Chapter 1394: Chapter 1396: Reincarnation Poison, Could It Be Him?_1 Chapter 1394: Chapter 1396: Reincarnation Poison, Could It Be Him?_1 “No…” Before she could finish, he said with a stern face, “Don’t deny it, don’t lie to .”
She stuck out her tongue and said, “But I didn’t see anything, I had my eyes closed the whole ti, ‘look not upon unseemliness,’ you know.”
Of course, she had seen his chest and neck, but to her, a modern person, what was the big deal?
Weren’t n at swimming pools and beaches always bare-chested?
Jiang Yichun’s face was still dark as he said, “I had no idea when you were keeping that secret, you actually had another man in there with you.
Do you think I would let you off so easily?”
Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, “Don’t think wild thoughts, he was knocked out by , completely unaware of that place, and I only dared to let you know.
Have you forgotten about that ti in the mountains outside Anyuan Town?
That was when I saved you, and you’ve already been there.”
At the ntion of that ti, Jiang Yichun’s gaze softened a bit.
She didn’t know any martial arts back then, and with such a young child, she had risked her life to save him.
How could he forget?
“It’s fine for the past, but don’t treat n like that in the future.” His tone had eased, but he turned his head away, appearing to still be sulking.
Bai Ruozhu was amused by his behavior, looking every bit like a proud and jealous jar of vinegar.
That night, Chu Hai and Hao Feng were busy wiping down Fen Wan’s body, nearly the whole night through.
However, the two of them were excited and thrilled in their hearts because they saw a glimr of hope for Fen Wan’s survival.
Even as Bai Ruozhu had said, even if Fen Wan survived, she might end up with so serious health issues, but wasn’t life all about hope?
Bai Ruozhu got up early to check on Fen Wan.
Before she reached the door, she saw Chu Hai coming out of the next room, holding the tiny Zhanna.
Zhanna’s face bead with an exceptionally brilliant smile.
Chu Hai placed Zhanna on the outdoor lounge chair and said, “You sunbathe here, I’m going to rest for a bit.
If you need anything, call the nearby guards for help.”
Zhanna’s large eyes followed Chu Hai, “Big Brother Chu, your eyes are all red from tiredness.
Go rest, and thank you!”
As Chu Hai turned to head back to his room, he noticed Bai Ruozhu and quickly said with a smile, “Co and see, she’s much better.”
Bai Ruozhu smiled at Zhanna and followed Chu Hai into the room.
Hao Feng, being older, was already exhausted and sleeping on a soft lounge nearby.
Bai Ruozhu checked on Fen Wan and indeed saw so signs of life returning, a good sign.
“Last night, we wiped away a lot of toxic residue.
At first, Master and I were both startled,” said Chu Hai in a hushed voice to avoid waking Hao Feng.
Bai Ruozhu looked around the room and asked, “How will you rest later?
Why not tidy up a guest room nearby?”
Chu Hai hurriedly shook his head, “I’d rather keep watch here, so I can be at ease; otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.
These past years, I haven’t been able to attend to my mother; now, a bit of hard work doesn’t matter.”
After hearing this, Bai Ruozhu didn’t insist.
She simply said, “Then you must also take good care of yourself.
If you fall ill, not only will you fail to care for your mother, you’ll also trouble .”
“I know,” Chu Hai said softly.
As Bai Ruozhu was about to leave, she paused and asked in a low voice, “What do you think of Zhanna?”
Chu Hai was taken aback, “Why do you ask all of a sudden?”
“Chu Hai, you’re a decent person, just a bit cold by nature, which makes you extrely slow when it cos to matters of the heart.
You didn’t handle your relationship with Diao Yao well before; you let her misunderstand for a long ti.
Zhanna is a pitiful girl; if you have no feelings for her, don’t let her get the wrong idea,” Bai Ruozhu cautioned.
Chu Hai was stunned and spoke absentmindedly, “I also felt her life was filled with hardships, which is why I wanted to take extra care of her.
In my eyes, she’s just like Xiaoyao, a child who needs looking after.”
“But Zhanna might not see it that way, you’d better watch your own boundaries,” Bai Ruozhu said before leaving the room.
In fact, Chu Hai was a decent person.
Despite his coldness, he didn’t despise Bai Ruolan who had beco ntally challenged, and he took very good care of her, which showed his innate kindness.
But even good people can make mistakes, and the current situation could easily lead to misunderstandings from Zhanna.
If the two of them couldn’t end up together, it would be another heavy blow for Zhanna.
She also thought about Bai Ruolan, who also seed to like Chu Hai quite a bit.
…
Inside the Holy Hall, a Holy Guard reported in panic, “Great Elder, the eighth elder is in a bad state, he bleeds upon touch, and…
and…”
“And what?” The great elder’s face darkened, why were all the people close to him running into trouble?
Could it be the handiwork of the second elder?
“A Holy Guard who ca into contact with his blood today is now in the sa condition as the eighth elder, and so is his maid,” the Holy Guard added cautiously, suggesting that it seed like a contagious disease.
“What?
I’ll go take a look,” the great elder stood up and hurried outside.
Outside, Xuan Jizi ca forward to greet him, “Great Elder, are you heading out?”
The great elder didn’t respond and hastened towards the eighth elder’s quarters, with Xuan Jizi feigning concern as he followed.
Entering the eighth elder’s room and seeing both the poisoned Holy Guard and maid, the great elder seed utterly disconcerted.
Upon exiting the room, he walked back as if in a daze, muttering to himself, “Why does it seem so familiar?
Fen Wan is dead, isn’t she?
Could it be him…”
Xuan Jizi listened closely, speculating that the last “him” was certainly not referring to Fen Wan, as the great elder’s tone confird her death.
Thus, “him” was likely another person who knew about the cycle of poison.
He thought he should find a way to inform Bai Ruozhu and decided to discuss it with Lin Lian who was primarily servicing Honglian at that ti.
Lin Lian was staring agape at Honglian practicing so magic technique, but she believed it must be an evil technique since the way of cultivation was too strange.
The atmosphere in the room was always sinister, which made her desperate to escape as soon as possible.
The great elder wasn’t against Xuan Jizi and Lin Lian eting, so his arrival gave Lin Lian a great excuse to leave Honglian’s room.
After she left, the corners of Honglian’s mouth lifted slightly, and the seals ford by her fingers subtly changed.
Xuan Jizi took Lin Lian to the back garden.
Seeing no one around, he spoke hastily, “I just…”
With a glance, Lin Lian silenced him, noting too that there was nobody around.
Yet, for so reason, she always felt as if being watched, which made her think of Honglian’s evil techniques, and her heart instantly tensed.
“Did the great elder give you any dicine just now?” Lin Lian signaled with her eyes, “How can we ever take our revenge this way?
I wish I could tear Lin Zhu to pieces myself, yet they keep saying to wait.
When will it ever end?”
“Don’t be so anxious.
I will definitely help you get your revenge,” Xuan Jizi didn’t know what was going on, but he was quick to respond and went along with the act Lin Lian put on.
Back in the room, Honglian chuckled and retracted the movent of her hands.
