Chapter 5 The Master of Medicine Valley
Moon Palace.
"Who's there?" Zi Yi sensed someone entering. She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, reached under her pillow, pulled out a dagger, and looked warily toward the door.
The next second, over twenty silver needles shot straight at her from all directions. Zi Yi dodged one, two, three... but there were just too many needles, and she was still hit...
Zi Yi: !!!
She coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and the dagger fell from her hand...
Zi Yi casually wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and shouted angrily, "Who is it? Show yourself!"
The next second, the Moonlight Palace lit up, and Zi Yi saw Luo Xi, dressed in a white dress, standing not far to her left. She was startled.
Zi Yi: !!!
She recognized Luo Xi. "Valley Master Ye, I have no grudge against you. Why did you break into my Hehuan Sect and even hurt me?"
Luo Xi walked towards her step by step, stopping two steps away. She looked at Zi Yi lying on the ground, blood trickling from her lips, and said, "Ha! No grudge or enmity?"
"Ziyi, I am a descendant of the Luo family. I have come here today to seek revenge on you."
“More than a decade ago, you led your men to slaughter my entire Luo family. Tonight, I will kill everyone in your Hehuan Sect, including you.”
Zi Yi: !!!
Descendants of the Luo family? How come there are still members of the Luo family alive? Weren't they all dead?
Oh! Right, Ye Xi, no, it's Luo Xi. She's Li Xia's apprentice, so Li Xia must have rescued her. Otherwise, she couldn't have survived.
That idiot Li Xia, she was clearly involved in the massacre of her entire family back then, yet she's so incredibly self-righteous, actually saving a member of the Luo family. She's truly fearless.
Zi Yi: "There are so many people in my Hehuan Sect. Although your martial arts are high, can you kill them all by yourself?"
"You can't kill them all. If you kill me, they will definitely avenge me."
Luo Xi smiled slightly, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
"Killing people isn't something I can do myself; that would be too tiring."
"You forgot, I know how to use poison. Over the years, I've spent my free time researching some minor poisons."
"Oh dear, it's already this late. Your disciples are probably poisoned by now. Perhaps those venomous insects are eating their flesh and blood."
Zi Yi: !!!
That's impossible; she's lying to her.
Luo Xi picked up the sword hanging in Zi Yi's room and chopped off Zi Yi's hands. A moment later, dozens of poisonous insects, drawn by the strong smell of blood, rushed over...
Zi Yi: !!!
She watched in horror as the insects burrowed into the wounds where Luo Xi had just severed her hands. She could still feel them gnawing at her flesh. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What... what is this?"
Luo Xi said quietly, "I'm afraid you don't know about the poisonous insects I raise, so I'll let you see them."
Zi Yi: !!!
She hates bugs the most; they're disgusting, and what's more, they even went into her wound...
Then she saw that the blood on her wound was flowing out more and more.
It's all Li Xia's fault. If it weren't for her, Luo Xi wouldn't be alive.
At one point, Ziyi really wanted to tell Luoxi that her master was also one of the culprits who wiped out the Luo family back then.
After all, if it weren't for Li Xia, Luo Xi wouldn't be alive, nor would she have come to seek revenge.
However, she wanted Luo Xi dead more than Li Xia.
She was clever; she figured that if she died, Li Xia would suspect that she had told Luo Xi something. Li Xia would definitely think that she would tell Luo Xi about what happened back then and wanted to die with her.
Li Xia would never have guessed that she hadn't actually told Luo Xi anything.
So, when Li Xia's suspicion and dissatisfaction with the clueless Luo Xi reached its peak, she would definitely take action against Luo Xi...
Ultimately, if they could both be severely injured and die, that would be ideal. If not, then she hoped Li Xia would be smart and kill Luo Xi.
After all, she would rather the Luo family members die than Li Xia.
Therefore, Ziyi didn't say anything in the end.
However, even though she didn't say anything, Luo Xi still suspected Li Xia. After all, Li Xia's behavior of stopping her from seeking revenge was very unusual, and Luo Xi felt that Li Xia was definitely hiding something from her.
Coupled with Ziyi's inexplicable laughter just now, it made her even more suspicious.
Could it be that Master is involved in the massacre of the Luo family?
