Die Wu looked at Xie Yuquan with a puzzled expression, her last words filled with a resolute look that represented her determination.
Xie Yuquanâs eyes revealed a complex emotion, "Die Wu, I naturally know your intentions and I also know that Jing Wu truly loves you and can protect you for a lifetime."
"Otherwise, he wouldnât have confronted that Dao Sect disciple to protect you, and after his Dantian was destroyed, he still took care of you without leaving your side. Such a man is truly the right match for you."
"Then father, what do you mean by this..."
Die Wuâs face was full of confusion as she looked at Xie Yuquan.
"Die Wu, you asked me earlier why you had not seen your mother, didnât I tell you she was in seclusion?"
Xie Yuquan looked at Die Wu, who nodded and said, "Yes, what does this have to do with my mother?"
"Actually, your mother isnât in seclusion at all; she has been unconscious due to being poisoned."
As soon as Xie Yuquan spoke, Die Wuâs gaze became stunned.
"Poisoned? How is that possible? Mother is a high-level practitioner of the Hua Yuan Realm; how could she be poisoned? And even if she was poisoned, canât our Jiu Hua Sect cure it?"
"The poison your mother contracted is no ordinary poison; itâs extremely potent. Despite trying everything, I canât cure it, nor can I wake your mother."
Xie Yuquan sighed.
"Father, who would dare do such a thing? Itâs despicable."
Die Wu exclaimed angrily.
"The poison was given by the Second Elder!"
"What? The Second Elder? How could this be?"
Die Wu was shocked once more, her face a picture of dismay.
"Yes, it was he who administered this unique poison to your mother. Itâs precisely because he did so that I was forced to use all of the Jiu Hua Sectâs resources to push Bai Yu to advance to his current realm in such a short time, and even agreed to your marriage with Bai Yu. If I hadnât done this, your mother might have already died."
Xie Yuquan sighed, his eyes filled with a helpless look.
"This Second Elder is despicable. How could he do such a thing? Do the other Elders know about this?"
Die Wu said indignantly.
"Those fellows have all been bought off by the Second Elder; otherwise, he wouldnât dare to be so audacious as to poison your mother. Itâs just unfortunate that the Grand Elder has entered closed-door seclusion, and itâs unknown when he will come out."
"For your motherâs well-being and the stability of the entire Jiu Hua Sect, I had to compromise. Otherwise, I would definitely kill him myself!"
Xie Yuquanâs eyes flickered with a cold glint as he spoke coldly.
"Father, Iâm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Die Wuâs eyes briefly showed a hint of guilt as she looked at Xie Yuquan.
"You donât need to say that; itâs my fault for not being a good father, putting you through this. But rest assured, as soon as the Second Elderâs poison is cured from your mother, I will immediately take down both the Second Elder and Bai Yu, allowing you and Jing Wu to be together again. It just might be a bit hard on you for a while."
"Donât worry, father, I wonât feel wronged, as long as my mother is fine, I can endure anything."
Die Wu shook her head.
Meanwhile, in another room of the Jiu Hua Sect, the Second Elder and Bai Yu were sitting together.
"Thank you, Master, for making my wish come true!"
Bai Yu looked at the Second Elder with a grateful expression.
"Since you are my disciple, I naturally have to support you. Once you marry Die Wu, you will be the future Sect Leader of Jiu Hua Sect. It wonât be long before the Jiu Hua Sect is ours, Master and disciple together."
The Second Elderâs mouth curved into a sinister smile.
"Will the Sect Leader be alright, and what if the Grand Elder emerges from seclusion?"
Bai Yu said, looking worried.
"As long as Xie Yuquanâs wifeâs life is in my hands, he wonât dare to do anything. Even if the Grand Elder emerges, thereâs no need to worry. Someone will handle him. However, on the wedding day, you must have Hou Jingwu completely eliminated."
The Second Elder spoke.
"Why wait until then? I wish that guy would just die right now." Bai Yuâs eyes gleamed fiercely.
"After all, he is Xie Yuquanâs favorite disciple and the man Die Wu loves. Killing him now might cause problems and affect the wedding."
"Killing him on the wedding day wonât draw attention. Even if they find out afterward, the wedding will already be over, and everything will be set in stone."
"Master, you are truly formidable!" Bai Yu nodded.
A new day dawned, and Ye Luo left Su City early in the morning, returning to Zhonghai.
As soon as he got back to Zhonghai, he received a call from Hou Yaoyue, informing him that she had arrived in Zhonghai.
Subsequently, Ye Luo met with Hou Yaoyue, who was puzzled, "Miss Hou, what brings you to Zhonghai so suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
"Jing Wu is in trouble, and I came specifically to find you,"
Hou Yaoyue said directly.
"What happened? Whatâs wrong with Jing Wu?"
Ye Luoâs eyes narrowed, he asked in a deep voice.
Immediately, Hou Yaoyue recounted all the events that had occurred since Hou Jingwu left the Hou Family for the Jiu Hua Sect.
"Now, Jing Wu is being held captive, and we donât even know if heâs alive or dead. Moreover, Die Wu is about to marry Bai Yu the day after tomorrow. I think Jing Wu will be heartbroken by then."
"We are powerless, and my father even plans to take my elder brother to beg the Jiu Hua Sect to release Jing Wu. Even if Jing Wu is unharmed, watching the woman he loves marry someone else,"
"He will surely be in agony. I had no choice but to come to you to see if there was anything you could do?"
After Hou Yaoyue finished speaking, her gaze turned towards Ye Luo, her expression a mix of anxiety and apprehension.
Ye Luo frowned slightly, his eyes flashing coldly, "These Jiu Hua Sect people are really overbearing, doing such a thing."
"Donât worry, I will definitely rescue Jing Wu safely, and I will also ensure that he and Miss Die Wu are together. No one will separate them,"
Ye Luo said with conviction.
âBut I heard that the Jiu Hua Sect is very powerful. Wonât you be in danger? If it really doesnât work out, just forget it. You shouldnât be dragged down by this.â
Hou Yaoyue looked at Ye Luo with some worry.
âRest assured, no matter what, since Jing Wu recognizes me as his boss, he is my brother. I definitely wonât let anything happen to him. He has been bullied, and I am determined to help him settle this.â
Ye Luoâs expression was stern, his eyes glittering as he spoke.
Immediately after, Ye Luo left, heading straight back to the villa.
"Youâre going to rescue someone?"
As soon as Ye Luo returned to the villa, Luo Ji appeared in front of Ye Luo and spoke.
Ye Luoâs expression sharpened, then looking at Luo Ji, he said, "Your ability is really incredible, almost like mind reading."
"Take me with you,"
Luo Ji said indifferently.
