Chapter 1582 - 1581: Might Die
She said she wanted to, and then the man chose her as his spokesperson and told her how to keep Tang Rao attached to her. Unexpectedly, when she cast the first net, Xiao Yue got caught in it and perfectly completed her task. The second time she saw Xiao Yue, she found Xiao Yue was in such a sorry state, the man suddenly regretted it; this woman turns into this just after experiencing a little setback.The man doubted whether such a Xiao Yue could accomplish any major task.
"If I don't come, will I just watch you die, watch you destroy my plan?"
The man wore a Grim Reaper mask. Xiao Yue couldn't see the face behind the mask; just looking at the cold light reflecting off the mask, it's only the face under this mask, which would not bring a sense of warmth.
"I can't die. If I die, Tang Rao dies too. You promised me that the poisonous insect poison I placed on Tang Rao wouldn't cause him life-threatening harm, didn't you?"
Xiao Yue wholeheartedly believed that this man came to help her, but she was unsure whether he would disappoint her.
"Of course, I worked hard to have you plant the poisonous insect poison on him, how could I let him just die like that?"
When the masked man smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up; only the lower half of his face was visible, surprisingly it looked somewhat attractive.
But attractive as it may be, Xiao Yue ordered herself not to be bewitched by the man before her. The person she loves is always Tang Rao; in this lifetime, it can only be Tang Rao, and no one else is worthy even to carry his shoes.
"Do you want to die here, or leave with me?"
The man realized that Xiao Yue was already lost in her own world, openly expressing her love for Tang Rao; the expression made the man feel extremely nauseous.
The man grabbed Xiao Yue's shoulders, lifting her up like a chick, without giving her any chance to resist.
"I'll go with you!"
She knew she'd die here, and she didn't want to die!
Xiao Yue followed the man out of the cave, only to discover that there were quite a few corpses surrounding the cave. These bodies were people Xiao Yue hadn't finished dealing with earlier; unexpectedly, they just found this cave, and before entering, they were killed.
As for who killed these people, one could guess just by using their nose.
The man prepared a Divine Beast Car, tossing Xiao Yue inside like an item, and then sat inside as well, heading toward the border between the Northern Island and the East Island.
After three days and nights of travel, as Xiao Yue was taken away from the Northern Island by the man, Tang Rao was also sent to the Northern Island Master Mansion entrance.
There was a little friendship between Beiyuan and Tang Rao. Hearing Tang Rao was outside wanting to meet him, Beiyuan didn't make things difficult as he did with others by asking them to send letters and wait for a reply; he personally went to the gate to welcome him, afraid of neglecting Tang Rao.
"Island Master."
"Tang Rao, my young friend!"
Tang Rao greeted Beiyuan dispiritedly, while Beiyuan looked at Tang Rao with more suspicion.
They had been apart for only a few days, yet when meeting again, Tang Rao had turned into this state.
"Tang Rao, my young friend, please come in. Let's talk inside."
Having heard Tang Rao was here, Bei Ming also went to find Beiyuan. A group soon arrived at the conference hall, and Beiyuan had tea served, specifically preparing soft chairs for Tang Rao, afraid he might feel uncomfortable sitting.
"Tang Rao, my young friend, did you suffer a serious injury? Why do you look so much weaker than a few days ago?"
This young man, from the first meeting, Beiyuan had placed great hope in Tang Rao. He had considered many people might get into trouble, but never thought it would be Tang Rao.
"To be honest, Island Master, I've been poisoned by a poisonous insect. I came to the Island Master Mansion today to ask the Island Master's daughter, Miss Bei Lin, to see if she can help remove the poison from my body."
Beiyuan's expression was identical to the previous few upon hearing Tang Rao was poisoned. Like them, he couldn't believe a poisonous insect poison would appear on someone as cautious as Tang Rao.
"My daughter, Bei Lin, has indeed studied this area. But, my daughter is not yet married, treating Tang Rao my young friend could be inconvenient. Young friend Tang Rao, what do you think?"
Beiyuan felt helpless as well; his daughter was different from others. A young lady from a regular family could go out whenever she wanted, meet whoever she pleased. Bei Lin's status is different, the treatment she receives is destined to be different.
According to the rules, an unmarried young lady must exercise extreme caution even when meeting men.
"Father, I heard we have a distinguished guest at home, where is the guest?"
As Beiyuan was troubled, a sound as clear as silver bells came from outside.
The visitor was Bei Lin, and behind Bei Lin was a young girl, who Tang Rao was all too familiar with.
He had been planning to find Zhang Kexin, didn't expect to reunite with her again at the Island Master Mansion.
"Brother Tang Rao."
Zhang Kexin, a guest at the Island Master Mansion, had been playing with Bei Lin earlier. She accidentally glimpsed a familiar figure and only speculated it might be Tang Rao. She explained to Bei Lin, who, being a warm-hearted girl, took Zhang Kexin by the hand over to the conference hall.
Zhang Kexin saw a lifeless face, which made her chest ache.
"My daughter, you truly grow up without understanding rules, even in your own home rushing around recklessly. I fear when you marry into your husband's family, if you don't change this temperament, you might suffer great losses."
Beiyuan played the strict father in front of Bei Lin, but should have expected that Bei Lin wouldn't buy his act at all. She cared only to pull Zhang Kexin's hand toward Tang Rao, unwilling to spare even a glance for Beiyuan.
"Brother Tang Rao, why are you here?"
Zhang Kexin had just been lively and cheerful, suddenly recalled something, and upon speaking again, became slightly timid; Bei Lin was bewildered, unaware of any untold stories between Zhang Kexin and Tang Rao.
"Fool, can't you see your brother Tang Rao is injured? A black line from his forehead links down to his navel. If Bei Lin isn't mistaken, your brother Tang Rao seems to be poisoned with the same fate insect poison."
Just by looking at Tang Rao, Bei Lin deduced he was poisoned with the same fate insect poison.
Being called by Bei Lin one after another as 'your brother Tang Rao,' Zhang Kexin felt first shy, and upon hearing Tang Rao was poisoned with the same fate insect poison, she couldn't remain calm.
"Lin Lin, what kind of insect poison is the same fate insect poison? Will it take Brother Tang Rao's life?"
Meanwhile, Hua Wuque followed Tang Rao's robe, uncovering a layer of clothing, he indeed saw a faint black line linking from the brow to the navel. This black line wasn't so prominent earlier; in three days, it became visibly clear to the naked eye.
Evidently, the poisonous insect poison is far from as simple as Tang Rao and his people imagined.
"It will take his life, and not just his, but another person's too."
Bei Lin had studied poisonous insect poisons for so many years and it was the first time she encountered such a troublesome case.
