As Shen Xi held the rope, a moment of guilt flashed through her mind.
Mai Zizi kept saying that Su Jinxia told her to wait for her, so given Su Jinxia's personality, no matter how late it was, she would definitely go to save Mai Zizi.
"I should have sent someone to stay there and wait for her," Shen Xi said regretfully.
Last night, when Shen Xi saw Mai Zizi's half-dead state, he was both anxious and angry, and for a moment he forgot about her.
"Hurry!" Shen Xi mounted his horse and quickly left the city to search.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxia had already bought horses, left the city, and headed straight for Liuli Mountain.
After two days and two nights, Su Jinxia finally returned to Liuli Mountain.
"My lord, you've returned?"
At the entrance of the Liuli Society, there were a large number of guards. When they saw Su Jin, they rushed forward and knelt down to greet her.
They already knew what Nie Qingyi had done, and that Su Jinxia had successfully obtained the power of the Gu Mother.
Therefore, they are now truly bowing down to Su Jin.
"Where is Su Hu?" Su Jin straightened up and asked indifferently.
"Inside the hall."
"Tell him to come out."
"yes!"
A moment later, Su Hu rushed out and, seeing Su Jinxia, burst into tears of joy, embracing her tightly.
However, all that could be seen was blood.
"You!" Su Hu was shocked.
"Don't make a sound." Su Jin's lower body slumped slightly as she spoke weakly.
Su Hu was shaken and dared not say a word.
Su Jin asked Su Hu to go with him to a secluded place to talk.
Su Hu then protected her, and the two walked into the jungle until they were alone.
"How did you get so badly injured?" Su Hu asked anxiously.
Su Jin shook her head. "It's nothing, it just looks serious. Where is Yang Jiaoruo now?"
Su Hu's expression turned guilty. "As you predicted, her target was Liuli Village, and specifically Uncle and Aunt. Fortunately, I had set a trap early on, preventing her from disturbing Uncle and Aunt. However, she was too vigilant; upon realizing something was wrong, she immediately retreated into the deep mountains."
Hearing that her parents were safe, Su Jin finally felt relieved.
That's good, that's good.
As for Nie Qingyi... Su Jinxia couldn't pinpoint her location for the time being, so he could only say, "No matter what, go after her and don't give her a chance to catch her breath."
“Okay.” Su Hu agreed, his gaze falling on Su Jinxia’s back. “I’ll take you back. The Liuli Society is now completely under my control, there will be no danger.”
Su Jin shook her head. "The people from Phoenix Pavilion are looking for me. I must go back as soon as possible, otherwise more and more of my secrets will be exposed. Tell the disciples who just saw me to keep their mouths shut and not let anyone know that I have returned."
"But your injury..."
"It's alright."
Su Hu had no choice but to take out all the medicine he carried with him and give it to Su Jin.
Su Jin put the bag away, her eyes showing some hesitation. "You... take me to see my parents."
Su Hu nodded and led Su Jin down to the outside of the Su family's courtyard.
Su's parents happened to be in the yard.
Su's mother was cooking, and Su's father was weaving lanterns.
"It's still a long way from the New Year, why are you already making lanterns?" Su's mother said casually.
Father Su chuckled twice, “These past two days they haven’t let us into the mountains, so I’ve been idle, so I’ve started weaving early, making a few fun ones, like grasshopper lanterns, green snake lanterns, and white tiger lanterns. Ah Jin loves them the most!”
Su's mother's expression immediately darkened. "I wonder if she'll be able to come back before the New Year, and whether she'll even see your lanterns."
There was also solemnity and longing in Su's father's eyes, but he laughed and said, "Look at you, she is now the Master of Glazed Glass, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the martial arts world, how can she always stay by our side? Don't hold my daughter back!"
"Besides, even if she can't come back this year, I'll continue knitting for her next year. She'll see it eventually."
Su's mother turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears, then softly murmured "Mmm".
Su Jinxia stood at a distance, her eyes red-rimmed, her brows furrowed, and her throat tight with discomfort.
"Aren't you going in to talk?" Su Hu said.
Su Jin shook her head, her voice hoarse: "In my current state, going there will only make them worry."
With that, she turned and ran away, not daring to look back. "I'll be back, I'll be back soon!"
Su Hu watched Su Jin walk away, his heart aching with unbearable sorrow.
However, his worry quickly turned into anger. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with malice. "Nie Qingyi, I won't let you get away with this!"
After descending the mountain, Su Jin headed towards Phoenix Pavilion.
Once she returns to Phoenix Pavilion, she can send a message to Mai Zizi, and Phoenix Pavilion will naturally stop looking for her.
Otherwise, if they traced the trail all the way to the Liuli Society, Su Jinxia would have no way to explain herself no matter how hard she tried.
Liulishan is not far from Phoenix Pavilion, but it started raining halfway there.
Rainwater flowed into the wound, causing excruciating pain that made one's scalp tingle and one's soul tremble.
Su Jinxia relied entirely on the indomitable endurance she inherited from her previous life to climb the steps of Phoenix Pavilion. When she saw the guards at the mountain gate, she finally couldn't hold back and fainted to the ground.
The guards recognized Su Jin and quickly carried her to the medicine shed.
"Dr. Lu, Miss Su has collapsed and is injured at the mountain gate. Please come quickly."
"Ah Jin?"
Lu Ming hurriedly went out and saw Su Jinxia, whose clothes were completely stained red and whose face was bloodless.
"Quickly, put her down properly and call Shenyun from Tingyu Tower."
The guards put the person down and hurriedly went to pick up Chen Yun.
Lu Ming gently picked up Su Jinxia's slender, weak wrist, a sense of fear welling up inside him.
He pressed three fingers together on Su Jin's pulse, and the pulse actually changed.
However, this change broke his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The pulse was weak and feeble, beating faintly.
Deficiency of both qi and blood, and damage to the internal organs, indicates a critical and life-threatening condition.
