Chapter 1492

Nangong Yun initially just discussed with Sima Liuyue to have the Old Madam order the capture of Guisu.

By that time, they would directly kill Guisu and then report back that Guisu resisted and accidentally died.

This way, Sima Liuyue would get rid of a major threat, and Nangong Yun could weaken Baili Xia’s power.

Unexpectedly, Bei Qingyue returned, which was a huge surprise.

With Bei Qingyue’s implicit approval, no matter how big the problem was, Bei Qingyue would take responsibility.

She no longer had to worry about Mu Xiaojiu causing trouble for her, nor did she have to worry about whether Bei Tianyou would become furious; everything was handled by her mother, Bei Qingyue.

Nangong Yun received the order and immediately returned to Wangyue Pavilion, gathering all of Bei Qingyue’s people.

With Sima Liuyue’s arrangements, they would surely find Guisu quickly…

…

After Baili Xia left Bi Luo Pavilion with the medicine pack, she followed the traces left by Guisu along the way.

Whenever she lost direction, somehow, some obvious traces, like bloodstains or footprints, would always appear.

Soon, she began to feel that something seemed amiss.

If Guisu was injured, he probably wouldn’t care to leave such traces for tracking.

Thinking of this, she started to suspect whether someone intentionally left these traces for others to follow.

If these traces weren’t left by Guisu but by someone with ulterior motives…

Despite feeling uneasy, given that Guisu might be seriously injured, Baili Xia decided to keep pursuing to take a look.

Following the traces for about an hour, she eventually arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The mountain wasn’t very high, it could only be described as a small hill.

Here, Baili Xia searched for a long time but couldn’t find any trace of Guisu.

She raised her head and observed the surroundings, only to discover that the small hill was a medicinal mountain, covered with medicinal herbs.

Having learned about herbs from Nangong Xu for some time, she had some recognition of them.

The herbs on this mountain were very rare.

This place was probably where the Bei Family specifically grew medicinal herbs.

Baili Xia hesitated slightly; if Guisu was injured, he shouldn’t have run here.

In this place, there wasn’t much room for hiding either.

Baili Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped and decided not to pursue any further.

It was clear that someone had set a trap, waiting for her to step into it.

Even though she couldn’t understand the intention behind it, the Bei Family had just experienced such a serious incident.

The people behind it were probably trying to frame her too.

With this in mind, her determination to turn back became firmer.

It was unfortunate that Guisu’s phone wasn’t on him, so there was no way to contact him.

She had just turned around to leave when a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind.

“Xiaxia.”

Baili Xia turned around and saw a sturdy figure walking out from behind the mound.

“Guisu!” Baili Xia’s eyes lit up, and she rushed over, running to Guisu’s side.

Though it wasn’t a tall mound, running up was still about twenty meters in height.

She was already a bit out of breath before reaching the top.

“Why are you here?” Guisu’s voice lost its former stiffness as he greeted her.

Walking together, Baili Xia circled around him, holding his arm, and found no sign of injury.

“You… aren’t injured?”

Guisu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his voice carrying a trace of surprise.

His voice deepened, “No, why?”
