Chapter 912: Chapter 912: That’s Impossible!_1

"What’s the matter?" Lin Caisang turned her head, looking at the person.

"Ma’am, since you come from the residence of the National Teacher and also were sent by the Emperor to White Blind Mountain, you should be with us," the leader said, swallowing a gob of saliva before he continued to caution her.

This White Blind Mountain was truly too bizarre. He was afraid that once they entered, they wouldn’t be able to come out, so it was better to have Lin Caisang by their side first.

"Tsk."

Lin Caisang let out a snicker, as if she had just heard a ridiculously funny joke.

"Don’t say that the Emperor didn’t ask this lady to protect you; even if he did, so what? Whom I choose to protect is my own business, and I will do as I please.

Moreover, with the way you just betrayed your companion, do you still wish for this lady to stay by your side? What, do you wish for me to act as your human shield when danger befalls you? Haha, that would depend on whether you possess the ability to merit such a service.

How audacious of you, to give orders over me. Have you forgotten that the only reason I agreed to this journey to White Blind Mountain is that Prince Mo himself asked for my company?

If it was Prince Mo’s proposal, what does it have to do with you?"

"You—"

The leader had not anticipated her response.

Just now, he was thinking that, after all, they were sent by the Emperor, and this female doctor ought to save them some face.

But he didn’t expect that she would genuinely not leave any face for them, nor for the Emperor.

"Ma’am, no matter what, we have to climb the mountain together, don’t we?"

"Is that so? If you wish, we can certainly climb the mountain separately. I have no objections to that," Caisang said. "Please, Leader, feel free to go ahead. As for what you just mentioned, about wanting me to stay by your side, that is impossible!"

Lin Caisang glanced again in the direction of the blood river, her somewhat pale lips curling into a mocking smile.

"That person must have followed you for many years, right? To betray a subordinate of so many years, and not even care whether they live or die," Caisang said. "I’ve only known you for a few days, Leader, and I certainly don’t wish to lose my life here."

Having said that, she walked away first.

"Mind your own business!"

Ya Molian coldly warned the leader and then followed, leaving with her.

"You..."

The leader watched as the two departed, absolutely livid with anger.

But besides being angry, what could he do? One of them was Prince Mo, and the other was a female doctor who knew poisons—neither of them could he afford to offend now.

"Just you wait. Once Prince Lin is rescued, you’ll see what’s coming to you."

His gaze lingered on the backs of the departing figures, his teeth clenched as he spoke.

...

Two hours passed quickly.

Ya Molian instructed her people to distribute all of the food that could be taken from the carriage to Zhe Jue and his party.

"Don’t carry it in your hands; either strap it to your back or tie it around your waist. In any case, both hands must be kept free," Lin Caisang told everyone as she saw them holding items in their hands.

"Saw the blood river earlier? With so much blood, whether from humans or animals, we must prevent ourselves from being attacked by wild beasts as soon as we enter White Blind Mountain."

Upon hearing her words, everyone packed accordingly—strapping things to the back or tying them around their waist—freeing up both hands and taking their swords in hand, ready to defend against any beasts that might approach.

They prepared themselves for battle.
