Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 269: Tearing Off the Mask



Yun Cangxue was keenly aware that if the Yun Residence were to collapse, even if Yuyu were to return, both mother and daughter would be like homeless dogs, and their days would be a thousand times harder than they were now.

In these past three days, Yun Cangxue often thought of confessing to her father, Yun Bahe. She still harbored a glimmer of hope that her father, who loved her the most, would offer leniency if she explained that she was coerced.

However, the man from Blood Hand Ditch was like a persistent ghost.

He appeared in her room unnoticed that very night, bringing along a severed finger of Tang Yu.

"Third Miss Yun, you are a clever person. You must understand that if you speak carelessly, Young Master Tang will pay with his life," Yun Cangxue was so frightened at that moment that she turned pale and dismissed the idea of confessing.

"It's impossible; in a few days' time, during the competition, my father will surely lose without doubt, and once Father loses, the Yun Residence will collapse. I cannot just sit and wait for doom; I must go find Yuyu," Yun Cangxue thought until her head was splitting and finally stood up abruptly at dawn.

She searched her room, found several Purple Gold Cards and some jewels, and decided to flee the residence with all the valuable items.

"These are still not enough. There are treasures and Medicinal Herbs in the Yun Residence's storeroom that can guarantee a life of no worries for me and Yuyu," Yun Cangxue hastily took out the key to the storeroom and sneaked in that direction alone.

It was still early, and because of Yun Bahe's upcoming competition, the Yun Residence had been very quiet these days, providing the best conditions for Yun Bahe to maintain his state.

Outside the storeroom, two guards stood watch. They found it strange to see Yun Cangxue heading to the storeroom so early in the morning.

"Third Miss, it's early in the morning, and you want to enter the storeroom?" The guards found it odd, noticing that the Third Miss's complexion wasn't good.

"Father will have his competition in a few days, and I want to take some Medicinal Herbs to nourish his body," Yun Cangxue forced a smile and squeezed out a grin.

The two guards did not ask any further questions and opened the storeroom door, going inside.

The storeroom of the Yun Residence was the place where most of the treasures were stored.

All kinds of rare treasures and precious Medicinal Herbs accumulated over the years by the Yun Residence were hidden here.

As Yun Cangxue had been the steward of the residence for years, Yun Bahe had entrusted her with the key to the storeroom.

The other key to the storeroom was in the hands of Uncle Yun.

Yun Cangxue took out two storage rings from her person.

She gritted her teeth and stuffed the precious Medicinal Herbs and several Purple Gold Cards from the storeroom into them.

Within a short while, the storeroom was nearly emptied out.

Almost ninety-nine percent of the Yun Residence's savings had fallen into Yun Cangxue's hands.

"Father, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, my second brother became a Hunter Soldier, and my eldest brother betrayed the Yun Residence for a woman. These family properties will be mine and Yuyu's sooner or later," Yun Cangxue thought after she had raided the storeroom, then turned to leave.

Little did she know, just as she left, she saw Yun Sheng and Uncle Yun standing outside the storeroom.

"Third Miss... you... It turns out that the little miss was right; you really did harm the master!" Uncle Yun wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes; he could not imagine that the Third Miss, who was doted on by the master, would do such a thing.

Early today, Yun Sheng quietly entered the residence and found Uncle Yun.

Yun Sheng had also thought it over; she still had to inform Yun Bahe about the Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid, but she could not tell Yun Bahe directly.

After all, there had always been a rift between her and Yun Bahe, and if she rashly accused Yun Cangxue of poisoning, Yun Bahe would probably scold her fiercely.

After much consideration, Yun Sheng believed that Uncle Yun was the most suitable person.

When Uncle Yun heard this, he initially didn't believe it, but Yun Sheng let him go and confront Yun Cangxue directly.

Who would have thought, Yun Cangxue, failing to stand up for herself, actually planned to escape, and moreover, she intended to take away all the family assets of the Yun Residence, to flee from her crime.

This convinced Uncle Yun of the truth in Yun Sheng's words completely.

"Uncle Yun... Yun Song, you are but a mere servant. What right do you have to question me? Stand aside!" Yun Cangxue's face looked unsightly as she saw Yun Sheng appear, she already knew that her act of poisoning might have been exposed.

If they brought Yun Bahe here, she truly would have no defense.

"Third Miss, how can you treat your father like this? If he knew, he would be so heartbroken. If you are in trouble, just tell your father," Uncle Yun was in deep distress, still believing that Yun Cangxue must have had her compelling reasons.

"Trouble? Hah, does he even care about my troubles?" Yun Cangxue gave up all pretense, fixing a sinister stare on Yun Sheng, "Ever since this wretched girl returned, everything has changed. Father used to be so affectionate towards Yuyu, but now! Yuyu and I have been humiliated by this wretched girl, and he remains indifferent. That would have been fine, but Yuyu is his only grandson.

He has been raised in the Yun Residence for over a decade; how could his feelings not be stronger than those for a wretch who was driven out of the household initially? But what happened? Yuyu was exiled, and he remained indifferent." Yun Cangxue's words were filled with venom; she believed that all of her actions today were caused by Yun Sheng.

That day, when her father cursed at her and told her to get out of the Yun Residence, she had already understood that in her father Yun Bahe's eyes, she simply couldn't compare to Yun Sheng.

In the past, when her elder brother was around, it was like this, and now, with her elder brother gone, Yun Sheng reappeared.

"Third Miss, you have misunderstood your father," Uncle Yun still wanted to explain, "He was doing all of this for the sake of Little Master, out of good intent. Although being exiled to the northwest is tough, he has subordinates there. He has ordered them to look after Little Master all along the way."

Yun Cangxue's heart turned bitter, and then she laughed bitterly, "Look after him? If they truly cared, how could Yuyu end up in the hands of Blood Hand Ditch? He has no place for me, his daughter, and Yuyu, his grandson, in his heart."

"Uncle Yun, there's no need to say more. A doting mother tends to spoil her children. If you hadn't gotten involved with Blood Hand Ditch, there wouldn't have been so many issues. You brought this upon yourself. I advise you to go confess to Old General Yun early, and leave behind the assets of the Yun Residence," Yun Sheng had originally intended to hurry to the headquarters of Blood Hand Ditch herself. Although she didn't like Tang Yu, he shouldn't die at this moment.

However, Ye Beiming stopped her, saying that he would save Tang Yu.

After speaking, Ye Huli disappeared without a trace, leaving Yun Sheng uncertain about Tang Yu's current situation.

Since Blood Hand Ditch was subordinate to Dihong City, its strength must be formidable. Yun Sheng was not worried, as Ye Beiming's strength was unfathomable, but she just didn't know when he would return to Yujing.

"You wretched girl, what right do you have to question me?" Yun Cangxue heard this, her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes brimming with killing intent.

A surge of fighting spirit emanated from her, and with a flash, she aimed a strike at Yun Sheng's face. The palm strike carried the weight of a thousand catties, enough to shatter a huge rock if it landed.

She both hated and resented Yun Sheng - hated her for taking her place in the Yun Residence, and resented her for causing her and Yuyu to lose their place of refuge. She went for the kill with her first move.

"Third Miss! No!" Uncle Yun cried out in shock and alarm.
