Chapter 151 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (20)

“Young Lady Bai is right.”

Yaoyao felt that perhaps she had idealized Qi Jiayan too much.

Weng Quan and Tantai Ziheng were extremely fast, and the people who came to assassinate were not their opponents at all—they were quickly driven away.

Qi Jiayan looked a bit embarrassed, brushing off the dust from his body. He clasped his fists in gratitude, “Thank you, two young heroes, for saving me.”

Weng Quan smiled, “Young Master Qi’s reputation precedes him, it’s indeed an honor to meet you today.”

Tantai Ziheng’s eyes flashed, and he extended an invitation, “Young Master Qi, I believe that the rogues won’t just give up. Why not ride with us?”

Bai Tang lightly chuckled, returned to the carriage, and calculated that she would buy another carriage when they reached a certain place.

Qi Jiayan hesitated for a moment, then once again clasped his fists in gratitude, saying, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

Bai Tang didn’t expose him. She just watched Qi Jiayan perform as a righteous person, a renowned healer who traveled to save lives—what an excellent reputation!

His speech was polite, his actions were clean and decisive, and his expression was pure and gentle.

Just by looking at his face and overall demeanor, he must be a wealthy young master cultivated with a lot of manpower and financial resources.

Qi Jiayan entered the carriage, a bit reserved, and chose a seat further from Bai Tang.

After hesitating for a moment, he inquired, “This young lady is…”

Bai Tang interjected, “Surname Bai, given name Tang.”

Tantai Ziheng drove the carriage, always paying attention to the situation inside, while Weng Quan sat on the other side.

Qi Jiayan kindly said, “Young Lady Bai, I’m really not a bad person. I’ve never committed heinous acts or killed people callously. I’ve been practicing medicine all my life, and my greatest wish is to write a medical book, allowing more people to learn medicine and bringing more people back from the brink of death.”

Bai Tang: Do you believe that? I don’t.

Bai Tang smiled and said, “Young Master Qi, how many villains have you seen openly admit they’re not bad people?”

Tantai Ziheng’s face turned ashen, warning, “Bai Tang, you better be sensible. Young Master Qi is a righteous person, a peerless healer.”

Weng Quan remained silent, rare for him to witness Bai Tang targeting someone intentionally or unintentionally.

Could there really be an issue? 

Bai Tang spoke warmly, “Young Master Tantai, I advise you to mind your words. Yaoyao is currently reliant on me, and if anything happens, it might end badly for her.”

Tantai Ziheng retorted, “You! Hmph!”

If it weren’t for someone exploiting his weakness, Tantai Ziheng swore he would make Bai Tang pay.

Qi Jiayan interjected once again, “Young Lady Bai, you are companions, and Young Villa Master Tantai is your betrothed. Don’t let any misunderstandings arise because of me.”

Interesting.

Yaoyao was her nickname. However, Bai Tang’s words hinted that she and this Yaoyao were two different entities. Tantai Ziheng was the same, showing hostility towards this Bai Tang.

Bai Tang felt goosebumps all over her body. It was hard not to feel uncomfortable when hearing Qi Jiayan say such words. “Young Master Qi, you’re overthinking. Let me clarify two points. First, the engagement with Tantai Ziheng ended three months ago. Now, he insists on following me. Second, the discord between Tantai Ziheng and me has been ongoing and has nothing to do with you. Young Master Qi, don’t overthink it.”

Weng Quan silently remarked, “They’ve always been like this.”

Female Hero Bai didn’t seem to fear letting others know about this matter. Although not exactly resurrection, it was somewhat akin to it. Most people were ignorant and fearful, finding such things terrifying.

Tantai Ziheng coldly added, “The one who broke off the engagement with me is Bai Tang. The one engaged to me is Yaoyao. Yaoyao would never break off the engagement, it must be this poisonous woman pressuring her.”

Bai Tang, “…”

Yaoyao, “…”

Yaoyao apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Young Lady Bai. My situation has caused you trouble. Ziheng has misunderstood you too much. Young Lady Bai is genuinely a wonderful person.”
