Han Yunxi recognized Duanmu Yao’s voice immediately. It dispelled her foolish expression and turned her face cold. She hated interruptions like these when she was so close to seeing Long Feiye again. Not just anyone could enter the Abstinence Hall. She was here under the name of serving Long Feiye’s sentence with him. Something big must have happened for Duanmu Yao to be standing right outside her door.
She didn’t dare to treat this carelessly, but quickly opened the door of her room to see Duanmu Yao, Cang Qiuzi, Granny You and her ten main disciples all standing outside. Despite her alarm, she walked calmly outside and rested her hand on the door.
With a cold look towards Duanmu Yao, she asked, “Slut cursing who again?”
“You!” Duanmu Yao raged.
“What’s the slut cursing me about?” Han Yunxi retorted with a smile.
Granny You was tense, but couldn’t help but smile at those words. Only then did Duanmu Yao realize Han Yunxi had turned the slur against her and cried, “Han Yunxi you slut, you had the gall to poison me!”
Han Yunxi had to roll her eyes. I thought it was something important, but it’s just poison again!
Over the past month, it’d either been random disciples getting poisoned who needed her help or venomous animals appearing out of the blue that needed her to capture them. She was already sick of it all. Couldn’t they come up with better excuses? Is it fun to play poisons against me all the time?
She already knew that Duanmu Yao had Rose Rattan poison as soon as she opened the door. For the sake of threatening her, this woman had actually gotten thrown in serious stakes.
“Where’s the proof?” Han Yunxi asked.
Duanmu Yao immediately produced her witness, but before the servant girl could speak, Han Yunxi said, “She’s one of your people and too suspect. She doesn’t have qualifications to be a witness.”
Like before, Duanmu Yao exposed her wrists. By now the vines had already climbed to her shoulders. “Who else but you could have poison like this?”
“Jun Yixie, ah! Everyone knows how you allied with him…” Han Yunxi trailed off to look at Cang Qiuzi. “You should know too, right? Head Elder Cang?”
Unusually for him, Cang Qiuzi simply stared at the stone door behind Han Yunxi in the room without saying a word. Han Yunxi found that puzzling, but by now Duanmu Yao had already drawn her sword and pointed it threateningly. “Han Yunxi, is this princess stupid enough to poison myself? Hurry up and hand over the antidote and I’ll leave you with an intact corpse!”
So she’s not planning to spare my life even after I hand over the cure? Han Yunxi’s heart grew colder. However, as Duanmu Yao was only twenty percent recovered, her stance didn’t give off any killing intent at all.
Before Han Yunxi could speak, Granny You cut in. “Yunxi, just give them the antidote for now. We can discuss the matter after the sect head emerges from his cultivation.”
Wouldn’t giving them the antidote mean admitting that I’m guilty? Of course, Granny You wasn’t so foolish. She was the head of the Abstinence Courtyard after all. Her words were simply a reminder that the sword sect master couldn’t shield her either while he was in closed door cultivation. Her only hope now laid in Long Feiye’s hands.
