4 For What 2
She said frankly, “What I want is the Fire Lotus flower.”
“….”
“Also, I need to settle some personal grudges with Ouyang Mingjing.”
“….”
“Elder Man, you are here asking for me, because I need to help you with something. If you do, please tell me, Elder Man, if I help you, you don’t have to worry about my personal grudge. I just need the Fire Lotus flower.” Gu Chaoyan said.
Fire Lotus flower?
The human-shaped being made of magical power showed a strange expression on the face.
“You are posioned?” He was obviously surprised.
“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.
No wonder he could not sense any magical power from the Pheonix Girl. But for the white jade sword, he would not even admit that she was the Pheonix Girl.
So that was the explanation.
Hearing the result, Elder Man sneered. “They are really unscrupulous.”
“What do you know?” Gu Chaoyan could tell from his tone that he knew the truth.
She had no idea when the cold poison was planted or why the fire lotus flower was in Snow Territory.
She had been posioned with that venom since she was little.
Then how did people from Snow Territory drug her?
That was what Gu Chaoyan had never been able to understand.
“If you are posioned, then there is no need to wonder why you are here in Snow Territory. I am just feeling emotional because of what those people did to you. Your mother, namely the previous wife of the City Lord, was so weak in magical power that she could do nothing for Snow Territory. So they wanted you to come to Snow Territory as soon as possible.”
“….”
“But your mother, who has very little magical power, gritted her teeth and ran out of Snow Territory when she was about to give birth to you.”
“….”
“I did not understand why they were not in a hurry to get your mother back when she ran away. It was because they planted the cold drug in your mother’s body. Even if she ran away, she had to return to Snow Territory if she wanted to live. Also, you are intermediately poisoned, and the Fire Lotus flower in Snow Territory can detoxify you.”
“….”
“They must have not expected that your mother would rather die than return to Snow Territory. That is why they have been asking you for help these years.”
“….”
“But Ouyang Mingjing was innocent about your venom and your mother’s. He was not yet the City Lord.” He recounted the past, but did not push the blame to Ouyang Mingjing just because he wanted to work with Gu Chaoyan.
Ouyang Mingjing was innocent, but not the Elder Man next to him.
Ouyang Mingjing was someone they made use of.
“Anyway, we can talk about the past when we have time. I don’t have enough magical power. Today our arrangement is reached. I will come to you if you need anything in the future.”
The moment he finished the words, he was gone.
Gu Chaoyan was left alone in the chair, looking serious.
Lingyun was not assured. What she had just heard was too shocking. She was worried that Elder Miss would not be able to accept the truth at the moment.
“Lingyun, please leave me.” Gu Chaoyan said seriously.
“Elder Miss, are you alright? I…”
“Nothing, just leave me alone.”
Instead of insisting, Lingyun left directly.
Elder Miss always had ideas.
After Lingyun left, Gu Chaoyan went directly into the space, where Huang Fu was rummaging through a pile of old books.
“You know about what happened to my mother?”
