“Oh, that Iron Halberd Ar Mountain already?”
He Shan Nai grabs hold of the disciple as he asks this
“Although it is unknown if they will still be returning or not, they have indeed left the o” The disciple nods as he says this, “We have already searched the entire area within ten li (approx 3 miles) radius”
“Have there been any movements from Bai Yue Sect?” He Shan Nai frowns
“The ht of sect disciples entering or leaving” The disciple appears doubtful, “The nu to not take on the stance of ready for battle”
“Could it be that Iron Halberd Ar at any given time?”
He Shan Nai strokes his beard, he recalls how that de that lingering fear
“Could it be we have to continue waiting on like this?” He turns to the figure in purple sat by the
Gu Xi Ju moves the smooth lid of the white porcelain teacup, and blows at the tea
“Sect Leader He, no need to be hasty”
He idly holds up the teacup, lowering his head for a light sip, a body of purple robe lining his figure, racefully slender, eyebrows handso
“You sure make it sound easy! Each of us major sects all have i ourselves in this barbaric land for such a long time?”
Seeing hirier
Gu Xi Ju declines to comment but smiles
Those within the room looks at one another as they sit in silence for a while, all of a sudden, a sharp whistle is heard, and a golden beak eagle descends fro to itself as it coh its brown and white feathers
Bai Xiao Sheng walks up and takes down thea word, before turning to sly say: “Supreroup of Iron Halberd Army is already on their way back, they have entered the main road, even if they make the prompt decision to turn around, it will still require three days’ time”
Gu Xi Ju hu up the corners of his lips: “It was indeed a plan to th”
“Do you think we should……” Bai Xiao Sheng tentatively asks him
Gu Xi Ju places the cup of tea on the table beside hi: “Relay the orders, everyone et so, we shall officially leave the valley to wipe out the unorthodox sect”
His words are spoken so casually, as though saying, “tohtly setting up a chess game
Bai Xiao Sheng accepts the orders with a nod, and was just about to instruct the arrange monk chaotically scrambles his way in, a face filled with utter anxiety
“Not good, not good! Many people have suddenly collapsed! Sai Hua Tuo says this place ued!”
The spy in black enters the room and reports such and such, and the person on the seat’s expression finally loosens
“No matter hoell he can foresee with divine accuracy, he too, will definitely not have thought that we still have a secret weapon!”
Pang Wan bursts out laughing, the stuffiness that had been weighing down her chest for many days, has finally been relieved
How much of a crafty and wicked person is Gu Xi Ju? He deliberately chose to advance his attack at Cloud-Rising Mountain during the winter season, because the htest around this time, the most vulnerable time for poisonous creatures, the vastwinter, this way, the art of poison which Bai Yue excels in would lose over half of its effect, his chances of winning thus also increases a lot
But he does not know, there is a poisonous creature in this world called the Mourning Cloak butterfly, capable of soaring high and live through winter in adult foreon to order the sect’s people to collect large a Ling’s Iron Halberd Army has left, they would disperse these poisonous butterflies that look like dead leaves across all areas where tea for the people of the righteous sects to come out in exploration
Perhaps the heaven has opened its eyes, the resting area of Gu Xi Ju and the others, just happens to be the Mourning Cloaks’ favourite elm forest, therefore, the size of the area infected and the a Wan had expected, as if there is a plague spreading
To be thoroughly cured from the poison, it will take at least five days of ti
Seeing that her plans, one presented in the open and one operated in the shadows, have both played their roles as she had planned, Pang Wan can finally sigh in relief
At the saain pain stricken, an entire body of rilled, her pulse sounding squeaks
“You go ahead and receive you reward first” Pang Wan struggles to wave the spy aaiting till he had walked out the room, before she takes out a pill from her chest and ss it down
This pain relieving pill, she only needed to consu three at once, and now, she would eat five every ti of any help, could it be her body has developed a resistance to it?
Wrapping herself in the quilt, silencing herself with gritted teeth, when she has completely endured the pain, the hair at her forehead and her back are already drenched as though soaked in water
Reaching up to feel her underarm, full of sweat, , need to quickly take a bath
Ju out of bed, she was just about to order someone to boil some bathwater, but hears the rooure appears before the doorway
A faht wind as it blows into the bottoreen pine a, warm and cold yet prideful
“How did you get here?” Pang Wan looks at hi in that
“Oh, I shouldn’t be asking this question, since even Ah Zhuo ca for his answer, her eyes curves into a grin, “Are you feeling pained at heart fordistance, worn out by the journey, as you co over to seethe naïve pride unique to the young lady, “Ai-yo, no need to worry, no need to worry”
However, before she could finish speaking, she is fiercely pulled into a warether, practically leaving no gaps at all
Dong-dong, dong-dong, she could even hear the quick rising and falling of his heartbeat
“……hey, don’t you despise the smell?” This person motionlessly held her just like that for al Wan finally couldn’t hold it in anythis
Even she cannot handle the s frorant sweat dripping”? Unless sorance beforehand, not one person’s sweat does not smell bad, the female nobles of Mary Sue are no exception
However, the person above her see his hold on her evena deep breath
“Doesn’t smell, it doesn’t smell at all”
He softly
“Woah, have you been possessed?!” Pang Wan was frightened into hurriedly pushi+ng hie steps back, “Who bewitched you? Or are you having a fever right now? No, that’s not right! Who are you? You sure are courageous, to actually dare use Gentleman He’s face as a mask!”
He Qing Lu is rendered in a lost state because of her, unable to get angry nor laugh, and could only reach out to pull her fingers over, pressing theive it a feel, exactly is it real or not?” Voice soft like spring mist
“War Wan is co cautious as though walking on thin ice, “You’re really He Qing Lu? What’s going on with you? Don’t tell ain?”
Every tiet a bad feeling
