Night.
Mo Yanchi was invited by the village chief, and he brought the students to the village to have a communal al.
Bai Zhi’er noticed that the cooks were all n.
She jokingly asked Mo Yanchi.
"Master, are there no won in this village? We’ve been here so long and haven’t seen their wives or daughters."
Mo Yanchi was savoring the after-al tea and smiled: "I asked the village chief too, and he said that due to the recent severe drought, those who have wives and daughters at ho have sent them to nearby towns."
"Staying in the village ans not only having no access to clean water, but also not earning any silver, so they let their wives take the children to towns to find work."
"These villagers are simple and live quite hard lives. Little disciple, you must see, there are still many people in the world in need of help."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi’er’s red lips curled into a gentle smile.
"Master is right, I will indeed take good care of them."
A mischievous glimr flashed in her eyes.
Hmph, taking care of them, these villagers are surely up to so sinister plots. Just wait and see!
As Mo Yanchi and the students were having their als, Village Chief Huang Buren secretly observed from the side.
He needed to ensure everyone ate the food they poisoned.
A group of villagers specifically invited the guarding Xiu Luo Envoys to also eat so.
Guoguo and Lei Hu shook their heads, politely declining.
But the villagers were extraordinarily warm.
Eventually, Feng Fuce nodded slightly: "Eat a bit, lest you get hungry during the patrol tonight."
With Marquis’s instructions, the Xiu Luo Envoys sat down and started eating.
Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce exchanged a long-distance glance across the crowd.
This mutual understanding was noticed by Ge Qian.
Tsk! Princess and Marquis Wan, flirting like this in front of everyone, and nobody even noticed!
The more she thought about it, the less happy she felt. Coming out this ti, she was constantly restrained and supervised by the Xiu Luo Envoys.
At ho, her father wouldn’t bear to discipline her like this.
Just today alone, she was stopped several tis by that Guoguo person.
Ge Qian was sowhat angry, so she simply put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.
Bai Zhi’er was letting faint light flow from her sleeve’s fingertips, invisible to ordinary people.
This light covered the food they were eating, ensuring Mo Yanchi and others wouldn’t be hard by the villagers’ poison.
Additionally, it would ensure they sleep soundly until early the next morning.
After finishing the al, Mo Yanchi thanked Village Chief Huang Buren for his hospitality several tis.
Bai Zhi’er only felt that Village Chief Huang was smiling insincerely and very perfunctory.
She scoffed inwardly.
Tomorrow, we’ll expose these villains’ deeds and catch them red-handed!
The students all felt a bit sleepy and returned to their rooms.
Third Young Master, struggling against drowsiness, rubbed his brow.
"Sister, co back with brother, it’s getting late, I don’t feel comfortable leaving you out here wandering alone."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his legs gave out, and he collapsed.
Luckily, Sixth Prince was beside him and caught Bai Yaoyu.
Sixth Prince effortlessly hoisted Third Young Master onto his shoulder.
Then, he looked at Bai Zhi’er with cold yet intense eyes: "Sister, Third Brother is useless, co with ."
Bai Zhi’er chuckled, sowhat curious: "Sixth Brother, aren’t you sleepy?"
It shouldn’t be, her magic should have started working by now.
Sixth Prince shook his head: "Not sleepy at all, feeling great, can chat with you all night without a problem."
However, upon returning to their room.
Sixth Prince placed Third Young Master on the bed, but before he could say a word, he himself plopped down stiffly.
