Chapter 63: The useless trash defies the natural order (2/2)

Pill Fiend was taking deep breaths. The topics he’d racked his brains to think up were so easily analyzed and explained. As for the final Wall-Hitting Ghost, don’t tell him she’d found it long ago, too? Again, he didn’t reply, but Duanmu Baiye grabbed the diagrams that Long Feiye had set on the table until he found one of Simple White Yimi. He intentionally walked over to compare the two and was completely floored by the results. It really was Simple White Yimi!

“Crown Prince Ye, I’m not wrong, right?” Han Yunxi asked with a smile.

The diagrams fell to the ground as Duanmu Baiye rose to his feet, face frighteningly black. “You’ve found the last one, the Wall-Hitting Ghost, as well?”

Han Yunxi’s crafty eyes lowered and looked to her right.

Duanmu Baiye acted on reflex and also looked to the right. When Han Yunxi turned to look at her left, Duanmu Baiye’s head followed along to the left.

“Hahaha, it’s right beneath your feet!” Han Yunxi laughed out loud.

Duanmu Baiye really did look down, causing Han Yunxi to nearly fall over with laughter. There was absolutely nothing by his feet.

Tch…he’d been played!

Duanmu Baiye’s face alternated between white and red as his hands clenched into fists. Meanwhile, Pill Fiend’s eyes had turned gloomy and complicated. He’d personally planted the Wall-Hitting Ghost on the rooftop, where it looked no different from the other weeds there. Don’t mention pill masters, but even elite poison specialists that dropped by had yet to find it! Since Han Yunxi tricked Duanmu Baiye, that meant she hadn’t found it yet, right? These thoughts gave him a smidgen of confidence.

He quickly regained his cool and reminded her in his strange voice, “Han Yunxi, you’ve found the Seven Deaths Hawktail and Simple White Yimi, but you can’t win without finding the Wall-Hitting Ghost.”

His words had barely landed when Han Yunxi’s gaze grew profound. Seeing this, Pill Fiend felt his heart turn flustered. But her significant look quickly faded as Han Yunxi gave a careless glance towards the roof. This simple glance made Pill Fiend much more jittery than her previous expression!

It couldn’t be that she found the Wall-Hitting Ghost as well?! Was she a genius? It took Pill Fiend three days and three nights in the mountains to find this Wall-Hitting Ghost and plant it on his roof!

Seeing Pill Fiend panic, Han Yunxi smiled indifferently and didn’t say a word. But Duanmu Baiye saw their exchanged glances and instantly understood: the Wall-Hitting Ghost was in this courtyard too!

How could this be?!

These were all rare plants. Didn’t Pill Fiend said there was only one Wall-Hitting Ghost in the entire valley? Where was Duanmu Yao supposed to find it outside? Duanmu Baiye had long stopped caring about the location of the third plant. He was more worried about his little sister. Though he often used cruel and treacherous methods against his foes, he still indulged his sister to the bones. He didn’t want her to suffer a bit of hardship.

“Pill Fiend, you and your blasted challenge!” Duanmu Baiye turned to leave, but Long Feiye appeared before him with a cold tone.

“The rules that were set prohibits bystanders from helping. Don’t forget.”

Duanmu Baiye was in a rage, but had no excuse to leave. With Pill Fiend on the scene, he didn’t dare act shamelessly, but could only sit down to stew in his temper.

This time, they were definitely going to lose.

Pill Fiend had no interest in Duanmu Baiye. Right now, he was completely focused on Han Yunxi, his eyes never leaving her side. He really wanted to know if Han Yunxi had found the Wall-Hitting Ghost yet and was waiting for her to answer. The helpless Duanmu Baiye was waiting as well so he could find Yao Yao after Han Yunxi announced her discovery. But Han Yunxi just sat there without a word, her eyes still.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Yao was searching all over Pill Fiend Valley for the Seven Deaths Hawktail. She looked at the diagram three or four times, along with its description, before cleverly deciding to find a patch of dogtail grass first. She landed as soon as she found a field of them and started carefully comparing each one with the picture in the diagram.

How would she know what had happened in the courtyard? As she searched, she couldn’t help but keep thinking about Han Yunxi. She figured that Han Yunxi would probably take forever to find a dogtail field of her own!

After eliminating a big section of dogtails, Duanmu Yao’s light footsteps flew her to the next patch. Although the task was difficult, she was still full of confidence.

Soon enough, the skies began to grow dim…

By the time it grew dark, Han Yunxi still hadn’t pointed out the Wall-Hitting Ghost, but neither had she left the courtyard. Lanterns were lit while Duanmu Baiye paced back and forth, his face deathly pale as his heart burned with the fact that he couldn’t go out. Pill Fiend crouched in a raised flower bed on the side, dividing his gaze between the rooftop and Han Yunxi, suppressing his temper as he waited.
