"Look at you, you must be so tired standing like this. How about I ask someone to bring you a chair so you can sit down and let my dad sit down too?" Bai Shu tried to get close to her.

Bai Jiyue refused coldly: "No need."

Bai Shu is a cunning man, and she doesn't want to create any more trouble, nor will she relax on Bai Shoukun.

"Witch, let me go!" Bai Shoukun shouted angrily.

Now he was like a dumpling, tied up tightly by his own whip and unable to move at all. What was even more hateful was that no matter he used his internal force or other methods, he could not loosen the whip.

Bai Jiyue must have used some unorthodox methods, otherwise how could he have controlled the whip in his hand!

Bai Jiyue kicked him hard and said, "If you call me witch again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Bai Shoukun was furious: "How dare you insult my elders!"

Even when Bai Jiyue's father Bai Shousheng was still alive, he had to call him "brother". When Bai Jiyue was still a disabled person, he had to call him "uncle" when he saw him. But now he is so disrespectful and disrespectful to his elders!

"Elder? You may have been one before, but you were no longer one when you drove us, an orphan and a widow, out of the Bai family. To me now, you are just an arrogant, conceited, and mean old man. To such an old man, it's okay to insult him, so what?"

"You! You devil!" Bai Shoukun was furious.

He likes to pretend to be a gentleman in public and is very proud of his status, so over the years, his vocabulary of swear words has gradually been insufficient, so that now when he wants to curse, he is at a loss for words and can only use "witch" or "demon".

Bai Jiyue didn't have so many concerns. He had already tied him up anyway, and a huge hatred had already been formed, so he might as well go all the way.

She said to the servant who was approaching, "Take off your socks!"

The servants were trembling with fear and dared not move.

Bai Jiyue stabbed Bai Shoukun on the shoulder with the fatal sword, and Bai Shoukun groaned. Bai Jiyue looked at the servant and asked, "Do you want to take it off?"

The servant looked at Bai Shu with trembling legs. Bai Shu gritted his teeth and waved his hands: "Take it off quickly, don't let the master suffer!"

The servant then took off his shoes except for his socks and threw them over.

There was a sour and stinky smell. Bai Jiyue held her breath, tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of her clothes and tied it around her hands, then grabbed a pair of socks and stuffed them into Bai Shoukun's mouth.

Bai Shoukun "wooooed" angrily, his eyes as big as copper bells.

Bai Jiyue untied the cloth that bound his hands with disdain, and said calmly: "Pain? This kind of pain is much lighter than the pain of losing our father and being abandoned and hurt by our family members."

The feeling of being isolated and helpless was engraved in the original owner's memory. When Bai Jiyue, a later comer, recalled this, he felt the same way and felt hatred.

"Don't forget, if it weren't for my father, you wouldn't be able to come to the capital at all, let alone be an official in the capital and live such a decent and comfortable life."

Bai Jiyue stabbed his other shoulder again, gritting his teeth and saying, "You've forced his wife and children to death before your brother's body is cold. You're such an ungrateful and treacherous person. You deserve nothing less than a stinky sock."

Her sword was endowed with fire. At first Bai Shoukun was making angry "woooooo" sounds, but now he was making painful "woooooo" sounds.

So, after about a meal's time, the servant who went to the posthouse finally came back, bringing a handwritten letter from Bai Jiri.

Bai Jiyue saw that it was indeed his elder brother's handwriting, which said that he had felt much better after taking the antidote. He then kicked Bai Shoukun away and at the same time jumped up onto the wall.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Bai Shu called out, "You haven't given my brother the antidote yet!"

"I don't have the antidote for Bai Xun."

"How is it possible? It's obviously you—"

"What do you mean by me? Which of you saw me poison him? The poison was on his own darts. He himself didn't know where the poison came from, so how would I know? He wanted to plot against me but failed, so he got poisoned. It was me, the one being plotted against, who poisoned him?"

"What should I do?"

"If no one can solve it, just chop it off wherever it needs to be chopped off. Don't waste your life."

"Bai Jiyue!" Bai Shoukun was untied by the whip by the servants and was about to chase after him angrily.

Bai Jiyue concentrated his mind and the whip jumped up again, hitting Bai Shoukun several times, making him jump left and right.

Bai Jiyue sneered, turned around and jumped off the wall, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

She was running. The cool night breeze blew on her face, feeling cool and comfortable. Bai Jiyue also felt very comfortable in her heart.

Unexpectedly, going to the Bai family to get the antidote was smoother than expected. Thinking back on what happened just now, I find it a little unbelievable.

The sword broke through Bai Shouhao's internal force and pierced his palm, controlled dozens of flying feather arrows, snatched the whip from Bai Shoukun's hand and tied him up! Is his ability to control weapons so strong now?

She shook her head vigorously. Impossible!

Before tonight, she could only wield a few weapons, not even capable of this! Not to mention snatching weapons from people with higher cultivation than her!

There was also my own injury. My right shoulder was clearly still hurting at that moment, but suddenly a warm feeling surged through my shoulder and the pain went away!

Her heart moved slightly. Could it be that someone was secretly helping her?

She frowned. Who could be helping her? This person could do so much just through the courtyard wall. Obviously, his cultivation was extremely powerful. Who could this person be? Could it be the governor Cen Changqing?

She thought for a while along the way, and soon returned to the inn and went to Bai Jiri's room first.

Bai Jiri was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book, but his face was filled with anxiety.

Seeing her come in, he was obviously relieved: "I was just worried, wondering whether I should go to the Bai family to pick you up."

Bai Jiyue smiled: "I'm fine. I'm back safe and sound."

She walked to the bed and held Bai Jiri's hand: "Brother, what do you think?"

"After I took the antidote, I feel much better. I should be fine now."

Bai Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Bai family was not up to any tricks.

"Why would the Bai family send someone to deliver the antidote to me? What did you do there?" Bai Jiri asked curiously.

Bai Jiyue told his elder brother in detail about his experience tonight.

Bai Jiri was also surprised after hearing this: "I guess someone helped you. I know your cultivation level, you definitely can't do that."

"I thought so too. On the way, I wondered, could it be the governor?"

Bai Jiri shook his head: "The governor is having a banquet with his colleagues tonight, and he has gone to the banquet. He has not returned yet, so it is impossible for him to know about this."

Bai Jiyue thought about it and it made sense. The prefect didn't come back from the palace banquet, so he went straight to the next dinner party.

"Who could it be? I really can't think of it."

"Sister, do you think this person is the one who secretly helped us in Yanshui Lake and poisoned Bai Xun?" Bai Jiri thought for a while and asked.

"It's possible." Bai Jiyue nodded solemnly. "If this person is the one who poisoned Bai Xun, it means that he has been paying attention to our actions. But why would he pay attention to the two of us? Is there any value in us that we haven't discovered yet?"

Bai Jiri laughed: "We two, the children of criminals, were banished to the Dark Stone Wasteland. What value can we have?"

Bai Jiyue felt that what Bai Jiri said made sense, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it and waved his hand, saying, "Let's just stay the same in the face of change. No one in this world would be kind for no reason. Since this person is helping us so much, there must be a reason. Since we can't think of it, we might as well just wait for him to come to us."

Bai Yiri nodded in agreement.

The topic was over. Bai Jiyue poured a glass of water for his eldest brother and was about to hand it to him when someone knocked on the door of the room.
