Novel Bin Chapter 29
Breaking Off The Engagement (5)
“Lady Bai, please.” Hong Qiguan marched up to Bai Ye with the city guards behind him. He oozed confidence as he knew Qing Xuantion was a well-connected man.
The three Mystic Warriors who came with Hong Qiguan surrounded Ji Fu.
Undoubtedly, the net Qing Xuantian laid was closing in on Bai Ye.
With the public narrative controlled, Mu Yunzhan was unlikely to interfere. Once Bai Ye was captured under the guise of reclaiming a lost fiancée, it would be difficult for Qin Ban to justify making a move.
Seeing how things had developed…
“Master, perhaps it is time?” said Yu Jiuchong’s bodyguard. They had been following Bai Ye since the start of her journey.
The bodyguard felt Bai Ye had been unquestionably outmaneuvered. Even if she was an oddity, there was no way she could stand against an army.
However…
At that moment, the bodyguard was shocked to see a bright smile on Bai Ye’s face despite the seemingly inescapable situation she was in.
The smile reminded the bodyguard of a blooming flower. Bai Ye was breathtaking in that moment, her youthful beauty captivating.

“This smell… It’s Devil’s Hay, White-Leaved Soul Grass and… Pink Skull Flower!” Someone in the crowd figured out the composition.
“What?”
Many knew about Devil’s Hay, a slow-acting poison. While-Leaved Soul Grass was a fast-acting poison and Pink Skull Flower was a first-tier elixir known for being highly toxic.
They were all goners…
According to the first-ranked master alchemist from the
Precious Alchemy
, exposure to the combined poisons was lethal. If one did not consume the latest antidote from the Precious Alchemy within the hour, death was guaranteed…
“Oh! This elder got it all right. I believe that was what Master Qin said when he gave me the poison capsule and antidote,” Bai Ye said innocently with a smile. The crowd let out a gasp of horror, followed by a collective sigh of relief.
The fact that the poison capsule came from Qin Ban meant the content was genuine. They were all undoubtedly poisoned.
However, the girl had the antidote.
There was a chance for survival as the girl had the antidote! Hence, the sigh of relief.
