Just when Jun Sa was in trouble, Ouyang Miaoling stepped forward to rescue him.

She said gently, "Doctor Jun, don't you always say that saving a life is worse than building a seven-story pagoda? Now Miss Xiruo will die if she goes back, and there is nowhere to escape. Why don't you be a good person and take her in? When we reach our destination, we will find a good home for her and keep her away from here. In this way, the old patriarch will not be able to find her again, and you will have saved a life!"

Ouyang Miaoling's words were like a revelation to Jun Sa. He fell into deep thought, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long time, he finally spoke slowly: "Since Miss Xiruo has no place to stay, whether she goes back or stays, she will die, so why don't you follow us for the time being. When we reach our destination, we will find a good family for her so that she can live and work in peace and contentment."

Hearing Jun Sa's decision, Xi Ruo couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Although her initial expectations were not fully met, Master Jun had agreed to let her go, which was a great comfort to her.

At this moment, her heart was filled with anticipation and gratitude.

"Okay... okay, I will serve you well, sir." After saying that, she kowtowed heavily again with joy, before Jun Sa stopped her and helped her up.

"In that case, why don't you ride in the same carriage with Siyu and the others?" Ouyang Miaoling said as she made arrangements.

"I want to serve you personally, so I will ride in the same carriage with you." Xi Ruo refused Ouyang Miaoling's arrangement and insisted on riding with Jun Sa.

Jun Sa frowned slightly. He was not used to being too close to others. But seeing Xi Ruo's determined eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay, let's go together. But I hope you won't disturb me while I'm reading." Xi Ruo was secretly happy and quickly agreed.

"Thank you, sir. I will definitely not disturb you."

Ouyang Miaoling shrugged helplessly at Nangong Mingxuan, indicating that she had tried her best. However, there was someone who insisted on falling into someone else's gentle trap, and she had no other choice.

Nangong Mingxuan understood and glanced in the direction of Jun Sa, with an unclear expression on his face. Then he turned around helplessly and pulled Ouyang Miaoling towards the carriage he was sitting in.

With the help of Nangong Mingxuan, Ouyang Miaoling got on the carriage. Xiruo followed Jun Sa and got on the carriage as well.

At Nangong Mingxuan's command, the carriage began to move slowly again, and the convoy headed forward again.

Along the way, Xiruo sat quietly by the side, occasionally handing Jun Sa some tea or snacks.

Jun Sa focused on medical books, sometimes thinking, sometimes recording.

Xi Ruo looked at his serious look and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart. She secretly made up her mind to serve the young master well, and she would be satisfied to become his concubine in the future.

In this way, the group walked for another two days and three nights and finally arrived at a small mountain village.

"Master... since we have cut off any news about Leng Ze from here on, why don't we just rest here tonight? When tomorrow morning comes, we'll go to the mountain to look for any news left by Leng Ze?" Wushang suggested.

"Okay... go ahead and see if there are any common people who can stay overnight. If there are, spend some money. We can't take advantage of them for nothing." Nangong Mingxuan instructed.

"Okay..." Wushang took the order and left.

After a while, Wushang came back with a villager.

"Master, this fellow villager said that there are a few empty rooms in the village that can be rented to us for one night, but we need to pay some fees." Wushang said.

"No problem, as long as there is a place to live." Nangong Mingxuan said.

Then, everyone followed the villager into the village.

The villagers took them to several dilapidated houses and told them that these were the vacant houses in the village. Although the houses were a bit shabby, they were much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Everyone entered the house, cleaned the room simply, and then found a corner to sit down and rest.

As night fell, the village became quiet.

Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling sat on the ground, beside the fire, and felt very satisfied watching the meat roasting on the fire.

Jun Sa chose to sit in the corner of the room, while Xi Ruo kept serving tea and water, busy all the time.

Siyu, along with two maids, Wushang and others were busy cleaning up the hunted prey in the yard.

Everyone did their job and had a good meal. After a busy day, everyone found a place to rest and fell asleep quickly.

In the middle of the night, Xiruo got up quietly, walked to Jun Sa and pushed him gently.

Jun Sa opened his eyes dazedly, saw Xi Ruo, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiruo blushed and whispered, "Sir, it's a bit cold outside, can I lean on you to keep warm?" Jun Sa was a little surprised, but still nodded. Xiruo happily leaned on Jun Sa, feeling his body temperature, feeling happy.

However, Jun Sa couldn't fall asleep. He felt Xi Ruo's breath on his neck, which was itchy. He tried to move his body, but found that Xi Ruo leaned closer to him. In desperation, he could only continue to pretend to sleep.

A figure appeared in their room late at night, but everyone was sleeping so soundly that no one noticed.

The figure walked up to Ouyang Miaoling and squatted down. Just as he was about to reach out to touch Ouyang Miaoling's cheek, she seemed to sense something and immediately opened her eyes.

But there was nothing in front of her. When she was wondering if she was too sensitive and saw it wrong, a figure flashed by and caught her attention.

She flew towards the figure and chased after it. Nangong Mingxuan, who was curled up and sleeping beside him, also sensed Ouyang Miaoling's departure and reacted quickly, chasing after the figure in the direction Ouyang Miaoling flew out.

Jun Sa, who had been pretending to be asleep, looked at the direction the two people flew out. He placed Xi Ruo, who was leaning on his shoulder, against the wall.

Then he stood up and walked to Wushang and pushed him, but Wushang didn't respond at all. He pushed Siyu anxiously, but still no response.

He quickly placed his fingers on Wushang's wrist to feel his pulse. After a moment, he put his fingers away, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket, poured out a pill from it, and put it directly into Wushang's mouth.

After a while, Wushang opened his eyes and what came into his sight was Jun Sa’s big face. He attacked without hesitation.

"You...Wushang, why do you hit people randomly? If I hadn't woken you up, you wouldn't be able to wake up until tomorrow." Jun Sa covered his eyes that were injured by Wushang and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Jun, I didn't mean it. It's just that you looked too scary." Wu Xin said guiltily.

Jun Sa ignored her and threw a medicine bottle over: "Give them these medicines."

Wushang took the medicine bottle and did not dare to delay. He quickly poured out the medicine for the soldiers around him to take.
