C583 Poisoning (1/2)
Even though it was a rest, the truth was that they were only standing guard outside. As for Murong Yue and Yun'er, they were resting inside the carriage.
It was deep into the night, and because the fog around the valley did not disperse, the moon in the sky could not be seen very clearly. After a bumpy day, everyone was extremely tired.
The black-clothed elder leaned against the side of the carriage and fell asleep.
Inside the carriage, Mu Ru Yue and Yun'er also fell asleep together. Outside, Chen Qing sat at the edge of the canyon. He looked down at the canyon so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen with a complicated gaze. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
White Mirrorjade sized up Chen Qing and then walked forwards, looking down from above. He raised his chin and said, ”I never imagined that you would actually come to help the Seventh Princess. This is truly unexpected.”
At this time, White Mirrorjade no longer had the disdain he had for Chen Qingqing during the day.
Hearing that, Chen Qing laughed bitterly: ”If you say you didn't think of it, then it would be better to say you. As the young master of Medicine Valley, I had thought that you would never agree to it. I didn't expect that by agreeing to it, you would cause my wager with Princess Hua-Yang to be lost. So, I can only come along with you. ”
”Oh? If you say it like that, then won't this young master harm you? ” White Mirrorjade coldly said.
”Perhaps, this is fate. You cannot escape from it, and so can I.” Chen Qing said.
Fate?
White Mirrorjade couldn't help but sneer in his heart. What he hated the most was the tone of fate. Although he was disgusted, he still believed in fate. This was precisely the point that made him the most depressed.
”This time, this young master is betting everything on himself. You won't do anything, will you?” White Mirrorjade unkindly said.
”I don't have any hatred towards you, young master. You even helped me save Lian`er, so why would I do something that shouldn't be done?” Chen Qing said straightforwardly.
”Who knows? ”After all, people are separated, and this young master isn't just doing favors to one person. But those people, who wouldn't want this young master to die immediately?”
”That's because your mouth is too evil, Young Lord.” Chen Qing said.
White Mirrorjade was silent. He was in an extremely bad mood.
The two of them were silent for a moment. Then, White Mirrorjade asked, ”What do you think about this place?”
”What do you mean?” Chen Qing looked at White Mirrorjade, puzzled.
”This is the broken bridge.”
”Broken bridge? It was probably done by the people of the imperial court. People in the martial arts world are never afraid of anything. They have sealed off the other paths to the south.
”That's why I had such a simple trick up my sleeve.”
Chen Qing guessed.
”Is that so?”
White Mirrorjade's eyebrows shot up. He pursed his lips in a noncommittal manner. The gentleness of his face and eyes did not match at all. A gentle breeze blew past. White Mirrorjade's eyebrows furrowed together. He looked around him and asked with some doubt, ”Strange, what smell is it?”
”Taste?” Chen Qing tried sniffing, but said, ”It's nothing. I think it's the fragrance of the flowers from before.”
”That's not right!” Although it is very similar, it is not the smell of the sea of flowers. ” White Mirrorjade solemnly said. As he spoke, he had already begun to ponder. Chen Qing was speechless.
Although he was cheerful, he could not get along with this young valley master.
As for the taste?
Chen Qing sniffed again. He felt that there was no difference between him and the sea of flowers.
”Strange …” Why is my head so heavy? ” White Mirrorjade suddenly said from the side. As he spoke, he was on the verge of collapse.
”Hey!” You have to be careful, there's a canyon ahead! ” Chen Qing wanted to stand up and grab White Mirrorjade, but he felt his entire body go limp. Instantly, he felt ill.
White Mirrorjade was just about to collapse onto the ground in front of them. Chen Qing struggled to get up, but couldn't muster up any strength.
He was about to fall down, so he closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch. However, in the next second, he felt a cool breeze blow past his ears. He opened his eyes and saw a woman in black, wearing a bamboo hat, blocking the person who had almost fallen down. He then threw it onto the ground.
