Chapter 767: A spys feelings are just like thus (2/2)

“Dead father? Dead mother?” Miss Yu’er suddenly broke into a cold laugh. “I’m sorry to say that I haven’t had a father or mother since I was young. I really can’t collect their corpses.”

As she spoke, she walked towards Su Xiaoyu, who felt her intense killing intent. She could estimate that the other girl had superior martial arts skills. What now? Huddled in her corner, she didn’t move but stared until the girl was standing right in front of her.

And then!

Su Xiaoyu grabbed a handful of mud and slinged it at the girl, who dodged to the side in amusement before brushing its remnants off her shoulder. Su Xiaoyu had naturally put poison in the mud and was silently rejoicing when the girl gave her a disdainful glance.

“You dare to show off your trifling skills against me? What a joke!”

Crouching down, she pressed down on Su Xiaoyu’s right shoulder, making it impossible for her to raise her hand and use more poisons. Very soon, she held down Su Xiaoyu’s left shoulder as well.

“You know poisons? Just who are you?” Su Xiaoyu demanded while hiding her internal alarm. She could already feel the sensation of thousands of ants gnawing at her shoulders. The aching pain was indescribable!

“Who I am isn’t important. The important thing is, who is Gu Qishao?” the girl asked.

“I don’t know! I’m not close with him!” Su Xiaoyu exclaimed.

“Not telling?” the girl smiled.

“I don’t know. If I did I’d tell you right away!” Su Xiaoyu was speaking the truth. She wouldn’t suffer for the sake of someone she hardly knew. If the poison on her shoulders wasn’t treated soon, her hands would be permanently crippled.

“Fine then. Let me ask you this: is there a phoenix birthmark on Han Yunxi’s back?” the girl asked.

The query sounded familiar to Su Xiaoyu, but she couldn’t remember anything.

“Is there?” the girl was getting impatient.

“I don’t know!” Su Xiaoyu said loudly. Even if she did, she wouldn’t tell. Anything about her master would be kept top secret!

The girl smiled brilliantly, her bright eyes sparkling in the darkness. “Alright. Tell me what you do know?”

“I don’t know anything, I’m just a servant girl!” Su Xiaoyu cursed. “Aren’t you jsut a serving dog, too? You should know the customs as well!”

Slap! The girl’s hand send Su Xiaoyu crumpling to the ground, her shoulders in so much pain that her hands couldn’t move. She glared at the girl so viciously that latter backed away a few steps.

“You’ve got quite the skills for someone so young. I’ll give you one month’s time. If you’re not dead by then, we can take our time playing together!” the girl said before swishing her sleeves and stalking off.

Outside the cell, the sunlight illuminated the girl’s young face and her large, bright eye. She was none other than Bai Yanqing’s disciple, Jun Yixie’s junior sister Bai Yuqiao. In other words, Lady Helian’s Lord Master was none other than Bai Yanqing!

“Miss Yu, the Lord Master is urging you to hurry,” the attendant reported with a mutter.

“I know,” Bai Yuqiao lowered her voice and issued orders. “Keep a close eye on that girl. She’s Han Yunxi’s servant girl, so it’ll be useful to keep her for the future.”

Then she hurried off to meet Bai Yanqing, who was waiting in a horse carriage by the side of the road.

“Master, that girl won’t say a thing,” she reported truthfully.

“There’s no rush,” Bai Yanqing set down the chess manual in his hands. “Yu girl, where do you think Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue went?”

“Maybe Celestial Mountain? I heard Gu Beiyue’s medical skills aren’t bad, could they have gone to treat Long Feiye’s injuries?” Bai Yuqiao asked.
