Upon hearing Song Ruyu mention that she was afflicted by a peculiar poison, Charlie Wade promptly employed his spiritual energy to investigate. As he suspected, the spiritual energy within her was indeed identical to the unusual poison found in Dingyuan Bo Yun Ruge’s body.


    Charlie Wade sighed, remarking, “Even though Sara hasn’t encountered you yet, she has managed to poison you already. That’s quite typical of her.”


    He continued, “Your poison mirrors that of the four earls. I may not be able to cure it at this moment, but I believe I can devise a solution before the deadline arrives.”


    Frowning, Song Ruyu inquired, “So, the four earls are also affected by such poison?”


    Charlie Wade nodded, exining, “Not only do the four earls carry the same poison, but they also have a time bomb within them. If Sara truly brings you under her wing for training, your fate may very well mirror theirs.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As he spoke, Charlie Wade borated on the Niwan Pce’s situation concerning Meng Changsheng (Willie).


    Song Ruyu was taken aback and asked in disbelief, “Master Ying… did he really set up a self-destruct formation within the Niwan Pce of the four earls?”


    Charlie Wade retorted, “Do you think I would lie to you?”<fn057a> Chapters first released on f?ndnovel</fn057a>


    Song Ruyu nodded, her heart epting the truth of Charlie Wade’s words.


    After all, when Charlie Wade first attacked her, he had mentioned the Niwan Pce, a concept she didn’t grasp at the time. Now, it seemed undeniably urate.


    Moreover, even though she hadn’t witnessed the Niwan Pce incident firsthand, it felt consistent with the Poqing Society’s notorious methods. They were known for squeezing everyst drop of value from an individual, even posthumously.


    With these thoughts, Song Ruyu’s emotional turbulence began to settle.


    In light of the fact that Sara had embedded a formation capable of turning individuals into human bombs within the Niwan Pce, being caught by Charlie Wade didn’t seem so dire after all.


    At that moment, Song Ruyu’s thoughts turned to her family. With a hint of anxiety, she asked Charlie Wade, “Mr. Charlie… does this mean I will never see my family again?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “If I ever manage to eliminate Sara, I will grant all of youplete freedom, including helping you break free from the strange poison. You will be able to reunite with your family then.”


    Song Ruyu nodded softly.


    She had no certainty that Charlie Wade could defeat Sara, yet at that moment, she felt a surge of hope for that day.


    The Song family’s tragic fate, spanning hundreds of years, was all due to Sara. True freedom for her could only be achieved with Sara’s demise.


    If she could regain her freedom, her foremost desire would be to find her mother.


    Her father had taken her away from her mother when she was just one year old, and since then, she hadn’t seen her mother again. Her memories of her were long faded, leaving her with no fragments to hold onto.


    However, the absence of her mother during her formative years only deepened her longing for her.


    Searching for her mother once seemed an utterly rebellious notion, as the Song family’s traditions strictly prohibited anyone from seeking her mother’s whereabouts.


    Yet now, free from the Poqing Society’s grasp, she felt a newfound determination to pursue the possibility of finding her mother.


    Noticing her contemtive expression, Charlie Wade remarked, “The Earl of Dingyuan, one of the four great earls, has also submitted to me. Like you, she harbors the strange poison left by Sara. I n to settle her in China for focused training. Once we resolve this issue, I will bring you to China to meet her; perhaps you two can support one another.”


    As he spoke, Charlie Wade mused, “Yun Ruge, Song Ruyu, Ruge, Ruyu… you two seem to share a unique connection.”


    Startled, Song Ruyu quickly asked, “Mr. Charlie, are you… considering taking me to China?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “I haven’t made a decision yet. I could either let you depart Moro with the others or take you back to China.”


    Song Ruyu quickly urged, “Please, Mr. Charlie, take me back to China! My father told me I was born in China! Perhaps my mother is still there!”
