In the end, the two masters were killed by the two men together. The woman was injured in the battle. Tan Tai Hong took the woman away without paying attention to the mission. Tan Tai Hong could see that the woman was also a killer, but not the cold-blooded killer. At least from her action of saving the child, he could see that the woman had a kind heart.

Later, Tan Tai Hong finally learned the woman's name, Xueying. Xueying's mission at the prefectural governor's mansion was to discover where the manor's treasures were hidden. The governor was a ruthless tycoon, known for his wealth, but his mansion didn't hold much. Xueying's master believed the treasure must be hidden somewhere.

Although the two had different missions, their destination was the same. Tan Tai Hong and Xue Ying captured the county magistrate and tortured him to find out where the treasures were hidden. In order to repay Tan Tai Hong for saving her life, Xue Ying did not pass the news back to her master. In the end, all the treasures fell into the Soul-Snatching Pavilion.

Tan Tai Hong was afraid that Xueying would be punished by her master after returning, so he persuaded her to stay in the Soul-Snatching Pavilion. Only then did he know that Xueying was poisoned by her master.

Xueying said that she sometimes thinks of her childhood, as if she went to a prosperous place with her parents, and then she was separated from her parents. She felt that she was kidnapped, but the poison in her body made her memory very vague, and she didn't know whether the occasional memory was real or imagined.

Xueying's vague memory made her cautious. She found that the children who came into their training ground were either beggars without parents, or had lost their previous memories after being poisoned.

She was even more certain that she was captured by her master and trained to be a assassin, but because of the poison in her body that required taking an antidote every month, she could not escape the control of her master. However, she was different from other assassins and was completely loyal to her master. She had her own little thoughts and wanted to regain her memory and find her family.

Tan Tai Hong's kindness towards Xue Ying made Xue Ying feel for the first time that she was not a tool in the hands of her master. Her affection for Tan Tai Hong made her willing to confide in him.

Tan Tai Hong knew that some underworld organizations would also use poison to control their subordinates. He took Xueying to seek medical treatment and medicine everywhere, hoping to get Xueying away from her master, but he was never able to do so.

Xueying's lack of control also made her master aware of it. Xueying's skills were not the best among the death warriors, but she was still good among the female death warriors. Women could do more things than men, so Xueying was gradually infected with several more poisons.

Tan Taihong looked at Xueying lying on the bed with a look of reluctance in his eyes, and spoke in a calm voice, probably because he had accepted this reality.

"The poison in her body tortured her to such an extent that she was in unbearable pain. She said she would go back one more time to try to steal the antidote, and would come back regardless of whether she succeeded or not. She wouldn't tell me who her master was, nor would she allow me to follow her. However, she's been gone for two years, and I couldn't find any trace of her."

Tan Taihong looked for her like crazy, and he regretted agreeing to let her go back alone.

"She said her master was very powerful and that the Death Soldier Camp wouldn't be easy to break into. She threatened me with death and told me not to investigate her or go with her."

Whenever Tan Taihong thought of these things, he wished time could go back. He wanted to beat his past self to death.

"I don't dare to die either. I'm afraid she'll show up one day and not be able to find me. A few days ago, she escaped from that master. I happened to be returning to my manor and she was waiting for me outside. She said she was dying and wanted to see me one last time. Before I could ask her about her life over the past two years, she fainted. I thought Doctor Ji was a great doctor, so I wanted to try my luck one last time."

After Tan Taihong finished speaking, these people seemed to be much more relaxed. He took out a token from his arms and threw it to Mu Xiyue.

"Sister, I'm leaving my Soul-Drawing Pavilion to you. Xiaoliu will assist you in handling the affairs of the pavilion."

Mu Xiyue threw the token back. "Come on, forget it. I don't even bother to manage my own shops. I've left them all to Xiaotao and the housekeeper. Are you planning to commit suicide for my sister-in-law? Don't worry, there will be a miracle. Get some sleep first and get enough rest so you can take care of my sister-in-law. I'm here, and I promise to make her get better."

Tan Taihong didn't know that Mu Xiyue could heal. He just thought that Mu Xiyue was comforting him. His eyes moved, "Sister, can you come back to Luofeng with us tomorrow? I want to give her a name."

Mu Xiyue walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Hong, if you want to get married, you have to wait until sister-in-law gets better. Choosing a date is not the most important thing. What matters is that after sister-in-law wakes up tomorrow, she has to take good care of herself for ten days to half a month."

Tan Taihong was a little confused by Mu Xiyue's tone, "Sister, Doctor Ji said that this pill can only last for three days. Do you have a way to detoxify it?"

Mu Xiyue said solemnly: "Brother Hong, I will help you save your sister-in-law. I hope you will always be my brother."

The implication was that you should never betray me. How could Tan Taihong not understand? He suddenly thought that Mu Xiyue was a person with supernatural powers. Could she even bring people back to life? Hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

"Sister, even if Ah Xue hadn't happened, I would always be your brother. If you can really save Ah Xue, I will do whatever you want even if it costs me my life."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Why risk your life? Live well. If you risk your life, who will take care of your sister-in-law? Go eat first. I will treat your sister-in-law after I am full."

Dinner was ready. Tan Taihong was worried about Xueying, so Mu Xiyue asked someone to send the food to his room and told him to eat well and not wait until Xueying woke up so that he would not have the energy to take care of her.

Mu Xiyue returned to the palace for dinner and told Xiao Yibai about Xueying's matter.

"I'm going to treat Xueying tonight. Ask the kitchen to make me some sweet pastries. Xueying's condition is too serious. I just stabilized her a little. A complete cure will probably exhaust my mental energy. I'll oversee the treatment then. If it's too exhausting, I'll divide her treatment over two days."

"Xueying?" Xiao Yibai read the name and felt that it sounded familiar.

He called Qi Feng and asked, "Which clan's secret guard or assassin's name begins with the character 'Xue'?"

Qi Feng said without further ado, "Among the death squads at Dragon Ridge Mountain, there's a team whose name begins with the word 'Xue'. The leader is called Xuefeng. This team has about twenty people, all with their own specialties. We only know one named Xuefeng, one named Xueling, and one named Xuening. We don't know the others' names."

Xiao Yibai waved his hand to let Qi Feng go. "I feel a little familiar. If Xueying came from Longji Mountain, then she must be a member of that elite team."

Mu Xiyue was now even more interested. She quickly finished her meal and tried to wake the man up as soon as possible. Maybe she could even provide some useful information.

Xiao Yibai instructed Uncle Fu to ask the kitchen to prepare pastries and send them to the Princess's Mansion. Mu Xiyue meant that treating Xueying would be very exhausting, so he had to go to the Princess's Mansion to watch over her.

When Xiao Yibai arrived, Mu Xiyue was already treating Xueying. Tan Taihong was sitting at the table. There was a screen between them, so Xiao Yibai naturally couldn't see the bed, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the room.
