The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 47.1

Hearing Zhan Fu’s question, the others also subconsciously looked over.

Wen Zhao had had the same doubt before, and Zhan Fu had asked her the same question. But because the original plot didn’t have much description of Lu Bicai, and her past experiences weren’t mentioned, Wen Zhao naturally didn’t know the hidden story behind Lu Bicai and had nowhere to guess, so her discussion with Zhan Fu at that time ended there.

Now that they had arrived at the Lotus Platform, Zhan Fu finally brought up the matter.

However, she didn’t seem very concerned, but leaned back, resting one hand casually on her chin, her gaze shifting from Lu Bicai to the calm lake, as if she were admiring the scenery. Her indifferent look made it seem as if she had just thought of this question casually and asked it out of the blue.

If Wen Zhao hadn’t seen her care about this question before, she would probably have been deceived by Zhan Fu’s performance now.

But Lu Bicai hadn’t, so she looked at Zhan Fu and found that the other party didn’t seem to be pressing further, so she slowly relaxed her stiff back.

Lu Bicai tapped her palm, and replied indifferently, “Disguising myself as a man is just a personal preference. There’s no special reason. Perhaps the young lady doesn’t understand this kind of preference, but… it’s not worth making a fuss over.”

Zhan Fu raised an eyebrow, “You’re right, I’m making a fuss. Then, what about being a flower thief? Is that also because I’m ignorant and making a fuss?”

She glanced sideways, her eyes cold.

Lu Bicai paused, her brow furrowed. She raised her chin slightly, “It seems this matter has nothing to do with the young lady. Similarly, this is also my personal preference, and that’s all.”

Zhan Fu sneered, “Really? I heard that wherever there’s a beauty, there’s Lu Bicai. It seems that Miss Lu’s hobby is really long-lasting and unexpectedly enthusiastic. I just wonder what Miss Lu’s standard is for judging beauty. According to Miss Lu’s standards, is this young lady good enough? Is she worth a midnight visit to your bedroom?”

“Please don’t be too excessive,” Lu Bicai said.

“How am I being excessive? Am I not telling the truth? Or is it that Miss Lu doesn’t fancy this young lady and only fancies the girls outside?”

The situation, or rather, Zhan Fu’s emotions were becoming more and more agitated. Wen Zhao looked at them, then coughed lightly, signaling Zhan Fu to calm down.

Actually, she could roughly understand Zhan Fu’s feelings. After all, she had just realized her feelings for Lu Bicai and hadn’t had time to have a friendly and intimate interaction with Lu Bicai before being blocked by the “flower thief” incident. It was no wonder that Zhan Fu felt a little bit calculating, or rather… jealous.

However, the situation between Zhan Fu and Lu Bicai was a bit special. Their initial relationship was just for the antidote, and Zhan Fu had only developed feelings after taking the antidote. In such a short period of time, it was hard to say whether she could fully understand her own feelings, let alone be honest with Lu Bicai.

In addition, after taking the antidote, Lu Bicai, as the “loser”, had insisted on leaving and not wanting to get involved, so their relationship… was even more complicated and difficult to handle.

So even if Zhan Fu was jealous now, it was a bit… unreasonable, more like throwing a tantrum.

Therefore, Wen Zhao had to speak up to stop Zhan Fu and let her calm down. After all, her relationship with Lu Bicai wasn’t at a point where she could be jealous yet. If Zhan Fu pressed too hard, she was afraid that Lu Bicai would avoid her even more.

Plus, with her and You Zixia in between, there was always an uncomfortable feeling.

At the moment, You Zixia didn’t dare face the bloody storm over there.

Zhan Fu, who had been silently persuaded by Wen Zhao, closed her eyes and stopped talking, ending the topic.

Lu Bicai simply lowered her eyes and stopped speaking.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere didn’t last long. A moment later, the door opened.

Wen Zhao jolted and quickly stood up, looking over.

Xie Ting was still sitting in her wooden wheelchair. She pushed the wheelchair and slowly moved out. When she saw them, her face didn’t show any obvious emotion. She just paused her gaze on Lu Bicai for a moment, then said, “I thought it would take them a while to catch you. It seems I was wrong.”

A slight sneer appeared on Xie Ting’s expressionless face. “What, have you lost your skills?”

Lu Bicai’s expression was a bit ugly. She didn’t seem to want to talk to Xie Ting, but in the end, she still replied, “That’s none of your business.”

Xie Ting slowly rolled her wheelchair over and stopped in front of them.

“I don’t care, as long as you don’t reveal that you’re my Junior sister, I’ll definitely ignore you.”

A look of disgust flashed in Lu Bicai’s eyes. “Do you think I want to? I wish I had never joined this sect.”

Xie Ting paused slightly, and there seemed to be a flicker of emotion in her eyes, which disappeared a moment later. Then, she turned to Wen Zhao, “It seems that you need my help again this time.”

Wen Zhao clenched her fingers and then said softly, “Yes. Fu Yu has been poisoned by the icy poison, and I want to ask you to take a look and help her with the antidote.”

Xie Ting came to Fu Yu’s side and looked down, “If I help her with the antidote, will you give up that clue?”

Wen Zhao was silent for a moment, then shook her head, “No.”

Xie Ting looked up at her, “Oh? I thought you would lie to me about the antidote first, and then go back on your word. You know, if you say this in advance, I may not help her with the antidote.”

Wen Zhao blinked her eyelashes slightly. She took a deep breath and then said, “Because I think there’s no need to lie to you about this. Moreover, I think Doctor Xie already knows Fu Yu’s persistence, and even if I agree to give up, Fu Yu won’t agree when she wakes up. You must know this as well, so I might as well be honest.”

Xie Ting’s expression was indifferent. Hearing this, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned her head back to look at Fu Yu.

After staring at her for a while, Xie Ting said, “Move her into the room.”

Hearing her say this, Wen Zhao, whose heart had been hanging, finally relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time loosened her tightly clenched hands.

“Thank you…” she said softly to Xie Ting.

Xie Ting didn’t look at her, but turned around and prepared to go back.”l

In fact, Wen Zhao wasn’t sure if Xie Ting would help. She just had a gut feeling. But a gut feeling wasn’t a guarantee, so Wen Zhao had been worried, and at the same time… she had a backup plan.

If Xie Ting really refused, then Wen Zhao would have no choice but to take Fu Yu to those righteous sects.

As the only surviving member of the Fu family’s direct line, those righteous sects wouldn’t let Fu Yu die. So, even if they had to pressure Xie Ting, or if they had to find another divine doctor, in any case, they would do their best to treat Fu Yu.

The only tricky part was that they would be confined to the righteous sect’s territory. Moreover, Fu Yu would be questioned when she woke up. The things that Wen Zhao wanted to avoid with Fu Yu, they would eventually have to face.

But these were nothing compared to Fu Yu’s life, so Wen Zhao had listed it as a retreat.

But fortunately, Xie Ting agreed.

At the same time, this strengthened a certain guess in Wen Zhao’s heart. About Xie Ting.

Whether from the previous experiences or from the original plot, it could be inferred that the murderer had escaped to the Lotus Platform to recuperate after the incident. Xie Ting had not driven him away, but had instead taken him in, treated his wounds diligently, and concealed his existence. This also led You Zixia and the others to trace the clues directly to the Lotus Platform.

Before leaving, the murderer left a message through Xie Ting, so it could be seen that he intentionally left a clue for Fu Yu to find; it was just that this clue was too weak to be noticed, but it was precisely because of this that it avoided the scrutiny of other righteous sects, and in the end, only Fu Yu, You Zixia, and Wen Zhao found the Lotus Platform.

So, it could also be inferred that the murderer only wanted to meet Fu Yu alone, so in the original plot, the reason why that clue appeared was because it was stimulated by Fu Yu’s bl00d.

And what kind of person was Xie Ting? Although she was a divine doctor, she had a strong arrogance and a sense of alienation that kept everyone else at a distance.

If she had never met the murderer, how could she have followed his orders and diligently deliver messages for him?

Not to mention, combined with the attitude that Xie Ting had shown—not wanting to say it, so she used Lu Bicai as a condition; but she couldn’t not say it, so she couldn’t mention any impossible conditions.

Therefore, it could be inferred that the murderer was either Xie Ting’s leader, who could order Xie Ting to do things for him, or he was Xie Ting’s benefactor or friend, who could make Xie Ting willingly do things for him.

At the same time, because she cared about the other party and didn’t want the other party to be found by Fu Yu and be in danger, she would try to stop it as much as she could.

At the same time, Xie Ting’s willingness to save Fu Yu also confirmed Wen Zhao’s guess.

Because the murderer didn’t want Fu Yu to die, so Xie Ting wouldn’t watch Fu Yu die, even if she knew that as long as Fu Yu died, then the murderer would never be found by Fu Yu.
