Chapter 274 The Witch of the Martial World 15
Qingyu held the porcelain bottle, her heart filled with doubt, and looked up at Hua Wuyi.
Hua Wuyi simply said calmly, "The poison in this porcelain bottle is not incurable; the antidote is in your hands."
Qingyu was startled and quickly opened the bottle cap to check. Inside, besides some powder, there was also a tiny piece of paper.
Upon unfolding it, one could see the name of a herb written on it, a herb that Qingyu had seen before in the forbidden area of the Demonic Sect.
This……
Why is Hua Wuyi being so kind?
Xue Lingyuan leaned closer to see what was going on, but Qingyu blocked her way. She glared at him before looking at Hua Wuyi with satisfaction, saying, "Don't worry, Master."
She won't hand it over unless someone offers her enough incentives!
A smile flashed in Hua Wuyi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He then looked at Xue Lingyuan and said, "What are you doing here? Don't bother this leader."
Xue Lingyuan's eyes turned cold. He naturally noticed Hua Wuyi's differential treatment and felt a little flustered.
Does Hua Wuyi have feelings for Qingyu?
The mere thought of this possibility made him feel anxious and angry, and he couldn't stop the violence in his heart.
He didn't answer, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.
Lin Shiwan, who was in the corner, was also secretly observing. Her eyes kept lingering on Qingyu, and she dared not look at anyone else too freely. Qingyu was just too outstanding, and she could not forget that beautiful scene from before.
After a long silence, Hua Wuyi exhaled and waved his hand, saying, "Everything we've discussed today is just a means to lure out the mastermind. As long as those gang leaders are willing to come... Heh, if you don't have anything else to say, don't stay here with me!"
This means driving Xue Lingyuan away.
Qingyu didn't believe that Hua Wuyi wasn't a bloodthirsty person; she had witnessed the latter's cruelty. She feigned concern and said, "What if someone doesn't want to come?"
Hua Wuyi sneered, "That only shows that they have ulterior motives. This sect leader doesn't need to care whether they live or die."
This statement was too domineering, and no one answered.
In the end, Hua Wuyi left first. He had too many things to plan, and some things he had to do personally. However, before leaving, he subconsciously looked at Qingyu and for the first time felt that it was not good to leave Qingyu alone outside.
She's so eye-catching; she seems to have become radiant lately.
"Go back immediately and summon the left and right guardians!"
Having said that, Hua Wuyi hurriedly left.
Qingyu responded casually, watching Hua Wuyi's departing figure, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Giving her the antidote meant placing the most crucial part of the plan on her shoulders.
Was Hua Wuyi being too careless? Or was he plotting against her?
Qingyu lowered her eyes in thought, her long eyelashes trembling like fluttering butterflies, which made Xue Lingyuan both fascinated and jealous.
He snorted coldly, his tone dissatisfied, "What's so good about him that you're so obedient to him?"
Qingyu rolled her eyes at him, her bright eyes full of disdain. "What's it to you?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xue Lingyuan opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to flirt with the beauty any further, and left angrily.
When the room was finally empty, Lin Shiwan breathed a sigh of relief. She gritted her teeth and decided to quietly follow Qingyu.
She came to Hua Wuyi's room this time hoping to find something, and also to test Hua Wuyi's feelings for her. Unexpectedly, she ended up seeing Qingyu's beauty...
Now she couldn't think of Guo Xiao and Lin Shinian who were still hiding from her and waiting for her. All she could think about was catching up with Qingyu, so she ran very fast with small steps.
As soon as Qingyu stepped out, she noticed someone following her. She guessed who it was, but instead of being afraid, she paused and slipped into the alley.
Lin Shiwan, who was behind her, was startled. She had just stepped into the alley when Qingyu blocked her way.
"Why are you following me?" Qingyu's gaze was cold, her voice clear and crisp, revealing a hint of arrogance.
When Lin Shiwan was stared at by those eyes, her brain went blank and she couldn't think straight. She stammered, "I...I was just curious."
Qingyu raised the corners of her eyes slightly, her beautiful brows and eyes filled with indifference, clearly not believing this explanation.
Just as I was about to ask another question, I suddenly heard a commotion.
Where did those people go?
"I think they're coming this way!"
"We must capture them!"
……
Qingyu narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on Lin Shiwan, her displeasure evident, her voice tinged with coldness, "The person you found?"
"No!" Lin Shiwan quickly denied, her eyes reddening with anxiety as she looked at Qingyu with a pitiful expression. "I wouldn't hurt you... I don't know where they came from..."
How could she hurt Qingyu? In the past, and even in her memories, she only thought Qingyu was a witch. Now it seems that if someone is beautiful, they must be kind-hearted. So Qingyu must have been forced to do those bad things!
It's all that flower's fault!
Lin Shiwan inwardly complained, but outwardly remained sincere, fearing Qingyu might misunderstand her. Her mind raced, and for the first time, she cleverly guessed, "Perhaps someone broke in and was discovered... The Five Factions have been quite heavily guarded lately..."
Qingyu also thought of this, and even more. For example, did those gang leaders send people to snatch the porcelain bottle after learning about it? After all, since Hua Wuyi poisoned it in advance, someone must have known about it.
Not everyone is a fool.
But now that the items are with her, we'll have to see if she agrees to take them away!
Qingyu gripped the porcelain bottle tightly, preparing for battle. This time, she wasn't going to hide. She could hide for a while, but not forever. It wasn't like she couldn't win. With her status, apart from Hua Wuyi, most people were no match for her in martial arts.
So even though the original owner was obsessed with romance, she still helped Guo Xiao solve a lot of problems in the original story.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by. Looking up, it turned out to be Hua Wuyi returning.
Qingyu was extremely surprised, "The Sect Leader?"
Hua Wuyi first gave Qingyu a reassuring look, then gave Lin Shiwan a threatening glance, which startled the latter, turning her face pale.
He stood in front of Qingyu, his expression icy as he faced the group of people who approached him. "You dare to touch my people? You're tired of living."
Under the cover of night, the crowd was intimidated by his imposing presence and hesitated to move forward.
They had long heard that the leader of the Demonic Cult was highly skilled in martial arts. They were just a group of disciples, so how dare they go up and confront him head-on?
Seeing this, Hua Wuyi turned around and glanced at Qingyu, a slight smile playing on her lips, her expression arrogant. "I told you, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt inexplicably awkward. These words... were a bit ambiguous.
However, considering that the porcelain vase was given to her by Hua Wuyi, and that it was the latter who caused her trouble, Qingyu felt that it was only natural for Hua Wuyi to rush back.
Even Qingyu started to believe in conspiracy theories.
Is this guy just lusting after someone and then trying to get rid of them after using them?
The system, sensing Qingyu's thoughts, said: "...Do you have to be so dramatic?"
Although it's possible that she really was lustful at first sight, Qingyu's self-righteous attitude is still both helpless and funny.
