Chapter 331: A Premeditated Assassination

“Si Mobai…” Feng Tianlan’s hand was scalded by his breath . She felt like the heat from her hand could reach her heart and melt down the wall around her heart .

“It’s my first time, and I’m not very good at this . If it hurts, you can pinch me . ” Si Mobai applied the medicine with even more care . He bent over and lowered his head to blow her wound .

Feng Tianlan looked away and swallowed every word she’d intended to say . She decided to just go with the flow . Perhaps things would actually turn out differently .

“Isn’t Your Highness supposed to be protecting her in the shadows? Just now, Tianlan very nearly…” Luo Yunzhu twisted her mouth and grumbled . She felt that if His Highness couldn’t protect Tianlan, then he shouldn’t have made such a grand promise . He claimed to be protecting her in the shadows, but where he was when they were in trouble? He’d only appeared after everything was over .

Feng Tianlan saw that there was no fresh blood on him, but the metallic smell nevertheless mingled with his usual minty fragrance . “You smell like blood . ”

“I was chasing some birds away,” Si Mobai quietly replied . He had come late, and Lan’er had been injured . So everything was indeed his fault .

Feng Tianlan frowned and looked up at the blue sky . “Do you mean those birds that suddenly exploded in midair?”

“My Lan’er is so clever . ” Si Mobai looked up at her, and the nervousness in his heart instantly disappeared . He no longer feared that she wouldn’t understand him and think that he was only full of empty words . He hadn’t expected her to connect the dots after making such an ambiguous statement .

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Luo Yunzhu was shocked .

“You mean this was premeditated?” That was Zhang Tiancheng’s first thought .

Chuling widened her eyes in complete disbelief . Something like that could actually happen in a place as large as the Misty Forest?

Azurite squatted down and picked up the faded flower that Feng Tianlan had thrown on the ground . After hesitating, she threw it into the Pill Scroll Realm . She decided to plant it when she had time . Perhaps it would be useful in the future .

“Was it Lin Suyin?” Luo Yunzhu immediately thought that Lin Suyin had done something untoward . Tianlan was her love rival, after all, so she was a natural person to point the finger at . She had a motive worth killing for and knew her way around .

Feng Tianlan looked at the scab on her hand’s wound . She was shocked by the effectiveness of the Blood Clotting Powder . “It wasn’t her . ”

Lin Suyin had purposely waited until Yunzhu was about to touch the Man-Eating Flower before telling her what it was . Still, she was undoubtedly not the mastermind behind this assassination attempt . Feng Tianlan could tell that Lin Suyin didn’t want her dead . For now, she was merely trying to get close to her .

“The Misty Forest is so huge . There are terrible dangers and Demonic Beasts everywhere, so who would do this? Don’t tell me that it was a beast?”

Si Mobai gently caressed the newly-dressed wound on Feng Tianlan’s hand . His heart ached so much for her . This hand had nearly been broken by that bite, and she must be in terrible pain .

“Somebody probably captured an eagle, then used a special method to fill the eagle with Spiritual force . Then, while the eagle flew, the Spiritual force concentrated and exploded once it reached a certain point . ” Feng Tianlan shook her head . She didn’t really understand the rationale behind this method . But when she thought about it, all these actions indeed were intended to do her harm .

Luo Yunzhu and Zhang Tiancheng exchanged glances . This method of killing was too high-handed, wasn’t it?

“If Si Mobai weren’t around, we probably wouldn’t have been so lucky . ” Feng Tianlan saw that Si Mobai had let go of her hand and thought about how Yunzhu had misunderstood him . She couldn’t help but try and defend him .

“Why?” Luo Yunzhu asked because she still didn’t understand . All she saw was that Wargod had come late, while Tianlan had nearly been eaten alive by the Spirit Severing Vine .

Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan, then made his way behind her to look at the wound on her back .
