"There’s no need."
Lu Yuan spoke calmly, "Yu Zichuan can handle it. You co with to a place first."
ng Qianqian asked, "Where to?"
Lu Yuan weighed the berry in his hand, "You’ll know when we get there."
They sat for a while longer, and the heavy rain stopped.
Lu Yuan and ng Qianqian exited the cave.
The mountains were colder than the Capital City, and after the rain, the chill cut to the bone, as if it were early winter.
Lu Yuan took off his cloak and tossed it to ng Qianqian.
"I’m not cold..."
"I’m hot."
"Oh."
ng Qianqian wrapped the cloak around her and followed him forward, "Grand Commander, this is the way down the mountain. Aren’t we going to look for Luo San? Where are you taking ?"
Lu Yuan replied aloofly, "I told you, you’ll know when we get there."
ng Qianqian muttered, "But if you don’t say, I’m nervous. I always fear you’re deceiving ."
Lu Yuan stopped, turned around, and coldly stared at her, "ng Xiaojiu, you’ve got so nerve with !"
ng Qianqian turned her head in grievance.
Lu Yuan glanced at her and asked, "Can’t walk anymore?"
ng Qianqian said with ease, "Not at all, I’m full of strength. I could even carry you without a problem!"
Lu Yuan hesitated, frowning slightly.
ng Qianqian caught up with him, walking side by side, turning to him with a smile, "Want to carry you?"
Lu Yuan said flatly, "No need."
ng Qianqian stopped, smiling as she watched his back, "Then I’m not walking anymore."
Lu Yuan turned around, "What do you an?"
ng Qianqian crossed her arms, "It ans... I’m done playing along with you, Luo San."
Lu Yuan’s expression stiffened, and he coldly rebuked, "What nonsense are you speaking?"
ng Qianqian removed the water pouch from her waist and smiled aningfully, "Both of you tried to drug , but didn’t you know I have the Golden Silkworm Gu? The strongest Gu in Miaojiang, the fiercest poison in the world, no hypnotic or poison can hold a candle to it. Even if you make drink ten jugs, a hundred jugs, I wouldn’t be the least affected."
Lu Yuan sighed, "Stop ssing around."
ng Qianqian curved her lips into a smile, "Not admitting it, are you? Then I shall... murder my husband!"
With that, she suddenly drew the Brocade Spring Saber from her waist, slashing it towards his neck.
Since going to the border, she practiced martial arts diligently every day to regain her past life’s strength in this body as soon as possible.
Now, it’s a good opportunity to practice on Luo San and see how much she’s improved.
This strike showed no rcy.
Although the opponent dodged quickly, her blade was even faster.
The blade rose and fell, and a thin line of blood imdiately appeared on the opponent’s neck, the crimson blood flowing down, mixing with the water droplets dislodged by the blade’s force, soaking into his collar.
ng Qianqian didn’t give him a chance to react, swiftly executing a second strike, aiming to cut him open.
His expression changed drastically, "Truly a mad woman!"
He sidestepped, slapping ng Qianqian’s wrist, diverting her force.
The Brocade Spring Saber suddenly fell, but unexpectedly, ng Qianqian’s left hand, which had been prepared, caught it securely.
The second strike!
ng Qianqian slashed off the human skin mask from his face.
"You—"
He staggered back a few steps, looking at ng Qianqian in disbelief, "How did you see through ?"
ng Qianqian slashed the human skin mask on the ground to pieces, "Seeing through you, was that difficult?"
The opponent furrowed his brows, "Impossible, my Disguise Technique is taught by Bai Xiaosheng, known as the Thousand Faces Gentleman, not just disguising one’s appearance but also their spirit, habits, and voice, there could be no flaw!"
ng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Do you think just because you say there’s no flaw, there’s none?"
The opponent pondered for a mont before asking, "Was it because I didn’t notice the dirt on your hand right away? When I held the umbrella for you, I should’ve paid more attention...or was it because after you said you almost fell off the cliff, I didn’t show enough concern?"
ng Qianqian shook her head, shook it again.
"Neither." The opponent pondered further, "Does my imitation of his tone not sound right?"
ng Qianqian shook her head a third ti, "To be honest, you captured it perfectly. My husband, ah, he’s just like this!"
The opponent said suspiciously, "Were you bluffing earlier?"
ng Qianqian wagged her finger, "You people always fancy yourselves clever, scheming every possible way to confuse . I don’t need to deal with any kind of calculation, because for , distinguishing whether you are Lu Yuan is too simple, as simple as eating a al."
The opponent looked at her, puzzled.
ng Qianqian: "You don’t have the nice sll."
Not incense, not the scent of soap, but a scent unique to him.
So even if he imitated perfectly, it was full of flaws in front of her.
The opponent stood there, astonished, "It’s that simple?"
ng Qianqian spread her hands, "It’s that simple."
The opponent nearly choked on indignation.
No nice sll?
Gosh!
What kind of reason is that?
He felt utterly incapacitated, as if his every skill was countered with a single move.
ng Qianqian said, "If you were impersonating soone else, you might’ve even fooled . Because solely on Disguise Technique, you’re indeed flawless. I finally understand why for so many years no one could ever catch you. You can slip away under anyone’s nose without leaving a trace."
Yes, he thought, he was so powerful, yet why did he trip up whenever confronting her...? Who on earth was this woman?
Why was she so outlandishly formidable?
Luo San gritted his teeth, "You... do you also know Disguise Technique?"
ng Qianqian shook her head.
She was certain she never learned Disguise Technique in her past life; she could manage a simple disguise, but not sothing like Luo San’s level.
"Luo San, will you obediently give up and co back with , or do you want to suffer a bit before coming back with ?"
Luo San laughed coldly, "Hmph, do you really think with your feeble skills, you can truly defeat ?"
ng Qianqian chuckled, shaking the silver bell in her hand, "I don’t know if my skills are feeble, but I know the Gu given by the Miao King certainly isn’t."
Luo San’s face changed, and a sharp pain shot through his chest, "You Gu’d ?"
ng Qianqian laughed, "You poisoned , I Gu’d you, it’s called reciprocation."
Luo San’s chest felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart, cold sweat broke out as he was overwheld with discomfort.
He looked at the silver bell in ng Qianqian’s hand, that thing was the cause!
ng Qianqian used Qinggong, leisurely perched on a tree branch, "Hey? You can’t snatch it."
Luo San was about to move, only to find his Qinggong gone!
ng Qianqian continued jingling the silver bell.
Luo San clutched his chest, the pain preventing him from straightening up.
He glared fiercely at ng Qianqian, his gaze fixed on her silver bell. Just get away from that thing, then back at the Pri Minister’s Mansion, figure out a way to remove his Gu!
