CHAPTER 1428: CHAPTER 1512: SHE LOOKED AT HIM LIKE A STRANGER

Qinghe sat in a chair, not hurriedly moving towards Dong Huiying.

He was thinking.

But you couldn’t really call it thinking.

Actually, his thoughts were now quite mixed, quite chaotic.

He couldn’t determine the identity of the woman on the bed or the ’maiden’. But even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, he didn’t want to act hastily.

He initially intended to wait until after secretly investigating then take action, but... the people he sent died. This made him realize there must be many skilled people hidden in that manor.

Anyone who can be by Qinghe’s side surely has extraordinary abilities. For instance, those he sent to investigate Dong Huiying were all highly skilled in martial arts.

Yet they died.

After one person died, Qinghe understood that if he insisted, many more people would likely die.

He was anxious to confirm Dong Huiying’s identity.

So he made this decision.

Have his people seize the opportunity to abduct that maiden!

After drinking a glass of wine, Qinghe sat quietly for a while, then slowly got up.

Dong Huiying couldn’t turn her neck, but her eyes glanced towards the direction the sound came from.

From her angle, the first thing she saw was a white garment.

The man had a black jade pendant hanging from his waist.

In the sight of vast whiteness, the jade pendant alone was black, and the carving on the pendant was quite fierce, giving a sense of oddity.

Until, as they drew closer, she gradually saw the man’s full appearance.

It’s him?

She had seen him before!

She blinked; it was the man whose Gu poison had flared up in the cloth store.

Why did he capture her, what did he want?

Was it because of the Mind-Bewitching Gu in his body, did he want her to help him resolve the Gu?

Thinking it over, this was the most plausible guess.

Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. She frowned deeply, feeling very frustrated.

Qinghe slowly sat down. He sat by the bed, gazing intently at her on the bed. She was wrapped in a thick mandarin duck quilt. He reached out to help her unseal her acupuncture points, but noticed her half-exposed shoulder, which caused his hand to suddenly stop.

With his index and middle fingers together, he pointed at her neck.

Dong Huiying gasped: "I say, when asking for help, shouldn’t there be an attitude of asking?"

Qinghe remained impassive, though he was momentarily surprised inside.

Dong Huiying’s complexion seemed a bit off: "I can indeed resolve the Mind-Bewitching Gu in your body," I shouldn’t have meddled that day. Just couldn’t resist muttering a few words, and I got targeted. Sigh! "But you can’t abduct me, my husband would be worried about me!"

She earnestly looked at Qinghe. After he had touched her neck, she could speak, her neck could turn, but her body still couldn’t move.

Looking at this strange, yet somewhat resembling the men in her family face, Dong Huiying felt a tug in her heart.

But she didn’t think much of it, only attributing this feeling to worrying about the men at home, fearing that they would worry about her and even go crazy for her sake.

"Let me go!"

Seeing that this odd man remained silent, Dong Huiying began speaking for herself: "Release me, I can help you resolve the Gu. But if you don’t let me go, then, sorry, I will absolutely not cooperate!"

Qinghe: "..."

She looked at him with unfamiliar eyes.

"You don’t recognize me?"

Sadly, Dong Huiying couldn’t move her body, otherwise she would have wanted to tug hard on her own ear. The moment he spoke, her ears inexplicably started itching.

She hesitated for a moment...

She missed her Second Master at home, this man’s demeanor was not only similar to Shu Yu, even his speech tone, cold attitude, were similar to Shu Yu in several points.
