"You actually used poison, how despicable. Do all Zhongyuan people not understand a fair duel?" Luzhi shouted, his eyes full of disdain.
Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, "So, the First Samurai is also just a na, only talking about rules and reputation. It’s a wonder you’ve lived till now."
At this mont, soone secretly attacked Bai Ruozhu, but unfortunately hit her magic technique’s defensive cover, unable to hurt her at all.
"Talk about fairness, and yet the First Samurai has to rely on secret attacks?" she mocked.
Luzhi’s face turned ashen with rage, "If you hadn’t despicably poisoned , why would my subordinates take action?"
"So, the reason you’ve lived till now isn’t due to your skills as the First Samurai, but because of these subordinates secretly protecting you? What’s the difference between you and a flower in a greenhouse?" Bai Ruozhu’s face showed even more sarcasm, not guarding against arrogance, calling her despicable for using poison against an enemy?
Luzhi didn’t quite understand what she ant by "greenhouse," but he guessed the aning, his lips trembling with anger, "So you’re here specifically to assassinate ? That’s why you disguised yourself like this and poisoned as soon as you ca in?"
"Think whatever you want, since you’re disrespectful to , I don’t need to be courteous either. We Zhongyuan people believe in reciprocity, are Fusang people that rude?" Bai Ruozhu returned Luzhi’s earlier words back at him.
Luzhi, paralyzed by poison, dared not move, his subordinate’s strike failed, so they imdiately guarded him, and three other hidden ninjas also ca out to attack Bai Ruozhu, but she dodged them all.
Lord Xinye and Sa Tian were both anxious, exchanged a glance, then Lord Xinye suddenly moved and then fell heavily onto the bed.
"Ow, my leg..." Lord Xinye cried out in pain, Luzhi hurriedly glanced at him, Sa Tian said next to him, "Let’s all calm down and let Lord Bai take a look at Lord Xinye. If the leg bone isn’t set properly, it might beco permanently disabled."
Lord Xinye secretly glared at Sa Tian, using him as an excuse was fine, but did he have to say it so cruelly?
Luzhi frowned and ordered the dark guards to retreat.
Bai Ruozhu ignored him and started examining Lord Xinye.
To check bone-setting requires touching, an experienced doctor can tell the bone alignnt with a few touches.
"Expose the leg," Bai Ruozhu said.
Lord Xinye quickly lifted the blanket and surreptitiously glanced at Luzhi, afraid that Luzhi might suddenly attack Bai Ruozhu.
But when he realized his thought, he felt extrely ashad, Luzhi was his savior, he swore loyalty to Luzhi for life, why was he worried about Bai Ruozhu now?
Besides, Luzhi was poisoned, and he should know that Lord Luzhi wouldn’t resort to sneak attacks.
While he was distracted, Bai Ruozhu already took out a pair of gloves from her sleeve, put them on, and started palpating his thigh bone.
The small hands suddenly touched his thigh, and Lord Xinye’s mind buzzed, all previous thoughts disappeared, leaving his head completely empty.
Even with gloves, the sensation was very clear, Lord Xinye’s face grew redder, his body tensed, both his posture and expression were very unnatural.
Sa Tian snickered quietly, turns out Lord Xinye was quite shy.
Bai Ruozhu only felt a little, made so adjustnts, causing Lord Xinye to stifle a groan, snapping him out of the charming atmosphere.
"Alright, find a clamboard to fix it, it was slightly crooked just now," Bai Ruozhu said, withdrawing her hands and removing her gloves.
"What clamboard?" Lord Xinye asked absentmindedly, wondering what was wrong with him.
"I know, I’ll go find one," Sa Tian hurried out.
Now, the room only had a glaring Luzhi, a dazed Lord Xinye, and Bai Ruozhu ignoring them completely.
"Give the antidote, considering you treated Lord Xinye, I’ll let this go," Luzhi suddenly said.
Bai Ruozhu glanced at him coldly, "There’s no antidote, not everyone who poisons prepares an antidote too."
"You’re... randomly murdering people!" Luzhi said, his lip’s mustache twitching with anger.
"Those who have murderous intentions towards , I must strike first. Is the First Samurai a saint who never kills?" Bai Ruozhu found it increasingly amusing, the First Samurai might as well be one of Danliang Country’s most pedantic old scholars.
Luzhi was at a loss, Lord Xinye hurriedly said, "Lord Bai, Lord Luzhi is upright and straightforward, please detoxify him."
Bai Ruozhu glanced at Lord Xinye, "You’re suggesting I’m unscrupulous and narrow-minded?"
"I didn’t an..." Lord Xinye tried to explain but was interrupted by Luzhi, "Xinye, don’t beg her!"
At this ti, Sa Tian returned with two wooden boards, noticing the tense atmosphere, he quickly said, "Got them, Lord Bai quickly binds Lord Xinye, or he’ll beco a cripple."
Bai Ruozhu laughed, Lord Xinye’s face turned red, Sa Tian was really enjoying mocking him today.
"It’ll hurt a bit, bear with it," Bai Ruozhu said as she took the clamboard and swiftly secured Lord Xinye, indeed causing him pain, his face turned pale, but he didn’t cry out this ti.
A samurai, after all, doesn’t cry out from such small pain, the earlier cries were just to stop Bai Ruozhu and Luzhi from clashing.
Bai Ruozhu clapped her hands, turned and said to Sa Tian, "I’ve fulfilled my promise to you, I’ll take my leave now."
Sa Tian hesitated, but before he could respond, Bai Ruozhu had already turned to leave, watching her silhouette, Lord Xinye hurriedly said to Luzhi, "My lord, don’t worry, I will obtain the antidote."
Luzhi’s face turned dark, "No need, it’s already fine."
"Ah?" Lord Xinye didn’t understand, "How can you not? Without detoxifying, what if the poison harms your body?"
Luzhi’s mouth tightened, humming, "The poison is already neutralized!"
Sa Tian let out a sigh of relief, he knew Lord Bai was rational, just teaching Luzhi a lesson, not truly poisoning him.
But Luzhi’s mood was truly not good at the mont, he didn’t know when he was poisoned but felt its effect. Throughout, he kept a close watch on Bai Ruozhu, yet couldn’t see her neutralize it, while Lord Xinye and Sa Tian beside him weren’t poisoned, how did Bai Ruozhu do it?
Could she have used a demonic thod?
Luzhi’s eyes showed caution, yet also a hint of admiration. Though he disliked that arrogant woman, he had to admit she was indeed capable.
