Chapter 250: 250

Hearing Qin Yunuan’s question, Yaqi was on the alert, and then she stayed calm . Slowly coiling her wet hair at the back of her head, she answered reverently, “Madam, it’s because I’m washing my hair . ”

“Washing your hair?” Qin Yunuan raised her voice a bit and continued, “It’s dry in North Di, and people seldom wash their hair . We have no big event today . Why do you wash your hair?”

“Madam, today is my mother’s death anniversary . I want to pray for her, so I’m taking a shower . ”

“Oh, really?” Qin Yunuan walked to her with a smile, making the log on the ground together with the felt creak . She reached out and put Yaqi’s hand on her palm . This seemingly gentle gesture, however, made Yaqi tremble .

“If you just take a shower, why are your fingers so pale? Yaqi, how long have you been in the bath? Two hours or four? Eh?”

Qin Yunuan’s words stabbed in Yaqi’s chest like a poisonous hook, and she couldn’t stand being sounded out by Qin Yunuan like this anymore . Her leader told her to conceal her identity, but now that she was found out, she had nothing to conceal .

Suddenly, Yaqi reached out, attempting to grasp Qin Yunuan’s neck . But Leng Changxi pulled Qin Yunuan back and stood in front of her to stab the spear in Yaqi’s shoulder . He was so fast that Yaqi had no time to shun the spear .

Yaqi grasped the spear and tended to pull it out . However, Leng Changxi was so strong . Yaqi had a few tries and finally gave up . Lowering her head, she said to Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, “When did you suspect me? Eh? When did you find out that I spied on you to pry into information?”

“Long time ago . ” Qin Yunuan said leisurely . She raised her hands to untie the white silk that covered her eyes . Under the bright moonlight, her eyes looked so sharp as if she could read one’s mind . No one would believe she couldn’t see everything clearly If she didn’t tell them about this . And, Yaqi didn’t believe this, either .

“Your eyes?” Yaqi pointed at Qin Yunuan and asked .

Qin Yunuan looked down and said, “I recovered a long time ago, about 2 weeks later when I met Lu Wuyi after leaving the Ghost City . If I didn’t recover, I wouldn’t see you secretly sent messages to your leader . I began to suspect you a long time ago, so I pretended to be blind to find out your true intention, your backer and your contact . ”

“You can’t find out . ” Yaqi wore a bitter smile . The blood flowed down from the big wound on her arm . She would die of the excessive loss of blood in no more than 30 minutes . Suddenly, Yaqi got up the courage as if she was not afraid of death anymore . “The God of the Sun will protect us and will help us to drive you who covet treasures in the Yeren Valley out . ”

“It seems that you are a treasure guard . ” Qin Yunuan crouched to look at Yaqi who lingered on because of her injury . “You believe in Gods, so you may come from an ancient tribe . You have a forehead narrower than those of North Di people . You are not a native here . Are you from Qi?”

Hearing that, Yaqi snorted with disdain .

Then Qin Yunuan made a correction at once . “You disdain Qi people, so you aren’t from Qi . You were hostile when we chose to encamp in that village . Did you have a fight with people there before? Is it because villagers there wanted to go into the valley?”

Yaqi knew well that Qin Yunuan was a terrifying mind reader . She didn’t have to talk to you . Simply by looking at your facial expression and gesture, she would know what you were thinking . It was so terrifying . Yaqi, therefore, lowered her head to prevent Qin Yunuan from reading her facial expression .

“You’re avoiding me?” Qin Yunuan turned her head a bit and said, “There are two cases when people avoid others . One is that you are sounded out, and you don’t want to reveal more . And another is that you know you can’t calmly deal with what I’m going to say next . ” Qin Yunuan smiled and continued, “You’re from a mysterious tribe in the Yeren Valley, right? 50 years ago, when Qi built a mysterious arsenal there and drove you out of your homeland, you had a fight with Qi . However, you were defeated and were driven to a more deserted place . Later, you took revenge on them by using your magic witchcraft so that Qi found it hard to build the arsenal and even invited wizards to perform rites to help them . When Qi’s arsenal declined, you thought you could be better off . However, more people were attracted by the treasures . It was in part due to Sun Chengzhen’s array, but more importantly, it was your protection of the valley . ”

“Ho, go on . I love your made-up story . ” Yaqi looked up . Her face became pale because of the excessive loss of blood . At the beginning, Qin Yunuan didn’t notice this . But based on her daily observation on Yaqi, she found that she had a unique lifestyle which was different from that of people in North Di and the Central Plains . Even, Qin Yunuan had studied the culture of ancient Qidan and West Xia . At last, she concluded that Yaqi might grow up in a unique culture in which people had their own lifestyle and even characters . It was highly likely that the tribe she lived in was untapped . Qin Yunuan had seen many times that Yaqi prayed in a low voice to the flower-carved silver bracelet she wore . Therefore, she was more convinced that Yaqi lived in an untapped place .

Meanwhile, because of this bracelet, Qin Yunuan was sure that the mermaid in the pond was Yaqi . When she jumped out of the water, the silver bracelet had reflected the moonlight . An array could make a hill full of vipers or a foggy world, but it couldn’t make a mermaid . Yaqi, a scout who had lurked in the Wanyan Su’s mansion for a long time, finally was found out .

Qin Yunuan lifted Yaqi’s chin and said, “I don’t know why your clansmen drove you out . Maybe, the reason why you made all efforts to disguise yourself as a mermaid and kill people is to earn the credit and come back to your tribe . But now, you have to make it clear that you killed a man, and you are not innocent anymore . ”

Qin Yunuan stood up, and Leng Changxi handed over a clean handkerchief for wiping the blood on her fingers away . When she turned around, she heard Yaqi sneer behind . “Even if your assumption is right, so what? You can never get to where you want to go because you only figure out the secret of one map . Let me tell you . In the Yeren Valley, you will die if taking any false step . Madam, I have served you for a long time so give you a reminder . We will have the same ending, and the only difference is that I take it earlier than you . I will wait for you in the hell . ”

Qin Yunuan turned her head a bit and showed part of her face . “The flower carved on your bracelet is azalea, and a mark on the map found in the Sun Family is a sea of flowers . Your tribe is the nearest place to the arsenal so that map should be the last one . It’s true I only figured out the secret of one map before but now, thank you . I figured out two . ”

Yaqi was surprised and then smiled bitterly . When Qin Yunuan looked back, she already fell down to the ground and killed herself .

People on the site were all Wanyan Su’s henchmen, and they cleaned the site quickly by dragging Yaqi away and burying her . Then they took away the fallen tent . Wanyan Su looked pale and blue, seeming perplexed .

“Your Highness, Side Concubine wants to see you . ” Suddenly, a guard reported outside .

“Ask her to wait . ”

“Umm…” Wanyan Su always thought highly of Yasu, and the guard didn’t know why he refused her this time .

“Ask her to wait! It’s not time for her to lose temper now . It’s all up to me whether we can live or die . If she wants to survive, stop being that superior lady in Bochaerji . ” It was the first time for Wanyan Su to act so seriously . The guard was in a trance and then went back to report immediately .

Leng Changxi strode forward and said while looking at Wanyan Su, “If you acted like this at the very beginning, your men wouldn’t disobey your order . Once someone was injured or dead, in the viper hole and also near the pond just now, your men only cared about taking revenge . Your Highness, you truly are determined to run a country well, but you are not good at managing the army yet . ”

“I know . ” Wanyan Su said coldly and then added, “I will never let this happen again . ”

True, he should allow a woman to lurk in the mansion as a servant girl for a long time . He thought she was obedient, so he chose her to serve Qin Yunuan . But he didn’t expect that this nearly ruined all their plan .

Seeing the mess, Wanyan Su ordered his men, “Get up before 5 tomorrow to search the Yingzui Mountain . ” Then he went by Qin Yunuan . Seeing her bright eyes, he couldn’t help tittering . “You really got something, even keeping such a big secret from me . ”

“I dare not . ” Qin Yunuan looked down slightly and said, “You are just too confident about the efficacy of the drug you used . You thought, with that, my eyes could never recover . Although I know little about leechcraft, I can tell beneficial herbs apart from the harmful ones . ”

Wanyan Su was a bit shocked . He indeed had added something into the drug he gave to Qin Yunuan, but he only did this in the journey from Qi to North Di . At that time, Leng Changxi insisted on going separately, so later, he couldn’t add more things into her drug . Then suddenly, he thought of Yasu .

Wanyan Su looked up at Qin Yunuan who wore a light smile . He stopped smiling and concealed his awkwardness rapidly . “There’s no need to talk about the past . At least, we are allies now . ” After saying this, he left .

Lu Wuyi checked the site to make sure Yaqi didn’t leave any poison . After all, tribes that lived in the deep mountain and that believed in Gods always grew their own herbs and created their own spells . But it seemed that Yaqi was really kicked out of her tribe . She had nothing connected to the tribe on her except the silver bracelet she wore .

“We’re not even halfway yet . But you are already on the verge of fight . What if you really fight with each other later?” Lu Wuyi was a bit worried .
