Chapter 777: Wedding Eve
So now, lie looked like a mummy, with every drop of blood drained from his body.
The first person Su Yingxue thought of as capable of such an act was Wu Dao!
“I’ve never heard of Wu Dao having a penchant for blood consumption! Could this be a disguised punishment from the Silver Moon Pavilion?”
Saint Ruan was curious. He crouched down to take a closer look. “Indeed, all the blood has been drained. That was suspicious!”
There were many ways to kill people. There were all kinds of cruel and torturous methods.
But this blood-draining method was unheard of for him.
“If it’s not blood consumption, then it’s a disease!”
Su Yingxue asserted firmly. “Wu Dao must have a severe blood-related illness!” “How do you know?”
Despite being bound to the Silver Moon Pavilion for so many years, Saint Ruan hadn’t noticed this.
“The way Su Jinxuan and Su Yurou died is the same. Both were drained of blood. They were just tools for Wu Dao!”
As things became increasingly bizarre, Su Yingxue seemed to have grasped a clue, but this thread of evidence was not enough to prove anything.
If Wu Dao was sick and needed blood, what kind of illness was it?
Would he be cured?
Su Jinxuan was dead, so who was his next target?
Was it her? Or someone else from the Su family?
This puzzle hung over Su Yingxue’s mind like a dense fog, and she continued to ponder it until the day before her wedding.
Unfortunately, there was still no news of Wu Dao.
Zi Wei, who had infiltrated the Silver Moon Pavilion, came back to tell her, “Wu Dao is not there.”
“So, is Hong Lian still in charge of the Silver Moon Pavilion?”
Zi Wei nodded. “Yes, she’s there, but she won’t talk.”
Although Hong Lian managed the Silver Moon Pavilion and could barely be called a Pavilion Master, all her power came from Wu Dao and another East Pavilion Master. Beneath them, Hong Lian was just a puppet.
Su Yingxue had tried to ask Chu Yihan about Hong Lian’s relationship with Wu Dao.
Chu Yihan said that Hong Lian was not someone Wu Dao would worry about. As for the other East Pavilion Master, he wouldn’t care whether Hong Lian lived or died. So she couldn’t use Hong Lian to lure out Wu Dao.
But she dared not let Chu Yihan know that Su Jinxuan and Su Yurou’s deaths were both at the hands of Wu Dao, and his next target could very well be other members of the Su family.
Chu Yihan was already busy with their wedding preparations, so she decided to wait until after the wedding to tell him about these matters.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Miaoyan knocked on the door and entered. She held a flower in her hand and behind her was Lin Sisi, who was dressed in armor.
Lin Sisi exuded an aura of strength, her eyes sparkling with vitality. When she rushed in, she was in high spirits.
“Dr. Su, congratulations!”
She clasped her hands together, smiling warmly. Her scarred face was exposed to the sun, but she did not look dispirited at all.
She still smiled beautifully.
Su Yingxue stood up and hugged Lin Sisi. The two of them chatted for a long time. Lin Sisi said that her training in the military camp and her little actual combat a few days ago had made her feel especially enlightened.
Under Chu Yihan’s permission, she had taken the military examination like a man. Now that she had become a great general in the military. If she could achieve military merit in the future, she wanted to become a great general, just like her father and ancestors, defending the country and guarding the borders!
When Lin Sisi spoke with excitement, she even lifted Su Yingxue. “It must be because of your frequent intercession for me that the Ninth Prince has been particularly gracious to me. He has guided me many times in martial arts techniques and military tactics. I want to be his apprentice, but since he doesn’t take disciples, I can only continue to address him as Your Highness as usual.”
