"Hahaha, Junior Sister Qingyu, what a pity, I almost succeeded."
Chai Yanchen still had a smile on his lips, but the coldness deep in his eyes flashed by in an instant.
He sheathed his dagger and looked at the man in black in front of him.
"Is this a senior member of the Prisoner Wind Hall?"
The man in black's deep voice came from under his mask.
“Chai Yanchen, the hall master sent me to follow and protect Qingyu, so don’t push your luck.”
"Hmph, I didn't expect that Lin Youyou would actually value her so much."
Chai Yanchen looked at Qingyu behind the man in black, his smiling eyes holding a hint of amusement.
"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer."
After speaking, he glanced at Qingyu, whose face was flushed, and swallowed almost imperceptibly.
Then he turned and walked deeper into the woods.
"Damn it, give it to me..."
Qingyu gritted her teeth, but her eyes became unfocused and dazed.
Her body trembled slightly as she forcefully suppressed the burning heat and desire that threatened to engulf her.
"Don't rush. Take this pill and then use your spiritual energy to regulate your breathing. You will soon be able to expel the aphrodisiac."
The man in black took out a pill and handed it to Qingyu.
Qingyu accepted the pill, but still hesitated.
"I was sent here by Hall Master Lin Youyou, I would never harm you."
Perhaps feeling that what he said made some sense, and that there was indeed no need for him to plot against her, Qingyu then put the pill into her mouth.
As soon as the pill entered her mouth, Qingyu immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, following the instructions of the man in black to expel the aphrodisiac from her body.
Sweat slid down her forehead and dripped down her delicate cheeks like morning dew sliding off flower petals.
Qingyu felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, and as if raging fire was burning her internal organs.
She frowned in pain, and before she knew it, Yun Si Ning's somewhat playful face had appeared in her heart.
"Senior sister, look, I've learned a new spiritual technique today!"
"Senior sister, what realm do you think is above the Dragon Marrow Realm?"
"Senior sister, you really defeated Senior Brother Liu from Crimson Cloud Peak with just one punch!"
"Senior sister..."
"Senior sister..."
As she watched these scenes, Qingyu's expression gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
As time went by, the effects of the aphrodisiac gradually weakened, and her spiritual power was almost exhausted.
Finally, the aphrodisiac was completely expelled from her body, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Sweat soaked Qingyu's clothes, but a tired yet relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you for your help, senior."
"You were sent by Lin Youyou to protect me?"
The man in black nodded.
Why do this?
No comment.
"Then please tell me, what did Chai Yanchen do to me?"
"This is aphrodisiac. It began to invade your body the moment you saw it."
"That's what the man in black said."
"Chai Yanchen will draw your attention through conversation until you are completely infected by the aphrodisiac before making his move."
"Aphrodisiac... This is not a technique of the Four Symbols Divine Sect."
"That's right."
"Is he lying to me?"
"No, Chai Yanchen is indeed a disciple of the Four Symbols Divine Sect, but he is also the successor chosen by the Heavenly Poppy Hall."
What is Tianying Hall?
"I can't tell you that right now."
"Oh, he just said you're from the Prisoner Wind Hall. Could it be the organization Lin Youyou mentioned?"
The man in black remained silent and did not answer her question.
"Then let me ask you another question: Why is this person here? Is it just to kill me?"
"Killing you was just something he did on a whim; his purpose in coming here was the same as yours."
"Are you also here to obtain that inheritance?"
"That's right."
"hateful!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyu completely disregarded her depleted spiritual energy and hurriedly got up from the ground.
She originally thought she was the only one who knew about the inheritance, but unexpectedly, there were others competing with her.
Besides Chai Yanchen, there might be a few others who will also be vying for that inheritance.
"Don't rush, you'd better recover first."
"There's no time, I...I have to leave immediately."
But after she had stood up halfway, she swayed and fell back down.
Having just expelled the aphrodisiac, she had exhausted most of her spiritual power, and her sea of consciousness had been repeatedly eroded, leaving her still somewhat dazed.
Seeing her like this, the man in black sighed inwardly.
"Let me tell you directly, Si Yiqi's tomb will not open for another five days. At that time, many competitors will enter at the same time, so there is no need to rush."
Hearing him say that, Qingyu's expression relaxed a little.
"I see......"
"Alright, you can stay here and recuperate for a while. There's nothing more for me to do."
As he spoke, the man in black was about to disappear into the shadows once more.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Qingyu called out to him.
"Do you know what happened to my junior sister?"
When Yun Si Ning was mentioned, the man in black hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"She's fine."
"Then why can't I contact her?"
"She may be in seclusion."
"Are you really alright?"
Qingyu always had a vague feeling that something was not right.
"Of course it's fine. Do you doubt that our leader won't keep his promise?"
"If that were the case, I wouldn't be here now; you would have been killed by Chai Yanchen just now."
Hearing him say this, Qingyu pondered for a while and then nodded.
Immediately, the man in black disappeared into the shadows.
Seeing him leave, Qingyu frowned.
She always felt that Lin Youyou wasn't as malicious as she appeared.
But Si Yiqi's inheritance may not be so simple.
"call--"
Qingyu let out another long breath, readjusted her mindset, and tried to calm herself down.
Deep down, she had already designated Chai Yanchen as a target she was determined to kill.
For no other reason than that the other party used aphrodisiacs on her.
And the way Chai Yanchen looked at her earlier was definitely not just about wanting to kill her.
"Hmph, no one can touch my body."
"If there is one, it can only be..."
At that moment, for some reason, a pretty and lovely face appeared in her mind.
But soon, she suppressed these thoughts and buried them deep in her heart.
