Chapter 296 Rebellion

Chapter 296: Betrayal

"Pharmacist Xiong, the sect leader has been kidnapped, and we are looking for him."

Xiong Chengen was still angry with Chu Jie, but upon hearing Chu Xia's words, his legs went weak with fear, and he staggered before regaining his balance: "You, you said the Hall Master was kidnapped? Who?!"

"Chu Xia didn't know that Liu Li had already gone to look for her." Chu Xia said, feeling very guilty.

"Find it! Don't just stand there, hurry up and go find it! I'll go back to the pharmacist and get help!" Xiong Chengen said as he ran off.

Chu Xia lay sprawled on the ground, watching Xiong Chengen leave. Chu Jie glanced at Chu Xia with some disdain, walked over to Chu Xia's side, and helped her up: "Sister, why did you kneel before him?"

When Chu Xia saw that Pharmacist Xiong had returned to the Pharmacist Association, she took Chu Jie's hand and said, "Chu Jie, go and take care of Xi Yue. I'll go out and look for her too."

Upon hearing that her opportunity had arrived, Chu Jie smiled gently and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of Xi Yue."

Seeing that Chu Jie was so obedient, Chu Xia smiled with satisfaction, said nothing more, and went out.

Chu Jie closed the door, turned around, and went upstairs.

Chu Xia walked for a while, then suddenly remembered that the medicine was still being decocted in the back garden, so she turned around and walked back.

Chu Jie looked at Xi Yue, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and smirked: "Xi Yue, it's not that I don't want you to live any longer, but who told you to see this..."

As she spoke, Chu Jie pulled a dagger from her sleeve and was about to stab Xi Yue in the heart.

Just as it was about to reach Xi Yue's heart, a hairpin flew out and pierced Chu Jie's wrist, causing the dagger in Chu Jie's hand to fall beside Xi Yue.

Chu Jie looked towards the door and saw Chu Xia staring at her with a deep frown.

"Sister..." Chu Jie cried out in a panic.

Chu Xia walked to Chu Jie's side, picked up the dagger from the bed, and looked at Chu Jie with some disappointment: "What are you trying to do?"

"I...I...no..." Chu Jie stammered, clutching her injured hand tightly, unable to say anything.

"You're not planning to kill Xiyue, are you?" Chuxia glanced at Xiyue and asked when she saw that Xiyue showed no signs of waking up.

Chu Jie's heart skipped a beat: "Sister, I didn't!"

"No? If I had come back a little later, this knife would have been piercing Xiyue's heart, right?" Chuxia roared. She always thought she knew her younger sister very well, but she never expected to see such a scene. If she hadn't come back, Chujie would probably have made a huge mistake!

"Chu Jie, why did you have the thought of killing someone? What are you hiding from me?" Chu Xia asked.

Chu Jie smiled and said, "Sister, you stabbed me with a hairpin for an outsider. You used to never want me to suffer even a little bit. It's not that I'm hiding anything, but you've changed! Everything revolves around Liu Ruxuan, and you only think about Yongrentang. You don't care about me at all anymore... I hate them. I hate that they stole your love from me!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Chu Jie finished speaking, Chu Xia slapped her across the face: "Chu Jie, you're an absolute scoundrel! The sect leader treats you and me like family, how could you have such an ungrateful thought? Xi Yue has always treated you well, what good thing has she ever forgotten you? Is this how you repay her?!"

Chu Jie was slapped and listened quietly as Chu Xia finished speaking. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Chu Xia pitifully, saying, "Sister, you have disappointed me so much."

As Chu Jie spoke, she pulled out the injured silver hairpin, covered her wound with one hand, and ran out.

Chu Xia didn't chase after it; instead, she squatted down and picked up the silver hairpin from the ground.
