Chapter 2859 - 2860: He’s Not Dead

Chapter 2859: Chapter 2860: He’s Not Dead

Perhaps Ma Tongfang didn’t expect the Poison Master to die, or maybe he had prepared something else in the Capital City, or perhaps he didn’t know much about Bai Ruozhu’s intelligence, so the subsequent waterway was smooth without any incidents.

However, Jiang Yichun kept advising Bai Ruozhu not to easily return to her body, to wait until there was a state to return, which would be safer.

The poison on Little Dengdeng’s side has been cured, and the little fellow is lively every day, adding some joy to the journey, thus improving the atmosphere on the boat.

After disembarking, they switched to the land route. Although the journey was troublesome and exhausting, they finally arrived at the Capital City smoothly.

Bai Zepei had received the news and came to welcome them. Jiang Yichun informed him of the situation right away, expecting that Bai Zepei might lose control emotionally, but surprisingly Bai Zepei was extremely calm.

"You’re not worried?" Jiang Yichun was somewhat surprised; most people thought Bai Ruozhu was already a corpse.

"I can see her and hear her speaking," Bai Zepei said.

"What?" Jiang Yichun exclaimed, "Why can you see her when we can’t?"

This statement sounded just like a child asking why someone has candy when they don’t, making Bai Ruozhu laugh.

"Jiuli Clan Enlightenment Tablet." Bai Zepei uttered six words.

He had passed the Enlightenment Tablet test, with an extremely high Divine Sense and excellent talent, so he could see Bai Ruozhu, although the figure was quite vague.

Additionally, hearing her words was also unclear; he relied partly on guessing.

Bai Ruozhu knew her second brother was amazing, and now she admired him even more, knowing that even her senior brother Ning Yu couldn’t see her.

Moreover, having her second brother to translate was really convenient, no longer needing Xiaohui to teach Xiaohei, and Xiaohei to write or doodle on the ground, or her waking up once every few days and saying a pile of words.

"Sister Ruozhu!" Ao Song’s voice came from outside, Bai Ruozhu peeked through the carriage curtain, seeing Ao Song and Sangta riding over.

It felt odd that the little girl wasn’t riding Miao Tuo.

Ao Song rushed into the carriage, saw Bai Ruozhu’s appearance, and exclaimed, "Oh my, it’s worse than I imagined! Fortunately, coming to the Capital City was the right choice, as outside there’s no way!"

Sangta also tried to rush in but was stopped by Jiang Yichun.

"You’re not allowed to go in," he said coldly.

Sangta appeared helpless, "Do you actually want to save her?"

"It’s not you who’s going to save her," Jiang Yichun retorted back, "You only know how to keep Beast Pets, how would you save people?"

Bai Ruozhu was speechless, were these two going to start a rivalry mode again?

"I brought the Barbarian Clan’s secret book, maybe there’s a way," Sangta said proudly.

"I hope it’s not a harmful method." Jiang Yichun’s tone became cold again, as he had previously suffered from a blood sacrifice thanks to the Barbarian Clan.

This statement really silenced Sangta, who could only wait outside to ask Ao Song later.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked her second brother to explain to Ao Song, to prevent him from worrying.

"You can see Sister Ruozhu? Impressive, you have a spirit root," Ao Song looked at Bai Zepei and said.

Little Dengdeng leaned over, "Sister, what is a spirit root? Do I have one?"

Ao Song smiled and stroked Dengdeng’s head, "You have a spirit root too, but you’re still young and haven’t awakened it yet."

"So I can’t see mom, right?" Little Dengdeng asked somewhat regretfully.

"Right, but don’t worry, your mom will get better," Ao Song said.

Everyone felt greatly relieved; since Ao Song said it, there must be a way, the heir of the Hidden Family from the Western Regions had spoken, could it be wrong?

"Let’s go back to the Residence first and talk slowly," Bai Zepei suggested.

"No, directly take Sister Ruozhu to the Imperial Palace; she must stay in the Palace for the time being and live close to Yangxin Hall, the closer the better," Ao Song said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichun lifted the carriage curtain, "Why is that?"

"To receive the blessings of some Dragon Qi, facilitating the success of later rituals," Ao Song waved impatiently, "Even if I explain more, you won’t understand, just listen to me. The Palace doesn’t eat people, what’s there to fear?"

"Alright, I’ll tell His Majesty," Jiang Yichun replied.

"There’s no need, I’ve already informed him; just have the carriage drive directly to Yangxin Hall," Ao Song said confidently.

This surprised even Bai Zepei; this Zhong Family’s girl was so impressive, even His Majesty was giving her face?

Ning Yu had been staying under the carriage, seeing Ao Song disembark, he hesitated but stopped.

This was his master’s family’s younger generation, truly outstanding.

Unexpectedly, Ao Song turned and looked at him, "Are you the child adopted by Ning Ran?"

Ning Yu didn’t know why she called his master’s name so directly, unsure whether to nod or shake his head.

Ao Song smiled, "He didn’t die."

The three words detonated like thunder, even Bai Ruozhu was nearly knocked off her feet. He meant the National Master, it must be the National Master!

"You mean master didn’t die? Where is he? Why did he fake his death?" Ning Yu rushed forward to grab Ao Song’s arm, asking excitedly.

Ao Song slowly brushed away his hand, speaking unhurriedly: "People from the Zhong Family are naturally peculiar, and he is even more formidable, possessing a skill to come back to life. Of course, it’s not always successful, so who would use their life to test it for no reason? I just know he once encountered danger and died, but soon resurrected after being buried. I went to pay respects at his grave recently, and upon seeing it, knew he had come back to life."

Come back to life from a dead place? What is this? Like a phoenix’s Nirvana?

Ao Song said no more, mounted her horse, and led the way ahead. Sangta had no one to ask but could only join her side to inquire.

"Though she appears dead, she’s still alive. You can’t see her, but her soul can see us, so you should be careful with your words and actions. She’s surely watching you," Ao Song chuckled as she spoke.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but smile; was this little girl deliberately teasing Sangta? But she hadn’t realized Sangta was keeping close to Ao Song, speaking with a very familiar tone, something not seen among others.

She felt something might develop between Sangta and Ao Song and hoped they would realize their relationship soon.

The carriage, led by Ao Song and Sangta, entered directly through the Imperial Palace Main Gate, all the way to Yangxin Hall.

Tang Yin personally came to greet them and arranged for everyone to stay in the Side Hall.

Shortly, Tang Yin called Jiang Yichun for a private talk, while the Concubine Le also visited Bai Ruozhu. Seeing Bai Ruozhu’s pale face with no color, she was frightened until Ao Song reassured her that help was possible, only then did she relax.

Bai Ruozhu watched everything, feeling warm inside, how lucky she was in life to have such friends?

After everything was settled, Ning Yu confronted Ao Song.

"You said he didn’t die, so where is he?" he asked.

"How would I know? If he wants to hide, who could divine his whereabouts?" Ao Song spread her hands and said.
