The next day, Su Ye woke up early and found Baili Yao sleeping soundly.

He looked at her sleeping face, then bent down and gently kissed her forehead.

Outside, Zhong Nan had already prepared two horses and was waiting for him.

"Master, do we really have to go to the Shen family to look for the ring... Master, don't you think about the beads anymore?" Zhong Nan asked puzzled.

Su Ye got on his horse. It was just dawn. "We need to investigate the whereabouts of the Shen family. Most of them are crazy. Be careful."

"Master, why would you take such a risk for a woman..."

Su Ye glared at him with cold eyes, "I'm sorry, Master..."

Suye rushed to Yunshui Pavilion. Although Baili Yao told him to put this matter aside for the time being, he wanted to keep this matter in mind because she wanted the pearl. Baili Yao didn't seem like someone who was greedy for immortality, nor did she want to develop a medicine for immortality as rumored by the outside world. As for why she wanted the pearl, she didn't explain it to him.

Su Ye always felt that there was something between him and Baili Yao. She seemed to be hiding something and didn't completely trust him... He could understand that. He could understand that she was hiding things from him. He was the same.

Suye rode quickly to Yunshui Pavilion. There were some things he had to handle himself before he could feel at ease. Only after he had handled them well could he take care of Baili Yao with peace of mind.

When Baili Yao woke up, Su Ye was gone, and he was not there when she ate.

"He left without saying a word?" Baili Yao was a little surprised. Xiaohai and Jinkui didn't see Suye.

"There's no need to worry about him. He's used to being alone." Baili Jing, who was eating quietly, suddenly spoke. Batu just kept eating and had no idea what they were talking about.

"Brother, how come you know Suye?" Baili Yao was just curious, but unexpectedly Baili Jing was stunned. He never knew that his name was Suye...

"He is a man of the underworld. We got to know each other after some contact..."

Baili Yao looked at him and realized that he was hiding something from her, but she didn't want to expose it. "Oh," Baili Yao didn't ask any more questions and just ate quietly.

Su Ye left without saying a word. Baili Yao really couldn't feel at ease. Usually the clinic was always busy, but today it was exceptionally quiet. Not only that, Yuncheng was very quiet and there seemed to be few pedestrians on the streets.

Jinkui came back from outside and closed the door directly. "What happened?" Baili Yao was still in a daze. Seeing Jinkui closing the door of the clinic, she asked curiously.

"Miss," Jinkui moved quickly. After closing the door, the room became a little dark. She lit a candle and closed the window.

"Miss, please go upstairs first." Seeing that she was nervous, Baili Yao followed her upstairs. They didn't usually live here, but they had reserved a room on the second floor in case of emergency.

Jinkui put away the candles and lowered her voice, "I came back from outside and saw that every household had closed their doors and windows. Cloud City was in trouble a few days ago. A man who passed by just now said that the Shen family might come again and said they were looking for something. The man didn't know what it was, so it's better for us to hide quietly."

Baili Yao sat down and sighed, resting her chin on her hand. Yuncheng was once a well-developed city, but now it is a chaotic city. "I think we can actually move to other places. We have also bought a house. This place is more chaotic than I thought."

Baili Yao motioned for Jinkui to sit down, and Jinkui sat opposite her. "Actually, with your current status, you can go to other towns, but you may not be able to leave recently. The city gates are probably blocked. General Baili is here, so he should be able to handle it."

"That's right, big brother is not going to take over this place, but the Shen family is playing dirty tricks, and it seems that they are good at using poison."

dong dong...

There was a slight noise coming from downstairs which Jinkui heard clearly, "Miss, it seems someone is coming in," she walked gently to the door and turned off the oil lamp. Baili Yao also listened quietly without making any noise.

Ring~Ring~A clear bell sound came from far away. He walked very slowly, and the sound gradually came closer. When he reached the door of the room they were in, it suddenly stopped.

The noise sounded a little scary. There was the sound of horse hooves on the street and the bells rang again. He opened the window and went out. There was the sound of swords clashing on the street. Baili Yao groped and quietly opened the windows. He and Jinkui looked down together.

A man in white clothes was fighting with several gangsters. The bells on his ankles were jingling. His white clothes were spotless and his hair was as black as ink.

During the fight, he looked up at Baili Yao, and Baili Yao met his smiling eyes. He easily killed the few people below, and then almost instantly, he squatted in front of the window on the second floor, holding the window with his hand. Before Baili Yao could react, he stood up and opened the window.

After Jinkui reacted, he immediately protected Baili Yao behind him. The man looked at the two people in front of him, and it was clear who was the master.

"What do you want to do?" Jinkui said. The man just glanced at her and then looked at Baili Yao's face again.

"I heard that Mr. Bai is an excellent doctor, so I just came to say hello."

"That way of greeting is a bit scary." Su Ye's voice came, and then he came down from the roof and stood beside the man.

Baili Yao looked at the two people in front of him in confusion. Su Ye looked at him with a cold face, while the man in white clothes looked at Su Ye with a smile on his face.

"I'm very curious, you like...ah..." Suye kicked him down, he fell to the ground, then instantly bounced up, he didn't blame Suye for kicking him, instead he looked at the place where he was kicked, a big footprint, "Suye, you bastard! Do you know how precious my clothes are?!" He raised his fist in exasperation. Suye ignored him.

Suye came in through the window. Jinkui had already lit the oil lamp and the window was lowered.

Su Ye grabbed Baili Yao and sat down, "People from the Shen family are coming," Su Ye took a sip of water and obviously rushed back. The sound of a bell was heard outside the window, and the man in white also climbed in from the window.

"The Shen family had left after their defeat a few days ago, but many branches of the martial arts sects in Yuncheng stayed here. The news that was released early this morning said that they had found the person the Shen family was looking for."

Baili Yao knew what he meant, the old beggar who gave him the wooden sign.

"But they have already found the ring, so why are they looking for him?"

Su Ye poured another glass of water. "The head of the Shen family's side branch is quite suspicious, and he may have other intentions, but that person may not be so easy to catch."
