Xiao Yuhan understood somewhat. He sat back down with a solemn expression. His junior sister was also very surprised after hearing Xiao Yuhan's answer. She kept checking Xiao Yuhan's injuries and finally said slowly after a long time, "Senior brother, your injuries are very strange. Your soul has been severely damaged. What kind of enemy is this?"
Xiao Yuhan shook her head. "I don't know. I don't even know when I was infected. Junior sister, I have a bad feeling. This alliance meeting with Xuehan Blade Sect is probably very dangerous. We need to call Senior Brother Liu Jiantang to help. I can only feel more at ease with him here."
Nangong Ling'er looked serious and then said, "I will first write to Senior Brother Liu about the situation here."
Xiao Yuhan nodded. He didn't continue speaking, but looked around at everyone in the room. Lu Yuan and Ai Yue stood to the side with solemn expressions, seemingly lost in thought. Bai Yao's worry was hard to hide, and Murong Zhi's reaction was quite normal, as if nothing was strange.
"Alright, it's nothing serious. You can all leave now. Yao'er, stay here. I have something to say to you!"
After saying that, the junior sister left the room, thinking she would write a letter first, while the other disciples bowed and left one after another.
After everyone left, Xiao Yuhan calmed himself down for a long time before finally asking, "Yao'er, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Bai Yao didn't know why Xiao Yuhan asked that, but seeing Xiao Yuhan's serious expression, she pondered for a moment and then sat down in the chair next to her master. "What does Master want to ask?"
"I left after you went to sleep tonight. Did you notice anything unusual in your room afterwards?"
Bai Yao thought for a moment and said with certainty, "No, Yao'er is not asleep, but I still haven't found anything unusual."
Xiao Yuhan was a little puzzled and continued to ask, "Then did you sense whether anyone had entered my room?"
Bai Yao pondered for a long time, then said, "No, if I did, I could sense it."
"Huh? Are you so sure? Didn't you rest?"
Bai Yao avoided eye contact, "Yao'er can't sleep."
Xiao Yuhan didn't pay attention to Bai Yao's reaction, but became increasingly puzzled as to under what circumstances the enemy attacked him.
Suddenly, the little girl's face turned pale, and she immediately said, "Master... I remembered something..."
"What's up?"
“A-Zhi came to my room today and brought me a censer of calming incense.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan immediately got up and went to Bai Yao's room. He immediately saw the incense burner on the table and rushed over to check it, but there was nothing inside, not even any incense ash.
"Yao'er, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Bai Yao quickly shook her head and said, "Yao'er can't be mistaken!"
Xiao Yuhan picked up the incense burner and sniffed it, his eyes narrowing into slits. At this moment, Bai Yao immediately said, "I'll go and call A-Zhi right now!"
Xiao Yuhan stopped her, saying, "No need, Yao'er. From now on, you must be wary of your junior brother. Remember! If anything happens, prioritize your own safety and try not to be alone with him! From now on, stay by your senior sister Ai Yue's side at all times!"
Seeing her master's serious expression, Bai Yao nodded in agreement.
After explaining everything, Xiao Yuhan returned to her room alone. After much deliberation, she took out her brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and wrote a letter to Zhang Chengfeng, who was far away in Lingsu.
Although the Blood Lotus Sect would also be attending the Snow Cold Blade Sect meeting as an ally, there were still some things he needed to explain to Zhang Chengfeng, things he himself had to face. After doing all this, Xiao Yuhan was wide awake. He jumped onto the roof, sat on the eaves, and gazed intently at the direction of the Northern Border.
Just as dawn was breaking, Bai Yao came up to him. "Master, I've been looking for you for so long. It turns out you were on the roof of Yao'er's house."
"You, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, still can't sense my aura?" Xiao Yuhan asked softly.
Bai Yao thought for a moment and smiled slightly. Without explaining anything, she simply said, "Junior Uncle said that we will go directly to the Snow Cold Blade Sect today, so Master, let's get ready to set off."
Xiao Yuhan was somewhat absent-minded. He was still recalling the scene in the illusion last night. The fact that the man who called himself Lin Yuan could so easily perceive that Bai Yao was his weakness made him very uneasy.
He became increasingly worried about Bai Yao's situation, and also increasingly worried about his relationship with Bai Yao.
