An hour passed.
Ao Qian came out, and Song Xiwei hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "How is it?"
"For now, my life is safe. I can hold out until our wedding tomorrow. Once I get the alchemy cauldron, it shouldn't be a problem."
Aoqian looked extremely weak and pale.
Song Xiwei stared at him for a few more moments. "Are you alright?"
Aoqian shook his head. "Go in and see your brother."
"and you……"
Aoqian gave a slight smile. "It's alright."
"Then I'll go check on him first..."
"Um."
Just as Song Xiwei turned to enter the cave, Aoqian suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, what's wrong with you...?"
Aoqian didn't respond at all, no matter how Song Xiwei called him.
What should we do? The wedding is tomorrow, and now Aoqian is unconscious.
Just as Song Xiwei was feeling completely lost, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from inside the cave.
It was a voice from nowhere...
Song Xiwei hurried into the cave and saw that Wulai had already opened his eyes and woken up.
"Wu Lai, how are you? Is there anything else that hurts?" Song Xiwei hurriedly went over to help Wu Lai.
Wu Lai watched as Song Xiwei circled around him with worry, her eyes fixed on Song Xiwei without blinking.
Song Xiwei was puzzled; why did she feel that Wu Lai's gaze towards her was different from before...?
I always felt that besides the simple brother-sister relationship, there was something else that I couldn't quite explain.
"How have you been lately?" Wu Lai reached out and pinched Song Xiwei's cheek, his eyes filled with deep tenderness.
Song Xiwei thought this was the intimacy between siblings. Although they were not related by blood, she actually relied on Wulai a lot, after all, they had grown up together since childhood.
So, she didn't pull away from Wu Lai's touch. Instead, as usual, she rubbed her cheek against his palm and said, "It wasn't good. I missed you all so much..."
A strange glint flashed in Wu Lai's eyes. After a pause, he asked her, "Do you want to leave this place?"
Song Xiwei blurted out, "Of course I want to! I think about it all the time. This place was novel when I first arrived, but after a while, it just becomes like this. It's beautiful, but it lacks soul because there's no freedom. It feels like everything has lost its most precious value. Sigh..."
“Since you want to leave so badly, then let’s leave this place!” Wu Lai said to Song Xiwei.
"It's not that easy. There's a formation here; we can't get out. The only reason you're alive is because Aoqian saved you..."
"Ao Qian?" Wu Lai suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You?"
“Aoqian is that doctor. Didn’t you come here looking for him? I thought you knew his background…”
“Of course I know his background,” Wu Lai sighed.
"Although he is the young master of this Bibo Bay, he doesn't actually have any real power. It's mainly his grandfather who makes the decisions. But don't worry, after our wedding tomorrow, he will be able to get some power. When he has the medicine-refining cauldron, he can completely heal your injuries. Once you're healed, find an opportunity to leave this place."
Upon hearing this, Wu Lai's face darkened. "You're getting married to him tomorrow? You, you and he have already progressed to this point?"
"Huh? No, Brother Wulai, you've misunderstood. I don't like him..."
Wu Lai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is that really true?"
"Why would I lie to you about this? I was kidnapped here by him, it wasn't my own choice."
Wu Lai seemed relieved. "Then, you can't go to the wedding tomorrow."
"You mean, you want me to elope? No way, this place is heavily guarded, I can't escape. Besides, your injuries can only be treated after Aoqian gets the alchemy cauldron, so there's no way to avoid this wedding..."
