184 Crossing Swords ‘Covertly’ 1 (1/2)

”What really happened here, my girl? You sent the Min Butterfly which brought us such alarming news. If anyone had bullied you, I will definitely give you justice.” Qin Yu Yan cooed laughing, her voice gentle and soothing.

Bai Yun Xian's pulse was normal, and she did not seem to have suffered any internal injuries.

With the situation presented to them now being totally different from what Bai Yun Xian had relayed to the Qing Yun Clan previously, Qin Yu Yan decided to see how it played out.

Bai Yun Xian was crying in her heart, but she had to put on a sheepish mask on her face and said: ”I had no choice! Xuan Fei was poisoned! I tried everything I could but I was unable to find a remedy. He is now at death's door, I thought only Master could save him! So, I….. I made up a story like that.”

The main hall was silent. Bai Yun Xian's words had left everyone stunned.

What a twist! This story was way different from what they heard…..

When they left Qing Yun Clan, they all knew that someone bold and audacious in Qi had schemed to harm Bai Yun Xian, but what Bai Yun Xian was telling them was a totally different story!

”Xuan Fei? Who's that?” Qin Yu Yan was still reeling from the news.

Bai Yun Xian managed to blush a little as her cheeks turned a pale pink while she replied looking abashed: ”He's the Second Prince of Qi, and he is now a duke conferred by the new Emperor. He takes great care of me, and we….. have pledged to marry.

Upon hearing that, the delegates were all struck dumb.

If they did not hear this from Bai Yun Xian herself, they would not have believed it.
