When Shangguan Wanning woke up again, an old and familiar face appeared in front of her.
For a moment, her nose felt sour and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Master…”
Shangguan Wanning hugged Lu Xiangzi and burst into tears. "Where did you go? I thought I would never see you again..."
Lu Xiangzi sighed deeply. He patted Shangguan Wanning's back with concern and said kindly, "Silly girl, don't cry... It's okay. With Master here, it doesn't matter even if the sky falls."
Shangguan Wanning gradually stopped crying.
She found that Lu Xiangzi looked haggard, and there seemed to be a thousand things in his eyes that hesitant to say.
She soon understood.
Their every move must be monitored now.
Lu Xiangzi had something to say to her, but couldn't say it.
At this time, the door opened and Sun Jinyao walked in with food.
He placed the food on the table one by one and put away three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
"Eat. I made it myself."
Shangguan Wanning realized that Sun Jinyao was talking to Lu Xiangzi.
She felt a little surprised.
In her impression, the way Sun Jinyao and Lu Xiangzi get along with each other is that although Lu Xiangzi is the elder, he has always been accommodating and trying to please Sun Jinyao.
But now, it seems to be the other way around.
Shangguan Wanning got out of bed and helped Lu Xiangzi walk to the table.
After the three of them sat down, Sun Jinyao picked up a piece of fresh bamboo shoots for Lu Xiangzi.
"Tomorrow, Ning'er and I will get married." Sun Jinyao whispered, "You can be our witness."
"Then what?" Lu Xiangzi asked while eating, "Are you planning to stay here?"
"No, let's go back to Medicine King Valley together. From now on... Ning'er and I will stay by your side and will not care about anything in the martial arts world or the court."
Lu Xiangzi suddenly stopped what he was doing, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and stared at Sun Jinyao in a daze.
"Do you think... that's okay?"
Sun Jinyao and Lu Xiangzi looked at each other, and the corners of their eyes inadvertently glanced outside, appearing to have some profound meaning.
"Hey, Mr. Sun, I'm sorry to bother you."
A middle-aged man walked in and glanced at Shangguan Wanning with a hint of teasing.
"The master is here, please come over to meet him."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but frown when she saw the middle-aged man take out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wipe the corner of his mouth.
"You guys eat first, I'll be back soon." Sun Jinyao stood up and walked out.
The middle-aged man looked at Shangguan Wanning, smiled, and turned to leave.
"Eunuch?"
Shangguan Wanning had been in and out of the palace since she was a child and was very familiar with this group. She was almost certain that this middle-aged man was a eunuch.
Judging from the material of the clothes he was wearing, which was extremely fine, his social status must be quite high.
But……
Shangguan Wanning searched her memory, but she seemed to have never seen him in the palace.
"Ning'er, don't be absent-minded when eating, otherwise it will be difficult to digest and bad for your health."
Lu Xiangzi's sudden words interrupted Shangguan Wanning's thoughts.
She felt that Lu Xiangzi's tone was a little strange, but she still listened obediently.
Late at night, Shangguan Wanning lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She didn't know how to get rid of Sun Jinyao, and even more...
Um?
Shangguan Wanning smelled a faint fragrance and realized that someone was secretly doing something.
Before she could react, she saw a figure reflected on the bed curtains.
She secretly pulled out her hairpin and held it in her hand.
"Ning'er, I know you're awake. Get up quickly and follow me."
"Master?"
Shangguan Wanning hurriedly got off the bed, but before she could stand firmly, Lu Xiangzi took her hand and ran out.
She didn't ask any more questions.
The master and his disciple came to the backyard, and suddenly a group of big men holding torches surrounded them and forced them into a corner.
"It's so late, where is Doctor Lu going?"
Shangguan Wanning saw the middle-aged eunuch walking over surrounded by several of his men, looking at them with a half-smile.
Lu Xiangzi's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice and said to Shangguan Wanning, "Ning'er, you have to watch carefully the moves I will use in a while. Don't miss any of them, and don't make any mistakes."
Shangguan Wanning was full of doubts, but as soon as Lu Xiangzi finished speaking, she attacked the big men.
Although Lu Xiangzi's martial arts skills are not weak, he is definitely not a top master.
Shangguan Wanning discovered that when he was fighting the enemy, he was not attacking and dodging according to the best methods.
Why...?
“Master!”
Shangguan Wanning watched Lu Xiangzi being slashed by the steel knife, but he could have clearly dodged that move just now.
"ah!"
Lu Xiangzi was knocked away by a palm strike, and Shangguan Wanning hurried forward.
"Master, stop fighting... Forget it, we won't run away..." Shangguan Wanning didn't want her master to die in front of her.
"Not running away?" Lu Xiangzi smiled softly, "If you don't run away, you will marry that brat? Are you willing?"
"I……"
"I know you don't want to." Lu Xiangzi had no choice but to accept Shangguan Wanning as his disciple, but now he really loves this disciple. "If this had happened in the past... it would have been so great."
"Mr. Sun, you've come just in time."
Sun Jinyao came hurriedly. When the eunuch saw him, his eyebrows raised and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You see, how to deal with it."
Sun Jinyao immediately walked to Lu Xiangzi's side, squatted down to feel his pulse, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll help you back to your room."
"Mr. Sun, don't forget your master's instructions." The eunuch stood in front of Sun Jinyao, "In the whole world, only your master can cure Mu Jingrui's poison."
"As long as he can't get out, it's useless to Mu Jingrui."
Shangguan Wanning's heart was in a knot.
"But the master only believes in..." The eunuch walked around behind Sun Jinyao and sneered, "Dead people."
After saying that, he handed a dagger to Sun Jinyao.
"I'll tell you the truth. Mu Jingrui has already sent a large number of troops to search the surrounding area, and they will soon find this place. If you don't make up your mind to root it out... then we will have to do it for you."
Shangguan Wanning was horrified.
She subconsciously pulled Lu Xiangzi over and protected her behind her, looking at everyone warily, including Sun Jinyao.
Sun Jinyao couldn't help but feel a little chilled when he saw Shangguan Wanning's action.
He took the dagger from the eunuch and turned to look at Lu Xiangzi.
"Brother Yao, you...you have to think clearly. Master treats you like his own son. If you kill him like this, then...what's the difference between you and a beast?"
"Am I not already a beast in your heart?"
The cold moonlight projected onto the dagger, reflecting a cold light.
Sun Jinyao's eyes were sharp. With a slight movement of his wrist, he threw the dagger out with murderous intent.
