Hearing what Gongzi Yu said, Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "I'm getting old! I never thought that my life would be firmly in someone's hands from beginning to end."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a mix of lingering fear and relief.
Fortunately, both Gongzi Yu and I have always chosen to befriend Chu Qinghe rather than offend him.
Otherwise, the best outcome would be for them to get rid of Chu Qinghe, then die from the poison and go to the underworld to join him.
Hearing what Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng said, Mingyue Xin frowned and said, "Since Chu Qinghe poisoned you from the beginning, why do you still trust him so much?"
In response to Mingyue Xin's question, Gongzi Yu explained, "In the martial world, it is understandable to use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. We were not familiar with Brother Chu before, and the fact that he was able to control our lives and deaths so quietly is his skill."
"And most importantly, Brother Chu did not directly poison us, but put the choice in our own hands."
“As long as we don’t actively make enemies of Brother Chu, the poison in our bodies won’t take effect. Since there’s no intention to harm us, why can’t we trust him?”
With his experience and knowledge, Gongzi Yu had long understood that the world was not simply black and white.
In most cases, the definition of good and evil, and right and wrong, varies from person to person and is simply a matter of perspective.
For Chu Qinghe, poisoning them beforehand was simply a way to put his mind at ease and to take precautions.
Putting himself in Chu Qinghe's shoes, Gongzi Yu was certain that he would do the same thing.
A moment later, after the situation in the courtyard had been roughly tidied up, one of Gongzi Yu's personal guards returned to the courtyard.
"My lord, the red beans have been purchased."
As he spoke, the man unwrapped the paper in his hand, revealing the red beans inside.
After glancing at the red bean, Gongzi Yu looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "I'll have to trouble Elder Bai to protect me for the next few days."
Bai Xiaosheng said nonchalantly, "Don't worry."
After saying that, Gongzi Yu slowly turned around and looked at Chu Qinghe's residence across the courtyard, saying, "I've troubled you these past few days, Brother Chu."
"Um!"
As soon as the voice fell, a lazy voice echoed through the courtyard and reached the ears of Gongzi Yu and the others.
Seeing this, Gongzi Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Chu's strength is becoming increasingly unfathomable."
After saying this, Gongzi Yu called out to Mingyue Xin and then walked towards the main house in the courtyard.
Bai Xiaosheng then slowly walked to a wooden bench in the courtyard.
With his back to the other guards brought by Gongzi Yu, Bai Xiaosheng took out a book from his pocket and slowly began to read.
If Sun Baifa were here now, he would immediately recognize that the book Bai Xiaosheng was reading was the very same picture album that he had bought from Tianxiang Pavilion in the capital at great expense just half a month ago.
The portraits of a hundred courtesans from Tianxiang Pavilion and their romantic escapades are preserved on it.
When his gaze lingered on the picture book, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, brimming with wisdom.
Bai Xiaosheng also has some knowledge of health preservation.
Like now, looking at things that can make your heart beat faster and your blood vessels expand can help speed up blood flow and prevent many age-related diseases.
