All three of them were wearing black robes. One of them stood guard in front of them, while the other two in black robes went to kill all the helmeted men.

"Sir, may I know..." Wang Chao asked cautiously.

The black-robed man who was guarding the three of them suddenly turned around, and then the three of them were faced with a hideous and terrifying face.

It was a disfigured face, covered in wounds so dense that it made one's scalp tingle.

But that person had a pair of exceptionally bright eyes. "Long time no see, I'm Lan Yuanqing."

"Lan, Lan Yuanqing..."

Lao Ding and the other three were stunned.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, "Yuanqing, are you Yuanqing's attendant?"

"You're still alive..."

"Your face..."

"My face is disfigured." Lan Yuanqing said calmly.

"Of course we know your face is disfigured. We want to know how you've been doing over the years..."

Just then, two other men in black robes came over, and they saw that they were wearing masks on their faces.

There were faint flame patterns on the mask, and Lao Ding and others recognized their identities almost instantly.

"You, you are the personal guards of that Excellency!"

Lao Ding and the others seemed to realize something, their voices almost breaking with excitement. "Is it... is it that the Excellency has come out of seclusion?"

"Yes." said one of the masked men.

She is actually a woman.

Yes, that’s right, the two personal guards of that Excellency are a man and a woman.

They didn't know why they were with Lan Yuanqing.

Tears silently streamed down the faces of Lao Ding and the other two. "We've finally...made it..."

Lan Yuanqing said, "Get in the car, we'll talk about it later when we get back."

They nodded, got into the car and left together.

After they left, another helmeted figure emerged from the distance. He stared at the direction the vehicle had left for a moment, then lowered his head and spoke into the communication device on his wrist, "Master's prediction was correct. Ruan Linsi has a master lurking under his command."

…

Ruan Qiao spent a day and a night to refine the detoxification pill.

No more, no less, just two.

She packed the detoxification pill, picked up the white jade soup she had been preparing, and walked outside.

Seeing her come out, everyone in Tianlou surrounded her.

The most excited ones were Elder Die and Elder Silver Snake.

Ruan Qiao glanced at them and saw their eyes full of anxiety and anticipation. She said straightforwardly, "Two elders, have someone prepare a wooden barrel and a bucket of hot water and put them in Shao Yiyi's room."

When the two elders heard the order, they knew it was done, and they turned around excitedly to give orders.

Shao Yiyi was helped up. She looked at the wooden barrel filled with hot water, then looked at Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao poured the bubbling medicinal soup in the pot into the hot water bucket.

Suddenly, bigger bubbles appeared in the wooden barrel, which originally had water of appropriate temperature. The gurgling sound was so loud that it made people's scalps numb.

Shao Yiyi curled her lips and chuckled: "Cousin Qiaoqiao, although I have offended you before, I don't think you will cook me to death, right?"

Ruan Qiao glanced at her. The girl spoke lightly, but there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

Ruan Qiao raised her eyebrows, and a vicious curve suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Why, are you scared?"

Shao Yiyi was not willing to admit defeat. She smiled and said, "How could that be? I know cousin Qiaoqiao won't hurt me."

She said this, but when she was about to be put into the bucket, she still closed her eyes in fear.

The evil smile on Ruan Qiao's lips became even more intense.

Shao Jiajia standing by was dumbfounded. No way... No way... Did cousin Qiaoqiao really want to cook Shao Yiyi?

However, when she looked at Shao Yiyi's expression, she saw that he did not show any pain. On the contrary, she opened her eyes in surprise.

She looked in Ruan Qiao's direction, her eyes filled with an unprecedented heat.

"Cousin Qiaoqiao, it feels so good. I knew you wouldn't hurt Yiyi."

Shao Yiyi looked at Ruan Qiao with a touched expression, and that sticky expression made Shao Jiajia frown immediately.

Ruan Qiao was also irritated by her overly enthusiastic expression, and she said coldly: "Soak it well, until the medicine inside is clear."

After saying this coldly, she turned and left.

"Cousin Qiaoqiao..." Shao Yiyi shouted loudly, reluctantly.

"Stop shouting. Can you be normal?" Shao Jiajia glared at her with disgust, turned around and left with Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao went outside and handed the Condensation Pill and the Poison-Cleansing Pill to Elder Die and Elder Yinshe. She said, "After she finishes the medicinal soup, you two elders will give her these two pills. After taking the pills and getting some sleep, she will be fine."

Elder Die and Elder Yinshe nodded repeatedly. They said, "Young Master, you are tired too, right? You have worked really hard this time."

He changed the way he addressed Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao didn't care and let them call her that.

Ruan Qiao said, "I'm going to take a nap too. I'll trouble the two elders to keep an eye on this place.

As soon as Ruan Qiao fell asleep, she was pulled directly into the study space by the first generation.

"Today we will begin to practice the third set of physical techniques. This set of physical techniques will help you recover your physical strength."

The Cosmic Breathing Method itself would prevent Ruan Qiao from feeling tired, and after practicing this new set of physical skills, Ruan Qiao discovered that it actually complemented the Cosmic Breathing Method.

Yidai said: "This set of physical skills can make your body transform into stars and merge with the entire universe."

Ruan Qiao could indeed feel that she seemed to be integrated with the universe. This was a learning space, but she felt as if she was a star, and the space she was in was the universe.
