The shopkeeper took the silver and couldn't help but sighed, "He is truly a noble family man. Even though the matter is not yet completed, he still generously gave such a large silver ingot."

Walking down the street, Qingyi commented with a smile, "Young lady, you're quite clever. Just by having someone run this errand, you've managed to get a million silver coins from the Princess of Chu and the Jin family. If they knew the truth later, they'd probably be furious."

But Shen Muxue does not have this optimistic attitude.

She responded, "These two are definitely not simple characters. They paid the money so readily this time. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. You go and remind Han Chenghe to be more careful."

Seeing that the destination was about to be reached, Qingyi instructed the driver to drive carefully and then left.

Unexpectedly, not long after sending Qingyi away, the driver accidentally hit someone.

Shen Muxue asked with a hint of concern: "How is that gentleman? Is he seriously injured?"

The driver was horrified and said incoherently: "He is covered in blood..."

Hearing this, Shen Muxue's heart tightened, and she quickly instructed, "Immediately carry him to the car and rush to the nearest clinic!"

"As ordered."

The driver quickly placed the injured person in the car and drove to a nearby medical institution.

In the car, when Shen Muxue was about to check the other person's condition, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it, instantly shortening the distance between the two.

The man opened his eyes, and although his face was a little indifferent, there was a hint of mischief.

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much. Are you interested in me?"

"Are you Bai Yu?"

Recall the last time you saw this person.

That was during the crab feast held in Liu Jing's mansion.

Not only did she reveal some secrets, but tragedy also occurred.

What a day of bad luck.

It was then that she decided to stay away from such people in the future.

"Even in my current state, the young lady still recognized me. I guess she really has feelings for me."

Bai Yu provoked the girl with his extremely innocent face, but instead of being annoying, it added a bit of unrestrained charm.

It is true that a good-looking man is pleasing to the eye no matter what he says or does.

Even though half of his face was covered in blood, he was still handsome.

Not only that, the damaged area exudes a heartbreaking feeling.

It's really impossible to ignore.

"Mr. Bai, you misunderstood. I only have the memory of an ordinary person. I don't care about you in particular. Please let go."

After struggling for a while, Shen Muxue finally managed to break free from the restraints.

Then, the man took a breath and his face turned paler instantly.

At this time, the driver said, "Miss, we have arrived at the clinic."

Suddenly, Bai Yu responded, "Let's go to Taohua Lane instead. The doctors here can't treat my injuries."

Shen Muxue was extremely helpless about this, thinking that as long as it could be cured, it would be good enough, so why should she be so picky.

"I'm still waiting to go back and rest early. Who wants to take care of these troubles?"

Although she was a daughter of a noble family, she could still tell whether the wounds on Bai Yu's body were caused by collision or sword.

I don't want to have anything to do with this person again, and I don't want to get into trouble because of it.

Since you have been so kind as to send him here for medical treatment, you have done your utmost.

Regardless of what nonsense Bai Yu said, Shen Muxue walked straight out of the car and said, "Okay, just help me."

Just as she walked past Bai Yu, the latter suddenly rushed towards Shen Muxue, his bloody face only inches away from hers.

When their eyes met, the atmosphere became very awkward.

Bai Yu smiled with a hidden sniper in his smile: "If you don't go to Taohua Lane, then you know what will happen next. The countdown begins: three, two, one."

Just as the man driving the car was about to open the curtain, Shen Muxue, under pressure, had to hurriedly say: "Uncle Wen, please take us to Taohua Lane!"

The driver was confused. "But we're already at the clinic, and it looks like this customer's injuries are pretty serious..."

"Stop talking and just do it."

The carriage did not stop and slowly moved towards Taohua Lane.

Inside the car.

Bai Yu put his hand away, leaned against the wall, stared at Shen Muxue intently, and asked with a hint of a smile: "Do you really mind me getting close to you so much?"

Shen Muxue turned her head to one side, pretending not to hear the question.

His eyes suddenly focused on the sachet on her waist, and he grabbed it with his hand as fast as lightning.

"What are you doing? Give me back the sachet!"

Seeing the familiar tiger-shaped jade pendant in Bai Yu's hand, Shen Muxue became extremely anxious and tried to take it back several times but failed.

The other party teased her, "You were so dignified and self-possessed before, why are you rushing into my arms now? Was everything just an act? Are you actually planning to...

Attack me?"

"You are talking nonsense!"

After saying this, Shen Muxue gritted her teeth in anger.

She secretly swore in her heart that if time could go back, she would let the car run over this person instead of letting him get on the car easily.

I will never let him join the itinerary in such an entangled way.

However, at this moment, Bai Yu was gently stroking the jewelry in his hand, with an imperceptible emotion flashing in his eyes.

When he looked across at me, he concealed his thoughts and said jokingly, "This little ornament looks very unique. Why not give it to me as a souvenir?"

Shen Muxue clenched her fists even tighter.

I am afraid that the more I value it, the more opportunities it gives the other party to be proud.

So she chose another strategy.

"If you like it, take it. It's not mine to begin with."

As he spoke, Shen Muxue also imitated the same posture and leaned aside.

But this attitude could not be completely concealed from others.

"If it's not yours, why are you carrying it with you?" he demanded.

"It's said that this item can ward off evil and suppress evil, making it perfect for fighting those demons and monsters."

Bai Yu didn't fully believe this answer. "Then who is its real owner?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Muxue calmly replied: "I got it from Shen Leyao."

Hearing this, the other person's handsome face suddenly changed color.

He grabbed her wrist roughly and shouted, "You're lying! There's no way it was a gift from her."

Despite the excruciating pain in her wrist, she still managed to say, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but since you think it's a treasure, I'll give it to you. Why are you reacting so violently?"

Faced with her rebellious attitude, Bai Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment, and finally threw the jade pendant back to her cruelly.

"Something this shabby isn't worth mentioning."

After saying this, he suddenly opened the curtain and jumped out of the car.

This scene surprised Shen Muxue.

Even when injured, he was able to display his extraordinary martial arts skills. Could he be pretending?

After rearranging her accessories, the woman finally felt at peace and sighed that she had finally gotten rid of the plague god.

We must leave this place immediately to prevent that person from suddenly appearing again.
