What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Chapter 61 It turns out that paradise is pink.

After Gu Yan was arrested, Shen Mujin and the others returned to the ivy-covered courtyard in Kunlun City.

These past few days, Li Hengzhi has lost too much blood and needs to rest in bed, so Su Huaiqi has been forced to take care of him. At first, Su Huaiqi was also against it, but after being persuaded by Shen Mujin, Su Huaiqi agreed.

Shen Mujin: Actually, I just found a way out, and Qiqi... those who know, know.

Although Yu Zechuan was injured, Jiang Si joined the team. Shen Mujin carefully recounted the entire process and details of Gu Yan's capture to him.

"Of these two groups, the identity of the man in black is unclear, but the group of burly men is most likely from the Canghai Gang." Suddenly, a weak voice came from the doorway. Su Huaiqi helped the pale-faced Yu Zechuan slowly walk in.

"Young Master, didn't the doctor tell you to rest in bed?" Shen Mujin quickly got up to help Su Huaiqi up, her tone unusually serious.

Su Huaiqi, standing to the side, knowingly curled her lip.

Oh no! Mumu hates patients who don't follow medical advice the most. Yu Zechuan is practically walking into the line of fire.

Yu Zechuan hadn't expected that the usually gentle and kind Miss Shen would have such a sharp and stern side. He could only sit aside and say with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen. After resting for a few days, I'm fine now."

Shen Mujin knew that Yu Zechuan had come for Gu Yan, so her expression softened slightly. She could only turn to Su Huaiqi, who was watching the commotion from the side, and say, "What are you laughing at? I told you to take good care of the patient, and how did you do it!"

Su Huaiqi hadn't expected Shen Mujin's anger to affect her, and she knew something was wrong. She quickly ran to Yu Zechuan's side to hide.

"Mumu, calm down, calm down. Let's talk about Ayan's matter first."

Shen Mujin knew that she had been anxious and upset about Gu Yan's matter these past few days, and had taken her anger out on others. She could only nod and sit aside to calm down.

“When we were in Wuzhou, Ayan told me that she had encountered the Canghai Gang on the street, which shows that the Canghai Gang really valued the Seven Star Stone.”

Jiang Si thought that he and Gu Yan had indeed rescued a brother and sister who were being bullied by the Canghai Gang on the street. But was the Canghai Gang only here for the Seven Star Stone?

“Oh right, I remember that at the Kunlun Ruins Heroes' Banquet, the third leader of the Canghai Gang questioned the fourth elder of Kunlun Ruins, almost embarrassing him.” Su Huaiqi suddenly remembered the scene at the Heroes' Banquet and quickly raised his hand to say.

Shen Mujin: "So, according to that logic, the Canghai Gang obtained a clue about the Seven Star Stone at the Heroes' Banquet, thought it was on Ayan, so they cooperated with the men in black to take Ayan away?"

“Wait a minute,” Yu Zechuan pondered for a moment, recalling the swift and decisive way the men in black had killed the Canghai Gang. “I don’t think these two are in a cooperative relationship. What kind of cooperative relationship would involve such a casual and swift killing of the partner? It feels like the Canghai Gang is more like a pawn of the men in black, a dispensable pawn.”

Su Huaiqi also began to recall the details, "Yes, and the man in black said that the sect leader was looking for Ayan. The leader of the Canghai Gang should be called the gang leader, not the sect leader, right?"

Just as the group was discussing, a small gray bird flew in through the window and miraculously landed on Jiang Si's left shoulder.

"Wow, this little bird isn't afraid of people at all, it even dares to perch on a person's shoulder." Su Huaiqi was very surprised.

Jiang Si took the bird off his shoulder and skillfully removed a small piece of paper from its leg.

After quickly reading it, he handed the note to the people present.

"Wow, this little bird is actually a carrier pigeon! I thought all pigeons were white." Su Huaiqi curiously stretched out her finger, wanting to poke the "gray pigeon" in front of her. Unexpectedly, the originally docile little bird suddenly flapped its wings, quickly poked its head out and pecked, almost drawing blood from Su Huaiqi's finger.

"Oh dear, why is she so temperamental?" Su Huaiqi covered her fingers, feeling a little scared.

"If you were called by the wrong name, wouldn't you be angry?" Shen Mujin glanced at Su Huaiqi with some disdain. "This is a thrush, not a pigeon. Have some common sense, okay?"

"Ah, I only know about pigeons delivering messages, I've never heard of thrushes delivering messages!" Su Huaiqi said, feeling a little aggrieved, and promptly went to Yu Zechuan's side to look at the little note.

Shen Mujin gently tapped the little thrush's head and asked with some surprise, "Young Master Jiang, this little thrush looks familiar. Is it the one that Ayan picked up back then?"

Jiang Si nodded directly and confirmed, "Yes. Ayan gave it to me back then. It just so happened that one of my junior brothers was good at controlling birds, so he helped me train the little thrush to be able to deliver messages."

"No wonder we didn't see Ayan bring the little thrush when we left. I thought she left the bird with Uncle Chen." Shen Mujin said with a sudden realization.

But Ah Yan?

When did Jiang Si start calling A Yan so affectionately? Wasn't it always "Miss Bai" before?

After reading the contents of the note, Su Huaiqi was immediately furious. He hadn't expected that the Fourth Elder of Kunlun Ruins and the others would actually join forces with the Canghai Gang.

With the backing of a powerful figure, the Canghai Gang, using the name of Kunlun Ruins, committed atrocities in Kunlun City, bullying men and women, and even extending their vicious hands to the female disciples of Kunlun Ruins. The note was sent by Bai Heming, who was trapped in the inner sect of Kunlun Ruins, hoping that Jiang Si could tell Gu Yan and the others to be careful.

"Kunlun Ruins and the Canghai Gang have joined forces, and the Canghai Gang is with the Men in Black. Does that mean Kunlun Ruins and the Men in Black are also connected?" Su Huaiqi suddenly connected these situations and stated her discovery.

Jiang Si frowned deeply. Based on the information they had, Gu Yan's situation was becoming increasingly dire.

Jiang Si: "I plan to go to Kunlun Ruins tonight." Instead of guessing here, I'd rather go and investigate myself.

Yu Zechuan did not object, but only instructed, "Be careful, come back immediately if things don't look right, so as not to alert the enemy."

The two girls remained silent. They were not skilled in combat and had little experience with such schemes and plots, so they could only wait for Jiang Si to return before making a decision.

However, Shen Mujin glanced at Jiang Si with some hesitation, and after some internal speculation, she decided to speak out.

“Young Master Jiang, I think these men in black... seem very similar to the men in black on Qixia Mountain.”

Of the four people present, only Jiang Si and Shen Mujin had experienced what happened on Qixia Mountain. Su Huaiqi knew about it from Gu Yan's account, while Yu Zechuan knew nothing about it, only some rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

Jiang Si nodded to indicate that he understood, "Okay, I will be careful."

When night fell, Jiang Si changed into his night clothes and stepped out of his room, only to find three other people standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Jiang Si was not surprised and calmly walked up to the group.

Looking at Yu Zechuan standing against the wall, he kindly reminded him, "If you're feeling weak, go to bed early."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if you don't come back," Yu Zechuan said with a smile, patting Jiang Si's shoulder.

Su Huaiqi looked up at the gray sky. There wasn't a breath of wind tonight, and it felt chilly and gloomy.

"Young Master Jiang, go and come back soon, it might snow tonight."

Upon hearing Su Huaiqi's weather reminder, Jiang Si seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into a slight smile.

For the first time ever, Su Huaiqi saw Jiang Si smile slightly. She thought she was seeing things, as she had always thought Jiang Si was expressionless.

After saying their goodbyes, Jiang Si leaped onto the courtyard wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although Jiang Si was a disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, due to the relationship between the two sects, going to Kunlun Ruins was no different from returning home.

In addition, back then, Li Hengzhi would often drag Jiang Si to hide in Kunlun Ruins to avoid Qin Miao'er, which also made Jiang Si realize that there was a mountain path to Kunlun Ruins.

Following the path, under the cover of night, Jiang Si successfully slipped into Kunlun Ruins. He knew that there were many spies of the Fourth Elder outside the inner gate of Kunlun Ruins, so he did not go to find Bai Heming, but instead began searching the outer gate.

The outer gate was very large. Apart from a few Kunlun Ruins disciples, the entire outer gate was patrolled by people from the Canghai Gang.

Jiang Si slipped into a courtyard outside the gate, only to find that the guards in the inner courtyard had been replaced by men in black. Remembering Yu Zechuan's description of the men in black's martial arts skills, he immediately became extremely vigilant, carefully avoiding them, and casually slipped into a courtyard with lights on.

The room was lit, but there was no sound of voices, and no one could be seen inside. Jiang Si was very cautious. He hid in the gap between the room and the wall, slowed his breathing, and quietly concealed himself. After a while, he saw a man in black walk in from outside the courtyard gate.

If Yu Zechuan or Shen Su were here, they would immediately recognize this person as the leader of the men in black who took Gu Yan away outside Kunlun City.

The team leader walked to the door, bowed his head, and reported, "Captain, the one in the cell seems to be dying."

After a few seconds of silence, the room window was opened, and a small white porcelain bottle, about the size of a palm, was casually tossed out.

"The bottle contains a Rejuvenation Pill. It should be given once a day. That person must hold on until the Sect Master returns."

Upon seeing this, the man in black outside the door immediately darted in and neatly retrieved the small bottle.

"Yes, I am resigning."

"Wait, how are things going with Li Hengzhi, who's been locked up with us?"

The man in black was taken aback by the question. Why was the captain suddenly concerned about the others? But he still answered honestly:

"It's still the same as always."

"Okay, keep an eye on the two of them. Now you can go down."

Jiang Si overheard their conversation clearly, and his heart tightened, because the person they were talking about who couldn't hold on any longer was very likely Gu Yan, who had been captured.

Jiang Si was filled with worry for Gu Yan and quickly followed the man in black out of the courtyard, but he did not notice a figure standing at the open window, looking at the place where he had just hidden.

The man in black paid no attention to Jiang Si behind him and strode towards an ordinary courtyard behind the main hall. No one expected that the Fourth Elder would set up the dungeon here.

From a distance, the courtyard looked empty, with only a dimly lit lantern hanging on the gate.

The man in black did not enter through the main gate, but turned and walked to the other side of the wall. There was a tall pine tree outside the wall. Under the cover of the tree, the man in black pressed something, and the wall disappeared, revealing a dark entrance. The man in black walked straight in.

Jiang Si dared not get too close for fear of exposing himself, so he could only wait until the wall closed and quickly slip inside.

Upon entering the walled area, Jiang Si discovered that he had not reached the courtyard, but instead entered a dimly lit passage. The passage appeared to be newly dug, with traces of excavation on the walls.

Fortunately, there was only one passage. Jiang Si walked forward lightly, and after a few steps, a relatively spacious open space appeared in front of him. Just then, he saw the figure of the man in black turning to the left.

Jiang Si followed without hesitation and saw the man in black stop in front of an iron gate. The entire iron gate was pitch black and gleamed coldly, with no chains in sight. The man in black took out a token from his waist and stuck it into a groove next to the iron gate. After a while, a rattling sound was heard, and the iron gate slowly rose up.

The space inside the iron gate was larger and the facilities were more complete than outside. The man in black touched the Rejuvenation Pill in his pocket and headed straight for the innermost room on the right.

He had to hurry; if the person in the room died, it would be a great favor from the sect leader to have the girl buried with him.

Jiang Si followed at a distance, watching the man in black's every move. When he saw the man in black open one of the doors, Jiang Si could no longer hold back. He knocked the man in black unconscious and quickly walked to the door.

He was somewhat unsure.

Gu Yan lay on the ground, covered in wounds, like a powerless puppet. Jiang Si's eyes revealed a cold killing intent; the rage burning in his heart almost turned all the traitors in Kunlun Ruins to ashes.

He carefully picked up Gu Yan, who had been a cheerful and playful girl, but now looked lifeless. He quickly retraced his steps, eager to return to the courtyard to treat Gu Yan's injuries.

--------------

The night Gu Yan was rescued, no one in the courtyard slept.

Shen Mujin and Su Huaiqi could hardly believe that the "bloody person" in Jiang Si's arms was actually Gu Yan.

Seeing basins of blood being carried out of Gu Yan's room, Shen Mujin could no longer hold back and threw herself into Su Huaiqi's arms, weeping bitterly.

"Qiqi, Ayan... I'm scared, I'm scared."

Su Huaiqi silently shed tears, tightly hugging Shen Mujin in her arms, as if drawing strength from her to persevere.

Although the old doctor Jiang Si had brought was old, his medical skills were superb. He worked all night and finally pulled Gu Yan back from the brink of death.

Seeing the three people in the courtyard who were emotionally unstable, Yu Zechuan disregarded his own status as a patient and took the initiative to send the old doctor home, and even gave him a considerable amount of medical fees.

Gu Yan was in a coma for three days and three nights, and Su Huaiqi and Shen Mujin took care of her tirelessly for three days and three nights without taking off their clothes or sleeping.

On the fourth day, Gu Yan finally opened her eyes. She looked up at the pink and white gauze curtains above the bed, somewhat surprised.

So heaven isn't just pure white, it can also be pink.

Wait, how come Mumu and Qiqi are still in heaven?
