"Um?"
Bai Can covered his mouth in alarm: "What...what are you doing? I'm the one being forced! Why are you looking at me like I'm a slut?"
Yin Wuxiao revealed his cold, white teeth: "You dare say you were forced? The mighty God of Thieves, lost his mind because of a little aphrodisiac? Who would believe that?"
"I..." Bai Can looked at the two men behind Yin Wuxiao with a wronged expression, Baili Qingyi and Xuan Hegu, but the two of them pretended to study the spider web on the wall.
Now that things have come to this, what are you planning to do?
"I...I've always wanted to do this, but she doesn't want to, so what can I do!" Bai Can roared.
Yin Wuxiao pursed his lips, smiled, and raised the corners of his mouth backward: "Miss Cui, don't you think this makes sense?"
Cui Shenghan had her disguise removed by Xuan Hegu, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. At this moment, she was leaning against the wall with her pressure points sealed, her face showing a mixture of anger and shy embarrassment.
"Huh?" Bai Can only then noticed Cui Shenghan behind Yin Wuxiao, and his handsome face quickly turned red.
"Miss Cui?" Yin Wuxiao waved his hand in front of her. He hadn't struck her pressure point to silence her, so why wasn't she saying anything?
Baili Qingyi then spoke up, "Miss Cui, now that you are pregnant, I will no longer pursue the past. However, there is one question I need Miss Cui to answer: What is your purpose in disguising yourself and infiltrating the Qiongjiao sect?"
Cui Shenghan stared coldly at the three people in front of her, and after a long while, she uttered a sentence: "My master ordered me to monitor the movements of the Qiong Sect and to act as their inside agent at any time."
What does he want to do?
"He's not just thinking about doing something, he's already doing it. Right now, Baiwen Manor should be surrounded by the imperial army."
Chapter Thirteen: Sharing a Bed to Sleep Facing the Mountains (Part Six)
Unexpectedly, General Canghu of the Jiangnan Cavalry Camp was actually a person without a trace.
The master of "Wuhen" spread the news to the Qiong Sect, saying that the Divine Physician's "Hundred Questions Medical Classic" was actually the "Sacred Poison Classic" that the Qiong Sect had lost seventy years ago, which attracted all the elites of the Qiong Sect. And Hundred Questions Valley is like a huge trap; once you fall into it, it is difficult to escape.
This time, the trap was successfully set on Baili Qingyi, which was indeed unexpected by the owner of "Wuhen".
What good would it do for "Wuhen" if it only caused a dispute between the imperial court and the Qiongjiao sect?
Baili Qingyi smiled bitterly: "This place is where the Three Rivers and Five Lakes meet, which is exactly the jurisdiction of the Qiao Gang. General Canghu of the Jiangnan Cavalry Camp has always been known for his loyalty to the Qiao Gang. Once this happens, the blame will definitely be placed on the Qiao Gang."
“General Canghu is a man of fierce integrity and upright character; he could never be one of the ‘Traceless’ people,” Yin Wuxiao said with certainty.
"Then how do you explain that 'Wuhen' was able to mobilize several thousand elite troops from the Jiangnan Cavalry Camp?"
Yin Wuxiao was speechless.
“If the leader of the Qiong Sect dies at the hands of Qiao Bang, the Qiong Sect will definitely launch a large-scale southward invasion, and the turmoil in the martial arts world thirty years ago will inevitably be repeated.” Baili Qingyi said solemnly.
Yin Wuxiao glanced at him: "Aren't you the number one expert in the world?"
Baili Qingyi was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "Let alone the countless masters in the world, even if I were truly the number one master in the world, I would only be able to kill a few hundred people before I would be exhausted."
"Then..." Her eyes darted around again, "If you're willing to sacrifice your looks and throw a few flirty glances in front of the enemy lines..."
Baili Qingyi's face turned slightly pale.
"Just kidding, just kidding," she laughed it off.
Baili Qingyi took a breath: "The only solution now is to seek help from the nearest Qiao Gang headquarters to stop Cang Hu from attacking Baiwen Manor."
"Then what are we waiting for? Please, young master in blue, set off as soon as possible." Xuan Hegu took two steps forward.
Baili Qingyi slowly turned her head and looked at Yin Wuxiao: "Qiao Fenglang, the leader of the Qiao Gang, is a very suspicious person."
"so?"
“If an ordinary person goes there, he will certainly not send anyone to help immediately.”
Yin Wuxiao suddenly understood his intention.
"No!" Just as she was about to refuse, someone shouted out what she was thinking first.
And that person was Xuan He.
"Why?" Baili Qingyi didn't seem surprised by his reaction.
"The poison in her body hasn't been cured yet!" Xuan Hegu blurted out.
Yin Wuxiao's expression changed.
"This is none of your business!"
"You are the man who caused Aunt Nan to get pregnant and wander the streets, you are the man who caused her a lifetime of suffering!"
After a struggle, all sorts of pain, helplessness, heartache, and guilt surged onto Xuan Hegu's face, yet he still maintained a resolute expression.
"Yes, it was me! I was the one who made her abort the child, but that child inherited the poison from her, and would definitely be crippled if born. What use would it be? I was doing it for her own good! Besides, she was the one who left first!"
Yin Wuxiao glared at him coldly: "No, you were the one who left first. You didn't want your child. You didn't chase after her after she left, letting her suffer outside."
“You…” Xuan He’s lips trembled, as if he had some difficult emotions that he couldn’t find an outlet for.
Tell me, are you...my daughter?
"Your daughter? Didn't you never want your daughter?" Yin Wuxiao said sarcastically.
"But...you've grown up so much, you're still mine..."
“I didn’t,” Yin Wuxiao interrupted him coldly. “Your daughter was lost twenty years ago during your wanderings.” She stared straight at him. “You have indirectly succeeded in killing her.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan He swayed slightly, saying in disbelief, "I... I always thought I had a child..."
"And...what about her?" he pressed on, unwilling to give up.
The answer he received shattered his spirits.
A look of sorrow welled up in Yin Wuxiao's eyes: "Aunt Nan, she's dead too."
"Divine Doctor, do you have a way to cure the Gu poison in her body?" Baili Qingyi asked softly, her back to Yin Wuxiao.
Xuan He was still immersed in unbelievable grief, and it took him a long time to answer: "She won't let me take her pulse, how can I save her?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Qingyi walked to Yin Wuxiao's side and quickly pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep.
"Please take my pulse, miracle doctor."
Xuan He smiled slightly. He liked Baili Qingyi's decisive and efficient style.
He stared at Yin Wuxiao, who was resting against the wall. Although this little girl wasn't Yu Nan'er's daughter, she possessed a remarkably similar air about her. He could sense how devotedly Yu Nan'er had raised this girl; he knew that Yu Nan'er had long regarded Yin Wuxiao as her own daughter. Although Yin Wuxiao hated him, he felt a strange empathy for her and showed her more concern.
Xuan sighed, "This person has been gone for more than twenty years. Why is it that now, when I recall him, every frown and smile is still so vivid in my mind?"
Or perhaps he really did make a mistake back then.
"Young master in blue, I can see your feelings for this girl. Now let me ask you, are you willing to risk your own life to save her?"
Baili Qingyi was taken aback.
He fell silent, hesitating.
He was naturally willing to pay any price to ensure her health and safety, but he could not forget the responsibility he carried—the responsibility to the entire martial arts world.
Would he dare to trade his life for hers?
Baili Qingyi smiled bitterly; his life wasn't even his own.
Xuan He looked at him with obvious disappointment.
He was the same way back then. A man's willingness to sacrifice for a woman is always limited. What he is willing to sacrifice may not be what the woman needs, and what the woman truly wants, he is unwilling to give.
Xuan He waved his hand and said, "I was just asking you. Saving her doesn't require your life."
Upon hearing this, Baili Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"But this method of detoxification is not much different from taking your life."
"The 'Unfulfilled Desire' in Yin's body is a Gu poison that Nan'er and I developed together back then. It is completely different from the 'Unfulfilled Desire' in the Qiong Sect's 'Sacred Poison Scripture'. I have been researching its antidote for many years before I made any progress. To cure this Gu, it is necessary to administer the blood of a black-armored snake, and then have a master with extremely strong internal energy sacrifice half of his own cultivation to guide the black-armored snake blood to circulate nine times in her body."
Xuan He stared intently at Baili Qingyi with bright eyes: "Are you willing or not?"
Baili Qingyi nodded: "I agree."
Xuan He lowered his eyes and said, "My black armored snake is currently in the snake pit in the back mountain, guarded day and night by the Qiong Sect members. Go and fetch it now."
"But how do we get out of this underground palace?"
“I built this underground palace myself, so I naturally know how to get out.” Xuan He then explained to him in detail how to leave the underground palace without disturbing anyone, and how to return without disturbing anyone.
Baili Qingyi took a few steps and heard Xuan Hegu say behind her:
"Young Master in Green, please reconsider my first question. Although you don't need to make a choice today, one day you will inevitably have to decide between the responsibilities on your shoulders and the girl Yin."
Chapter Thirteen: Sharing a Bed to Sleep Facing the Mountain (Part Seven)
Yin Wuxiao vaguely saw Aunt Nan walking gracefully towards him and asked, "Are you really not going to allow it?"
She vaguely saw Qiao Fenglang watching her from afar again, his gaze both familiar and strange. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
A light cough broke the mood.
"It's me."
She hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see Bai Can's large face.
She composed herself and asked, "Is Miss Cui feeling any better?"
"Much better."
Have you talked to her about the future?
"future?"
Yin Wuxiao sighed: "You're about to have a child, how can you not think about the future?"
Bai Can remained silent, his usually jovial and sarcastic face now showing signs of fatigue.
"Little Wu'er, tell me, does Cui Cui truly love me?"
Bai Can always called her Xiao Wu'er, and Yin Wuxiao never made him change his address.
Seeing that he rarely asked such a question, Yin Wuxiao said seriously, "I don't know."
