Chapter 1420: Chapter 1422: So What if I Kill a Prince?_1

Prince Sangdian showed a look of surprise, but his face quickly took on a contemptuous smile, apparently not believing a word Sangta said and even thinking that Sangta was hyping Bai Ruozhu and the others.

Bai Ruozhu wasn’t angry, just coldly watching him, mentally commanding Furball to bite him, not needing to use a heavy dose of poisonous insect poison—just enough to make him fall unconscious for a while would suffice.

That was out of respect for Sangta, fearing that if something serious happened to Prince Sangdian in front of him, he too would be culpable.

Animals are the most sensitive, more keen to sense danger than humans, and as soon as Furball appeared, the large tiger Prince Sangdian was riding felt the threat, becoming restive with roars and pacing back and forth.

Prince Sangdian clamped his legs against the tiger’s stomach to show his discontent but failed to recognize the danger signal the tiger’s reaction indicated from Bai Ruozhu.

"Sangta, not having seen you for a few days, and you have started to boast?" said Prince Sangdian, who also burst out laughing.

Unfortunately, the laughter ended abruptly, and he suddenly slumped off the tiger’s back.

"Prince, what’s wrong with you?" Prince Sangdian’s subordinates reacted quickly, catching their master before he embraced the ground, and asked anxiously.

When they discovered Prince Sangdian was unconscious, one suddenly drew his sword and shouted at Jiang Yichun, "What have you done to Prince Sangdian? Did you poison him? Hand over the antidote now, or you will not leave the Barbarian Tribe!"

Grinding his teeth, Sangta glared at the guard, "It’s not your turn to act wild with my guests; even if this matter goes to the emperor, Prince Sangdian has no justification."

"Do you think the emperor would watch you harm your own brother?" the guard said loudly.

"Enough! If you’re so concerned about your prince, why aren’t you taking him back for treatment? Do you want to risk something worse happening to him if you delay?" Bai Ruozhu snapped coldly, then waited for the guard to say, "Take your master and get out of my sight fast. If anyone dares to stop me from going home, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"How dare you..." The guard’s words were truncated by Bai Ruozhu’s interjection.

"Shut up! You’re not in any position to talk to me, I advise you not to provoke me, so what if a prince is killed? If you don’t want to die, then scram fast!" Bai Ruozhu had been in a bad mood lately, plus she was in a hurry to get home; it was as if Prince Sangdian had run straight into the line of fire.

Biting his teeth, Prince Sangdian’s guard glanced at his unconscious master and had no choice but to lead the men back, knowing full well they couldn’t stand up to Sangta’s crew if it came to a fight.

Once Prince Sangdian’s men had cleared out, Sangta hurriedly apologized to Bai Ruozhu, "I didn’t anticipate our brotherly rivalry would bring trouble to you, I’m sorry. It seems Prince Sangdian won’t give up so easily; we should set off quickly."

"He will be unconscious for three days, by which time we should be far away, even if other pursuers are arranged to follow; I have ways to deal with them," Bai Ruozhu said distrustfully.

Sangta frowned, "I just fear the queen might send a large force after us. It seems I can’t personally escort you to the border. I have to return and report this to the emperor to prevent them from acting recklessly."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "I hope it doesn’t cause you trouble, you go ahead."

Sangta looked reluctant, "Bai Ruozhu, I will come to visit you in the capital of Danliang Country."

Confronted with his somewhat childish tone, she couldn’t help but laugh, "Fine, I’ll welcome you for sure, and treat you to the best restaurant in our place when you come."

"Deal. Hold me to that," Sangta said, laughing heartily as he turned his tiger around, leading the men to leave.

He hadn’t run far when he turned his head back and shouted, "Bai Ruozhu, if we meet again, I’ll teach you the real Beast Taming Technique!"

Bai Ruozhu noticed the change in the expression of the guards by his side, who seemed very surprised, but soon they hurried off with the Beast Team.

Jiang Yichun cast an annoyed glance at the now dot-like Sangta and muttered, "So rude, only saying goodbye to her. Full of ulterior motives."

Muyu leaned in and said, "Master, you should be happy. Your love rival has pissed off." After he finished, he snickered mischievously.

Jiang Yichun realized that was true and his mood improved.

The team continued their journey, stopping briefly at noon to rest. Everyone took out some dried food and water and sat beside the horse carriage, making do with a few bites.

"Uncle Qingyan, is it true that the Barbarian Clan’s Beast Taming Technique is not taught to outsiders?" Bai Ruozhu sat next to Qingyan and inquired.

"You guessed it, didn’t you? I was also surprised when Sangta said that, but generally, except for the Barbarian Tribe, battle beasts don’t easily recognize outsiders as their masters, so when Xiaohei was friendly to you, I was very surprised too," Qingyan laughed. "I used to give it all sorts of nice things, but it was so haughty, it ignored me completely."

"Besides battle beasts not choosing outsiders, not teaching the Beast Taming Technique to outsiders is also a factor. Sangshu also wanted to teach me how to tame beasts, but unfortunately, no battle beast took a liking to me," Qingyan said with self-deprecating laughter.

Bai Ruozhu really wanted to extend Xiaohei’s life and make it stronger, but she didn’t want to trouble Sangta further, so she was somewhat conflicted.

"Don’t worry, if he could say it publicly, there must be a proper way to teach you. Don’t forget, you are the one from the Barbarian prophecy," Qingyan guessed her concerns.

Bai Ruozhu thought about it, and that made sense; she even began to look forward to learning the Beast Taming Technique sooner.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. The modified horse carriage increased their speed significantly and was also very stable. Fen Wan’s condition was also good, which made Hao Feng even more impressed with Bai Ruozhu, praising her thoughtfulness.

However, along the way, whether they were camping or staying overnight in villages, Bai Ruozhu always stayed in the same room with Zhanna, ignoring Jiang Yichun and rarely speaking to him.

There was a thorn in her heart. Why had she woken up so quickly after being cursed with an evil technique, not having anything happen to her with Sangta, while he had not woken up and even followed Honglian’s orders to kill her?

She even wondered if anything had happened between him and Honglian. The thought of him touching another woman filled her with anger, and she couldn’t swallow her pride.

The subsequent part of their travels went without issue. No one from Sangdian had come after them again, likely thanks to Sangta’s effort. Bai Ruozhu also guessed that Jin Jing, who had been expected to capture Jiang Yichun, hadn’t shown up either, suspecting internal issues among them.

And so, the team left the Western Regions and returned to Guangqi City without further incident.

Sun Jia was especially happy to see Bai Ruozhu, clamoring that he had something to ask her. Knowing Sun Jia’s obsession with medical skills, Bai Ruozhu smiled and answered all his questions, then inquired about the plague patients in Guangqi City.

"Thanks to you, almost all of the people who contracted the plague are better now," Sun Jia said cheerfully. "Only a few patients from the later stages are still in quarantine, not yet able to return home, but their families can visit regularly." He continued, "And, I’ve taken on a disciple."

Seeing his joy, Bai Ruozhu asked, "Is your disciple around today? Let me meet them and see if they’d like to join the Medical Alliance."
