Chapter 285: Forcibly kept, regardless of yes or no (2/2)

“Are you going back with Long Feiye?” Gu Qishao asked immediately.

Han Yunxi didn’t answer him directly, but simply said, “I still have some things to do.” She was about to leave right then, causing a flicker of doubt to pass through Gu Beiyue’s eyes. He didn’t speak up, but Gu Qishao actually followed her out.

“What kind of things?”

“Private things!” Han Yunxi’s meaning was obvious, but Gu Qishao was still insistent.

“What kind of private things?”

Han Yunxi would have really regretted coming in the first place if not for wanting to see Gu Beiyue. She should’ve gone to find Third Elder long ago. As long as Gu Qishao stuck to her side, she was sure to get pestered. Han Yunxi’s eyebrows furrowed at him, but Gu Qishao only smiled instead of retreating.

“Poison lass, you still haven’t told me how you treated Long Tianmo’s poison.”

Han Yunxi gave Gu Qishao the same reason she’d offered Long Feiye. Gu Qishao couldn’t help but be suspicious. “That convenient?”

“Pardon me, but I must be leaving now!” Han Yunxi didn’t dawdle as she threw out a polite excuse. But Gu Qishao insisted on tagging along. They had almost reached Third Elder’s when Han Yunxi stopped. “Just what do you want to do?”

“Tell me who taught you your poison skills,” Gu Qishao’s ultimate goal was still this question.

So annoying! Han Yunxi was in a bad mood to begin with, but she nearly made to hit him at these words. It was right this time that Third Elder rounded the corner while walking towards her. By the time Han Yunxi looked back, Gu Qishao had already vanished, his speed astoundingly quick. This fellow’s clearly familiar with everything about the medical academy, but he’s always hiding about. It felt like he was afraid of being discovered. But why?

Fine, Han Yunxi didn’t have the heart to worry about so many details. She had plenty of her own problems to deal with. Lady Tianxin, the Shadow Clan, and the Poison Sect were three big, unrelated names that somehow tangled themselves together when it came to her. She collected her thoughts and walked towards Third Elder, who had just come from the Council of Elders. Not only had the poison beast been stolen, but the Gu arts had revived and Xi Yubo had fled the academy. All three of these events were enough to send the medical academy into chaos. He’d managed to extricate himself from the proceedings only with difficulty so he could take a break.

As soon as he saw Han Yunxi, Third Elder grew puzzled. “Esteemed wangfei still hasn’t left? Just then, His Highness Duke of Qin was here looking for you. He’s just gone away, so shall I send someone to chase after him?”

Because Long Feiye hadn’t found Han Yunxi at the medical academy, he assumed that she’d already gone back with her things. Thus, he retraced his steps to the inn. Han Yunxi didn’t answer the question, but simply said, “Third Elder, there’s something I want to ask you privately.”

Original Chapter Teaser:

“Ye’er, have you ever thought of why your mother had to die? How could you…” Aunt Ru was about to say more, but Long Feiye suddenly turned to look at her with an ice-cold gaze.

Long Feiye: Instead of my mother, why don’t you think about yourself instead?

Aunt Ru: Are you threatening me?!

Long Feiye: You threatened me first. I’m just returning the favor.

Aunt Ru: I. Am. Your. Aunt!

Long Feiye: Ant? Are you’re suggesting I crush you beneath my heel instead?

Tang Li: Cut, cut!

Aunt Ru: Cut me?! Tang Li, you insolent little–

Tang Li: *sweats* T-that’s not what I meant! Aunt Ru, there’s no way Long Feiye would talk that much!
