Chapter 770: Chapter 769 Who Can Trust Whom?

Chu Qianli didn’t speak, and Feng Jinrui got angry.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her aside.

"You better tell me, did you really poison my Loyal Brother?"

"Jinrui..."

"My Loyal Brother has been so good to you, and you still wanted to hurt him? You’ve gone too far!"

The anger in Feng Jinrui’s eyes flared, as if all of a sudden, it was getting out of control.

Chu Qianli met his gaze, her eyes flickering slightly.

Feng Jinrui closed his eyes, then looked at her again, still furious, "Explain yourself, now!"

"Jinrui, listen to me, I didn’t mean to..."

"You really did something to my Loyal Brother? He’s been unconscious since last night, is it because of the poison you administered?"

Feng Jinrui was so angry that his whole body tensed up, it was clear he was seething with rage.

Chu Qianli felt pain where he was gripping her, she glared hard at him, but her tone was soft, "I really didn’t do it, believe me."

"How can I believe you..."

"Ouch, let go already, everyone’s gone!" Chu Qianli kicked at him.

Feng Jinrui turned his head to look and indeed, Hongchou had already broken free of her acupoint and left.

The acupoint he had pressed was not a critical one; with Hongchou’s skills, breaking free wouldn’t be very difficult.

Chu Qianli shook her hand vigorously, and seeing this, Feng Jinrui immediately let go.

"Did it really hurt? I didn’t mean to." How was he to know that a lady’s wrist was so fragile?

It was just a casual pinch, but now it seemed to have actually reddened a patch of skin.

Chu Qianli rubbed her sore wrist and gave him a look, "Considering your improved acting skills, I won’t hold it against you. She had a scent on her, I could smell it. Let’s go, quickly, we must pursue!"

Because she had seen through Hongchou, no matter how she was threatened or tempted, she would never reveal Ye Qingying’s hiding place.

That’s why Chu Qianli thought of this method; while pretending to choke her, she had sprinkled some powdered medicine on her.

The scent of the medicine was faint—invisible to the average person, and Feng Jinrui couldn’t smell it either.

Only by letting Hongchou lead the way would they possibly find the master; otherwise, there was no way she could save her master.

Chu Qianli walked ahead with Feng Jinrui following behind her.

Although it was all an act earlier, there was still a sense of unease.

"Enchantress, I know you have forgotten my Loyal Brother, but he truly cares for you. He would give his life for you," he said.

Chu Qianli didn’t respond, so he continued, "I also know that you care a lot about your master now, but you can’t hurt my Loyal Brother for your master’s sake. It would drive him to despair."

"When did I ever hurt your Loyal Brother?" Chu Qianli turned around, giving him a look.

Feng Jinrui said with some reluctance, "Then why did you take Yu Linglong’s medicine?"

"Just having it on hand gives me another option, another possibility. Although she doesn’t trust me, it might come in handy someday..."

After all, having it was just that, having it. She had the Universe Chain; with such a vast space, anything could be stored.

Why not take it? There was no loss.

"Don’t ask anymore, hurry up and catch up. Let’s find the master first, and then we can talk."

"But I can’t smell anything... Are you sure she went this way?" Shouldn’t we chase faster?

If they chase too leisurely and she gets away, what would they do?

"We can’t chase too closely; she is very guarded, and chasing too eagerly would likely tip her off."

Yu Linglong doesn’t trust her, but in reality, who can trust anyone?

Hongchou said she liked Ye Qingying, but Chu Qianli couldn’t be careless. Who knows, for her own gain, would she hurt the master in the end?

Even if she did have some fondness, it didn’t necessarily mean she would betray Yu Linglong for the master’s sake.

No one, can trust anyone.

This Hongchou, she could not trust; to save her master, she could only rely on herself.

"Slow down, I feel like she’s stopped!"
