Chapter 169 Motive
Yunxi originally thought that she would be able to use an ordinary Thousand Mile Escape Talisman, and then planned to continue her training in the Canglan Continent at a normal speed, but a familiar sense of crisis suddenly surged into her heart.
This sense of crisis saved her many times and proved that her intuition in this area was very accurate. She looked around and saw that the view was very open, so it would be difficult to avoid any situation.
However, the sense of crisis grew stronger. After thinking for a moment, Yunxi took another Thousand Mile Escape Talisman and escaped to a mountain with many trees.
Yunxi used a speed talisman to quickly circle around the area several times. When a sense of crisis surged back into her heart, she moved her mind and appeared in the Sumeru Space.
And coincidentally, the place she landed was the same valley where she had previously gathered spiritual herbs, and the familiar scenery made her feel at ease.
The people tracking Yunxi were indeed very fast. Yunxi had just entered the space and disappeared from the spot when, in just a few breaths, the people tracking her used the Shrinking Earth technique to quickly catch up to the place where Yunxi disappeared.
The man circled the woods, but found that he had lost all trace of Yunxi, and he could not determine the direction Yunxi had gone.
"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Could it be that this person realized they were being followed and suddenly changed all their clothes and accessories here, even using cleaning spells several times? Or perhaps the person has some kind of magical artifact to conceal their presence, and might even be hiding here?" The person secretly speculated in their mind and made a decision.
Yunxi found that the sense of crisis in her heart had not disappeared, so she decided that she would not go out as long as this intuition remained. In any case, she had just obtained this Sumeru Space and had not yet studied it properly. She might as well take this opportunity to study the space first.

To Ning Xuan's surprise, the investigation into Zhou Weimin's poisoning was completed much faster than she had expected; she had thought it would take at least several days.
When she woke up the next day, she originally wanted to go straight back to the Hongxing Brigade, but then she thought that if the police station needed to question her again, she would take the initiative to go to the police station to ask if there was anything else she needed to cooperate with.
Then Uncle Hat told her that it was over, that the matter had been investigated and that Ning Xuan was innocent.
Ning Xuan was quite surprised.
She asked who the murderer was.
"It's He Yuting, who came with you yesterday. That girl isn't quite right in the head anymore." Uncle Hat told Ning Xuan, since she was also involved in the case.
It turns out that the hospital tested the powder last night and confirmed it was indeed rat poison.
Furthermore, Zhou Mancang heard on the phone that Zhou Jianguo still chose to call the police instead of handling the situation himself, and Ning Zhiqing was also taken away by Uncle Hat.
Zhou Weimin was worried that if he remained silent out of consideration for their marriage, Ning Xuan might actually be implicated by He Yuting.
So Zhou Weimin decided to report the incident to the police as the victim, and told them that he had seen rat poison in the house, but that the rat poison was no longer there.
Other team members who also received eggs from the brigade but haven't eaten them yet had their eggs collected by Uncle Hat and taken for testing.
There were quite a few eggs, and the testing personnel worked through the night to process them. The results showed that only the plate of eggs that Zhou Weimin ate contained rat poison, and the white powder on their stove was also rat poison. The eggs that the other team members were given were fine.
He Yuting initially refused to admit it, but after Zhou Weimin requested a prison visit, she saw that he was perfectly fine, and her mental defenses completely collapsed: "You're still alive? How could you still be alive, with such a large following!"
Thus, He Yuting confessed that she had planted the rat poison, but as she kept repeating it, Uncle Hat suspected that she had mental problems.
Through He Yuting's ramblings, everyone finally understood He Yuting's motive for wanting to poison Zhou Weimin. She felt that since He Qiaofang had been taken away and was a fake heiress, there wouldn't be anyone among the educated youth who was keeping such a close eye on Gu Yunze like He Qiaofang was.
In other words, she has a chance!
But the thought that she was already married made her heart, which had been warm, grow cold.
Unexpectedly, Liang Qingqing got married later, and she attended the wedding. Then, at the wedding, she saw Gu Yunze, who was much more handsome than the groom and had an extraordinary temperament. She was smitten again. When she saw the newlyweds taking an oath in front of the portrait of the leader, He Yuting didn't know why, but a thought flashed through her mind: "If she didn't have a husband, she could still remarry at any time and be a bride again."
After attending Liang Qingqing's wedding, He Yuting grew increasingly displeased with Zhou Weimin. He was about the same age as Gu Yunze, but looked much older. During the harvest season, when they were both working in the fields, Gu Yunze would never get himself covered in mud, while Zhou Weimin always ended up covered in it, which was disgusting to look at.
Most importantly, Zhou Weimin couldn't give her the life she wanted; she couldn't eat meat every few days, and she couldn't buy new clothes often.
To her surprise, Ning Xuan, who used to be skinny, dark-skinned, and sallow, had become fair-skinned and taller, even fairer than Xu Jiajia.
He Yuting thought that it must be because she managed the chicken farm and often stole eggs from the farm, and maybe even chickens, that she could have raised herself so well so quickly.
Then, her not-so-bright brain came up with a vicious plan to kill two birds with one stone: to poison Zhou Weimin, whom she despised, and then frame Ning Xuan for it.
When the time comes, the brigade will not only give her compensation because she is a victim, but even if they don't actively arrange for her to work at the chicken farm, she can still use her status as Zhou Weimin's widow to make this request to the brigade.
In addition, Zhou Weimin's father was the brigade's scorekeeper, so he always had some influence. If he didn't give her a back seat, she would say that she was not allowed to be pregnant with Zhou Weimin's child.
Then wait a while, until Zhou Weimin's matter cools down, and she has a job at the chicken farm again. She can also take better care of herself like Ning Xuan, and then find an opportunity to get close to Gu Yunze.
It has to be said that if Ning Xuan hadn't possessed the Rejuvenation Technique and saved Zhou Weimin, and if Ning Xuan hadn't needed any other special abilities later on, then He Yuting's wicked scheme might have actually succeeded by more than half.
Unfortunately, He Yuting wasn't very bright and couldn't even act properly. Because she disliked Zhou Weimin so much, she didn't even show him the most basic concern, and her performance was full of flaws.
However, Ning Xuan also felt quite sad. When she first met He Yuting, she really couldn't tell that she was this kind of person. She didn't know how she had ended up like this.
