Beisitian obtained the Shi Family’s blood, specifically Shi Jianbin’s. Why his alone? Because he was influenced by two kinds of bad water, making it more valuable for reference.
If they can treat Shi Jianbin in passing, it will be a great advantage for any upcoming battles, as the ’Jian’ generation of the Shi Family is quite skilled with the fighting talismans.
Although there wasn’t direct communication between both parties, Beisitian felt that a basic trust could be established. If it were other families or sects, such trust might not be so easily ford.
The next day at noon, Beisitian suddenly felt that the dosage of bad water in the food had nearly doubled. She was startled but continued to discreetly blend the food into liquid and pour it away.
In the afternoon, around three o’clock, just as Beisitian had begun to make so progress in her research on the two kinds of bad water, she heard a loud noise outside, like the sound of an engine.
She stepped out of the house and saw two Jeeps parked in the middle of the village road. Six or seven n got out, all wearing black T-shirts with a teal fla embroidered on the left chest. Paired with black vests, they projected an overwhelming and stifling sense of oppression.
The symbol of the teal fla wasn’t unfamiliar; Beisitian looked at the two vehicles with curiosity.
After the seven or eight n got out, several won imdiately led five children over. Although the distance wasn’t too far, they spoke in hushed tones, so nothing could be overheard.
There was no need for Beisitian to listen. Upon seeing the scene and the complex emotions of indignation and sadness on the Shi Family mbers’ faces, it wasn’t hard to guess what these children’s departure ant.
Among the crowd, Shi Jiantong’s gaze remained fixed on Beisitian, likely because he now knew she was no ordinary person. This ti, he clearly noticed the cold anger flashing in her eyes.
Shi Jiantong felt sowhat reassured, thinking that if Beisitian had no reaction to the scene, that would be the truly frightening scenario, prompting the Shi Family to make plans for a second option quickly.
Beisitian noticed that once she ca out and scanned the area, five discreet gazes were on her. Among them were certainly mbers of the Shi Family as well as so of the seven or eight n.
The won, seeing Beisitian’s curious expression but neither approaching rashly nor showing other emotions, nodded naturally.
Among the seven or eight n, a crew-cut man in his thirties stared at Beisitian for a while, his gaze being the most direct.
"Not bad, keep her around. We’ll probably need her next ti. They’ve needed a lot of goods over there recently, and new goods have just been delivered too. Prepare five rooms," the crew-cut man told the won.
This ti, because there was no deliberate lowering of his voice, both Beisitian and Shi Jianbin, who were nearby, heard it clearly. It was evident the other party no longer considered Beisitian a threat.
Beisitian blinked with a look of re curiosity on her face, though inside, she felt cold. Goods?
The cars drove away quickly. Beisitian, following her usual habit, went into the forest, and no one stopped her. She had consud so much bad water that even if a king arrived, its effects would be unavoidable, ensuring she would return.
This ti, Beisitian carried a satellite phone into the mountains. Since she had been ’assimilated,’ it would be suspicious to test the windows or leave anything open, so she could only call from the mountains.
After Cheng Shuwei received the news, he imdiately dispatched Hawkeye’s n to track them.
"Is everything okay?"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Beisitian, giving her a fright. Turning back, she saw Wei Zhongyuan erge from behind a tree.
"Why are you here?" Beisitian asked, looking around.
Wei Zhongyuan glanced at the lunch box in her hand, and Beisitian imdiately understood; it was he who delivered the als. But why hadn’t he left today?
"Nothing significant, things are going smoothly so far. Try not to approach this area; those people are very vigilant." Beisitian stuffed the remaining food into her mouth, smiled, and prepared to leave.
As Beisitian took a step, she felt a sudden tightness on her wrist. Turning back, she saw Wei Zhongyuan holding her wrist.
"Be careful; I’m nearby. If anything happens, rember to signal!"
It was rare to hear so many words from Wei Zhongyuan, causing Beisitian to smile. "Don’t worry, I’m very cautious about my life." Feeling the grip on her wrist loosen, she walked away without looking back.
Wei Zhongyuan watched her slender figure disappear into the forest and looked down at his hand, recalling the soft touch he felt, so real.
He was truly worried about Beisitian. Originally, no one agreed she should go on this task, but she insisted, and she was the only one who could find a solution to the bad water issue in the shortest ti. She was the best choice.
Even though Wei Zhongyuan knew his presence was risky, he couldn’t sleep until he saw Beisitian safe.
Perhaps she didn’t need his protection because others were watching over her, but he was still willing to watch over silently from the side, to fill in when others couldn’t be there. No matter what, he couldn’t let her co to any harm.
He understood that this guardianship, this waiting, was destined to have no result, but he was willing, without regret.
"Just unfortunate timing," murmured Wei Zhongyuan, turning away.
After passing the information, Beisitian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully, Hawkeye’s n could find the source; if not... would they save those children?
Beisitian closed her eyes; she could only hope for the best.
The matter left her feeling rather uneasy.
As Beisitian passed by Shi Jianbin’s door, Shi Jianbin fell again for the Nth ti, trying to give her a chance to take blood, but today it seed Beisitian didn’t notice him and walked straight back to her room.
Shi Jianbin relied on listening, only standing up after hearing the door of the adjacent room close, realizing Beisitian really didn’t co to take blood. The feeling of being helped up by a goddess was quite delightful, making him fall especially hard.
Didn’t usually feel pain, so why does it hurt so much today?
"Hey, are you alright? Let help you up."
Shi Jianbin twitched the corner of his mouth, "I can get up myself."
It was Shi Jianhua.
"Did you just step on the stool?"
"...I was practicing my balance."
Shi Jianhua glanced at Beisitian’s room and then followed Shi Jianbin inside. The won weren’t interested in the comings and goings of these two.
Perhaps stimulated by the sight of the children, Beisitian remained focused on researching the components of the bad water and redies, finally making a breakthrough at around three in the morning.
