375 Reason for the War

“What a cute girl.” Bai Ling had a look of fondness on her face as she picked up Xue’er to kiss her.

However, Xue’er covered her mouth. She didn’t want to be kissed by an old lady who wanted to steal her mother from her father.

If Qiao Yanhui was here, he would definitely be moved to tears. He hadn’t doted on his daughter in vain all these years.

When Bai Ling couldn’t kiss Xue’er’s little face, she was a little dismayed and turned her target to Xu Qing. “I’m not lying. My disciple is the emperor of the Nujiang Kingdom. He’s outstanding, isn’t he?”

Xu Qing was helpless. “Madam, I won’t be separated from Qiao Yanhui for the rest of my life. No matter how outstanding others are, it has nothing to do with me.” However, in the next second, Xu Qing suddenly realized something and asked, “Wait! Who are you talking about? The emperor of Nujiang?”

“That’s right. Are you regretting it?” Bai Ling was originally shocked by Xu Qing’s determination, but seeing Xu Qing’s reaction, she felt a little disappointed. It turned out that no matter how firm one’s love was, it would change because of power.

Bai Xian, whose ear was being held, wanted to say something to Bai Ling, but he didn’t dare to. So what if he was the emperor of Nujiang? If Qiao Yanhui was willing to, he could be the only king in the entire continent. He wasn’t bragging. Qiao Yanhui definitely had that sort of ability.

“The person you’re talking about is called Zhuo Wuyou?” Xu Qing asked again.

“That’s right. Zhuo Wuyou is a handsome young man! That child has been good-looking since he was young.” Bai Ling said with an infatuated look.

“He knows how to use poison? He even knows medicine?” Xu Qing immediately asked nervously.

Bai Ling was stunned. “Of course. That’s my disciple, so how can he not know? Unfortunately, he never uses it.” This made Bai Ling very dejected and feel that she had taken in this outstanding disciple for nothing.

“I wonder who forced that child to be her disciple back then. Then…” Bai Xian gloated, completely forgetting that his ears were still in Bai Ling’s hands.

Extreme joy beget sorrow and Bai Xian screamed again.

Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhuo Wuyou didn’t use poison. Otherwise, Qiao Yanhui would really be in danger. Moreover, she had never known that Zhuo Wuyou knew medicine, because there was never any herbal smell on him.

Actually, Bai Ling taking Zhuo Wuyou in as her disciple back then was an accident. She saw that Zhuo Wuyou was good-looking and was being bullied, so she wanted to help. She didn’t expect that child to be so smart, so she had designs on him. However, that child didn’t want to learn medicine. Even though she used poison to entice him by saying that as long as he learned how to use poison, he could poison those who bullied him, he was still unwilling.

However, this was the first time Bai Ling had taken in a disciple, so how could she give up? After she promised to teach Zhuo Wuyou martial arts, only then did Zhuo Wuyou agree. As for why he never used poison, it was because he had been beaten too ruthlessly one time, and coupled with the fact that he had just learned how to use poison and wasn’t proficient in it, when he finally took action when he was on the verge of death, he didn’t control the dosage of poison properly and those who bullied him died. What Zhuo Wuyou couldn’t accept the most was that he had implicated an innocent person. That person had always helped him secretly.

From then on, Zhuo Wuyou never used poison or medical skills again. His poison killed his only friend, and his medical skills couldn’t save his friend…

Xu Qing sighed before saying, “Madam, don’t you know that my husband is at war with your disciple?”

“I know.” After Bai Ling said this, she seemed to be tired, so she let go of Bai Xian’s ear.

Bai Xian was instantly grateful, but he received a look from Bai Ling, who was waiting to settle the score later. Then, he went to squat in the corner and draw circles.

Xu Qing wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to their relationship. However, when she heard this, she was speechless. Why did Bai Ling recommend Zhuo Wuyou to her? Was she doing it on purpose? Was she testing her?

“To be honest, that disciple of mine is a stubborn hopeless romantic. He actually started a war between two countries for a woman.” Bai Ling sighed and looked at Xu Qing meaningfully.

Xu Qing was stunned at first. He started a war because of a woman? Could it be her? So she became the reason for the war between the two countries?

“Madam, I don’t understand your words. There’s nothing between Zhuo Wuyou and me. I don’t have any romantic feelings for him.” Xu Qing couldn’t help but defend herself.

“Did I say that woman is you?” Bai Ling looked at Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing was rendered speechless and decided to remain silent.

“I don’t mean to blame you. That disciple of mine… Perhaps it’s because of his living environment since he was young. He’s stubborn and can’t understand certain things clearly. He knows that you have a family, but he still has designs on you. There are so many outstanding girls are around him, but he won’t even look at them and started a war over you. He’s too stubborn, but he’s also a pitiful person…” Bai Ling was filled with sympathy and frustration.
