Chapter 369: Forget Love Blossoms

Outside Huaisang Courtyard, swords and spears clashed, blood splattered, as if it were a small battlefield.

Inside the Huaisang Courtyard, Ye Wuque seemed not to hear the noise outside the house and stared at the Forget-Me-Not Flower without blinking.

As he watched the gorgeous plum-like petals bloom little by little, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"It's open..."

After waiting for so long, it’s finally open!

But before he could be happy for long, he felt an overwhelming murderous intent coming.

His eyes turned cold, and he immediately picked the forget-me-not flower, pinched Xie Zhuoning's mouth open, and fed it into her mouth.

He even used his inner strength to regulate his breathing and helped her swallow it quickly.

His voice was very soft, almost tempting, "Xiao Cao'er, eat this, and your love poison will be cured. Be good, be good, okay?"

But Xie Zhuoning's hateful gaze made his eyes hurt.

He smiled softly and consoled himself, "It's okay, I know you hate me now, but you will soon fall in love with me. We are the most perfect match in this world..."

"Bang--"

The door was broken open, Xiao Jinxuan drew out his soft sword, and pointed the tip of the sword straight at him.

"Ye Wuque, are you worthy of wanting her?!"

The violent roar seemed to contain a murderous intent, as if to tear everything in front of him to pieces.

Xie Zhuoning looked at the person who came and couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Jinxuan, you're here..."

Hearing her name, Ye Wuque looked at the man in front of him without surprise.

From the first moment he saw him, Ye Wuque sensed a familiar yet disgusting aura from him.

Xiao Jinxuan, it was indeed him.

Why did he gain Xie Zhuoning's full trust and concern?

What made her look forward to it so much?

She had never, never smiled so easily, brilliantly, and brightly in front of me...

With resentment surging in his heart and mist in his eyes, Ye Wuque took out his weapon and immediately swung out with a sword to block the almost brutal attack.

"Xiao Jinxuan, I regret that I failed to kill you at the rope bridge."

"But it's not too late now."

He will not let go of anyone who stands in his way!

Xiao Jinxuan frowned, "Really? Then let's try and see who dies first!"

The swords collided with each other with great force, seeming to be able to sweep away everything.

Song Yuqiu pulled Xie Zhuoning to hide under the table, watching the flying sand and rocks outside the house. It was the first time they witnessed a real duel between martial arts masters.

"Oh my god, even five hundred dollars of special effects can't create a scene like this!"

Xie Zhuoning didn't understand her "crazy talk" and just silently calculated the time, "One more stick of incense."

Just one more stick of incense...

A streak of blood flowed across Ye Wuque's face. He landed on the eaves with his toes, wiped it with his hand, looked at the red on his fingertips, and couldn't help laughing, "Everyone says that King Xuan of Daye is unparalleled in archery, but few people know that this martial art is also unrivaled."

Xiao Jinxuan continued to attack, "I'm more than capable of dealing with you."

"Really? Then let's try it." Ye Wuque's eyes were cold. He flicked his sleeves and threw out several poisonous snakes, which attacked his face directly.

But before it could get close, it was shattered into pieces by the internal force!

Song Yuqiu was stunned. "This move is so cool! Sister Zhuo Ning, can you ask His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to teach me?"

This way, she will no longer be afraid of being threatened with poisonous snakes!

Xie Zhuoning's lips twitched. "It's fine to teach you, but to reach this level, you have to practice martial arts for at least sixty years."

"That's better off."

While they were talking, the two exchanged hundreds of moves.

When their palms met, the floor was blown away. Xiao Jinxuan and Ye Wuque both retreated several feet and spat out blood.

At this moment, Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he ran uncontrollably towards Ye Wuque, his eyes full of worry and tension, "Are you injured? How is it? Let me see if it hurts?"

Everyone was stunned by this situation.

Xiao Jinxuan's pupils narrowed suddenly and he looked at her in disbelief.

Ye Wuque also realized that the Forget-Me-Not Flower might have taken effect.

A huge joy surged from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes lit up, "Xiao Cao'er, are you, caring about me?"

"I..." Xie Zhuoning's eyes faltered for a moment, then he became determined, "Nonsense, I don't care who you care about?"

"Hahahaha!" Ye Wuque couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It worked, it actually worked!

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jinxuan. "Your Highness, if we continue to fight, both of us will suffer. Since we both have the same goal and are here for the same person, why not ask her who she wants to go with?"

Xiao Jinxuan vaguely realized that something was wrong and immediately reached out to Xie Zhuoning, his tone nervous and anxious, "Aning, come here!"

Everyone's eyes were on Xie Zhuoning, waiting to see her reaction.

She glanced at Xiao Jinxuan, but immediately looked away and carefully hid behind Ye Wuque, "Who are you? I don't know you."

"What..." Seeing that he didn't recognize himself, Xiao Jinxuan was shocked and stunned.

And it was not until this moment that Ye Wuque finally relaxed his breath.

She really forgot about Xiao Jinxuan!

From now on, there will only be traces of her own existence in her heart!

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, I'm so sorry. It seems that Xiao Cao already has the answer in her heart..."

The smile was still on his lips, but he froze there before he could even finish his words.

“Puff——”

Xie Zhuoning held the hairpin in her hand and thrust it fiercely into his back.

He turned his head and looked at her in disbelief, "Why...why..."

Not only the wounds on his back, but even his eyes, nose, and ears began to bleed slowly.

Xie Zhuoning took a step back and looked at him coldly, "That's not the Forgetfulness Flower, it's the Immaculate Flower. You feed it with your blood day and night, which has stimulated the poison. You have already been poisoned imperceptibly!"

The Immaculate Flower blooms on the ninth day, and the day it blooms is the day the poison takes effect.

This was the moment she had been waiting for.

Ye Wuque's expression changed immediately. After learning that she had been plotting this, the first thing he said was, "Why didn't you tell me when I fed you?! Song Yuqiu, give her the antidote immediately, do you hear me?!"

At this point, what he cared about most was Xie Zhuoning's safety.

Song Yuqiu sighed, "Don't worry, this flower is poison to you, but to Sister Yu Zhuoning it is the antidote to the muscle softener you gave her."

So the day his flower blooms is when the poison takes effect, but it is also the day when Sister Zhuo Ning is freed.

Ye Wuque breathed a sigh of relief, staggered to his feet with blood all over his face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times towards the sky.

"Haha...it's fake...everything is fake..."

It’s not that he didn’t doubt the authenticity of the forgetfulness flower seed, but he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, wondering, what if it was real?

"After all, I just want a..."

He managed to stand still, looked at Xie Zhuoning, and suddenly smiled brightly.

"Forget it. I'll force you to fight. Losing half your life here today will be considered as atonement."

"Can you please forgive me this time?"
