Xia Yinyin looked at Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue, who seemed to be in good spirits, and asked in a daze, "What are you two doing here?"
"Gathering herbs," Su Jin said, waving the Moonfire Grass in her hand.
Xia Yinyin's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to take it: "Why is there only one?"
Su Jin gently moved her hand away from Xia Yinyin.
Xia Yinyin missed her target, glared at Su Jin with raised eyebrows, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Give it to me now!"
"I picked these myself, why should I give them to you?" Su Jin smiled faintly as she looked down at the furious Xia Yinyin.
"What do you mean?" Xia Yinyin panicked, fearing that Su Jinxia would destroy the Moonfire Grass because of her previous targeting.
Su Jin chuckled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Doctors have the hearts of parents. I will take the Moonfire Grass back safely and save Xia Yang."
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, these weeds can only be kept for three days after they're pulled up. Time is of the essence, let's hurry up and go."
Then, Su Jin pulled Shen Qianxue down the mountain.
Before Xia Yinyin and the others could even catch their breath, they were forced to descend the mountain.
Xia Yinyin almost choked and choked.
"Wait, where's Xiaoyu?" Xia Yinyin caught up and asked.
"Xiaoyu?" Su Jinxia turned around in confusion. "Isn't he with you?"
Xia Yinyin had an expression that said, "How could this be?"
"Didn't he come to see you?" Xia Yinyin asked Su Jinxia.
Su Jin shrugged strangely, "No, when I came back from relieving myself, I found that everyone was gone, so I went to look for you guys and found Qianxue, but we got separated, so the two of us came straight to the top of the mountain. We haven't seen Xiaoyu yet."
Xia Yinyin was completely bewildered. She didn't believe Su Jin's words and went to check on Chen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue's eyes were cold, and she didn't say a word. From the moment she saw Xia Yinyin and the others, she exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
This gave Su Jin ample opportunity to showcase her talents.
Xia Yinyin looked grave as she pondered which part of the process had gone wrong.
Did Xiaoyu not see Su Jinxia at all? What's with the powder on the ground? Where did Xiaoyu go?
"Oh no!" Su Jin suddenly exclaimed anxiously, "Is Xiaoyu in danger? Let's go find him right away!"
"Wulin Mountain is so big, where are we going to find it?" a female teammate said with dissatisfaction. She had exhausted all her strength and was even swaying as she walked down the mountain, barely managing to keep going.
Xia Yinyin glanced at the Moonfire Grass in Su Jinxia's hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "We only have three days to get back, so let's not look for him for now. Xiaoyu's martial arts are not weak, he will come back on his own."
Su Jin shook her head and sighed, "Alas, there's nothing we can do. Who can blame us when Xiaoyu's life isn't as valuable as Young Master Xia's?"
Xia Yinyin's face darkened. Su Jinxia's words meant that she was blaming Xia Yinyin for Xiaoyu's death and injury.
Xia Yinyin was angry, but she couldn't find the words to refute it.
She could only rage inwardly: a mere disciple, so what if he dies? To die for the Xia family is their honor.
The journey back was smooth.
Two days later, Su Jin appeared before Xia Lingyun with the Moonfire Grass.
The Xia couple wept with joy.
"Quickly, Xia Yang's condition has worsened these past two days, you must go and save him."
Su Jin leaned against Shen Qianxue and smiled gently, "No rush, does Master Xia remember you said that as long as I am willing to save Xia Yang, I can name my own conditions!"
Xia Lingyun's anxious expression instantly turned cold. Su Jinxia's request for conditions at this time was truly despicable!
Thinking this to herself, Xia Lingyun dared not show it, and generously said, "Miss Su, please speak freely."
Su Jin then honestly said, "I want to see someone from your Xia family."
Xia Lingyun asked, slightly puzzled, "Who is it?"
"Master Xia," Su Jinxia said calmly, dropping a bolt from the blue.
Even Shen Qianxue was taken aback for a moment.
He finally understood why Su Jin had been entangled with the Xia family for so long.
It was for the Lonely Shadows Club.
However, the Lone Shadow Society has been dormant for many years. Even if Su Jin has mastered the Lone Shadow Heart Sutra, there is no need for him to take the lead.
Xia Lingyun's expression turned serious.
The matter is no longer as simple as a feud within the household or the lives of children.
"Who exactly is Miss Su? Why do you want to see my father?" Xia Lingyun's aura changed, becoming wary and forceful.
Su Jin shrugged, looking relaxed. "I don't need to explain to you. Just tell me if you agree or disagree?"
As she spoke, Su Jin shook the moonfire grass in her hand, which had already dimmed somewhat.
A threat, a blatant threat!
Xia Lingyun looked at Shen Qianxue, "Phoenix Lord, what is the meaning of this?"
Shen Qianxue shifted her gaze from Su Jinxia, her eyes showing more caution. After a moment's thought, she still chose to stand on Su Jinxia's side.
He said calmly, "Since my wife has something to ask the old master, I would be grateful if Master Xia could do her a favor."
lady?
Xia Lingyun and Xia Yinyin were both stunned.
How did she become a lady?
Xia Lingyun's heart sank to the bottom. She looked at Su Jinxia warily and pondered for a moment.
"You two are unaware of what has happened. After my father passed the position of manor lord to me, he went on a journey and his whereabouts are unknown. His fate is uncertain."
Xia Lingyun pondered with a hint of sadness.
Su Jin narrowed her eyes. "Trying this on me?"
According to Su Jinxia's inquiries, Xia Lingyun's father, Xia Tianhui, suffered from illness in his later years, so he passed on his position to Xia Lingyun early on and stopped getting involved in the affairs of the martial arts world.
Over the years, there has been no news of Xia Tianhui's death, and the Xia family has never sent anyone to look for him.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Xia Tianhui went on the trip.
