Song Linlin lived in seclusion in the bamboo building, with only Shangguan Qing's daily visits to break the silence. He would bring her homemade meals and share the trivialities of the sect with her.
However, all the peace was broken in that bloody dusk.
Shangguan Qing stumbled into the bamboo building, his clothes stained with blood and his face in panic. He said hurriedly, "Junior Sister, come with me! People from other sects are attacking us, and Master and Mistress are seriously injured."
Song Linlin's heart tightened, and she followed Shangguan Qing to the scene of the conflict in a hurry.
When she arrived at the scene, she saw a heartbreaking scene: the master was lying on the ground injured, and the master's wife Song Yueyue was also covered in scars, still wielding a sword to resist the invaders.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and fighting. The originally peaceful Jiang Sect was like an isolated island in troubled times, on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, a leader of a rival sect shouted, "Jiang Sect, if you want to save your sect, you must immediately hand over the evil manual that increases your power!"
Song Linlin then realized that the reason why other sects launched a massive attack was because of the mysterious pill recipe she accidentally obtained that day.
"The person who knows the recipe is here, you can catch her!" Shangguan Qing pushed Song Linlin out.
She is the only one who knows the recipe, and Shangguan Qing, in the fog of battle, actually considers handing her over in order to protect his master's wife.
Song Linlin's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't believe that Shangguan Qing, who had always treated her so gently, would make such a choice. She looked at Shangguan Qing, trying to find the answer in his eyes, but all she saw was pain and struggle.
"Qing'er! What are you doing!" the master's wife said sternly.
After saying this, she immediately threw herself into the battle.
The battle continues, and amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, Master's wife Song Yueyue's figure appears increasingly determined and brave.
However, just as an opponent's sharp blade was about to touch Gu Yufei, the master's wife pushed her away suddenly, but was cut by the blade herself.
"Let's go, Lin'er, remember, you are more important than anyone else!" Master's wife Song Yueyue used up her last bit of strength to push Gu Yufei away, then turned around and swung her sword to fight the enemy.
"Why let her go!" Shangguan Qing looked at Song Linlin with hatred and stabbed the enemy's throat with a sword.
Song Linlin's tears blurred her vision. She kept looking back while fleeing, only to see that her master's wife was gradually becoming unable to cope under the siege of numerous enemies.
In the end, Song Yueyue collapsed from exhaustion, her eyes filled with expectations for Song Linlin's future and reluctance to leave the sect.
Song Linlin was heartbroken. She knew that if it weren't for her master's wife Song Yueyue who saved her at the critical moment, she would probably have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
After escaping in the chaos, Song Linlin hid in the mountains, temporarily avoiding the pursuit. She sat on a cold stone, recalling the warm smile and selfless protection of her master's wife Song Yueyue.
During the long night, Song Linlin made a decision. She would not let the sacrifice of her master and mistress go to waste. She would never give the secret recipe for the power-enhancing medicine to those enemies who coveted power and would do anything to achieve it.
But from then on, she was the leader among them.
Shangguan Qing completely hated Song Linlin after Song Yueyue's death.
No one would have thought that many years later, this disciple of Jiang Sect would become the national teacher who was second only to the emperor.
He gained the emperor's trust with his superb medical skills, especially his techniques for longevity and youth.
