Chapter 34

[Chapter 34 – Secretly poisoned!] All of you, get lost!

A rustling noise came from a corner of the room . Zhao Wu unsheathed his sword, cutting the curtain in half .  

Hua Tang was lying on the ground, her clothes untied, looking like she had fainted .  

“Left Chief . ” Zhao Wu, aghast, went over wanting to help her up, when a sound broke through the air behind him .  

With his years of martial arts training, Zhao Wu dodged the sneak attack, pulling Hua Tang into his arms in the process .  

Several cicadshaped darts hit the window frame, so densely packed that it was horrifying .  

A black figure disappeared in a flash, having jumped out of the window .  

Hua Tang was unconscious, so Zhao Wu was in no mood to continue his pursuit . He picked out a few clothes from the luggage on the floor and wrapped her up as much as he could, his usually stoic face turning scarlet .  

The people downstairs were drinking merrily and got a surprise when they saw that Hua Tang was being carried down . Qin Shao Yu’s face darkened, “What happened?”

“There was an ambush, the left chief was ambushed . ” Zhao Wu said, “This subordinate was useless and let him get away . ” 

“Bring a few people upstairs and search the whole building thoroughly . ” Qin Shao Yu’s expression was furious . He had always been vigilant, and yet was so careless this time .  

Spreading his blanket, Shen Qian Ling helped Zhao Wu to place Hua Tang down on it .  

Qin Shao Yu tried her pulse, frowning .  

“Is she alright?” Shen Qian Ling was worried .  

“Hua Tang is immune to hundreds of poisons, it’s rare to see her pulse so weak . ” Qin Shao Yu asked Zhao Wu, “What kind of person attacked her?”

“I didn’t see him clearly, but this subordinate guesses that it should be Chan Niang . ” Zhao Wu handed him one of the darts, wrapped in cloth, “This was the weapon left behind during the attack just now . ”

“Chan Niang is not good enough to be Hua Tang’s opponent . ” Qin Shao Yu said, “Since you saw the attacker, why didn’t you call for your brother-in-arms to pursue him together?”

Although the building was very big, with Zhao Wu’s internal energy, everyone should be able to hear him with a shout .  

Zhao Wu made a difficult expression .  

“Say it . ” Qin Shao Yu made a rarely seen outburst at him .  

Shen Qian Ling trembled in fright .  

Zhao Wu’s face reddened, and said quietly by Qin Shao Yu’s ear, “When this subordinate arrived, the left chief…wasn’t wearing much clothes . ” 

Qin Shao Yu:” “… . . ”

“If she was seen by so many of us, I was afraid… . ”  

“Alright, alright . ” Qin Shao Yu waved his hand, “Go and boil some clean water then find a clean bathtub . ” 

A number of subordinates instantly went about the tasks . Shen Qian Ling wiped off the cold sweat on Hua Tang’s forehead, saying worriedly, “Will she be fine?” 

“I will help her to force the poison out . ” Qin Shao Yu said, “Although her pulse is weak, it’s not irregular, so it shouldn’t be anything serious . ” 

“This subordinate has a puzzling matter . ” Zhao Wu said, “Since the opponent had already knocked the left chief out, why didn’t he kidnap her, but left her on the ground instead?”

Qin Shao Yu turned pensive upon hearing this, but didn’t answer .  

“Sect leader . ” Fan Yan brought the men downstairs, “There’s nothing out of place upstairs . ” 

Qin Shao Yu nodded, then carried Hua Tang and stood up .  

“Should this subordinate help?” Zhao Wu asked .  

“No need . ” Qin Shao Yu walked upstairs, “Go help her prepare the water for the medicinal bath . ” 

Shen Qian Ling, holding onto the blanket, quickly followed him, a picture of adorableness .  

“Then what should we do about this man?” The guards who remained downstairs looked at the man who Hua Tang had saved, with woeful looks on their faces “I don’t want to spend a night with a corpse . ”

“He isn’t dead yet . ” Another consoled him .  

“He won’t last any longer . I’m scared . ”

“…… . ”

“Wuwuwuwu . ”

”Stop acting, you bastard . Think about how many people you have killed!”

“The people I have killed are all bad —”

“Shut up . ”

“En . ”

Yao Qian walked over coldly, and fed a pill into that person’s mouth .  

“The right chief is magnanimous . ” The shadow guard collectively applauded .

“Humph . ” Yao Qian turned his head and went upstairs .

The guards: “…”

Was the flattery not heard?!

Even this is treated with a snort!

Can he be reasonable?

Inside a room upstairs, Qin Shao Yu was helping Hua Tang to force out the poison . Zhao Wu and Fan Yan were keeping watch by the side, Shen Qian Ling was also silently still, not even daring to breathe loudly . Time passed by, little by little, and very soon, Hua Tang’s complexion gradually recovered from pale white to normal . Everyone around her all let out a breath of relief, but Qin Shao Yu’s face changed . He lifted up the palm, and tapped the top of Hua Tang’s head .  

“Sect leader . ” Zhao Wu was alarmed .

Cold sweat beaded on Qin Shao Yu’s forehead, and he added more internal energy .

“Ah!” Shen Qian Ling exclaimed, he vaguely saw something like small black insects around Hua Tang’s neck — the sight could make one’s hair stand on its end .

Zhao Wu took out a knife as thin as a cicada’s wing, hesitant and not daring to make a move .

“Quickly . ” Qin Shao Yu ordered .

Zhao Wu clenched his jaw, then made a small incision on Hua Tang’s neck .

Fan Yan’s back turned numb as he watched, Shen Qian Ling’s eyebrows also knitted tightly together .

Each and every of the black insects were all forced out by using neigong . Zhao Wu opened a huo zhe zi and burnt them .

Qin Shao Yu stopped using his neigong, and treated the wound on Hua Tang’s neck, before picking her up and placing her into the bath . “Let her soak for one night, the water cannot turn cold . Xiao Wu will remain to look after her . ”

Zhao Wu nodded and accepted the order . Shen Qian Ling also wanted to stay and help, but was dragged away by Qin Shao Yu .

“What’s with the small bugs?” Chills ran down Shen Qian Ling’s spine at the thought of them .

“The assailant anticipated that I would help Hua Tang force out the poison, hence they planted gu chong in her body . ” Qin Shao Yu replied, “Luckily, I was reminded of what Xiao Wu said previously, or I would really have been careless, and let the gu chong enter my body through neigong . ”

“What was their aim?” Shen Qian Ling was puzzled .

“When they’re young, the black gu chong are harmless, but they will gradually grow bigger within a person’s body until they devour one’s heart meridian . ” Qin Shao Yu replied, “It is the poison of the Miao tribe . ”

Shen Qian Ling shivered in silence .

“Don’t be scared . ” Qin Shao Yu rubbed Shen Qian Ling’s head and brought him downstairs .

“Sect leader . ” The people downstairs all stood up, “How is the left chief?”

“Hua Tang is fine now, everyone should rest up earlier . ” Qin Shao Yu replied, “Tomorrow we still have to rush along . ”

“What about that person?” The guards pointed at the white clothed person in unison, their eyes showing something along the lines of “He’s going to die soon, might as well throw him away” .

“Feed him an antidote pill, treat all his wounds and change him into clean clothes . ” Qin Shao Yu replied, “If he is alive tomorrow morning, then we will take him, if not, we will leave him here . ”

Shen Qian Ling: “… . ”

Boss, can you have just a little disposition befitting that of a famous righteous sect?

“You should also rest earlier . ” Qin Shao Yu embraced him, “Sleep . ”

Shen Qian Ling snuggled against him, feeling warm and comfortable, and was a little surprised .

“I won’t let you catch a cold . ” Qin Shao Yu pinched his cheeks .

He even comes with the function of a heated blanket .  Shen Qian Ling almost cried, this is too high quality .

“What kind of expression is this . ” Qin Shao Yu couldn’t help but laugh .

“…You just helped the left chief force out poison, you should rest instead . ” Shen Qian Ling felt a little awkward; even a rechargeable battery couldn’t keep providing electricity .

“This kind of small matter won’t hinder me . ” Qin Shao Yu patted his back, “Don’t talk anymore, sleep well . ”

Shen Qian Ling held onto his sleeve and obediently closed his eyes .

Qin Shao Yu leaned against a pillar, his eyes, apart from showing affection, still showed more affection .

Such a blatant public display of affection…very impressive .

The subordinates who witnessed the scene were very satisfied .

Except for Yao Qian .

However everyone was clearly used to him snorting here and there, thus they tacitly adopted a collective attitude of disregard; even Qin Shao Yu treated him as air, letting him do whatever he wanted .

The right chief suddenly felt that life was lonely .

The night passed by quickly; early next morning, Hua Tang opened her eyes dizzily and looked around somewhat vacantly .

“You’re awake . ” Only Zhao Wu was inside the room .

“What’s going on?” Hua Tang frowned, realising that she was soaking in a tub .

“When you went upstairs to change yesterday, there were some people who launched an ambush . ” Zhao Wu explained to her, “But there’s no need to worry, the sect leader has already helped you force out the poison, and with one night in a medicinal bath, the remaining poison should have almost been eliminated . ”

Hua Tang massaged her temples, recalling faintly the matter of being attacked when she went upstairs yesterday night to change . Her complexion changed in an instant, becoming even paler than when she was poisoned before .

“Don’t worry too much . ” Zhao Wu comforted her kindly, “If there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely catch those evil guys for you . ”

“Who came upstairs to rescue me yesterday night?” Hua Tang asked calmly .

Zhao Yu replied honestly, “Me . ”

“Who else . ” Hua Tang gnashed her teeth in anger .

“No one else . ” Zhao Wu shook his head .

“What did you see . ” Hua Tang broke off a piece of the wooden tub .

Zhao Wu rapidly retreated to a safe distance, “I didn’t see anything, really . That masked person had already helped you wear your clothes . ”

Who would believe that .

Hua Tang grabbed a broken umbrella and threw it towards him .

“Don’t stand up, your clothes are already wet . If you stand up, I’ll see again . ” Zhao Wu raised his hands in surrender and reminded her with a nervous expression .

Hua Tang: “…”    

Thus, the people downstairs heard the noise of a room being ripped apart .

“Don’t tell me that we’re under attack again?” Everyone grabbed a weapon and rushed upstairs; in the end, they saw Zhao Wu running out, soaked and cutting a sorry figure, “It’s not like I saw it on purpose!”

“All of you, get lost . ” Hua Tang threw out a chair .

Oh .

All the subordinates understood and stopped .

She’s able to shout this loud, she’s probably fine now .

As long as she’s fine .

But just what did Zhao Wu see, hmm?

Really makes them envious and jealous .

A moment later, Hua Tang had changed her clothes, and walked downstairs with a murderous expression on her face .   

Everyone had a tacit mutual understanding to continue eating and drinking, deliberately ignoring her red tinged ears .

Carrying a bowl, Zhao Wu crouched silently in the corner .

“Are you okay?” Shen Qian Ling said concernedly .

“I’m fine, thank you young master Shen . ” Hua Tang replied, “My thanks to the sect leader as well . ”

“Take a seat . ” Qin Shao Yu passed her a bowl of soup, “Our brothers-in-arms went out to catch some game for you; drink this to recover your strength . ”

Hua Tang sat next to Shen Qian Ling, taking the bowl and drinking from it slowly .

“What on earth happened last night?” Qin Shao Yu asked, “Zhao Wu said it was Chan Niang, but with your martial skills, even if there were two Chan Niangs, they wouldn’t be your opponent . ”

“It’s not her . ” Hua Tang shook her head, “I also thought it was her for a moment, but Chan Niang’s martial art skills cannot be compared to that person . ”

“Sect leader, left chief . ” A subordinate called from the other side, “The person from last night seems to have woken up . ”
