"Hmm, that person is from the East Island Yan Family, and we don't know if it's the sa person who used the Lonely Gu Poison last ti."
Wang Han knew it wasn't a good ti to disturb Tang Rao, so he simply took Zhang Kexin and left.
Tang Rao recounted from beginning to end the appearance of Yan Lin, the grievances between him and Yan Lin, and how Yan Lin went mad and was poisoned, killing wantonly. Bei Lin listened intently, not missing a single word Tang Rao said, which was precisely why her expression was more solemn than ever.
"I originally thought killing his lifebound poisonous insect last ti would lead to his death, yet didn't expect he's still alive!"
Bei Lin never told Tang Rao that the lifebound poisonous insect of the Second Son of Yan Family had died, thinking there would be no further entanglent between Tang Rao and the Second Son of the Yan Family, but didn't expect that even with his lifebound poisonous insect killed last ti, he didn't die and brought Tang Rao so much trouble.
"What do you an by that? Didn't you say once the lifebound poisonous insect dies, the person would die too?"
Tang Rao still recalled this statent, and Bei Lin naturally believed it too. But the unexpected ca too quickly, and they indeed had not foreseen that the Second Son of the Yan Family was still alive.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Second Son of the Yan Family has already figured out how to cultivate two lifebound poisonous insects within his body. Last ti, his lifebound poisonous insect indeed died, but the other one didn't, which saved his life."
Bei Lin felt defeated.
After all, she was only partially trained in this. Last ti, it was already quite challenging to severely injure the Second Son of the Yan Family and kill one of his lifebound poisonous insects. Now, upon hearing that the Second Son of the Yan Family isn't dead and still has one lifebound poisonous insect within him, Bei Lin felt an invisible threat looming over her.
"You shouldn't be too stressed; it's normal for a family like Yan's, who use poisonous insects, to have backups. He can cultivate one lifebound poisonous insect; we'll destroy one for him. If he cultivates two, we'll destroy two, and see whether he cultivates faster or we destroy faster."
Tang Rao felt uncertain but thought since they managed to heavily injure the Second Son of the Yan Family last ti, they could do the sa this ti. Even if not, they should at least give Bei Lin so confidence, otherwise, what's the point if they give up before even confronting the opponent?
"It's not that I'm too stressed, it's just that the opponent is too formidable, and for now, I don't know how to tackle him."
Bei Lin found a place to sit, resting her chin in her hands, clearly pondering how the Second Son of the Yan Family managed to cultivate two lifebound poisonous insects.
One poisonous insect can reign over a hill.
Two insects, naturally, two tigers can't coexist peacefully on one mountain, and would repel each other.
Bei Lin had previously experinted outside the body; this possibility simply didn't exist. She had long given up on the reckless idea of cultivating two lifebound poisonous insects, but now soone actually managed it.
Facing such a formidable enemy, she pondered whether she always considered the Second Son of the Yan Family as the opponent to defeat, but perhaps he never even regarded Bei Lin in his eyes.
"Yan Lin's death, based on your previous descriptions, I can confirm he was poisoned and controlled. As for how the poison was administered, comparing with what I've learned before, it should be a plan laid down by the Yan Family long ago."
The Yan Family ensured anyone entering their household would beco loyal to them. When outsiders wanted to join as servants or guests, the Yan Family would administer poisonous insects, sotis openly, sotis secretly. These insects were undetectable because the Yan Family never activated them. As long as the person remained loyal, the Yan Family treated them well. But if anyone betrayed them, they'd end up as poisonous insect puppets controlled by the Yan Family, forced to carry out actions against their will before being destroyed.
After Bei Lin finished speaking, sweat stread down her face.
"Yan Lin coming privately to North Island and his close relationship with you, regardless if you're enemies or allies, ans he can never be fully trusted. Yan Lin is destined to be a sacrifice between you and the Second Son of the Yan Family. This is undeniable; I just didn't expect that right after you made Yan Lin foolish, the Second Son of the Yan Family would activate the insects in him. It seems he wanted to exploit Yan Lin's madness, yet didn't expect he'd lose out to you."
Bei Lin's analysis aligned with Tang Rao's thoughts. The two exchanged a knowing glance, then fell silent together.
"In your opinion, should we leave the Second Son of the Yan Family aside for now or confront him as soon as possible?"
Bei Lin relied entirely on Tang Rao, who was the commander, and she would execute accordingly.
"I still need to think about this. Your injuries have just healed, and directly confronting him now would do more harm than good, so let's forget about it."
Trading his woman for another's life was not a losing deal Tang Rao was willing to make.
"It's fine; don't we still have Jin Jin? No matter what happens to , Jin Jin can heal ."
Wen Jinjin's dical skills, in Bei Lin's heart, seed truly miraculous.
"Because Jin Jin can heal you, you feel you can act recklessly? What if Jin Jin can't heal you? Have you already forgotten the hardships you endured before?"
Back then, it was unknown who scread loudly during treatnt, insisting on stopping it. Apparently, Bei Lin was soone who healed scars only to forget the pain.
With Tang Rao's reminders, Bei Lin felt a chill, unable to forget the pain endured. She thought at that ti how lucky it was solving the issue with the Second Son of the Yan Family, or she'd continue to endure such suffering.
Unexpectedly now, her 'wish ca true,' though Bei Lin felt troubled and resisted facing such distress. But for Tang Rao, she was willing to endure it again.
"No worries, if it's to kill the Second Son of the Yan Family, enduring that pain once more is nothing."
Did Bei Lin think Tang Rao couldn't see the fear on her face?
Clearly terrified yet afraid to say, did she truly think Tang Rao needed to stand behind a woman, being the type needing female protection?
"Fool, I have my own ways to handle the Second Son of the Yan Family."
Tang Rao might not be adept with insects, but he's skilled in poison, questioning whether insects or poison were fiercer?
Unfortunately, using poison has limitations; he must get close to the vulnerable person. As for how to approach, it's still under consideration.
Despite Tang Rao's words, Bei Lin didn't stop worrying, "Be careful, the Yan Family has many poisonous insect puppets. Today you killed one, but there might be more around, so don't be careless."
