Senior Sister, I'm Begging You, Don't Look Back, I Really Am Your Senior Brother!

What! Sunfall Pill!?

That bastard Ye Tian went so far as to feed me this kind of pill just to frame Lin Heng?!

Beast!

Yun Yao had never imagined that the junior brother who had kept her company day and night for years would treat her like this.

Thinking of Ye Tian's former appearance as a modest gentleman, she could not help feeling a chill in her heart.

If this was truly the case, Ye Tian had not only deceived the five of them, his Senior Sisters, he had even deceived Master.

Yun Yao panicked. She did not want to give herself away for nothing, much less let Ye Tian, that beast, have his way!

She could feel the medicinal force of the pill had already begun dissolving. It would not be long before her reason was completely lost.

Wait! There seemed to be one step missing in the middle!

?

What step!?

Lin Heng continued muttering to himself inwardly.

Ye Tian had asked me to settle Yun Yao properly, then transmit a signal to him through the Identity Token... in other words, he has no idea where I am right now.

Now Yun Yao has already taken the medicine... if I transmit the signal and let Ye Tian come over, when the time comes, he'll definitely seize on the excuse and frame me for drugging Yun Yao.

Lin Heng suddenly realized that there were not only two choices.

The foundation of the first two choices was both built on sending Ye Tian the location signal.

What if he did not send the location?

Yun Yao had taken the pill and had to rely on a man to detoxify it. There was only one man in this room, him. Did that not mean...

Lin Heng fell into hesitation. If he left Yun Yao alone, the Spring Poison would very likely injure her Dao foundation, and in serious cases might even endanger her life.

If Ye Tian got the benefit, her future fate might truly be inseparable from the Flower Pavilion.

It was not that his sympathy was overflowing. The main thing was that he did not want Ye Tian to break one of his legs!

Senior Sister, there's no other way. For my own sake, and also to change your future fate, you can't blame me!

Yun Yao's consciousness had already grown hazy, and she could roughly guess what he was going to do, yet there was no resistance in her heart.

Compared to Ye Tian, that beast, she would rather give it to Lin Heng.

Though Lin Heng was a bit chuunibyou, at least he made her feel much more interested. Her favorable impression of him was much higher than for ordinary men.

The medicinal force spread slightly, and together with the remaining effect of the previous Joyful Powder, it quickly took effect.

She only felt the world before her eyes turn blank. Her body was like it had fallen into magma, filled with a scorching, fiery sensation.

Soon after, a soft voice came by her ear.

"Senior Sister, rest at ease for now. I still have something to go out and handle. It won't be long before Senior Brother Ye comes over."

What else... are you doing...

The sound of footsteps gradually faded, followed immediately by the sound of the door closing.

Lin Heng stood outside the door and let out a long breath, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

"Whether this succeeds or fails depends on today. Ye Tian, weren't you planning to use my hand to take Senior Sister Yun Yao down!"

"Unfortunately, this forcibly ripened fruit can only be plucked by me!"

Lin Heng's gaze was exceptionally firm. If he ate this mouthful of meat well, he would be able to feast on wine and meat in the future. Even if he did not eat it well, it would not implicate him.

Roughly twenty minutes passed.

Only then did Lin Heng slowly push the door and enter.

He wore a black mask on his head and had specially changed his outfit.

He had to admit, this was actually rather exciting.

At this moment, the scene in the room was already so fragrant and alluring that language could not describe it. The large swaths of scattered white dress were enough to prove what torment Senior Sister was suffering right now.

Lin Heng reached out and touched her head, discovering that she was burning fiercely.

"She's already lost consciousness!?"

"Tsk, tsk!"

"Come on, Senior Sister, lie properly!"

Wait! This was?

For the following stretch of time, urgent and tightly packed sounds continuously came from within the room.

Only after quite a long while did Lin Heng feel that his body had recovered a great deal of color.

This antidote came quickly and left quickly as well.

Yun Yao's consciousness also gradually gained a trace of clarity from the blankness. Her involuntary movements showed that there was still a trace of conflict in her heart.

The sound of breathing.

The drip-drop of rain.

The sound of wind rising outside the window.

They formed the whole scene.

Ye Tian!?

Why!

Yun Yao's eyes, buried in the cushion pillow, became somewhat hollow. Right now, she could not lift her head, nor could she turn around.

Her eyes were somewhat wet. She thought that Lin Heng had ultimately still failed to muster the courage and had called Ye Tian over.

Another full two hours passed.

The orderly flow of air had its balance broken. The former seemed to have recovered slightly, and actually slowly raised her neck.

Lin Heng was so frightened he hardly dared move, silently praying in his heart:

Senior Sister, I'm begging you, don't look back, I really am Senior Brother!

That lonely sentence made the former tremble slightly.

She turned her head back with difficulty, only to see a disguised face.

The clumsy deception appeared incomparably pale at this moment.

Upon learning that the person behind her was not Ye Tian, but instead Lin Heng, she actually let out a breath of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Perhaps because of the medicinal force, it even caused a trace of sickly secret delight to sprout in her.

But at the same time, it also produced a trace of loathing in her heart.

Bastard! Why did you have to make such a flowery operation out of this? If you had openly and properly detoxified me, I wouldn't have killed you!

Even if you were afraid of being exposed, afraid I would make a move and kill someone, you still shouldn't have worn a mask to impersonate someone else! Bastard, you really are a bastard. Just see how I deal with you after this is over!!

If she had the strength, she would absolutely have turned her head and slapped him to death.

Phew! Time to get ready to slip away. Once she completely wakes up, I'll be finished!

After finishing things, I'll go back to the Flower Pavilion first to check on Little Demoness, then go to the Money House to open Mystery Boxes!

At the same time, on the other side.

After Ye Tian had overturned the City Lord's Mansion, he had been continuously sending contact signals to Yun Yao and Lin Heng, yet he never received a response.

"How did this happen? Could the two of them have run into some trouble?"

"Or did they already leave Golden Horse City? Otherwise, how could there be no news?"

"Could it be that he didn't give Yun Yao the pill..."

The Identity Token could transmit messages only within ten li. If they had left Golden Horse City ahead of time, then it was very possible he would not receive any news.

Of course, there was also the possibility that they were deliberately not replying.

Based on Ye Tian's understanding of Lin Heng, he had neither reason nor courage to do anything to Yun Yao.

If he dared harbor wicked intentions, Yun Yao would certainly activate the Identity Token and ask him for help.

After thinking it over, Ye Tian carried the bundle containing Sun Yinan's head and planned to return to the sect first to report on the mission.

Phew! This tired me to death. Being an antidote really isn't easy, and I even had to stay on tenterhooks, paying attention to her condition at every moment.

She probably won't discover it was me, right...

Lin Heng pulled up his pants and ran, but his heart gradually lost confidence.

How did that saying go?

Put a hood over the head, and no one loves anyone.

Tug with both hands, and life or death is hard to withstand.

In front of others, meek and submissive; behind them, striking hard from the top.

Along the way.

Patrol Officers dressed in the official uniforms of the Justice Bureau continuously came and went. The destruction of the City Lord's Mansion had already spread throughout all of Golden Horse City.

From the great clans and noble families above to the common people below, all were shocked without exception.

The only beneficiary of this great reshuffling was the Justice Bureau. Comparatively speaking, in order to calm the unrest, the Bureau Chief appeared much more methodical.

On the streets, most of the shops related to the City Lord's Mansion had closed. Even so, voices of discussion still rose from all around.

Some clapped their hands and cheered, while others worried in secret.

The interest groups they represented were different, so naturally their thoughts were different.

Lin Heng returned to the Flower Pavilion and discovered that the room where Little Demoness had been imprisoned was already empty.

Only the Lock Rope that had been snapped apart was left on the bed, as well as a sheet of xuan paper written on in blood ink.

The rough content was telling Lin Heng to wash his neck clean and wait for the blade.

Just as Lin Heng paid it no mind and tossed the xuan paper aside.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out with a ding.
