Chapter 150: Two Sides of the Flower (Part 1)

On the night Tang Chen and Black Crow Xihe left the palace, Shangguan Bing'er took advantage of the dark and windy night to sneak into Meiwu, searching left and right for something.

On the rooftop, Wang Yanzhou and Wang Nianqing, both dressed in black, quietly observed Shangguan Bing'er's every move in the dark night. Wang Yanzhou saw that her movements in Meiwu seemed to have been planned long ago.

Tang Chen likes to collect some strange and quirky gadgets, but among them, there doesn't seem to be anything too valuable. What is her purpose in going to such great lengths to get Lin Qinghui to introduce her?

Wang Yanzhou sneered and said, "The talent just left, and you can't help it so soon?"

Wang Nianqing was also very curious. From the day Wang Yanzhou and his team came into contact with Shangguan Bing'er, he, Zhong Qin, and Chen Xin had been reviewing all the information they could find about her. However, the final result was completely different from the facts before them: "Shangguan Bing'er's background and the people she had recently interacted with are all clean. Who is secretly helping her?"

Wang Yanzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear."

After saying this, Xihe, who was supposed to be staying by Tang Chen's side at this moment, came in the night. It seemed as if she had made an appointment with Shangguan Bing'er early in the morning to meet here.

Wang Nianqing was somewhat surprised to see Xihe appear: "Miss Xihe? Didn't she go to the town with your wife? How could she appear here?"

Wang Yanzhou lowered his voice a bit and explained, "Achen is simple-minded. She has taken anyone she trusts through our secret passage countless times."

Wang Nianqing nodded and said, "...It seems I need to open a few more lines later to prevent any accidents."

This secret passage wasn't anything special. Wang Yanzhou wouldn't leave anything important here. But there was one thing that was really strange: "Xihe's background is a mystery, and now she's involved with Shangguan Bing'er. What exactly is going on here? I'm really looking forward to it."

Xihe quietly returned to Meiwu. Hearing Shangguan Bing'er's disorderly footsteps and irregular heartbeat, he knew that this person had not found what he was looking for.

The man who was looking for something in Tang Chen's room breathed a sigh of relief when he saw help coming. He whispered, "Miss Xihe, thank you for your help these days."

Xihe tilted her head slightly to indicate she'd heard her, then walked directly to Tang Chen's bedside, squatted down, and pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed. The box contained all of Tang Chen's treasures. Shangguan Bing'er hadn't revealed what she wanted, so she couldn't help much.

Furthermore, the drama she had been involved in with this woman these days, which had caused Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou to quarrel, had been lingering in her mind for a long time. From now on, she had to do something to make up for Tang Chen.

Shangguan Bing'er rummaged through the wooden box Xihe had found for a long time before she said somewhat dejectedly, "The princess sent a message saying that Miss Xihe should come to the valley entrance in five days. She will come and take you home."

Upon hearing this, Xihe laughed helplessly. The desperation in her laughter was something Black Crow had never seen before. "...I can't escape. I've been out for so long, so I have no regrets."

Shangguan Bing'er had noticed something when she successfully connected with Xihe. Although blind, this woman was very perceptive. Furthermore, being related to Princess Shuyang and Prince Qingliang meant her background was definitely extraordinary. "Miss Xihe, it seems, is no ordinary person."

Xihe snorted coldly and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Let me warn you, your little tricks are just a joke in the eyes of others. Don't hurt Tang Chen with your jokes; otherwise, I will make you feel what hell is like."

The bloodthirsty tone in Xihe's words made Shangguan Bing'er's hair stand on end. This person was so different from the person she usually met. Could it be that she had been acting in front of these people?

With doubts in her heart, Shangguan Bing'er continued to test her, "Miss Xihe, you're too serious. I don't have that kind of ability. However, before you care about others, you should also care about yourself. From what you said, I'm afraid you won't be able to travel in this world anymore."

Shangguan Bing'er's final words dealt a heavy blow to Xihe's chest. It would have been fine if she had never left the tomb, but the colorful world outside the ancient tomb was truly fascinating. "...You talk a lot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xihe listened to the direction where the voice came from, and slowly walked towards Shangguan Bing'er step by step. Finally, after patting her shoulder gently, he left the room and walked into the yard.

Although this light pat had no power at all, the burning sensation on Shangguan Bing'er's shoulder was real: "Hiss, what did you do to me!"

The bright moon, which had been tightly covered by dark clouds just now, was now freed. Moonlight fell like a silver veil, slowly landing on Xihe's head.

Xihe smiled and waved her hands, her gesture as graceful and alluring as a dance in the moonlight. Xihe swayed, removing the veil from her head. The next second, she appeared beside Shangguan Bing'er and whispered, "It's just some harmless poison. It won't kill you. But be careful. This poison will erupt if you have sex with a man. Don't scare anyone then."

Shangguan Bing'er heard this and her eyes widened. She was about to grab Xihe, but she waved her hand and only caught half an inch of moonlight: "You, give me the antidote!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am a medicine girl, not a doctor." After saying that, Xihe disappeared in the palace like a phantom walking in the night.

Shangguan Bing'er gnashed her teeth as she stared at her right shoulder. She didn't bother looking for anything else, but hurried back to the nearest room, took off her clothes, and checked the location of her "injury." It seemed like she had only felt a brief pain when Xihe had touched her, and now she felt nothing at all.

Shangguan Bing'er examined him carefully. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a purple flower bud mark on his shoulder, she would have thought Xihe was just joking with her. This woman, how could she be so different in front of others and behind their backs? She was harmless in front of Tang Chen, but turned out to be a vicious woman!

Wang Yanzhou and the other man, who were watching from a distance, couldn't hear what they said, but they were fully aware of their every move. Wang Nianqing saw Xihe leave and asked, "Do you want me to follow?"

Wang Yanzhou shook his head and said, "Don't you and I know Xihe's abilities? Her hearing is beyond our reach, so she must have discovered us long ago. Shangguan Bing'er was the signal she gave us."
