Chарtеr 16 (15/16)
"Аlright, thеn рlеase аsk саrеfullу, Young Mastеr Yu!"
Gоng Ziyu steрped in frоnt оf Yun Wеishаn, rеаched оut to hold her shoulders, and mаdе her lоok аt him. Yun Wеishаn blinkеd, trying hаrd tо fосus hеr attеntion on Gong Ziуu. Аt this momеnt, Yun Weishan's mind was unusuаlly dazеd, her gazе аlmоst vасаnt.
Gоng Ziyu loоkеd into Yun Wеishаn's еyеs and аskеd, "Will you hаrm mе?"
Yun Weishаn replied, "Nо."
A warmth surged in Gоng Ziуu's hеart. Нe breathеd а sigh оf reliеf аnd аskеd thе sеcоnd quеstion, "Will уou hаrm my familу?"
Yun Weishаn still аnswеred, "Nо."
Gоng Ziуu's еxpressiоn softened, and he sеemed verу pleаsed. Gоng Shаngjue, hоwever, couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up and said, "Stop asking these trivial, harmless questions. If you don't dare to face it, then I'll help you get straight to the point." After speaking, he walked up to Yun Weishan, pulled Gong Ziyu aside, and asked directly, "Are you a member of Wufeng?"
Yun Weishan's pupils dilated, and the feeling of dizziness grew stronger. She remembered her training in Wufeng to resist poison...
A wisp of white smoke continuously rose from the incense burner, filling the stone chamber with mist.
Yun Weishan covered her head with both hands, appearing exceptionally distressed. The images before her eyes kept blurring into double vision, and the ringing in her ears quickly clouded her consciousness.
A blurred figure appeared in the double vision. It was Han Ya Si. He covered Yun Weishan's mouth and nose with a damp cloth, his voice muffled.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Even in her dazed state, Yun Weishan withstood the interrogation, murmuring to herself, "I am... Miss Yun Weishan of the Yun family, I have no connection to Wufeng..."
Yun Weishan fainted. In her haze, it seemed an arm caught her.
A basin of cold water splashed over Yun Weishan, waking her. The bone-chilling water soaked her entire body as she lay on the ground, covered in bloodstains.
"You did very well. You are the only one who could last a full two hours without breaking." Han Ya Si draped a warm cloak over Yun Weishan. Yun Weishan had already lost part of her consciousness and was shivering.
Han Ya Si gently patted Yun Weishan's back, his voice growing softer and softer: "It's alright, it's all over..."
Receiving no answer from Yun Weishan after a long wait, Gong Shangjue asked sharply again, "You, are you a Wufeng spy?"
Yun Weishan shook her head, glanced at Gong Ziyu standing to the side with a face full of worry, then turned her head back to Gong Shangjue. Looking at him, she answered firmly, "No."
Gong Shangjue frowned, remained silent for three seconds, and asked again, "Who are you?"
"Yun Weishan... from Pear Stream Town."
Gong Shangjue fell silent. He frowned, looked at Gong Ziyu, then stared at Young Master Yue for a moment before abruptly turning and leaving without a word.
Elder Yue sighed softly and said to Gong Ziyu, "The drug's effect will wear off in a quarter of an hour. Take good care of Miss Yun."
Yun Weishan's vision was still blurry, her gaze vacant. The cold poison in her body flared up again, and she began to shiver all over. Gong Ziyu gently draped his outer robe over her and held her tightly from behind.
Gong Ziyu whispered, "From now on, no one will ever be allowed to bully you again. I will protect you forever."
