It was already the afternoon of the next day when Yu Guiwan woke up again.

The room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. She supported herself with one hand and sat up.

"Awake?" Chu Yue walked up to her and put the back of his hand against her forehead.

"Still have a slight fever." Chu Yue brought the medicine from the table again and said, "Drink it."

Yu Guiwan took the medicine bowl and asked nervously, "Master, how is Xie Sui?"

"Drink the medicine first and I'll tell you."

Chu Yue coaxed her with a child's tone, and only spoke after watching Yu Guiwan finish the whole bowl of medicine: "As long as he can wake up within seven days, then he will have survived."

"If not..."

Chu Yue’s words were very clear; at this point, all we could do was leave it to fate.

Yu Guiwan was stunned, her eyes flickering several times in succession. "Master, is there really no way at all?" she asked without giving up.

Chu Yue sighed softly.

After a moment, he said, "If we can find another fire lotus bud, perhaps we can buy him a little more chance of survival."

"I'll go find it right now."

She quickly got out of bed, having already made her decision.

"Ah Wan." Chu Yue called her and said with difficulty, "Even if we find fire lotus in this season, it will have already bloomed. We need the buds to use it as medicine."

Yu Guiwan paused, "Master, Xie Sui was shot while trying to save me. I can't just watch him die like this."

"I can not do it."

She almost trembled as she spoke those words.

"Go ahead. Changqing Mountain might have what you want." Chu Yue did not stop her this time and told her the whereabouts of Huo Lian.

Chu Yue understood Yu Guiwan's personality very well. She would not easily change her mind about things she had made up her mind about.

……

"Junior sister, you're here." Xu Huizhou saw Yu Guiwan come in and gave up his seat beside the bed.

Xie Sui's skin was originally fair, and now he was lying on the bed injured and lifeless. If it weren't for Chu Yue's medicine that kept him alive, it would be hard for anyone to believe that Xie Sui was still alive.

"Brother, please send a message to Prince Chen's Mansion to inform the news about me and Xie Sui. Don't let the news leak out." Yu Guiwan asked Xu Huizhou. Now he didn't know the whereabouts of Bei Chu and the others.

If they are still alive, they would probably come to Yuhua Mountain to look for them.

"Okay, leave it to me, Junior Sister, don't worry."

Yu Guiwan saw Xie Sui was about to set off for Changqing Mountain. Now was the time when she couldn't afford to waste any more time. She had to hurry down the mountain before the sun set.

Before leaving, both of them came to see Yu Guiwan off. Chu Yue handed the package to her and patiently instructed her, "There are medicine and food in it. Also, don't spend the night in Changqing Mountain."

"I've remembered that. Master and brothers, please go in quickly."

Yu Guiwan jumped on his horse, waved to the two of them, and his figure on horseback quickly disappeared.

Xu Huizhou looked worried and said, "Master, why don't you let me go with my junior sister? It's too dangerous for Chang Qingshan to go alone." He originally wanted to go with his junior sister, but the master didn't agree.

The master clearly knew that it was dangerous for a girl to go into the mountains.

"This is a debt she has to pay back, and no one else can interfere." Chu Yue looked at the magnolia tree not far away and said mysteriously.

"What does this mean?" Xu Huizhou looked puzzled.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed." Chu Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't know martial arts, and if you go with them, you might end up holding your junior sister back."

Xu Huizhou: "..." He asked unnecessary questions.

Shihan Town.

It was already 11:00 PM when Yu Guiwan arrived. She led her horse and found an inn to stay in. After a short rest, she would go into the mountains early the next morning.

As soon as she entered the inn, a waiter came forward to take the horse away and asked politely, "I wonder if this guest is staying here or just stopping by?"

"I want a guest room and a pot of hot tea delivered to the room." Yu Guiwan lowered her voice slightly. She was wearing men's clothes, a bamboo hat, and a long sword on her back.

"Please come this way, sir." The waiter walked in front to lead the way. When he passed by Yu Guiwan, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the package behind her.

"This is it. If you have any instructions, just tell us."

Yu Guiwan said "hmm" lightly and handed over the silver.

The waiter took the silver and left with a smile on his face.

Yu Guiwan walked into the house, closed the door immediately, put down his package and sword, and then observed the surrounding environment.

downstairs.

"She looks like a wealthy person. Don't think that you can't tell that she is a woman disguised as a man just because she is wearing men's clothes and lowering her voice?" The man at the counter smiled sinisterly, his expression as if he was determined to win.

The waiter looked a little timid and said weakly, "Boss, she is carrying a sword. I'm afraid she is not someone you can easily mess with."

The shopkeeper glared at the waiter and said, "What are you afraid of? Why would a woman use a sword? She's just trying to scare people with a sword."

"Besides, isn't there something added to the tea?"

……

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the man quietly opened the door and walked into the house.

He saw the curled-up figure on the bed and sneered in a low voice, "A woman dares to come out and wander the world? She really doesn't know her place." Then he saw the package hanging next to her and walked towards it with light steps.

As soon as the man's hand touched the package, he felt a cold touch on his neck.

"wanna die?"

Yu Guiwan didn't know when she stood behind him, and all his actions from the moment he entered the room fell into her eyes.

The man swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that this woman was really not simple. "Young man, spare my life!"

He begged for mercy, but his hands were doing other things.

The man took out a dagger from his waist, lifted the sword that was on his neck, and then stabbed Yu Guiwan fiercely.

Yu Guiwan raised his sword to block, causing the man's hand holding the dagger to hurt and the dagger fell to the ground.

Then she slashed out with her sword.

"what--"

The man covered the wound on his arm, his eyes full of disbelief. He didn't see how Yu Guiwan made the move. He had no idea that Yu Guiwan looked thin, but he didn't expect that he would hit a wall this time.

"This sword is to teach you a lesson." She said coldly.

"get out."

"Thank you, young man, for sparing my life!" The man crawled out of the house.

Only then did Yu Guiwan take out a handkerchief from his bosom and wipe the blood off the tip of the sword with a frown.

She didn't have time to deal with this black shop at this moment, otherwise she would never let such a scum go.

From the moment she entered the store, she vaguely sensed something was wrong. There was a hint of hostility between the eyebrows of the shopkeeper and the waiter, especially the waiter, who had been staring at the package behind her since he came in.

If this place wasn't the closest to Changqing Mountain, she wouldn't have stayed in this inn.

Then she deliberately asked for a pot of tea to test it out. She was not a fool. As soon as she smelled the tea, she knew that it was spiked with the knockout drug commonly used in the military.

So, just sit back and wait.
