Chapter 198 - 198 Chao Bai's Change
198 Chao Bai’s Change
When Nie Yin heard Nie Lin’s explanation, he realized that Nie Lin had been looking for him.
But why couldn’t Nie Yin contact Nie Lin when they were so close?
Nie Yin told Nie Lin about his doubts and said that he didn’t kill Zi Xuan, and the entire process of strange things happening to the guards.
Nie Lin listened to Nie Yin’s explanation. After a long time, he said, “You’re saying that there’s something wrong with that pair of siblings?”
Nie Yin nodded heavily. “Yes! First Elder, where did you find that pair of siblings? Also, you didn’t take the medicinal pills they left behind, right?”
Nie Yin suddenly remembered that Nie Lin had asked the siblings to refine pills.
If there was really something wrong with that pair of siblings, what the First Elder said might be the truth!
Perhaps the First Elder really had some hidden illness…
Nie Yin looked at Nie Lin with confusion and concern.
Nie Lin didn’t want to say much about being poisoned. After all, it wasn’t a glorious thing.
However, if there was really something wrong with that pair of siblings, wouldn’t he…
Nie Lin suddenly stood up and instructed the guards outside fiercely, “Go! Find that damn pair of siblings! Even if you have to turn the entire Imperial Capital upside down, find them!”
Nie Lin’s angry expression made Nie Yin frown.
From the looks of it, Nie Lin seemed to be hiding something else?
Nie Yin felt dizzy. Before Nie Lin could finish venting, his vision darkened and he fainted.

Kong Rui instructed the procuress to get someone to clean up the smashed flower pots and temporarily seal the room.
When the procuress walked into the room and saw the situation inside, she immediately felt a little baffled.
She clearly saw Pavilion Master Zi Xuan and the new master enter this room together. Why did Pavilion Master Zi Xuan suddenly disappear? Even if she was really dead, there should be a corpse! The fight in the room was so loud, but when she came in, only a flower pot was shattered? Could it be that Pavilion Master Zi Xuan had escaped from somewhere?
It seemed that the new master was more powerful!
With respect, the procuress led a few servants to start cleaning the room. After putting everything in place, she sealed the room.
Kong Rui took off her bamboo hat and stretched before turning to look at Chao Bai, who was sitting on the other side. “Why did you suddenly disappear today?”
Chao Bai also took off the veiled hat and stared at Kong Rui. After a while, he said, “When are we leaving?”
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment before asking Chao Bai in confusion, “Leave? Where to?”
“You said that you would follow me after you finished your business.” Chao Bai repeated Kong Rui’s promise.
Kong Rui didn’t intend to quibble. She only said guiltily, “Can you give me some more time?”
“I hope to avenge Kong Niang and fulfill those people’s last wishes,” Kong Rui said softly, as if she was afraid that Chao Bai would reject her.
Chao Bai stared at Kong Rui, as if he was scrutinizing her or thinking about something.
Kong Rui wasn’t in a hurry to ask. She simply let Chao Bai stare at her.
After a while, Chao Bai said again, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui blinked in surprise. She didn’t expect Chao Bai to stay and accompany her.
However, Kong Rui felt that there was something different about Chao Bai after he returned this time.
She didn’t know what had happened, but it seemed that Chao Bai didn’t want to talk about her.
The two of them didn’t get to say much before they heard a commotion outside.
Kong Rui frowned slightly and placed the veiled hat on her head as she said, “There’s always so much chaos!”
As Kong Rui spoke, she walked out.
Chao Bai’s expression darkened as he watched Kong Rui leave. He didn’t look as relaxed as before.
