Chapter 4: You are not worthy of the short sword

"I...you...what's wrong with your back!" Bai Yulang asked awkwardly and surprised.

"Are you asking about the new wound that hasn't healed yet? Or the old wound that has already formed a scar?" Bai Qianxi sneered.

"You..." Bai Yulang was choked and didn't know what to say. Thinking of the weak and sad look he saw just now, he was more certain of his thoughts. He snorted coldly and replied, "It must be you who bullied Yi'er all day long, vicious and cruel, so you were disciplined! If you were like Yi'er, well-behaved and kind, how could this happen!"

"Huh, this is really funny. If I were really like Bai Qianyi, you wouldn't have the Bai Mansion now!"

If the original owner really had the same personality as Bai Qianyi and had been bullied since childhood, she would have fought back long ago and would not have been punished to death.

Bai Qianxi felt sorry for the original owner. In order to gain the love of her family, she worked hard in everything and did not fight or compete for anything. However, she was framed time and time again, suffered from poor treatment and physical pain.

In order to win the favor of her brothers, she was obedient and pleasing in everything, giving them everything she had and getting the best things for them, but they gave their best love to Bai Qianyi.

These people are really blind.

"Bai Qianxi, what do you mean!"

"What I mean is, get out of my yard before I show my power!" Bai Qianxi lowered her eyes, trying hard to suppress the sadness that came from the original owner.

Bai Yulang frowned, thinking she was stubborn, and said sternly, "You must come with me to apologize to Yi'er today! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Apologize? Does she deserve it?" Bai Qianxi said, then suddenly stood up and rushed towards him!
Bai Yulang didn't expect her to attack, and he dodged quickly, but was still slapped and forced to retreat out the door.

His chest suddenly surged, and he tried hard to suppress it so as not to vomit blood on the spot.

"Hey... When did you learn martial arts!" Bai Yulang was shocked. Although she attacked by surprise, her moves were fierce and her movements were unique.

Thinking back to their childhood, she always pestered him to learn martial arts, and he always responded impatiently, but he never expected that she would have such skills!

Bai Qianxi did not answer him, but pulled off the short knife from his waist, "I made this knife with my own hands, you are not worthy of it!"

"Give it back to me, this is obviously Yi'er..."

"Before I do anything again, get out of my yard, and tell Bai Qianyi that if she wants to live longer, she should stop messing with me!"

After saying that, she locked Bai Yulang outside the door.

Bai Yulang, who was standing outside the door, looked at the empty space on his waist where the dagger had been hung, and felt as if something had been taken away from his heart.

He returned to Bai Qianyi's residence in a daze. As soon as he reached the door, he heard insults coming from inside the house.

"You little dog slave, do you want to hurt me to death? Come here, slap me in the face!"

"Third Young Master! Why are you standing here?" The maid's voice came from outside the door.

Bai Qianyi panicked when she heard the voice. She wanted to stand up, but the wound on her back was pulled. She took a breath and said, "Hurry up and take the person away."

The maid beside her helped Bai Qianyi put on her clothes, and then welcomed Bai Yulang in.

"Yier...what were you doing just now?" Bai Yulang looked at Bai Qianyi who was lying on the bed with scrutiny.

In my impression, she is a gentle and kind person, and she would never punish the maid for no reason.

"Third brother, why are you here!" Bai Qianyi's pale face showed weakness and she changed the subject.

Bai Yulang felt strange, but did not continue to ask, instead he asked, "Did you really buy the dagger you gave me before?"

Bai Qianyi was stunned and inexplicably nervous, but she still suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Really? Why did Third Brother suddenly ask this?"

"The previous one is lost. I want to ask where you bought it from so I can go find another one." "... in... in Tianxia Pavilion. I bought it when my mother and I came to the imperial capital a few years ago. But their items are all rare treasures, and you may not be able to buy the same one. If you like it, third brother, wait until Yi'er gets better, and I will find a better one for you."

"It's just... I'm injured now, and I knelt in the snow for an hour. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in a short time. But it's also my fault for angering my sister..."

As Bai Qianyi spoke, her eyes turned red and she looked pitiful.

Bai Yulang kept thinking about Bai Qianxi's words in his mind, feeling inexplicably irritated, until Bai Qianyi called him again, he came back to his senses.

"Um... Third Brother has something else to do, so I won't accompany you. You should take good care of your injuries. When you're better, Third Brother will take you out to play!"

"...Third brother, you..." Before Bai Qianyi could say anything, she saw Bai Yulang had already left the door.

She looked surprised, and then her eyes were gloomy. Bai Yulang had always responded to her requests. If it were in the past, he would have avenged her long ago, but he pretended not to hear it just now. How hateful!
Bai Qianxi, it must be that bitch’s doing!

But all this is irrelevant to Bai Qianxi.

Not sure if it was Cheng Shaozhi's doing, but Bai Yan ordered that no one should bother her, and as a result she had lived a particularly peaceful life over the past two days. After preparing the materials for separating the ambergris, she also took the time to prepare some self-defense poisons and detoxification pills. The wound on her back also healed quickly thanks to her special ointment.

On the third day, the carriage sent by Yu Bei arrived at the gate of Bai Mansion on time.

Bai Qianxi was sitting in the carriage, thinking about future plans, when the carriage stopped without her noticing.

"Miss Bai Wu, we are here."

The driver's voice sounded, and Bai Qianxi jumped off the carriage. The mahogany door inlaid with gold carvings came into view, showing its wealth and solemnity, with a gold-plated plaque hanging on it.

But what is puzzling is that the plaque is blank, without a single word on it!
"Miss, my master asked me to take you to the study. He will come over later." While Bai Qianxi was in a daze, a maid came over from the yard and said respectfully.

Bai Qianxi nodded and followed her into the study.

The ambergris was placed on the table in the house. Bai Qianxi didn't intend to waste time and quickly took out a special container from the medicine box.

The container is shaped like a water cup, but its capacity is three times larger than that of ordinary water cups. There is a partition in the middle of the water cup, dividing the cup into two parts, and a small round tray is inlaid on the partition in the middle, with gaps on both sides.

After Bai Qianxi put the things away, she took out the ambergris from the wooden box on the table and placed it on the container tray.

Then pour the purified liquid prepared in advance on top.

Suddenly, dense bubbles formed around the "Ambergris Wood" and seemed to be boiling along with the medicinal liquid.

Bai Qianxi observed the changes until the blisters became small and dense, then she quickly cut her palm, and bright red blood gushed out and dripped onto the "Ambergris Wood".

The originally boiling medicinal liquid suddenly calmed down, and the tiny bubbles wrapped in it were diluted by the blood little by little. When the originally brown "ambergris" reappeared, it turned into two sides of yin and yang, one gold and one white.

Bai Qianxi's eyes lit up with joy, but she didn't dare to relax at all.

The blood in the palm of the hand constantly washes the "Ambergris."

The sound of blood dripping could be heard as it fell along the tray into the two sides of the divided container.

As time passed, Bai Qianxi's face became paler and paler.

She weakly wiped the sweat from her forehead, blood still flowing on the "ambergris wood", but the magical thing was that the blood did not stop at all, but when it touched the wood itself, the color of the blood changed differently.

Bai Qianxi was delighted when she saw this, "It's done!"
