On the peak of Yunxue Mountain

There were many bottles and jars by the bathtub, and Ban Xia was busy at the table, putting different medicines into the bathtub in different amounts.

In the thick and steamy heat, Su Ming sat cross-legged with closed eyes. The pale complexion of her small face seemed to be flushed by the warmth, while Su Ying nervously watched by her side, witnessing the bucket of water gradually turning into a dark brown color.

Couldn't help but speak up: "Master, can he withstand the effects of this medicine?"

Banxia was busy adjusting the dosage, and replied impatiently, "Brat, do you have to be so nervous? Don't you trust your master's medical skills?"

Su Ying had no choice but to keep quiet. Ban Xia said, "However, the situation inside his body is very bad. The meridians in many places are damaged, and there is not even a trace of true qi in his body. It seems that there are signs of poisoning. He was able to hold on till now, thanks to the decent medical skills of your disciple, Lin Xia. It was you who made him like this, wasn't it?"

Su Ying looked to the side, pretending not to have heard this question.

Banxia looked at her apprentice and sighed, "However, I will do everything I can to fully restore him. Your master still has some skills, otherwise wouldn't I be called a 'medical oddity' in vain?"

Su Ying's eyes dimmed when he heard these words, and he said in a low voice, "Master, there's no need to fully cure him. It's fine to leave behind some side effects as long as his life is not in danger."

Banxia was startled by the words and nearly dropped the small stick she was using to mix the medicine. She looked at Su Ying with a determined expression and said, "Is it really good for you to do this? Leaving behind after-effects means that although his life will be safe in the future, his body will be several times weaker than an ordinary person. And every time it rains, his meridians will ache unbearably. It's like living in agony!"

Su Ying gently replied, "It's alright, I will take care of him for the rest of his life."

Ban Xia couldn't help but be furious and said, "You don't actually love him at all. It's just your own selfish desire. I don't recall teaching you such things in the past."

Suying looked at his bearded and wide-eyed master and said, "Master, do you really know about my past?"

Halfling choked up and hesitated, "This... When I found him, he was covered in injuries. And when I asked where he came from, he wouldn't say. I really have no idea where he's from."

"Ah, forget it, forget it. This old bones of mine can't be bothered with the matters between you young people. But let me remind you, my disciple, that good begets good and evil begets evil. Misunderstandings are the beginning of all destruction."

"I understand, Master."

Banxia turned around and continued to busy herself, while Su Ying sat on the side, resting her cheek on her hand and quietly watching Su Ming's vague and hazy face amidst the hazy heat. Suddenly, Su Ying noticed a red pattern at the corner of Su Ming's eye. She wanted to take a closer look, but it disappeared. Su Ying thought she must have been mistaken, but she didn't realize that she had seen that exact pattern not long ago.

Not far from the Yunxue Peak Inn, Linyu was boredly gazing at the sky. The Sect Leader had abandoned their group without a moment's hesitation or mercy. Linyu couldn't help but wonder why they had followed him in the first place. Sigh...

Linyu let out a sigh at the window, the three hundredth sigh of the day. Suddenly, a bewitching and familiar voice sounded in his ear, saying, "Since you're so sad, why not let this lady help you relieve some of your sorrow?"

Lin Yu was startled and stood up, looking back. With a loud "bang," the door was knocked open and a worshipper covered in blood rushed in, collapsing on the ground with their fate unknown. Stepping over the body of that worshipper was an elegant foot wearing cloud-patterned embroidered boots. It was none other than Sha Hua Luo.

"How can it be you?" Lin Yu exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

"How come it can't be me? After we parted in the small town last time, I was thinking of you, the leader, so much. Why didn't I see him when I came over today?"

"You're imagining things. Our leader already has someone in his heart, so you don't matter anymore!"

"Xin... shang... ren," Shāhuá Luó gritted her teeth and recited, her body exuding a strong aura of killing intent.

Linyu's martial arts were originally weak, and the overwhelming killing intent made him unable to even stand steadily. He could only sit down, but he quietly held a feather in his hand. It was the token left by Su Ying before leaving, indicating that there was no escape for him today. However, he must inform the sect leader.

Just as he was about to shoot the feathers out of the window, a blood shadow flashed by, and the feathers had already appeared in Shahua Luo's hands.

Finished," Lin Yu thought despairingly. Sha Hua Luo approached with determined steps, lifting his chin and giving a charming smile, "Since Master Ye Yu has taken his beloved with him, then I suppose it's up to you to accompany me now."
