Chapter 560: Chapter 562: Li Yi Returns to Arrest Someone

Because of the visitor, Jiang Yichun could no longer continue changing his clothes. He hurriedly fastened his outer garments and carefully set the mink vest aside, as if fearful that someone might damage it.

Wu Yunfeng, seeing his actions, couldn’t help but laugh, saying: "True enough, everything Miss Bai gifts are good items. Just look at how reluctant you are to part with it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhu immediately said, "If Master Wu likes it, Ruozhu could make one more and send it over."

Wu Yunfeng waved his hand, "No need to trouble yourself, you already protect him quite thoroughly."

Bai Ruozhu’s face turned red, and Wu Yunfeng noticed. As the saying goes, a seasoned ginger is spicier.

Jiang Yichun, however, chuckled in triumph.

"I came over not for anything else, but to see how Yichun’s injuries are." Wu Yunfeng stated.

"Once the poisonous insect poison is cured, there should be no issues. These days have been hard on your apprentice sister." Jiang Yichun spoke courteously, his tone, however, was somewhat cold.

Wu Yunfeng was perhaps used to Jiang Yichun’s frosty demeanor and thus didn’t overthink it, seemingly unaware of Wu Wanqing’s feelings.

Bai Ruozhu sneakily observed Wu Yunfeng and Wu Wanqing’s reactions, wondering if Wu Yunfeng would assist his daughter if he knew that Wu Wanqing wanted to be with Jiang Yichun?

She soon relaxed. If Wu Yunfeng approved, Wu Wanqing wouldn’t need to hide it from her father, she could just directly tell him.

It seemed that the deceased elder disciple was highly regarded by Wu Yunfeng, and with Wu Wanqing thinking of remarrying so quickly after her husband’s death, maybe her father also found it inappropriate?

Seeing that the teacher and student were going to talk, Bai Ruozhu stated that she should take her leave. Although Jiang Yichun was somewhat reluctant, he couldn’t exactly ask his teacher to leave. Bai Ruozhu exchanged a few New Year greetings with Wu Yunfeng, then left with Dengdeng in her arms.

That evening, the Bai family gathered in the cozy main hall, joyously celebrating the New Year with firecrackers and dumplings. The jubilant holiday passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 5th day of the New Year.

In the Danliang Country, it was a custom to celebrate the mini New Year on the 5th day. As the Bai family was happily setting off firecrackers, Lin Ping’er said, "Just two more days, and Zehao and his family will be back. I’ve been missing them a lot."

Bai Ruozhu smiled, "They’ve only been gone nine days, shouldn’t Aunt Su miss Sister Caiyue even more?"

Lin Ping’er sighed sentimentally, mumbling, "It would be much more convenient if the Su family moved over."

At midnight, Bai Ruozhu took Dengdeng back to her room to sleep. She didn’t go into the Space during the night, but she suddenly felt a chill in the middle of the night, and immediately woke up.

With her excellent hearing, she quickly detected faint footsteps on the roof. No, it wasn’t quite footsteps -- rather, the roof tiles were a bit loose, and there was a slight touch. If it wasn’t for Bai Ruozhu’s exceptional hearing, she wouldn’t have heard it, and if she did, she would have just attributed it to the wind.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart rate quickened a bit. She quickly picked up Dengdeng and dashed into the Space.

Almost in an instant, her window was gently pried open and a few silhouettes jumped in. Bai Ruozhu watched it all like a "big screen" from within the Space, seeing things even clearer than if she was in the room. Her eyes widened in surprise: the first person was actually Li Yi, once Right Chief Secretary!

Her heart pounded. Hadn’t he fled to Xuantian Mountain? The Chief Secretary Department was hunting him down, why would he dare to return? And even come after her for revenge?

No, Bai Ruozhu immediately realized, Li Yi was not here for revenge but wanted to kidnap her, maybe because of the poisonous insect, or maybe he desired her poisonous skills.

Cold dread washed over her. If Li Yi couldn’t find her, he could still find her family. How would he treat her family?

At that moment, she wished she could rush out immediately and poison all of them, but she was still holding Dengdeng. Even if she were alone, she probably wouldn’t have time to retaliate.

Moreover, those with profound internal strength can control the onset of poison, and the room is so small, she won’t gain much time.

Cold sweat seeped out of her back. Because she was too anxious to hide, she was only wearing a thin shirt. The sweat soaked through it, sticking to her back, making her very uncomfortable.

"Where is she? Have you checked that she hasn’t left the house?" Li Yi’s voice was very low, but anyone could hear the impending eruption of his anger.

"Prince, I’ve been watching her closely, she didn’t leave." said a subordinate respectfully.

Surprised, Bai Ruozhu widened her eyes. Prince? Li Yi is a prince of the Turkic country!

"Could there be a secret passage in this room? Find it immediately!" He ordered in a low voice.

The three subordinates behind him searched the walls and the floor of the room, even moving some of the furniture, seemingly unwilling to overlook any possible place which could hide a mechanism.

Perhaps the noise they made was too loud, the sound of the door being pushed open resonated from the courtyard, followed by cautious inquiry whispered,"Ruozhu, what’s wrong? What’s that noise in the room?"

Bai Ruozhu immediately covered her mouth, scared. Her mother was a light sleeper, and must have been awakened by the noise, she prayed that she wouldn’t enter the room!

She wished she could instantly step out to reassure her mother, telling her that everything is okay, and advised her to return to her room and sleep. However, the moment she steps out, her child would also be exposed in front of Li Yi. She was unable to contain Dengdeng within her space. As soon as she comes out, Dengdeng would automatically follow.

What should she do? Bai Ruozhu’s heart pounded furiously. Just then, the creaking sound of the door opening echoed. Her mother had entered the room!

Li Yi gestured to his subordinates. Immediately, one of them moved swiftly to immobilize Lin Ping’er. Before she could even assemble a scream, her mouth was covered.

Shaken by fear, Lin Ping’er’s legs trembled as she looked at the intruders in horror.The look in her eyes clearly asked what they were going to do.

Bai Ruozhu clenched her fists tightly. She had to step out. She couldn’t stand by and let anything happen to her mother!

Li Yi revealed a cold grin on his face, "Take her mother away, I don’t believe she will not walk into my trap."

"Yes, Prince." Responded the man holding Lin Ping’er, and she was shoved out of the room and into the courtyard.

The moment Bai Ruozhu noticed that they had all left the room, she immediately emerged from her space. Placing Dengdeng on the bed, she dashed out of the room, flinging poison with her hand.

"Let go of my mother. I’ll go with you!" Bai Ruozhu demanded solemnly.

Upon seeing her, a smug smile spread across Li Yi’s face. "I knew you couldn’t abandon your mother. Turns out I know you pretty well."

Bai Ruozhu stared at him coldly: "Any human wouldn’t abandon their own mother. This doesn’t count as understanding me. You want me, let go of my mother."

"That won’t work, you’re too cunning. If I let go of your mother, what if you use the Godspeed Amulet to escape?" Li Yi smiled at Bai Ruozhu. Under the moonlight, his slightly long teeth looked particularly sinister.

Some people associate prolonged teeth with Dragon Teeth, suggesting that such people have good luck. However, at this moment, to Bai Ruozhu’s eyes, Li Yi appeared to be a bloodthirsty monster at night
