Chapter 2262: Chapter 2262: Not Suitable for Physical Activity
Xuexue knew the poison on the silver needles had taken effect and hurriedly said to Long Rui, "Big Bull, quickly let me down."
They had come to secretly investigate the fourth prince’s mansion tonight, so their identities were naturally hidden. Hence, Xuexue called Long Rui by his former name from the Mo Family Village.
Long Rui quickly let Xuexue down and carefully admonished, "Dear, stand firm!"
"Alright!"
After Xuexue steadied herself, she turned her head and proudly spoke to Lin Kong, "How is it? Quite the taste, right? I advise you not to move; otherwise, the poison will flow faster with your blood. By then, it won’t be as simple as losing an arm, your life might be at stake."
Lin Kong was trembling with rage; since venturing into the Itinerant World, he had never suffered such a setback.
Indeed, Lin Kong became Celestial Master Zhang’s master at a young age, excelling in both martial arts and divination, unmatched by ordinary people. Until now, apart from Long Rui, he had never met a worthy opponent! Naturally, he was proud and couldn’t tolerate Xuexue’s mockery. His face turned ashen, and he cursed, "You vile woman, filthy thieves, your thoughts are truly malicious. What kind of poison did you use?"
Xuexue’s voice was syrupy sweet as she said, "This medicine isn’t much; it’s just that the affected person shouldn’t move. As soon as one moves, the poison becomes excited and slowly seeps through your body via the blood, finally reaching your heart, rendering it incurable. Your body will slowly rot until you die."
Lin Kong didn’t believe it at all; these two little thieves underestimated him too much! Thinking that merely saying something would scare him was laughable; he was teaching the fourth prince evil cultivation, how could he be so easily frightened?
Thus, he remained calm, attempting to secretly perform power to drive the poison out, but soon found it useless, half of his body quickly became paralyzed.
The commotion at Floating Melody Pavilion had already alarmed the entire fourth prince’s mansion, and now all the guards were rushing over.
"Assassins, catch the assassins." The guards shouted as they charged over, holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other.
The fourth prince was among them.
"Master!"
The fourth prince led the way, charging up.
Upon seeing this, Xuexue and Long Rui exchanged a glance, and Xuexue whispered something in Long Rui’s ear.
Long Rui nodded repeatedly, "Alright, it’s a good idea, dear, you’re so clever."
Xuexue: "Don’t praise too soon; we only say that once the fourth prince is deceived."
Long Rui: "Don’t worry, dear, leave it to me. The fourth prince won’t escape this time."
Lin Kong, being close, heard their conversation but didn’t catch everything. He could tell from their dialogue that they were plotting against the fourth prince but didn’t know their strategy to harm him.
No matter how much Lin Kong disagreed with the fourth prince, they were mentor and disciple; they shared fame and fate. He didn’t wish for the fourth prince to encounter any trouble; after all, when the fourth prince was glorious, he, as the master, shared the honor.
"What... What do you intend to do to the fourth prince?" Lin Kong’s entire body was paralyzed; he could hear but couldn’t move, feeling extremely anxious.
Xuexue approached him and coldly said, "Destroy him."
Lin Kong: "Who... who are you? Why are you doing this? The fourth prince hasn’t wronged you."
Xuexue once more coldly stated, "He practices evil cultivation, harming the people of Moli Country, he deserves to die."
Finally, she glared at Lin Kong and declared, "You taught him evil cultivation, you deserve to die too."
