As night fell, moonlight streamed into the room through the window, and the cool light fell on Xue Fangfei.

She walked to the window and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

She recalled the days she had spent with Shen Yurong. Those so-called sweet memories now seemed like nothing but a joke.

"Shen Yurong, just wait, I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!" Xue Fangfei clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, almost pinching them to bleed.

She will no longer be weak, she will no longer back down. From now on, she will live for herself, for revenge!

Tong'er walked in with a bowl of medicine.

"This is the medicine Sister Jiang Li asked me to make for you. She said it can help your throat heal." Tong'er handed the medicine to Xue Fangfei and said with a smile, "Drink it quickly. After drinking it, go to bed early and don't think too much."

Xue Fangfei took the medicine bowl and a strong smell of medicine hit her nose. She frowned, but drank it in one gulp without hesitation.

"It's so bitter!" Xue Fangfei couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Tong'er burst out laughing: "Good medicine tastes bitter! Just bear with it and it will pass."

She looked at Xue Fangfei and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, what's your name? Sister Jiang Li said you were injured and can't speak for the time being, so she doesn't know your name."

Xue Fangfei was stunned for a moment. She almost blurted out her own name, but then she realized that she could not use her previous identity now.

She shook her head and pointed to her throat, indicating that she couldn't speak.

"Is that so..." Tong'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Then...how about I give you a name? I'll call you...Ali! Look, you and Sister Jiang Li both have the word 'li' in their names, what a match!"

Xue Fangfei's heart was moved when she heard this. Ah Li... this name seemed quite good.

She nodded, accepting the new name.

"Ahri, Ahri..."

In a daze, Xue Fangfei heard someone calling her.

She tried hard to open her eyes, and saw Tong'er looking at her anxiously in the dim light.

"Tong'er...what's wrong?" Xue Fangfei struggled to sit up, but found that she was weak all over.

"Shh...keep your voice down!" Tong'er looked around nervously and said in a low voice, "How long have you been locked up here?"

Only then did Xue Fangfei realize that she was actually in a small woodshed.

The air was filled with a sickening smell of mold and decay.

"I... I don't know..." Xue Fangfei's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

She tried hard to recall, but she only remembered that she drank the medicine that Tong'er brought her, and then she knew nothing.

"You've been in a coma for two days!" Tong'er's eyes were filled with worry. "Sister Jiang Li was beaten with fifty sticks by the hall master for taking you in, and she's still unconscious!"

what? !

Xue Fangfei was struck by lightning and her whole body froze.

Fifty lashes of the cane... How could Jiang Li, with such a fragile body, bear it?

"Jiang Li... How is Jiang Li?" Xue Fangfei's voice was trembling, and she was almost crying.

"It's very bad..." Tong'er couldn't hold back her tears any longer and started to flow. "The hall master has issued an order that no one is allowed to call a doctor for Sister Jiang Li, and no one is allowed to bring her food... Sister Jiang Li is now... her life or death is uncertain..."

Xue Fangfei's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

She never expected that her arrival would bring such a disaster to Jiang Li.

"It's my fault... It's all my fault..." Xue Fangfei closed her eyes in pain, tears sliding down silently.

If it weren't for her, Jiang Li wouldn't have been injured so badly.

If it weren't for her, Jiang Li wouldn't have been punished by the people from the Chastity Hall.

She must hate herself to death now...

"Ali, don't blame yourself..." Tong'er wiped her tears and said with a sob, "Sister Jiang Li said she doesn't blame you... She just... just worried about you..."

worry about me?

A warm feeling surged in Xue Fangfei's heart.

Even in this situation, Jiang Li was still worried about her...

How can she repay this kindness?

"Tong'er, please... take me to see Jiang Li..." Xue Fangfei grabbed Tong'er's hand and begged.

She couldn't let Jiang Li die like this, she had to save her!

"No, Ali!" Tong'er said in embarrassment, "The hall master has issued an order that no one is allowed to approach Sister Jiang Li, otherwise... otherwise they will be beaten to death..."

"I'm not afraid!" Xue Fangfei said firmly, "As long as I can save Jiang Li, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Tong'er looked at Xue Fangfei's determined eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay... I'll take you there... But you have to be careful..."

Tong'er supported Xue Fangfei and quietly left the woodshed.

They avoided the patrols and groped their way to Jiang Li's room.

The room was dark.

Jiang Li was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper and her breath weak.

"Jiang Li..." Xue Fangfei rushed to the bedside and called softly.

Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled a few times and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah...Ali..." Jiang Li's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Jiang Li, how are you? Don't scare me..." Xue Fangfei couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst out.

"I... I'm fine..." Jiang Li tried hard to force a smile, but it hurt the wound and made her frown.

"You said you were fine... You're already so injured..." Xue Fangfei choked up and said, "It's all my fault... If it weren't for me..."

"Don't... don't cry..." Jiang Li stretched out her hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from Xue Fangfei's face, but she couldn't lift it up.

"Ali...you...you should leave quickly..." Jiang Li said intermittently, "Virgin Hall...is not the place for you to stay...you...you should leave..."

"I'm not leaving!" Xue Fangfei held Jiang Li's hand tightly, "I want to stay and take care of you!"

"Silly girl..." Jiang Li's eyes flashed with helplessness, "If you stay... you will only... you will only die..."

"I'm not afraid of death!" Xue Fangfei said firmly, "As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Cough cough cough..." Jiang Li coughed violently, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Jiang Li!" Xue Fangfei was frightened and quickly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Ali... listen to me... go quickly..." Jiang Li's voice became weaker and weaker, "Go find... find someone who can save you..."

"Who should I look for? Who can I look for?" Xue Fangfei looked around in confusion. She was alone and helpless now. Who could she look for?

Suddenly, a figure flashed through her mind.

Su Luo!

Yes, go find Su Luo!

She promised herself that she would come back to pick her up.

She will definitely save Jiang Li!

"Jiang Li, wait for me, I will definitely come back to save you!" Xue Fangfei said firmly in Jiang Li's ear.

She looked at Jiang Li deeply, then turned around resolutely and left the room.
