After exchanging pleasantries, everyone returned to Fu Xiaoyu's residence in Jingyuan Town to rest.

"Have you seen Miss Rain and Dew?"

Xu Wanqing was unaware of what Cui Yulu had been through, and simply asked Fu Xiaoyu about her situation in a low voice.

"Um."

A simple "hmm" was enough to answer.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything more, Xu Wanqing had no choice but to remain silent and stay by his side.

Cui Yulu regained her senses temporarily and quickly went to the cave. Because of Lu Changfeng's previous instructions, the men in black did not stop her.

She entered the cave without difficulty and found the Han family members who were being held captive.

"Rain and Dew, what brings you here?"

Han Chunying was the first to notice her arrival and asked in a low voice.

"Shh, don't say anything. I'll let you leave. Remember to keep going straight along the cave. There's a secret passage there that will take you out of here without those men in black finding you."

"Why should I believe you? Haven't you already joined the Shadow Pavilion? What are you here to save us for?"

Wen Yu was the first to realize that Cui Yulu had been bewitched, and her current normal behavior was definitely abnormal; it was normal for her not to come to save them.

Han Yu'an also realized what was happening.

"Yulu, does your head hurt right now?"

Cui Yulu stared wide-eyed at Han Yu'an and Wen Yu.

“If you don’t want to go out, you can stay here. I don’t necessarily have to interfere with you.”

He then untied the ropes binding Han Chunying, Han Hu, and Cao Qiaoniu, and turned to leave.

Everything happened so smoothly that no one noticed anything unusual.

"Yulu, how are you now? I heard you were poisoned by a Gu poison, is that true?"

Cao Qiaoniu looked at her with a worried expression, but Cui Yulu was normal at this time; it was the medicine given by Lai Guitou that had taken effect.

At this moment, the Gu worms inside her body were stunned by the old ghost's poison, and she was temporarily conscious.

So at this moment, she only had one thought in her mind: to rescue this family. But since Wen Yu and Han Yu'an didn't appreciate it, she naturally wouldn't force them.

"Sister, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I only remember that my aunt asked me to rescue you, so I came. If you don't want to leave, you don't have to."

“We are naturally willing to go out, but I am more worried about your health.”

Cui Yulu didn't understand what she meant, but since the other person cared about her, she had to respond.

"Good sister, if you are really worried about me, please take the child and leave here quickly. I don't have much time, and it's very dangerous here."

At this moment, a voice began to remind her in her mind, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Let's hurry up and leave, or it will be too late."

Cui Yulu looked anxious; she had a premonition that someone was coming from outside.

As expected, Lu Changfeng led Han An and the little mute into the cave.

"So you were here all along! We've been looking for you for ages."

Lu Changfeng looked at Cui Yulu with a smile and waved to welcome her.

The short, old shaman following behind moved his lips slightly, and Cui Yulu's head began to throb violently.

"Hurry up and leave, don't waste any more time."

As he spoke, the hidden weapon in his hand flew out and blocked a group of dark figures.

But it was only temporary; this time, the little mute boy came out to help Cui Yulu.

Han An realized there was a traitor among the shadows, so he had the old shaman throw a plum blossom dart.

It hit the little mute boy's shoulder blade squarely.

Why did you do that?

Cui Yulu looked at Han An in confusion, realizing that Han An had arranged all of this.

"For no particular reason, I just wanted to do it."

The little mute boy couldn't speak, but he could sense that the plum blossom dart was poisonous.

"Don't speak, this dart is poisoned."

Cui Yulu quickly took out the pills and gave them to him.

"Don't speak. This medicine can only temporarily relieve the poisoning. I'll ask the old shaman for the antidote later."

Cui Yulu gently comforted the little mute boy, while Lin Yun and Tuoba Xuan outside arrived with their guards to rescue them.

"Oh ho, so you came prepared. But do you think these shrimp soldiers and crab generals can defeat me?"

"Even if we can't beat you, we have to fight. You've made me suffer these past few days, and this time I won't let you off easily."

Lu Changfeng was stunned. How could this be? Wasn't Cui Yulu under a spell? How could she be so lucid now?

He couldn't help but look at Han An and the old witch, his eyes full of suspicion.

Taking advantage of her lucidity, Cui Yulu continued, "You must be wondering why I'm so lucid. I have to thank Han An for that. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to stay lucid."

Lu Changfeng became even more suspicious of Han An, who was now extremely flustered.

"Cui Yulu, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do those things. Don't make things up."

"Didn't you give Fu Xiaoyu the temporary antidote to please him? Or am I remembering wrong?"

Cui Yulu's headache had reached its limit, but she had to endure it for the sake of the plan's success.

Han An knew he had fallen into her trap.

He quickly pledged his loyalty to Lu Changfeng, saying, "Sect Master, I did not do that. These were all plans devised by Fu Xiaoyu and her. I would never betray you, Sect Master."

Lu Changfeng's brows began to furrow.

Cui Yulu knew that he had become suspicious.

It's good to arouse suspicion; the purpose is to sow discord among them.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, this servant has something to say."

At this moment, Tao Wan suddenly stepped forward.

She looked at Lu Changfeng with a pitiful expression.

"Feel free to speak your mind."

Lu Changfeng scoffed lightly, his eyes clearly filled with rage.

"In fact, Han An had long wanted to curry favor with Fu Xiaoyu and had always been thinking about betraying the Pavilion Master. It wasn't until he met Cui Yulu that the two of them began to collude, with the goal of destroying the Pavilion Master's great cause in one fell swoop."

Clearly, Han An hadn't expected Tao Wan to say that, and he stood up angrily, shoving Tao Wan away.

"You wretched woman, I've been so good to you, and you treat me like this? I was blind to have saved you. I should have let you die under those men."

Han An sternly rebuked Tao Wan, but to his surprise, she burst into tears.

"Master, listen to this. This man is best at using others and then kicking them aside. I was just a pawn in his game. At first, he asked me to seduce Han An, and I agreed. Now that I know his true colors, he actually cursed me like this. You saw it all, Master?"

At this moment, the guards outside, led by Lin Yun, had already defeated those shadowy figures one by one.

The shadowy figure was retreating steadily, and it seemed that it was about to be unable to hold on. Then this happened again, and Lu Changfeng felt a surge of anger.

He had no time to deal with the Han family's affairs. These were not part of his revenge plan in the first place. They were all tricks played by Han An. He trusted him and believed in him back then, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

"Han An, you'd better give me an explanation. What are you thinking? Otherwise, you won't be leaving this cave alive today."
