Chapter 292: Acting Battle
Xun Yu endured the pain, his face pale as he smiled faintly, "Miss Bai, it's been a while, I'm sorry for making you laugh."
Bai Yuwei furrowed her brows tightly, "Are you crazy! You clearly don't know martial arts, why did you rush over so recklessly just now? If my poison craft doesn't work on the bugs in your Central Plains forest, you're dead for sure!"
This was the truth. While Bai Yuwei was indeed powerful in Miaojiang, her grandfather had once warned her that the bugs in the Central Plains were different from those in Miaojiang, and her poison craft might not always be effective.
"It's useless for me to rush over, in the end, it was Miss Bai who saved me. A scholar is indeed useless, those words are true."
"Let's not talk about that." Bai Yuwei was most uncomfortable with the overly courteous manners of Central Plains people, as if they couldn't wait to kowtow three hundred times upon meeting.
She looked at his blood-soaked right arm, the cloth already torn, revealing a bloody mess.
Her eyebrows furrowed, "Such a deep wound, you're going to suffer."
Xun Yu smiled faintly, "It's fine."
Bai Yuwei pursed her lips, hesitating for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "I'll bandage you first."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, "Thank you, Miss Bai."
Bai Yuwei extended her hand towards him.
Xun Yu looked at her, puzzled.
Bai Yuwei lifted her finger, "A cloth, it needs to be clean."
Xun Yu responded and took out a clean white cloth from his bosom, handing it to her.
Bai Yuwei found the cloth too short, so she tore off a strip of cloth from his garment and began to bandage him, "You Central Plains people have too many manners. You're so strict about modesty between men and women, I don't want to go back to the capital and have people gossip about me."
Xun Yu smiled helplessly, "It's been a while, Miss Bai has changed a lot."
Bai Yuwei tied the cloth into a tight knot, "I'm just adapting to local customs. It should hold until your bodyguard comes looking for you. By the way, did you come into the forest to hunt alone? Without your bodyguard?"
Xun Yu replied, "I did bring them, but I was worried they might disturb Miss Bai, so I didn't let them follow."
Bai Yuwei spoke coldly, "The Xun family and the Governor's Mansion are not on good terms. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Xun Yu closed his eyes, ready to submit, "If it can ease Miss Bai's anger, Xun Yu's life is yours to take."
Bai Yuwei decisively drew the dagger from her waist and pressed it against his neck.
The cold blade's aura, filled with killing intent, slowly seeped into his body.
Xun Yu showed no resistance at all.
Bai Yuwei stood up, "Go!"
Xun Yu opened his eyes and looked at her steadily, "Miss Bai..."
Bai Yuwei tightened her grip on the dagger, "Don't act out a self-torture scene in front of me! I'm not some ignorant Miaojiang heiress! Your seventh brother kidnapped Zhaozhao, and he wants to gamble his life with my sister-in-law! You're all in this together!"
Xun Yu shook his head anxiously, "Miss Bai, let me explain, that night was truly not my idea—"
Bai Yuwei interrupted him, her dagger coldly pointed at him, "I don't care about the grudge between your families, but you shouldn't involve innocent family members. You're even willing to use a blameless child; you're lower than beasts!"
Xun Yu's expression turned serious, "Miss Bai, how could I possibly harm a child? To be honest, Lu Yuan is my father's adopted son. There may have been a misunderstanding between him and my father, but I've never been involved in their dispute! I knew nothing about that night's events! I can swear to heaven—"
Bai Yuwei cut him off harshly, "Enough! I don't want to listen!"
Xun Yu asked sadly, "Miss Bai, what must I do for you to believe me?"
Bai Yuwei clenched her teeth, "I won't believe you! Not a single good person in the Xun family! I won't fall for it again!"
Xun Yu looked at her, hurt.
Suddenly, as if making a significant decision, he resolutely stood up and walked towards Bai Yuwei, grabbing her wrist and forcefully stabbing the knife in her hand towards his chest!
Bai Yuwei's face paled, and she slapped him away, "You're crazy!"
Xun Yu stumbled and collided with the big tree behind him, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He covered his chest, weakly asking, "You can't bear to hurt me... You trust me... Right?"
Bai Yuwei retreated a few steps, the dagger in her hand silently slipping from her grasp.
Her eyes flashed with intense struggle, and her eyes gradually turned red, "No... You're bad people... I don't trust you... I can't trust you..."
Xun Yu said sincerely, "You can trust me."
"No... No..."
Bai Yuwei shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
She turned her back, wiping away her tears, "Don't follow me!"
She fled without looking back.
Xun Liu appeared, "Third Brother, should we capture her?"
Xun Yu coldly smiled, "She's already wavering, a pure-hearted girl like her doesn't need complicated methods. The rest of the plan is unnecessary. Remember to lure that Black Bear far away, leaving no traces."
Xun Liu asked, "What about you?"
Xun Yu said, "Go after her."
Xun Qi frowned, "I'm worried about you going alone."
Xun Yu smiled faintly, "What's there to worry about? That little maid, Tan Er, got separated from her, and Meng Qianqian was tricked away by Tao Shiyou. She's probably with Wei Mingxuan, enjoying love's play after taking the love potion I gave her."
"Remember, no matter what happens, hide well. She's a martial artist, if you get too close, she might sense you, and all my efforts will be in vain."
Xun Qi nodded and took out a small bamboo tube from his embrace, "Take this signal bamboo."
Xun Yu tucked the signal bamboo away, adjusted his expression to look sad and dejected, and chased after Bai Yuwei.
"Miss Bai—Miss Bai, where are you—It's dangerous in the woods—Come out quickly—I'll send you back—”
"Miss Bai—"
"If you refuse to see me, I'll leave! I only have one request: let me see you safely back to the rear yard, and from now on, I'll never appear before you again!"
Behind the big tree, Bai Yuwei clenched her fists tightly.
Xun Yu took a step towards the tree, "Miss Bai, I know you're there. With your martial arts skills, you could easily shake me off. You're worried about me being alone in the woods, aren't you?"
"Miss Bai, I've never expressed my feelings to you before. What I'm about to say might be abrupt, but if I don't say it now, I fear I'll never get another chance."
"From the first moment I saw Miss Bai, I secretly swore that I would marry no one but you in this life."
"Miss Bai, my feelings for you are true. If you mind that I'm from the Xun family, I'm willing to give up my identity as a Xun family member for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuwei, tears streaming down her face, emerged from behind the tree, "Don't come any closer!"
"Miss Bai..."
Bai Yuwei took down the large bow from her back, drew an arrow from the quiver, nocked it, and aimed at him, "Take one more step, and you'll regret it!"
Xun Yu resolutely took a step forward.
Bai Yuwei raised her head, and an arrow flew towards his head.
Something exploded, covering him in debris.
He looked up and saw Meng Qianqian standing on a branch, smiling at him.
Xun Yu's face changed, and he turned to run.
Meng Qianqian leaped down, grabbing him and stuffing him into a bag!
Little Bai: This family, without me, will fall apart.
Dog-beating ticket, anyone?
