Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 1663: Xiaomao Furball No Longer Works

Bai Ruozhu saw that Saihan had already made a gesture, and the people holding Yingtong and Diao Yao also raised their knives. She hurriedly said, "Stop, don’t you want to know how to control the evil poisonous insect in your body?"

Saihan’s eyes turned cold. He raised his hand to stop his subordinates’ actions and stared at Bai Ruozhu, asking, "How do you know it’s an evil poisonous insect?"

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "Elder Shougu came looking for me. How do you think I know? Now he has vanished without a trace. Do I really need to remind you how difficult it is to find him? Currently, I’m the only one who knows the solution. Shouldn’t you consider it carefully?"

"I hate being threatened the most," Saihan said coldly.

Bai Ruozhu’s lips curled up, "I’m not threatening you. I’m merely negotiating a condition. I suppose you don’t want to be tormented by pain every day, barely suppressed by drinking a large amount of alcohol? Moreover, you have no idea when it might suddenly attack back, and by then, you might not even know who you are."

"State your condition," Saihan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint inside them. It seemed that if Bai Ruozhu proposed something excessive, he would kill her directly.

But Bai Ruozhu thought she could take a gamble, betting that Saihan didn’t dare to kill her outright. Although he was a lunatic, he was also someone who didn’t want to die.

Also, she bet he wouldn’t want to kill her so easily, which would be too forgiving for her.

"Release them both," Bai Ruozhu said simply and directly.

"Not now. If they are released, my position will be exposed. Who would think that people are hidden beneath this scorched earth?" Saihan laughed somewhat smugly but soon his face sank again, "Furthermore, I don’t know if what you said is true, so why should I be so easily duped?"

Bai Ruozhu’s heart tightened, but she tried to keep her expression unchanged. She knew Saihan wasn’t easy to fool; she just needed to buy time.

Meanwhile, Jianqi had already found Jiang Yichun and Lü, and Chu Hai, worried for Yingtong and his sister, also joined in seeking people.

Jianqi explained Bai’s arrangement, and Jiang Yichun instantly became furious, grabbing Jianqi’s collar and shouting, "How are you acting as a guard? Don’t you know what kind of person Saihan is? Letting your master take such risks? If it were Chenfeng and Muyu accompanied, would they let Ruozhu do such dangerous things?"

Lü and Chu Hai hurriedly pulled Jiang Yichun aside, both trying to persuade him. Jianqi didn’t struggle or explain, simply saying with a calm face, "Let’s rescue Master first; afterward, I will personally take the punishment."

Lü felt some sympathy; he was a shadow guard, thus he naturally knew that the master’s orders during such times were everything. He also understood that Chu Hai wasn’t wrong; he had to adhere to Bai Ruozhu’s arrangement, so he felt somewhat empathetic towards Chu Hai.

Jiang Yichun shook off Chu Hai, "What else did she say?"

Chu Hai pointed to the little furball on his shoulder and said, "Master says her pet will guide you to her location." freёnovelkiss.com

Lü looked at the furball, puzzled, and asked, "What kind of pet is it?"

Jiang Yichun frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "It’s something she conjured with magic technique, so it can find her, but it consumes a lot of essence; you don’t usually see it."

Raising poisonous insects is considered an evil technique in Danliang Country, and many people don’t know that there are good poisonous insects. If Lü found out that Bai Ruozhu raised them, it would be troublesome. He secretly cursed Bai Ruozhu for being crazy, taking out the furball.

The furball, probably for the first time being so intently watched by many people, uneasily burrowed into Jiang Yichun’s embrace, nodding forward.

"Let’s follow the direction it indicates, and we must hurry," Jiang Yichun said, mounting his horse and racing forward, followed quickly by everyone.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, the furball suddenly began spinning anxiously, indicating it couldn’t sense Bai Ruozhu anymore!

Jiang Yichun, having interacted with the furball the most, quickly understood its meaning, his face growing darker, turning like charcoal.

"Something must be obstructing its sensing ability; now even the pet can’t locate Ruozhu’s position," Jiang Yichun said through clenched teeth, glaring fiercely at Jianqi.

"What do we do now?" Chu Hai asked worriedly, concerned for both his sole reliant sister and the girl he felt mutual affection with, not to mention the benefactor who had saved his life and was risking for his sister and love. Could he not be anxious?

If any one of them were harmed, he would regret it for life.

"The trail ends here, which likely means they are not far. Everyone search separately, comb through this nearby area, and if anyone discovers anything, immediately send a signal," Jiang Yichun guessed that Saihan’s evil poisonous insect might be masking Bai Ruozhu’s aura, but it’s unlikely that the entire Capital City would be concealed, so Saihan and them shouldn’t be hidden too far, nor outside the Capital City with such concealment extending into the City.

Where exactly are they?

He and the others split up to search, but as time passed by the minute, no one had sent a signal flare. He knew they couldn’t delay any longer.

He secretly signaled, using his faction’s power, and soon someone reported that a group was seen heading to the burned ruins of Liu Alley.

Jiang Yichun immediately rode to Liu Alley and then fired a signal flare.

The first to arrive was Jianqi, who happened to observe the departing people from his faction, provoking some suspicion in his eyes. Jiang Yichun turned to see Jianqi, feeling a bit surprised but also a tinge of murderous intent.

He couldn’t let outsider know he belonged to his faction, especially Commerce Association knowing his faction’s forces within the Capital!

At that moment, he had gathered inner strength in his palms, but in his mind suddenly flashed Bai Ruozhu’s smiling face, and his hand fell down powerlessly.

He couldn’t kill Jianqi, at least not without consulting Bai Ruozhu, who would hate him upon knowing the truth.

Jianqi sensed the fleeting killing intent but acted as if unaware, asking, "How is this possible here? Is there a secret passage?"

"Some nearby townsfolk saw strangers arriving here and then suddenly disappearing. I think this is the place, and now we must carefully search for the mechanism," Jiang Yichun said.

"Alright, we’ll search separately," Jianqi said then turned into the ruins, discreetly wiping sweat from his palms.

Soon, Lü and others arrived, swiftly followed by Ning Yu riding over.

"I’ve been searching for you, happened to see the signal flare, and came over. What’s going on now?" Ning Yu asked.

"There should be a secret passage below; we haven’t found the mechanism yet," Jiang Yichun stated.

Ning Yu took out a compass, his hand forming seals to calculate. Everyone knew the secret chamber also involved Qimen Dunjia positions, so Ning Yu calculating was faster than blindly finding like headless flies.

And at this moment, a scream echoed from the secret passage, as Bai Ruozhu fell painfully to the ground...
