Сhарtеr 13 (13/18)
Shangguan Qiаn smilеd. "Тhе burning аgony in yоur hеart must be unbеarablе, аnd уоu саn't get the mеdicine, can you?"
Yun Wеishаn neithеr cоnfirmеd nоr dеnied it, rеmаining silеnt. Shе knеw Shangguаn Qian was holding bасk somеthing significant.
"I manаged to оbtain somе. I саn shаrе а рortion with уоu."
Yun Weishаn wаs sоmewhаt surprisеd. Тhe memоrу of thе pain madе it difficult for her tо mаintаin cоmposure, аnd shе instinсtivelу rеасhеd оut to tаkе it.
But Shаngguan Qiаn shifted the bаsket in hеr hаnd, dеftly аvоiding Yun Wеishаn's grasp. She sаid calmly, "Don't be in suсh a hurry, sister. Аccоmpаnу me fоr a walk."
With that, Shangguan Qian gracefully walked ahead, carrying the basket, and Yun Weishan had no choice but to follow.
Shangguan Qian asked, "Is he truly his biological son?" She naturally still harbored resentment over the incident with the medical records at the clinic.
Yun Weishan replied, "Yes."
"It seems Gong Shangjue will have a hard time finding any further breakthroughs regarding Gong Ziyu's bloodline and identity."
"If Gong Ziyu successfully passes the Three Trials, his position as Blade Master will be unshakable," Yun Weishan stated.
"On the surface, you cooperated and gave me half of the medical record, but in reality, you secretly allied with WuJi, causing Gong Shangjue to lose face in the Elders Council while also earning Gong Ziyu's favor. Sister, you are truly formidable..." Shangguan Qian's tone was gentle and unhurried, yet it carried a hint of resentment between the lines.
Yun Weishan said, "We each rely on our own abilities."
"Is this what you call relying on our own abilities? Aren't you afraid of implicating me?"
"When you forced me to obtain the medical record to win Gong Shangjue's favor, you didn't consider my situation either."
Shangguan Qian's expression changed, and she let out a cold laugh before suddenly attacking Yun Weishan. Yun Weishan gathered her Inner Force to resist. The two quickly exchanged blows. However, soon, the poison of the Death Oath caused Yun Weishan's meridians to reverse, making her steps unsteady. Once again, her entire body felt as if it were on fire, with sharp pains in her chest and abdomen. Shangguan Qian didn't seem to be faring much better either. Although she tried to endure it on the surface, she couldn't help but clutch her chest before sneering at Yun Weishan.
The two separated and stood still.
Shangguan Qian said, "Your Inner Force is in disarray. The burning of the Half-Month Fly must be unbearable, right?"
Yun Weishan sneered. "My internal cultivation is of the utmost Yin force, which clashes with the burning poison. The discomfort is only due to the disarray of my Inner Force. But you practice a Yang-based cultivation method. You don't even dare to circulate your basic Inner Force, as doing so would only add fuel to the fire. I think you're suffering more than I am, aren't you?"
"But now, the medicinal herbs are in my hands. Either you obey and cooperate with me, or you can wait to be slowly tormented."
Yun Weishan was unimpressed. "These herbs can only temporarily suppress the toxicity. When the half-month period arrives, you must still leave the House of Gong to meet the contact and obtain the antidote. Otherwise, death is inevitable—it's just a matter of sooner or later."
"I will definitely find a way out."
"You don't even believe that yourself, do you? Under Gong Shangjue's watchful eye, it's not easy, is it? You don't even dare to show your tail." Yun Weishan was blunt, directly exposing Shangguan Qian's predicament. In terms of a favorable environment, how could the gloomy Second Master Gong compare to Gong Ziyu? Thinking of this, Yun Weishan felt even more confident, and her brow relaxed slightly.
Shangguan Qian was struck where it hurt most and fell silent.
"Give the items to me, and I will exchange them for the antidote on your behalf. I already have a way to leave the House of Gong."
Shangguan Qian was quite surprised. "What did you say?"
