Upon seeing Jing Xunchè's true face, Bai Lin was completely stunned. She also stopped her actions. Without further ado, Jing Xunchè seized Bai Lin.
Bai Lin never expected Jing Xunchè to be such a handsome and heroic man. In all her years, she had never seen anyone as charming and manly as him.
Even when captured, Bai Lin didn't feel aggrieved. Such a man was truly hard to come by.
"Are you Bei Moxuě's man?" Bai Lin lifted her chin proudly and asked.
This man was so handsome that he must be the one Bei Moxuě was in love with. No wonder the celestial beauty Bei Moxuě had fallen for him. Even Bai Lin found herself quite taken with him.
Jing Xunchè didn't want to waste any more words on Bai Lin. He knocked her out and took her back to Tianlin. At first, Mu Fengqié couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw Jing Xunchè bringing Bai Lin back.
A Ru was also amused by Jing Xunchè's actions, but she highly approved of what he had done.
"Brother - in - law, did you catch the wrong person? This woman isn't Bei Moxuě. Why did you bring her back?" A Ru said while laughing.
"This woman is Bai Lin, the one who poisoned me," Mu Fengqié explained calmly.
Hearing this, A Ru, who had been laughing just now, suddenly grew serious. She picked up the tea on the table and splashed it on Bai Lin's face. Bai Lin was startled awake by the water and began to cough lightly.
"Where am I? Where have you taken me?" Bai Lin asked in panic.
She looked around and found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment. There were people she had never seen before, and she even saw Mu Fengqié, who should have been in the underworld. The only thing she was sure of was that she was no longer in Beiming.
"Is it you who poisoned my sister? Do you know who my sister is? I advise you to hand over the antidote right away, or you'll experience the seventy - two tortures of Tianlin!" A Ru said with a sneer.
Tianlin? So she was in Tianlin now! Damn Bei Moxuě! She had really gotten her into trouble!
Now that she had fallen into Jing Xunchè's hands, and since his martial arts were far superior to hers, she knew she had no chance of escape.
"Killing me won't do you any good, because there is no antidote. Not even the great celestial could save her," Bai Lin said and then turned her head away.
A Ru couldn't believe her ears. In anger, she slapped Bai Lin across the face. Bai Lin's fair face instantly showed the marks of five fingers.
Bai Lin glared at A Ru fiercely. "How dare you hit me!"
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Lin had never been slapped. Now she had an urge to kill A Ru, and A Ru felt the same way.
"So what if I hit you? Do you think we're three - year - olds? No antidote? Who are you kidding? If you don't hand over the antidote, do you think I won't kill you?"
A Ru was so angry that she wished she could kill this vicious woman right away. Just like Bei Moxuě, she was of the same ilk!
Bai Lin wouldn't hand over the antidote easily. If she did, and Bei Moxuě sent someone to rescue her, wouldn't she be considered ungrateful?
"Do whatever you want. Xiaoxuě will definitely come to rescue me. You won't kill me because if you do, she won't survive either," Bai Lin said with a slight curl of her lips.
A Ru was so angry that her teeth were grinding. "You're being too naive. Are you really Bei Moxuě's friend? Do you really think she'll come to rescue you? We won't kill you, but you won't have an easy time! Guards! Take this woman to the dungeon and let her experience the seventy - two tortures!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuchs dragged Bai Lin away. Everyone was shocked by A Ru's reaction, especially Yuan Yuhan. She always thought A Ru was just an innocent and cute little girl, but now she saw a more experienced side of her.
"I don't know if what she said is true or not. Sister, don't worry. I'll even dig out the whereabouts of the antidote from her mouth if I have to!"
Mu Fengqié shook her head dejectedly. "Don't waste your efforts. Once someone takes Paraquat, there's no way to save them..."
She remembered the poor patients she had met when researching Paraquat in her previous life. She never thought that one day she would end up like them. Was she really going to die here?
Jing Xunchè stepped forward and hugged Mu Fengqié, saying tenderly, "Qiér, you'll be fine. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you!"
...
Bai Lin was taken to the dungeon. She couldn't bear it after only two tortures. When A Ru heard the news, she rushed to the dungeon immediately.
"So? Have you changed your mind?"
"I'll tell you... the antidote is in the drawer of the room," Bai Lin said with a pale face.
She had long heard that the seventy - two tortures of Tianlin were extraordinary. After experiencing them today, she found them indeed so. She guessed that no one in the world could endure all seventy - two punishments.
Hearing this, A Ru happily ran out. Finally, she had gotten the information. This meant her sister would be out of danger.
Without hesitation, Jing Xunchè went to the Beiming Palace again and successfully found the bottle of antidote. Mu Fengqié was quite surprised. She had studied Paraquat for so long, but Bai Lin had actually developed an antidote.
Not only Mu Fengqié, but there were also many experts researching Paraquat, yet Bai Lin had managed to develop an antidote. This showed that Bai Lin was a rare talent in this field.
Mu Fengqié didn't care about anything else and drank the antidote. Immediately, she felt the burning sensation in her stomach disappear. It was indeed the antidote for Paraquat!
Mu Fengqié was as excited as a child, dancing with joy. She must study the ingredients of this antidote carefully. With this antidote, countless people would be able to survive.
Seeing this, A Ru also showed a smile. "Sister is finally okay. Now what we need to do is teach Bei Moxuě a lesson. We mustn't let that bitch off!"
"Don't be too hasty about this. Anyway, we have to teach Beiming a lesson. We have to make the Beiming Emperor willingly send Bei Moxuě to Tianlin," Mu Fengqié said with narrowed eyes.
The group gathered together to celebrate Mu Fengqié's recovery. Everyone's face showed a happy smile. They had experienced many hardships and life - and - death situations together, so they cherished the time they spent with each other even more.
Suddenly, Yin Feng rushed in in a hurry. He knelt in front of everyone and said, "Master, there's news from the Southern Qing State. Should your subordinate continue the investigation, or would you like to go and see for yourself?"
Hearing this, Mu Fengqié looked at Jing Xunchè with a suspicious look. She knew who Yin Feng was, but when had Jing Xunchè sent someone to investigate the Southern Qing? Hadn't the Southern Qing already signed a contract with the Qin Dynasty?
