The bell tolls three times and the gong sounds seven times.
The famous masters took their seats, and the onlookers stepped aside to leave the square trial platform in the middle of the venue empty.
"Everyone has come from afar and must be very tired. The host has specially prepared fine wine and delicious food, as well as the best rooms for you. Before the formal start, please calmly enjoy the music and dance to relieve your worries and fatigue."
As the man's voice ended, ten masked dancers with graceful figures, wearing purple and white skirts, and covered with pink gauze, walked out from the bottom to the top of the trial stage.
After they bowed lightly to everyone, they spun and blossomed on the stage like flowers in full bloom to the music.
She stepped on the stage and overlapped her steps to the drum beats, her gauze skirt fluttering like a wonderful painting.
Everyone was fascinated by the sight, and Lin Ruojin on the second floor couldn't help but get caught up in it...
My heart rate started to quicken and my breathing became more rapid.
Lin Ruojin anxiously tugged at the gauze at her collar and took a few deep breaths of fresh air. The cold air entered her nostrils but dissipated instantly once it entered her lungs.
"Lingshuang, I feel a little hot..."
"Hot? Are you feeling unwell? Have some tea first." Lingshuang pushed over a cup of tea.
The tender green tea leaves were soaked in hot water and lay on the water surface, swaying unsteadily, which made Lin Ruojin feel suffocated.
"I'm going out for a walk and will be back soon." Without waiting for the other party to respond, Lin Ruojin walked down to the second floor holding the railing.
What happened? Why did my legs become weak?
When she walked shakily to the corner of the stairs, a dancer came down from the stage, followed by the dancers behind her.
They were so satisfied with their dancing performance and the audience's admiring looks that even their veils couldn't hide their smiles.
Lin Ruojin couldn't help but smell the warm and rich fragrance on them, and felt that somewhere in her body was getting hotter.
The male monks who passed by her would occasionally glance at the appearance of the woman coming down from the upstairs, but they did not dare to approach her easily.
Although this woman has just started to cultivate her Qi, the dress she wears is not something that an ordinary person from a family can afford.
Sensing those disgusting gazes, she leaned against a pillar and turned sideways to avoid them. But some people didn't understand my gesture and kept following her. Some even came close to her and stared at her in a very bad way.
At this moment, a dancer seemed to notice her condition. She twisted her slender waist, walked over with graceful lotus steps, patted Lin Ruojin and asked: "Girl, what are you doing here?"
"I...didn't do anything. I just wanted to rest..."
Only when they saw someone coming to talk to her did they step back a few steps.
"Rest?" The woman pulled off the veil on her face, revealing a very beautiful face. She suddenly moved her bright red lips close to Lin Ruojin and blew gently.
It actually made Lin Ruojin blush and shrank back.
"Girl, you can't rest here. How dare you walk in this place full of male monks with the smell of Jiaohehuan on your body? What if you are caught by a hungry wolf in a small dark room and eaten alive?"
"who are you?"
"Your life-saving straw!" The woman grabbed Lin Ruojin and went into an empty room. After closing the door, she pushed her onto a chair.
"Let me smell it..." The woman moved close to Lin Ruojin's waist and abdomen, sniffing gently. Before Lin Ruojin could refuse, she pulled open Lin Ruojin's collar and said, "Here, the powder is sprinkled here."
"Drug powder?" Lin Ruojin suddenly sobered up a little. "You mean drug powder? Does it mean someone drugged me?"
"Of course!" The woman wiped her soft and white fingers, "Take the medicine the master gave you. I see that you are already practicing Qi. After taking the medicine, you just need to use Qi to force the powder absorbed by the skin out of your body."
Lin Ruojin suddenly realized that the master this woman was talking about was Zhe Ye.
She quickly took out the Qingxin Pill from the medicine that Ah Jiu gave her from her pocket, swallowed one and began to meditate.
"Luckily you met me. If you were a little later, the powder would have been completely absorbed by your skin and you would have suddenly had an attack in front of everyone..."
After a while, Lin Ruojin felt much more relaxed.
The unbearable heat was dissipated by the airflow in the body, and strength gradually returned.
"What is Jiaohehuan? Is it a powerful aphrodisiac?"
"Well, this medicine was originally exclusive to the Hehuan Sect, and was used to help its disciples absorb yang and replenish yin. Later, it was sold to many, many people of all kinds. The medicinal properties of this powder are extremely strong..." The woman smiled, "Once you are infected, you must have sex with the opposite sex as soon as the attack occurs. For serious cases, it takes several hours to subside. Otherwise, you will bleed from all seven orifices and your five internal organs will burn."
Lin Ruojin took a breath, looked at the Mermaid's Tears still on her body, and silently clenched her fingers.
"Um, do you have a mission here today?"
"I'm here to look for the heartless man who betrayed me in the past~"
"Then have you found it?"
"I found him. He is sitting right below the trial platform. After so many years, he has become something of a man! When he was almost starving to death, he even knelt in front of my door and kowtowed more than ten times just to get a bite of food."
The woman put on her veil again, revealing only a pair of eyes full of sadness and tenderness. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave you here."
"and many more!"
Lin Ruojin stopped her and asked: "Sister, you haven't told me your name yet?"
She shook her head and said, "It's better not to tell the name of the lowly person. You can check who is so vicious and mean. It's hard to guard against someone stabbing you in the back."
At this time, on the second floor,
After hearing the maid's report, Murong Lingshuang was so angry that she crushed the teacup in her hand.
Before, she saw that Lin Ruojin was not in good condition, so she asked her personal maid Chunsui to follow her after she left to prevent any accidents. Unexpectedly, Chunsui accidentally heard that Lin Ruojin was actually poisoned by Jiao Hehuan, and the drug was put on the mermaid's tears.
This was something she personally selected at Wanbao Pavilion, and Brother Shun bought it in exchange for a hundred spirit stones.
It was his gift to Lin Ruojin as an apology!
"You dare to challenge God? Is it because my methods are not strong enough or my reputation is not loud enough?" Murong Lingshuang was rarely angry.
The last time she got angry was when her annoying brother smashed her wine cellar. She was not a good-tempered person, and when she was angry, she was like a ghost. At that time, she chased Murong Luoye and beat him for three days and three nights.
"Miss, I put the clothes in the side room. If someone drugged it, that person must have sneaked in when I came out to take Miss Lin to try on the clothes."
"Did you see anyone suspicious?"
"When I was leaving... it seemed that a maid who was taller than me and wearing pink and white clothes passed by me. She was thin and smelled like soapberry powder."
"Maid? Are you sure?"
"There weren't many people passing by our box. I only saw her during that time, so she left a deep impression on me."
After listening to Chunsui's words, Murong Lingshuang stood up and was about to go find Baili Shun to talk, when she ran into Lin Ruojin who had returned.
"Ruojin!" Murong Lingshuang stepped forward and held her hand. "Are you okay? Don't misunderstand me and Brother Shun. We didn't..."
"I'm fine. I just took some medicine and I feel much better. I just heard the person you were talking about. I think I know who it is."
"Really? Tell me, I will help you get revenge!"
When she catches that bitch, she'll skin her alive!
How dare you use such despicable means to harm the girl's innocence!
It's so despicable! Shameless!
"We'll wait for a while..." Lin Ruojin moved closer to Murong Lingshuang and told her plan one by one.
Luoyue, who was behind the crowd, saw Lin Ruojin holding his head and staggering away from his seat again. She exclaimed in surprise.
That’s not right. Why did it take so long to break out?
So wasn't it because of Jiao Hehuan that she went out just now?
All the speculations ended when Lin Ruojin's figure walked into a remote empty room and disappeared in an instant.
"I told you, it looks like he can't stand the effect of the drug and is about to hide in the house~" Luoyue looked at Murong and her maid on the second floor. They didn't seem to notice anything and were still looking at the trial platform downstairs with great interest.
Although it was not what she had originally planned, which made her a little disappointed, but if she changed her approach, she could kill two birds with one stone.
Lifting her skirt, Luoyue quickly walked through the crowded crowd of onlookers and followed the direction of Lin Ruojin.
