404. Chapter 404: No Antidote

Shi Lin and the others said nothing.

Yun Mei handed the white bottle in her hand to Ji Fu.

Ji Fu took it, poured it out, examined it to confirm it was the same as before, and then poured it into her mouth.

As soon as she swallowed it, she felt pain in her chest.

Right after that.

Ji Fu spewed bright red blood, trembling as she pointed at Qiao Sheng.

Shi Lin spoke up, "Stop slandering Qiao Sheng; the Medicine she gave you isn't poisonous at all…"

No poison?

At this point.

He has no reason to deceive her, right?

Ji Fu turned and looked at Yun Mei.

Yun Mei stepped back a few paces and burst into laughter, "Ji Fu, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? If you weren't so hard to deal with, I would have struck you long ago!"

She took advantage of their distraction to make an identical pill, then swapped it with the one Qiao Sheng gave.

Ji Fu opened her mouth wider and spat out a lot of blood.

Nan Xin snapped back to his senses and quickly stepped forward to take her pulse.

Hao Meiyu cast a glance.

Nan Xin shook his head.

Hao Meiyu immediately questioned Yun Mei, "Why did you do this?"

Although she disliked Ji Fu, she also felt sorry for her.

Because of a man.

She ruined her whole life.

Yun Mei said loudly, "Why? Ask Ji Fu what she did twenty years ago! To cultivate a unique gu, she killed my entire family; I was only six then. I wasn't old, but I survived and saw with my own eyes how my parents died…"

She spent twelve years getting close to Ji Fu and became her disciple.

Until now.

She has only now risen to the position of chief disciple.

The purpose.

Was to take revenge on her.

Nan Xin didn't know any of this; he asked Ji Fu, "Did you really do such a thing?"

"I've killed so many people over the years that I can't remember…"

Ji Fu replied while spitting blood.

"You…"

Nan Xin felt like he was going to die of anger at Ji Fu.

Even though he was furious, he didn't ignore her; he immediately asked Yun Mei, "Is there an Antidote?"

"No!"

Yun Mei answered very decisively.

Nan Xin set Ji Fu down and asked, "Are you sure there's none?"

Yun Mei still said there was none.

Just as her words finished,

Ji Fu fainted, and never woke up again.

Nan Xin had always thought he no longer loved her.

However.

Just as she died before him,

He felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

At that moment, Nan Xin finally realized he still loved her, but they could never return to how things were.

He gave Yun Mei a sum of money as compensation.

Nan Xin took Ji Fu back to his residence for burial.

Yun Mei didn't leave; she followed Shi Lin and the others all the way.

Shi Lin saw that she was still thinking of him and even tempting him; at midnight he called An Yi and the others, and they all rode a carriage away from the inn where they had been staying, then left the city using a token.

Qiao Sheng didn't know because she was still asleep; it wasn't until she woke up the next morning that she realized she was in the carriage.

"Didn't we say we'd leave at dawn? Did I oversleep?"

"Hmm."

Shi Lin didn't tell Qiao Sheng about Yun Mei's actions.

The reason he chose to slip away secretly was mainly because Yun Mei was Ji Fu's disciple and he feared her gu technique was also powerful.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he feared Qiao Sheng would be harmed again.

Shi Lin warned An Yi and the others, so they said nothing.

Xiao Jin still didn't know they had already found Qiao Sheng.

Until.

Qiao Sheng had Shi Lin send a letter to his family.

He only learned of it after returning home.

After reading the letter, Xiao Jin decided to go to the Imperial Capital, not because he was dwelling on the reward Qiao Sheng and the others gave, but because he still hasn't let go of Qiao Sheng. (End of chapter)
