Chapter 907: Chapter 907: In My Hands_1

Upon seeing his reaction, Lin Caisang offered her own suggestion.

"Ah?"

Steward Xin’s eyes immediately widened in shock.

To gag his young master’s mouth—how could that be acceptable? If he really did that, once his young master returned to the mansion, he would surely have him killed.

Although Suri seemed eager to kill him right then, it had been his master’s explicit instruction to knock Suri unconscious. He was merely following orders. Perhaps his master would protect him somewhat when the time came?

"This absolutely cannot be done," he insisted, shaking his head repeatedly. He couldn’t possibly do such a thing, no matter what.

"Miss, could you possibly provide me with more of that medicine that can take away my young master’s voice? What do you think?" he asked again.

"I’m afraid that won’t work."

Lin Caisang shook her head, rejecting his proposal.

"The remedy I gave before could still be cured with an antidote, but if the same person is afflicted a second time, they would be mute for life. Last time, I did not fully consider that after taking a medicinal bath, the poison would be neutralized. If administered again, I’m afraid...

However, there’s a slim chance it might not happen. If Steward Xin insists, I could give...

As she spoke, she was about to reach into her small satchel for the medicine.

Seeing this, Steward Xin hastily shook his head.

"No, no, miss, better not. If something happens to my young master, my lord would certainly kill me."

He wouldn’t dare to jest about such matters. If his young master were to be poisoned into muteness, his future would be completely ruined... but then, what future would he have?

"Steward Xin doesn’t want it?" Lin Caisang lifted her innocent-looking eyes to him and asked.

"I don’t want it, definitely not," continued Steward Xin, shaking his head.

What slim chance could there be in such matters? Even if there were, it was not for a steward to gamble with.

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss. I shall take my leave now then."

There was no choice; he would have to continue enduring his young master’s cacophonous wails.

"You sure are something," Ya Molian remarked to the girl after Steward Xin had left and the carriage curtain dropped. He tapped her nose gently and expressed his helplessness towards her actions.

She spoke with a righteous air, yet in truth, the young girl was just being playful.

"Can Suri survive your hassling all the way back to Shaohua City?" he asked her.

"Why couldn’t he?"

Lin Caisang took off her mask, arching her brow.

"If I say he can make it, then he will. His life is solely in my hands."

Raising her hand, she slowly clenched her fingers, demonstrating her capabilities. To her, playing with Suri was effortless—how could he not make it back alive?

....

After nearly a month of traveling, the group finally arrived at the base of White Blind Mountain.

At the foot of White Blind Mountain, there was a place to stay that was neither quite a town nor a village. Many houses abounded, but most were decrepit, looking as though they might collapse at any moment.

And as for the population—well, there were very few people indeed.

"Steward Xin, are you planning to find a local family to stay with, or will you find your own place?" Lin Caisang looked at the village that resembled ruins and asked Steward Xin, who had already brought the carriage to a stop.

At this moment, Steward Xin was also frowning, finding it difficult to imagine that such a place could be inhabited.

But they had already arrived, and it was impossible not to stay overnight. Whatever the case, they had to wait here for Lin Caisang to descend from White Blind Mountain and continue to treat his young master’s poison.
