The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#685 - Little Tail

Lu Jing listened to the woman's cursing, but his gaze fell on the wrist of her left hand.

There was a jade bracelet there.

After a while, Xia Huai and Hong Zhu also arrived.

Lu Jing asked Hong Zhu, "Take a look, is that her bracelet?"

Hong Zhu tried hard to see, but unfortunately, because she was too far away, and she didn't have Lu Jing's eyesight, she couldn't see very clearly.

Seeing this, Lu Jing said, "Let's go up and take a look."

"Go up? How do we go up?"

Before Hong Zhu could finish speaking, Xia Huai had already lifted her waist again, and then her whole body rose from the ground as if riding on clouds.

Xia Huai first stepped on a doorpost, then exerted force with her right hand, gently pushing Hong Zhu onto the lintel, while she herself fell down.

But just then, she quickly reached out her left hand and grabbed the carving next to the doorpost.

Then her body swung up again, and in the blink of an eye, she was standing on the lintel with Hong Zhu.

Her feet didn't stop, and she continued to leap to the third floor in the same way.

"What amazing Qinggong!" Yin Qing, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but exclaim.

Before his voice fell, Lu Jing also moved.

If Xia Huai, who was just now moving between the eaves and beams, was like a swallow, then Lu Jing now was completely like a cannonball.

His movements had no fancy at all. When he stomped his foot down, Yin Qing felt that the whole earth shook.

By the time he regained his footing, Lu Jing had already gone straight to the third floor!

Yin Qing was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The woman sitting by the window saw Lu Jing rushing towards her, but she wasn't alarmed at all. Instead, she smiled coldly, then reached out and pushed herself, her whole body falling to the other side.

The direction she chose deliberately avoided Lu Jing and Xia Huai.

At this time, Xia Huai was still dragging Hong Zhu, making it difficult to turn around.

As for Lu Jing, he was in mid-air with no place to borrow strength.

Most deadly of all, the people of the Three Tigers Hall, seeing Lu Jing and Xia Huai taking action one after another, had already retreated to the side and entered watching-the-show mode.

It was too late to help now.

However, just as the woman's body tilted and plunged into the air, Lu Jing suddenly raised a hand, and the next moment, something flew out of his sleeve.

It shot straight at the woman!

The woman was also taken aback, but at this time it was her turn to be unable to move in mid-air.

She could only watch as the thing shot towards her back.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt her flesh, but only pierced her clothes, and then pinned her to the wall.

Yin Qing finally saw clearly at this time that it was actually a small sword.

But having gained this moment, Lu Jing had already arrived, and with just one palm, he slapped her back into the house.

Then Xia Huai and Hong Zhu also went up to the third floor and entered the house together.

Because Lu Jing's palm wasn't aimed at hurting people, and even contained a hidden force to dissolve the impact of the woman's landing, she just stood up immediately and rushed towards the window again!

But just then, she heard a trembling voice, "Zeng Lang! Is that you?"

The woman's movements were frozen, and after a long while, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Hong Zhu.

"It really is you!" Hong Zhu also became excited at this time, pointing to the jade bracelet on the woman's hand and said, "That's right, I remember, it's this jade bracelet! There's a touch of crimson on it!"

"You originally said you wanted to give it to me, but I was being childish and didn't want it, so later you exchanged it for silver."

When the woman heard Hong Zhu's words, she actually stopped moving, and the ferocity on her face gradually faded.

Seeing this, Hong Zhu ignored Xia Huai's obstruction and walked to the woman.

She reached out and gently stroked the woman's cheek.

"I'm sorry."

She only had time to say these three words before she burst into tears.

On the other side, the woman also reached out a hand, clumsily wiping away the tears on Hong Zhu's face.

When Hong Zhu's emotions calmed down a little, the woman looked at her with expectant eyes and opened her mouth to say, "Go, go with me!"

Hong Zhu nodded, "This time, no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you."

Then the woman pointed to the window, "Leave from here, don't alarm others, as soon as the city gate opens, we will leave the city immediately."

"Okay, I'll do as you say," Hong Zhu said gently.

Hearing this, the woman took out a bundle of ropes from under the bed, tied it to the railing, and threw it downstairs.

She said to Hong Zhu, "I'll go first, you follow me, don't be afraid... just hold on tight."

After saying that, she took the lead, grabbed the rope, and slid down.

After landing, she looked up at Hong Zhu and said, "It's your turn."

After hearing this, Hong Zhu also grabbed the rope. Xia Huai wanted to go up to help, but Hong Zhu waved her hand to refuse.

She grabbed the rope, took a deep breath, and climbed down little by little.

Hong Zhu was not a Jianghu person, did not know martial arts, and was also a woman, so she climbed very slowly, and a lot of skin was rubbed off her hands, but she didn't say a word.

Finally, after a long time, just when her arms were almost out of strength, her toes finally touched the ground.

The woman hugged her, her expression very excited, and said several good words in a row!

After that, the two of them held hands and ran towards the west city gate.

Lu Jing stopped the procuress who wanted to chase out, and didn't let the people from the Three Tigers Hall follow, only he and Xia Huai hung far behind the two of them.

They were about to reach the city gate.

The woman suddenly stopped again, and then said to Hong Zhu, "Thank you."

Hong Zhu didn't react, and subconsciously asked, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for untying my obsession, now I can go in peace."

After saying this, her body softened, and then her whole body fell into Hong Zhu's arms.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jing and Xia Huai also quickened their pace and came over together.

"How is it?" Xia Huai asked first.

However, Hong Zhu did not answer, only staring blankly at the jade bracelet. The originally smooth jade bracelet was now covered with dense cracks.

As Hong Zhu reached out to touch it, it suddenly shattered and scattered all over the ground.

"It seems he's already gone... Madam, don't be too sad," Xia Huai comforted.

Lu Jing also said, "The deceased is gone, Madam, please mourn. In any case, you finally saw him off for the last journey."

Hong Zhu smiled sadly, "Is that so?"

However, she didn't refute, only swaying from the ground, gave Lu Jing and Xia Huai a salute, "I'm a little tired, if you two have nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Of course, this matter is over, Madam can do as she pleases," Lu Jing said.

After saying this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "The friend behind us has also followed us all the way, it's time to come out and meet."
