Chapter 278: Trying to Destroy the Birthday Gift
From the moment she decided to save Ciyu, Su Chenyu knew that she had an additional responsibility. She could not sacrifice Ciyu for her own selfish reasons. Then what was the difference between her actions and those in the Black Mountain Underground Palace?
"Although Ciyu is young, she is very thoughtful." Li Liyanqing reminded, "She was not without guard against us before. She told us the scene in her dream with the intention of testing us."
Su Chenyu nodded: "I know, she is just too scared. As long as what she did did not hurt others, why should we pursue it?"
Li Yanqing did not say anything more about Ciyu: "As long as you have made up your mind, it's fine. Ciyu's illness will probably take a few days to recover. We are not far from Xiajing, and there is still more than a month before the birthday of the King of Xixia. There is no need to be as anxious as before. It's just right to rest for a few days."
"Yeah." Su Chenyu responded. At this moment, she thought of the scene predicted by Ciyu. "Ciyu saw the fire in the posthouse. Could this incident have anything to do with us?"
Li Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible for the posthouse to catch fire suddenly, unless someone deliberately set it on fire."
The two of them immediately thought of the same person. Among all the people they had offended during this period, the person most likely to do this out of revenge seemed to be Feng Feixu.
The two smiled at each other and came up with an idea...
At this moment, in another room of the inn, Furong and Handan were standing face to face, and the other four holy envoys were standing beside them, not daring to interfere between the two.
Furong looked at Handan who appeared in front of her intact. She was already cursing Mei'er in her heart for not doing a good job, but she didn't dare to tell anyone that she and the underground palace had already conspired. She had a hypocritical smile on her face: "Handan, we were so worried during the time you were away with us. Did anything happen to you outside?"
Handan smiled slightly: "Of course nothing happened. After I got separated from you, I had to go to Xixia alone. Along the way, I met many kind people who were willing to give me a ride. That's how I came to Xixia smoothly. I didn't expect to meet you again in the posthouse."
Handan was wearing a coarse cloth dress. Although it was plain, it was clean and tidy. Especially her eyes were bright and she didn't look like anything had happened.
Mei'er had clearly promised her that she would send Handan to the bandit's lair and then transfer her to the Xixia military camp as a military prostitute. Furong knew Handan's character. If she was really violated, she would definitely commit suicide, but nothing happened now.
However, Furong felt that Handan was deliberately deceiving her. She didn't know any martial arts. How could a weak woman escape from the bandit's lair?
Thinking of this, Furong deliberately stepped forward and grabbed Handan: "Handan, you are the Saint's most valued Holy Envoy. If something really happens, how can we explain it to the Saint?"
She deliberately pushed Handan's sleeve upwards, and the toad blood on the inside of her arm was still there, stinging Furong's eyes and shattering the last bit of hope in her heart.
The Holy Envoy of Nanyue must remain chaste, so a toad sand is applied on the inside of each of their arms. If the toad sand is not there, there is only one way to go, and that is death.
Handan naturally understood Furong's thoughts. Seeing that they all saw the toad's blood on the inside of her arm, she broke free from Furong's hands, put her sleeves down again, and said slowly: "Now, are you relieved?"
Furong smiled awkwardly: "What do you mean by that?"
"You just wanted to see if my uterus seal was still there. Now that you've seen it, are you happy or unhappy?"
Furong had not expected Handan's sudden change of attitude. Handan's character had always been very docile, which was why she dared to attack Handan. Even if she was defeated, Handan did not dare to resist.
"Handan, what nonsense are you talking about? We are all Holy Envoys, why do you think so badly of me?"
"Furong, don't forget, you are the Saint's person, don't do anything you shouldn't do!"
