Talking about this, Jiang Yichun’s heart ached again; he had brought ruin upon Ruozhu.
"Don’t dwell on it too much, I’ve found the reason." Bai Ruozhu was sowhat excited. "Think carefully, did you ever get your blood on this tree when you were here before?"
She was referring to the black Curse Tree.
Jiang Yichun was a bit dazed, and after a long pause, his expression suddenly changed, "I rember once I flicked blood away, it might have got on that tree, back then the evil energy in wasn’t purged yet."
Why did he rember it so clearly? Because he was wearing specially tailored armor at that ti, and due to soone else, he had a nosebleed.
"It’s your blood that turned it into a Curse Tree, and that’s why I got infected by the curse. It ans your blood is the main problem. If you had been more careful, not letting and the child get your blood on us, we wouldn’t have any issues!" Bai Ruozhu was a bit agitated, having received this news, Achun wouldn’t be so despondent, and wouldn’t be afraid to even touch her anymore?
Jiang Yichun showed a look of surprise, but soon his face stiffened, "Not entirely sure there aren’t other influences, I dare not gamble with your and the child’s safety."
"But..." Bai Ruozhu wanted to say more, but ultimately kept quiet, knowing the key was to help him lift the curse within his bloodline, otherwise he would still face death.
"I was too careless back then, now the hot spring has turned into black water, it’s entirely because of that you were dragged into this." Jiang Yichun said painfully.
Bai Ruozhu lovingly hugged his neck, "You know? Back when we t that monster in the Jiuli Clan, anyone touched by its black qi turned to nothingness, not even bone fragnts were left, except for the Curse Tree absorbing that black qi, I might have ended up as a al for the monster’s belly. Achun, you saved ."
Jiang Yichun knew about this, just back then, the two of them didn’t think in this direction. Hearing her words now, he felt sowhat relieved, perhaps inadvertently he had helped his woman.
"And you don’t need to worry about the hot spring either, it has purifying properties, it should restore soon, otherwise, how could your son clean off his brothers’ poop pebbles and still enjoy himself in it?" Bai Ruozhu bit her teeth as she spoke.
Jiang Yichun couldn’t help but laugh, Little Dengdeng didn’t know what he was thinking, but managed to drive his mother mad.
With his wife still in his arms, he couldn’t bear to let her go and kissed her vermilion lips. Bai Ruozhu hooked her arms around his neck, aware of his concerns, but deciding to push them aside, just wanting to be together, not wasting a single mont.
Under the cover of the forest, the two embraced under the open sky, letting each other beco a part of their own body...
The next day, Xiu Shao and his team proposed to continue observing around the Fire-Thunder Formation. Bai Ruozhu insisted on going this ti; she wasn’t a helpless ordinary woman who should stay hidden in an inn all the ti.
Jiang Yichun couldn’t control his emotions last night, leaving his wife completely satisfied, now regretting and fearing he had aggravated Ruozhu’s curse, feeling guilty towards his wife, so he couldn’t bear to refute whatever Bai Ruozhu said.
So, Gao Zhou rested while Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun accompanied Xiu Shao and them, along with five Jiuli Clan mbers, Bi Tao among them.
Upon arriving, Bai Ruozhu recognized soone from afar, pausing slightly, signaling everyone to hide.
Indeed, it was You ng whom Bai Ruozhu had previously battled.
She used gestures to inform the others that You ng was ahead, and everyone’s expression turned serious. Unable to ascertain You ng’s true strength, and fearing alard conversation would alert him, she chose to remain hidden with everyone, keeping silent.
Being so far away, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t see the color of You ng’s complexion, and didn’t know if his wounds had fully healed.
Previously, the old man and woman Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu saw were standing before You ng, showing great respect and listening attentively to his arrangents.
Bai Ruozhu held her breath, listening carefully for a while, but unfortunately, it was too distant, she couldn’t hear anything.
After a while, the old man and woman bowed to leave, You ng stood with his hands behind his back, looking around the Fire-Thunder Formation, appearing very pleased.
A delicate figure walked over, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but widen her eyes; wasn’t that Fo Lanying?
The woman walked with a slight limp, indicating her leg injury hadn’t fully recovered, just like Fo Lanying?
Jiang Yichun also spotted Fo Lanying, looking towards Bai Ruozhu wanting her opinion. Bai Ruozhu bit her lips tightly, also uncertain now.
Previously she was with Zhou Shixuan’s people who treated her with extraordinary respect and courtesy, claiming it’s because they recognized her, but why was she now with You ng? Surely it couldn’t be such a coincidence?
Moreover, You ng was her biological father, it was reasonable for her to seek him out. But had she deceived them?
What was her intention? Did she gain anything by being around them?
Bai Ruozhu shook her head, Fo Lanying was the second sister-in-law she encountered by chance, helping her greatly. Otherwise, Si Yihuan might have been captured by Zhou Shixuan’s people. And along the way, she gained nothing; Bai Ruozhu only gave her so injury dicine.
Though Bai Ruozhu felt uncomfortable, as again she saw You ng reach out to rub Fo Lanying’s head. Even though the sight wasn’t clear, it could still be seen Fo Lanying smiling at You ng, looking very obedient.
"It’s Fo Lanying." Bi Tao tugged Bai Ruozhu’s sleeve, mouth-motioning, Bai Ruozhu looked at Xiu Shao’s team; sure enough, everyone recognized Fo Lanying.
She vaguely felt Fo Lanying doing this had her own reasons but helped prove nothing at this mont, unable to voice support for Fo Lanying.
She appreciated Fo Lanying’s assistance with her second sister-in-law and treated her as a friend, but since the acquaintance ti was short, she didn’t truly understand her.
In the distance, You ng said sothing, making Fo Lanying laugh, her laughter drifted towards Bai Ruozhu on the wind, making her especially uneasy.
You ng pointed in several directions, seemingly explaining sothing related to the Fire-Thunder Formation.
After a while, You ng supported Fo Lanying out of sight; they seed to head to their camp to rest.
The group breathed a sigh of relief, so even slumped to the ground.
"Fo Lanying is the Quanrong Clan Leader’s biological daughter, Du Fei herself admitted. Now she’s attached to her biological father, likely revealing many Jiuli secrets to the Quanrong people." Soone angrily said.
"Du Fei betrayed the clan and hooked up with the Quanrong Clan Leader; she must’ve spilled Jiuli secrets ages ago; Fo Lanying going there wouldn’t reveal much new." Bai Ruozhu felt blocked, couldn’t help but explain for Fo Lanying.
"Du Fei, that traitor raised by the clan, did such a thing. Her mother and daughter are nothing decent!" The angry young man continued cursing.
