Chapter 683: Even Villains Find It Hard to Resist a Beauty's Charm

Women are truly not good things; they delay matters too much.

"Woman, I saved your life; how are you going to thank me?" Feiying flicked his hair with his hand, striking a dashing pose.

Unfortunately, Nianyin didn't even pay him any mind.

Without Feiying giving the order, his subordinates would not block her.

Nianyin reached Zhu Yiwen's side very smoothly, pointing her Dagger at his heart: "Zhu Yiwen, hand over the antidote, or I will kill you."

The Clan Leader was in a coma, and no doctor could figure out what was going on, so everyone analyzed that it was poisoning.

Zhu Yiwen was skilled at using poison.

The poison he had used on Shi Ran back then was extremely devious; if not for a coincidence, it would have been impossible to discover.

He should have the antidote in his possession, and Nianyin was now using his life to threaten him into handing it over.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me; why bother looking for excuses?"

He sneered.

He flatly denied that he was the one who poisoned the Clan Leader, and even bit back: "The Clan Leader was harmed by you, the poison was planted by you; Nianyin, you are colluding with outsiders to come here and cause trouble, all for the sake of usurping power, right?"

"Since you want to be this Clan Leader, just say so; I could completely give up the position, why bother putting on such an act and stirring up so many things..."

Nianyin finally understood what it meant to turn black into white.

She wished she could finish Zhu Yiwen off with one strike; this man was too treacherous.

But she could not.

The Clan Leader was in his hands; if he died, no one would know where the antidote was.

"Hand over the antidote, and I guarantee you won't die," Nianyin said.

He continued to turn black into white, spouting nonsense: "The poison the Clan Leader has was planted by you, the antidote is in your hands, yet you come asking me for it?"

If Zhu Yiwen gave the antidote, it would be a confession without being pressed—that the Clan Leader's poison was planted by him!

The common people still supported the old Clan Leader; if the truth were known to everyone, he would never be able to stay in the Ji Family.

But if he didn't give the antidote, begged for mercy, or explained, Nianyin would kill him!

It would be justified—clearing out a traitor.

Dying would be for nothing.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yiwen thought of the best way to escape.

That was to shift the blame—to frame everything he had done onto Nianyin!

If Nianyin killed him, it would be to silence him, and that way, she would find it difficult to make a move.

The reality was indeed so.

Nianyin was so angry her face turned livid, and she couldn't help but argue with Zhu Yiwen.

"Nonsense, you are quibbling; those shady things were all done by you, and now you are framing me—doesn't your conscience hurt..."

Of course it wouldn't hurt.

A conscience was such a luxury that Zhu Yiwen didn't even possess one!

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Yiwen shouted to Feiying: "Feiying, don't be obsessed; the women of the Ji Family all have several men, you can't control her."

Feiying didn't move; he wanted to try.

Nianyin's skills and loyalty were both things he admired.

Seeing that he couldn't bring himself to act against Nianyin, Zhu Yiwen turned his spear toward Shi Youxuan.

This time it worked; Feiying waved a hand at his subordinates.

The scene immediately reversed.

Someone rushed toward Shi Youxuan, preparing to grab her.

"Whew-whew—"

Shi Youxuan whistled unhurriedly, then waited calmly for her "reinforcements" to descend.

No response.

Feiying's men had already rushed to her face, but her "reinforcements" were out of service!

What was going on?

Shi Youxuan regretted it.

During the week in the Forest, she had clearly trained well; she would whistle, and Dabai would immediately rush over, but now there was nothing!

"Whew-whew!"

She was unwilling to give up and blew the whistle again.

Still no response.

With a gun pointed at her forehead, Feiying personally escorted her to Nianyin and negotiated: "One for one, how about it?"

Nianyin controlled Zhu Yiwen, Feiying controlled Shi Youxuan; one for one, very fair!

It should have been the stage for exchanging "hostages."

Yet he was distracted, tirelessly saying to Nianyin: "You still haven't told me, what is your name?"

Nianyin:...

Only then did she look at Feiying directly.

Quite handsome.

For some reason, she found him quite pleasing to the eye.

Even though he was an enemy, and she knew from the young mistress's mouth that Feiying was not a good person and committed all kinds of evil.

But Nianyin didn't find him annoying.

"Nianyin." She considered it and told him her name.

Feiying: "Nianyin? That name is truly pleasant to hear. Hey, how many men do you have?"

Zhu Yiwen was almost angered into fainting.

He thought to himself, what did you come here for?

Traveling thousands of miles, did I spend a huge price to invite you here to flirt with women?

The look in Feiying's eyes as he watched Nianyin was full of interest, revealing tenderness.

This was clearly him falling for her.

Nianyin did not answer.

Zhu Yiwen interjected: "Women of the Ji Family never treat men as human beings. Feiying, do you want to be a woman's plaything? There's no need to ask how many men she has; they are simply too numerous to count."

Shi Youxuan saw through Zhu Yiwen's sinister intentions, and she would not let him have his way.

She refuted Zhu Yiwen's words: "You are lying. Nianyin has no men; she has never even held a man's hand."

Zhu Yiwen glared at Shi Youxuan, wishing in his heart that he could immediately turn her into a mute.

Wherever this woman was, nothing good ever happened.

She was specifically there to undermine him.

"Feiying, kill her quickly! It was because of her that you were forced to flee for your lives back then." Zhu Yiwen pointed at Shi Youxuan, coming up with another bad idea.

Whether he would listen to him or not, Zhu Yiwen had no confidence in his heart right now.

But diverting some attention was always possible; he could not let Feiying continue to focus his attention on Nianyin, as he knew that if things went on like this, there would definitely be trouble.

Nianyin grew anxious, and as the Dagger in her hand turned slightly, a streak of blood appeared on Zhu Yiwen's neck.

With a little more force, he would die on the spot.

Nianyin threatened: "If you dare to harm a single hair on the young lady's head, I will kill him."

Feiying did not hesitate: "Fine."

"How about this: let the two of us work together to kill them both, and then this place will be ours to rule. What do you think?"

Nianyin: "Pah!"

"I will not betray the Clan Leader and collude with you."

"Bang!"

The Wizard used his staff to smash hard against the back of Nianyin's head. She turned her head to look back in disbelief, then collapsed limply. Feiying immediately released Shi Youxuan and caught her in his arms.

No one saw how Feiying made his move, but the Wizard had a Dagger plunged into his heart, dying with his eyes wide open!

"Dare to touch my woman? You're courting death."

Feiying sent his subordinates to take Nianyin back to her room to be kept under guard.

With Nianyin unconscious and Bai Lang failing to appear, Shi Youxuan was alone and helpless, no match for Zhu Yiwen's assistants.

He was smug and triumphant, ordering people to lock Shi Youxuan in the Dungeon.

The object wrapped in white cloth in Shi Youxuan's hand was the staff that truly represented the Clan Leader's authority; the one in Zhu Yiwen's hand was a fake.

The original plan was to use the real staff to seize power, but now the real one didn't even get a chance to make an appearance!

Sheng Hanyu and Jian Yining were actually both there, watching from afar as Shi Youxuan was taken away.

Jian Yining had long since lost his composure and wanted to go save Shi Youxuan, but Sheng Hanyu disagreed: "You cannot go. If you go out now, you are just throwing your life away."

"Throwing my life away is better than waiting to die."

Jian Yining was dissatisfied and retorted at him.

With his wife captured, he was more anxious than anyone, but Sheng Hanyu knew that the more critical the moment, the more one had to remain calm.

Impulsiveness and impatience would only make things worse.

"Wait a little longer; things haven't reached the worst point yet."

His voice had just fallen.

"Awoo—"

A streak of white light appeared, instantly attacking the guards escorting Shi Youxuan.

Before people could react, another streak of white light appeared, hoisted Shi Youxuan onto its back, and ran rapidly back to the high platform!
