Chapter 81

In just the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the residual poison from Wang Chuyi's toxic palm had been completely expelled from his body through his fingers. Moreover, under the influence of Su Yi's Nine Yang True Qi, he felt that his own internal strength had significantly improved.

Wang Chuyi looked at the pool of black blood on the ground and asked Su Yi in shock, "Kang'er? It's been over a year since we last met. Where did you acquire such profound true qi? Even my senior brother would probably be far behind you now."

Su Yi replied, "It's just that I had a fortuitous encounter, Uncle. This isn't the time for idle chat. I secretly brought my mother out of the Prince's mansion just now. My father, the Prince, doesn't know yet. Once he finds out, he will immediately seal the city gates and launch a massive search. By then, it will be hard to leave!"

Wang Chuyi's expression turned serious as he asked, "What should we do then?"

"Earlier, I asked Senior Brother Yin to buy a house at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Since you are now well, I boldly ask you to take my mother there immediately. Once she is there, even if my father, the Prince, has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to find her."

"That's a good plan! I'll make the trip then!" Wang Chuyi stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Kang'er, you truly don't crave glory or wealth. You are a good child! However, since you have decided to return to your Han identity, you shouldn't call the Jin Prince 'father' anymore."

Su Yi said solemnly, "Although I have no blood relation with the Prince, he has cared for me for many years and has been very considerate to my mother. Even though I have now distanced myself from him, the years of care and kindness cannot be forgotten. I still feel it's right to call him 'father.'"

Wang Chuyi frowned and thought for a moment, finding Su Yi's words reasonable. He decided not to dwell on these minor details and said, "Alright, you have a good sense of propriety. I won't meddle further... How about this: let's quickly find Jing'er and then return to the Quanzhen Sect together? It's been almost two years since you last went back..."

Su Yi replied helplessly, "That silly boy is probably still looking for medicine for you at the Prince's mansion! I need to go back and get him out!"

Wang Chuyi then remembered this and exclaimed, "Oh, I almost forgot! Jing'er is a kind-hearted child and will surely take risks for me. I need to save him!"

Oh no, who will save Bao Xiruo then!

Su Yi quickly pulled back Wang Chuyi, who was about to leave, and said, "Let me go. I'll bring back a completely safe and sound Gu Jing for you. You should hurry and take my mother out of the city. Otherwise, if my father, the Prince, finds out, there will be more trouble!"

"Alright, I'll go first. Be careful..."

Wang Chuyi thought that since Su Yi, as the young prince of the Wanyan family, could move about freely, far more easily than he could, and with his powerful internal strength, he could protect himself. So, he readily agreed to Su Yi's request.

He then instructed Su Yi, "Kang'er, that child is named Gu Jing. He is the posthumous son of your long-dead father's sworn brother. You must bring him back safely!"

"Uncle, rest assured. I'll bring back a lively Gu Jing for you!" Su Yi promised, patting his chest.

"Since that's the case, I'll set off now and take your mother back to the Quanzhen Sect!"

"Disciple respectfully sees you off, Uncle!"

Watching Wang Chuyi's hurried figure disappear out the door, Su Yi let out a sigh of relief.

I hope you won't be too surprised when you see the long-dead Yang Tiexin appear...

But I didn't expect the inertia of the original story to be so strong. After several twists, the plot has come back. If the same siege event from the original story happens again, what should I do? Although Su Yi is confident that his deep internal strength can help Bao Xiruo break through the encirclement, doing so would likely ruin the years of affection between Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo.

To put it simply, over the past eighteen years, Wanyan Honglie has loved Bao Xiruo deeply and cared for her tenderly. He not only tolerated her thoughts of others but also treated her son, who had no blood relation to him, as his own. After years of care, could there really be no feelings between them?

People are not plants; who can be without emotion? Over the past eighteen years, Bao Xiruo has been melancholy every day, thinking of Yang Tiexin. But could she have no sense of guilt towards Wanyan Honglie?

So, it's best that they don't meet. Wanyan Kang and Bao Xiruo should just disappear. Let Wanyan Honglie believe they were kidnapped. This way, their years of affection won't be damaged, and Wanyan Honglie won't suffer the pain of betrayal. Isn't this a win-win solution?

So...

Su Yi took out a silver mask from his chest and put it on. In the dark night, he disappeared again.

...

Mu Niangci was sitting idly at the table, staring at her fingers, lost in thought. Su Yi had instructed her not to leave the room, so she didn't dare to step out of the door.

But... that person said he would come back soon to take her. It's been two hours, why hasn't he come yet?

Mu Niangci's thoughts turned to Su Yi again.

"Brother?"

She muttered to herself, feeling as if she were still in a dream. But if what he said is true, then who was the person he called 'mother'? Why did her father lose his composure when he heard that person's voice?

"Could Mother still be alive?"

Mu Niangci suddenly felt a surge of tension. Although she called her 'mother,' she had no blood relation with that person. Would she recognize her as a daughter? If not, would she have to leave her father?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She tightly clasped her hands together, her fingers turning white.

"Bang!"

Just as Mu Niangci was in a dilemma, the window was suddenly smashed open by someone with great force. One of the window panels was even torn off and flew out.

Mu Niangci quickly stood up, ready to find a place to hide!

"It's me!"

Su Yi's voice came from outside the window. He then nimbly jumped in, removed his mask, and smiled at Mu Niangci.

"You... why didn't you use the door?" Mu Niangci, seeing it was Su Yi, stopped hiding and asked curiously.

"Nothing, I need to make it look like I was kidnapped!" Su Yi replied casually, then drew his Qingming Sword and began to slash around the room. In no time, the room was filled with sword marks. He then kicked over several stools, overturned the table, punched a hole in the cabinet, and messed up the bed.

Thus, in just thirty seconds after entering, the once clean and tidy room looked as if it had been ransacked by bandits.

Mu Niangci stood on the side, dumbfounded, watching Su Yi's antics, not understanding what he was doing.

"Alright, let's go!"

Seeing that the scene was well disguised, Su Yi put the mask back on and extended his hand to Mu Niangci, "We don't have much time. I need to get you out of here quickly! Otherwise, if my father, the Prince, seals the city gates, it will be troublesome..."

I can leave easily on my own, but with you, I might have to fight my way out.

"Okay..." Mu Niangci blushed slightly and placed her hand in Su Yi's.

"Let's go then..."

Su Yi paused, then pulled her with force, and they both floated out of the room.
