"Going alone?!" He had seen what the Shen family did. Last time, together with Baili Jing and the defenders in the city, they all suffered losses. Why did he go alone?

"Yes, the master said that bringing people with him was a burden, so he went alone. At first, the master hid well, but somehow he was discovered by the Shen family. When he came back, he was covered in wounds and could not bring the master back with him, so he had to come to find Mr. Bai."

"Where is Suye now?"

"Fengsha Town."

Baili Yao said nothing. She had just heard about Fengsha Town today. "How long will it take us to get there?"

"It will take two days. We have to walk through a stretch of sandy terrain. I have already prepared everything. We will go there by camel. The master is being kept alive by Mr. Bai's medicine, so we should be there in time."

Baili Yao was anxious, and in order not to be delayed, he changed horses on the way and did not rest until night.

"Cough cough..." Zhong Nan coughed a few times in the back. He was also injured, but he ignored it in his haste.

"Zhong Nan, stop!" Baili Yao stopped. Zhong Nan rode over on a horse. His face looked very ugly, his lips were dry and chapped, his hair was messy, and he looked like he was about to fall.

After resting for a while, they found that there was an inn not far away. "Let's go to the inn to stay." Baili Yao got on the horse.

"But master..." Zhong Nan coughed a few more times and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Follow my orders, hurry up."

Zhong Nan had no choice but to nod. When they arrived at the post station, Baili Yao discovered that Zhong Nan's wounds were very deep and the bandages were wrapped very thickly, now sticking to the flesh.

"Mr. Bai, don't worry about me. Take a night's rest and go to the master's place." Zhong Nan said weakly as he lay on the bed with sweat on his forehead.

"I'll treat you first. You stay here to recover and then go back to Yuncheng." Baili Yao said seriously, and the topic showed that it could not be refused.

"But……"

"But? But what? They also know the way there, so you don't have to follow them. Besides, if you die, will Su Ye be happy to know?" Baili Yao seemed to have failed to convince him, and continued, "You are so badly injured. If you can't hold on during the journey, whether I save you or not, won't that waste even more time?"

Zhong Nan bit his lip and finally shut up.

Baili Yao gave him acupuncture and gradually removed the bandages on his body. Zhong Nan had a slight fever as he had not rested or eaten properly for too long.

Baili Yao cleaned his wound and cut out a lot of rotten flesh. After everything was cleaned, she applied a medicinal bandage and wrapped it up. "You stay and take care of him. Remember, if he encounters Fengsha Town, you must stop him and tell him that I don't allow him to go. If he insists on going, let Suye drive him out of Yunshui Pavilion."

"Yes."

Baili Yao let everyone take a brief rest, and then they continued on their journey with water and dry food.

When they reached the border of Fengsha Town, they changed to camels and had a reliable guide leading the way. They walked slowly. It wasn't hot in the desert but it was dry. She felt dehydrated. She drank some water, but then she felt sleepy. She fell asleep while holding the camel and almost fell off.

A short rest can help people regain their composure. They arrived around noon.

Suye was arranged to live in an empty mud house and was taken care of by two people.

Baili Yao was so anxious that she almost fell off the camel, but fortunately she was caught by a guide.

"Thank you," Baili Yao thanked him and ran inside.

"Aye!" Baili Yao saw Suye's pale face as soon as she entered.

The people around stepped back, "Go boil some hot water!"

Where there are houses, it means that people will stay there. Fortunately, there is a seasonal water source not far from here.

Suye's eyes were tightly closed, his fists were clenched tightly, there was coagulated blood on his hands, his pulse was extremely unstable, and he was indeed relying on his medicine to keep himself alive.

"Come and help me take off his clothes."

The two young men from Yunshui Pavilion gently helped Suye up. It was obvious that he had received simple treatment and bandage.

After he took off his clothes, he found that the multiple knife wounds on his body were festering and some were inflamed and needed to be cleaned immediately.

Baili Yao said nothing, quietly cleaning his wound. Blood flowed out, and her nose felt sore. Suye had been desperately looking for the pearl for her sake...

She tried to calm herself down and quickened her movements.

"Cough cough..." Su Ye coughed up blood. Baili Yao wiped it for him. His body was horribly covered with blood, not a single piece of healthy skin.

"Aye, hold on, hold on." Baili Yao was still worried. Suye seemed to hear his words and his eyelids moved, but he felt his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't open his eyes.

After cleaning the wound, she let Su Ye lie down flat.

"Mr. Bai, the people here said that the water source will disappear. This place is very close to the main city, so why don't we go to the main city."

"How long does it take to get to the main city?" Baili Yao asked.

At this time, a guide outside leaned over and said, "It's not far. The road ahead is wide and we can walk fast."

Baili Yao touched Suye's wrist and found it was okay to move it, "Okay."

Not knowing who got a cart, Baili Yao wondered if the cart would work, and worriedly went over to take a look. The wooden wheels were relatively thick, and just as the guide said, the road was indeed easy to drive on. She didn't expect that the road surrounded by the desert would be a dirt road. What she didn't expect was that the main city of Fengsha Town was actually similar to the environment of Yuncheng where she was.

There is almost no sand in the main urban area, and the water supply is very sufficient. It is a very strange place, but people here do not accept banknotes, only physical objects such as silver.

Baili Yao had nothing on him except some trivial amounts of silver and a medicine box.

They found an inn and luckily they had enough money to stay for a few days.

There were so many people, so Baili Yao naturally asked a few of them to go back and get the money. When they came in, they didn't use a cart, for fear of attracting attention, so they had people carry Su Ye in in batches. It should be fine now, so Baili Yao left only one person behind. He was worried about the rest, but Baili Yao still insisted. Their clothes were mostly the same, so such a large group of people would be the most eye-catching. He, Su Ye and another person came in at daybreak, and the rest came in after dark.

After receiving Baili Yao's order, the others left the city overnight.

Suye's breathing gradually stabilized. She touched his pale cheek and soothed his frown. "It's okay, Suye, Suye, you have to get better soon." As if he heard her words, Suye's brows relaxed.

Fengsha Town is still brightly lit at night, and it is as prosperous as an imperial city.

Baili Yao was very hungry and tired, so he first fed Suye some porridge and then took turns going downstairs with the remaining person to eat. Baili Yao went later. There were many people eating on the first floor, so he found a secluded corner to sit down.
