nXue Batian was heavily injured and unconscious. If it was in the past, the Duke’s estate would definitely have lost its backbone and become a mess. Very soon, the enemy would take advantage of the situation and the Emperor would take back Xue Batian’s authority.

nHowever, Xue Fanxin picked up the mantle. She sent out a series of orders to stabilize the Duke’s estate. Everyone followed her orders.

nXue Fanxin got someone to find a sharp dagger and disinfected it before using it like a scalpel. She operated on Xue Batian with difficulty. Due to the scarcity of herbs and lack of equipment, the procedure was quite difficult. If not for her rich clinical surgical experience, she would not have been able to save Xue Batian at all.

nYi Tian, who was standing by the side, had unknowingly become Xue Fanxin’s assistant. From time to time, he would hand her something or help her with something. At first, he was not familiar and was clumsy in doing things, but soon, he got the hang of it. Seeing Xue Fanxin’s exquisite medical skills, he was shocked and amazed.

nSuch medical skills and techniques were not something that could be learned in a day or two.

nXue Fanxin, what kind of person are you? How many secrets do you have?

nWhile Xue Fanxin was busy saving Xue Batian’s life, Li Yaoyao took this opportunity to run out of Duke’s estate to do her own things.

nShe no longer counted on the Duke’s estate, so she did not care about Xue Batian’s life at all. On the contrary, she felt that his death would be even better.

nThe day after tomorrow was the poetry gathering banquet hosted by His Highness the Third Prince. She had not prepared anything yet. If she did not dress well that day, she would be unable to suppress the crowd and charm the Third Prince’s attention.

nIt just so happened that Xue Batian was heavily injured today, so the people in the estate had no time to care about her. She could secretly take out the valuable items she had hidden away to pawn and trade for some silver to buy clothes and accessories.

nBut when she came out of the pawnshop, she was suddenly knocked out from behind. Then, she was quickly carried to a deserted alley before disappearing. When she woke up, she realized that she was in a secret room. In front of her was a huge screen, and on the other side, there was a faint silhouette of a person sitting. Judging from the figure, it should be a man.

n“You?” Li Yaoyao slowly got up from the ground and looked at the person behind the screen suspiciously. She didn’t dare to barge in easily.

n“Do you want to crush Xue Fanxin under your feet? Do you want to marry the Third Prince, Ye Chenping? Do you want to become the Empress of the Nanling Empire?” The man behind the screen suddenly shot a series of questions, his tone carrying an awe-inspiring and domineering air.

nFacing such a powerful superior, Li Yaoyao found it difficult to even breathe. Her mind was in a mess. For some reason, she obediently told him what was on her mind, “I want to crush Xue Fanxin beneath my feet. I want to marry the Third Prince and become the Empress of the Nanling Empire.”

n“Very good. As long as you help me, I promise to make your dream come true.”

n“What is it?”

n“Help me find the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel. I’ll let you fulfill all your wishes.”

n“Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel? What’s that?” Li Yaoyao couldn’t understand why this mysterious man asked her to carry out his task.

nShe was only an insignificant cousin of the Young Miss of the Duke’s Estate. Without any ability, how could she help him?

n“A palm-sized circular wheel hidden in the Duke’s estate. Find it for me. In order to express my sincerity, I’ll give you a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a cultivation technique.”

nFollowing the man’s words, a small medicine bottle and a book appeared beneath Li Yaoyao’s feet. On the book were the words: Blood Toxin.

nIf she could become a warrior, she would not be afraid even without the backing of the Duke’s estate.

n“Xue Fanxin, I’m going to kill you soon..”
