The results of the finger prick blood test came back quickly.

The report was filled with technical terms that Nan Xian couldn't understand. Being eager to learn and think things through, she asked the girl named Situ Xuan if there was anything wrong with her body.

Situ Xuan, however, did not seem to intend to reveal too much. She spoke in a mysterious and cryptic manner, leaving Nan Xian even more confused.

She was then taken to a room on the next floor.

This room was decorated completely differently from the other rooms—a path was carved out of the light-colored wooden floor, covered with small pebbles and cobblestones. To the left of the path was a huge display screen that simulated sunlight, and to the right was an indoor rockery and water feature, with several red and white koi swimming in the small pond.

Directly opposite the door was a screen embroidered with butterflies playing with peonies, which was extremely exquisite.

Faint music could be heard coming from behind the screen.

"Click," the door closed behind her. Nan Xian glanced back and stepped onto the cobblestone path.

The next moment, she smelled an indescribable scent.

It smells like flowers, medicine, and musk, with a hint of the bitterness of ink.

It has a refreshing taste with a slight spiciness and a numbing coolness, making it unique and mysterious.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath. The fragrance filled her chest like a spring breeze that dispelled the haze, and she instantly felt refreshed.

A voice, tinged with laughter, slowly rang out:

"Does this fragrance smell good?"

Nan Xian suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing that the question was directed at her, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"It smells nice, may I ask what fragrance it is?"

She quickened her pace and went around the screen.

Upon seeing the scene before her, she was slightly taken aback—

Behind the screen was a guqin (a seven-stringed zither), and behind the zither sat a person.

The first thing that catches the eye is his long hair.

Jet black as ink, smooth as satin, it gently fell from the shoulder and softly rested on the floor, gleaming beautifully in the sunlight.

And His face—

Even though Nan Xian had seen countless handsome men and beautiful women and had long since developed a certain immunity to beauty, her heart still couldn't help but pound wildly the moment she saw the person in front of her.

beautiful.

Her beauty, which captivates all beings, transcends the mundane world; to describe her with ordinary words would be blasphemy.

The reason for using the word "He" is precisely because Nan Xian could not determine His gender from his appearance.

Her appearance was androgynous, possessing both feminine gentleness and masculine heroism—two distinct qualities that were harmoniously blended on her face.

When she bows her head to play the zither, she is as calm as still water, like an immortal stepping out of a painting; when she raises her eyes to meet someone's gaze, she is captivating and enchanting, like a bewitching fox spirit.

He blinked gently, a warm smile playing in his eyes.

"It's sandalwood."

Nan Xian suddenly snapped out of her daze and saw Him staring at her. She blushed involuntarily, hurriedly looked away, and coughed awkwardly.

“Nanxian—right?” His fingertips lightly glide across the strings, producing a string of light and cheerful notes.

She nodded. "May I ask your name?"

He looked into her eyes and, for some reason, suddenly paused, his beautiful eyes momentarily lost in thought.

However, His face quickly returned to normal, and He curved the corners of His lips into a smile, his tone becoming lighter.

“You can call me—Yunwu.” As she spoke, she raised her right hand, revealing a small jade tablet in her palm.

These two characters are engraved on the jade plaque.

After Nan Xian came out of the room, she was still a little confused about what was going on.

Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, many questions popped into her mind.

Why would such a room be specially set up in this secret organization?

Who exactly is this Yunwu?

Why did He give him this jade pendant, and what is its use?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he turned a corner and happened to run into Situ Ting, who was talking to a few people.

She looked extremely happy, a far cry from her previous slightly tired and haggard appearance. At this moment, she was radiant and full of energy, as if she were glowing, standing out brightly in the crowd.

For some reason, Situ Ting gave Nan Xian the feeling that she had been reborn.

She was unconsciously stunned, wondering why Situ Ting had changed so much in just an hour or so. Then she saw Situ Ting turn her head and look in her direction.

Their eyes met, and Situ Ting's eyes suddenly lit up. She whispered something to the person opposite her, and then walked towards Nan Xian.

Nan Xian stood up, but before she could speak, Situ Ting took her hand.

Situ Ting's eyes were blazing, and her voice was filled with barely concealed excitement: "Miss Nan... I really, thank you so much!"

Nan Xian was stunned for a moment, thinking: What's going on? Why is Situ Ting looking at me with the exact same eyes as that girl before? Does she have lottery numbers written on her face?

But saving Lu Anna was just what I was supposed to do, so why is she reacting so strongly...?

Nan Xian suppressed her surprise and said, "In the end, I am partly responsible for Lu Anna's condition. It was only right that I saved her."

Situ Ting blinked, looking somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by that, Miss Nan?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his expression changed slightly. "You saw the demon that attacked Miss Lu?"

Nan Xian also stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"You...don't know about Yu Lin?"
