Chapter 790: Who Is the White-Haired Person?
She froze for a moment, and Thousand Thoughts Dust seized back her life in that hesitation.A shadow flashed, and the newcomer swiftly knocked Qian Si Chen unconscious. He then rose and raised a palm..."Father would never deceive you," Feng Wuji said seriously. "Furthermore, my people have found some information about the Sleeping Fire Lotus. With just these two things, the poison on Qian Tingxuan's body can be cured."
Xiao Yu Ge was overjoyed upon hearing this. Her senior brother had said that if it were only the Orchid of Ghostly Fragrance, there would only be a 50% chance of saving Qian Ting Xuan. But if they added the Fire Lotus of Slumber, then they would be able to completely remove the poison from his body.
The Dragon's Tear is still a mystery. She can't count on Qian Si Chen to look for it, so even if she only has the Orchid Flower, there's a 50% chance. At that time, Qian Ting Xuan will have a 50% chance of surviving. If she adds her secret life-saving technique, perhaps she can give him a fighting chance.
"Ge'er, your father doesn't want to force you. I will leave Lan Zhao after the fifth princess's wedding. If you have made up your mind, come to the post house!" Feng Wuji finished speaking, gritted his teeth, and turned away fiercely.
He knew that Ge'er would resent him in her heart. He didn't want to force her from beginning to end, but in the end he discovered that besides forcing her down this path, he seemed to have no way to persuade her to return to Tianzhu with him.
Xiao Yu Ge sat there blankly, replaying Feng Wu Ji's words in her mind. If she wanted to save Qian Ting Xuan, she had to acknowledge her identity and return to Tian Zhu with Feng Wu Ji to become the saintess who lived beyond twenty years of age. But if she didn't go back, Qian Ting Xuan would...
After leaving Jinyulu, Xiao Yu Ge stood on the bustling street, taking a long, deep breath. Suddenly, everything before her seemed like passing clouds and smoke. An indescribable loneliness washed over her, and she felt lost. In this vast capital city, she didn't know where to go next.
At that moment, she caught sight of a familiar figure flashing past. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly followed after it.
At a corner, the figure vanished. She turned her eyes, abruptly looked back, and indeed saw that person standing not far behind her.
"Greetings, County Princess!" the person bowed respectfully to her, taking off the veil from her head.
"It's you!" After seeing his face clearly, Xiao Yuge was also slightly startled and immediately asked, "Are you here to see me Do you have any good news" It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared there was none other than Wen Shiyun from before, of course, he had now changed his name to Gu Xinsheng.
Gu Xinsheng nodded: "That day, I accidentally heard that voice again. Although it was at night and I couldn't see his appearance, I quietly followed him. I saw him disappear near the Imperial Tutor's Mansion!"
"The Imperial Court of Advisors Are you sure" Xiao Yu Ge's heart skipped a beat. Could this all be related to the Imperial Court of Advisors
"That person's light kung fu was extremely high, I was afraid he would notice me, so I didn't dare get too close. However, I carefully followed him all the way, and indeed he arrived near the National Teacher's Mansion before disappearing." Gu Xinsheng said very confidently.
"Are you the National Master" Xiao Yuge asked. In fact, she had always been skeptical of the National Master's identity. It was just that it didn't concern her, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
Gu Xinsheng shook his head, seeming a little uncertain: “After that day, I secretly waited near the National Teacher’s Mansion for a long time, but I didn't see anyone like the one in my memory. The person in my memory had white hair, but among the people who came and went from the National Teacher’s Mansion, there was no one like that.”
Xiao Yu Ge thought about it, she also doubted at first that it was the National Teacher, but after hearing him say this, she became uncertain: "Alright, I understand. If you hear that voice again, just come to Mingzhu Mansion to find me."
She had always felt that the Imperial Advisor wasn't a good person, as if from the very beginning, he had intentionally targeted her. If the owner of that voice was truly in the Imperial Advisor's mansion, then perhaps that person already knew her identity. It seemed she should investigate the Imperial Advisor's mansion thoroughly.
"Well, I understand." Upon seeing Xiao Yuge again, Gu Xinsheng's eyes no longer held the resentment he had before. Even the resentment in his heart had lessened considerably. Perhaps with the passage of time, he would eventually find peace.
"It seems like you're doing a great job as the new owner. I heard the business is booming. You were born to be a businessman!" Xiao Yuge was very pleased to see his transformation.
"This is also thanks to the opportunity given by the county princess. Otherwise, there would be no Gu Xinsheng today!"
Their eyes met and a smile spread across both their faces. It was a smile of acceptance, and a smile of letting go.
When Xiao Yuge returned to Mingzhu Mansion, the sky had already darkened. Qing Luo and Lu Xiangwan were anxiously waiting for her. Seeing that she was finally back, they rushed over to greet her.
"Miss, you're finally back! The servant was worried to death." Qing Luo was still like she always was, knowing that the young mistress had powerful martial arts skills, but she couldn't help but worry.
"I was delayed by something, why are you all standing outside" Xiao Yuge saw their unusual expressions and couldn't help but wonder.
Lu Xiangwan pouted, her face filled with grievance: "How dare we go in If you don't come back soon, the King's fire will almost burn down this mansion."
"He dares!" Xiao Yuge shook her head, quite helpless. Qian Tingxuan this fellow really couldn't change his bad temper, truly.
After returning to the room, she saw Qian Tingxuan sitting by the window waiting for her. The moonlight shone on him, making him even more slender. Even his shadow looked so handsome. It felt like she had won the lottery.
"You scared them again" she walked up to him, tilting her head against the flower window: "Don't always wear that face, it's frightening."
"You've been out all day, it's dark and you still haven't come back. Do you know how worried I would be" Qian Tingxuan wore a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but his eyes were full of resentment.
"What I do outside, you're not unaware of," Xiao Yuge said. She knew the people he sent to secretly protect her were very skilled in martial arts, always feeling that they weren't like ordinary guards.
"Did you go see Feng Wuji" His tone sounded calm, as if with a hint of blame, but mostly unease.
"Well, yes, I saw him." Xiao Yuge casually noticed his emotion and thought he was just asking casually.
"So...," he paused, turning his face away, "Are you going to go back with him"
He didn't know, when he spoke, even his voice trembled. He was afraid, afraid that she would really leave with Feng Wuji and go back to the windless wilderness. Anyone else who took her away, he could fight back and take her back. But Feng Wuji was different, Feng Wuji was Ge'er's biological father. If Ge'er decided to go back with Feng Wuji, he didn't know how to forcibly keep her.
Xiao Yu Ge finally picked up on his emotions. Her eyes twinkled as she thought about teasing him a little: "I... decided..."
"No! I won't allow it!" Qian Tingxuan suddenly flared up like a child, pulling her into his arms: "You promised me you wouldn't leave me. How can you go back with him" couldn't. She had to find a place to laugh properly, or else, this would really cause her internal injuries."If you want to laugh, just laugh here. There's no need to hide it." At that moment, Qian S...
