Chapter 366: Chapter 365: Wake Up for Me

"It was big brother and I who dragged you out from under that burning beam."

"To save you, big brother even burned his arm, and I fear that to this day, there is still a faintly visible scar."

"Chu Huaiyu was just a little kid back then, did she have the strength to move the beam off you? Fool, go back and think it through for yourself!"

Chu Qianli left.

She truly didn’t have the time to waste on Han Zhan.

She had to hurry to Yuhua Palace and confirm whether Long Ziyue had managed to escape back there or not.

If not, things would become complicated.

Han Zhan watched her retreating figure.

She said it was she and the eldest young master who saved him, yet her demeanor and attitude showed not the slightest sign of seeking credit.

She even disdained such matters, not thinking there was anything remarkable about saving someone.

To her, it clearly wasn’t worth mentioning.

Not like Huaiyu, who initially brought it up again and again, and even though she suddenly stopped later on, once he mentioned it, she would start talking about it incessantly in his ear.

Over and over, making sure he remembered the favor she had done for him.

Chu Qianli and the eldest young master...

Han Zhan turned and looked at the beam that had been moved to the side amidst the ruins.

Indeed, the beam was large and heavy, with a section in the middle that wasn’t burned.

Although ten years had passed, covered with dust, ash, cobwebs, and even grass,

Han Zhan could still make out its vague outline.

So... big, so heavy...

All of a sudden, he slapped his head and began to laugh with sorrowful realization.

Lili called him a fool!

Indeed, he was truly foolish! He was so foolish!

How could a six-year-old girl have possibly moved such a large, heavy beam?

At that time, he was dazed by the smoke, and the fire on the beam was so intense that he nearly lost all consciousness.

In his daze, he had no idea who had saved him.

After he returned and woke up, the first person he saw was Chu Huaiyu.

She sat by his side, watching over him, a small figure that knew to blow on the medicine to cool it down for him to drink.

So, he couldn’t help but blurt out, asking if it was she who had saved him?

Chu Huaiyu seemed stunned at the time, then immediately nodded with a grin.

From then on, he had been convinced that it was Chu Huaiyu who had saved him.

But she was so small, how could she have possibly moved the beam?

Such a fool he was!

He had been foolish to the extreme!

Looking at that piece of beam, Han Zhan’s heart felt as if it too had turned to char just like the wood.

He was really foolish, truly foolish!

Having stood there for who knows how long, Han Zhan finally turned and left the cabin.

As he stepped out, it was as if his entire being had been extracted from the past.

His past seemed to have lost all meaning.

After leaving the cabin, Han Zhan was as if suddenly unable to find the road to the future, not knowing where exactly he was heading.

As he walked, he lost direction.

What place was this?

There was a mound of earth on the ground that did not seem to have been there before; although covered with grass, it looked to be only a few months old?

For some reason, driven by an inexplicable state of mind, he took step after step toward it.

Why did his heartbeat become oddly erratic the closer he got?

What was buried under this mound?

Suddenly, Han Zhan’s heart jolted, what did he see?

At the edge of the mound, a piece of a skirt was sticking out...

Han Zhan’s heart tightened, and abruptly he lifted his hand, slamming it down onto the mound of earth.

...

After leaving the cabin, Chu Qianli immediately rushed back to the Duke Residence.

But as she had covered only half the distance, she was suddenly intercepted by a gust of palm wind.

It wasn’t Chu Huaiyu!

Behind Chu Huaiyu, there indeed was another inscrutable person.

"What is your relationship with Chu Huaiyu?" Chu Qianli drew her short blade and held it protectively in front of herself.

The man in black stared at her coldly, his voice deliberately suppressed, so deep and hoarse that his original voice could not be discerned:

"An insignificant pawn, what sort of relationship could I possibly have with me?"

"If you want to see Long Ziyue, follow me. Miss this night, and tomorrow you will surely see Long Ziyue’s corpse."

With that, he turned and walked away.

This man was definitely not joking!

Chu Qianli, almost without hesitation, followed him quickly, short blade in hand.

But his martial arts were far superior to hers; despite his seemingly slow pace, he had covered a great distance in the blink of an eye.

Following him, not only would she fail to bring Ziyue back, but she might also lose her own life.

Chu Qianli continued to follow briskly and, with some difficulty, finally caught up with the man in black.

Yet, she always remained a certain distance away from him.

Suddenly, her legs gave out, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.

Then she lay there, convulsing.

The man in black stopped and turned to stare at her, his eyes darkening: "Chu Qianli, stop playing tricks in front of me!"

"You... you actually... had Chu Huaiyu... poison me... Uh—"

As Chu Qianli opened her mouth, a gush of fresh blood poured out.

The blood, under the faint moonlight, even had a black sheen to it!

Poisoned?

The man in black’s face changed subtly, and he took a couple of steps back reflexively.

"Chu Qianli, I know you’re full of tricks. Do you believe I would kill you with one strike?"

Of course, Chu Qianli did not believe him. How difficult would it be for him to kill her with his martial arts?

But he didn’t kill her, and instead, he wanted to take her with him. She still couldn’t fathom his intentions now.

There was one thing, however, that she was very clear about in her heart: if she really went with him, her fate would also be completely in his hands.

"Uh..." She continued to tremble on the ground, curling up, her body shaking.

"The antidote... give me the antidote..."

The man in black scowled and snorted coldly: "If you don’t get up now, I will not be polite anymore!"

Still, she did not respond and kept on shaking and vomiting blood.

The man in black furrowed his brow deeply.

Damn it, the blood that came out didn’t look fake.

What’s more, if it weren’t for the actual vomiting of blood, where would all this fresh blood come from?

Finally, the man in black walked over quickly, grabbed her by the arm, and pressed his long fingers to her wrist pulse.

But at that moment, Chu Qianli’s wrist twisted abruptly, and at the same time, she flicked her hand!

The short blade and powder attacked the man in black in an instant.

This was her only chance!

The pupils of the man in black shrank suddenly!

They were too close; he narrowly dodged the short blade, but the powder had already fallen on him.

"Damn it!"

The man in black never dreamed that, with his martial arts, he would still suffer at the hands of this girl.

He pushed out a palm in anger.

Chu Qianli had still underestimated his power, seriously underestimated it!

This man’s power was comparable to Feng Yexuan’s!

Under Prince Yexuan’s grasp, she never had the power to resist.

It was the same with this man in black.

The palm struck her chest, and Chu Qianli immediately spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, her vision darkened, and she passed out completely.

The man in black looked astonished; he... had not intended to kill her, he was truly enraged!

"You damn girl, how are you? You... wake up for me!"
