Chapter 1370: Chapter 1364

Murong Ziyue felt as if something in her mind suddenly exploded upon hearing those words.

She exclaimed.

"Who did this? Was it Ghost Shiva? That vile woman, she dared to poison you, I’ll fight her to the end!"

To poison even a defenseless woman, Ghost Shiva’s methods were indeed too vicious.

"It wasn’t Ghost Shiva, it was that man called Tu Suxia."

Wan Niang shook her head.

Ever since she refused Zhao Tianming’s marriage proposal, Wan Niang had been very cautious, not stepping out at all.

That day, Ghost Shiva summoned her, claiming to have news about Murong Ziyue’s injury.

Worried about her daughter, Wan Niang went.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the front hall, she did not see Ghost Shiva, but instead met a middle-aged man.

When the man saw her, he was very attentive, inquiring after her wellbeing warmly.

Wan Niang felt uneasy and wanted to avoid him, but he blocked her.

He said he had just returned from Purple Cloud City and knew some things about her daughter at Qingtian Academy.

Wan Niang, upon hearing this, could only stay.

The man sat with Wan Niang in the front hall drinking tea, from which Wan Niang learned that he was a Spiritual Delicacy Master, a native of Fuzhou, surnamed Tu Su, named Xia.

He also mentioned that he had seen Wan Niang once before and had long been smitten with her at first sight.

He subtly inquired about Wan Niang’s plans to remarry, and the more Wan Niang listened, the more uneasy she felt, so she quickly got up to leave.

At that moment, she suddenly felt short of breath and chest tightness, and the man smiled, telling her she had already been poisoned by him.

The tea contained a special poison concocted by Tu Suxia, and only he could cure it.

If Wan Niang didn’t obediently agree to be his concubine within ten days, she would die from the poison.

"Damn Tu Suxia."

Murong Ziyue gritted her teeth upon hearing this.

"Ziyue, I originally intended to die here quietly. Heaven has not treated me so harshly after all, letting me see you one last time before I die."

Wan Niang smiled serenely, not caring much about her own life or death.

She would never remarry; her only concern was her daughter Ziyue.

"Mother, don’t worry. I’ll find a way to neutralize the poison in your body for sure."

After saying that, Murong Ziyue led Wan Niang to Xin Lin.

"Xin Lin, this is my mother. Mother, she is my best friend at Qingtian Academy, Xin Lin. Xin Lin is also an extraordinarily skilled Divine Doctor."

Xīn Lín had overheard Wan Niang’s story just moments ago.

She immediately reached out to check Wan Niang’s pulse.

Then she asked Wan Niang to provide a few drops of blood and took a sniff.

"Xin Lin, can you cure my mother’s poison?"

Murong Ziyue asked anxiously.

"This poison is quite special. It’s not recorded in my father’s Mystical Medicine Book. It seems that Tu Suxia’s tea is unique, and we must find Tu Suxia to obtain the antidote."

Xin Lin pondered briefly.

She wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about poisons.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

She remembered the Heaven-defying Book; with it, analyzing the antidote shouldn’t be a problem.

"Heaven-defying Book, is there a cure for Ziyue’s mother’s poison?"

Xin Lin remembered that the last time, her father’s poison had been neutralized by the Heaven-defying Book, although it required some Heaven-defying Value.

Very soon, Xin Lin spent 100 Heaven-defying Value and received a definite answer from the Heaven-defying Book.

The answer was, of course, that it could be cured, but they first needed to obtain the poison itself, meaning they needed to find the tea that poisoned Wan Niang.
