Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

Gu Xinyue understood. She squatted down in front of the bed to look at the bed board. The top was flat, but the middle part of the bottom protruded more than the edge of the bed. She quickly pulled Chu Yize to take a look.

They studied it for a long time but found no flaws. The bed board was made of five long wooden planks pieced together, and there were no gaps anywhere else. Gu Xinyue was a little tired and planned to sit at the foot of the bed and rest for a while.

As soon as they sat down at the foot of the bed, the other end of the middle bed board tilted upwards, like a seesaw. They were shocked and quickly lifted the middle board from the foot of the bed. There really was something hidden in the middle.

There is a short knife and a sword. The blue dragon pattern on the scabbard is lifelike. The short knife is small and delicate, and the peony flower on the hilt is vivid.

Gu Xinyue saw Chu Yize's face full of excitement. This was the first time she had seen the usually composed man show such emotion. She remembered the slightly downcast expression he had when he said he was resting, and realized it was because he was disappointed at not finding the sword and knife.

"How did you know there were swords and knives?" Gu Xinyue asked curiously.

"This is the Azure Dragon Sword and Lingyue Blade, which have disappeared from the martial arts world for twenty years." Chu Yize said, taking out the short sword and handing it to Gu Xinyue. "You can use this sword for self-defense, but don't let anyone see it, or it will bring you death."

"Okay." Gu Xinyue unsheathed the sword; the blade was as shiny as a mirror and the edge was sharp.

Chu Yize gripped the hilt of his sword, drew it from its sheath, and looked at the blade with a slight smile on his lips. Gu Xinyue didn't miss his satisfied expression.

"Let me see if there's anything else?" After saying that, Chu Yize reached in and felt around, taking out a small black wooden box. He handed it to Gu Xinyue and continued to feel around. This time, he took out a book, which Gu Xinyue saw was titled "Mu Family Secret Manual".

"Xinyue, I've searched inside and there's nothing there. You rest for a while, I need to learn kung fu."

Gu Xinyue quickly laid out the felt blanket and sheets, and then covered herself with the quilt.

Gu Xinyue opened the box and found a miniature pulse pillow inside. It was a handicraft, or perhaps something for a small child. She smiled and put it away.

Gu Xinyue was very sleepy and went to bed. Chu Yize tucked her in and started looking at the secret manual.

Knowing that this was where Nianxi lived in seclusion, Chu Yize wanted to find the Azure Dragon Sword and the Lingyue Blade, which were a pair of love swords and a predestined romance. He accompanied Gu Xinyue to read for a while and then went to look for them, searching three times inside and outside the room without finding them.

He searched every place where things were kept, and even followed the stream to find the exit. He carefully looked through both the inner and outer rooms of the stone chamber, leaving no stone unturned, not even the medicine cabinet, and not even the area under the square table in the inner room.

He felt lost. If he hadn't known about this, he would have been content with whatever came his way. But now, the girl he had been longing for was by his side, his health had recovered, and all the toxins in his body had been cleared. He felt very lucky and happy, but he was afraid that he couldn't protect this happiness.

His repeated poisonings indicate that he is not strong enough to intimidate his enemies. Therefore, he is eager to find the Azure Dragon Sword and the Mu Family Manual. Only when he becomes stronger can he protect those around him.

Chu Yize sat on a chair next to the square table, watching and gesturing as he went. After he finished watching, he glanced at Gu Xinyue and went outside to practice.

After practicing twice, he felt relaxed and more energetic. He broke down all the movements in the manual, put them back together piece by piece, and made the movements flow smoothly. After breaking it down once, he practiced it so well that he could do it with ease and mastery.

After finishing his practice, Chu Yize washed himself in the stream and returned to the inner room of the stone chamber. He saw Gu Xinyue curled up, her hands covering her shoulders, and she was cold.

Chu Yize gently lifted the blanket and touched the bed. Although Gu Xinyue was asleep, the bed was cold. After he lay down next to her, Gu Xinyue felt a source of warmth and kept leaning against Chu Yize.

Seeing Gu Xinyue seeking warmth from his body, Chu Yize pulled her into his arms. As she gradually calmed down and her breathing became even, Chu Yize felt sleepy.

In the warm, cozy bed, Gu Xinyue felt the chill she felt while sleeping had completely disappeared. Overall, she slept quite well; the bed was much better than sleeping on the floor.

Wait, why am I resting my head on Chu Yize's arm?

She quickly sat up and saw that her clothes were intact. She had been overthinking things. It turned out that Chu Yize was hot, and she had been trying to get close to him. How embarrassing!

Startled awake, Chu Yize saw Gu Xinyue quickly sit up. He was wide awake and slept soundly, enjoying the girl's unique fragrance.

Seeing Xin Yue's reaction, he smiled. He would wait until their wedding day; he would never let his beloved girl be tainted with any stain before marriage.

To ease the tension and reassure Gu Xinyue, Chu Yize said, "Xinyue, you felt cold last night, are you feeling better now?"

"Let's get up, I'm all better now."

"Okay, let's go back."

Gu Xinyue opened her bundle and tidied up her things; this time, her bundle was more bulging than before.

Chu Yize held a sword in his hand and carried another on his back. When he saw Gu Xinyue's bundle, he reached out to take it for himself, but Gu Xinyue wouldn't let him.

It wasn't that she didn't want Chu Yize to take it, but she was afraid of encountering danger outside. She wanted to lighten Chu Yize's burden. She didn't know that this little bit of stuff wouldn't cause Chu Yize any trouble, and Chu Yize was happy to have her cause trouble.

She feels more at ease keeping her precious things to herself.

They walked along the stream, and after a quarter of an hour the stream widened, the sound of the flowing water became more rapid, the cave ceiling became lower and lower, there was light ahead, the river led out, but there was no way out.

Just as Gu Xinyue was worrying about how to get out, she saw Chu Yize point to a hole that one person had just passed through and say, "I'll go first, you follow me and don't let go of my hand."

"it is good."

They had only taken a few steps, supporting themselves against the wall, when they saw light. Once outside, Gu Xinyue breathed in the fresh air, feeling happy. She was going home.

The beauty of nature is truly remarkable. They are still in the middle of the cliff, where the river forms a natural waterfall. There is a gap between the waterfall and the cliff face. If you look closely, you can see that the cliff face is covered with moss, which is wet from the water. There are uneven steps about a foot wide on the cliff face.

But at this moment, it would be very slippery for people to walk. Someone like her, who has no martial arts skills, would slip and fall to her death.

Gu Xinyue didn't hear a word Chu Yize was saying to her because the sound of the water was too loud.

With one hand holding a sword and the other holding Gu Xinyue around the waist, Chu Yize lifted her up and flew down. Gu Xinyue, afraid of falling, clung tightly to Chu Yize's waist.

Before he could even admire the view from high above, Chu Yize used his sword to brace himself against the rock face twice and landed on the ground.

Gu Xinyue quickly let go of her hand. It was the first time she had been carried away by the legendary lightness skill. She didn't get to enjoy the thrill and landed in a daze.

The waterfall, like a natural white curtain, hangs from the middle of the cliff to the ground. Water droplets fall on your face and body, making you feel like it's raining. The powerful waterfall forms a river after it hits the ground, and the surrounding trees and shrubs are lush and vibrant.

Chu Yize pulled her along the cliff, and after a quarter of an hour, although they could still hear the sound of flowing water, it had become much quieter.

Chu Yize fired a signal flare into the air. They waited for the guards to come and fetch them. It was unknown how long it would take to get out of the vast forest.
