Chapter 172 Ungrateful and Heartless (1/2)

“Oh, teacher, what do you want the jade box for? For nest eggs?”

Lin Mengya gradually reached a conclusion from her contacts with Baili Rui: that fuddy-duddy needed to be treated with unusual means.

Especially that daring way, making no difference between the old man and her, got them much closer.

Baili Rui rolled his eyes at Lin Mengya. Although she seemed to not respect him, Lin Mengya was really a genius in poisoning.

She was even more talented than his senior brother known as the God of Poison.

He had been a loser when competing with his senior.

If his student defeated his senior, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled.

“It is Dragon Soul Grass. I’ve checked it. This woman may be able to survive, but she is still too weak in health. If I really bring her back to life through poisoning, her body may be not bear it. But Dragon Soul Grass is different. It’s said that it has an effect to protect the patient’s soul.”

Baili Rui cautiously took a light purple herb from another room. Lin Mengya, with her foot lifted, watched Baili Rui who was nervous at the moment.

“Teacher, aren’t you a non-believer of ghosts and gods?”

Baili Rui had no time to reply. He carefully transplanted the light purple Dragon Soul Grass into the jade box.

“They say, it can protect the soul. In fact, what it protects is the vein. But it is a little special. I have to feed her it in fresh condition three times.”

Looking at her teacher’s serious expression, Lin Mengya realized that the herb must be very precious.

“I hope, the jade box can nourish the Dragon Soul Grass.”

Teacher was determined. Then, Madam Wang had a great possibility to survive.

After that, she was about to plan something else.

“Teacher, when will Madam Wang wake up in the light of her current condition?”

Baili Rui looked back to the woman lying on the bed. She had recovered her life now, but it was still unknown when she would wake up.

“I don’t know. Maybe she will never wake up. I’m not sure.”

Baili Rui didn’t care about anyone’s life. But that woman was a very rare case. Lin Mengya told him that all the woman’s organs had been taken out.

Besides, there were many unusual poisons inside her body.

Baili Rui had discussed with Lin Mengya about that. They concluded that those poisons might be causing her dead-like state.

There was no record about that kind of case, even in medical books.

Once he figured out the cure, he would have achieved a victory over his senior brother.

“It’s her destiny. Teacher, I still have something else to deal with. I’ll leave now. Inform me if you need something.”

Lin Mengya walked out of the stone room. Outside was Baili Wuchen, who was chillingly gazing at her.

“Stop.”

When Lin Mengya passed by, Baili Wuchen shouted for her to stop.

Lin Mengya, who had already felt the slight hostility from Baili Wuchen, stood there.

“What’s the matter?”

Both of them faced each other with their backs. No one would like to turn their back first.

“Do you think you can gain the prince’s credibility through pleasing my uncle?”

Baili Wuchen didn’t know the reason why his uncle would regard Lin Mengya with special attention, and why the prince attached more importance to her.

“You must be confused. I’m not pleasing your uncle, neither am I flattering anyone for the Prince. There is no reason for me to do this. Your uncle treats me as his student. And, I am the Princess. I should gain the Prince’s credibility.”

In fact, Lin Mengya knew clearly. Baili Wuchen hated her, because he thought that Lin Mengya was about to take his place.

Besides, Baili Rui treated him strictly.

But he treated her so closely. Therefore, Baili Wuchen felt very uncomfortable.

“You—such a little girl! How could you understand men’s ambitions. If you ruin our thing, I will never spare you even though the Prince may protect you.”

Lin Mengya burst into laughter, as if she had heard a joke.

“Ambition? Baili Wuchen, what ambition can you have after you framed your uncle? Heartless and ungrateful ambition? Even your close uncle can be used by you. Then, what else under the sun can’t be used? You feel wronged because you thought that you had framed your uncle in order to achieve your business for the Prince. Therefore, you tried to suppress your guilt. But, did the Prince ask you to kidnap your uncle? Did your ambition ask you to behave ungratefully?”

What Lin Mengya said pierced through Baili Wuchen’s heart like a dagger.

Baili Wuchen turned round and heatedly stared at Lin Mengya.

“What do you know? I did this for the Prince, for Dajin!”

Lin Mengya turned round, too, but there was still a smile on her face.

“For the Prince, or for yourself!? Baili Wuchen, think about it! Dajin would never need a heartless, ungrateful hero!”

After uttering her last words, Lin Mengya turned round and left without hesitation.

Baili Wuchen remained standing still on the same spot.

The food container suddenly weighed more than a thousand jin.

Baili Wuchen’s intelligent brain seemed to turn ambiguous at that moment.

The memories of how his uncle brought him up and cultivated him to be a useful man, came to his mind.
