Chapter 372 - 372: Tianyao Pavilion
“You…!” The guards widened their eyes in disbelief.
Su Qian merely glanced at the two guards indifferently, and then she raised her hand and waved it. A wisp of poison powder swept out from her palm and was absorbed by the two guards. Their legs went soft and they fell to the ground.
Without even looking at these guards, Su Qian carried Black Ball and strode in the direction of the Tianji Sect’s Tianyao Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Xinment, who had been knocked away, was completely unaware that she had been poisoned. She cried and ran all the way back to Wandie Garden where Qu Xiaodie resided.
At this hour, Qu Xiaodie had yet to wake up. She was lying on the bed and having a sweet dream of intimate moments with Yan Chen when Xinmeng’s cries woke her up.
“Sob, sob, sob, Young Miss!” Xinmeng cried as she rushed to Qu Xiaodie’s bedside. Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard on the face.
“Why are you crying so early in the morning? Can’t you see that I’m still asleep?” As Qu Xiaodie spoke, she shook her aching hand and sat up with a gloomy expression. She ordered, “Kneel!”
Xinmeng felt dizzy from this slap, and she could only helplessly sniffle and kneel.
Qu Xiaodie then finally looked at Xinmeng directly and asked with a puzzled frown, “What happened? Where is Yan Chen?”
“Young Master Yan Chen was unwilling to come and even threw me out of the courtyard, telling me to scram,” Xinmeng complained.
“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t 1 ask you to send them leftovers?” Qu Xiaodie frowned and asked.
“I did as you instructed, Young Miss. 1 mixed the leftover porridge and side dishes from a few days ago and gave it to the people of Xuanyun Sect. The portion for Yan Chen was still rancid! Moreover, I also said that as long as Young Master Yan Chen is willing to come and dine with you every day, you wouldn’t make things difficult for them. Who knew that Young Master Yan Chen would refuse.”
“He’s really shameless! I invited him to dine with me because I gave him a face, and he dared to reject my invitation. How audacious!” Qu Xiaodie was so angry that her eyes were about to spew fire. She said angrily, “Pass down my order. There’s no need to send them lunch today. I’ll go over in the afternoon to see how much tolerance the people of Xuanyun Sect can put up with!”
Xinmeng immediately agreed. After Qu Xiaodie finished speaking, she turned around and went back to sleep.
However, before falling asleep, Qu Xiaodie felt the soft pet nest beside her and asked curiously, “Oh right, where’s my brother? Why is it gone?”
Everyone knew that Qu Xiaodie raised a fire-fragrant pig and doted on it as if it were her own younger brother. They usually slept together, so she was naturally anxious when she couldn’t see her beloved pet today.
“When I left, Little Young Master said that he had fully rested and wanted to go out for a stroll. He thought that after taking a walk, he would go eat some medicinal herbs from Tianyao Pavilion and come back to rest.” Even Xinmeng treated the fire-fragrant pig as Qu Xiaodie’s younger brother and addressed it as Little Young Master.
“Okay, did it put on its clothes and shoes before going out?” Seeing Xinmeng nod, Qu Xiaodie finally relaxed and yawned, “Then let it be. However, if it doesn’t come back within an hour, go and call it back. Be careful not to tire my little brother out.”
Xinmeng acknowledged and retreated.
At the same time, Su Qian followed the fragrance of the medicinal herbs and arrived at Tianji Sect’s Tianyao Pavilion, which was responsible for cultivating medicinal herbs..
