Su Yiren was even more puzzled, "They're not in a marriage alliance, so why are they worried I'll steal Shen Su away? I'm not that... desperate, am I?"
Su Yiren was filled with deep doubt. What was this all about? An undeserved disaster?
"That's just how it is. Do you want revenge?"
Mingyue shrugged, "Not a single lie she told was a lie."
He definitely wants revenge.
What she didn't expect was that the reason behind it was so hasty?
She even guessed that she might have offended some big shot and was being retaliated against, but she never expected it to be for this reason.
"But how could she have poisoned me without getting close to me?"
She and Ning Mu did meet a few times, during a struggle for treasures, but she left after failing to snatch any and never saw each other again.
The last time they met was at the martial arts tournament. It was after that that she returned home with damaged meridians and a shattered dantian.
However, during the martial arts tournament, she followed her master the whole time, and all her food and drink were handled by her master. Her master had no reason to help Ning Mu harm her, right?
"You can't defend against non-natural energy, of course."
Unnatural energy?
Su Yiren felt like her brain was about to explode. What kind of astronomy was her benefactor talking about?
"Should I seek revenge?"
Mingyue, biting into a meat bun, said, "It's up to you."
Su Yiren remained silent, repeatedly reviewing her benefactor's words in her mind, but she still couldn't understand. "Benefactor, do you think Ning Mu can still be saved?"
"He can live," Mingyue thought for a moment, "but he won't wake up."
Can't wake up?
Paralyzed?
How can she take revenge then?
"Oh, right, these are for you." Mingyue took out the snake fruit that Su Yiren had given her and the Five Tigers Sect's gold-plated snow lotus fruit.
"This is too expensive, I can't afford it."
Su Yiren instantly forgot about Ning Mu and hurriedly declined.
"Take it, I don't need it anymore. Ye Jiusheng is alright, you should teach him a thing or two." Mingyue's tone was relaxed, but her captivating peach blossom eyes darkened. "Can you collect my corpse?"
Su Yiren: ?
Her benefactor.
The benefactor who was talking eloquently just a second ago.
The next second, his head drooped down, and he leaned softly against the cushion of the carriage.
Su Yiren's pupils dilated uneasily, and her throat was so constricted that she couldn't even make a sound. Su Yiren almost dazedly reached out and sighed at Mingyue's nose, but she wasn't breathing.
"Ye Jiusheng..."
Su Yiren's voice was very soft, almost inaudible.
But the carriage stopped.
Ye Jiusheng lifted the curtain and knelt down in front of Su Yiren. "Sister Su, don't be sad."
Su Yiren stared intently at Mingyue, her hands trembling as she lifted Mingyue's eyelids, her pupils unfocused.
"Ye Jiusheng".
Su Yiren called out again.
Ye Jiusheng: "Mm."
"Ye Jiusheng".
"Um."
She called Ye Jiusheng countless times before Su Yi finally reacted. She stiffly turned her head and looked at Ye Jiusheng with a bitter smile, "My benefactor is gone."
Ye Jiusheng then noticed that Su Yiren's eyes were wet, and tears were falling one by one onto the back of his hand, burning Ye Jiusheng's heart. "Sister Su..."
Is it because I can't cook?
She asked.
Ye Jiusheng shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. This lord had given him a difficult problem.
Last night, he was trying to cultivate in the backyard of the inn when he ran into Mingyue, who was returning home late. "Sister, aren't you resting yet, it's so late?"
"I'm bored, so I'm going out for a walk."
"Is Sister hungry? Let me make you a bowl of noodles." Ye Jiusheng guessed that Mingyue had probably gone out to find food, but came back because there was no one in the shops on the street.
Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay."
The noodles cooked quickly, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Ye Jiusheng also cracked two eggs, put them in a large bowl, and placed it in front of Mingyue.
Seeing that Mingyue was enjoying her meal, Ye Jiusheng decided to serve himself a small bowl as well.
"I'll show you something, but you can't describe it. Would you like that?"
"What is so magical?" Ye Jiusheng didn't take it seriously. "It's just what my sister said, so of course I'm willing."
Mingyue smiled. The moon was very round and bright that night. Ye Jiusheng knew everything. He knew that Su Yiren didn't understand what Mingyue was saying, but he did.
But he couldn't utter a single word. He had a vague feeling that the adult might not be from this world.
