Chapter 756: Chapter 758 Brothers Meet Without Recognizing Each Other (Part 7)
It was as if countless riches and beautiful women were hurling themselves at him, and Yun Qi burst out laughing. Yet, at that moment, a voice full of smiles came from behind.
“No need, I’ll walk by myself.”
“Haha, that’s great!” Yun Qi laughed twice, caught off guard for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his laughter caught in his throat…
Unable to believe it, Yun Qi turned his head, and after seeing the woman behind the carriage, who was brimming with laughter, with a whoosh, his face turned pale, and he pointed at her, unable to speak.
“You… you—you—you…”
“Master Yun Qi, why have you become inarticulate?” Zi Shao asked, looking at him with a smile. “I’m fine, are you very surprised?”
“Why… why?”
Yun Qi started to tremble. He had clearly made this woman drink that tea; why was she perfectly fine?
“Yun Qi, do you know who my sister-in-law is?” Zi Shao asked, her eyebrows raised and a teasing smile on her face.
Yun Qi shook his head, replying honestly, “I don’t know.”
Slowly, Zi Shao stood up from the carriage and looked at Yun Qi with a smile in her eyes, “My sister-in-law is a powerful Alchemy Master. Do you think with such a sister-in-law, a mere sedative could take me down? Long ago, she had me take an Elixir, which has since made me immune to all poisons. So, that little sedative had no effect on me at all! I was just pretending to fall for your scheme. Otherwise, how could you have brought me here?”
As she spoke, Zi Shao glanced over Yun Qi’s pale face, the smile in her eyes deepening. “However, your Yun Family is really vigilant, hiding people here. Jingjing and I searched for several days and couldn’t find it; hence, I had no choice but to devise this plan.”
At that moment, Yun Qi’s heart trembled fiercely. At such a time, he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly away quickly from this place…
But, that was just wishful thinking…
“Zi Shao, this time I’ve indeed fallen into your hands!” Yun Qi gritted his teeth with hatred, his gaze darkening as he looked at Zi Shao.
He had never expected to fall into this damned woman’s trap!
Whoosh!
A sword was placed against Yun Qi’s neck, and Zi Shao slightly curled her lips, “Yun Qi, you didn’t fall into my hands, but into your own. Remember this saying, ‘As men do, heaven watches; commit enough evil and you’ll meet ghosts in the dead of night!'”
“Hmph!” Yun Qi snorted coldly, “Wealth, power, aren’t these what people pursue? What have I done wrong? I was just more in tune with my desires. In East Island, it’s survival of the fittest; our strength allows us to bully the weak. If anyone is to blame, it’s those who are too weak. Your apprentice did have some skills. We wanted to capture her from the start but she managed to escape. In the end, it took a bit of cunning to capture her. As for you, Zi Shao, you were specifically requested by that person. Even if you escape now, how would that matter? That person will eventually capture you! Actually, you should feel honored that your Soul could be sacrificed to that person!”
After saying this, he simply closed his eyes and said no more…
“That person?” Zi Shao furrowed her brows, then relaxed them. “The person you speak of, I will settle this account with him sooner or later. Want to capture Zi Shao? If he has the ability, he should come himself. I am always ready to welcome his arrival. Unfortunately…”
