"Why are you guys so quiet? Your highness, you're here? Hong Xia has been looking for you so hard? You're drinking alone here. If Red Cloud saw you, she would be so sad.”
Mei Ruxue swayed her slender waist as she made her way to the table. Just as she placed her hand on Tuoba Li's shoulder and was about to sit in his arms, Tuoba Li suddenly turned around and stood up. She almost fell to the ground.
He dodged the snake-like woman.
Mei Ruxue blushed and her eyes fell on me.
" Miss Wang, it seems that you and His Highness know each other. Then I don't need to introduce them one by one. Since everyone is here, I have Lan Zhi's contract. Take it well. We're even now." Her tone changed from gentle like water to firm like iron.
I took the deed and tore it up, then thanked Mei Ruxue with Lan Zhi.
Tuoba Li, who was standing at the side, did not have any doubts at all. He just stood there and watched.
Cheng Jun was even more infuriating. He kept sipping his tea and didn't even raise his head. It was as if they were all transparent and very comfortable.
I rejected Mei Ruxue's kind invitation to have lunch together, but I couldn't reject Tuoba Li's repeated invitation.
"Alright then, let's go to Fragrance Restaurant and have a good meal! Let's have a good chat!"
Tuoba Li said happily. The two of us could only follow behind him. Cheng Jun would definitely not let go of a free meal. Walking side by side with us.
" Ah…" I saw a middle-aged man covered in blood lying behind me.
His hand seemed to be pointing at something? The direction was pointed at me. How unlucky.
At this moment, Ling 'er turned around and flew away from my shoulder.
" Ugh…" Another man fell into a pool of blood with a scream.
This time, I quickly hugged Ling 'er. With Mu Heng's experience last time, I was afraid that Ling' er would cause some trouble.
" Stop, give me the antidote before you leave." A man in white blocked our way.
I was shocked. Did Ling 'er bite someone again? My heart was guessing.
"You plotted against us first, and you still dare to stand out and ask us for the antidote. Do you want to be like them?”Cheng Jun still had a casual expression as he spoke slowly.
"Don't think that just because Beggar's Sect is the number one sect in the world, you can do whatever you want in the world. This is Northern Wei, not your territory. Our brothers in the sect are not to be trifled with."
The man in white did not show any weakness. Although he was wearing a white mask, one could still see from his eyes that his desire to kill was rushing towards us.
"Everyone, don't be angry. I don't think you need to make such a big fuss. Although the White Fox Hall is the number one sect in our dynasty, you can't just ambush a girl who doesn't have the strength to tie up a chicken like this. If word gets out, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the entire Northern Wei? "Otherwise, not only will Beggar's Sect not let you off, even the entire Ping Cheng will not have a place for you to stay." This was the first time I saw Taba Li's serious expression.
Ever since I met him, although it was only three times, his charming smile was the only impression he gave me.
" You are King Jing. I'm sorry for my rudeness, but my subordinate really didn't mean to hurt this lady. I just wanted to find out her background, but she was poisoned. Please forgive me and save my subordinate." The white-robed man's 180-degree change in attitude really made me unable to stand it.
Knowing that his highness was here, they could discuss things. Was he still the person with the fierce look in his eyes?
I shook my head. The answer was naturally 'no'.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on me, but I was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Lan Zhi tugged at the corner of my clothes." They are waiting for your antidote?”
"I have the antidote! I didn't ask Ling 'er to bite them.”I whispered to Lan Zhi.
"You're really stupid. It's really not worth it for Ling 'er. It's miserable to have a stupid master like you."
"You really don't know how to detoxify it?”Tuoba Li's expression was even more amazed. His beautiful chin almost fell to the ground.
"I really don't know how to detoxify it. There's no poison in my Ling 'er's body. At the very least, I've never been poisoned. You've always been the one saying it yourself. How would I know if you're telling the truth?”
I put on an innocent and angry expression.
It made everyone present stare at me without blinking, as if I was a guest from outer space.
"I think you're just pretending to be confused. Who doesn't know that the pine unicorn in your hand is a spirit beast? Its poison can only be cured by its owner. You say you don't know, but do you think I'm that easy to fool?”
This time, the killing intent of the man in white was a little heavier than before.
"Miss Wang, stop joking. The White Fox Gang is not someone that can be provoked by just anyone. You should forgive them this once!”Tuoba Li's charming face once again met mine intimately.
His face was already in front of me, and even his hot breath could hit my forehead.
Although I'm about 1.7 meters tall now, he's still a head taller than me when he bends down.
When we first met, he used this gesture to talk to me, causing my face to turn red as if I had a fever.
I was very nervous because of his approach and because I knew how powerful Ling 'er was. I was afraid that Ling' er saw that I was in danger and stepped forward to bite those two villains who had ambushed me.
I blushed and forgot to speak. I forgot everything. My mind was blank.
"Stupid woman, don't tell me you don't know how to detoxify it and dare to bring it with you? Why don't you give it to me? I'm sure it can play to its strengths."
"If I give it to you, do you dare to accept it? My Ling 'er is my family. I will never side with outsiders."
" You..." He was rendered speechless by my words.
Along with Cheng Jun's speechlessness, the current atmosphere was simply abnormally cold. I felt a cold wind blow past my back, making my entire body shiver.
I had no other choice." I don't know how to detoxify. You can do whatever you want. Don't hurt my Ling 'er. I'll take responsibility alone. Kill or scrape as you wish!”
" I don't have any other good ideas. I can only do whatever I want. I only want my life. I don't have much money." I looked at the man in white with a pitiful expression.
"We were just thinking about it. Who is the woman who can make the famous Beggar's Sect Master lose his freedom? I was just curious on a whim. I don't mean to hurt you.”The man in white bowed.
"You're just curious, but my Ling 'er doesn't know! You hurt me first. My Ling 'er was just defending herself. There's nothing wrong. As for being poisoned, who can prove that my Ling' er did it? If not, it's useless for you to look for me, right?”
I argued righteously. There was no hesitation in my tone, as if the person who made the mistake was the person in white.
What I said seemed to make sense. Tuoba Li was stunned for a moment before he nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
Even an honest person like Lan Zhi couldn't help but nod, indicating that what I said made sense.
" What do you mean by self-defense, stupid woman?" Cheng Jun finally spoke after a moment of silence.
" You don't know... This means that when people are hurt, they instinctively dodge and make corresponding movements to protect themselves from being hurt. This is a legitimate behavior. This is what our hometown says."
" Oh, it seems like you have a lot of new words. I like it," Tuoba Li said with his signature smile.
"Tsk." Cheng Jun's face was full of disdain again.
"Alright then! I can't ignore the lives of my brothers. Please accompany me! Let the hall master personally decide! Miss, can you come with me?”The man in white looked back at me.
Just as I was about to agree, I saw Tuoba Li walk over to the two injured people and take a look at their wounds.
She returned to my side and whispered a few words. Ling 'er jumped in front of the two injured people and returned to my side with a light shake.
The two people on the ground immediately regained their vitality. They let out unpleasant gasps and coughed continuously, causing them to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
It was so disgusting. I wanted to vomit. I turned my face to the side and didn't dare to look at it again.
Strangely, I saw Lan Zhi staring at the two people with curious eyes, but she didn't react like me.
" Stupid woman, you're really stupid." Seeing me like this, Cheng Jun had a playful look on his face.
"Thank you! In the future, our White Fox Hall will definitely come to thank you. The man in white gave a 90-degree bow.
The two injured people were carried away by three people who flew out, and the man in white disappeared.
"Girl, how did you do it? "You scared me to death," Lan Zhi asked me anxiously.
" Oh…" I paused for a moment before continuing,""I just suddenly forgot something and only remembered it after your highness reminded me."
Actually, I was lying to her. Because how would I know that Ling 'er is both a poison and an antidote? Tuoba Li only told me not to let others know that he knew this method, so I lied.
Tuoba Li walked up to me and whispered a few words to Ling 'er before she obediently jumped away.
Thinking of this, I realized a problem: Mu Heng and the stranger had said that Ling 'er would only acknowledge one master in her life. Why would she listen to Tuoba Li? Strange!
I was quietly walking with them, thinking slowly.
" Ah!" I screamed.
I touched my head because my head hit Tuoba Li.
I raised my head and turned around with Tuoba Li, using that seductive face to face me.
"Why? Do you want to throw yourself at a man the moment you see him?”It's that stinky beggar who's embarrassing me again.
I made a face at him." What's wrong with that? His Highness is more magnanimous than you and is more beautiful than you, isn't he?”
I raised my head and shouted at Cheng Jun.
"Do you guys quarrel like this every day? "We're like a family," he said seriously.
I won't say anything else, lest Tuoba Li make fun of me again.
Cheng Jun couldn't hold it in anymore. His face turned green and red. It was really embarrassing.
"What does our quarrel have to do with others? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to our sister? Who is it? Could it be that your taste is very special?”Then, he looked at me.
"Me? After your reminder, I really have to think about this problem carefully.”He touched his chin and looked at Lan Zhi and me up and down.
My face turned red and I could feel my entire face burning.
