Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 72
Chapter 072 Who Is the Masked Man
“Who is hiding there sneakily?” Bai Junzhuo shouted, “Is that Shen Qing?”
Under the moonlight, a white figure galloped down from the old locust tree, approaching Bai Junzhuo and lifting her chin, “Miss Bai, you don’t remember me the day you disappeared?”
He didn’t remember, he also remembered this terrifying mask! Why is he here? Could it be that everything that happened last night was true?
‘”Right, I’m telling you kindly, the Shen Qing you spoke of is not a good person. Seeing that his surname is Yin, he went to work for his true master. It’s better for you to rely on him than on me. At least I won’t hurt you for the time being.” The masked man’s voice came out through the mask, like a duck with its neck stepped on.
“Who on earth are you?” Bai Junzhuo asked with a frown.
The masked man chuckled and changed the subject, “Have you prepared any medicine for the injuries behind you?”
“I’m not going to treat that injury anymore,” Bai Junzhuo wanted to shake off his hand. “Let go of me first, or I’ll call someone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man waved his hand and pointed at the acupoints around Bai Junzhuo’s body. Then, he said to her, “Since that’s the case, this young master will personally cure you.”
With that, he circled behind Bai Junzhuo, took off his clothes, and took out a box of ointment to apply.
Bai Jun could not move his body nor speak, so he could only allow his fingers to apply ointment on his back. She was embarrassed and angry, wishing she could bite this man to death.
After about half an hour, the masked man put on her clothes and untied her acupoints. Bai Junzhuo’s entire body softened and he bent down to take a deep breath.
“You better hurry up and heal these scars. It’s best if you can get them before Yin comes back.” As the masked man spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Junzhuo’s left face.
Bai Jun lowered his head and remained silent. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his mask, pulling it down abruptly.
She had originally thought that this man must be someone who was hiding beside her, so behind the mask was a face that she was familiar with, but she was wrong.
This man’s eyebrows were delicate and beautiful, and he had an indescribable evil aura.
Bai Junzhuo frowned. She could not find any information about him in her memories.
“So I really don’t know you,” she said.
The man snatched away his mask and brought it back, “Of course you don’t know this young master. If it weren’t for Yin Xun, this young master wouldn’t have bothered to recognize a small character like you.”
This man’s second-in-middle aura exploded, as if he was the most awesome person in the world. Bai Junzhuo wanted to laugh, but she asked tentatively, “Who are you?”
“Who am I? Do you know who Yin Xun is?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and shook his head, “I don’t need to know who he is.”
“Then you don’t need to know who I am.”
Bai Junzhuo stared into his eyes. “Although Yin Xun’s expression is cold, he has feelings and righteousness. His three views are normal. Yet you actually brought such a harmful thing as the Cold Food Powder to Luoyang. You’re a twisted bastard, so you can’t compare yourself to him.”
The masked man suddenly reached out to grab Bai Junzhuo’s neck and said coldly, “I didn’t bring the Cold Food Powder to Luoyang. I have nothing to do with this matter.”
Bai Junzhuo coughed fiercely twice and struggled to say, “No, it’s not. Quickly let go of me, your neck is going to be snapped by you!”
“What? Are you afraid of death?” The masked man’s eyes flashed with a crafty expression, as if he had discovered something. He said to her, “If you look at this Young Master’s face, you won’t have the chance to continue living in this world.”
Bai Junzhuo did not want to die. She did not understand the masked man and did not know whether his words were a threat to her or the truth. She could only stretch out her hands to pull his wrist.
Seeing that she was so scared, the masked man’s eyes revealed a trace of pride. He suddenly let go of his hand. Bai Junzhuo did not expect that he would take two steps back and fall to the ground.
“This Young Master will not let you die so easily. I will slowly torture you.” The masked man gloomily tossed these words away and turned around to walk out.
Bai Jun coughed for a long time before he recovered. Where did this lunatic come from? She was just an ordinary girl who loved to cure illnesses and save people. Occasionally, she would engage in house fights. She had never done anything harmful to the heavens. Why did he insist on having a hard time with her?
Right, the man seemed to have said that he had done all this for Yin Xun. What was his relationship with Yin Xun?
He had just said that the matter of the Cold Food Powder had nothing to do with him, so the masked man he had seen in the Shen mansion earlier was not one of his men? Who was that?
Bai Junzhuo pounded his head. He really didn’t have a clue.
Not long after, she heard a noise outside. She got up from the ground and pushed the door open. Seeing that it was Shen Qing, Bai Junzhuo stepped forward and asked, “Shen Qing, where have you been this day?”
Shen Qing replied, “Before Lu Kang left, he gave me some instructions.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and the man’s words appeared in his mind, “That Shen Qing is not a good person.”
Was his words trustworthy?
“What’s wrong, Miss Bai? Did anything happen during my absence?” Shen Qing said worriedly, “Master told me to protect you properly, but today, there are other things that have troubled me and I am unable to follow Miss Bai.”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly shook his head, “I’m fine. I’ve been staying in the mansion all this time. There won’t be any danger.”
Shen Qing nodded, “Then I’m relieved.”
Just as she was speaking, Riko ran in panicked and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss, something big has happened.”
Bai Junzhuo turned to look at him, “It’s already so dark. What can happen?”
“I don’t know why, but those wealthy and influential people in Luoyang City have gathered together to invite the Mysterious Lady out of our mansion. They said that they want to open the altar and exorcise ghosts and demons.”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he understood that those wealthy and influential people thought that their sons were addicted to drugs, crazy and naked, and that the doctor couldn’t cure them, so they thought that they were possessed by a ghost.
“Let her make a fuss. I don’t believe that she can really use magic to help people get rid of drugs.” Bai Junzhuo said indifferently.
Lizi wrinkled his face and said anxiously, “This Mysterious Maiden opened the altar at the entrance of the Bai Mansion. She kept saying Miss’s name. Although I didn’t hear what she said, I expected that it would be harmful to Miss. So I hurriedly came in and told Miss.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and asked, “Say my name? Is she trying to slander me for being a demon reincarnation?”
Lizi shook his head. He didn’t know.
Bai Junzhuo gritted his teeth and said to Lizi, “Xingzi has been ill recently. Go to the pharmacy and stew the medicine that I haven’t cooked well. I’ll go out and take a look.”
“Yes, Miss, you must be careful.”
Shen Qing followed Bai Junzhuo out. As soon as she left the gate of the Bai Manor, she saw a temporary platform not far away. The Profound Maiden was dressed in extraordinarily gorgeous clothes. She stood on top with her sword in her hand and muttered something in her mouth.
Bai Junzhuo did not understand what she was saying, only occasionally hearing her pronounce her name.
Suddenly, Xuan Nu spat out a mouthful of water. The sword in her hand immediately ignited a huge fire. Xuan Nu pretended to wave it for a while. After the fire was extinguished, she suddenly covered her heart and knelt on the stage.
“Mysterious Maiden, what’s wrong with you?” Someone below the stage immediately asked, and then everyone voiced their concern.
Bai Junzhuo stood in the distance and looked at these people. They were all dressed in silk, and their actions carried a noble aura. Yet, they were gathered at the entrance of other people’s houses to cause such a loss of status. It was truly uncertain whether it was irritating or ridiculous.
After waiting for a long time, Xuan Nu slowly raised her head and said weakly to the people below the stage, “This monster has cultivated for a thousand years. It has specifically deceived young masters of aristocratic families, causing them to lose their minds and behave in a perverted manner. This is why the young masters of the various mansions are acting like this.”
When everyone below the stage heard this, admiration appeared on their faces. They all said, “What Empress Xuan Nu said is no different from the symptoms of her son. Please save her son!”
Bai Junzhuo secretly snorted coldly. This Mysterious Maiden was really a good method. Using her beloved son’s eagerness to push this matter aside to the matter of ghosts and gods, she would definitely earn another large sum of black-hearted money.
But … Isn’t the matter of the Cold Food Powder investigated secretly? It’s impossible for the Mysterious Maiden to come into contact with a high-class young master. How could she know so clearly?
However, Bai Junzhuo realized that she was mistaken when she heard Xuan Nu’s words. Xuan Nu said to the people below, “I am too weak to deal with such a monster.”
Everyone’s faces were filled with worry and unease.
Bai Jun raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t this Xuan Nu trying to make money? How could he say such a thing?
Xuan Nu continued, “Everyone, don’t worry. Although this sovereign is powerless to save your son, there is one person who can!”
“Could it be the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden, Third Miss Bai, Bai Junzhuo?”
Xuan Nu nodded. Actually, what she had been saying was that Holy Maiden Bai Junzhuo had bestowed her with divine power. After reading it for so long, everyone below knew that Bai Junzhuo was a Holy Maiden.
Shen Qing stood beside Bai Junzhuo and looked at him. “Miss Bai, this woman seems to want to deal with you.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “I don’t know what she’s going to do to me. She said that I’m a Holy Maiden and asked me to eliminate demons. Even if I can’t, these people can’t do anything to me, right?”
Just as she was speaking, Xuan Nu said, “That’s right, Miss Bai is the reincarnated Holy Daughter of Nuwa. Her mission in this world is to save the lives of the world. Now that Luoyang is in a miasma, it is a good time for the Holy Daughter to take action!”
Someone below immediately said, “Then let’s invite the Holy Maiden to do something!”
Xuan Nu slowly stood up from the stage and shook her head. “The Holy Maiden’s immortal body has not woken up yet. She can’t do anything.”
“Then how can we save our son?”
“Only,” Xuan Nu paused, her gaze sweeping across the crowd below, and then she said, “Only by sacrificing the Holy Maiden to the heavens can we calm down this monster that caused the uprising and save the lives of the common people!”
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes darkened as he muttered to himself, “What a ruthless woman. She actually wants to use everyone’s power to kill me. These days, the Profound Maiden has been publicizing everyday. Everyone in Luoyang knows that I am a Holy Maiden. If these people insist on killing me to sacrifice to the heavens, I really have no chance of resisting.”
After listening to her, Shen Qing said coldly, “This Mysterious Woman did all of this. As long as I kill her, nothing will happen.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “You can’t kill her.”
Shen Qing said helplessly, “Miss Bai, do you know that you don’t need to be too kind to treat this kind of person? If you don’t kill her, she will torture you to death.”
“I’m not interested in being kind to this kind of woman,” Bai Junzhuo said indifferently. “If you don’t kill her, these people who are eager to save her can still count on her for some hope. I can also try to get her to explain everything for me. If you kill her, these people have no choice but to kill me to sacrifice to the heavens. At that time, it will be useless to say anything.”
“Then what should we do?”
