Chapter 6: Unspoken Secrets
like a dashing young lord stepped out of a painting. No wonder he wears a mask, otherwise, he'd be swarmed with admirers! 。"A doctor sees no gender, just consider it a debt you owe me!" Xiao Yuge fro...Qian Si Chen listened with a shocked expression: "Are you saying someone drugged it" Then, anger flared: "If this palace finds out who it is, this palace will not let them off!"
"My elder sister has always liked peace and quiet. Besides the maid who sweeps, only An Ling attends to her in the courtyard." Xiao Yuge 'kindly' reminded him.
“Are you saying it was An Ling” Qian Si Chen immediately denied, “With just her as a maid, she wouldn’t dare to plot against this palace. But if…” He suddenly thought of something, his expression changed drastically, “Impossible! Fu'er wouldn’t do such a thing!”
Then Qingluo chimed in: "When I went to the pharmacy yesterday to pick up medicine for Miss, I happened to see An Ling there as well. She dropped this handkerchief, and I just picked it up. I completely forgot to give it back to her just now." With that, she shook the handkerchief in her hand: "Miss, this servant will take it back to An Ling right away."
It was like divine intervention, a single word from someone else, surpassing thousands of words. Now, even if Qian Sichin tried his best to believe Xiao Yufu, he couldn't help but start to have doubts in his heart.
Staring at Qian Si Chen’s back as he walked away, lost and disheartened, Xiao Yu Ge's smile gradually froze: "Qian Si Chen, this is just the beginning. Don't let me down!"
After that night's encounter, Xiao Yuge made thorough preparations and quietly left the house. Luckily, nothing unexpected happened along the way. Following her past life's memories, she soon found the lair of Qianji Pavilion.
With past life memories, she also smoothly met the head of Qianji Pavilion, Ye Wuhuan!
"Who are you How did you know" Just like in her past life, Ye Wuhuan brought her into the secret room and fiercely gripped her neck. His secrets were unknown to outsiders, and even those who knew them had gone to meet the King of Hell. But how did this underdeveloped-looking girl know
Who would have thought that the master of Qianjige, a notorious figure in the Jianghu, would be so incompetent in this aspect.
Xiao Yu ge let him pinch her without struggling: "It doesn't matter how I know, what matters is that I can cure you."
Ye Wu Huan let out a cold snort, ripping the veil from her face and narrowed his eyes to assess her: "A little girl who hasn't even seen what a man's body looks like, dares to spout such nonsense here about curing this Master, it's truly laughable! Speak! What is your purpose here" He tightened his grip, satisfied with the flush on her reddened face.
“I know Qianjigong has a secret art that can quickly open up a person’s meridians in a short time, thereby rapidly increasing their internal energy. I will heal you in exchange for this secret art and half of your internal energy. How about it” Being choked by the neck was truly unpleasant, this was the second time, and she swore that she would never allow anyone to choke her again.
"Ye Wuhuan let out a series of cackling laughs upon hearing this: 'You have quite the mouth on you, daring to demand half of this lord's inner strength! Do you truly not fear that this lord will kill you right now' "
"Inner strength can be cultivated again, but half your power in exchange for a lifetime of happiness. This is a worthwhile deal for the Lord. If you don't believe me, kill me now. But I believe that in this world, only I can cure your illness." Xiao Yuge knew there was no other choice.
Ye Wuhuan stared at her, silent for a long while: "You're just a girl in your teens, why do you want martial arts so much"
Xiao Yu Ge raised her eyes to look at him, then at the big hand that was gripping her neck. “See I don’t like being held down with no way to fight back.”
Ye Wu Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly loosened his grip on her neck. He narrowed his cold eyes, staring at her for a long while, then pursed his lips and walked to the side. After a long silence, he turned back: "The implementation of secret arts is extremely painful, beyond what ordinary people can endure. Even if this master agrees to you, you might very well die from the pain!"
"I can endure it!" It's just reliving the pain she suffered in her past life. She had already died once, so what was there to fear about a little pain
Night had no joy, once again shocked. A girl of fifteen or sixteen, what on earth must she have experienced to be this extraordinarily calm
Ultimately, Xiao Yu Ge still successfully persuaded Ye Wu Huan just like she did in her past life.
With memories of her past life, she was prepared. After a series of acupuncture treatments, Nightless Joy's expression seemed to ease considerably.
"This is the first treatment, and there's a second, third..." Xiao Yuge calmly collected the silver needles.
"You're mocking me" Nightless Joy's face instantly darkened upon hearing this, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"The Lord has been poisoned for a long time, and it will take several treatments to completely remove it." Xiao Yuge remained calm and composed: "I will be here on time tomorrow at this hour. In three days, if there is no effect, the Lord can kill me whenever he wishes."
She walked to the door and stopped again: "My name is Xiao Yuge, the second daughter of Prime Minister Xiao in Beijing."
"Little girl, you told me everything about your family fortune. Aren't you afraid of me coming to find you Everything Qianji Pavilion does is deadly business. Even if your father is that old fox Xiao Zhan, so what I'm not afraid of the authorities!" Ye Wuhuan was surprised by her frankness.
“Even if I didn't say anything, you would have people investigate, wouldn't you Since everyone has their own agenda, why not be honest I just hope this remains our secret.” Xiao Yuge finished speaking and left directly. She knew that Ye Wuhuan wanted to keep this matter secret more than anyone else and naturally wouldn't reveal her identity.
"Master, should I follow" asked Mingye, appearing beside him.
Ye Wuhuan raised her hand and said, “No need.” For some reason, he just believed her.
The next day
Xiao Yu Ge woke up to the sun already high in the sky. He had returned home late last night and slept through his alarm, even missing the time to pay respects to his parents.
"Qing Luo, Qing Luo!" she called out twice.
"Miss." Qing Luo pushed open the door.
Seeing Qing Luo's appearance seemed a little off, so he asked, "Qing Luo, what's wrong"
Qing Luo pursed her lips, looking unhappy: “The master and madam have lifted the ban on Miss.”
"I thought it was something big, but it's just this Mother told me about it at dinner last night." Xiao Yuge wasn't surprised. The elders of the Xiao family doted on Xiao Yufu, who was both beautiful and talented. Confinement for a few days was already the limit. Besides, Xiao Yufu was used to pretending to be weak and obedient, naturally able to coax them.
"But it's only been a few days! Before, when young lady made a mistake, the master and mistress would confine her for half a month." Qingluo said a little indignantly on behalf of young lady, "You are the master and mistress' biological daughter after all."
Xiao Yu Ge heard this and just smiled, casually asking: "Did the young lady go out" Logically speaking, Xiao Yu Fu should have gone to find Qian Si Chen to explain what happened that day immediately.d. Just like acting in a play, every cue triggered tears: "Si Chen gege, are you suspecting that what happened that day was arranged by Fu'er"Qiān Sīchén pursed her lips and remained silent."No! I lo...
