"Master, you punished Di Tiancong like that and let him go just like that?" Little Black looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with confusion. It didn't fit the master's usual personality.
"I used an itching powder on him here so that he can enjoy some discomfort tonight. Killing him here would dirty the room," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied calmly. Killing Di Tiancong in this manner might attract some trouble, so it was better to let him suffer a bit and shift all responsibility away from themselves.
The three spirit beasts exchanged glances, knowing that things weren't as simple as they seemed. The master wouldn't easily let Di Tiancong off...
"Master, Di Tiancong is also a capable physician. Can he decipher this itching powder?" Little Black asked.
"If he can decipher it, then Yue Siqing's personal disciple will be his," Bai Li Hongzhuang said with a slight smile. The effect of the itching powder was indeed remarkable, making it an excellent tool for tormenting someone.
Yue Siqing might be able to decipher it, but Di Tiancong didn't have the qualifications to request Yue Siqing's help, so the outcome was already determined. Di Tiancong wouldn't live past three days.
With these words, Emperor Beichen and the three spirit beasts understood. Offending Bai Li Hongzhuang would definitely lead to a terrible outcome.
This method was indeed more appropriate than directly taking Di Tiancong's life.
"I heard that Lan Qingyan's injuries haven't improved at all until now. Her condition is getting worse day by day, and Lan Jingkuang and the others must be anxious," Emperor Beichen said slowly.
Since they arrived in Yue Tiancheng, Lan Qingyan's situation was no longer a secret. The news had spread quickly.
"It has been over a month now, and Lan Qingyan's right hand hasn't recovered. She must be losing too much blood, and her condition deteriorating was expected," Bai Li Hongzhuang said with a mocking curve of her lips. If Lan Qingyan's injuries had healed and the poison struck again, her condition wouldn't be this bad. Perhaps it was because even the heavens couldn't tolerate Lan Qingyan, so they allowed her to endure greater suffering.
"It's all thanks to White Lion!" Little Black and Little White both gave a thumbs-up to White Lion. The way White Lion acted that day was truly awe-inspiring. Even now, they couldn't help but admire it.
"Master, with this trend, will Lan Qingyan die?" Little White asked.
"No, with Yue Siqing's abilities, she won't be able to solve this poison, but she can still keep Lan Qingyan alive," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied. She was well aware that once the poison's effect subsided, Lan Qingyan would recover on her own. However, during this period, enough trouble would have occurred in the Lan family. She didn't believe that Lan Jingkuang had complete control over the family, suppressing any dissenting voices. As long as there were still opposition, over such a long period of time, the other side would be able to take many actions.
By then, when she went to the Lan family, the situation would be more favorable for her.
"That wicked woman should stay alive for now. We need to let her know what's coming before she dies," White Lion raised its head. It still remembered the satisfying feeling when it bit off Lan Qingyan's arm.
The next day, the people of Yue Tiancheng almost all woke up early because today was the day when the preliminary results would be announced.
