, what right did she have to expect vengeance?
“As long as you are alive, you can take your own revenge.
Why should you need anyone else’s help?” Bai Ruozhu continued, “It’s rely a matter of losing inner strength.
Just cultivate it again.
Even if it’s inferior to others’ strengths, you can make up for it in other ways.
As long as you are alive, there’s always a chance.
But if you are dead, everything is but an empty dream.”
Xiu Cuicui showed a look of shock, then quickly understood.
Indeed, why should she lose heart over such a scoundrel?
If her Heart ridian was damaged and she died, how could she pursue vengeance?
Only in living could she seek justice for herself.
At that mont, Xiu Cuicui’s condition had improved quite a bit.
Bai Ruozhu looked at her and asked, “So, what is it?
Do you want to live to avenge yourself, or continue to decline?
If you choose to decline, then I’ll save this pill and avoid wasting it.”
Struggling, Xiu Cuicui crawled and knelt before Bai Ruozhu, kowtowing, “I’ve thought it through.
I want to live and take my revenge!”
Bai Ruozhu nodded and handed her a pill.
“Your body probably needs a month or so to recover.
You should go to Wuyuan City to recuperate.
After I deal with my own affairs, I’ll take you with when I leave,” Bai Ruozhu said, narrowing her eyes, “If one day Weng An cos crying to you for forgiveness, will you soften your heart?”
With a resolute look, Xiu Cuicui said, “Never.
I will flay his skin and gouge out his flesh to feed the dogs!”
Muyu shrank her neck aside and whispered to Chenfeng, “See, won are terrifying.
We better not casually provoke them.”
Like one looking at a fool, Chenfeng gave her a sideways glance and didn’t engage in her comnt.
Following that, Bai Ruozhu disguised herself and, accompanied by Jianqi and a few others, entered Wuyuan City.
Bai Ruozhu and her companions temporarily settled down in Wuyuan City.
Considering the matter might involve the emperor’s secrets, Xiu Cuicui was not arranged to stay with them.
Instead, she was taken to a small yard to recover from her injuries.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed without any news, and Bai Ruozhu started to beco anxious.
Could it be that the Ghost Doctor and his group had not entered Wuyuan City at all?
Had the signals left by Jiang Yichun been tampered with?
Or had she misunderstood his aning?
With the mounting anxiety, sores began to form in Bai Ruozhu’s mouth; by the third day, her mouth was nearly ringed with blisters.
Everyone was deeply worried as they watched on; they all knew she was a doctor, and yet she had ended up like this.
It was clear that this was a ntal distress, born from intense worry.
Just when Bai Ruozhu decided to return to the deep mountains to search, a Shadow Guard ca with news, stating that Xiu Cuicui had discovered sothing and wished to report it to Bai Ruozhu personally.
Bai Ruozhu was feeling irritated and did not want to see Xiu Cuicui, but the Shadow Guard said, “Young master, she’s indeed capable of communicating with animals, and she’s been talking to the cats in the neighboring yard these past few days.”
It was then that Bai Ruozhu rembered Xiu Cuicui’s claim of communicating with animals; she had not paid much attention to it at the ti as she was focused on encouraging Xiu Cuicui to rally.
Now, it seed that Xiu Cuicui might have stumbled upon a clue.
She imdiately went to the yard where Xiu Cuicui was recuperating, and upon seeing her, Xiu Cuicui knelt down respectfully, only to be promptly pulled back up by her.
“What do you have to report to ?” Bai Ruozhu asked anxiously.
“In my boredom while healing these past few days, I talked to the cat in the neighboring yard.
I heard it say that the courtesan there captured three people—a middle-aged man, a young girl, and a severely injured man.
It sounded like it might be the Ghost Doctor and his group, so I wanted to imdiately report to my master,” said Xiu Cuicui.
Bai Ruozhu listened in surprise.
Could Xiu Cuicui really communicate with a cat to this extent?
But what was even more surprising was that the three people were very likely the Ghost Doctor, his daughter, and Jiang Yichun.
She quickly signaled to her people with her eyes and whispered, “Carefully send soone to investigate.
Anyone capable of capturing the Ghost Doctor is not simple.
Don’t alert them.”
“Yes,” responded the law enforcer, and he imdiately took people to investigate.
Before long, the law enforcer returned, saluted Bai Ruozhu, and reported, “Young master, the yard over there was indeed theirs, but the people were moved this morning.
It’s very likely they’ve been transferred to Yicui Building, where the courtesan resides.
I’ve already arranged for people to investigate Yicui Building.”
“Good, get the people ready.
If it’s confird they’re there, we’ll imdiately head to Yicui Building to rescue them,” Bai Ruozhu said excitedly.
She then glanced at Xiu Cuicui again.
It seed that good deeds do get rewarded; by kindly saving Xiu Cuicui, she had the chance to get this critical piece of information.
