The third candy
The guards at Lichun Pavilion were not strict, and Wu Simiao easily bypassed the people guarding the door and climbed over the wall to enter the pavilion.
The leader should have locked Li Fengyi in her room? Wu Simiao thought so, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
Qin Shuyue lived in a side room. When Wu Simiao passed by, he could see her shadow writing at the desk by the window.
Wu Si Miao slipped away quietly and came to her room. The door and windows of her room were closed, but there was a candlelight inside. But there was no figure by the window. Wu Si Miao didn't know where Li Fengyi was in the room. Obviously, climbing through the bedroom window would be the easiest, but Wu Si Miao blinked and finally chose to enter through the side room.
Wu Simiao's footsteps were very light. She closed the window and walked towards the main room. Following the candlelight, she saw Li Fengyi sitting at the table writing.
Li Fengyi, who had lowered her eyes, realized something. She raised her head and met Wu Simiao's gaze. When their eyes met, they subconsciously slowed down their breathing, as if they had met again after a long separation.
Seeing that Li Fengyi had discovered her, Wu Simiao frowned and observed Li Fengyi carefully.
After confirming that Li Fengyi's breathing was steady and her complexion was rosy, and that her expression was only surprised, she knew she was being treated well. However, Wu Simiao sensed something when she heard Li Fengyi's breathing. She walked over to Li Fengyi and easily grasped her wrist. Sure enough...
The poison in Li Fengyi's body was detoxified by 80% to 90%, but most of her internal energy was sealed. The remaining energy was probably only enough for Li Fengyi to use to detoxify herself. No wonder the guards here were so lax; it turned out they weren't afraid of her escaping.
But fortunately, her life is safe.
"I asked Doctor Qin to seal my internal energy." Knowing what Wu Simiao was going to ask, Li Fengyi took the initiative to answer, "Since they are all in the Jiashi Sect, I might as well let them feel more at ease."
Just like Wu Si Miao observed Li Fengyi after entering the room, Li Fengyi also looked at her carefully after seeing Wu Si Miao, "What about you? How are you?"
"Me? I'm fine. I was just locked up by my master, who kept watching me copy the sect rules. So today I found an opportunity to escape." Wu Simiao said half-truthfully.
Without letting Li Fengyi ask more about his affairs, Wu Simiao said, "What do you think of living here? You know, this is my territory."
"Yes, Doctor Qin said so on the first day he locked me up."
"They locked you up, but they didn't hide anything from you." Wu Simiao said with a pout.
"So, I know everything." Including how you brought me into the cold pond and used your inner energy to heal my wounds, how your actions violated the sect's rules and were punished by the leader, and how you were bitten by the poisonous insect and unconscious for a whole day and night...
Li Fengyi didn't finish her words, but Wu Simiao easily understood her unspoken meaning. Wu Simiao was silent for a moment. She paused and said, "You know, the Demon Cult has always been wary of you, the Central Plains martial arts world. My master only punished me for show, she couldn't bear to..."
"It hurts a lot."
“…”
Wu Si Miao had never lacked care or love since she was a child. But now, just like when her martial arts master would hold her hand and apply medicine after her childhood martial arts training, and Wu Si Miao would reveal her weakness and take the opportunity to act like a spoiled child and whine, seeing Li Fengyi's frown on her face, seeing the heartache in her eyes, the pain that had clearly passed suddenly surged in Wu Si Miao's heart again.
Wu Simiao couldn't control this sudden emotion, and her eyes turned red.
It was so embarrassing. Wu Simiao blinked, trying to get rid of the water in her eyes. She raised her hand to smooth Li Fengyi's frown. When her fingers touched Li Fengyi's skin, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Wu Simiao didn't know why she raised her hand rashly. She didn't want to see Li Fengyi frown, but it was a bit too inappropriate to smooth out his brows herself... But Wu Simiao always did what she wanted, and did it even though she knew it was wrong. After her fingertips left Li Fengyi's brows, they moved down. She held Li Fengyi's hand and let the other's palm touch the side of her face.
"Okay, don't be sad. Am I not fine now? My master won't punish me anymore. Our top priority now is to completely get rid of the Yin Chaofeng in you." As he said that, Wu Simiao took the initiative to rub Li Fengyi's palm.
Li Fengyi had almost never had such close contact with anyone, not even with her master. Sect Leader Jing was always serious and said what he meant, and he had no tenderness. When he spoke in a softer tone, it showed his concern.
Wu Simiao was clearly trying to comfort herself. She knew that the leader of the Jiashi Sect was her master and wouldn't be cruel to her. However, Li Fengyi felt even more pity for her. The warmth of Wu Simiao's body was in her palm. Li Fengyi gently stroked the skin under Wu Simiao's eyes with her fingers. She looked into Wu Simiao's eyes and said, "At the end of the martial arts conference, I saw the silver needle that the young leader fired with a hidden weapon. I deliberately bumped into that silver needle."
Wu Simiao was stunned.
Li Fengyi continued, "But I didn't know it was poisonous. I only did that to lose the competition so I could break off my engagement with the Young Alliance Leader. I didn't expect you to bring me back to the Demon Cult to detoxify me, and it almost cost you your life."
Wu Simiao listened carefully to every word Li Fengyi said.
"I have no feelings for the Young Alliance Leader, and he's not a good match. I went to the martial arts conference this time just for this matter. I originally planned to just take advantage of the loss to propose, but unexpectedly... this also makes my cancellation of the engagement more legitimate."
"Then if you hadn't met me this time... would you have..." Wu Simiao didn't finish her words. It was obviously something that didn't happen, but she subconsciously avoided it.
Li Fengyi was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I don't know."
"I won't forgive them." Wu Simiao's expression was cold and there was murderous intent in his tone.
"Wu Simiao, you can't. It's enough that you intimidated everyone in the Wulin Alliance to take me away. The Jiashi Sect and the Central Plains Wulin have lived in peace for many years, why bother to start another dispute?" Li Fengyi pinched Wu Simiao's hand and said.
"I just think the deterrence is not enough." Wu Simiao was stuck in a dead end. When he thought of Li Fengyi being injured and weak in front of him, with his life or death in danger, Wu Simiao felt angry and afraid.
"What's more, don't I know those so-called famous and upright sects? Even if you are also a decent person, the one who hurt you was their young leader. Can those heroes be willing to let the young leader suffer the pain of Yin Chaofeng?" Wu Simiao became more and more angry as he spoke, and he wanted to rush to Xiuxi Villa immediately to pull the young leader out.
Knowing that all of Wu Simiao's anger was for her, Li Fengyi's heart was warmed. She shook her head and said helplessly, "A Miao. I can't watch you completely disregard your own safety and life for me."
"What did you call me?"
Li Fengyi realized the intimacy of calling Wu Simiao's name, and her cheeks turned red. She avoided Wu Simiao's gaze for a moment.
Wu Simiao didn't care about whether there were more or fewer alliance leaders. She smiled and moved closer to Li Fengyi, deliberately lengthening the ending of her words, "Fengyi, what did you call me just now? Say it again."
"Ah Miao."
Wu Simiao's originally somewhat irritated mood was calmed down by Li Fengyi's words "Ah Miao".
"I really should let my master hear what you just said. You are worried about my safety, but you don't want to cause any more disputes between the two sides. She even thinks you are using a torture method." Wu Simiao frowned as he spoke.
Li Fengyi felt incredibly relieved to hear Wu Simiao's trust in her, but she also knew that the leader had been in charge of the Jiashi Sect for many years, so his caution was justified. "Actually, the leader's concerns are correct. Aren't you afraid that I've deliberately poisoned myself to find out the secrets of the Jiashi Sect's formations and its confidentiality? Aren't you afraid that if you cure me, I'll tell anyone about this?"
"You've been poisoned by Yin Chaofeng. If you were to resort to this self-torture tactic, the cost would be too high. Besides, I've known you for a while. I know I wouldn't be wrong about you, and I also know you wouldn't resort to such conspiracies and tricks. Besides..." Wu Simiao said, pulling Li Fengyi's hand and pinching her fingertips, "If you dare to say that, I'll poison you with love."
Li Fengyi didn't resist and let Wu Simiao do what she wanted. She turned her gaze from her hands to Wu Simiao's eyes and asked knowingly, "Why is it a love poison?"
"Guess."

The secret guard returned to Chaoyang Palace with what she had heard outside Lichun Pavilion. The leader remained silent as he listened to the secret guard's retelling, his expression unclear.
The left protector was playing chess with the leader, and the more he listened to the secret guard's words, the more frightened he became.
Until the last syllable of the secret guard fell, the leader threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box, no longer wanting to play chess, and waved his hand to let the secret guard go.
At this time, there was a slight noise coming from the window of the side hall of Chaoyang Palace. The maid guarding the door of the side hall came to report after half a cup of tea, "Master, the Saint has been reading all night and has just rested. We don't need to wait on her."
"knew."
The left protector didn't dare to say anything and quietly packed up the chess pieces.
The leader had a blank expression on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.
In the next few days, Wu Simiao seemed to be obedient and copied the sect rules beside the leader, but after copying for a while, she would come to the leader and beg him to reduce the number of times, but the leader ignored her. At night, Wu Simiao pretended to be studying hard, sent the maid away, and quietly ran to Li Chun Pavilion.
It seems like they are having a secret meeting without being seen!
At the beginning, the leader would send secret guards out. She was still worried that Wu Simiao would be deceived by Li Fengyi, but every time the secret guards brought back sweet words, they were of no value except making the leader angrier and angrier.
So the leader was too lazy to send out any more secret guards.
In this way, time passed day by day, and all the evil spirits in Li Fengyi's body were expelled, and she completely recovered.
Li Fengyi has been in the Jiashimi sect for more than half a month. Although she was under guard, now that the poison in her body has healed, it is reasonable for her to pay a visit to the leader of the Jiashimi sect.
What's more, the leader is Wu Simiao's master.
So Li Fengyi expressed her thoughts when Qin Shuyue came to take her pulse. Qin Shuyue was not surprised. After confirming that Li Fengyi was in good health, she led her to the leader's Chaoyang Hall.
When Li Fengyi came to pay homage to the leader, Wu Simiao was still copying beside her.
In fact, the hundred recitations of the sect rules imposed by the leader were just a large number. The sect rules together were less than a thousand words. If Wu Simiao hadn't been so slow and run around, he would have finished writing them long ago.
After hearing the message from his subordinates, the leader gave Wu Simiao a sidelong look, but only asked her to pack up her things and stand beside him, without sending her into the inner room.
Li Fengyi quickly entered the hall, dressed in a simple white dress, her hair tied up in a half-bun with a wooden hairpin. A jade pendant hung from her waist. The leader immediately recognized it as the one Wu Simiao had found when she first left the sect at the age of fifteen. She had cherished it so much that she had hidden it in a wooden box and locked it away, never wearing it out easily. Now it could be given away.
"Master." Li Fengyi clasped his hands together and said to the Master.
"Have you recovered, fairy?" the leader asked in a cold tone. Wu Simiao beside her winked at Li Fengyi.
"Thank you for your concern, Master, and for arranging for Dr. Qin to treat me. I'm sorry for bothering you during this period of time." Li Fengyi said politely.
"It's not really a bother, but I'm afraid the fairy is annoyed by being disturbed recently." The leader said, looking at Wu Simiao meaningfully.
Wu Simiao was stunned when she heard the leader's words, but she was not afraid at all. She even leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me you knew earlier? Then I wouldn't have to hide it."
"I've spoiled you." The leader sneered.
After hearing the conversation between Wu Simiao and the leader, Li Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Wu Simiao, "I have to thank Simiao for letting me rest in the room."
"Now that the fairy has recovered from her serious injury, what are your plans for the future?" The leader asked directly without beating around the bush.
After hearing what the leader said, Wu Simiao's expression became serious, fearing that if Li Fengyi gave a wrong answer, the leader would take action immediately.
The leader felt Wu Simiao's tense expression and body movements, and felt that her disciple was becoming less and less motivated.
Li Fengyi's expression was calm. "I've been traveling around the martial arts world since my early years, but I've never been to the Jiashi Sect. Now I've seen a lot of the world. If the Sect Leader doesn't mind me bothering you, could you let Si Miao take me around the sect?"
"You are quite brave." The leader narrowed his eyes.
"If the leader is worried, Feng Yi can be locked up in the confinement room for once."
"Are you serious?"
"nature."
"Master!" Wu Simiao didn't know how these two people were sent to the confinement room for punishment. The poison in Li Fengyi's body had just been cured, and her internal strength was still sealed. The leader would not show mercy to her. If she went to the confinement room, she would be in great danger.
The leader did not lock Li Fengyi in the confinement room after all, and agreed to let Wu Simiao take her around the sect.
No one else in the sect knew Li Fengyi's identity, and Li Fengyi had no intention of spreading it. Wu Simiao would not go around saying that the people she led were fairies of the righteous path.
The two of them arrived at the back of the mountain, where a pavilion stood halfway up the mountain. As they approached, they could already hear the sound of gurgling water. As they approached, they could see a waterfall cascading down from the opposite side. The mountain was steep, but the cliffs were covered with dense trees, lush and vibrant.
Li Fengyi and Wu Simiao sat in the pavilion. Li Fengyi sniffed the refreshing mountain breeze and turned his head to look at Wu Simiao. "Ah Miao, I have to go back to Yunsheng Sword Sect in a couple of days to deal with some things."
"Then will you come back?" Wu Simiao asked.
"I thought you would say you would go with me." Li Fengyi said with a smile.
"I..." Wu Simiao hesitated for a moment as she looked at Li Fengyi. Of course she wanted to go with Li Fengyi, but she still remembered the vengeance between the Young Alliance Leader and the Lady Xiao from the Huanhua Sect. It just so happened that Li Fengyi was returning to the sect, so she could go and take revenge, without hindering anyone.
Li Fengyi immediately saw what Wu Simiao was thinking, and she said, "Come back with me."
"Okay." Wu Simiao pursed her lips and said, thinking that Li Fengyi wanted her to repay evil with kindness.
"I have already formally met your master. Don't you want to go back with me and formally meet my master as well?"
Li Fengyi's implication was obvious. Wu Simiao realized something and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Of course I do! What kind of apology should I prepare for kidnapping Master Jing's gifted first disciple?"
Wu Simiao moved closer to Li Fengyi as he spoke, and the two of them clasped their hands together with their fingers hidden under their sleeves.
