"It's probably going to rain in the capital. Let's go down and rest for a bit."

Chu Qingxuan nodded, "I'll listen to my senior brother."

The two stopped in the woods, and as soon as they landed, they heard a rough male voice.

"Isn't she just the unloved eldest daughter of the Ouyang family? She's been beaten to death now."

“That’s right, we’re so pitiful, we even have to help her dig a grave.” This was another person’s voice.

"If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to just leave her here?"

The Ouyang family?

Chu Qingxuan frowned; the female lead was also from a royal family.

Could it be...?

"Forget it, Ouyang Xue is pitiful too. Her mother was killed by her at birth, and she offended the second young lady. Death is a kind of relief for her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingxuan sneered inwardly, thinking, "It really is Ouyang Xue."

Lin Zhen also overheard their conversation. He looked at Chu Qingxuan and said, "There's nothing to see on the corpse. Let's go."

He'd seen plenty of corpses, but he'd never seen his junior sister before.

Moreover, encountering such a thing is considered unlucky.

Chu Qingxuan said, "Senior brother, let's make a bet."

"Hmm? What are we betting on?" Lin Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Let's take a gamble: that girl named Ouyang Xue isn't dead."

Lin Zhen's eyes were filled with affection as he followed Chu Qingxuan's words, saying, "Alright, I'll bet she's already dead."

Both of them said they were dead, and since they had met Ouyang Xue, they were obviously dead.

"If I'm right, will you promise me one thing?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, if I'm right, you have to promise me one thing."

Chu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Deal."

The two reached a consensus and looked at the two people digging the ground. Suddenly, Lin Zhen's pupils shrank slightly. He saw the girl slowly sit up, and her face was cold. She stood up and walked towards the two people digging the hole, like a demon.

Who are you?

The two froze in their digging, slowly turned around, and when they saw Ouyang Xue, they were so frightened that their legs trembled.

"You...you...are you dead or alive?"

Ouyang Xue gave a cold laugh, "What do you think?"

She easily dealt with the two men, but as soon as she took a step, a sharp pain shot through her head. The original owner's memories flashed through her mind like a movie.

Overwhelmed by the flood of memories, Ouyang Xue finally collapsed to the ground.

Chu Qingxuan ran to Ouyang Xue and picked her up from the ground.

Lin Zhen noticed Chu Qingxuan running over, so he followed her.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

"Help someone?"

"oh."

Lin Zhen thought to himself, "Junior Sister is indeed kind."

However, Lin Zhen really misunderstood Chu Qingxuan. She only wanted to save Ouyang Xue and make Ouyang Xue owe her a favor.

Lin Zhen carried Ouyang Xue on his back, and they found an inn to stay in.

Chu Qingxuan took Ouyang Xue's pulse, then fed her a blood-activating pill, and said, "It's nothing serious, just some external injuries from being beaten, plus being hungry."

Lin Zhen glanced at Ouyang Xue and said worriedly, "I just inquired and found out that Ouyang Xue is the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family of the Imperial City Immortal Sect. Because she cannot cultivate, she is not favored in the Ouyang family."

Judging from Ouyang Xue's outstretched hand just now, she doesn't seem like a good-for-nothing.

Despite being so seriously ill, she still managed to take care of two grown men.

Chu Qingxuan hummed in agreement and reminded Lin Zhen, "Senior brother, you lost."

Lin Zhen sighed, "I know."

Chu Qingxuan chuckled, "I haven't thought of what I need you to do for me yet, just wait and see."

Lin Zhen: "..."

I always feel like my junior sister will mess with me.
