Leaving the thatched hut, Yunyi was relieved to find it had stopped raining. A person who believed in finishing today’s tasks today, she crossed the river and headed directly towards the Zhiqing Point.
In the dead of night, the sound of snoring drifted from the female educated youths’ dormitory. Yunyi was inwardly relieved that she had moved out.
She took out the Sleeping Drug she had previously found on Qiu Baolin and blew some into the room. Then, after some effort with her dagger, she managed to slide open the door bolt. Locating Qiao Yuxiang’s bunk, she lifted the unconscious woman and carried her outside.
With a few leaps, she reached the rear mountain.
Fearing Qiao Yuxiang would wake up and scream, Yunyi carried her deep into the mountains, stopping only when she felt certain no sound would reach the village.
Using her Inner Strength, Yunyi snapped off an arm-thick tree branch and struck the still-unconscious Qiao Yuxiang with it.
A sharp "AH!" erupted, scattering the birds in the forest.
Yunyi gathered her energy, leaped into a tree in an instant, and, altering her voice with her Inner Strength, asked, "Awake now?"
Qiao Yuxiang had been jolted awake by the pain. Dressed only in her undergarments, she shivered from the cold. The eerie voice terrified her, and she stammered tearfully, "Who... who’s there? Who’s speaking?"
Using her altered voice, Yunyi said coldly, "Answer my question. If you tell a single lie, you’ll stay here as fertilizer."
Although Qiao Yuxiang had been trained, she was, after all, a woman. The pain from her leg filled her with terror. "What... what do you want to ask me?"
Yunyi wasted no words. "Who is your master? Think carefully before you answer."
Though terrified, Qiao Yuxiang dared not betray her backer. "I... I don’t understand what you’re talking about?"
She had barely finished speaking when a branch pierced her wounded leg, making her scream again, "AH! It hurts so much!"
