Yun Mengting clutched the medicine box tightly, her mind brooding. The sounds of the men in black approaching, she needed to find a safe place quickly. While her medical skills were impressive, they alone wouldn't be enough to fully combat the threat lurking in the shadows amidst this maneuvering game.

"Mengting, hurry up!" Ling Xuan turned around from the front, his expression solemn. He glanced around, as if looking for a place to take temporary refuge.

"We can find a hidden place first. I have some medicines that can be used to cover our tracks." Yun Mengting said as she took out a few small bottles of medicine from the medicine box and followed closely behind Ling Xuan.

"Okay, let's find a place to hide first." Ling Xuan nodded in agreement, took her through an alley, and listened attentively to the movements behind them.

There was a dilapidated courtyard not far away. Ling Xuan walked quickly towards it, holding Yun Mengting's hand. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit desolate, but this place might be a place where they could hide for a while.

The two hid in a corner. Yun Mengting quickly opened the medicine box and handed Ling Xuan several bottles of medicine. She prayed silently in her heart that these medicines would help them block out the smell and conceal their whereabouts.

"Can the medicine you prepared help us hide?" Ling Xuan asked in a low voice, looking towards the entrance of the yard nervously, fearing that the man in black would appear at the next moment.

"This is a spice I made myself, combined with the anti-anger powder, it should be effective," Yun Mengting said, a little worried. She knew the effects of this medicine wouldn't last long, so she had to act quickly.

"Hurry, let's apply it quickly." Yun Mengting quickly applied the potion to the two people, trying her best to cover up their smell and heat. The two waited quietly in the corner, and heard the footsteps of the man in black gradually receding.

"We seem to be safe for now." Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, his eyes were still alert.

"Yes, but we can't stay too long." Yun Mengting knew that the man in black would discover their tracks sooner or later, and she had to come up with a way to deal with it.

She looked around, her eyes wandering to the half-open door. "Maybe we can find a safer way out from here."

Ling Xuan nodded and cautiously approached the door with Yun Mengting. The moment they pushed the door open, they saw a shabby study room. Several old paintings hung on the walls, and dusty books lined the shelves, giving off a stale atmosphere.

"We should be able to hide here for a while." Yun Mengting said, pulling Ling Xuan in.

However, it seemed that fate did not intend for them to have such an easy time. Just as they had just hidden in the study, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps and low conversations outside the courtyard.

"They will never go far. This is the last choice." The voice of the man in black sounded in his ears, with an undercurrent of threat.

Yun Mengting's heart tightened. She turned around, her eyes firm, "Ling Xuan, we must think of a solution quickly. We can't let them find us."

Ling Xuan took a deep breath and murmured, "Let's look for clues in those books. Maybe we can find some ways to deal with the men in black."

So, the two began to search in the study, using the dim light to flip through the dusty books page by page. At this moment, Yun Mengting's eyes fixed on an ancient medicine book, the pages of which revealed a strong herbal aroma.

"Look at this!" Her voice was filled with excitement as she flipped open the book, her eyes suddenly lighting up. "This is the recipe for a concealing potion! If used properly, it can create a drug that hides auras, and even make the messenger invisible for a short period of time!"

Ling Xuan came over immediately, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Can you mix it?"

"Of course, but the required herbal materials are not here. We need to find other materials." Yun Mengting said, and was already thinking about how to obtain these herbs.

"Then go out and search first." Ling Xuan whispered, a spark of a plan flashing in his eyes, "I'll attract their attention from the side and buy you some time at the same time."

"You have to be careful!" Yun Mengting was a little worried, but Ling Xuan's determined gaze made her understand that things were imminent. The two of them could only embark on an unknown journey again, exploring a path to safety and hope.

Cautiously exiting the study, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting adjusted their breathing, preparing for the upcoming challenge. They knew that although the road ahead was thorny, as long as there was light in their hearts, they would surely find a way out.
