Their young master of the Xie family in Xiliang was still as dazzling as ever. He stood out in the crowd, tall and imposing, and could be seen at a glance.

"Young Master!"

Xie Fu heard his voice and turned around.

The old steward, his face streaked with tears, clung to his young master, wiping away his sobs as he cried, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

Xie Fu pulled the person off him. "You've come at the right time. Go and tell the doctor in the manor to prepare."

Upon hearing this, the steward stopped crying and stared intently, trying to see through Xie Fu's armor. "You're injured?! Where are you injured? Is it serious? I'll have someone tell them to wait on you."

“It wasn’t me,” Xie Fu said coldly, gesturing with his chin toward the carriage behind him. “It was Shu Yun.”

The butler screamed in fright, "Who?!"

Inside the Xie family mansion, a faint medicinal fragrance filled Xie Fu's room. After several doctors from the mansion had treated Shu Yun in turn, two others remained to explain the situation to Xie Fu.

"Miss Shu Yun's pulse is weak and feeble, a sign of extreme physical weakness and decline. If an ordinary woman were in this condition, she would need to take good care of herself and not make any mistakes. As for Miss Shu Yun..."

The news that Shu Yun appeared outside the Xie residence that day and interrogated General Ma Gan and the steward had already spread throughout the Xie residence.

The more the doctors looked at Shu Yun's face, the more they felt she resembled a monster. Only monsters love to transform into beautiful women, seemingly beautiful, but in reality, they want to eat people's hearts and harm their lives.

When Shu Yun first appeared at the Xie residence, everyone was amazed by her beauty. They should have realized that such a stunningly beautiful face and flawless, snow-white skin could only belong to a monster.

The doctors' minds raced with countless rumors and plays they had seen, and their hands trembled violently as they took Shu Yun's pulse.

They were afraid that this extremely beautiful demoness would suddenly open her eyes, curl her fingers into claws, and rip out their hearts.

The doctors, their voices trembling, continued, "If Miss Shu Yun were to... if..."

He just couldn't bring himself to say the word "demon".

Xie Fu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the person sleeping peacefully on the couch, and said with a calm expression, "She said she is not a demon."

The doctor secretly glanced at Xie Fu.

Good heavens! The young master's affectionate gaze has been captivating for three years. This Miss Shu Yun has already stolen his soul again.

The doctor wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. "Well, demons usually don't admit they're demons..."

Xie Fu reached out and tucked the blanket around Shu Yun, his voice calm, "If she says it's not true, then it's not true. She doesn't need to lie like that."

The doctor quickly replied, "Yes."

Xie Fu waved them away, saying, "Go write the prescription."

"Yes, ma'am."

Even though she had clearly told him that mortal medicine was useless to her, he couldn't just do nothing and wait for her to wake up on her own.

Xie Fu sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on her sleeping face.

If she hadn't still been breathing, he would have almost thought he was going to lose her when she stopped responding to him.

After three years apart, he never imagined that their reunion would be under such circumstances.

Her appearance and memory were exactly the same, but now she was lying on the bed, her face pale and her breathing shallow, making him worry constantly that he would lose her completely at any moment.

He sat by the bed and watched her for a while, then got up and went to the side to remove his armor and clothes. He quickly and efficiently changed his dressing and re-bandaged his wound.

After Xie Fu changed the dressing, he looked around the room and had someone bring in a few more charcoal braziers to place in the room.

Regardless of her true identity, she is in poor health and always feels cold, so we need to be extra careful with her.

He called out to the servant who was about to leave after putting down the charcoal brazier, "Are the two maids who were assigned to serve her still in the manor?"

The servant stood there for a few seconds, not realizing who "she" referred to.

After realizing who the young master was referring to, they cautiously replied, "Regarding personnel changes in the manor, you'll have to ask the steward; we servants can't recall..."

Xie Fu nodded, "Then go and call the butler over."

"yes."

The young master returned safely from the front lines, and the steward's gloom vanished. The only remaining hidden danger was that person named Shu Yun.

He didn't want to recall what happened to Ma Gan that day at all.

No one knows what kind of sorcery that witch used, but those invisible winds obediently surrounded her.

With black hair, a red dress, and skin as white as snow, she was stunningly beautiful, and also incredibly dangerous.

The wind that surrounded her swirled around her fingertips, and as the woman named Shu Yun lightly moved her fingertips through the air, several deep cracks appeared on the ground.

Even the sharpest blade cannot cut such a smooth and clean slit in the ground.

The steward and Ma Gan both thought they would probably die that day, after all, they were facing something they didn't know, and their intuition told them that they had no chance of winning against those extremely fierce wind blades.

He still remembers the cold sweat that clung to Ma Gan's forehead, which fell straight onto his hand with a "plop".

Afterwards, Ma Gan told me that the reason he was so nervous was because martial artists have an innate sense of alertness.

At that moment, Ma Gan's hand gripping the knife was slipping. He knew that if the woman surrounded by the wind decided to, the next second could be the death of all of them.

Unexpectedly, Shu Yun didn't attack them; she seemed to have used some other kind of sorcery. The butler only remembered that his consciousness was blurred for a few seconds, and he seemed to have been forced to answer her question. When he regained his senses, she was nowhere to be seen.
