"The person has been taken away."
The slave walked out of the house that Li Baobei rented in the small town of Jiangnan, but the house was already empty and there was no one in sight.
He You wore a long crimson-black robe, with long, jet-black hair that reached her waist. Her hair was as smooth as silk and flowed with a faint moonlight.
His eyebrows, like distant mountains, lay horizontally beneath his forehead, exuding a calm and reserved charm.
It's been a year, why won't she see me?
He You's eyes held a hint of pain. He had forgotten how many places he had searched, how many times his hope had been ignited, and how many times his disappointment had been extinguished.
He will not give up as long as she is still alive.
Looking at the silent He You, the slave warrior slowly spoke again: "Master, perhaps the one who took Miss Li away was Dongfang Yerong, the young master of the Brightness Cult. I have learned that the two of them have known each other for a long time..."
"The Church of Light." He You's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a barely perceptible glint of bloodlust.
Everything that's preventing me from being with Nan Nan deserves to die!!!
The Church of Light is an organization independent of the martial arts world, just like the Church of Darkness.
They do not belong to any country, unlike the secret cults of the past.
The secret guards trained by the Church of Light are usually found out from all directions and sold at high prices to those who want them. Their informants are spread all over the world.
The Church of Light also has a well-established military organization. Although it is not large in scale, its members are capable of fighting a hundred men each, making them incomparable to ordinary people.
As long as you have enough chips, you can buy anything.

Deep in the mountains, there are rows of exquisite little houses scattered on the hillside.
These houses use natural wood building materials and traditional architectural styles, coexisting harmoniously with nature.
Every time the sun rises, the sunlight casts the shadow of the cottage into the lush green forest, creating beautiful scenes.
Every corner of the village is full of life and vitality, with small bridges over flowing water, ancient trees and old houses, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.
Li Baobei was brought to this place by Dongfang Yerong. When she first arrived, she could still see, but now she can no longer perceive any light at all.
Countless nights she had to endure excruciating pain, and Dongfang Yerong tried various methods, but none of them could improve her condition.
Unfortunately, the only way to get her to sleep a little more peacefully was to add some sleeping potion to the incense.
Li Baobei also considered getting rid of her burdens.
One night.
She sat in the candlelight, the cold glint of the blade reflected on her pale face, making her look somewhat terrifying.
The pain I had imagined wasn't very intense. Compared to the pain all over my body day and night, the knife mark on my wrist seemed too minor.
Fresh blood gently gushed from her veins; she couldn't see it clearly, only that it was somewhat dazzling.
The white gauze cuffs were stained bright red. Her head grew heavy, and in her hazy vision, she seemed to see her mother walking towards her. She whispered, "Mom, I miss you so much..."
"I really, really want to."
The pain in her body disappeared, and she felt a deep sense of warmth and familiarity with her mother's face. Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.
A face appeared in her mind, "He You".
Seeing He You should have made her happy, but why did she feel so bitter and her heart ached so badly at this moment?
I see.
It seems she can't be with him anymore; she won't be able to be with him in the future.
If there is an afterlife, I still hope to meet you. No worries, perhaps we will be together forever in some lifetime...
Looking at Li Baobei lying on the bed with her face ashen, Dongfang Yerong felt an unbearable heartache.
Why is she so stupid?
There is always hope in a person's life, and I will definitely find a way to save her. Why would she be so foolish!
Soon.
Li Baobei slowly opened her eyes, but all she could see was darkness. Was this hell? Why couldn't she see anything?
She slowly groped around, but the silk quilt covering her and the bed railing within easy reach told her that she had come back to life.
It was Dongfang Yerong who saved her.
Anji walked in carrying the medicine. "Miss, please drink your medicine!"
Li Baobei held the herbal soup, feeling the warmth emanating from the bowl. Whether it was living or dying, both seemed so difficult.
The bitter taste spread in her mouth, and she felt her stomach churning. A fishy-sweet feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
Seeing Li Baobei's brows furrowing, Anji quickly took the medicine bowl from her hands.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Anji knelt down to help her catch her breath, as Li Baobei could no longer bear the nausea in her stomach.
She suddenly vomited, unsure whether it was the medicine she had drunk or fresh blood.
Suddenly, my whole body started to feel cold again, and I couldn't stop trembling.
Anji looked at the bloodstains on the floor and bed, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Li Baobei began to sob weakly, tears streaming down her empty eyes. She whimpered in anguish, "Dark Silence, I'm in so much pain, my whole body hurts so much, I can't go on, please don't save me, please..."
Anji sat on the edge of the bed, holding Li Baobei tightly in her arms. A hint of emotion finally appeared on her usually cold face. She comforted Li Baobei, speaking softly, "Everything will be alright, everything will be alright..."
Anji watched as Li Baobei gradually fell into a quiet sleep and fell into endless silence.
When did she come to regard Li Baobei as her best friend for life?
Why did she feel so distressed seeing her suffer from illness day and night?
In the past few years, everything changed after she was assigned to protect Li Baobei. Her employer treated her very well, and she learned what friends were for the first time.
