Rong Xiaorong: "Changting, about this matter, don't blame me. I really had no choice. If I deceived you to come here, I would be the one dead!"
Weng Changting couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Rong Xiaorong. She looked at Old Wan and the two others with a sullen face and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"What do we want to do? Miss, we're just following orders."
"Whose orders are you following?"
"The Evil Mage, you should know."
Weng Changting's heart sank. Just yesterday, she chatted with her senior brother Wuchen and learned about some concluding matters. Wuchen is from the 749 Bureau, here to capture the Evil Mage.
This Evil Mage has been in Yun City for the past two years, using young girls for cultivation and has caused the death of many girls—truly atrocious.
However, this Evil Mage is extremely mysterious, his whereabouts unpredictable. All who have seen him are dead. Wuchen has been investigating for a long time but found nothing!
Weng Changting kept herself calm: "Give me a reason."
"It's simple. Using you as bait to kill that meddling Li Chuan."
Before Old Wan could respond, a sinister voice echoed from the manor's entrance.
Weng Changting turned her head and saw a figure at the entrance, appearing without notice.
It's Wang Teng!
"It's you? Well, a young master from the Wang Family, colluding with the Evil Mage." Weng Changting's tone was icy.
Wang Teng sneered: "No need to speak so harshly. It's not really collusion, just mutually beneficial."
Weng Changting understood why even her senior brother Wuchen couldn't find any clues—the Wang Family was covering for the Evil Mage!
Initially, she thought about revealing her identity, but with the current situation, saying she's from the 749 Bureau might just provoke their anger.
After all, the 749 Bureau and these Evil Cultivators have always been mortal enemies!
Weng Changting's voice was cold: "Wang Teng, you're a top figure, a young master from a prestigious family, a mighty hero. So why not confront Li Chuan directly, but instead use a woman to threaten him? Isn't that too low?"
But such a provocation was insignificant to Wang Teng, whose face showed ridicule: "As long as the goal is achieved, who cares if it's despicable or not!"
"I've set up a trap at the Four Seasons Manor. Once Li Chuan steps in, it's like he's stepped into Hell."
"Besides, the Evil Mage is the one who most wants to kill him!"
Weng Changting was stunned: "Why?"
"Because he broke the Evil Mage's witchcraft, causing our plan to fail. Do you think the Evil Mage doesn't want him dead?"
Weng Changting shook her head: "Li Chuan and I are merely acquaintances. Yet you plan to use me to coerce him, use me as bait? Aren't you assuming too much?"
Wang Teng: "You never know unless you try!"
Wang Teng turned to Rong Xiaorong: "Here's another task for you. Go find Li Chuan, tell him Weng Changting is having a meal at the Four Seasons Manor but somehow got poisoned. Make him come over now."
Then, he looked at Old Wan: "Use witchcraft on her, keep a close eye on her, don't let it go wrong again."
"If she dares resist, just kill her."
Old Wan chuckled: "Leave it to me."
Old Wan reached into his clothing and pulled out a spider, stuffing it into Rong Xiaorong's mouth.
Rong Xiaorong's face turned black. After eating a stinky stick, now a spider! Why is it always her!
"Scoundrel!" Weng Changting glared viciously at Wang Teng.
Thinking it through, Wang Teng really is cunning, using her as bait to threaten Li Chuan, though Li Chuan may not come. Even if he does, he'd be cautious, possibly bringing people from Yun Valley.
But if she were poisoned here, things would be entirely different. Li Chuan is a doctor; knowing she's poisoned, he'd surely be less vigilant.
…
Zhao Family.
Li Chuan stayed for the family banquet.
To be honest, sitting properly with Zhao Ying for a meal would be somewhat awkward for Li Chuan.
Because after just meeting her, they ended up in bed together, not just in bed, but through the night.
However, easing this awkwardness is easy enough; just one round is enough.
Zhao Panshan, experienced in Jianghu, quickly noticed there's certainly a story between his daughter and Li Chuan.
Because the two occasionally exchanged glances, with slightly awkward expressions.
And his daughter's gaze showed a hint of shyness.
Indeed, it's that kind of shyness.
Zhao Panshan took a bite and pretended to ask curiously: "Did you already know each other?"
Zhao Ying hurriedly replied: "No…"
Li Chuan: "I don't know her, Mr. Zhao, don't overthink it. First time in Yun Valley, how would I know Miss Zhao? Just met Miss Zhao, it's too absurd to have something happen, um… I'm saying… Miss Zhao is a top domestic star; feeling shy is normal…"
"Hahaha…"
Seeing Li Chuan's awkward expression, Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh.
Since meeting Li Chuan again in Yun Valley, Li Chuan has always maintained that high-and-mighty demeanor, being the Divine Doctor and Martial Arts Master. Any devilish witchcraft in his presence is easily defeated.
What she didn't expect was that such a person also has moments of indecisiveness.
Thinking this, she recalled what happened between them at the Jiangzhou Hotel.
"Alright, stop speaking, the more you say, the more outrageous it gets," Zhao Ying said, amused.
Being a top domestic star, every movement is electrifying, making Li Chuan's heart race.
Though Zhao Ying doesn't possess Nangong Chunshui's captivating charm, Nangong Chunshui, as a Grandmaster, naturally exudes charisma after cultivation, unmatched by ordinary people, able to incite ecstasy with just a glance!
But Zhao Ying is a rare gem!
In terms of beauty, features, figure, demeanor, and even an air of aristocracy, she differs significantly from other women.
It's key to her becoming a top star.
Li Chuan: "If I don't say anything, your dad might misunderstand that I've done something to you."
Zhao Ying's face instantly turned red. This time, she didn't evade it but looked directly at Li Chuan: "Then tell me, didn't you do anything to me?"
Li Chuan: "…"
Under Zhao Ying's stare, Li Chuan felt guilty.
Zhao Panshan, having lived a long life, was perceptive, and stood up smiling: "Ah, when you're older, just a little is enough. I'm tired, I'll rest first. You youngsters, eat more, then you need some activity."
Saying that, Zhao Panshan got up and left.
Li Chuan was stunned: "What does your dad mean by 'activity'? Is he encouraging me to do something to his daughter? Is he even your real dad? You should get a father-daughter test done early."
Zhao Ying smiled: "We already did. He's definitely my dad."
