The moment he felt her pulse, his facial color changed drastically and became completely white. He flung off Tang Doudouâs hand and stood up. âHow could it be this poison!? Howâs that possible? Howâ¦â
His repeated cries of disbelief were enough to show that this poison was going to be a problem.
His voice even became a little flustered.
âSenior Cangâ¦â
âDonât talk!â Cang Baicao stopped Baili Yuâs questions and started pacing around the room anxiously while muttering.
Baili Yu had pinned all of his hope on Cang Baicao, so although he was impatient, he had no choice but to remain silent as to not interrupt Cang Baicaoâs thoughts.
Finally, Cang Baicao stopped and stood in front of Baili Yu. His haggard face was filled with strong helplessness. Baili Yuâs heart dropped. Could it be that even Cang Baicao couldnât do anything about this poison?
âI canât cure this poison!â Cang Baicao took in how Baili Yuâs body trembled from shock when he heard this. After a moment, he continued, âBut thereâs someone that can.â
Hope reappeared in Baili Yuâs eyes.
Cang Baicao said, âBut thereâs not enough time.â
âIsnât there anything that can slow the spread of the poison?â
âThere isnât!â Cang Baicao shook his head firmly. When he saw the despair on Baili Yuâs face, he hesitated, but still said, âBaili gongzi, thereâs something Iâm not sure I should say.â
Baili Yu was currently very flustered and vexed. If Cang Baicao wasnât capable of curing this poison, who would be able to cure it?
Bai Feiyun?
Would he help?
However, if he helped to cure this poison, wasnât that the same as admitting that he had poisoned her? He wasnât dumb enough to do that, so there was no way heâd agree to help.
The more Baili Yu thought about things, the more exasperated he got. However, he couldnât very take his anger out on Cang Baicao, so he just said, âSenior Cang, feel free to say it.â
âEn. Baili gongzi, remember what I said about the child last time?â
âSenior Cang means?â
âThere will be more children, but if this poison remains in her body too long, no one can know for sure what will happen. You understand?â
Pain filled Baili Yuâs eyes. âIsnât there any other way?â
But that was their first child!
Cang Baicao shook his head and continued taking Tang Doudouâs pulse. âThink about it. Youâve suppressed the poison with your inner strength, so you have one dayâs time to consider.â
Baili Yu looked at him, then slowly closed his eyes.
If there were any other ways, even if it required for him to make use of everything including his own life, heâd do it without hesitation to protect the mother and child. However, there was no way, so what could he do? In this moment, he actually felt so helpless. It was the first time he had ever felt helpless.
He walked outside dispiritedly. He really needed time to think about it.
Cang Baicao didnât stop him and allowed him to leave. Once he got far away, Cang Baicaoâs expression suddenly changed and a pill rolled out of his sleeve into his palm. He quickly fed it to Tang Doudou, so quickly that his movements were barely visible. When one looked again, his fingers were still on Tang Doudouâs wrist and his eyes were mostly closed as if he was examining something.
Qing Yin, who was outside, saw this, but it had happened so quickly that she thought she saw wrong. She retrieved her gaze and continued guarding the door quietly.
Azure Water Valley, along with Baili Yu, sank into a deadlock.
Meanwhile, Baili Yiling, who had headed over with the Wind Shadow guards to find Jun Xin, had already arrived in North Hara City. It was already night, so she was exhausted. She talked with the leader of the Wind Shadow guards and had them go look for Jun Xin first. She was going to rest until midnight, then follow the signs that they left.
However, right after she entered the inn, the Wind Shadow guards came back.
âWhy are you guys back here?â
âReplying Eldest Miss, weâve discovered Young Master Junâs tracks!â
When Baili Yiling heard this, she immediately became more alert and hastily asked, âWhere is he right now?â
The guard replied, âAccording to what weâve found, Young Master Jun went to a high ranking officialâs residence, but we didnât find any trace of him inside.â
âMaybe heâs already left?â
âWe didnât see any evidence that he left. He seemed to have disappeared in there.â
âAre there any other information?â
âNo.â
âEn, then you guys can withdraw. Iâll call you if I need anything else.â
âUnderstood!â
The Wind Shadow guards left. Baili Yiling propped up her chin and thought about things for a while, then decided to go and take a look for herself.
She had witnessed the Wind Shadow guardsâ skill at tracking on her way here. If theyâve determined that Jun Xin had disappeared in that residence, then it was definitely true. However, the fact that a large man disappeared so suddenly just like that meant that there was definitely something up with that residence!
