I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Shen Sixi remained silent for a long time.

She hadn't thought about giving Xiaohua a medical check-up before.

However, since Elder Huang had reminded her, she would naturally protect Xiaohua.

Shen Sixi then asked Old Huang about the manner of the two men's deaths, and Old Huang described it to her in detail.

Those two people died in an extremely gruesome way.

Having seen countless dead people, Old Huang was genuinely shocked at the time.

The people of the Temple of Angels are truly ruthless.

Even the Lord of the Temple of Angels had the same poison. Old Huang suspected that they only had medicine to alleviate the symptoms, not to cure the disease.

Old Huang said all this not only to remind Shen Sixi to treat Xiaohua, but also to intimidate her and make her understand the ruthlessness of the Angel Palace.

Unexpectedly, Shen Sixi was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she became even more interested.

Shen Sixi: "This poison is quite interesting."

Shen Sixi was eager to try: "I have an idea. We can develop a new medicine targeting this poison. It will be both an antidote and a new poison. Let's give this medicine to the Lord of the Angel Temple and subdue him first!"

Old Huang didn't expect that his words would not only fail to frighten Shen Sixi, but would also provide her with ideas. Shen Sixi immediately adopted the method of controlling the assassins from the Angel Temple.

This was the first time Old Huang had ever encountered someone so daring.

Old Huang changed the subject and started promoting his garden to her again: "You haven't seen all of my garden yet, would you like to take another look? I recently transplanted a Tripterygium wilfordii, I'll take you to see it?"

“Thunder Vine can be used.” Shen Sixi nodded calmly.

Huang Lao: ...

Old Huang: "Do you think the Lord of the Angelic Temple is a fool, someone a little girl like you can get close to? Even if you did get close, how would you drug him? He has more than twenty bodyguards around him. The time he came to see me for treatment, he even brought two doctors with him!"

When the topic of the Temple Master of the Angel Temple bringing a doctor to see him came up, Old Huang became displeased again.

Shen Sixi didn't care at all: "Don't worry about that, I have my own way. Just follow my instructions."

Old Huang couldn't help but sneer, "Such arrogance! You really are—"

"Stop talking nonsense," Shen Sixi interrupted impatiently. "Let's go see your thunder vine."

As Shen Sixi spoke, she got up and left first.

Old Huang was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only stomp his feet at her retreating figure.

He stood there, seething with impotent rage: "That's not the way!"

"Oh." Shen Sixi stopped.

She beckoned to him: "Lead the way."

Old Huang realized that although Shen Sixi refused to take his garden, it seemed to already belong to her.

Shen Sixi first went to see Huang Lao's thunder vine, and after that, she strolled around the garden at will.

Based solely on Huang Lao's verbal description, Shen Sixi was not confident in creating a targeted antidote.

Shen Sixi wanted to wait for Xiao Hua to find someone to come back so she could examine him before figuring out how to develop the necessary medicine.

Old Huang was still muttering, "Besides, you might not even be able to make the antidote. If the antidote were that easy to obtain, the Lord of the Angel Temple would have been free of poison long ago!"

Old Huang: "That poison is far more potent than my Half-Moon Poison!"

Shen Sixi said without turning her head, "Don't worry about whether I can make the antidote or not, just help me out when the time comes."

Old Huang's eyes widened: "Me, your assistant? Me?"

When has Old Huang ever worked as someone's assistant? It's more like he's the one being the assistant.

He wouldn't even look down on someone who offered to help him out!

Shen Sixi: "You promised to help me obtain the Temple of Angels."

Old Huang wanted to say that he hadn't agreed.

But thinking about how he felt the moment Xiao Qi regained his sight—

Oh well, he's the one who owes him a favor.

He had long been fed up with the trash in the Temple of Angels.

Old Huang sighed heavily, but in the end he did not refuse again.

……

Xiao Hua returned much later, bringing Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chao Di with her.

Although neither of them was injured, they looked extremely disheveled.

Shen Tu Rong, who always loved cleanliness and beauty, now had red and swollen eyes and messy hair.

When Shen Tu Rong saw Shen Sixi, she started crying again: "Sister Xi, the person in charge of the spice garden kidnapped us! He locked us in a small wooden cabin!"

Shen Sixi frowned and looked Shen Tu Rong up and down: "What did they do to you?"

Shen Sixi then looked at Yu Chaodi, who shook her head at Shen Sixi and forced a smile, indicating that Shen Sixi did not need to worry about her.

Shen Tu Rong: "Before we could do anything, Xiao Hua rescued us."

Shen Sixi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, don't worry, I'll avenge you."

Shen Tu Rong: "Waaaaah, Sister Xi, I knew you were the best to me."

Yu Chaodi: "Thank you, sister."

Shen Sixi: "Alright, you guys go and get ready first, then follow Elder Huang."

Huang Lao: ?

Old Huang wanted to ask when he had become her subordinate. He hadn't even bothered when they entered the herb garden without his permission, and now he was being ordered to help them tidy up their appearance?

Old Huang snorted coldly and said curtly, "Come with me."

Having experienced what had happened before, Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chao Di were both a little afraid of this strange, unfamiliar old man.

The old man didn't seem very willing to lead the way for the two of them.

On second thought, these were people Shen Sixi trusted, and Shen Sixi would definitely not harm them.

The two silently followed Old Huang away.

After Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chao Di had walked away, Shen Sixi asked Xiao Hua, "Was their kidnapping related to the Temple of Angels?"

Xiaohua nodded, her face pale.

"It's them again!" Shen Sixi exclaimed angrily.

Even the Temple of Angels targeting her wouldn't have made her this angry, since she has the ability to protect herself.

Yu Chaodi and Shen Tu Rong were just two ordinary girls who couldn't even kill a chicken. What kind of skill was it for them to bully them?

Shen Sixi said to Xiaohua, "I won't let this go. I'm going to take over the Angel Palace."

Xiao Hua was taken aback for a moment, but unlike Old Huang, she didn't make a big fuss and stop her from doing so.

He hesitated and said, "It might be difficult—what can I do?"

Xiao Hua seemed willing to do anything for Shen Sixi, even go through fire and water.

Shen Sixi nodded in satisfaction and said to him, "Give me your hand."

Xiaohua, not understanding why, reached out her hand.

Shen Sixi probed Xiao Hua's wrist, her expression gradually becoming serious.

Just as Old Huang had said, Xiao Hua also had a secret poison in her body.

Shen Sixi withdrew her hand, and Xiaohua also lowered her hand in confusion.

Shen Sixi remained silent, and Xiao Hua did not disturb her.

Xiao Hua isn't a particularly curious person; he won't ask unless Shen Sixi brings it up first.

That was the teaching the Temple of Angels had given him: not to have unnecessary curiosity.

Although he had left the Temple of Angels, it was difficult for him to change his habits of more than ten years.

After a while, Shen Sixi had a clue how to make an antidote, and then he remembered that he should tell Xiaohua about his poisoning.

The assassins from the Angel Temple were unaware that they had been poisoned; it's unknown whether Xiao Hua was also unaware.

"Little Flower, do you know that you have been carrying His Highness the Angel's poison?"
