Chapter 24 (2/2)

Pang Wan unconsciously takes a step back

——he’s right, she indeed did not tell him the truth

Every time, before she uses the needles, she would first touch a specific corner of the needle bag First apply sos, then use the needles, this is the secret Sect Leader Uncle had passed onto her

Seeing her back slightly bow in a defensive posture, He Qing Lu’s eyes looks like dots of lacquer paint, and also smiles

“Youhtly advises

Pang Wan shakes her head

“I did not deceive you” She stands up straight, her chin tense, both cheeks like rosy clouds reflected across a clear pond, “Although before using the needles, applying the drug is required, I do not knohat that drug is made from, or why its effect on the needle would prevent it fro —— I only use it in accordance to my master’s instructions”

He Qing Lu squints his long and narrow eyes, intently looking at her, see to assess the truth in her words

“You are unwilling to tell ’s secret, because you wish to remain in my estate?” He see eyebrows knitting together, “You are afraid that once I know the secret lies with the needle bag, I will no longer be interested in you as an individual, thus directly shooing you out the estate?”

Pang Wan is stunned, and ultihtly bites down on her lower lip, practically about to draw out blood

“You want a face of peerless stunning beauty thatLu looks at her in surprise, “To be admired by all in the world, is that important to you?”

Pang Wan’s lashes droops down, the tassel by her temple sways all alone

“……rest assure, since I have proe for the hidden weapon’s secret, I will not go back onLu appears a little exhausted as he rubs the between of his brows, no longer looking directly at Pang Wan, “Those of the He Clan always re as your five thousand taels of silver is not on account, I prouaranteed with the honour of my family name put at stake”

Pang Wan quickly raises her head, eyes brightly looking at him

——to a prideful noble gentle is more important than the honour of their family name, that’s why, she chooses to believe him

“In fact, every time I use the needles, I would touch here beforehand”

She takes off the needle bag and place it on the desk, pointing towards the area by the opening of worn dohite

He Qing Lu opens his eyes upon hearing this, that handsoain: “You sure it is only this one spot?”

Pang Wan nods, then quickly reaches to cover the needle bag: “Pro, cannot slash, cannot cut, nor can you burn it!” She anxiously looks at hi, “Should it be ruined, h not necessarily kill, she will be dragged off for a round of beating, and definitely would not lack the punish in poisoned water

He Qing Lu seeing her utterly nervous appearance, deliberately straightens his face: “This I cannot say for sure”

“Then that can’t do!” She i it in her eh it’s her life, “Deterate!”

He Qing Lu seeing how stubborn she is, lets out a sigh, very unwillingly saying: “Should you really be that worried, every ti, I’ll allow you to watch on from the side, how’s that?” He really does not want to use the word ‘monitor’

Pang Wan tilts her head in thinking, and finds this condition really reliable, thus grinningly agrees

In the afternoon of early summer, the air filled is armth, and within the study room by the lotus pond, the heads of a ether

“Cannot scratch! You’re already breaking the rules!” This is the young girl’s voice filled with anxiety

“I only lightly picked at it……” This is the reement

“Who picks at things like that?! You picked out a very big piece of coating, you liar!” The young girl was practically on the verge of weeping

“The size of a needle point is also considered a very big piece?! Do you have no concept of e

On the soil slope by the shore, so their face, revealing a beautifully fair face of glowing radiance

Jin Bu Yao listens to the sound of quarrelling fros a trace of an undetectably faint smile

“This lullaby sure is good” She vaguely reenish mud under her body, as she falls into sweet sleep just like that
