Oh, crap!!!
Had something gone wrong? Had the Invisibility Cloak fallen into Qing Qianxue's hands?
Would he discover what the cloak could do, decide it was far too supernatural, and lock me in a dark little room to exploit me? Or would he report me to his old flame, Chu Wenzong, so Chu Wenzong could burn me as a monster in a sacrifice to heaven?
Jiang Yourning shot to her feet.
No!
She couldn't just sit and wait for death. She had to see for herself what Qing Qianxue's attitude was.
If he knew what was good for him, everything could be discussed.
If he didn't, she would fight him to the death.
After all, however she counted it, she had two lives, while he had only half a life left. How could he possibly beat her?
"Miss, what... what are you planning to do?"
Seeing the look of someone prepared to face death on her young mistress's face, Chun Tao's little heart began pounding uncontrollably.
"Nothing."
Jiang Yourning turned and suddenly gave her another kindly smile. A small pill appeared in her hand.
"Little Tao-Tao, open wide. I've got a candy for you."
"Okay."
Chun Tao obediently opened her mouth.
The instant she swallowed the pill, she fell asleep on the little couch again.
"Sleep a little longer, sweetheart~"
This was a knockout drug newly stocked in the shop. It worked much better than that one-second sleep pill and could keep someone asleep for several hours.
After thoughtfully tucking Chun Tao in, Jiang Yourning found an inconspicuous spot, climbed over the wall, and slipped out.
Then she headed straight for the National Preceptor's Residence.
After strolling along for a while, she simply hired a carriage and had it take her to the gates of the National Preceptor's Residence.
