Chu Yi's sleep also improved. He slept until the afternoon before waking up. When he put on his clothes and tied his belt, he found that the mutton fat jade pendant he always wore was gone.

After he left the room, he did not see Nanzhi, but only Doctor Zhou drying herbs in the courtyard.

"Greetings, Divine Doctor." He showed no airs of a noble young master, asking gently and humbly, "Where did she go?"

This is also why Doctor Zhou likes him.

Doctor Zhou has seen too many people. Over the years, some nobles have been incredibly arrogant in their attempts to get him to treat their illnesses. When he refused, they even smashed up his place several times.

He has moved countless times.

"I don't know where he went. I haven't seen him all morning."

Chu Yi frowned slightly and looked around to see if she had returned.

Doctor Zhou placed the herbs on the rack to dry. When he turned around and saw that the man looked quite well, he was surprised and came over to take his pulse by pinching his wrist.

Even the renowned doctor Zhou was stunned: "His pulse is strong, and his body temperature is normal. That guy actually decided to transfer his true energy to you?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi's gaze paused slightly.

Last time was, and this time is too...

“You originally only had one month to live, but now you can at least extend it for another six months. Kid, you’re quite lucky. If you find the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, you won’t have to die.”

"I won't compete with her for the rhinoceros horn."

Chu Yi repeated the same statement.

The renowned doctor Zhou looked at him incredulously, "She's just for beauty and skincare, how could she be more important than your life?"

"No matter what she wants to do, I won't take it from her."

"Why are you so stubborn? Are you an ox? How can you be so obstinate?"

Chu Yi had no interest in listening to what Doctor Zhou was saying. He couldn't see Nan Zhi returning, and feeling irritable, he walked straight outside.

"Where are you going? You're not going to find her, are you? Are you just asking to be abused..."

...

After recuperating and resting until her internal energy had almost fully recovered, Nan Zhi went to the organization.

The organization she belonged to had a name: Wu Hui Men (No Return Gate).

The meaning is quite simple.

Some are born to live, some are not.

Therefore, over the years, no one has ever been able to leave the Gate of No Return alive.

No one dared to suggest leaving.

Because those who brought it up have all become skeletons.

Nanzhi is one of those who was mentioned, yet she is still alive today.

The reason is simple: her martial arts skills are too amazing.

People with exceptional talent are in high demand everywhere.

The leader of the Wu Hui Sect did not want her to leave, so he used the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn to try to keep her in the sect and make her serve him.

Even if that doesn't work, killing the crown prince would still be a very good deal.

Right now, he looked at Nan Zhi's empty hands and was puzzled, remembering that the Crown Prince had been taken away by her before.

"Where is the Crown Prince's token?"

The Wu Hui Men (a sect in Taiwan) has a rule: anyone ordered to kill must bring back a token as evidence of the murder.

Nanzhi took out a bloodstained jade pendant from her clothes and threw it to him expressionlessly.

The sect leader took it, and looking at the winding bloodstains and the four-clawed python symbolizing the prince's status, his suspicions vanished.

He knew how ruthless Nanzhi was and that she would never let go of such a good opportunity to kill the Crown Prince.

However, he didn't quite understand.

"Zhan Yue, you've been a bit slow this time." The sect leader stroked the jade pendant, his mind full of doubts. "It's been eight days since the assassination attempt on the long street, and you've only just killed the person. This doesn't seem like your style."

Nanzhi, holding her sword, was too lazy to deal with him: "What do you care when I kill him? Just bring me the spirit rhinoceros horn."

The sect leader gave a look to the woman serving beside him, and the woman then went around behind the screen and took out a box.

Nanzhi looked at the box but did not reach out to take it.

"Open."

Seeing how wary she was, the woman pursed her red lips and reached out to open the box.

Nan Zhi sneered: "Your mouth is facing me."

Upon hearing this, the woman tensed up instantly and subconsciously looked at the sect leader behind her.

The sect leader sipped his tea, saying nonchalantly, "Zhan Yue, do you not even trust me?"

Nan Zhi gripped the hilt of her sword: "The sect leader has already tricked me once, I really can't believe it."

The sect leader lowered his brows, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. Seeing her wary expression, he quickly gave the woman a wink.

The woman understood and was about to open the box towards Nanzhi when she was unexpectedly struck on the shoulder. Her whole body twisted, and the box she opened was facing the sect leader.

Two poisoned darts suddenly shot out from inside; if the sect leader hadn't dodged in time, he would have been struck by one of them.

Seeing the poisoned dart stuck in the back of the chair, the sect leader was about to call for help when a sword gleaming coldly was already pressed against his neck.

The sect leader's martial arts skills were not as high as Nan Zhi's; he was just clever and cunning, which is why he became the sect leader.

Now, blocked by Nan Zhi, he naturally panicked: "Zhan Yue, do you want to rebel?"

The woman next to him was just a pretty face; she was so frightened that she hid to the side.

Hearing the commotion outside, a large group of his men, who were protecting the sect leader, quickly rushed in.

Nan Zhi casually pressed against his neck; without even saying a word, the sect leader was already terrified and screamed.

"Don't move, put down your weapons."

Everyone had no choice but to lay down their weapons and remain still.

The sect leader was surprised that Nan Zhi was so bold as to take him hostage: "Zhan Yue, let's talk this out. You just want the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn, so let me go and I'll go get it for you."

Nan Zhi's eyes were cold: "Where is it? I'll go with you."

The sect leader could only follow her to the bed behind the screen.

"The hidden compartment under the bed board."

"Take it." Nan Zhi kicked him, making him bend over, but the sword was still pressed against the back of his head.

The sect leader bent down to take it, but a dark glint flashed in his eyes. He pulled out the sword hidden inside and thrust it at Nanzhi with a backhand.

But Nan Zhi easily opened it, and incidentally cut his shoulder in the process.

Nanzhi commented casually, "Too slow."

The sect leader's eyes flashed fiercely as he thrust forward once more.

Amidst the glint of swords and the flash of cold light, streaks of blades passed by.

A large number of people also poured in from outside to join in.

The assassin who went to the inn to look for Nanzhi was named Black Fox. He rushed back after learning that Nanzhi had returned.

Knowing the sect leader's thoughts, he guessed that he would deal with Nanzhi after killing the crown prince. Hearing screams coming from inside, he immediately drew his sword and rushed in, wanting to participate.

Unexpectedly, amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he saw Nanzhi with disheveled hair, and the sect leader standing beneath her feet.

Nan Zhi glanced back slightly, and saw someone's blood flowing down her cheek. She stared at him with bloodshot eyes, like a demon.

Black Fox was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Greetings, new sect leader!"

Nanzhi raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, and felt quite pleased with the new title.

She stood before him, dragging her blood-stained sword, and said coldly, "Find the spirit rhinoceros horn even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, or I'll take your dog's life."
