At this time, Gu Yun had already come to her, his face full of anxiety: "Miss Rong, you are injured!"

Rong Su shook her head, enduring the pain of her wound. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the man in black who had just been poisoned by her suddenly get up from the ground and hurriedly run into the depths of the camphor forest.

Seeing this, she endured the pain and shouted: "We can't let him get away. We have to catch him and ask him some questions."

She was about to chase him, but Shen Peiqing grabbed her waist tightly. His voice was cold and reprimanding: "Take care of yourself first."

Rong Su felt the hand on her waist was quite strong, but she tried her best to endure it. She couldn't help but frowned and glanced, only to find a sword tassel thrown on the ground.

"There's a sword tassel over there. Gu Yun, go pick it up."

After hearing this, Gu Yun was worried about her injuries, but he turned around to pick it up.

Just as Rong Su was about to reach out to take it, her body suddenly flew into the air. She was so scared that her eyes widened. She saw Shen Peiqing holding her up with a face as cold as ice.

"Don't worry about that. Go back and treat your wound first."

Gu Yun also cared about this and agreed: "Yes, Miss Rong, go back and take care of your injury first."

Their expressions and attitudes were very firm. Rong Su had no way to refute them, so she could only go along with them and go back to treat her wounds first.

The wound felt very painful, but the pain was far less severe than the unforgettable pain she experienced in her previous life.

Shen Peiqing seemed to be holding her and looking straight ahead, but in fact his eyes were vaguely on her face. He noticed her little face, which was expressionless. The pain that had just appeared on her face was only for a brief moment, and then her face was as calm as still water, as if the horrific wound did not hurt at all.

Seeing her like this, there was some confusion in his eyes. What had she experienced that made her remain indifferent in the face of such a horrific wound?

Rong Su didn't know what Shen Peiqing was thinking. She was thinking about the sword tassel she had just picked up.

I always feel that the style of the sword tassel is very familiar.

Thinking of this, she looked at Gu Yun beside her. Seeing that his eyes were filled with worry, she was slightly startled. He also noticed her gaze and thought that her wound was painful, so he became more worried and asked anxiously: "Miss Rong, are you feeling very uncomfortable? We are almost there. I will take a look at your wound later."

Rong Su saw Gu Yun's concern, but she felt that his excessive worry was a bit excessive, so she changed the subject: "Gu Yun, let me see the sword tassel."

Gu Yun didn't expect her to want to see the sword tassel. He tried to persuade her, but his hand still reached for the sword tassel: "Miss Rong, since you are injured now, you should rest well first."

After taking the sword tassel, Rong Su began to observe it carefully and said to Gu Yun casually, "Hmm."

Gu Yun saw that she was so perfunctory to him, but she showed no signs of being angry. Instead, he didn't even realize that there was a helpless doting look in his eyes.

Shen Peiqing saw all of this, his slightly drooping eyelashes hiding the deep murderous look in his eyes.

Soon, the three of them returned to their hiding place safely and smoothly.

Shen Peiqing had just stepped into the cave holding Rong Su when Gu Yuer came out. When she saw their surprised smiles, her smile disappeared instantly when she saw the injury on Rong Su's shoulder blade, and she looked surprised and worried.

"Sister Rong! What happened to you? How did you get hurt?"

Her voice was so loud that it instantly attracted the attention of Yuan Shen and others in the cave.

They came out one after another and saw that Rong Su was injured, and they all looked worried.

"Miss Rong, why are you injured? Did you run into someone Yuan Feng sent and get hurt?"

Yuan Shen asked with concern, and suddenly thought of something. With a serious expression, he asked another question that even she was confused about.

Were those men in black that they met Yuan Feng’s men?

Rong Su was about to take out the sword tassel and hand it to Yuan Shen, but Shen Peiqing interrupted their conversation with a cold face and said in a solemn voice: "Check the wound first."

Then he carried her into the cave without saying a word, requisitioned the only stone bed in the cave, and laid her on the bed with quite gentle movements.

Then he turned to look at Gu Yun, his expression remained stern and serious: "Doctor Gu. I'm in trouble."

When Gu Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "That's what I should do."

Afterwards, Gu Yun came over to check her injuries. He looked at her, then at her shoulder that was stained red, and said in a gentle voice, "Miss Rong, I want to see your wound. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Rong Su nodded. She watched Gu Yun gently lift up her clothes from her shoulders, revealing half of her fair shoulders. But now there was an inch-long wound on her shoulder, with blood scabs on the wound, which looked like a very deep cut.

Shen Peiqing was standing aside and naturally saw the glaring wound. It was on the fair and delicate skin and was very unsightly. His mood became very bad and he didn't even know why.

She saw Gu Yun frowning and Shen Peiqing's stern expression. She didn't understand why they looked like that. It was just a minor injury. They were making a big deal out of nothing.

She is not a weak woman, so she can withstand this injury.

Thinking about it, Rong Su said softly and nonchalantly, "It's just a small cut. Just sprinkle some healing medicine on it. You don't have to look at me like that, or I'll look like a weak little woman."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun frowned at the same time. Shen Peiqing even spoke first, his eyes and brows became a little colder.

"Don't think you're so powerful just because you can use some minor poisons and don't consider yourself a woman anymore."

After hearing this, Rong Su narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Peiqing. Shen Peiqing's eyes were cold and he also stared at her closely.

"What's a little poison? Even if it's a little poison, wouldn't you be able to withstand it? You don't need to judge whether I'm powerful or not!"

The two stared at each other, neither willing to give in, the sparks between them about to ignite.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Gu Yun quickly spoke out to stop them. He didn't want Rong Su to get angry, as it would be detrimental to her recovery.

"Mr. Shen, why don't you go out first? Miss Rong's injury still needs to be treated. I can't be distracted."

He looked at Shen Peiqing and earnestly asked for his cooperation.

Shen Peiqing saw that Gu Yun wanted to stop the fight, so he suppressed the anger that was about to rise in his eyes, returned to a cold expression, and turned away without saying a word.

When they reached the cave, Yuan Shen and the others all looked at him. Gu Yuer was the first to ask about Rong Su's situation: "How is Sister Rong?"

Shen Peiqing looked indifferent, lowered his eyes, and replied calmly: "Wait until Doctor Gu comes out, then you can ask."

After saying that, he went to the cave entrance by himself, leaned against the rock wall, and looked into the distance in silence.

What happened to him? Why did his emotions fluctuate so violently just now, almost losing control and wanting to destroy something?

The crazy girl had been provoking herself like this for a number of days, but she had never felt the urge to destroy things like before.

Why is he here again? Has the disease recurred?

After a while, Gu Yun came out from inside. When everyone saw him, they all surrounded him.

He asked Rong Su about her situation one question at a time.

Gu Yun did not feel annoyed. Instead, he was happy for Rong Su because many people cared about her.

"Miss Rong's injuries have been treated. She just needs to rest for a few days and she will recover slowly."

When everyone heard Gu Yun say this, they felt relieved and went into the cave to see Rong Su together.

Shen Peiqing, who was leaning against the rock wall, naturally heard Gu Yun's words. He let out a breath, and his eyes were filled with emotions that others could not understand, and he himself did not understand.

Rong Su had just tidied her clothes when she looked up and saw a group of people walking in. Each of them was looking at her with worry on their faces.

At this moment, she felt a little dazed, because she seemed to have seen the scene of being truly cared for for the first time in a long time.

This kind of scene happened so long ago that she had forgotten what it felt like to be cared for.

"Sister Rong, are you okay? Does your wound hurt?" Gu Yuer looked at her with a sad face.

"Miss Rong, you should just take good care of your injuries from now on. Don't investigate those things for now. Your health is important." Yuan Shen was concerned about her.

"Yes, Miss Rong. There's no rush for those things. It's more important to take care of your health." Uncle Lin also nodded in agreement and looked at her with concern.

"Miss Rong, I remember that uncle went to the nearby stream to catch some fish yesterday. I will stew it for you later. It will be good for your health." Jiang Yanyu said to her with a smile.

Rong Su looked at them steadily. Her heart, which had not felt real warmth for a long time, now seemed to have regained some warmth and was beating slowly.

She stared blankly, listening to their caring words and concerned expressions.

Maybe this injury was worth it, at least it allowed her to experience the feeling of being cared for again.

However, she also didn't want to experience the feeling of being betrayed again.

Rong Su's heart, already moved, was slowly cooling down. Coming to his senses, he turned to look at Yuan Shen, pulled out a sword tassel from his sleeve, handed it to him, and asked, "Take a look at the totem pattern on this sword tassel. Does it look familiar?"

Yuan Shen was stunned, looked down at the sword tassel, frowned, then reached out to take it. Seeing him observe it carefully, his expression suddenly became serious.

"This sword tassel belongs to my clan, but only those close to the clan elders can use it. Miss Rong, where did you get it?"

He held the sword tassel and looked at Rong Su, his expression heavy.

"It was from the man in black who attacked us. He dropped it while running away."

Shen Peiqing walked slowly in from outside the cave. His expression had returned to its usual indifference, and he answered Yuan Shen's words calmly.

Gu Yun seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yuan Shen and Uncle Lin: "I wonder how many of the elders in the clan have people around them who could use this sword tassel?"

Uncle Lin understood what Gu Yun wanted to ask, and after a pause, he replied, "Not much. And now, Yuan Feng is the only one who holds the power in the clan. The other elders all follow Yuan Feng's lead."

"But where did you three meet the men in black?" Uncle Lin asked again.

Rong Su looked at Uncle Lin and said calmly, "We went to the residence of those two families, but when we arrived, they were gone. The house was in a mess, and the floor was covered in blood. They must have been in danger. As soon as we left the wooden house, we encountered the men in black."

Yuan Shen had already realized something, his face changed slightly, he clenched the sword tassel in his hand, and a layer of hatred appeared in his eyes.

"Yuan Feng must have noticed that we were investigating the curse, so he killed us to silence us!"

After these words were spoken, not only could it be concluded that those men in black were Yuan Feng's men, but it could also be concluded that the curse was definitely related to Yuan Feng.

Otherwise, Yuan Feng would not have secretly sent people to silence him. He was just covering up some unknown crime.

Rong Su thought of something else and looked at Uncle Lin again, asking, "I wonder if Uncle has contacted the people in the underworld that Master Yuan contacted before?"

Mentioning this, Uncle Lin also remembered, and his face showed a troubled look: "People in the underworld have their own rules. If the master doesn't go to them personally, they won't easily agree to help."

When I heard this, I realized that although Uncle Lin had contacted those people, they only did things based on the people they met.

"Without evidence, how can we defeat Yuan Feng?" Gu Yuer was simple-minded. She only thought that with evidence she could defeat Yuan Feng, and she was worried about not being able to find evidence.

Most of the others thought so too, but Rong Su was the only one who didn't think so.

Having evidence naturally adds an extra layer of persuasiveness, but the absence of evidence does not mean that there is no solution.

"If there is no evidence, then create evidence." Rong Su looked up at them and revealed a long-lost meaningful smile.

When they heard this, they looked at her in surprise and confusion.

"Miss Rong, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Shen was puzzled and asked humbly.

Rong Su didn't think about hiding anything and expressed her thoughts openly.

"Sometimes evidence can be obtained from the enemy, right? Since we can't find the evidence we need from the enemy for the time being, let's find a way to make the enemy reveal the evidence we need."

After hearing this, Yuan Shen frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about her idea.

The others were also thinking about it. It seemed that they didn't quite understand what she meant. She was wondering whether she should explain it in more detail.

The next second, Shen Peiqing's cold and solemn voice emerged slowly like a deep spring: "You mean, you plan to attack head-on, catch Yuan Feng in a trap, and force him to expose his weaknesses?"

He understood what he meant.

Rong Su felt a little surprised, but nodded in agreement: "That's right."

After listening to Shen Peiqing's explanation, Yuan Shen and the others understood Rong Su's plan.

At this time, Uncle Lin asked Rong Su: "What are you going to do, Miss Rong?"

When Rong Su heard Uncle Lin hit the point, she curled her lips and whispered mysteriously, "I'll write a plan for you later. Then you'll know what to do."

When they heard this, they looked at each other, feeling curious about what Rong Su said, but also confused about what she was thinking.

In the past few days, they have been proceeding step by step according to Rong Su's plan.

Before we knew it, it was a special holiday.

A perfect full moon hangs high in the pure black sky.

There are two beautifully colored lanterns hanging on both sides of the cave entrance.

Gu Yuer came out happily with two plates of mooncakes, walked in front of Rong Su, reached out and picked a nice one on the plate and gave it to her.

"Sister Rong, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Let's eat mooncakes!"

Rong Su looked at the mooncake for a long while before reaching out to take it, smiling faintly and saying, "Thank you."

"Hehe, you're welcome~" Gu Yuer jumped and ran to give mooncakes to other people.

She held the warm mooncake in her hand, and her heart seemed to feel the warmth of the mooncake and was getting warmer little by little.

"It's ridiculous that we, the lonely people, are celebrating a reunion festival here."

Shen Peiqing appeared beside her at some point, also holding a mooncake in his hand, and spoke these teasing words in a somewhat lonely and sarcastic tone.

Rong Su took a bite of the mooncake and did not deny Shen Peiqing's words. It was indeed ridiculous.

Shen Peiqing glanced at her sideways. Her pretty profile looked much softer under the silvery moonlight, and it looked like a frozen picture of tranquility and beauty.

For some reason, his mouth was one step faster than his brain, and he asked a question that even surprised himself.

"Why did you block that sword for me that day? Why did you keep looking for medical books to heal my meridians?"
