CH 78

Originally Qiqi didn’t want to meddle in someone’s business. But looking at the young man in cyan robes sitting cross-legged, apparently wanting to use internal force to force the poison out. She couldn’t ignore it.

“Stop.” Qiqi opened her mouth and walked quickly to the cyan-robed young man. She reached out and quickly tapped at the four acupoints of Ling Xu, Yun Men, Zi Gong, and Shen Feng on his body. She told him: “This poison must not use internal force. Otherwise, it will follow the blood and invade the internal organs.”

As a result, Qiqi retrieved her dagger on the ground and walked back to the cyan-robed young man. She picked up his left hand that was powerless on the ground and opened his palm. She made a cut at the center of the second joint of his middle finger and used her own qi from outside the stitch of his chest to push the poisoned blood out from his arm.

The poison of tarsal bones. The poison that assassins used against martial arts targets. Qiqi was more familiar with it.

The poisoned blood was dark purple. Until the blood dripping from the cyan-robed young man’s fingertip showed a normal red, Qiqi released his hand and tapped to unblock his acupoints in a flash.

Speaking of which, Qiqi was also poisoned with tarsal bones in order to save Shen Zhonghua, but in the end, it was Shen Zhonghua who saved her. This method of detoxification was still taught by Shen Zhonghua.

“All right.” Qiqi picked up the dagger again and wiped the blade smoothly on the man’s cyan robes then put it back in her sleeve.

Looking at Qiqi throwing these two words coldly then turned around to leave. The cyan-robed young man couldn’t resist smiling and turned his head to look toward Qiqi: “Young lady, are you just going to leave like this?”

This time, Qiqi didn’t look back. Since someone came to kill this person, it meant that this person was troublesome in itself. Now Qiqi didn’t want to invite trouble.

“Stay to collect the corpses for you?” Qiqi asked in a cold voice. She naturally asked about the dead bodies of those assassins on the ground.

“Ha......” This time, the cyan-robed young man couldn’t hold back the sound of chuckling. His voice was very pleasant, like ripples washing through the spring-green lake. Looking at the elegant back of Qiqi, the cyan-robed young man smiled and said: “The young lady crack jokes.”

Then he added: “The name is Bai Jue. Dare to ask the young lady for her name so I can repay the young lady for her life-saving grace.”

Bai Jue originally guessed that such a cold face and kind heart woman would naturally not tell him her own name, but he didn’t expect to hear the other side say: “No need to repay.”

This made him smile again. Looking at the woman’s distant back, Bai Jue sat on the ground, raised his eyebrows slightly, and murmured: “What an interesting young lady......”

Qiqi confirmed that there was no bloody smell on her body before she went to the front courtyard. The bustling crowd in front of the courtyard had disappeared. There were only a few monks carrying sticks in the direction of the lotus pond.

According to the previous conversation, Qiqi went to the gate to find mother Su and her sisters-in-law. As expected, not far away she saw mother Su and her sisters-in-law under the protection of the servants guarding at the gate.

Someone was waiting for her and thinking about her at a critical moment. Knowing that there was danger and was still here waiting for her. Qiqi’s heart ached, but it wasn’t sad, it was much warmer and touching.

“Mother, sisters-in-law......” Qiqi shouted, she lifted her skirt and ran over. Mother Su and her sisters-in-law too, pushed aside the servants and ran like Qiqi.

“Thank heavens! Bodhisattva bless and protect!” Mother Su hugged her and looked at her right and left. Her pale look only somewhat improved now: “Is Little Seven alright? Not scared, are you?”

“No.” Qiqi helped mother Su: “I made my mother and sisters-in-law worry.”

“It’s alright.” The second sister-in-law let out a long breath. Seeing Qiqi was well and everyone’s hanging heart was put down.

“If everything is alright then let’s go home......” The eldest sister-in-law suggested: “Everyone was shocked today......”

“Yes.” The third sister-in-law nodded, walked to the other side, and held Qiqi’s hand.

“Good...... good......” Mother Su was still in a state of shock. She hurriedly pulled Qiqi’s hand and said: “Go home, Little Seven, let’s go home...... It’ll be safe once return home!”

Qiqi nodded and said: “Yes.”

Looking at the back of Qiqi leaving surrounded by the crowd under the eaves, the cyan-robed young man asked the young manservant behind him: “Yan Xin, that madam looks like the wife of the general and that woman dressed in white seemed to be her daughter.”

Yan Xin said: “A few days ago, several generals asked for leave at home. It seems to be for this lost and found pearl of the palm.”

“So it seems......” The cyan-robed young man thoughtfully.

Yan Xin again said: “Master, you deliberately attracted those assassins to show up, you should know who ordered them?”

“It’s not the crown prince. It’s the eighth prince.” Bai Jue said: “Unfortunately they’re too weak to receive two tricks. I still haven’t shown the truth......”

Yan Xin said honestly: “Master, how disappointed you are in listening to your tone......”

Bai Jue nodded: “Yes......”
