Chapter 908: Chapter 908: Deserved to Die Even If Dead!_1

"Miss, I shall stay in the room at the very edge of the village," he said.

"That sounds good."

After thinking it over, Lin Caisang nodded her agreement.

"Here, these two prescriptions are for you. Use the medicine from the first prescription for the first two times, and the medicine from the second prescription for the third and fourth times. If after a month we have not returned, continue with the medicine from the second prescription. Do you understand?"

She handed the two prescriptions to Steward Xin, instructing him.

"I understand," Steward Xin nodded.

Last night he had just treated the young master for poison, and these two prescriptions would last for just over a month.

But even so, he was still worried. What kind of place was White Blind Mountain? Could one make a round trip in a month?

That place was always known for its ’no return’ reputation. How many people had sought to make a name for themselves on White Blind Mountain but never returned?

"Miss, please be careful. I will wait for you here in the village," he said.

"Hmm."

Lin Caisang nodded, without a moment’s hesitation, she followed Ya Molian and her group up the mountain.

...

In less than an hour, the group of more than fifty people had arrived at the true foot of White Blind Mountain. After getting down from the carriages, they planned to abandon them along with the horses.

Standing beside the carriages, Ya Molian raised her hand, and everyone stopped and looked at her.

"Leader."

Zhe Jue immediately came over.

"Let everyone rest on the spot for two hours. We’ll set off after lunch," Ya Molian ordered.

"Yes, Leader," Zhe Jue responded and went to pass on the message.

"Rest? Why rest now? Can’t we eat after we start up the mountain?" The leader sent by the emperor couldn’t restrain himself from questioning Zhe Jue upon hearing that Ya Molian intended to rest before ascending.

"Prince Mo’s intention is that everyone should be aware of the dangers that exist on White Blind Mountain. A meal before ascending at least provides some security," Zhe Jue said.

What he actually wanted to say was that these people sent by the emperor were not there to help them on White Blind Mountain; each and every one of them was a burden, and they wouldn’t have the time to take care of these people when the time came.

If they ate this meal and then encountered danger, at the very least they wouldn’t die on an empty stomach!

"What is Prince Mo thinking? Can’t we skip a meal? We came to rescue Prince Lin, not to enjoy ourselves here," said the leader. Seeing Zhe Jue treating him politely, he thought Zhe Jue was afraid of him. His voice grew louder, and his words more irritating.

"It’s just a short rest and a meal. It won’t delay us for long," Zhe Jue said coolly, glancing at him.

"How can it not delay us?"

The leader kept pressing Zhe Jue, feeling that Prince Mo was simply stalling for time.

"Haven’t we already delayed enough on this journey? Now that we’ve reached the foot of the mountain, we have to rest again. Why does Prince Mo have to make such a fuss? Can’t he start up the mountain first? Don’t you realize that Prince Lin might have encountered dangers on the mountain, and if we are late..."

"He would only be getting what he deserves if he’s dead!"

A cold voice interrupted the leader’s speech.

He turned his eyes and met a pair of icy ones, which made him take a step back.

"Miss... Miss, you..."

"What’s the matter? Leader Mo, would you like us to go our separate ways? You can take your men and explore White Blind Mountain first," Lin Caisang said, questioning him.

"This... Miss, the emperor commanded that his men follow Your Highness Prince Mo, and I certainly cannot go ahead on my own," he swallowed hard, his voice barely audible.
