Xu Yuehuai's sword flashed, each swing accompanied by a sharp, cold wind, as if freezing everything around him. Meanwhile, the Ghost Doctor's silver needles moved like serpents emerging from their holes, drawing silver trails across the night sky, mysterious and unpredictable.

The leader of the Ghost Shadow Sect sneered, his figure instantly blurring as if blending into the surrounding darkness. However, his attacks became even more ferocious, each strike carrying a force that tore through the air, making him a force to be reckoned with.

After a thrilling and intense battle, Xu Yuehuai finally found an opening. She swung her sword, the blade flashing across the night sky like lightning. The Ghost Shadow Sect leader's figure froze in mid-air, then plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The battle ended, and Xu Yuehuai, panting heavily, exchanged a smile with the Ghost Doctor. Although exhausted, their eyes gleamed with victory. The two quickly led Qi Guze away from the Ghost Shadow Sect's stronghold and returned to the Ghost Doctor's residence.

...

Inside the room, the Ghost Doctor began treating Qi Guze's wounds. His technique was incredibly skilled, like a craftsman meticulously sculpting a precious work of art.

Xu Yuehuai stood by the window, gazing at the distant starry sky. Her heart was filled with emotion and anticipation. She knew this was only the beginning of a long battle, and many more challenges awaited her. However, she firmly believed that as long as she held love and faith in her heart, she could go even further.

"Ah Yue, look at the starry sky." Qi Guze suddenly woke up and broke the silence in the room.

Xu Yuehuai turned her head and looked at Qi Guze. He had a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were shining with a deep light.

“Every star represents a person’s destiny. And our destiny is to fight against those dark forces to the very end.” Qi Guze’s words were firm and powerful, like a series of brilliant stars shining in the night sky.

Xu Yuehua nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering determination. "I know this road will be difficult, but as long as we have faith in our hearts, we will definitely be able to reach the end and achieve victory." Her words were full of conviction, as if an invisible force was propelling them forward.

The next day, the morning sunlight gently shone on the quiet courtyard, and Song Luo hurriedly stepped into this usually peaceful space.

Her arrival was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, breaking the tranquility. She looked around anxiously, searching for that familiar figure, calling out repeatedly, "Where's Gu Ze? Where is Gu Ze?"

Xu Yuehuai walked out of the house with a complex expression on her face, a mixture of gratitude and determination. She looked at Song Luo and said softly but firmly, "Although you came to remind Aze when he was in danger last time, we are ultimately not on the same path, so I will not pursue the matter of you kidnapping Aze before."

Song Luo's face turned pale instantly. Her eyes widened as she stared at Xu Yuehuai in disbelief. Her voice trembled: "You called him out, what kind of nonsense are you spouting to me here? I didn't kidnap him, I rescued him!" Her eyes flashed with anger and resentment, as if Xu Yuehuai's words had touched the deepest wound in her heart.

Xu Yuehuai remained unmoved, her eyes calm and resolute, as if she had already made an important decision. She gently shook her head and said, "Aze is resting right now and it's inconvenient for him to see you."

Just then, Qi Guze came out of the house. His face was pale, and he walked with a limp, clearly indicating that his previous imprisonment had taken a heavy toll on him.

He saw Song Luo, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. However, his voice was unusually firm: "A-Yue's words are my words. You may leave."

Song Luo froze, staring at Qi Guze, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger. She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling, "You...you are ungrateful! I saved you, and this is how you treat me!"

Qi Guze didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly. His eyes were deep and complex, as if they held many unknown secrets.

Xu Yuehuai stood to the side, her eyes filled with a hint of apology and helplessness, but she did not say anything to dissuade her.

Song Luo turned away angrily, her figure appearing so lonely and resolute in the sunlight. She walked out step by step, each step seemingly carrying the weight of disappointment and anger. As she stepped out of the courtyard, she glanced back, tears glistening in her eyes, then resolutely turned and left.

Xu Yuehuai watched Song Luo's figure disappear through the door, a complex emotion welling up inside her. She turned to Qi Guze, a hint of worry in her eyes: "Is this really the right thing to do? After all, she saved you."

Qi Guze didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "I know she saved me, but some things can't be resolved with simple gratitude. We are ultimately not on the same path as her. She only saved me to gain more benefits from me."

Xu Yuehuai didn't say anything more, but just stood silently beside Qi Guze, accompanying him through this difficult time.

Song Luo's figure had already disappeared into the distance, leaving only the morning sunlight and the tranquil courtyard, as if telling a story of love, hate, and revenge.

...

Xu Yuehuai stood in the palace courtyard, the moonlight reflecting off her calm and deep eyes. She clutched a letter tightly in her hand, the words on the pages slightly damp from her grip, revealing her inner tension and anxiety.

In the distance, Qi Guze's figure gradually approached. He walked steadily, but his face was still somewhat pale, obviously because his injuries had not yet healed.

Qi Guze walked to Xu Yuehuai's side, his gaze fixed on the message in his hand. He said softly, "Bai Yu has become suspicious of your double. You must go back immediately. I will stay here and recover properly, so don't worry."

Xu Yuehuai nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. He patted Qi Guze on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "You need to be careful. We've been too conspicuous lately, and there are definitely many people lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to deal with us. You need to be careful yourself too."

Qi Guze nodded slightly, his eyes revealing deep trust in Xu Yuehuai. He knew that Xu Yuehuai was an outstanding strategist and warrior, capable of turning any predicament into an opportunity.

At this moment, the Ghost Doctor also approached from a distance, his steps light yet steady, a mysterious smile on his face. He walked up to the two of them and said to Xu Yuehuai, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the Prince. If he needs anything, I will inform you immediately."

Xu Yuehua nodded gratefully. She knew the Ghost Doctor's medical skills were superb, and with him by Qi Guze's side, she could indeed leave with peace of mind. She patted Qi Guze's shoulder again, then turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.
