Soon, the news that Yun Luo, the little waste of the Yun family, would challenge Xiao Qinglan, the little genius of the Xiao family, at Suzaku Terrace in a month spread like wildfire, and the entire imperial city was instantly in an uproar.

Almost everyone in the teahouses and alleys was talking about this matter.

"What? Yun Luo, the idiot from the Yun family, is actually going to challenge Xiao Qinglan, the little genius from the Xiao family. Did I hear that correctly?"

"Isn't it? I thought I heard it wrong at first."

"This is too funny. Did Yun Luo's head get caught in the door? Isn't this just asking for death?"

"Who says it's not true? Once you step onto the Suzaku Terrace, you'll be dead or alive. How deep is the hatred between these two that they have gotten to this point?"

"I know this. I heard it was to cancel the engagement..."

"Broken engagement? Now that you mention it, I remember that the Marquis of Jingning's son Yun Yi and the Xiao family's eldest daughter Xiao Qinglan seemed to be engaged. Now that Yun Yi is disabled, I think the Xiao family naturally looks down on him."

"In my opinion, the Xiao family is just looking down on others. Yun Yi was also a young genius, but it's a pity that fate played tricks on him."

"Alas, who can say for sure about such things? Even though the Xiao family is so prosperous now, they may decline one day."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or you will die."

"Humph, I'm not afraid. The Xiao family has pushed people to death, so why won't they let people speak out?"

"That's right. When the Marquis of Jingning and his wife were here, I also received their kindness. Now their children are being persecuted by the Xiao family. I just can't stand it anymore."

"What can you do if you can't stand it? Do you want to speak up for them? Don't bother thinking about it. The Xiao family has hundreds of years of heritage, and they can kill you with just a flick of their fingers."

"Tsk, I'm just saying..."

"..."

Xiao family.

Xiao Zheng, the head of the Xiao family, slammed a table and broke it into pieces.

"Where's that rebellious girl? Tell her to come see me right away!"

As soon as he came back, he heard that Xiao Qinglan had taken it upon herself to go to the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion to cancel the engagement. It would have been fine if she had just canceled the engagement, but she also caused the Battle of Suzaku Terrace.

Now everyone knows how the Xiao family bullies others and how they betray their friends.

He has completely lost face.

"Report, report to the master. The young lady said she wanted to go into seclusion and has gone to the forbidden area in the back mountain." A female slave below replied tremblingly.

"Huh, you run pretty fast!" Xiao Zheng looked angry.

"Oh, master, it's just a cancellation of an engagement, why do you get so angry?" Mrs. Xiao walked out from the back of the hall and said.

"How dare you say that? It's all your fault. You spoiled her to the point of being lawless!" Xiao Zheng waved his sleeves angrily.

"Well, Lan'er is the only daughter of our Xiao family. Who else should we spoil if not her?

Besides, that rubbish of the Yun family is not worthy of our Lan'er. Master, haven't you always wanted to cancel this marriage?"

Xiao Zheng sighed: "That being said, it can only be done in private. Now that everyone knows about it, how do you want me to end it?"

Madam Xiao sneered: "Everyone is just looking for the novelty of the moment, and will soon forget it. Who will really take it to heart?"

Xiao Zheng heard this and thought it made sense: "Forget it, let's spare her this time. As for the battle at Suzakutai..."

"Don't worry, Master. Yunluo is just a fool. Our Lan'er will win."

Jingning Marquis Mansion.

When Yun Yuanpeng returned from his duty, he heard from his subordinates what had happened in Tingfeng Courtyard, but he did not take it to heart.

He wished that Yunluo and Yunyi would disappear immediately, so how could he possibly stop them?

……

Night falls.

Yun Luo withdrew from the space with a few white pills in his hand.

She looked at the sky outside the window, then got up and went to Yun Yi's room next door.

Yun Yi was sleeping very soundly. It seemed that he must not have gotten much sleep during the days when she was away.

This can be seen from the large patches of purple in his eyes.

Yun Luo sighed, took out a pill and fed it to him.

After taking this pill, he will be able to sleep well tonight.

No more suffering from pain.

After doing all this, Yunluo sat down beside the bed. She had to take Yunyi's pulse carefully to find out the specific cause of the illness.

But soon, Yunluo's fingers on Yunyi's wrist jumped suddenly.

His eyes turned cold in an instant.

She finally understood why Yun Yi was tortured by illness every night. It was because in addition to the animal poison he was infected with during his training, Yun Yi's body was also infected with a very rare and deadly poison.

This poison will not only gradually eat away at a person's body, but will also make the poisoned person's spirit increasingly weak until he dies unconsciously in his sleep.

No wonder Yun Yi has become more and more sleepy recently. So that's why.

Who on earth could be so cruel to Yun Yi?

Fortunately, she happened to know how to refine the antidote for this poison, but there was a kind of spiritual plant that was a little difficult to find.

I don’t know if there are such spiritual plants on this barren and inferior continent.

It seems that she will have to go to the Alchemist Association tomorrow.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded at the gate of the courtyard.

When Yun Luo walked out of the room, he saw a young servant in gray cloth pushing open the gate and walking in.

He was holding a bulging black purse in his hand, tossing it up and down in a very happy mood.

He was humming a little tune in a leisurely manner: "The waves are clanging, the waves are clanging..."

"It seems like you made a lot of money today." Yun Luo leaned against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, saying with a smile.

She was just worried about having no money to spend, and suddenly someone brought money to her door.

very nice.

"That's right, don't you see who I am..." The servant responded subconsciously, but suddenly realized what he was saying and stopped talking halfway.

He looked up with some fear, and when he saw clearly that the person who was speaking was Yun Luo, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This idiot really scared him to death.

"You piece of trash, do you want to die? Get out of here!" he roared impatiently.

Yun Luo’s eyes were cold.

A mere servant dares to yell at his master, very good.

She flashed and appeared in front of the servant in the blink of an eye.

Before the boy could react, Yun Luo had already grabbed his neck.

"It's you who want to die."

Yun Luo exerted a little force on his hands, and the servant began to have difficulty breathing.

In the past, she would have executed this kind of stubborn slave on the spot without saying a word, but now...

"Tell me, who ordered you to poison the prince?"

This servant's name is Wu Ping. He is usually responsible for taking care of Yun Yi's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Except for him, no one else would have the opportunity to poison Yun Yi's food.

But he was just a servant. How could he dare to do this without anyone's instructions?
