Lu Zhaozhao looked at the person in front of her with some surprise, then thought about it and felt that it was not surprising, and her eyes unconsciously became filled with joy.

"So it's Senior Sister Yaotong. I'm so sorry for my rudeness. Please don't take offense."

Yao Tong lowered her head and smiled faintly. She took Ni Ye from Lu Zhaozhao's hand and carefully placed it beside her. Then she reached out and covered her forehead with her hand.

“Junior sister’s injuries are too severe, and she has developed a high fever. I don’t have enough supplies with me, so I would like to ask her to come back to the camp with me for treatment.”

Yao Tong is beautiful and kind-hearted, and speaks gently, which always attracts the attention of others.

Lu Zhaozhao nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."

"It's alright." Yao Tong said softly, then helped her up, adjusted her position so that most of her weight was on her, and led Lu Zhaozhao forward.

After walking for a while, Lu Zhaozhao had doubts, but because of the current situation, she couldn't find a way to speak.

Yao Tong, keeping her eyes and mouth focused, immediately sensed her unease and asked, "Junior Sister, are you wondering why I would go to the trouble of bringing you back to Tianyin when Emperor Huizong was also resting here?"

“I am deeply grateful for your help, Senior Sister, but this matter…” Lu Zhaozhao paused for a moment and then confessed, “The outside world is unaware that I have come down the mountain this time, so I hope you will forgive me, Senior Sister.”

"I know," Yao Tong said slowly, her voice gentle and melodious, like the tinkling of jade pendants.

"Such a big incident happened at Wen Yuan's camp last night. When everyone rushed to investigate, they discovered that Sect Leader Yun had also come to East Lake. Later, we heard that some villains had broken in, and I found traces of them in the shadows."

Upon hearing that traces had been left at the scene, Lu Zhaozhao immediately tensed up.

Yao Tong patted her waist reassuringly and continued, "I was born with a sensitivity to the smell of blood, and I can roughly identify the location even if it is very faint. I have never seen anyone else with this ability, so it must be quite rare. Junior sister, please don't worry."

Hearing her say that, Lu Zhaozhao's tense muscles finally relaxed.

Seeing this, Yaotong continued, "After finding the traces, I followed the path and vaguely saw a person lying in the reeds. When I went closer, I found it was Junior Sister Lu. At that time, I was puzzled. Headmaster Yun is your master. How did you become the villain tonight?"

"Just when I was completely baffled, I saw my junior sister's wounds." Yao Tong smiled sheepishly. "When I see someone injured, I instinctively start treating her, and the more I look, the more horrified I become. I thought to myself, even with such serious injuries, you don't want to be recognized by Sect Leader Yun, so there must be something you can't say. I won't ask if you won't tell me. I'll heal you when we get back to the camp, and then I won't interfere with where you want to go. That's what I was thinking, but I didn't expect to hurt you so badly and wake you up."

Yao Tong blushed, and Lu Zhaozhao immediately denied it: "It was my own over-vigilance that had nothing to do with Senior Sister. On the contrary, I almost hurt Senior Sister. I'm really sorry."

Thinking back to how she had put Ni Ye on Yao Tong's neck with the intention of actually hurting her, while the person being threatened by the sword was still showing her kindness, she felt incredibly guilty in comparison.

Yao Tong was pondering the next treatment plan, while Lu Zhaozhao was contemplating the future. Each lost in their own thoughts, they remained silent for the rest of the journey.

Upon arriving at Tianyin's territory, Lu Zhaozhao realized that Tianyin Sect, Wenyuan Academy, and Emperor Huizong's camp were actually connected.

Indeed, the three major sects are of similar status and have always been on good terms, so naturally they are in similar positions.

But this is not good news for Lu Zhaozhao.

Putting aside the commotion she caused in Wenyuan tonight, Lu Zhaozhao has lived in Qinghui for more than ten years, and everyone in the sect is very familiar with her, not to mention that she has a master named Yunxian.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaozhao felt extremely troubled.

The road ahead is uncertain, and the situation is difficult!

Lu Zhaozhao sighed inwardly, while Yao Tong didn't stop what she was doing.

With a series of smooth and skillful actions, the residual true energy in Yunxian's body that was hindering her self-healing was completely cleared away, and her hasty and haphazard bandages were replaced with neat white discharge covered with medicine.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Zhaozhao did not feel any pain at all; in fact, she felt much more relaxed.

After bandaging her up, Yaotong brought over a bowl of herbal medicine, carefully letting it cool to a warm temperature before feeding it to her.

"This is medicine to lower your fever. Drink it quickly and get some rest. Your fever will be gone by tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhaozhao thanked her, took the medicine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and exclaimed, "Senior Sister truly deserves to be called a medical master. I feel much better in just a short while."

Yao Tong smiled and tidied up the scattered things, saying, "Junior Sister is too kind. I only know a little bit. Junior Sister, please rest well here. You don't need to worry about Wen Yuan and Qing Hui. There are Tianyin's clothes by the bedside. If you don't mind, you can pretend to be a disciple of Tianyin for the time being."

"Really!" Upon hearing this unexpected joy, Lu Zhaozhao's eyes widened immediately. She bowed deeply to Yaotong, who tried to help her up, but she insisted on staying put.

"Senior Sister Yaotong has done me a great favor, which I have no way to repay. Please accept this gift to ease my guilt."

Yao Tong had no choice but to accept it. She carefully gave him instructions and then left with her medical tools.

Lu Zhaozhao smiled as she saw her off, but her face fell instantly when she turned back into her tent.

Everyone says that doctors have a benevolent heart, but she had never experienced that before.

Lu Zhaozhao always assumed the worst, but now that she had met Yao Tong, she didn't ask for anything in return or gratitude; all she saw was the injured.

The cultivation world has always held Yao Tong in high regard. Ying Che once said that when someone is revered as a saint, it means that every action they take must conform to the rules; otherwise, today's praise will turn into exponentially more abuse tomorrow.

Lu Zhaozhao had always agreed with this statement, but after meeting Yaotong today, she realized how wrong she was.

Yao Tong is indeed admired, but that's merely the opinion of outsiders. She has always been true to herself and followed her heart. For someone like her, praise or criticism from the outside world makes no difference.

A clever mind, a captivating beauty, and a penchant for good deeds. These exquisitely beautiful words combined to form Yao Tong, so much so that under such radiance, Lu Zhaozhao inexplicably began to doubt herself.

Were all her previous actions truly in accordance with human ethics and morality?

"After spending some time with kind people, I even started to hope that I could be like them."

Lu Zhaozhao chuckled self-deprecatingly and spread out the clothes Yao Tong had left behind.

In addition to a set of Tianyin disciple's attire, there was also a veil.

Fearing being recognized, Yaotong left this item behind.

From the moment we met until now, every action of hers has been like a gentle breeze, and every thought she has shown is considerate.

With her hand on her clothes, Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but tear up.
