The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

"This is already outside Tata City, on the border of Dayong, about two hundred miles away!"

The next morning, Sikong Jin gave Yuan Yun a prescription, and Yuan Yun immediately set off to town to get the medicine. She didn't return until the afternoon. At Sikong Jin's insistence, Yuan Yun also brought her back a roast chicken, some beef, and a jar of fine daughter's red wine.

After several days, Sikong Jin's health improved considerably, and some color returned to her pale face. However, the cold poison imprinted on her back by Xifeng Lie could not be completely expelled, as Sikong Jin did not possess any potent yang energy and could only suppress it within her body for the time being. Normally, as long as she refrained from violence and was given enough time, she could gradually resolve it.

Yuan Yun has been taking very good care of Sikong Jin these past few days, almost to the point of being overly attentive. While Sikong Jin is grateful, she is also very puzzled. She even has a vague feeling that Yuan Yun's relationship with her seems to go beyond that of a benefactor and a recipient of kindness. This relationship makes her feel inexplicably close to him.

Moreover, she seemed quite mysterious. Sikong Jin noticed that Yuan Yun's internal energy seemed quite good, and her lightness skill was also extremely impressive, almost on par with her superb ninjutsu. Furthermore, she always carried a lot of poison powder and drugs with her, just like before.

However, the two got along quite well. Yuan Yun would often tell Sikong Jin about the Great Zhou Dynasty and the beauty of its capital. The unique beauty she described made Sikong Jin feel a sense of anticipation and longing—when could he go to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

She had previously agreed with Lin Fei and the others that Hilton's next stop would be the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, this plan had been brewing in her mind for a long time, but it could not be realized due to the situation in the Northwest. Sikong Jin felt helpless and thought about the situation she was about to face. She probably needed to speed up her actions.

After a misty rain, Sikong Jin stood outside the railing, wearing a cloak, while Yuan Yun prepared medicine for her.

Feeling bored, Sikong Jin tapped lightly on the railing with her fingers while gazing at the rain outside. Suddenly, she asked, "Has anything interesting happened outside these days?"

Yuan Yun, who was brewing medicine, turned around when she heard Sikong Jin's words. She glanced at her and smiled calmly, "What's wrong? Do you feel uneasy because you've been living in the mountains for so long and have lost contact with the outside world?"

Yuan Yun put down her palm-leaf fan, stood up and walked over gracefully. "I've noticed you've been restless these past few days. I suppose you're hiding something on your mind."

Sikong Jin raised her hand and took a sip of wine before frowning slightly. "Having lost contact with my brothers for several days, I naturally want to know how they are doing, especially now that the border is so chaotic. It's hard to guarantee that they won't encounter any misfortune."

Yuan Yun glanced at Sikong Jin mysteriously, her gaze full of meaning. After a moment's hesitation, she said softly, "I don't know how your brothers are doing, but I heard that Xi Fenglie has already sent troops to advance into the border of Talan City in Chongzhou. The rioters gathered in Talan City are about to launch another uprising. Chongzhou City is probably in a state of panic right now. I heard that Sikong Jin, the Deputy Grand Commander of Dayong, led his troops to clean up this area. I originally thought he would take down the rioters in Talan City in one fell swoop to relieve Chongzhou's crisis. Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard that Xi Fenglie was leading a large army to attack him, he has now disappeared without a trace..."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin was slightly taken aback and sighed inwardly. "If I were to resolve this matter, I would probably be summoned back to the capital. I finally managed to escape, how could I possibly go back like this?"

Thinking of this, a faint bitter smile flashed across Sikong Jinxiu's face. She said nothing, lowered her head, and continued drinking her wine. Yuan Yun, standing beside her, sighed, "We Jianghu people don't know how important these power struggles for the throne are to those rulers. But seeing the pain and disaster these wars bring to the people, all this cruelty and tragedy touches me deeply..."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Yuan Yun. She noticed that Yuan Yun's clear, bright eyes, hidden beneath her veil, had dimmed slightly, filled with an indescribable reluctance and sigh.

Sikong Jin's heart suddenly sank inexplicably. She leaned gently against the cold railing, looked up at the vast, misty sky outside, and chuckled softly, "Most human wars stem from desires in people's hearts. Desires, such as the desire for power, the thirst for money, the struggle for affection... Peaceful times are certainly good, but everyone knows that eternal peace is impossible. You can only blame yourself for being born at the wrong time, just in this chaotic era."

At this point, Sikong Jin suddenly paused, turned her head to look at Yuan Yun, and sighed, "Besides, the struggles in the martial world are no less intense than war, especially since you are also in Luoyang City, you should understand this even more deeply, shouldn't you?"

"From what you're saying, it sounds like you think you were born at the right time?"

Yuan Yun smiled.

Sikong Jin shrugged innocently and said seriously, "How could that be! I'm so afraid of death, of course I hope for a peaceful and prosperous world. Look, if you hadn't saved me before, I would definitely be dead by now. I haven't married and had children yet, oh no, I haven't found my Mr. Right yet, how can I be willing to just die like this?"

"My ideal husband?"

Yuan Yun murmured these words, looking at Sikong Jin with interest, and smiled, "Miss Nanchen probably already has someone in mind..."

Upon hearing this, several black lines immediately appeared on Sikong Jin's forehead. He coughed a few times, looked up at the sky outside, and suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, look at that bird, it's huge!"

"I heard the sun will come out in a couple of days, right?"

"Sister Yun, that little bib with the yellow bird embroidered on it in your wardrobe is so pretty. It reminds me of that song, 'Little Birds of Youth.' How does it go? Let me think..."

Yuan Yun had gotten used to Sikong Jin's ability to change the subject these past few days. Watching Sikong Jin disappear into the room, she could only shake her head helplessly and turn back to continue brewing the medicine.

It got dark quickly, and the evening in the mountains was very cold, especially on such a rainy day.

After taking the medicine, Sikong Jin slept until evening. When she woke up, Yuan Yun was no longer in the thatched hut, but there was still a hot meal prepared in the pot next to her.

"Where have people gone?"

Sikong Jin closed the pot lid and searched the room again before finding a note on the table. It said that she was going out for a while and might not be back for a few days, and that Sikong Jin should take good care of herself.
