“Enough already, as long as he’s alive, any kind of training is fine. Once I’m done with my affairs, I’ll surely help him find his parents,” Saint Ruan said as he gazed at Ningning, letting out a heavy sigh.
Ningning didn’t understand why he was troubled, but he didn’t feel that much danger, so he didn’t cry. Instead, his large watery eyes lingered on Saint Ruan, puckering his lips as if he wanted to speak.
Saint Ruan bent down and kissed his face, “Be good, wait for me to return, and I’ll find your dad and mom. You must fight hard to stay alive and not die at the hands of this shrewish woman!”
“Aw~”
Ningning seemed to respond to him, blowing a bubble with his saliva and breaking into a grin.
His smile was so endearing that it melted Saint Ruan’s heart, making it hard for him to leave.
Nevertheless, he hurried off toward Ruo Shui’s gates.
Geng Qingyan held the child and took him to the abandoned infant section of the West Pavilion.
They at Silver Moon Pavilion trained assassins but never engaged in abduction. The child assassins who were raised from infancy were either picked up abandoned or rescued from the hands of those seeking revenge; they were given a chance at life, raised, and only then did they serve the Silver Moon Pavilion.
But there were the unfortunate ones who could not grow into adulthood under the harsh conditions of Silver Moon Pavilion.
That too was fate.
Geng Qingyan had been in Silver Moon Pavilion for twenty years and was the first assassin personally trained by Wu Dao. She was also the elder sister of Chu Yifeng, Rong Sheng, and others. Even after Wu Dao died, Chu Yifeng did nothing to her but handed over the West Pavilion to her leadership, which was recognition of her abilities.
Just like Zi Wei, just like Shadow Chaser, they were all nurtured and trained by her.
This little guy.
Geng Qingyan would not show him any special favor just because he was sent by Saint Ruan.
Whatever the case, it would be so!
However, seeing as Saint Ruan owed her a life debt and begged earnestly, she personally bathed the child, removed his swaddling clothes, and changed him into the uniform of Silver Moon Pavilion.
But when she took off the child’s swaddling clothes, she found something hidden inside.
Saint Ruan probably hadn’t noticed because the item was sewn into the inner layer of the swaddling clothes; if it wasn’t taken out and searched carefully, it wouldn’t fall out.
The person who hid it was very meticulous.
Geng Qingyan examined the item and was surprised to find it was a golden token, and on it was engraved the character “Xiao.”
Geng Qingyan’s brows furrowed lightly as she looked at Ningning sucking on his fingers, “Xiao?”

Qiongzhou City.
When Chen Ruobai came to see Rong Sheng, she had already been fasting for four days.
Even though she was as frail as a wisp of air, the Rong Sheng that Chen Ruobai saw upon entering still resembled a coldly beautiful immortal from the heavens, not of this worldly realm, proud and noble.
Rong Sheng spoke slowly, her eyes unchanged upon seeing Chen Ruobai.
When Chen Ruobai saw Rong Sheng, a sense of admiration arose in her heart. There were few women she admired, and Rong Sheng was one of them!
She was different from her good friends Xiao Muyan and Xin Yi; her medical skills were exceptional, and she was incredibly proud. She seemed delicate, yet pride filled her entire being.
If it hadn’t been for Xin Yi’s great defeat, she would never have treated Rong Sheng this way.
She would have cherished Rong Sheng, treating her like an honored guest.
Because Rong Sheng possessed the absolute confidence that she envied but could never have herself.
“I’ve kept you locked up for four days. Don’t you hate me? Don’t you want to kill me?” Chen Ruobai stood in front of Rong Sheng, attempting to mimic Rong Sheng’s icy tone, but even then, her voice carried a seductive allure.
Rong Sheng looked up at her, “I’m not interested.”
She had never killed anyone; her medical expertise was meant for saving lives, not taking them.
Rong Sheng’s pride once again surprised Chen Ruobai a little, and she found herself even less willing to treat her harshly.
But she would never allow a traitor in her midst!
She offered Rong Sheng a pill, “Take this, and continue to stay by this princess’s side. I will grant you supreme honor, and even share with you a part of the glory at the pinnacle of power someday.”
Rong Sheng looked at the red pill in her hand, her elegant brows furrowing, “Why should I let you coerce me?”
“Because you betrayed me, and made me suspicious of you,” Chen Ruobai sat down in front of Rong Sheng, a beguiling smile spreading across her fair face. “Rong Sheng, I don’t know how you’ve been communicating with Ruo Shui, but the strategies between me and Xin Yi were not supposed to be known to others. I can’t find the reason, but only you could possibly betray me. I had thought that if you starved to death in these four days, so be it, but curiously, you did not.”
“You want to harm me based on your intuition? Do you think I’m a fool?” Rong Sheng spoke without subservience or fear in the presence of Chen Ruobai.
She would rather Chen Ruobai kill her with a single blow.
Chen Ruobai truly admired Rong Sheng, but she also truly had to guard against her, “Rong Sheng, this love poison is beneficial to you. Don’t you hate Chu Yifeng? The more you hate him, the more this poison in your body will bring you pleasure. You’ll dream of Chu Yifeng pierced by a thousand arrows, torn apart by five horses. Such a satisfying vision is something many women betrayed by men desire but can never have.”
Rong Sheng’s brows drew together even more tightly, “I don’t believe it.”
“Don’t be so doubtful!” Chen Ruobai laughed lightly. “Although modern medicine is powerful and can dissect the entire human body, aren’t there still diseases you can’t cure, people you can’t save? In our era, we may not have modern medicine, but have you not seen enough of my gu techniques?”
Chen Ruobai opened the window, pointing to the gu corpses outside, “Look! These are a batch of gu corpses I’ve just refined. They were all living people, still with their own consciousness. Yet, with my control, they act in accordance with my flute’s command. I’m still researching, trying to create gu corpses that can understand my speech.”
Rong Sheng was faintly alarmed, but as her gaze swept across the row of ghastly figures outside the window, she saw they were indeed alive: some had eyeballs still moving, some lips still trembling—all living beings!
Suddenly, she spotted the only different one among the group of gu corpses!
It was Chu Yifeng!
He glanced at her as if to say: Don’t hesitate, listen to her!
Rong Sheng stepped forward and closed the window.
She walked to the table, ate a few bites of the food Chen Ruobai had brought in, then approached Chen Ruobai and asked, “Are you sure this love poison has that effect, that it can satisfy me?”
Chen Ruobai’s lips curved into an alluring arc, “Of course.”
She opened her palm, tempting her, “Eat it, and as long as you hate Chu Yifeng, whenever you think of him, just close your eyes, and you’ll see him die a terrible death! Of course, this princess promises, I will definitely help you kill Chu Yifeng, to repay the pain he has caused you!”
“No!” Rong Sheng’s eyes flashed coldly, “If you capture Chu Yifeng in the future, hand him over to me.”
“You want to deal with him personally? That’s fine too.” Chen Ruobai was very satisfied with Rong Sheng’s hatred for the man.
