His face was concealed under the hood, making it impossible to discern his features. Suddenly, he erupted into laughter, causing a slight shiver in Su Yingxues frame.
The laughter was faint and elusive, almost like a figment of Su Yingxues imagination.
Suddenly, she heard the mans voice, which was filled with vicissitudes of life and vigor, Child, youve come.
A child? iscover nw chaptrs n n0e(l)bi(.)com
Su Yingxue was on high alert. Who are you? Why are you with my Father? Did you cause his condition?
Exactly. The man admitted nonchalantly, without a hint of hesitation.
Even in his voice, Su Yingxue could detect a trace of fearlessness and audacity.
You cant save your Father.
The mans aged and hoarse voice made each word reverberate with an unsettling resonance.
Swiftly, Su Yingxues long whip swung towards him. He dodged with agility, refraining from retaliation.
Oddly, his instantaneous move brought Su Yingxue to Su Dinghengs bedside. She placed her hand on Su Dinghengs wrist. One pulse, two pulses
After the fifteenth pulse, Su Yingxues brows gradually knitted together.
She could not tell what poison Su Dingheng had been poisoned with!
With a piercing gaze, Su Yingxue confronted the man. Who are you? Why did you poison my Father?
Hehe, child. The mans tone shifted unexpectedly to a kindliness that puzzled Su Yingxue.
Just moments ago, he declared that she couldnt save her Father!
Now, he spoke gently, Let me see your capabilities.
Capabilities? What do you want? You
Su Yingxue watched him swiftly depart, his figure long vanished.
Upon Zi Weis return, the man had already disappeared. After instructing Zi Wei to search again, he reported no traces of experts around the Marquiss Manor.
Who is he?
Su Yingxue slammed her fist on the table, causing quite a stir. Liu Shulan entered to inspect the commotion. Seeing the room empty and Su Dingheng still unconscious, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Seated at Su Dinghengs bedside, she held his hand and murmured, Marquis, 1 had no choice. Once Su Yingxue dies, you will surely recover!
She had an arrangement with that person. Su Yingxue conspired against her father, even if she didnt die, she would be severely punished. Once she seized control of the Marquiss Manor, he would cure Su Dingheng.
Listening to Liu Shulans words from the rafters, Su Yingxue pondered for a moment. She must be connected to that man!
Who? The purple hues in Zi Weis eyes emanated a chilling bloodlust.
Su Yingxue shook her head. He came for me. Im the only one whos seen him. Even in the Ministry of Justice, neither Your Highness nor anyone else detected his aura. Its truly strange.
Ill be protecting you. Zi Wei discerned Su Yingxues inner disquiet and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Su Yingxue smiled, her eyes slightly curved. Alright.
She carefully examined Su Dinghengs body. Other than the fact that she could not determine what poison he had been poisoned with, she found that there were two bulges on his body. One was his abdomen, and the other was his arm. It seemed like there were tumors growing on his body, but she could not determine how or why they had grown.
Su Yingxue bit her lip. After all, she had not been exposed to poison for long. If she could call Saint Ruan over at this moment and treat him together, she might be able to find the source as soon as possible.
But Saint Ruan She wondered if he was still alive.
Su Yingxue summoned Chu Yihans Shadow Guards to inquire. The guard confirmed that Saint Ruan was alive and in his medicinal hut.
After obtaining the address, Su Yingxue set out with Zi Wei.
Unexpectedly, the Saint Ruan she encountered this time was a genuine old
man..
