Chapter 1103: A surprise after the choice (2/2)

“We’re all stuck in his maze and can’t get out!” Han Yunxi said, giving her the antidote as she helped her to her feet. “The only way we’re leaving is if he dies!”

“Ning Jing, Tang Li’s already taken your daughter back to the Tang Clan. If you want to see her again, you hold on for me!” Han Yunxi muttered. The woman was so weak that she didn’t know if Ning Jing would last.

Hearing this, Ning Jing’s eyes shone. Her daughter was finally home and by her father’s side. She could stop worrying about her!

“Han Yunxi, I haven’t had revenge yet so you...you don’t need to worry! I won’t die!” Ning Jing replied stubbornly.

“Alright! We’ll get revenge together!” Han Yunxi suppressed her temper with effort as she silently vowed to pay Bai Yanqing back a thousand times for what he did to Ning Jing! Definitely!

Meanwhile, the poison source on her left was moving--extremely quickly.

“Gu Beiyue!” Han Yunxi blurted out. Only he was capable of such speeds! Is Gu Beiyue poisoned? Or Long Feiye instead, until Gu Qishao saved them? Han Yunxi didn’t chase after them immediately because they were too fast and she still had Ning Jing with her. She could only observe the changes in silence.

Soon enough, Han Yunxi realized the poison was only moving back and forth. It seemed...like a secret signal to her from Gu Beiyue! If that was the case, then the others hadn’t fallen into Bai Yanqing’s hands, but were still free!

“Ning Jing, quickly!” Han Yunxi was thrilled. But before she could chase after the poison, Bai Yanqing abruptly landed in front of them.

Yes, Bai Yanqing himself!

Han Yunxi would never forget his hypocritical looks!

“Yunxi, who taught you to pinpoint poisons?” Bai Yanqing’s tone was gentle like an kindly old man. He had been observing Han Yunxi’s actions from a distance and also knew Gu Qishao had poisoned Long Feiye. By now, he could tell this lass had a high aptitude for locating poisons! She discovered Ning Jing and Long Feiye’s poisons at the same time and accurately tracked the former down.

He’d sensed this in their previous interactions, but now he was certain. He already knew everything about her and Long Feiye, including their dual cultivation secret, but still couldn’t figure out how she’d learned her poison skills! She had grown up in the Han estate since childhood and was never taught by anyone. Moreover, Mu Xin didn’t even know poison skills.

As Bai Yanqing drew close, Lil Thing trapped in his poison storage space could sense its master too. It grew agitated, which Han Yunxi felt in turn. She could even sense Lil Thing trying like crazy to find an exit from its prison. Maybe I can take on Bai Yanqing alone if my poison storage space can level up.

“Why should I tell you?” Han Yunxi retorted.

Bai Yanqing was alone. It was possible Long Feiye hadn’t fallen into his hands, either.

“I can give you time to slowly consider whether to tell me the truth,” Bai Yanqing said as he stepped closer.

“Run…” Ning Jing muttered.

“We can’t run. Let’s see what he’s up to!” Han Yunxi murmured back. Sooner or later, she’d have to face him. She’d rather meet Bai Yanqing head on than run away pathetically. As long as the man wasn’t planning to kill her, they’d have a chance to murder him.

Seeing Han Yunxi stay put, Bai Yanqing stopped moving and chuckled. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Aren’t you the one afraid of me? You’ve been hiding this entire time, haven’t you?” Han Yunxi retorted.
