The moonlight is clear and beautiful, and the bright full moon is like a gorgeous round disk, hanging in the inky black sky.

The thin clouds hovering around the full moon give it a layer of elegant, tranquil and mysterious color.

A warm bonfire was lit outside the cave, and laughter and joy filled the entire mountain pass.

At this moment, Shen Peiqing was staring at Rong Su with burning eyes. His eyes, as dark as thick ink, were filled with an emotion that others could not understand. Under the reflection of the silver moon, they showed a hint of luster.

Why did he block the sword for him? Why did he insist on finding medical books to heal his meridians?

Rong Su understood it very well. Seeing that he was so eager for an answer, she calmly took the opportunity to ask for what she wanted most.

"Now that you mention it, I won't hide anything anymore."

When Shen Peiqing heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Make a deal with me, Shen Peiqing. Now I am the only one who can save you. Only I can help you get revenge."

She looked straight into his eyes which slowly darkened into a ball of darkness, and his expression instantly became sinister and cold.

"Deal? You saved me in order to make a deal with me?"

Rong Su saw that his face was gradually covered with anger, and his eyes were filled with cold snow that was gradually freezing, and his gaze was as deep as the sea.

Unsure what was going on, she frowned slightly, her eyes firm and serious. "That's right. I saved you in the hope of striking a deal with you. I didn't bring it up with you at first because I wasn't sure I'd find the medical book. I wouldn't do anything without confirmation. But things are different now."

He paused, glanced at Yuan Shen who was talking and laughing with Jiang Yanyu not far away, then turned back to look at him, every word he said was sincere and earnest.

"Now, I will soon be able to obtain the medical book. With the medical book, I can save you. So, Shen Peiqing, you should also want to practice martial arts again as soon as possible. How about making a deal with me?"

Shen Peiqing clenched his lowered hands for a long moment, moving his thin lips as he looked deeply at her, his tone slightly mocking: "Why do you think you're the only one who can save me? Gu Yun is also a doctor, do you think his medical skills are worse than yours?"

She really couldn't refute this statement. Gu Yun's medical skills were better than hers. However, Rong Su took two steps towards Shen Peiqing. After seeing this, he didn't move. His dark eyes stared at her as she slowly approached.

Rong Su stared at him with immense confidence: "My medical skills can help you completely heal your meridians within a year. If you want to speed up the pace of revenge. Shen Peiqing."

These words, undoubtedly like a temptation from the messenger of hell, echoed in his ears, giving rise to the hatred that had long been deeply rooted in his heart.

Rong Su saw a flicker of hesitation in his eyes and couldn't help but raise her lips slightly as she continued, "Shen Peiqing, your brother treated you so badly. He even intended to steal the throne you were about to inherit. Don't you hate him? Aren't you angry? Are you willing to be a waste, wandering around in this world in a daze, and then die in such an unclear way?"

Shen Peiqing's clenched fists were shaking, his eyes grew colder, slowly revealing endless hatred that made people tremble with fear.

His voice was low and cold, spilling from his pale, thin lips: "I will not die in vain. I will not become a waste."

Hearing this, Rong Su raised her eyebrows and smiled wider, knowing that she had convinced him. She crossed her arms with one hand and looked at him with a smile.

"Okay. Then make a deal with me. I'll help you heal your meridians."

Shen Peiqing raised his eyes and looked at her with his bottomless black eyes: "Then what do you want?"

Hearing him finally mention this, she lowered her head slightly, and when she looked up at him again, she smiled with an almost crazy smile: "Revenge."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Shen Peiqing's eyes. Then he looked at the fierce and cold smile on her face and understood something. He slowly loosened his clenched fists and lowered his eyes.

His voice seemed to have returned to its coldness, like the murmur of a deep spring: "Okay. I promise you."

Hearing that he had agreed to her, Rong Su showed a genuine and happy smile, and her eyes were even more beautiful than the crescent moon.

"I won't let you down, Shen Peiqing."

Shen Peiqing raised his eyes to look at her, lost in thought, then looked away again, saying calmly, "Yeah."

"Sister Rong! Brother Shen! Come here quickly! It's so cold over there, come and sit, it's warm here!" Gu Yuer's excited call came from not far away.

Rong Su was in a good mood. She raised the half-eaten mooncake in her hand and replied in a raised voice: "Okay! I'll be right there!"

As she spoke, she turned sideways and glanced at the silent Shen Peiqing: "Go ahead."

Then she smiled, took a big bite of the mooncake, and strode over.

Shen Peiqing stood still, looking up at Rong Su who was gradually walking away. Her figure was hazy in the moonlight, like a wisp of smoke drifting in the wind, which might disappear in the blink of an eye.

His eyes were dark, and a hint of self-mockery flashed across them, but it quickly disappeared, leaving no trace, leaving only boundless indifference.

The day after the festival.

Early in the morning, two people wearing dark blue Yuanzhen costumes stood outside the cave.

When they heard that people from the Yuanzhen clan were coming, they all became a little wary. Only Rong Su didn't show any nervousness on her face, as if she could see the purpose of these two people's visit.

"Don't worry, we've been working hard for so many days, now is the time to fight back. If I'm not mistaken, the people outside are here to welcome Yuan Shen back."

Yuan Shen was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew about Rong Su's plan, but it had been so long since it was implemented, and there was no movement from the Yuanzhen people. But now, could it really be true?

"We have to go out and see whether the people outside are enemies or friends. Young master, let me accompany you to take a look." Uncle Lin has followed Yuan An for many years and has seen many big scenes. Such things will not scare him.

When Yuan Shen heard what Uncle Lin said, he nodded with a solemn expression and walked out.

After seeing this, Uncle Lin also followed Yuan Shen out.

When Jiang Yanyu saw them go out, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety. She looked at them and seemed to want to follow them out, but Rong Su stretched out her hand to stop her.

She was stunned, and then her face was filled with worry. She begged Rong Su: "Miss Rong, just let me go and take a look. I'm worried."

Rong Su refused coldly: "No. If you leave, all our efforts will be wasted."

Gu Yun saw Jiang Yanyu's worry and said soothingly, "Miss Jiang, please trust Master Yuan. He will definitely be able to do it well."

Jiang Yanyu listened to Gu Yun's words, and the worry on her face was still there, but she did not beg Rong Su to let her go. She just kept staring at the exit.

Not long after, Uncle Lin came back. When Jiang Yanyu saw him, she looked behind Uncle Lin but didn't see Yuan Shen. Her face was filled with anxiety. "Uncle, where is Shen?"

Rong Su also looked at Uncle Lin and felt a little nervous.

Uncle Lin looked at Rong Su with a smile on his face, his tone full of praise: "Miss Rong, your plan really worked. Now the elders are willing to take the young master back. They have once again recognized his identity. I came back to tell you this news, and then I will simply pack up and go find the young master."

Hearing this, Rong Su's nervous heart calmed down and she nodded, "Okay. Then we can proceed to the next plan."

After hearing this, Uncle Lin's expression gradually became serious and he nodded seriously.

After Uncle Lin packed up and left, Rong Su looked at Jiang Yanyu, with a hint of sadness and worry on her face.

She was not a person who could comfort others, so she didn't know how to comfort Jiang Yanyu. Of course, she had no obligation to comfort her, but...

A trace of confusion flashed across Rong Su's eyes. She felt very strange, and the scene of everyone surrounding her and showing concern for her that day kept appearing in her mind.

"Don't worry. I will let Yu'er comfort Miss Jiang. Yu'er always has a way to comfort people." Gu Yun seemed to see what she was thinking and said to her with a faint smile.

Hearing this, she just gave the other person a faint smile and nodded.

Since someone was comforting Jiang Yanyu, she didn't have to worry about it.

Next she should think about what to do next.

In fact, they did put in a lot of effort to bring down Yuan Feng this time.

A few days ago, they divided the work and cooperated with each other. Gu Yun and Shen Peiqing would disguise themselves as members of the Yuanzhen tribe, enter Yuanzhen through the tunnel, and then begin to spread the rumor that Yuan Shen had given up Jiang Yanyu.

Uncle Lin was responsible for secretly contacting other elders of the Yuanzhen tribe who were slightly familiar with Yuan An, and then using the authenticity of the rumors to trick the elders into helping Yuan Shen.

As expected, the elders of the clan sent people to pick up Yuan Shen today.

Now Yuan Feng will soon be exposed, or he will get angry.

It had been two days since Yuan Shen returned to Yuan Town. Just when Jiang Yanyu was becoming more and more worried, Uncle Lin came to pick them up.

Uncle Lin still took them through the tunnel.

"Uncle, is there any movement from Yuan Feng?" Rong Su was quite concerned about this and couldn't help but ask.

Uncle Lin's expression was also somewhat serious. "As soon as Yuan Feng learned that the young master had returned to Yuan Town, he immediately led his men there to arrest him, but was stopped by the other elders. After that, Yuan Feng repeatedly used the young master's previous violation of clan rules to persuade the other elders. If the elders hadn't still recognized the young master's identity as the heir, Yuan Feng would have succeeded long ago."

After hearing this, Rong Su felt much calmer. This meant that Yuan Feng had indeed been suppressed so far.

However, Yuan Feng looked as cunning as a fox. It was impossible for him to give up like this. He must have a trick up his sleeve, and he had not revealed enough clues.

Soon, they arrived at Yuan's house through the tunnel.

When I came to Yuan's house again this time, it looked brand new. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it.

The piles of weeds have disappeared, replaced by individual plants of clematis, which dot the entire backyard.

After Uncle Lin asked the servants to prepare the room for them, he hurried to do other things.

Until everyone was ready and had dinner at night, they gathered in a hall and talked around the table.

After living in the open air for more than half a month, they finally had a normal meal, which was indeed a feast for them.

Yuan Shen picked up a cup of tea and raised it towards them, his face full of joy and respect: "I, Yuan Shen, am grateful for everyone's care and help for Yu'er and me over the past few days. I will use tea instead of wine to toast everyone first."

Jiang Yanyu also followed Yuan Shen's example and raised her cup to thank Rong Su.

Seeing this, everyone raised their drinks and took a sip together.

"What should we do next?" Yuan Shen put down the cup in his hand and looked at Rong Su with sincere eyes and trust.

Rong Su had just put down the cup when she heard these words. She looked up and saw Yuan Shen's eyes full of trust in her. She suddenly felt a little strange. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and spoke slowly.

"Next, Mr. Yuan will naturally announce a happy event to the public."

When these words were spoken, everyone present looked confused.

"Miss Rong, what's the good news?" Yuan Shen asked in confusion.

Rong Su didn't keep anyone in suspense and said bluntly, "Inherit the position of clan leader."

Yuan Shen was stunned when he heard this. Uncle Lin was the first to react. He seemed to agree very much: "Young Master. The master has always hoped that you could inherit his position. I have the opportunity to see you sit in this position in my lifetime. I will die with peace of mind."

Yuan Shen sighed, reached out and patted Uncle Lin on the shoulder to comfort him, then looked at Rong Su, still with a puzzled look on his face.

"Miss Rong, I still don't understand what you mean. Although I have returned to Yuan Town and the elders still seem to recognize me, Yuan Feng will not let me inherit the position so easily. So I may not be able to successfully inherit the position of clan leader."

Rong Su placed his hands on the table, crossed his arms, rested his chin on the back of his hands, curled the corners of his mouth, and looked as if he had already made up his mind.

"You just need to spread the word that you will hold a clan meeting to announce your intention to inherit the position of clan leader. That way, Yuan Feng will definitely be unable to hold back and will take action. That will be our chance to completely overthrow Yuan Feng."

After hearing this, Yuan Shen seemed to have understood Rong Su's meaning. After thinking for a moment, he nodded calmly: "Okay. I understand."

After dinner, Rong Su found Shen Peiqing alone.

Shen Peiqing stood under a camphor tree not far away. The moonlight was hazy, and the pale silver light shone on him. His black robe was dotted with fluorescent light, adding some solemn beauty to the coldness that permeated his body.

I have to admit that Shen Peiqing is indeed a cool and handsome man.

"You're here?" Rong Su withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and walked over.

Shen Peiqing heard her voice and slowly turned around. His handsome face, which also had a filter, was looking at her indifferently. There was no emotion in his eyes, only a shallow and cold look.

"What do you want from me?"

Rong Su did not waste either of their time and took out a bag from her sleeve and handed it over. The other party saw it and looked at her in confusion. He did not take it but waited for her to explain.

Helplessly, she could only explain: "This creature is a tracking scorpion I cultivated myself. Remember the black-clad killer we encountered earlier?"

When Shen Peiqing heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he nodded.

Knowing that he remembered, she continued, "That time, a killer in black escaped. He was poisoned by me, and I added a spice to the poison. This scorpion of mine can track this spice. As long as you have this scorpion, you can find the killer in black who escaped that time."

After she said so much, Shen Peiqing probably understood what she meant. He reached out to take the bag, thought about it and asked, "Since the other party is a killer, and I have lost all my martial arts skills, do you really believe that I can catch him?"

He didn't look unconfident, but he looked at her eyes as if he was trying to find out something.

Since Rong Su never does anything without a chance of winning, she certainly wouldn't overlook this point and pointed to the bag in his hand.

"Inside of my poisonous scorpion, there's also a small bottle filled with paralyzing powder. Just sprinkle it on the person and they'll fall down in less than a second. They won't be able to move. Besides, I believe you can do it. Didn't you help me break through the siege of Yuan Feng's men before?"

"In order to heal your meridians, I believe you can endure the temporary pain."

Shen Peiqing stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled strangely: "Was the reason you made me unable to move before because of the small bottle in the bag?"

Hearing his words, Rong Su felt something was wrong and looked at him warily: "So what?"

There was a sly smile in Shen Peiqing's eyes. Rong Su looked at him and took a step back.
