Waiting for the shoe to drop, she gulped it all in a single motion. The stinging sensation burned her mouth and she forced droplets of the liquid she's drinking from her fingers as a precaution.

Yet the worse never came, which only furthered confused and frightened her. Was it that subtle of a poison that it'll taste like mere wine before it hit? Indeed, it was an insidious and ingenious design of the Tang clan. It didn't take long for her to finish as she wiped her exposed mouth.

She was then treated to Yuying downing her two jars with no effort before she implied what it really was. Leaving Xiao Shan to blink owlishly at that.

Did she really just drank wine then?

[color=6ecff6]"...Oh."[/color] She stand there awkwardly, glanced towards the empty jar, and rubbed the back of her head before tossing the jar aside nonchalantly.

A little regret came as she couldn't sample or taste any of the good stuff then. She had just let it slide down her throat [color=6ecff6]"Can I have one more jar then?"[/color]

Moving past that as Yuying agreed to follow her, the latter saw the vial explode into a puff of smoke that Yuying drew somewhere from her outfit before the odd sensation of being kicked in the face by a horse followed. So much so that she reached out for her nose instinctively to feel for damage.

Should she say something about the palanquin and servants?

[color=6ecff6][i]Nah, they'll be fine.[/i] [/color] It is not like they're guilty free either, let them stew for a bit longer until she meets the magistrate. Honestly though, Xiao Shan doesn't even recall if it's the magistrate that wants her from the wanted poster.

Still, she done her part and now, it was time to get paid. Just another day's work as a first-rate warrior of the Broken Mountain Sect.

[color=6ecff6]"So, any ideas why you're wanted by the magistrate?"[/color] Xiao Shan asked as they traveled, not really in a hurry and she was curious about why they called her the mad woman. So far, she seems more literal and odd than mad. [color=6ecff6]"Also, aren't the Tang a close-knit group? Seems odd to see one out in the middle of nowhere."[/color]
