Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Karma and Sinful Fate

Zhuang Yuling had already discovered the identities of the two men.
From Zhuang Huanling’s description, one was tall and lean, handsome, the other was a little chubby, their images matched the description of Hong Shixian.
That’s why Zhuang Yuling felt so ridiculous. As for the so-called poison, she knew Hong Shixian would not do that.
The scene she witnessed during the day in the canyon made her realize that Hong Shixian was the kind of person who would take revenge for every slight, but it was obvious that the other side didn’t know Zhuang Huanling was the mastermind behind the pranks on them.
Otherwise, Zhuang Huanling wouldn’t have had the chance to cry out about it after being fooled to such an extent.
“Indeed, it’s a twist of fate.’
Zhuang Yuling chuckled and stood up, “Have your Wuhai Academy’s alchemists examine my niece in detail. Also, don’t bother looking for the culprit anymore, you won’t find him.”
If Jiang Xiaobai could still be so vibrant under such a threatening environment, and dare to cause trouble at Wuhai Academy, he obviously had his wavs.
He was confident that the people in Wuhai Academy wouldn’t catch them.
To hunt them down publicly would simply be a waste of effort.
Then the Wuhai Academy became chaotic. All the alchemists were called and not only that, Zhu Chengfeng even reported the incident to the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. The other side had already dispatched dozens of top alchemical masters to rush over.
Zhuang Yuling, who knew the truth, was showing great interest on her face.
“You’re quite the interesting little fellow. I can’t think of anyone else in the world who would dare to bully Linger like you did.”
“How should I put it? Coincidence? A twist of fate?”
Shaking her head and chuckling, Zhuang Yuling didn’t tell anyone about this.
This was a grudge between the two youngsters. She would intervene only when things got out of control. Otherwise, their fate was up to them.
In a dense forest, AnRan was delightfully feasting on roasted meat, her face smeared with grease.
“Boss, is it really okay to just leave like that, not even leaving behind an antidote?” Asked AnRan casually.
“I never poisoned that girl. The poison I carry is lethal on touch, if I really used it she wouldn’t even have the strength to talk, she would die instantly.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head with a faint smile, “This is just to prank her a little. She’s so stubborn, I’ve got her controlled and she’s still so arrogant and wayward. Such a temperament needs to be put in its place.”
“But Boss, aren’t you afraid of her retaliating later?”
“What’s there to be afraid of, have I not offended enough people? Her strength is only up to the middle stage of Dividing the gods. I don’t even fear the
Thousand Yuan Dynasty, why would I fear her?”
Jiang Xiaobai threw the bone aside and lay back on the ground.
His clear eyes gazed at the stars in the sky.
It’s odd. When Ao Yan unexpectedly came up in conversation today, I must admit, I kind of miss her.
I wonder what that woman is doing now… and whether she’s thinking of me.
As the night passed and dawn arrived, Zhuang Huanling, who by this point had been scrutinized from head to toe, sat in her own courtyard, simmering with rage.
She had been thoroughly duped!
More than a hundred top alchemical masters had examined her carefully and confirmed she wasn’t poisoned at all.
There were no traces of poisoning on her body. Even Zhuang Yuling had inspected her divine soul, only to find nothing amiss.
The inevitable conclusion was that she wasn’t poisoned. Unless someone could refine poison as smooth as divine power, it was impossible for there to be no trace of it.
Upon learning the result, Zhuang Huanling was livid, like a walking volcano ready to erupt at any time.
From the moment she met that bastard, she had been led by the nose.
She’d actually been fooled into believing she was poisoned.
As the Zhuang Family’s young miss, Zhuang Huanling had never been treated this way before.
“Damn it! I swear revenge, not sharing the same sky with you!”
Zhuang Huanling roared with fury, making the entire courtyard ring with her outburst. Nobody dared to come any closer.
She once again summoned the five Transcendence experts and briefly described the appearance and methods of those men, hoping the five could locate them.
However, once they heard about Jiang Xiaobai’s tactic of making people have diarrhoea, they immediately realised who it was.
“Um… Miss, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Hong Shixian.”
‘What?”
Zhuang Huanling’s voice shot up by several degrees, her face full of disbelief.
She had been fooled by Jiang Xiaobai?
She had been upset that she hadn’t managed to thoroughly toy with Jiang Xiaobai, but to discover he was the one who had pranked her all the while, this feeling of injustice exploded within her.
She’d been bullied by a worthless worm like him?
If word got out, wouldn’t people die from laughter?
“Are you sure it’s Hong Shixian?” Zhuang Huanling asked coldly.
“We’ve never seen anyone else with such tactics; able to make people have diarrhoea without them suspecting anything, unheard of, it’s completely despicable.” said the leader of the group hastily. Zhuang Huanling at this moment, however, suddenly gestured,
“Fine, you don’t need to get involved in this.”
Looking at the calm Zhuang Huanling, the five people felt a sense of shock. When had their young lady ever been this calm?
But it was clear, Zhuang Huanling was truly angry.
The kind that doesn’t end until one dies.
“Since this bastard came to the Mad Demon Secret Land, I’ll definitely encounter him. At that time, I will personally crush his bones one by one!”
With a cold huff, Zhuang Huanling waved to dismiss the five. After sitting in silence for a while, she stormed out of the courtyard to find Zhuang Yuling.
“Aunt, tell me the truth. Did you already know who tricked me last night?” Zhuang Huanling shouted as she dashed into the courtyard.
Zhuang Yuling smiled faintly, “It seems you’ve figured it out.”
“Wuwuwu… Aunt, how could you? Not only did you call back the people under me, but you also gave Hong Shixian fifty million upper-grade spirit stones. Aren’t you helping a tyrant to a victim?” Zhuang Huanling whined, “Aunt, don’t you love me anymore?”
“Oh, stop it with the drama.”
Zhuang Yuling said annoyedly, “I know what you mean, don’t worry. Even though I think that kid is agreeable and has some talent, I won’t interfere in your matters.”

Hearing this, Zhuang Huanling stood up, her face full of elation.
“Aunt, are you really not going to get involved?”
“I’ve given my word, but don’t go too far. That kid has a powerful backing.
Don’t think you can do anything you want just because it’s the Eastern Region.”
Zhuang Yuling put her finger on Zhuang Huanling’s forehead: “You can come to the Eastern Region, why can’t others?”
