Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2163: Twisted Worldview

”Chief, don’t come over, I’ll handle this myself,” Bai Ruozhu said quickly.

When two poison masters duel, it’s often difficult to cover all bases, and the chief or the third elder approaching could very well get poisoned.

Chief Su and others realized the two were using poison against each other and hurriedly retreated back into the barrier, afraid they might distract Bai Ruozhu.

”Since we’re going to compete, let my people go and let’s have a fair competition. Or are you afraid that I’m not your opponent, so you need a hostage to threaten me?” Bai Ruozhu looked at Chao Xiangman and said.

”Don’t try to provoke me like this. I already said, as long as you come out, I’ll let her go. I, Chao Xiangman, keep my word, so get lost!” After speaking, Chao Xiangman suddenly slapped Yizi on the chest, sending her flying and making her cough up blood.

Bai Ruozhu was instantly furious. Since she said she would release Yizi, she deliberately struck her again, aggravating Yizi’s injuries. This Chao Xiangman has a truly vicious heart.

The third elder quickly went to help Yizi inside. Yizi clutched her chest in pain and said, ”Master... be careful, she... has hurt Lord Jiang before...”

Before Yizi could finish her sentence, she fainted.

Bai Ruozhu squinted her eyes. To have injured Jiang Yichun, she must possess impressive martial prowess and poison skills, truly a formidable adversary.

But when did she injure Jiang Yichun?

At that moment, Chao Xiangman’s poison powder had already taken effect on Bai Ruozhu. With a thought, she took out a green pill from her space and put it in her mouth.

Soon, the poison was suppressed. She initially wanted to mock Chao Xiangman a bit, but after considering it, she decided to pretend to be poisoned.

Chao Xiangman, on the other hand, was also affected by Bai Ruozhu’s poison. She took some medicine and put it in her mouth. Her detoxification medicine wasn’t bad; at least it could suppress the poison.

”Haha, your poison is formidable, but your detoxification skills are lacking. Trying to play with poisons but unable to detoxify properly, you can’t be considered a good poison master,” Chao Xiangman laughed arrogantly, thinking Bai Ruozhu was more severely poisoned than she was.

Bai Ruozhu continued to pretend to be weak and asked, ”Who exactly are you? And why are you looking for Jiang Yichun?”

Chao Xiangman looked extremely proud, like a victorious rooster, as she raised her chin and said, ”It’s normal for you not to know, given that Jiang Yichun didn’t even take you to the eastern expedition’s military camp.”

Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling a letter she had received from Gao Deng earlier.

The letter mentioned how the army recruited a mountain stronghold on the way, and the leader’s daughter, Yue Lin, had kept pestering Jiang Yichun. Jiang Yichun, being quite annoyed, threw her out of the tent, and Yue Lin died on the spot.

Later investigations revealed that Yue Lin died because her heart and lungs were shattered by inner strength. Her family wanted to take revenge on Jiang Yichun, but it was later discovered that she had been poisoned, making her heart and lungs fragile, which was why Jiang Yichun fell into the trap.

Before the situation could be fully clarified, Yue Lin’s sworn sister, Chao Xiangman, arrived at the military camp and attacked Jiang Yichun at first sight. Jiang Yichun, wanting to explain himself, didn’t take her seriously as she was a woman. However, Chao Xiangman had unusual martial arts and used poison, resulting in Jiang Yichun being injured and nearly losing his life.

When Bai Ruozhu received the news, she was on her way to the Jiuli Clan and wanted to rush to the army to see Jiang Yichun’s condition. She later sent medicine to him.

Unexpectedly, the person who hurt him appeared here. Bai Ruozhu wasn’t naive enough to think Chao Xiangman came to seek revenge on Jiang Yichun. If she wanted revenge, she had plenty of chances back in the army. Why chase so far? What else could it be for?

”I remember now. You are Yue Lin’s sworn sister, Chao Xiangman, who once shouted for vengeance and injured Jiang Yichun,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Chao Xiangman’s face changed slightly, ”That was just a misunderstanding. I later realized someone schemed against me and even sent medicine to Jiang Yichun as an apology. Where is he now? Don’t say you don’t know, because with your seductive skills, you tricked him into giving up glory and angered the Danliang Emperor. But your skills are not worthy of him.”

Bai Ruozhu suddenly found it amusing, ”If you think you’re worthy, go for it. I’ve already told you he’s not here and has gone to Chengshui Country. If you keep wasting time, you might miss him again.”

Chao Xiangman was clearly not convinced by Bai Ruozhu’s words, thinking that Bai Ruozhu would hardly hide someone away, let alone tell her Jiang Yichun’s whereabouts.

Soon she learned that Jiang Yichun went to the Jiuli Clan to seek his wife, so she chased after him. Unfortunately, she wasn’t clear about the Jiuli Clan’s exact location and got sidetracked.

Later, she was in Duanyang City where she accidentally discovered Yizi, who had returned from the mountains. She caught Yizi, interrogated her, and forced her to show the way. But Yizi didn’t know the exact location of the Jiuli Clan.

Eventually, after a big battle between the Quanrong Clan and the Jiuli Clan, many people learned of the Jiuli Clan’s location. Chao Xiangman got the news and immediately brought Yizi to threaten Bai Ruozhu.

”Who are you kidding? I advise you, a woman like you can’t keep his heart. You’re just tying him down with a child, and for a man as outstanding as him to marry you is truly unfortunate,” Chao Xiangman said loudly.

The third elder was infuriated by this, spat, and said, ”Demoness, what are you talking about? Just your character is not even worth one of my granddaughter’s toes!”

If Bai Ruozhu hadn’t stopped them from acting, the third elder would have wanted to slap the young woman dead. Such unfavorable words—truly not knowing how she was raised at home.

Chao Xiangman ignored the third elder, glaring at Bai Ruozhu, ”Fine, since you won’t tell the truth, then prepare to die!”

After speaking, she drew her sword and lunged at Bai Ruozhu, but Bai Ruozhu’s shape flickered, and she easily dodged her sword.

”You—you weren’t poisoned?” Chao Xiangman exclaimed in disbelief.

Bai Ruozhu showed a mocking expression, ”I’ll return your words to you. With such a weak poison, you dare to show off in front of me? Want to poison me? Try again in your next life!”

She repeated Chao Xiangman’s earlier words, delivering a heavy slap to Chao Xiangman’s face. Behind her, Elder Su and the third elder couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Chao Xiangman still wanted to use poison, but Bai Ruozhu wouldn’t give her the chance. With a dagger in her hand, she directly slashed at Chao Xiangman’s neck. Chao Xiangman didn’t dare take it lightly and hurriedly dodged, but soon realized she was further poisoned. Her inner strength and speed were affected, while Bai Ruozhu acted freely, as if unaffected.

As a poison master, couldn’t she see whose skills were superior?

Furious, her teeth clenched tightly. This cunning woman had been watching her for entertainment all along.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Bai Ruozhu suddenly accelerated, rushing in front of her and delivering a series of loud slaps.

”These slaps are a reminder that you can’t speak so crassly or have a skewed worldview. Otherwise, next time it won’t be slaps but your head kicked like a ball!” Bai Ruozhu said coldly.
