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 Yingxue’s frame.
The laughter was faint and elusive, almost like a figment of Su Yingxue’s imagination.
Suddenly, she heard the man’s voice, which was filled with vicissitudes of life and vigor, “Child, you’ve come.”
A child?
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 can’t save your Father.”
The man’s aged and hoarse voice made each word reverberate with an unsettling resonance.
Swiftly, Su Yingxue’s long whip swung towards him. He dodged with agility, refraining from retaliation.
Oddly, his instantaneous move brought Su Yingxue to Su Dingheng’s bedside. She placed her hand on Su Dingheng’s wrist. One pulse, two pulses…
After the fifteenth pulse, Su Yingxue’s 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 man’s tone shifted unexpectedly to a kindliness that puzzled Su Yingxue.
Just moments ago, he declared that she couldn’t 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 Wei’s return, the man had already disappeared. After instructing Zi Wei to search again, he reported no traces of experts around the Marquis’s 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 Dingheng’s 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 didn’t die, she would be severely punished. Once she seized control of the Marquis’s Manor, he would cure Su Dingheng.
Listening to Liu Shulan’s words from the rafters, Su Yingxue pondered for a moment. “She must be connected to that man!”
“Who?” The purple hues in Zi Wei’s eyes emanated a chilling bloodlust.
Su Yingxue shook her head. “He came for me. I’m the only one who’s seen him. Even in the Ministry of Justice, neither Your Highness nor anyone else detected his aura. It’s truly strange.”
“I’ll be protecting you.” Zi Wei discerned Su Yingxue’s inner disquiet and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Su Yingxue smiled, her eyes slightly curved. “Alright.”
She carefully examined Su Dingheng’s 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 Yihan’s 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..
