I traveled through time with my best friend.

Bai Sheng came back to his senses, slowly walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the exquisite pastries and tonic soup in front of him, he did not intend to eat. Instead, he poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He looked at Ling'er and said, "You do a lot of things every day and go to many places. Have you heard anything?"

Ling'er's expression froze slightly. She knew what Bai Sheng meant. He just wanted to ask how Jiang Xue was doing now.

His eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, but I just came back from the courtyard of the White-robed Immortal, and heard from his men that the young lady seemed to be dying."

Bai Sheng's eyes tightened, his hands clenched slightly, and then he said coldly: "Go down."

"Okay." Ling'er put away her expression and slowly retreated.

After Ling'er left, Bai Sheng said to the people outside the window: "Keep an eye on her, maybe there will be a breakthrough."

"Yes."

The person outside the window left quickly after receiving the order.

It has been snowing on the Baishan Mountain these days, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Ling'er, wearing a thick fur coat, walked on the snow towards the Baishan Mountain, carrying a food box in her hand.

After taking just two steps, he stopped and looked back sharply. There was nothing but white.

Ling'er frowned slightly, thinking that she was seeing things, so she ignored it and continued walking forward.

After walking up a hill, there was a dead end. Ling'er took out a copper-gold token from her sleeve, pushed away the thin layer of snow on the wall to reveal a mechanism, and then placed the token in the mechanism. There was a loud bang, and the wall actually moved to the right, and there was a path behind it.

Ling'er took off the token and continued to walk inside. The road inside was obviously more difficult to walk on than the previous one, and it became steeper and steeper. The people following behind watched the mechanism slowly close and could only frown and quickly return.

In the cold cave, Jiang Xue was huddled in a corner with her body stiff. There was a layer of frost on her furrowed brows, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale with some small scars. A gust of cold wind blew past, and another cut immediately appeared on her face.

Jiang Xue touched the scar on her other wrist with one hand. Because the wound was not treated in time, there was still blood on it. With the other hand, she tightly grasped the jade whistle that Pei Zhijin gave her.

She blew the jade whistle several times every day, hoping that Pei Zhijin and Yi Yi could come to save her, but... the sound of the jade whistle only echoed in this cold cave, as if it could not be blown out.

As soon as Ling'er walked into the cold cave, she saw Jiang Xue curled up in a corner. A hint of sarcasm flashed across her lips, and then she tied her fur coat tightly and moved towards Jiang Xue.

"Miss, Ling'er is here to see you." Ling'er said as she put the food box in her hand on the ground.

Jiang Xue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she opened her eyes weakly. She looked at Ling'er, who was smiling like a flower in front of her, and glanced away with disdain.

Ling Er looked displeased at Jiang Xue's disdain for her, and said coldly, "Do you still think you are the spoiled Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Xue didn't say anything, nor did she look at Ling'er.

Ling'er was immediately furious. She grabbed Jiang Xue's chin and forced her to look at her. She said with a sinister look in her eyes, "Jiang Xue, you are just a medicine man now. Why are you so arrogant?"

Jiang Xue sneered, a hint of indifference flashed in her calm eyes, and one hand tightly grasped the jade whistle.

"Jiang Xue! What I can't stand the most is your arrogant attitude. Why does Bai Sheng like you and only you?" Ling'er said excitedly.

Jiang Xue snorted coldly, "Do you think Senior Brother would like someone like you?"

"You..." Ling'er grabbed Jiang Xue's neck and frowned, "You are in this state, but you are still so arrogant?"

Because her body was stiff, Jiang Xue felt the pain very late. Looking at Ling'er's vicious look, she closed her eyes.

Ling'er was so angry that she really wanted to strangle Jiang Xue to death, but she couldn't kill her now, so she could only push Jiang Xue away angrily. Jiang Xue's body hit the wall, spit out blood, and the jade whistle in her hand was also thrown out.

Jiang Xue watched the jade whistle slipping from her palm, so she endured the pain and crawled forward to grab the whistle. As soon as her hand touched the jade whistle, Ling'er stepped hard on Jiang Xue's hand.

Jiang Xue frowned, enduring the pain without saying a word.

Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't make any sound, Ling'er stepped on Jiang Xue's hand and twisted it hard a few times. Jiang Xue groaned in pain and grasped the ground tightly with his other hand.

"Jiang Xue, if it hurts, just scream. If you scream, maybe... I will stop."

"You...are...dreaming!" Jiang Xue's eyes turned red and veins popped out on her neck.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling'er twisted it a few more times without mercy. Jiang Xue immediately gasped in pain but endured the pain and didn't make a sound.

Only when bloodstains appeared under her feet did Ling'er stop and squatted down in front of Jiang Xue. She said coldly, "Hmph, don't expect anyone to save you, including Bai Sheng. When the full moon comes, you will die."

After saying that, he roughly opened the food box, took out the medicine bottle inside, cut Jiang Xue's wrist without hesitation, filled the bottle with blood, fed Jiang Xue a pill, then picked up the food box and stood up.

He looked down at Jiang Xue and said, "Master doesn't need so much of your blood anyway, so it's not excessive for me to use a little bit. The medicine just now is your compensation for your blood. If someone comes to take your blood later, you know what to say, right?"

Jiang Xue covered her still bleeding wrist with a cold look in her eyes, struggled to get up, and said in a hoarse voice: "My blood has come at a high price."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how noble your blood is." Ling'er said, then turned around and left.

Jiang Xue looked at Ling'er's departing figure, her eyes blurred. She remembered that when Bai Fan sent someone to take her blood, she had already swallowed all the poison in her body in advance.

Even if the poison doesn't kill them, the blood on their bodies is not clean.

"Hmph, you want to use my blood to help you live longer? Even if I die, I will take you with me." Jiang Xue leaned his head heavily against the wall, his breathing became weak, and then he fainted.

When Ling'er came down the mountain, she walked briskly with a smile on her face, and went straight to where she lived.

In a corner, someone looked at Ling'er coming down, then quickly turned around and walked towards Bai Sheng's yard.

After a moment, a surprised voice came from Bai Sheng's room, "Did you look carefully?"

The subordinate nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, I followed you all the way up the mountain and saw Ling'er open the mechanism with the token. I guess the cold cave must be inside."

Bai Sheng became excited, "What does the token look like?"

"Copper-gold color..." The subordinate recalled, "There is a pattern of a big bird on it."

Bai Sheng paced back and forth excitedly, looked at his men and ordered, "Go investigate tonight and make sure you get the token."

"Yes."

When Pei Zhijin reached the middle of the mountain, Ye Tong hurriedly stopped Pei Zhijin and said, "Sir, there are many dangers ahead. You should take a rest and conserve your strength."

"No need." Pei Zhijin said calmly.

Then he walked straight forward, and Ye Tong had no choice but to follow him.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Yiyi stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the towering peaks, with Wang Ziyan and Gu Yu standing beside her.

"Pei Zhijin still has some conscience. He knows to leave a way up the mountain for us."

Gu Yu said with some concern: "Let's go up quickly."

"kindness."

Lin Yiyi nodded, and then Gu Yu walked in front, Lin Yiyi walked in the middle, and Wang Ziyan followed behind.

At sunset, when it was completely dark, Lin Yiyi and the others finally climbed halfway up the mountain.

Pei Zhijin was almost approaching Baishan and experienced many traps along the way, but he was unharmed. Ye Tong only had his arm scratched by a hidden weapon, and no other serious injuries.

"Sir, we have arrived. I have just checked and found that there are many people guarding around. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get in."

Pei Zhijin stared ahead with deep eyes. Snow began to fall from the sky again, falling between Pei Zhijin's cold brows.

After a long while, Pei Zhijin pointed to the left and said, "There, the defense will be replaced soon."

Ye Tong nodded in surprise, and then followed Pei Zhijin and slowly moved to the left.

As expected, as soon as they got there, a group of people left. Pei Zhijin whispered, "Now."

Then he took the lead in using Qinggong to jump over, and Ye Tong did not dare to delay and flew over immediately after.

As soon as they entered, the people who were still guarding came back.

Pei Zhijin glanced at Ye Tong and said, "Go that way."

At night, Bai Sheng's men sneaked into Ling'er's room, trying to steal the token.
