Chapter 815: Han Yunxis powerful rationality (2/2)
It was very possible that the only person who knew this much was her own father.
After all that thinking, Han Yunxi reached a terrifying conclusion. Her father wasn’t just a descendant of the Poison Sect, but heir to the Wind Clan as well. He investigated Long Feiye’s origins, tried to kill the Shadow Clan’s sole survivor, refused to acknowledge her existence, publicized her identity, and faked loyalty to West Qin by allying with the genuinely loyal Di Clan. It was all too obvious that he was trying to drive her and Long Feiye apart until they were on opposing sides, then play out some sort of bitter suffering father-daughter show with her.
She was the West Qin princess and her father, as the Wind Clan leader, would be even more justified to control the West Qin imperial clan. Although all of these were just conjectures and guesswork, Han Yunxi trusted her intuition.
It was rare to find such a rational woman like herself. She used 90 percent logical reasoning and 10 percent instinct to draw her conclusions. She had never doubted either, so she was certain this was the truth! Behind the scenes of everything lurked a large and sinister force who was sitting by to reap the largest rewards!
That dark-robed assassin must have never expected his shoulder wound to betray him! Under such pressing circumstances, he must have had no time to tell the difference before Blood Upon Dawn versus Sealed Throat Upon Dawn and simply absorbed the toxin into his poison storage space as always. Without help from the detox system, Han Yunxi wouldn’t have noticed the sudden disappearance of poison from his shoulder, either! How could the dark-robed assassin have ever realized that she was a transmigrator who had both the poison storage space and the analytical detox system in her possession?
Now Han Yunxi was regarding the Ning siblings with a complicated expression. How was she supposed to tell them this in a way they’d believe her? Whether it was for revenge or rebuilding the country, the old grievances and resentment between East and West Qin had to be dealt with in the open in the end.
Unless...unless she could hold up the enmity temporarily to expose that old fox from the Wind Clan?
“Han Yunxi, think it over carefully. It doesn’t matter if you agree or not, you don’t have the right to choose!” Ning Jing said coldly.
“Fine, I’ll consider it!” Han Yunxi finally came to a compromise. She really did need time to figure out how to convince the Di Clan while meeting a plot with a plot. Ning Jing silently exhaled at her words. She glanced at Ning Cheng one more time before withdrawing resentfully. She knew she’d gone beyond her boundaries this time. Even after she left, Ning Cheng was still left staring faintly at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was quite capable at staying calm even when things like Mt. Tai collapsing were right before her eyes, but her heart grew restless at Ning Cheng’s staring. She took out the antidote from her medical pouch.
“Here. Your crime of affronting me can be owed for a later date. This wangfei will add interest to the cost!”
Ning Cheng accepted the bottle expressionless before turning to leave without a word. But at the door, he paused to look back coldly. Han Yunxi assumed that he would speak, but he only gave her a deep, piercing look before walking away.
If not for Ning Jing revealing her feelings, Han Yunxi would never believe in the Di Clan’s loyalty so simply, much less in that fellow’s faith. After all, she already had a terrible impression of him when they...first met!
Ning Cheng strode off step by step with both hands behind his back. Nobody noticed the single acupuncture needle he was playing with in his hands--the same one that Han Yunxi had stabbed into his foot.

The appearance of the Wind Clan had finally calmed Han Yunxi down. She didn’t need to worry about the troublesome enmity between East and West Qin for the moment, at least. She told herself not to worry about anything. First, she’d get revenge for Gu Beiyue by exposing the Wind Clan’s sinister plots!
What would Long Feiye think about Gu Beiyue’s assassination? Can he discover the plot within it, too?
What is he doing right now?
Currently, Long Feiye had just arrived at Medical City. He made a beeline for the medical academy and the door to Han Yunxi’s rooms. Xu Donglin’s letter had reached him long ago, so he knew that Han Yunxi had been kidnapped.
Chu Xifeng, Xu Donglin, and the rest of the shadow guards were all kneeling by the entrance. Xu Donglin was clutching a purple muslin robe in his hands, afraid to step forward…
1. Helpful reminder: the culprit was actually Xi Yubo, who was working under Gu Beiyue’s orders. Old lies run deep...
2. Another reminder: Long Tianmo was poisoned twice; first by Xi Yubo, then by Jun Yixie after his kidnapping. They’re talking about the second time now.
