Chapter 1633
1633 Open and Fair 1
Upon finishing speaking, Lingyun took out a black bottle and ate the pill inside. Then she took out another bottle and passed it to Gu Chaoyan. “This is the ice worm controlling the poison inside my body. If I ever betray you in the future, you can kill the ice worm. At that time I will definitely die too!”
Gu Chaoyan did not accept it directly, but looked at Lingyun in utter surprise.
Lingyun was kind and gentle, so she had not expected that Lingyun would be so extreme in dealing with this matter.
She told her that she would work for her after she took her revenge. She trusted her word, so she had not expected that she would show her loyalty by eating a poison!
“Is there any antidote for that?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
!!
“No.” Lingyun shook her head.
Wuxing asked her to make a drug like that, but many things happened and she did not give it to Wuxing.
She had not expected that it would one day work on herself.
Also, she was using it without feeling any regrets.
Gu Chaoyan frowned slightly. She was very worried about Lingyun.
Lingyun had no antidote for the poison. And she had no way out to deal with this thing. So she had to put away the bottle.
She said to Lingyun gently, “I asked you to serve me for five years, because that is the payment I wanted to get from you. I don’t have strict rules for you if you work with me. You don’t have to assume that you are betraying me whenever you do something. You can leave if you want to.”
“…”
“You must be tired. You can go and have a rest,” Gu Chaoyan said to Lingyun.
This small speech made Lingyun admire Gu Chaoyan even more, and that admiration made her feel that she was never going to feel regretful for what she did.
Then she nodded and left.
She was very tired.
Within such a short time, she had learned so much of the truth. She had gone through all the experiences she had in the past few years. That made her feel quite distressed.
After Lingyun left… Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One to bury the maid so that she could leave the world in a more proper way.
Then… she decided to visit Lord Huai’s Mansion with Sword One to speak to him about the monsters.
Many layers of the imperial army were guarding Lord Huai’s Mansion. After the King’s order reached the mansion, Lord Huai was only allowed to stay inside the mansion, and was not allowed to go anywhere else.
That showed the ruthlessness of the imperial family.
If not for his special abilities, he would have been crushed to bone dust in the court.
That day was the first time that Gu Chaoyan came to see him since he was grounded, but she was stopped by the imperial army the moment she approached.
Gu Chaoyan had never met the chief who guarded the mansion.
She did not know him, but apparently, he knew who Gu Chaoyan was, thus being quite anxious.
He had thought that it was a nice mission to guard Lord Huai’s Mansion, but the Phoenix Girl ignored the King’s order and came to the door.
The King’s order was that no one was allowed to go into the mansion, but she was the Phoenix Girl… should he allow her?
“I am here to see Lord Huai. Let me in.”
