Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2528: Chapter 2529: Brocade Pouch and Hair

The Yin Yang Master snorted coldly again. It was unclear whether he did something or whether the guards were just too frightened, but they spat out more blood.

”Get out, all of you, and don’t disturb me again!” His voice was hoarse and his tone exceedingly cold, cold enough to carry a murderous intent, like a cold-blooded demon.

Bai Ruozhu watched his back, and the excitement that had just risen within her subsided again, even tinged with a trace of disappointment.

Just based on his tone of speech, it couldn’t possibly be Ning Yu. Ning Yu was always gentle, how could he be so cold and ruthless, so lethal in his actions?

She pulled the two of them into a nearby corner room, feeling somewhat guilty, because no matter how ruthless he was, he was helping her.

The guards hurriedly retreated; they didn’t dare question the Yin Yang Master’s intent. Soon the yard returned to silence, and Bai Ruozhu let out a sigh of relief, feeling safe for the moment.

”You shouldn’t leave now; going out would mean asking for death. Depart in half an hour, and besides, I think your friend needs treatment too,” the voice of the Yin Yang Master suddenly sounded, revealing that he had noticed Bai Ruozhu from the start.

”Just now, thank you.” Bai Ruozhu still felt a bit unwilling, so she peeked out and asked, ”Might I know your name, so I can repay your life-saving favor in the future?”

The man turned his head, but his face was covered with a metal mask; the mask had Ban Ruo’s horns, looking extremely sinister.

”No need. Don’t come here again in the future, I can’t guarantee I’ll be in such a good mood next time,” the man said.

Bai Ruozhu tentatively asked, ”Ning Yu?”

”What?” The other party was perplexed.

Bai Ruozhu felt disappointed again. It really wasn’t Ning Yu, completely different in aura. Why couldn’t she let it go?

”Are you the Yin Yang Master helping the Fushan Family capture demons?” Bai Ruozhu continued to ask.

”I’m not the only one.” With that, the man turned and left, clearly having no patience to continue talking with Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu recovered her thoughts and then recalled the woman who was poisoned with the aphrodisiac poison.

The aphrodisiac poison was quite potent; the detoxification pills she used could only temporarily suppress it. The poison needed to be treated quickly.

Half a day had already passed, and the woman’s face showed an abnormal redness again.

”My lord, how can I assist you?” Zhitian asked softly. He felt extremely embarrassed; had he not been captured, Master Bai wouldn’t have needed to risk saving him and wouldn’t have been trapped in such a dangerous situation. He was sent by Master Astrologer to protect Master Bai, but now he couldn’t even use his lightness skills.

”Can you listen for any sounds? Keep watch for us,” Bai Ruozhu said.

”Alright,” Zhitian responded promptly.

Bai Ruozhu quickly took out the silver needles and began applying them all over the woman’s body. Her movements were extremely fast, and Zhitian couldn’t see, only hearing the slight rustling of her sleeves, heightening his curiosity about what Bai Ruozhu was doing.

Once the needlework was done, the redness on the woman’s face faded significantly, and she gradually regained consciousness.

As soon as she woke up, she tried to cry out, but Bai Ruozhu quickly pressed on her muting point.

”Don’t make a sound. I came here to rescue my friend and saved you in passing. I also injured the Fushan Patriarch who intended to harm you, so now there are many guards searching for us outside. If you scream, you’ll draw them to us,” Bai Ruozhu whispered.

The woman nodded vigorously before Bai Ruozhu released her mute point.

”Thank you!” said the woman sincerely. She tried to stand but still felt weak.

”Don’t move recklessly. You’ve been poisoned with an aphrodisiac; I can only temporarily suppress it. Without medicinal materials to make an antidote, using your inner strength rashly could accelerate the poison, and then you won’t be able to control yourself,” Bai Ruozhu said quickly.

The woman showed a look of resentment. ”The Fushan Family is so despicable; my master will definitely not let them off!”

”Huh, you don’t have an accent from Fusang. Are you from Zhongyuan?” Bai Ruozhu asked in astonishment.

”I’m not Fusang, nor am I from Zhongyuan. I am...” She seemed to recall something and hesitated for a moment, ”I’m from an island in the Donghai.”

Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to pry into secrets the woman didn’t wish to share, and now wasn’t the time for reminiscence; they needed to find a way to escape.

”Later, I’ll find a way to get you out first, and then we’ll talk once we’re out of the Fushan House,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Zhitian, who had been silent all the while, suddenly spoke up, ”Master Bai, you’re a Curse Master. You should be able to break the Yin Yang Curse on me, right? How about I tell you the method, and you try to use your essence to lift the curse for me.”

Bai Ruozhu caught onto his words, using ”try.”

”Are you absolutely sure? What if it doesn’t work and you get more hurt?” Bai Ruozhu asked urgently.

”It’s dangerous for you to take two people with you, we can only try,” Zhitian said resolutely.

Bai Ruozhu hesitated; she didn’t dare to try it, especially since Zhitian himself wasn’t confident. How could they recklessly attempt it?

”I’m a Yin Yang Master; although I’ve been poisoned, I can try to lift his Yin Yang Curse without using inner strength, so the poison shouldn’t react immediately,” the woman suggested.

Such a task entrusted to a stranger was likely more dangerous than allowing Bai Ruozhu to risk trying. Bai Ruozhu hesitated, but Zhitian agreed immediately without waiting for Bai Ruozhu to speak and started explaining the method to lift the curse to the woman.

Seeing the woman listening intently, Bai Ruozhu berated herself for being suspicious. The woman surely needed their help to leave the Fushan House safely, so why would she want to harm Zhitian?

If something happened to Zhitian, not to mention abandoning the woman, they might kill her on the spot. How could she resist?

The woman began to break the curse on Zhitian, and after about a quarter of an hour, a fine sheen of sweat was on Zhitian’s forehead, but his eyes regained focus.

”Thank you,” said Zhitian.

”It’s not completely lifted; you should find a more capable Yin Yang Master to help you when you return,” the woman said somewhat apologetically.

”It’s enough for us to escape,” Zhitian smiled.

The three of them adjusted their breathing for a moment before planning to leave. Bai Ruozhu glanced at the room where the Yin Yang Master had been and whispered, ”Thank you, farewell!”

Once the three of them departed, the Yin Yang Master sighed in the room, reaching up to remove the metal mask from his face, revealing a handsome visage.

If anyone were to see him at this moment, they would certainly cry out in shock that this man looked almost identical to Master Astrologer Yin Yang Four.

He murmured somewhat absentmindedly, ”Why meddle in others’ affairs? Is it because she feels familiar to me?”

The man squeezed the mask in his hand, his gaze soon clearing and returning to the previous coldness as if the lost-in-thought person earlier wasn’t him at all.

Then, he reached into his robes and drew out a brocade pouch, regarding it as if it were the most precious treasure.

He carefully opened the brocade pouch, revealing a small lock of hair inside, strikingly snow-white!
