Rong Heng thought of Su Xinyu, his gaze cold and calm.
Although the poison Su Xinyu ingested was deadly, she would die too quickly, so Rong Heng kindly helped her detoxify it, then... administered another kind.
This poison wouldn't take her life immediately, but it would cause her vitality to visibly drain over time, and there was no antidote.
Gu Lan realized, "Is it the poison she gave your mother back then?"
Rong Heng was noncommittal.
Sending her to death in the same way she killed Xiao Ning years ago was far more satisfying than killing her swiftly with a knife.
A flicker of murderous intent flashed in Rong Heng's eyes.
Moreover... Su Xinyu almost killed Gu Lan with her schemes.
"She won't make it to Qingliang Temple," Rong Heng calculated the dosage and said calmly.
Such a person converting and taking refuge in Buddhism would be a desecration of the immortals and the Buddha.
