Chapter 28: Heartless and Ruthless

  Murong Cang glared with his eyes, his whiskers twitching, clearly enraged. He followed closely behind Leng Ziyue, painfully watching her rummage through his medicine room, not taking the cheap ones, but instead picking out the rare and precious ones that were his life's work.

  Woe is me... Who made him take on such a precious but troublesome apprentice? Spitting blood is the least of it, alas...

  Leng Xue seemed to have not heard, carefully searching for all the usable medicines in the pharmacy, she was indeed very useful, just last night after leaving the palace, there were already people following her, wanting to take her life.

  Just as she was about to return the favor, the black-clad man who had helped her last time appeared again and efficiently solved the trouble for her. So, she didn't have any interest in staying there to watch the show either, and instead came to Duan Cheng Valley to dig up treasures with her master.

  Although I don't know who that man in black is, since he's helping her and doesn't want anything from her, why not accept it?

  Anyway, there's nothing on her that would make others go all out for, and if he had other intentions, she wouldn't be polite to him either. Someone who is close to her yet doesn't have the slightest bit of killing intent, but instead gives her a familiar feeling, is truly strange and bizarre.

  "Yu'er, you heartless girl, you came back and didn't even say a word to me, only looking for your precious, without any concern for me. You don't know how...!" Mu Rong Cang was so angry that he almost burst with rage.

  "Master, aren't you still doing well? Who has the appearance of being on the verge of death?" Leng Ziyue raised an eyebrow and said very seriously.

  In the past, she followed her grandfather to practice martial arts and cultivate her skills, everything was strict, even smiling was not allowed. When she was very young, she didn't know how to smile, she was good at hiding her emotions, over time, she became very indifferent, having no desires or demands for anything.

  However, after her rebirth, Leng Xueyu discovered that she could live freely and naturally, just like now, joking with Murong Cang and teasing him until he jumped in fright, which she found particularly amusing.

  "Cough, stinky girl, your master is very long-lived." Murong Cang sat down on the chair with a plop, picked up his tea and started drinking. Even if he wasn't following Leng Ziyue's side, he knew that her side was fraught with danger, and he couldn't help but worry. "They didn't take your life, they won't give up easily."

  She is such a beautiful and lovely girl, how can there be so many people who cannot tolerate her, it's really hateful.

  "Master, do you think I'm a useless disciple just because they can move me? " Leng Ziyue sneered disdainfully, not boasting that even if those people came again in double the number, they still couldn't hurt her.

  "Haha, worthy of being my Poison Saint's disciple, so domineering, I like it." Murong Cang was taken aback, then burst out laughing. This girl's learning ability is too astonishing, even he himself was startled.

  Whether it's medicine or poison, as long as she is taught once, she can immediately grasp the underlying principles and even come up with new ideas. The internal skills and mental methods only need to be said once, and she can remember them firmly. As for martial arts moves, as long as they are demonstrated in front of her once, she can master them to a high level, and her mastery is extremely quick.

  Teach her martial arts, but in just a short half month, her skills are such that unless they're top-notch masters, they can't really do anything to her.

  "That's for sure, and you don't even see who my master is." Leng Ziyue smiled with a pursed lip, she knew that Murong Cang was a very lonely old man, just like a child, needing someone to accompany him and coax him.

  He teased her, swaying back and forth in front of her, just wanting her to talk to him, chat with him.

  In Leng Xue's heart, Murong Cang was the first person to care about her and show concern for her since she arrived in this different world.

  "Smelly brat, stop putting on airs in front of me. If you want to use the Regent King of Beihanguo to get rid of Beitang Xiner, the only way is to help him cure his queen. That way, no matter what conditions you propose, he will agree." Murong Cang stroked his beard, with a look that said "I understand everything".

  Leng Xueying's figure flashed, and she sat down opposite Murong Cang, asking: "Master, do you know about the Regent King's situation? Why did his queen fall into a deep sleep?"

  According to the news brought back by the eunuchs, the situation of the Regent's wife is just like that of a modern-day vegetative state, with breathing but unable to move or speak, an almost living dead person.

  "That's because she was poisoned by the Fire Lotus, which made her sleepwalk and live in her own world." When Murong Cangyun arrived at Beihan State, he saw the imperial edict. Even if he could save her, why would he want to go and rescue her?

  That person has nothing to do with him and doesn't want to bother.

  Leng Xue'er rolled her eyes coquettishly, this side of her was only revealed in front of Murong Cang. In fact, she wasn't someone who liked to interfere with others' business either, it seemed that this opportunity was specially reserved for her.

  "Master, you have a way to detoxify." She used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one.

  "With your cleverness, the creation of poison and its antidote are just a matter of time. As long as you obtain the green sprout bacteria and combine it with the Flying Cloud Acupuncture technique I'll teach you, this poison will be cured." Murong Cang stroked his beard, for under the heavens, there was no poison he couldn't cure.

  "Heh heh, I see. It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Black Forest myself. Who knows, maybe I'll even gain some unexpected benefits." Leng Ziyue blinked her eyes, as it was said that the place grew all sorts of herbs and had many spiritual medicines that couldn't be found outside.

  The weirdness of Black Forest has been circulating for more than one or two days.

  "Xiao Yu, be careful where you're going." In the days of getting along with Leng Ziyue, Murong Cang was very clear that this girl's decisions were not something anyone could change.

  He can't always be there to help her, sooner or later he will die, only by letting her grow up and become unbreakable is the most important thing.

  It's okay to help out in private.

  "Don't worry, I'll be extra careful." How could she have given up so early? She hasn't even had her revenge yet. It's better to live a life of resentment than to die a good death.

  Until the azure figure disappeared on the emerald lake, Murong Cang shook his head and muttered: "I don't know if that girl has finished eating the marrow-washing pill or not, maybe I should go refine some more, just in case she doesn't have enough to eat..."

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  "Hiss, tomorrow is the day you marry the fourth princess, why must you choose to go to the Black Forest today? Don't you know how dangerous it is there?" Baili Changjian really wanted to hit someone. At the palace banquet, Leng Ziyue played a tune called "Ten-Faced Ambush", and the kind of woman who could play such a tune was not weak or timid at all - she had deceived everyone."

  But he didn't understand why his father didn't punish her for her disrespect, and even the Empress Dowager remained silent on this matter.

  "Don't fight anymore, look over there." Jing Chang pointed to the front where a piece of jade flower forest was located. Passing through that forest would lead to the entrance of the Black Forest.

  October is the time when the chrysanthemum flowers are in full bloom, and although the dark forest is dangerous, it does not lack scholars and poets who come here to admire the snow-like chrysanthemums.

  Zhang Xiao raised his head and looked in the direction of his fingers, for a moment, the expression on his face became very strange. He knew he had wronged Leng Ziyue and hurt her. But that day on the painting boat, he blocked the sword for her, and in her eyes, he could no longer see the love she had for him, as if she had never known him before.

  At the banquet, she was playing the pipa, and he felt so strange. Suddenly, he wondered if it was him who didn't recognize her.

  Is she really his Yu'er? If so, why can't he find her figure again?

  "Bei Tang Xiner is going to openly and brazenly make a move on Leng Ziyue, tsk, she's really ruthless. Jing Changke furrowed his brow, a hint of disdainful smile playing on the corner of his mouth, thirty to one, the gap was a bit too big."

  "I want to stop her." Regardless of whether Leng Ziyue had changed or not, Zhang Xiao didn't wish for her to get hurt.

  "Zhang Xiao, have you gone mad? She's not the same person anymore. Have you forgotten how she treated you?" Baili Changjian grabbed Zhang Xiao. If Beidou Xiner could kill Leng Ziyue, it would be no loss to him.

  It wasn't the original her, Zhang Xiao hesitated, his eyes didn't know where to look, he just felt very confused, what was true and what was false, he really couldn't tell anymore.

  Bei Tang Xin'er held a long sword in her hand, pointing at Leng Ziyue and said: "Today is your day of death, don't think about leaving alive."

  Tomorrow is her and Zhang Xiao's wedding, no mistakes can be made. She doesn't know what Leng Ziyue has in his hand that makes him so confident, but she knows one thing - no one is allowed to take away the man who belongs to her.

  This woman must die.

  The thirty people behind her were all the dead warriors she had privately transferred from the Queen Mother, and she didn't believe that she couldn't kill a cold Ziyue. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she would never leave alive.

  Digression

  Momo, sincerely hope to break 1000 soon, and wait for the second update of the thorny road.
