Chapter 239 Lotus Tower (42)
Ji Xiao looked at their receding backs, and suddenly seemed to remember something important, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Don't leave yet, I forgot to do something!"
Hearing this, the people who were called out did not want to turn around to deal with it, but then they thought, they have not yet completely left this place. If they don't deal with it properly now, what if the other party regrets it later and secretly troubles them? So, Yun Biqiu and others turned around reluctantly and asked stiffly: "What else?"
When Ji Xiao saw Yun Biqiu turned around, he took advantage of the moment he opened his mouth to quickly flick an unknown pill into his mouth. The pill melted immediately after entering his mouth and disappeared without a trace.
Yun Biqiu sensed something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth and swallowed his saliva. Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, his slightly trembling hands betrayed his true feelings.
With a hint of fear in his voice, he asked: "You...what on earth did you just give me to eat?" As he spoke, he almost rolled on the ground in pain, and a thin layer of frost gradually appeared on his body.
However, Ji Xiao looked at him innocently and replied, "Oh, that's Bi Cha! But don't worry, it's just a weakened version of Bi Cha that I carefully improved.
Although there will still be some corresponding symptoms, at least you won’t die so quickly!” Her tone was relaxed and playful, and she seemed to have no guilt for what she had done.
At this moment, Shi Shui, who had been following silently by the side without saying a word, witnessed everything that was happening in front of him and felt that everything that happened today was extremely ridiculous.
Therefore, even though Monk Yun was writhing and groaning in pain, she remained indifferent and was too lazy to even say a word of comfort. She just stared at him quietly for a moment, then resolutely turned around and left.
At the same time, she took off the token that symbolized the status of Baichuanyuan and threw it casually. The token fell beside Monk Yun. Then she walked towards the gate of the courtyard without looking back.
Seeing this, Qiao Wanwan was extremely anxious and shouted loudly: "Shi Shui, are you also going to betray Baichuan Courtyard?"
"That's right, Wanwan, see you later." Shi Shui didn't even look back and walked straight towards the door.
When Shi Shui gradually walked away and his figure disappeared, Qiao Wanwan turned around and questioned Ji Xiao with sharp eyes: "Miss, how could you be so cruel and vicious?"
"Haha... I'm cruel? I'd like to ask Miss Qiao, when Xiangyi was poisoned, you didn't react so violently, so why are you doing this now?
Besides, what face and position do you have to question me? The poison that Yun Bhikkhu was poisoned with was not even half of what Xiangyi was poisoned with back then, and he hasn't even said a word yet, so what right do you have to intervene and speak up for him?" Ji Xiao sneered and retorted.
"You...you are clearly being unreasonable and making specious arguments!" Qiao Wanwan was so angry that her face turned red, but she was speechless for a moment.
"Miss Qiao, I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
At this time, Monk Yun, who had experienced a severe pain, struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi expressionlessly, without saying a word, and turned around and left with the rest of the people.
After everyone had gone far away, Li Xiangyi finally smiled, gently took Ji Xiao's hand and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, thank you for venting my anger just now. If you weren't here, I'm afraid I would really let them go so easily."
Ji Xiao also smiled gently, turned her head and stared at Li Xiangyi and replied softly: "We are husband and wife, so why should we be so formal. Besides, you are my husband. If I don't feel sorry for you, who else can I feel sorry for?"
After hearing this, Li Xiangyi looked at Ji Xiao with a silly smile, and said narcissistically: "Well, of course you only feel sorry for me."
After a moment, he suddenly became curious and asked, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, I saw you emit two forces just now. I know that one of them is caused by the green tea, but what is the other one?"
"Well... I'm not too sure myself! I just picked it up just now, just to make up the number. It's not a powerful poison anyway. But I guess they will be uncomfortable for a while in the next few days." Ji Xiao answered in a relaxed tone.
Li Xiangyi nodded slightly, kissed Ji Xiao's forehead softly, and then said softly: "Okay, since those irrelevant people have left.
I will ask the old housekeeper to bring some people over to clean up the place later. You can arrange it as you like. Even if you can't think of anything to do for the time being, it doesn't matter if you leave it empty."
Ji Xiao obediently let Li Xiangyi hold her hand and leave together. At this moment, she was concentrating on thinking about how to use these two courtyards.
After they returned to the small building, Ji Xiao excitedly suggested: "Xiang Yi, why don't we write a letter to ask the owner of Jishiditang to send some people over and open another Jishiditang here!
Let's choose Baichuan Courtyard, after all, it's spacious and has enough space to display. As for the house that the old housekeeper is looking after, let it be idle for now and make plans when we have better ideas in the future."
"Okay, everything is up to you. Whatever you want, I will listen to your advice." Li Xiangyi responded gently.
