Untouchable Lovers

Chu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?" Had she heard wrong?

Coldly and mercilessly, she said, "If you’re not here for the bracelet, then why have you earnestly come here? To be scolded?"

Yue Jiefei felt somewhat indignant and couldn’t help but interject, "Can’t you spare others in your words? Junior Brother Jing did what he did because of his status, he knows he has wronged you. After falling ill all winter, as soon as he recovered a bit, he sent me to find you." Although he was grateful to Chu Yu, seeing how she mocked Tian Rujing, he still had to defend his junior brother. "His visit this time is... is..."

About to reveal something, Tian Rujing quickly interrupted him, saying, "Senior brother, you promised me."

Chu Yu glanced at Yue Jiefei with a grim smile and said, "It is his status, his destiny that drives him, but does that mean I can’t hate him? He has his mission, but who will return Rong Zhi to me?" She despised Tian Rujing; she had never liked anyone as intensely as Rong Zhi before, and before this, she had never harbored such clear and distinct hatred.

Yue Jiefei was immediately rendered speechless.

Again turning to Chu Yu, Tian Rujing’s face showed a trace of difficulty, and he slowly said, "I didn’t come to reclaim the bracelet. Don’t you always want this bracelet? I need to find a successor, and you know a lot, well-versed in the knowledge; becoming the successor is more than suitable."

This time, Chu Yu was genuinely shocked; she skeptically sized up Tian Rujing: "What are you plotting?" Could it be that he was using this clumsy excuse to trick the bracelet back?

Tian Rujing gave a bitter smile and said, "If you don’t believe me, you can make me swallow poison, and keep the antidote in your hands, not allowing me any tricks."

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment but still agreed to Tian Rujing’s proposal. After all, even if she could have Tian Rujing hacked to pieces, what good would it do, when her Rong Zhi could never return? Moreover, if Tian Rujing was willing to take poison voluntarily, it was even better, saving her the trouble of asking Guan Canghai to act.

She turned to Guan Canghai to request one of his more potent poisons, with the onset occurring within a quarter of an hour; if Tian Rujing could not do as he had claimed within that time, without the antidote, he would die from the poison.
