Standing next to Bai Ruozhu, Ao Song didn't know what came over her. She just felt that the man's gaze was too sorrowful, and couldn't bear it, so she reached out to support him. As a result, she misjudged his weight, and they both tumbled to the ground together.

"Miss!" Qingfeng and the others cried out as they were about to rush over. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly whispered, "Don't move around carelessly, the Poison Powder will get stirred up and you'll all get poisoned!"

Qingfeng and her group had only rushed two steps before abruptly coming to a halt. They weren't afraid of dying, but their miss was the closest to that Poison Powder.

Ao Song landed hard on her back, but her nose and lips hurt even more. Furious, she pushed at the man pressing down on her, Sangta. The fall momentarily snapped Sangta back to his senses. Upon discovering he was lying on top of a young girl, he realized he'd bumped into a place he shouldn't have…

His first thought was that he was done for, Ruozhu must have seen this!

Like being shocked by electricity, he hastily got up, but he forgot how weak he was at the moment. Moving too quickly, he fell back onto Ao Song again.

Ao Song was about to lose her mind. First, he bashed into her nose and lips, stealing her first kiss, and now, he boldly pressed down on her chest. She must have encountered a pervert!

Finally, snapping out of her shock, she kicked Sangta to the side. Poor Sangta, injured and weak, got knocked out cold by her kick.

"Prince Sangta!" Dujin called out anxiously, glaring at Ao Song angrily, "Miss, can't you show some mercy? He's already this injured."

"He, he…" Ao Song was at a loss for words, unable to explain the predicament. How could she openly declare that Sangta had taken advantage of her?

Thankfully, the dimly lit secret room, where not too many torches could be lit, made it so that those behind them didn't clearly see what had just happened, only Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun at the front did.

Jiang Yichun's lips curled into a sly grin. Good thing he was quick-handed; there was no way anyone was taking advantage of his wife!

Ao Song took a couple of deep breaths and got up, deciding not to say anything. Even if she was accused of having no sympathy, she'd accept it. After all, it was she who ended up saving Sangta, and she wasn't keen on anyone knowing she just lost her first kiss.

Thinking of her poor first kiss, young Ao Song felt like finding a corner to cry softly for a while.

Bai Ruozhu stifled her laughter, silently sympathizing with Ao Song, though she had seen it clearly. Ao Song could have chosen not to help Sangta; why she did was a question for her to answer herself.

She glanced at Jiang Yichun with a scolding look, this guy was so prone to jealousy, "Drag both of them a bit further outside, we don't want the others getting poisoned as well."

Jiang Yichun touched his nose, aware his wife was upset, he compliantly went on with the task.

Dujin, dragged outside, could move again quickly, but he still felt his Qi Blood flow was sluggish. Before he could inquire, Bai Ruozhu spoke to him, "This only temporarily suppresses the poison, for a real antidote I'll need to go back and prepare it."

"Thank you, Madam Bai." Dujin said, looking at Sangta, "Will the Prince be alright?"

Bai Ruozhu didn't get a chance to answer before Ao Song interjected unkindly, "He's been under the Dissolution Powder for so long, even if cured, he's almost a cripple. Martial Arts skills will be hard to retain, don't make things difficult for Sister Bai here."

Ao Song was filled with anger, finding Sangta annoying whichever way she looked at him.

Bai Ruozhu stifled a laugh, "Alright, let's discuss this later once we're outside."

The group retraced their steps, and Jiang Yichun called for someone to bring the mute girl along as well.

Approaching the cave entrance, Bai Ruozhu suddenly heard Xiaohei's roar, urgently warning, "Members of the Barbarian Beast Team are here!"

"I'll check it out!" Jiang Yichun said as he bolted outside the cave in a flash, drawing his sword at Le You's throat who was riding a leopard.

"Lord Jiang, please don't be angry! We came to deliver a message!" Le You said quickly, feeling that if he were a second slower, his head would have flown off.

"Speak!" Jiang Yichun said coldly.

Behind them, Yingwei jumped down from the wolf's back, knelt down with a thud, "We plead Madam Bai to save our Barbarian Clan companions!"

Jiang Yichun laughed, a particularly chilling laugh, "Looks like Sangji has begun his assault, and now you're here asking for help, where were you earlier?"

Le You's face flushed red, ignoring the long sword against his neck, he got off the leopard and knelt, "It was our ignorance, we are willing to accept penalties from Madam Bai and Lord Jiang."

"No, my brother always believed in Madam Bai, it's because of his anger at the clan that he went hunting in the middle of the night, narrowly escaping disaster," Yingwei hurried to explain, "Many members of the Barbarian Tribe trusted Madam Bai, they are innocent, and now they're being drained of their blood essence by Sangji, dying as a result."

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu and the others had caught up, her brows slightly furrowed. Was it their appearance that prompted Sangji to act prematurely?

"Why bother to save them? Helping you with all our efforts, only to find you protect that Evil Demon. Now that his evil techniques are unleashed, how many can be saved?" Ao Song said grudgingly, having put so much effort into crafting the Dark Symbol, only for it to be exposed. Some from the Barbarian Tribe even accused her of instigating Bai Ruozhu's suspicion of Sangji. Such people!

Gao Zhou said dispassionately, "Yes, there's nothing we can do."

He no longer maintained the facade in front of the old Nanny, though the medication would restore his throat in two days, speaking presently was highly discordant.

Le You knelt and frantically bowed, "I implore Madam Bai to save those innocent Barbarian Tribe members, I'm willing to atone with my life."

With that, he suddenly drew a dagger and stabbed it viciously towards his own heart.

"No!" Yingwei shouted, but it was too late. The dagger pierced Le You's heart, but soon, the resolute look on his face turned peculiar. He realized Ao Song had formed a hand seal, then understood that Ao Song had used a Magic Technique to block his attempt. Though his skin was pierced, the dagger didn't penetrate deeply.

Ao Song gave a signal, Qingfeng went over to knock the dagger out of Le You's hand, "Enough, don't make our miss waste her energy."

Bai Ruozhu came over to hold Ao Song's hand, saying, "Stop using Magic Techniques, take a good rest."

Ao Song's face was pale. Although filled with anger, her heart softened easily, unable to stop herself from saving Le You.

It was then Yingwei saw Sangta, who had been brought out last. Excitedly, he shouted, "Brother, it's Prince Sangta! Madam Bai saved Prince Sangta!"

Sangta drowsily opened his eyes, Yingwei tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Princess and her father also stepped forward to kneel, "We implore Madam Bai to save our clansmen!"

Dujin struggled free from his subordinates supporting him and went over to kneel, "Madam Bai, I know some have wronged you, but please save the innocent people!"

"Bai Ruozhu, please do me another favor." Sangta also spoke up.
