"Oh, right, where's that old man?"
Xu Shixun also found it strange.
"What Elder Dong? I arrived before dawn. When I came in, you were all sound asleep, so I didn't disturb you. I didn't even see Elder Dong."
As Xu Yiran spoke, the gentle light in her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Maybe he's gone."
After a while, Xie Lingqin raised her hand to touch her brow. When Xu Yiran hugged her just now, she didn't feel that warm and affectionate feeling.
Could it be Elder Dong?
That's hilarious.
She must be mistaken.
How did you find this place?
Xie Lingqin looked at Xu Yiran. She and Xu Shixun had been trapped here for so many days, and she knew that getting down and getting out would be extremely difficult.
“Someone left marks along the way.” Xu Yiran’s clear eyes flickered slightly as she spoke, and she sighed, “Perhaps it was the old man Dong you mentioned.”
"Ah, Sister Lingqin, I have a piece of paper in my arms."
Xu Shixun suddenly shouted.
Xie Lingqin glanced at him and said, "Let me take a look."
Xu Shixun immediately wanted to hand it over, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of the danger. "Wait, let me take a look. If I'm okay after I look at it, then you can take a look, Sister Lingqin."
Xie Lingqin had no choice but to not stop it.
Xu Yiran, who was standing to the side, did not stop them.
This piece of paper doesn't need to be examined closely; it's obviously simple and there's no trickery involved.
Xu Yiran's attention was only on Xie Lingqin from beginning to end.
The moment he embraced her just now was the happiest moment he had experienced in many days, but she was too thin.
Moreover, this face... compared to before...
"I don't know either. After falling off the cliff with Xu Shixun that day, my internal injuries were greater than my external injuries. I also had a cough and felt weak all over. But after waking up one day, I felt that my internal energy was abnormal. A light energy enveloped me, and that's how I ended up when I was dealing with Li Qingyu and Yuwen Qingyue."
Xie Lingqin pointed to her face, "I can't see it, but my mind is clear, my body is functioning smoothly, and I feel very comfortable."
"You just said that you encountered Li Qingyu and Yuwen Qingyue?"
“Yes, but they’re dead.” Xu Shixun walked over in a few steps, looking gleeful as he spoke. “They were too wicked, and they got their comeuppance. They were devoured by those blood wolves.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiran was taken aback. After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the tension in her heart finally ease. Looking at Xie Lingqin with lingering fear, she said, "Thank goodness you're alright."
"Yes, it's so nice to hear your voice."
Xie Lingqin said softly, then took the paper that Xu Shixun handed her.
It was a prescription. Xie Lingqin stared at the prescription, unable to look away for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yiran also looked over.
Xie Lingqin snapped out of her reverie and looked at Xu Yiran. "It's nothing. It's just a prescription. Yesterday, Elder Dong helped me with acupuncture and bloodletting. I suppose this prescription was left by him. It can cure coughs."
Xie Lingqin gently folded the prescription and spoke these words seemingly without emotion, but inwardly she was secretly mocking herself.
For a fleeting moment, she actually felt...
However, this is not his handwriting.
The pen was held with a slight tremor, and the strokes were extended; it was clearly the handwriting of an elderly person like Mr. Dong.
Xu Yiran looked at Xie Lingqin and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before, even though she had finally found her.
As dawn broke, the snow-covered ground seemed to faintly glow with sunlight.
Not far after Xu Guairan, Xie Lingqin, and Xu Shixun walked out of the cave, a large group of people appeared in front of them.
"Xie Lingqin."
Nan Fenghuang was the first to rush over.
"You're not dead, you..."
Nan Fenghuang looked at Xie Lingmei, at her face, and fell silent for a moment. Then, she raised her voice several decibels and said, "You really survived a great calamity and are blessed with good fortune. You've even become more beautiful."
"I've always been pretty."
Xie Lingqin looked at her with utmost seriousness.
Nanfeng...
"Can't you be a little more humble?"
Xie Lingqin shook her head, "No, you said it yourself, I survived a great calamity, so shouldn't I live a different life?"
How do you want to live?
Xie Lingqin smiled without saying a word, but it sent a chill down one's spine.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a sword was placed against Xu Shixun's neck, catching everyone off guard.
