Chapter 23 (Twenty-three) Agency
Yin Ruchen woke up and heard the words "Chuqinwu". He said, "Master, is it Chuqinwu that I was hit by?"
"It should be. Ruchen, you're awake, how do you feel?" Rong Yu asked.
"I'm... much better." Yin Ruchen said, "Blowing Qinwu, I heard the name of this poison when I was investigating. Someone in the village was poisoned by it and was cured by using Nirvana Primrose. But, I don't know where to find Nirvana Primrose..."
"Nirvana Primrose?!" Rong Yu said happily, "It's in Jiulan Mountain! There is a place nearby where Nirvana Primrose grows. I'll go find it now!" Rong Yu said.
"I'll go too!" Yan Moying said.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the men in black?" Gao Cai said.
"Since you are hiding here, don't go out. Stay here and look after her. I'll be back soon." Rong Yu said. She didn't know why she trusted Yan Moying so much. Maybe she was really moved by his sincerity. She was not completely unguarded against the two of them, but she felt that as long as Yan Moying was by Yin Ruchen's side, Yin Ruchen would be safe. She thought about asking her other disciples to look after Yin Ruchen, but on the one hand, they each had their own tasks, and on the other hand, she didn't want other disciples to see Yin Ruchen's current appearance. After all, it was she who caused Yin Ruchen to kneel in the snow for so long after being poisoned. Although this was handled according to the rules of the sect, everyone's thoughts were complicated and varied. She didn't know what the disciples would think if they knew about this, but Guiyuan already knew about it, so after the meeting, she specifically reminded Guiyuan not to take the initiative to tell other disciples about Yin Ruchen's poisoning if no one mentioned it.
Chapter 13
Master Shi Yepeng and his two disciples followed the woman in green all the way to Jiulan Mountain.
Seeing the woman in green walking towards the cliff, the three were shocked: there was clearly no way ahead, what was she going to do?
The woman in green was groping at the edge of the cliff. When she touched a mechanism, she pressed it hard. A stone slab popped out from below and she jumped onto it. She then found the mechanism again and pressed it hard. When a stone slab popped out from below, she jumped onto the next one... It turned out that she knew the method to enter Jiulan Gate very well!
When the woman in green jumped onto the first stone slab from the top, Shi Yepeng and the other two felt that if they didn't get closer to see what she was doing, they might not be able to catch up with her, and all their hard work would be in vain. So the three of them approached the cliff very slowly and quietly. When they reached the edge of the cliff, the woman in green had already started climbing up the ladder to the stone below.
At this time, Shi Yepeng winked at his two disciples and asked them to go down first. Therefore, when Zhukong and Feiwu went down to the third and second stone slabs from the top respectively, Shi Yepeng went down to the first stone slab.
Suddenly, many darts flew up from below. The three were in a desperate situation and could not dodge so many darts, so they were all hit.
Zhukong and Feiwu were on the third and second floors respectively, so after being hit by the dart, they had to endure the pain and try to keep their balance, clinging tightly to the cliff wall to prevent their bodies from falling into the abyss. Shi Yepeng had just reached the first floor, so he immediately jumped back onto the cliff after being hit by the dart.
When Shi Yepeng jumped back to the cliff, the two were about to jump back with him, but the stone slab on the cliff suddenly retracted. It turned out that the woman in green had entered the cave and turned the mechanism. With two screams of "Ah" and "Ah", Zhukong and Feiwu fell into the clouds.
