Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 37
Chapter 037 Profound Maiden’s Purpose
Bai Junzhuo really didn’t expect that this Mysterious Lady would spontaneously ignite when she was angry. It seemed that she really had some ability.
Everyone in the surroundings was stunned by the fire around the Profound Maiden. It was Bai Junzhuo who came to his senses first. He turned his eyes around the Profound Maiden and noticed that her face was slightly red because of the heat and the sweat on her forehead.
So Immortals are also afraid of the heat?
Not long after, the fire on Xuan Nu’s body burned out. She slowly turned around and swept her gaze over the crowd with pity and contempt. Finally, she stopped on Madam Zou’s body. “Old Lady, this Scourge Lightning Flame has gathered the wrath of an immortal. It is a punishment for blaspheming your true self. This sovereign saw that you are old, but I took it for you!”
Even though Mrs. Zou was knowledgeable, her face was pale from fear from this profound woman. She looked at Jun Zhuo again. Could it be that this intelligent and capable granddaughter was really formed by a monster?
Xuan Nu bent down and picked up the sword on the ground, then turned to Bai Junzhuo and said coldly, “Demon, die!”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly took two steps back. He raised his hand to cover his forehead and glanced at Maiden Xuan. Suddenly, he felt that there were white spots on Maiden Xuan’s clothes. She suddenly widened her eyes. So it was like this!
She no longer dodged the attack of the Profound Maiden. Her left arm was struck by a sword, but she did not care about the injury on her arm at all. She extended her right hand to wipe the sleeve of the Profound Maiden and stained it with white powder.
Bai Junzhuo spread out his hands. This was white phosphorus! It was white phosphorus that only needed friction or reached a very low ignition point to spontaneously ignite. The temperature was not high and it did not hurt people, and it would also emit a blue-green ghost fire!
Looking at Bai Junzhuo’s expression, Xuan Nu estimated that her methods had been seen through. She rolled her eyes slightly, and before Bai Junzhuo could reveal this secret, a terrified expression appeared on her face. She raised her sword and muttered to herself, “Could it be … could it be …”
Bai Junzhuo frowned. He didn’t know what she was going to do, so he opened his mouth to tell her about the white phosphorus that had been painted on her. However, the profound woman suddenly knelt in front of Bai Junzhuo.
“Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden greets the Holy Maiden respectfully. Please forgive Xiao Xian for her recklessness just now!”
What?
At this moment, not only Bai Junzhuo, everyone was stunned.
“Mysterious Maiden, you” Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Lin Bailian opened her mouth to speak. She did not expect that she would be stopped by a shout.
“Don’t be rude!” The Mysterious Woman roared and respectfully said to Bai Junzhuo, “Xiao Xian’s Mysterious Woman Sword touched the demon and it would reveal its original form. However, the Holy Woman’s blood caused the blade of the Mysterious Woman Sword to blossom with a Blood Lotus. If you don’t believe me, just look!”
Bai Junzhuo looked down suspiciously, but this glance shocked her. There was actually a Blood Lotus on the edge of the sword!
It seemed that the wisdom of the ancient people could not be underestimated. This Mysterious Maiden was indeed not an ordinary swindler.
“This … what exactly is going on?” Madam Zou asked in confusion.
“Old Lady, this granddaughter of yours is not a monster. She is the reincarnated Holy Daughter of Empress Nuwa. The overbearing demonic aura on her body is because she inadvertently restrained too many monsters, causing her to be filled with hostility, causing this sovereign to misunderstand.” After Xuan Nu finished speaking, she hurriedly stood up from the ground and grabbed Bai Jun Zhuo. “Please let Xiao Xian bandage your wounds!”
After that, he took Bai Junzhuo away without any explanation, and the rest of them had expressions of realization on their faces.
After a long time, Bai Juntao, who was standing behind Lin Bailian, reached out and pulled Lin Bailian down, exchanging a puzzled look with her.
Lin Bailian patted her arm and glanced at Mrs. Zou beside her, signaling her not to speak.

After leaving Madam Zou’s courtyard, Bai Junzhuo walked to a relatively secluded place. Then, he shook off the Xuan Nu’s hand and said coldly, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Xuan Nu smiled and said, “This lowly little trick was seen through by Third Young Miss Bai. It was only in a hurry that I said such words. Third Young Miss Bai has a large number of them! I’m also a fool …”
“Hmph!” Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly. “If I hadn’t seen through it, wouldn’t I have died under your sword?”
“There are always sacrifices in the struggle for power and profit in this mansion,” Xuan Nu saw through it very thoroughly. “If Miss Bai can’t even understand my little tricks, it’s only a matter of time before she dies. Why don’t I reincarnate Miss Bai as soon as possible and be a smart person in the next life?”
Bai Junzhuo narrowed his eyes slightly. “Looks like you’ve done a lot of harm.”
“Luoyang City’s wealthy families have all asked me to do it. It’s much more convenient to have ghosts and gods talk about the matters of the rear mansion.”
“But if you hurt someone, you will be punished!”
The Mysterious Maiden remained calm and smiled. “I’ve done too much, and I’m famous. Everyone thinks I’m a god. Even the satrap respects me three points. What’s the point of talking about retribution?”
Bai Junzhuo said coldly, “If you do anything wrong, you will die. The government will not care about you. There will always be people who will take care of you.”
“There’s no need to worry about this third young miss.” Xuan Nu suddenly lowered her voice and asked, “Third young miss doesn’t want to know why I wanted to harm you in the beginning, and who invited me here?”
Bai Junzhuo glanced at her and said, “Our Bai Clan is not comparable to ordinary wealthy families. Whether we are enemies or friends can be seen from a glance. Other than my concubine mother, our enemies are eldest sisters, or the two of them together.”
“Third Miss is only half right,” Xuan Nu said faintly. “Concubine Lin did give me a sum of money to drive you out of the Bai Manor, but another person also gave me a sum of money to kill you.”
Bai Junzhuo did not say anything. He looked at Maiden Xuan quietly. Sure enough, Maiden Xuan said, “As long as Miss Bai takes out more money than that person, I will naturally tell you the person who wanted to harm you. Otherwise, one day, you will die unjustly and only think that Auntie Lin wanted to harm you, but I do not know who the real murderer is.”
Who is it?
She, Bai Junzhuo, was just a young lady who did not leave the second sect. She was in charge of the Medicine Hall and had never offended anyone. Other than Lin Bailian, who else wanted to harm her?
Bai Junzhuo thought about it carefully and sneered, “That person gave you money to kill me, but you asked me for money to tell me who that person was and how did you explain it to that person?”
“How to reconcile is my business,” Xuan Nu smiled. “Third young miss, you are lucky to see through my scheme today, but it won’t be so easy in the future. So … please think about it again, Miss Bai.”
“In the future? Do you think I will let you enter the Bai Clan again?” Bai Junzhuo said with a cold face, “Right now, you only have two options. One is to get out by yourself, but I will tell grandma about your deception. Grandma will report it to the officials and escort you out.”
Xuan Nu replied calmly, “According to Concubine Lin’s description, although Third Miss Bai has been doted on by Old Lady recently, Concubine Lin’s relationship with Old Lady should be closer.” Moreover, even if you were to see through my schemes for a moment, I would still be the Mysterious Lady who declared that she was far away. “Third young miss, you must understand. If you really force me, will it be easy for me and Auntie Lin to bite you, or will it be easy for you to pull me off the horse alone?”
Bai Junzhuo’s face darkened, but what this person said was true.
‘”So Miss Bai,” Xuan Nu said, her delicate makeup on her face approaching Bai Junzhuo. “Not only am I not leaving, I am also staying at your Bai Clan.”
Before Bai Junzhuo could react, he turned around and left.
Bai Junzhuo clenched his fists and watched Xuan Nu leave. He gradually calmed down. Thinking about what she said just now, it was too strange.
If she really only wanted money, she could just kill her and ask Lin Bailian and the person she spoke of to receive the reward, but why would she say so much to her? Moreover, she was just an unfavored third young miss, how much money could she get from her?
Was this woman only doing this for the sake of staying in the Bai Manor?
However, what did she want from Bai Manor?
The more Bai Junzhuo thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. However, that person was right. If she did not want to leave the Bai Manor, she would probably be bitten back by them if she spoke on her own.
She pondered for a moment before turning around and returning to her own courtyard. As soon as she entered, she saw Shen Qing standing at the door of the pharmacy with her chest crossed.
Seeing that Bai Junzhuo’s face was pale and his left arm was injured, Shen Qing asked, “Miss Bai, did something happen?”
Bai Junzhuo had been thinking about the Profound Maiden. Hearing Shen Qing’s words, his mind flashed. Could it be that this Profound Maiden wanted the same thing as the one surnamed Yin?
Seeing that she did not speak, Shen Qing’s eyes swept towards her wound and said, “Miss Bai, your wound is bleeding. Do you need to bandage it?”
Looks like I have to explain it clearly to someone surnamed Yin. I can’t serve him so unknowingly. In the future, even if I lose my life, I’ll still be confused!
Bai Junzhuo came back to his senses and took out a hemostatic medicine from his bag. He said to Shen Qing, “No need. Take me to see your master now.”
“Now?” Shen Qing was puzzled, “It’s still early …”
“Right now.” Bai Junzhuo interrupted him.

Not long after Xuan Nu left, she met Lin Bailian head-on. Lin Bai was stunned for a moment before he went up to greet her. His eyebrows knitted tightly and he asked, “Xuan Nu Queen, we clearly agreed that this shouldn’t be the case …”
Xuan Nu rolled her eyes, “Did you discover something at that time? If I hadn’t said that in a hurry, everything between you and me would have been exposed!”
Lin Bailian naturally did not know what Bai Junzhuo had discovered. She anxiously asked, “Then what should we do, Mysterious Lady?”
The corners of Xuan Nu’s mouth hooked, “Madam Bai, let me ask you, your goal is to drive her out, but you don’t want more?”
Lin Bailian was stunned and looked at her as if she was puzzled.
“Let Old Lady hand over everything of the Bai Clan to you as soon as possible. You and your daughter will become the most respected and wealthy people in Luoyang City.”
“This” Lin Bailian thought for a moment and shook her head. “As long as Bai Jun burns away, everything in the Bai Clan will naturally belong to me and my daughter.”
“Then how long do you have to wait?” Xuan Nu glanced at her unsharpened. “Old Lady’s body seems to be still alive for some years. In addition, your Bai Family members are proficient in pharmacology, so you might still be able to live for another ten to twenty years. Do you really want to wait that long? Wait for your old age, and wait for your daughter to become an old lady?”
“This” Lin Bailian pursed her lips and looked at Xuan Nu thoughtfully.
Xuan Nu snorted coldly, “As long as you give me enough silver, I will help you get everything you want.”
Lin Bailian looked at her blankly. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and asked, “What … what should I do?”
