23: Your son is dying.

In an instant, Killing Intent erupted from Ji Ruoyun, her voluptuous figure abruptly sat up, and her cold eyes radiated monstrous Killing Intent.

She had avoided Jun Wuchen, but she hadn't avoided this young man.

At this moment, Ji Ruoyun even suspected that the person who poisoned her was the handsome young man in front of her.

Su Shengyuan naturally expected Ji Ruoyun to act as if she didn't know him after the fact, so he had already taken precautions.

The moment Ji Ruoyun's Killing Intent spread out.

Su Shengyuan's figure strangely vanished from his spot, without even causing spatial ripples.

When he reappeared, he was already on the other side of the cave.

"Su Family Holy Son, Su Shengyuan!"

Su Shengyuan announced his identity, then threw out an identity jade pendant.

The jade pendant shimmered with light, engraved with the character 'Su'.

This jade pendant was no ordinary item.

It represented the identity of the Su Family Holy Son.

Ji Ruoyun raised her fair hand, caught the jade pendant, and after carefully examining it for a moment, an expression of bewilderment appeared on her face.

"You... I... How could this be?"

Upon learning Su Shengyuan's identity, Ji Ruoyun was immediately at a loss, and the Killing Intent on her body completely dissipated.

The Ancient Su Family Holy Son, she wouldn't dare to kill him even if she had a hundred times the courage.

Although she was also a member of the Ancient Ji Family, and the biological younger sister of the current family head, her status was far inferior to that of the Su Family Holy Son.

Moreover, back then, in order to marry Jun Tianhong, she had already severed ties with the Ji Family; her current status was merely the City Lord's wife of Sunset City.

Want to kill Su Shengyuan?

Then she had to weigh whether she could bear the Su Family's retaliation.

Once she killed Su Shengyuan.

Not to mention the Jun Family and her, even the entire Sunset City would likely be reduced to ashes, and the Ji Family would also be implicated.

Although she had severed ties with the Ji Family, she was still of the Ji Family Bloodline after all.

After much thought, Ji Ruoyun sighed in her heart, "Oh, what a clear day!"

Su Shengyuan saw Ji Ruoyun's divine face constantly changing, sometimes showing Life Qi, sometimes full of Killing Intent, and sometimes helplessness.

He couldn't help but shake his head and let out a chuckle.

Since she wasn't going to make a move, it was time to talk.

Although the reward was already in hand, how could he easily let go of that Son of Destiny, Jun Wuchen?

Even if Su Shengyuan didn't scheme against Jun Wuchen now, he would likely confront him in the future.

Therefore, Jun Wuchen was bound to die!

Su Shengyuan had another reason for not killing Chu Tiange; even though he had the Heavenly Dao protecting him, it wasn't impossible to kill him if he wanted to, but keeping Chu Tiange was for him to be a treasure-hunting tool.

This Jun Wuchen had no utilitarian value! Although he also had Opportunities, he didn't possess anything Su Shengyuan coveted.

It was naturally better to kill him early to avoid future complications.

"I wonder if this Saint should address you as Aunt Ji, or Madam Jun? Or perhaps... the darling you asked me to call you when you were just detoxing..."

Su Shengyuan sat opposite Ji Ruoyun, maintaining a refined and gentle demeanor on his face, his starry eyes gleaming as he scrutinized Ji Ruoyun.

"Speaking of which, I even held you when you were little," Ji Ruoyun said slowly after regaining her composure and clearing all distracting thoughts from her mind.

She had also come to terms with it.

Since the matter had already happened, why not face it calmly?

Even if it was truly Su Shengyuan who poisoned her, she accepted it.

Su Shengyuan chuckled, "So this is what they call karma?"

Of course, which 'karma' it was, that was for her to figure out herself.

However!

Su Shengyuan's next words made Ji Ruoyun feel as if she had fallen into an abyss.

"Your son is about to die! Oh, right, your biological son!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun's divine face immediately showed terror, "What did you say?"

"Your son is about to die; calculating the time, it should be within these few days, right?" Su Shengyuan repeated patiently.

After calming down, Ji Ruoyun's eyes gradually turned cold, even emitting a sharp Killing Intent again.

"Su Family Holy Son truly has excellent methods. First, secretly poisoning me, then... and now threatening me with my son's life. Speak, what else do you want?"

Listening to Ji Ruoyun's bone-chilling voice.

Su Shengyuan shook his head, "You've misunderstood. How could this Saint use such a despicable trick? Moreover, with my identity as the Ancient Su Family Holy Son, what can I not obtain? And what do you possess that could tempt this Saint?"

Ji Ruoyun frowned deeply.

Given that, Su Shengyuan indeed had no need to go to such great lengths.

And besides her physical appearance.

She had nothing that Su Shengyuan could covet, so the idea of him threatening her son's life naturally fell apart.

At this moment, Ji Ruoyun realized she had misunderstood Su Shengyuan.

Before she could continue to inquire.

Su Shengyuan spoke words that made her even more incredulous.

"Perhaps you've already guessed that you were poisoned, and this Saint just happened to pass by here. It's understandable that you would misunderstand this Saint."

"However, this Saint is not such a bored person; someone else is responsible for the poisoning. If you don't believe me, I can provide proof for you in a moment."

"Now that the matter has happened, nothing can be changed, but the identity of the poisoner, as well as your son's life-threatening danger, this Saint can resolve both."

After his words fell.

Su Shengyuan leaned against the stone wall, waiting for Ji Ruoyun to sort things out.

Ji Ruoyun was a smart person; she would definitely know what to do.

After a moment, Ji Ruoyun spoke, "Even if I believe that the poisoning was not done by the Su Family Holy Son, how are you so certain that my son will be in life-threatening danger?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to Madam to decide in her own heart."

Subsequently, Su Shengyuan remained silent, a smile on his face.

Making it difficult for Ji Ruoyun to guess his true intentions!
