340: Chapter 324 Clever Han Qingci_1 340: Chapter 324 Clever Han Qingci_1 Han Qingci furrowed her brows, stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked at “Mingzhu,” asking, “What method?”

“Mingzhu” smiled, took out a vermilion pill, handed it to Han Qingci, and said, “This elixir pill was refined by a skillful person from our hometown who specializes in matchmaking.

It’s called the Infatuation Pill, and as long as you get Lu Chuan to consume this pill and kiss him, he will fall in love with you forever and never be able to leave you.”

“I originally planned to save this elixir pill for my future significant other, but seeing the young mistress so heartbroken, I can only take it out to help you fulfill your wish first.”

Han Qingci took the pill, looked it over, and with rotating eyes, asked, “Just by consuming this pill, Brother Lu Chuan will love me forever?”

“Mingzhu” replied with a smile, “Of course, my loyalty lies entirely with you, mistress.

Why would I deceive you?”

Han Qingci nodded and said, “Fine then, I’ll find an opportunity later to let Brother Lu Chuan consume this pill, and then Ling’er won’t be able to compete with me.”

A mocking glint flashed in “Mingzhu’s” eyes as she smiled, “The young mistress will surely win the heart of the one you love.”

This pill was something she had obtained from Tu Youming, a top-tier poison pill of the world.

Once someone ingested it, their body would rot, organs would fail, and they would ultimately endure excruciating pain as the poison eroded their bones and bored into their heart until death.

No matter how strong Lu Chuan was, he would undoubtedly die if he consumed this pill!

“I truly am brilliant beyond measure.

This Han girl, acting like a lovesick fool, probably has nothing but love on her mind and should be easy to manipulate.

Using her to poison Lu Chuan should be a sure thing,” she thought with complacency.

Just as Qin Lan was indulging in self-satisfaction, Han Qingci said, “Mingzhu, my shoulders are a bit sore, come over and give me a massage.”

Qin Lan, thinking she still needed to exploit Han Qingci to kill Lu Chuan, naturally had to pamper her and briskly walked over, saying, “Of course, young mistress, I will massage you right away.”

She moved behind Han Qingci, extended her hands, and kneaded Han Qingci’s shoulders, asking, “Is it here?”

But suddenly, Han Qingci spun around, grasped Qin Lan’s mouth, and swiftly stuffed the vermilion pill into her mouth.

Qin Lan hadn’t expected Han Qingci to pull such a move, and before she could react, the pill had already been tossed into her throat, causing her to swallow it inadvertently.

Her face drastically changed, and still pretending to be Mingzhu, she asked, “Young mistress, what are you doing?”

Yet Han Qingci looked at Qin Lan with a wary expression, gathering all her strength in her palms, and demanded, “There’s no need to pretend with me; you are clearly not Mingzhu.

Mingzhu would never enter my room without my permission, and moreover, she was helping in the inner courtyard all day today and couldn’t possibly know about my situation with Brother Lu Chuan.

Who exactly are you!”

Qin Lan frowned and cursed, “You little bitch, I didn’t think you would be so vigilant.

I thought with you being so lovesick, you would be easy to deceive!”

Han Qingci smirked and said, “No matter how lovesick I am, it’s only for Brother Lu Chuan.

That doesn’t mean I’ve lost my mind.”

If she had been affected by the Peach Blossom Brew, she might have been truly charmed by this stranger with unknown origins.

But now that she had recovered her wits, the intelligent Han Qingci could easily tell that this person was an imposter of Mingzhu.

Qin Lan gritted her teeth and quickly took out another pill, swallowing it.

It was the antidote to the poison pill she swallowed just before.

Once she confirmed that the poison in her body had been neutralized, she breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Then her gaze turned venomous as she coldly said to Han Qingci, “You wretch, since you refuse to cooperate, go to hell!”

She then struck a palm towards Han Qingci.

Han Qingci, seeing this, did not back down.

She summoned all her strength and extended her hand to counter Qin Lan’s strike.

With a loud bang, a powerful force exploded, causing both of them to retreat several steps backward.

Qin Lan furrowed her brows, “I didn’t expect you to possess such strength!”

Han Qingci coldly snorted and shouted, “Now that you’ve felt my strength, show your true face, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

After a moment of thought, Qin Lan suddenly released a smoke bomb and turned to flee.

She didn’t want to tangle with Han Qingci too long and create too much commotion, drawing the attention of the Censorate Department.

Moreover, given Han Qingci’s formidable abilities, and since her primary target was Lu Chuan, it wasn’t worth taking great risks here.

Han Qingci dashed out of the smoke, pursued Qin Lan to the outside of the room, and shouted, “If you have the guts, don’t run!”

After a while, once she confirmed that the imposter who had been passing as Mingzhu had indeed fled, she finally relaxed, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, her complexion turning extremely pale.

The person impersonating Mingzhu was far stronger than she was.

By relying on the advantage of her Innate Spirit Body and the powerful martial technique Lu Chuan had given her, she had used all her might just to counter that one strike from her adversary.

The whole point was to mislead her opponent into thinking she was very strong, prompting the idea of escape; otherwise, she feared today would have likely ended badly for her.

That one strike had left her seriously injured.

“This person was targeting Brother Lu Chuan, I must hurry to warn him; he’s in danger!”

Han Qingci dragged her injured body around the house, found the unconscious Mingzhu, and woke her.

Mingzhu looked confused.

Seeing Han Qingci’s pale face, she hurriedly asked, “Young mistress, what’s wrong with you?

You seem very weak.”

Han Qingci couldn’t bother with explanations, enduring the pain, she weakly said, “Quick, take me to the Martial Arts Association!”

Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.

In the room, Lu Chuan sighed over the squabble he had witnessed between the two girls that day.

He knew he had incurred many a romantic debt and that he would eventually face such problems.

But he also had no idea how to handle this situation.

“It seems being a playboy isn’t as easy as it looks.”

After a moment of reflection, Lu Chuan placed the spoils of war he had obtained from the Yin Ghost Sect on the table, planning to use cultivation to dissolve the distress his emotional problems caused him.

The treasures of the Yin Ghost Sect were numerous, enough to elevate his strength to a new level.

His gaze scanned over the treasures on the table until it finally rested on an item resembling a token.

“What’s this?” he picked up the token, wanting to study it.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

Knock, knock, knock.

Lu Chuan got up and walked to the door, muttering to himself, “Who would come looking for me at this hour?”

The door opened, and moonlight spilled in.

When Lu Chuan saw the figure standing at the doorway, he was slightly surprised, “Ling’er?

What are you doing here?”

Zhong Ling’er looked at Lu Chuan with proud defiance and said, “Can’t I come because I missed you?”

Lu Chuan helplessly replied, “Ling’er, I’m not joking.

I truly feel you don’t genuinely like me, it’s just those things that happened between us that made you have a misconception.”

Zhong Ling’er snorted and said, “Are you trying to say that I developed some inexplicable feelings for you because you hurt me?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Something like that.”

Zhong Ling’er took out a book and handed it to Lu Chuan, saying, “I came to explain this matter to you.”

“This book is based on what happened between us, and the heroine’s emotional journey reflects my thoughts.

Once you finish it, you’ll know whether I truly like you.”

Lu Chuan accepted the book with some surprise and said, “You can actually write books?”

Zhong Ling’er slightly smug, said, “I have many loyal readers, they can all vouch for my feelings for you!”

Lu Chuan curiously opened the book and upon seeing the chapter titled “The Night Lu Chuan Cruelly Ravished Me,” his eyes widened in shock.

Zhong Ling’er’s face flushed with embarrassment and she said, “Hey, you should start from the beginning, don’t flip through randomly.

I can assure you, the thoughts of the heroine in the book are my own.”

Lu Chuan quickly glanced at the content of that chapter and realized it was a blatantly erotic book, but he still pretended to be serious and said, “Alright, I will read it from the beginning with care.”

Zhong Ling’er said shyly, “It’s so late now, maybe I should stay the night here.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Okay, I’ll have them arrange a room for you.”

Zhong Ling’er quickly said, “Jerk, don’t you get what I mean?”

Lu Chuan helplessly replied, “Madam, please don’t make things more complicated for me.

If Qingci finds out, my problems will only get bigger.”

Zhong Ling’er huffed, not convinced, with her large eyes twinkling, she said, “Don’t you think the moon tonight is beautiful?”

Lu Chuan looked up at the moon in the sky and said, “Yes, the moon is beautiful tonight.”

“So…

it wouldn’t be too much to ask for a kiss, would it?”

Zhong Ling’er said, and without waiting for Lu Chuan to respond, she tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

Mingzhu, supporting Han Qingci, happened to come by at that moment.

Han Qingci thought that Lu Chuan would surely not ignore her injuries and that when he helped her heal, she could take advantage of the situation to secure Lu Chuan for herself, proving her place in his heart was no less than that of Zhong Ling’er.

However, the next second, she saw Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er kissing under the moonlight, and she stood there, completely frozen.
