Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2166: Chapter 2164: The Next Clan Leader

Chao Xiangman was stunned by the blow and screamed as she regained her senses, ”You dare hit me? I’ll kill you!”

She was probably so furious that she threw poison powder as if it were worthless. Bai Ruozhu used her inner strength to repel all the poison.

Her own poison wouldn’t harm herself, but seeing that Bai Ruozhu wasn’t poisoned, she became even angrier, and her sword strikes towards Bai Ruozhu became even more ferocious.

The Dagger in Bai Ruozhu’s hand was shorter than her sword, seemingly at a disadvantage, but it won in flexibility and speed. She deftly evaded Chao Xiangman’s sword and swung her dagger, making a cut on her body.

”Ah... you bastard!” Chao Xiangman was about to lose her mind with anger. She hadn’t anticipated Bai Ruozhu to be much stronger than she imagined. Wasn’t she just a rural village woman? How could she be this powerful?

Could it be...

She looked towards the Jiuli Clan’s direction, and suddenly it dawned on her that Bai Ruozhu must have obtained some opportunity there, or else how could she be her match?

She didn’t dare to face it head-on, gritted her teeth, and switched to a set of bizarre sword techniques, but Bai Ruozhu changed her stance, not confronting her directly but circling around her and giving her unexpected cuts.

Chao Xiangman was infuriated; this was definitely a blatant slap in the face, the greatest humiliation for her.

Being able to cut her like this without killing or seriously injuring her, but rather making small cuts on her body, was something she had never experienced before.

”Not resigned? I’m being merciful by not killing you, so hurry up and get lost!” Bai Ruozhu sneered, ”As for Jiang Yichun, just ask around Chengshui Country, you’re no match for me, I don’t need to deceive you.”

”I won’t let you go, just you wait!” Chao Xiangman shouted angrily, but realized her clothes were torn open, exposing her skin underneath.

Not far away, the Su Clan Leader and the third elder turned their heads away, respectful not to look. Ruozhu is quite mischievous.

”Ah!” Chao Xiangman screamed in misery, how could she face anyone like this?

”Not leaving yet? Or should I make a few more cuts?” Bai Ruozhu grinned wickedly, waving her dagger around as if to emphasize that a few more cuts would shred Chao Xiangman’s clothes entirely, leaving her with nothing but her undergarments.

”Just you wait! Just you wait!” Chao Xiangman was too angry to say anything else, only able to threaten while covering her chest and buttocks, fleeing hastily.

Bai Ruozhu shook her clothes, shaking off the poison powder stuck on them, and walked back. The clan leader hadn’t understood what she was doing, only feeling she had toyed with her enemy and brushed off her clothes elegantly.

Even the Su Clan Leader couldn’t help but sigh, ”What a pity Ruozhu was born a girl, otherwise...”

Bai Ruozhu was in a great mood, having driven away a woman attempting to play the third wheel felt like slapping Jiang Yichun in the face, letting out her anger.

”What about being a girl? Don’t the Jiuli Clan respect strength above all? Does it matter if you’re male or female?” Bai Ruozhu said casually. With her modern mindset advocating gender equality, she spoke without realizing it.

The Su Clan Leader closed the Barrier entrance after she entered and said with a smile, ”You’re right, strength above all, what about being a girl?”

His smile grew wider, ”So I think you being the candidate for the next clan leader wouldn’t be bad.”

Bai Ruozhu was taken aback, ”No, I’m not interested. I’d better go treat Yizi’s injuries.”

She boasted for no good reason, what if the clan leader actually has his eye on her and insists she becomes the young clan leader? Fen Jizhi would hate her!

Whether Fen Jizhi hated her was fine, but she really wasn’t interested in this. To be a leader, you have to spend more time and energy than others, and have strong responsibility, looking after this person and that person; she couldn’t do it. Managing one Medical Alliance and one Commerce Association was already tiring.

”Hehe, you go tend to the young girl and recuperate first, we can discuss these things later.” The clan leader said with a chuckle.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, discuss it later, she really didn’t want to discuss it again.

She forced a smile and agreed, hurriedly helping Yizi return, with Bi Tao assisting and expressing admiration, ”I really underestimated you before, good thing I didn’t thoroughly offend you.”

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, ”Scared now right? Don’t be as arrogant as Chao Xiangman in the future, or you’ll see how you’re dealt with.”

Bi Tao laughed, ”I used to be smart, couldn’t act arrogantly, only Fo Lanying would act more domineering.”

Bai Ruozhu’s face darkened instantly, she wasn’t someone who couldn’t control a situation, but hearing Fo Lanying’s name still made her uneasy.

Why did Jiang Yichun end up with Fo Lanying, like he said, because Fo Lanying, the Quanrong princess, was useful to him?

”Ruozhu, what’s wrong?” Bi Tao saw her in a daze and quickly asked, ”Didn’t get poisoned, did you?”

Bai Ruozhu snapped back, ”I’m fine, just thinking about how to treat Yizi.”

Only then did Bi Tao carefully look at Yizi, muttering, ”You have a lot of subordinates, truly enviable.”

While they spoke, the two had returned to the Diaojiao Building, helped Yizi upstairs, and Lin Ping’er and the others came over worriedly. Only after Bai Ruozhu reassured them it was an internal injury, manageable with treatment, did they feel relieved.

Bai Ruozhu applied needles to Yizi to adjust her meridians, and Bi Tao tactfully retreated. However, she glanced at Bai Ruozhu’s silver needle with a hopeful look, as if she had something to say.

Afterward, Bai Ruozhu thoroughly examined Yizi, finding that she wasn’t poisoned, likely because Chao Xiangman didn’t think it worth using poison on her.

It wasn’t long before Yizi awoke, spitting out a mouthful of clotted blood, and focus returned to her eyes.

”Master, I’m useless, causing you trouble.” Yizi’s voice was timid, with a hint of tears.

”She was coming for me, and she used poison, it’s normal you were tricked, not your fault.” Bai Ruozhu said gently, ”Don’t overthink it, rest and heal well. Once healed, I’ll have someone teach you things here. The Arrays are very strong; don’t you want to learn more?”

Yizi’s eyes lit up, ”Of course, I’ll definitely get better soon.”

Then Bai Ruozhu went to prepare a decoction, personally feeding Yizi the medicine, which made the little girl so moved, she almost called Bai Ruozhu ’Mom.’ Bai Ruozhu felt a bit embarrassed, thinking, it’s only right to care for friends when they’re sick.

But in Yizi’s heart, she thought how kind her master was, personally preparing and feeding her medicine. Other masters surely wouldn’t do such things. She decided to follow Bai Ruozhu well and become stronger, not being a burden anymore.
