Leng Xue knew his master disliked women touching him, but Miss Qian was an exception. Therefore, he tried his best to stop her before she made a mistake, lest his master get angry and take her life.
Waterweed was naturally uncomfortable with such a gesture, but the reminder of the difference in their status made her reluctant to pull her hand back.
"The carriage will continue deeper into the forest. Waterweed, go find a place where we can get off and hide." Xuan Mingye gradually caught his breath, but he couldn't circulate any spiritual energy in his body at the moment, lest it accelerate the outbreak of the poison.
"Yes!" Waterweed solemnly accepted the order and stepped out from behind the curtain.
After the waterweed left, Xuan Mingye looked at Leng Xue and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Buyu, has any other news come from you?"
“Yes!” Leng Xue took out a note from his body and handed it to his master.
Xuan Mingye opened it and his previously furrowed brows relaxed, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips, and the image of a certain woman floated into his mind.
It seems like a trap, but since Bu Yu doesn't intend to get involved, he deserves to be the one to get caught!
Leng Xue watched all this with a mixture of joy and worry for his master. Having someone you love means having a weakness, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like if an enemy were to target that weakness in the future.
Xuan Mingye waved his hand, and the note in his hand turned to ashes. He took a deep breath and spoke weakly, "Is there any trace of what I asked you to find?"
"I've heard about that thing..." Leng Xue hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.
"Speak!" Xuan Mingye roared.
"That thing is in the Wolf Ring region, but there's no specific source." Leng Xue could only report the information he had gathered.
Could this be a blessing in disguise?
Xuan Mingye already knew the purpose of the Ice Soul Silver Needles. If Qian Youxue truly possessed the ability, she might be able to better control the toxins in her body. At least until all the antidotes were found, the frequency of her attacks could be reduced, thus avoiding disrupting the original plan.
Leng Xue knew his master's stubborn nature, but still tried his best to persuade him: "Master, you can't go any further in with your body. Although I don't know what's wrong with this place, your body has clearly been acting strangely since we entered."
"Don't worry, I won't die!" Xuan Mingye touched the sash around his neck. With his mother's protection, he wouldn't die so quickly.
He still has very important things to do and very important people to find, so he won't be defeated by the enemy so easily.
The carriage sped up, but the assassins lurking in the shadows were impossible to shake off.
It seems the enemy has gone to great lengths; normally, Xuan Mingye's bodyguards would have already killed them all.
"Master, they've laid an ambush here." When Shuicao re-entered the carriage, her body was already stained with blood.
Xuan Mingye lifted the curtain and glanced out. The assassins' figures flashed among the trees, their tracking methods unique.
Black Bat!
The Xuanwu underground assassin organization is a top-ranking force. This force is not only powerful but also very mysterious. None of the people he sent out to investigate before returned alive.
He finally managed to capture someone alive, but it turned out to be a puppet being manipulated. Before he could even ask any questions, the person committed suicide by poisoning himself.
The assassins this time are far more skilled and adept at tracking than before; they must be ranked assassins within the organization. It seems some people have a well-thought-out plan!
"Oh no, Master, it looks like there's a cliff ahead." Leng Xue immediately deduced this after seeing the moonlight, because the moonlight could only be seen from the highest point in such a place.
