Capítulo 2164: Chapter 2162: Another Poison Expert
I’m afraid Yizi has encountered so danger, and Bai Ruozhu can’t help but feel worried. But Yizi didn’t specifically say which part of the mountains she went to, so how can she be found?
The day after her second brother left, Bai Ruozhu planned to leave the Jiuli Clan to inquire about Yizi’s whereabouts near Duanyang City. However, Lin Ping’er simply wouldn’t let Bai Ruozhu go out, saying that the incident with the Quanrong Clan last ti scared her, and she didn’t want Bai Ruozhu to take risks at this ti.
Bai Ruozhu said helplessly, “Mother, I can’t just hide here for the rest of my life, can I?”
“Stay put for now, don’t run around, we’ll talk about it later.” Lin Ping’er was absolutely determined not to change her mind this ti.
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t persuade her mother, so she had to stay a while longer.
Unexpectedly, Fengcheng, whom she hadn’t seen for several days, suddenly appeared and asked her, “You were planning to leave without saying goodbye, weren’t you?”
“My mother temporarily won’t let go, otherwise I would have said goodbye to you before leaving.” Bai Ruozhu said with her head down.
Fengcheng looked a bit dejected; after the farewell, they might be worlds apart, and it would be extrely difficult to et again in this lifeti, right?
“You don’t need to say goodbye to .” he suddenly said.
Bai Ruozhu looked up at him, it seed he was angry. She felt sowhat uncomfortable, after all, they had been friends, and had gone through life and death together, and now they couldn’t even remain friends.
Unexpectedly, Fengcheng’s following words shocked her.
“I’m coming with you.” Fengcheng t her surprised gaze, and explained sowhat awkwardly, “You need to find a way to break the curse, and I’ve been cursed too. Going with you might help find a solution.”
“But isn’t your task to watch over this place? How can you leave just like that?” Bai Ruozhu asked hurriedly.
Fengcheng’s already pale face turned even whiter, paired with his handso features, he looked even more like a sickly beauty.
He always carried a sense of paleness and solitude, making Bai Ruozhu feel slightly heartbroken every ti she saw him. Yet at this mont, the paleness and solitude he carried seed even heavier, and Bai Ruozhu felt she was being too cruel.
“So much has happened, no one in the Jiuli Clan will be going to the trial center anyti soon, and no one will be touching that monster. So I’m free to wander around a bit.” His voice had deepened considerably.
Bai Ruozhu steeled her heart, not wanting Fengcheng to misunderstand anything, she said, “I’m afraid we’re not heading the sa way. I still have so Comrce Association matters to handle, so I’m not in a hurry to find the way to break the curse.”
“I’m not in a hurry either, after all, I’ve been cursed for so many years, what’s a few more uncomfortable days?” Fengcheng spoke sowhat hastily, fearing Bai Ruozhu might reject him.
“You’re skilled in martial arts and travel quickly, why not go searching all over? Why let yourself suffer needlessly? If you find a way to break the curse, you can always send a ssage via the Comrce Association, I thank you in advance.” Bai Ruozhu forced a smile.
“You…” why won’t you let accompany you?
The words were on Fengcheng’s lips, but he swallowed them back. Was it because he was already an old man? Or had she not forgotten that heartless man?
These words he didn’t dare to ask outright, he felt afraid, an emotion he hadn’t felt in decades.
Bai Ruozhu turned around, “I need to go back to take care of the kids, I’ll definitely say goodbye before I leave.”
Fengcheng reached out but withdrew his hand, silently watching her leave.
A gust of wind blew by, scattering peach blossom petals all over him, adding so color to his figure.
Not long after Bai Ruozhu returned ho, Bi Tao hurriedly ran outside and shouted under the Diaojiao Building: “Sister Ruozhu, sothing’s happened! There’s a woman at the door demanding to see you. She says if you don’t co out, she’ll kill one of your female subordinates, soone nad ‘Zi’.”
Bai Ruozhu was accompanying Dengdeng with drawing. Upon hearing this, she imdiately stood up, quickly instructed Nanny Zhang to take care of Dengdeng and the others, and rushed downstairs.
Jianqi and Muyu hurriedly followed, Bai Ruozhu turned her head and said, “Jing Lei, stay here and guard the house.”
Jing Lei listened and returned inside.
“What’s going on exactly?” Bai Ruozhu asked Bi Tao upon seeing her.
“I just went to see the Clan Leader, didn’t expect there’d be soone yelling outside the barrier. The Clan Leader has the Barrier Jade Pendant, which lets him hear what’s going on outside.” Bi Tao pulled Bai Ruozhu as they walked at a brisk pace, “That woman is quite aggressive and said if you don’t show up within 15 minutes, she’ll kill one of your subordinates, and she wants to see…”
Bi Tao paused in her speech, looking sowhat hesitant to continue.
“Wants to see what?” Bai Ruozhu was anxious, thinking for sure Yizi had been captured by soone. Bi Tao’s hesitation wasn’t helping matters.
“Says she wants to see your husband, Jiang Yichun.” Bi Tao’s voice dropped significantly, fearing Bai Ruozhu would feel embarrassed.
Bai Ruozhu stiffened; she didn’t want to hear this na, the person was gone, yet why would a woman co looking for him? She always knew he attracted won, but didn’t know he was this adept at it!
Her irritation flared up; since the woman was looking for Jiang Yichun, she should go find him instead, why co to her? Did everyone think she was easy to bully?
Her pace quickened involuntarily, Bi Tao hurried to catch up, internally lanting, feeling she shouldn’t have learned any of this, Bai Ruozhu was definitely upset.
When Bai Ruozhu reached the barrier entrance, the Clan Leader and the third elder were already there, having opened an aperture in the barrier to see the situation outside.
“Miss Chao, we can talk this over, but first let go of the young lady. She’s about to be strangled to death.” The Clan Leader said, displeased.
“I said I’d release her if Bai Ruozhu cos out, if she doesn’t, it shows she doesn’t care about her subordinates’ lives. If soone dies, it won’t be my fault.” Chao Xiangman said with righteousness, truly baffling where she learned such logic.
Bai Ruozhu imdiately saw Yizi, who sustained internal injuries and was being strangled to near suffocation by the woman, and she rushed over, feeling heartache.
“Let go of Yizi, whatever it is, co at directly!” Bai Ruozhu said and nodded towards the Clan Leader and the elders, signalling them to open the door to let her out.
The Clan Leader and the third elder, worried, also decided to follow and keep watch. Chao Xiangman sneered, saying, “Bai Ruozhu, you’re such a coward, hiding behind the elders, I have no idea what Jiang Yichun saw in you.”
Bai Ruozhu was already furious, this woman repeatedly ntioning Jiang Yichun was simply challenging her limits.
“I don’t know you at all, seems like you’re not here for , but Jiang Yichun has already left, so you don’t need to bother.” Bai Ruozhu moved her fingers slightly, releasing a bit of poison, planning to save Yizi later.
Unexpectedly, Chao Xiangman looked at her with disdain, saying, “With such paltry poison, you dare flaunt it in front of ? Thinking you can poison , dream on!”
Bai Ruozhu narrowed her eyes, this woman discovered she was using poison, and after speaking, also sneakily released poison, showing she’s evidently an expert in poisons.
Initially, she only wanted to teach this woman a lesson and had no intention to poison her fatally, so she just used so poison that would temporarily restrain her inner strength, not a potent toxin. Unexpectedly, she was ridiculed for it, prompting her to abandon politeness. With this thought, she flicked her nails, releasing a different poison.
