After taking her fifth brother's pulse, Su Ruojin looked at his eyelids and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Fifth Brother was only knocked unconscious by the sleeping powder; he wasn't bitten by a snake.
The three guards who had followed them into Yunquan Manor had also fully regained their senses and hurriedly went to Su Yiting's side, looking somewhat anxious.
"How is the Fifth Young Master?"
Su Ruojin took out a pill and fed it to Fifth Brother, then took out a small bottle and swabbed it under Fifth Brother's nose.
Then Su Yiting woke up while coughing.
"Ugh~" Su Yiting woke up gagging, pointing at the small bottle: "Little sister, what is this? Why does it smell so bad?"
Seeing that Fifth Brother had woken up, Su Ruojin put the cap on the small bottle; she couldn't stand the smell either.
"If it didn't smell, you wouldn't be awake yet."
Su Yiting struggled to stand up, and a guard rushed over to help him up.
"Hey, little sister, what's wrong with us?"
He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he saw himself standing in a dense forest. As he walked, he saw a blue flower as big as a water vat.
Su Yiting walked up to the blue flower, wanting to get a closer look, when he saw the flower suddenly spray white mist at him.
After that, he lost consciousness, and was then woken up by the stench.
Su Ruojin turned her head and looked at Yunquan Manor again, replying, "We've been caught in the Bagua Illusion Array."
Yunquan Manor is very large. If there is such a formation at the entrance, there may be other formations in other parts of the manor as well. She needs to be careful.
"The Eight Trigrams Illusion Array? Could it be that someone can actually create an array using the Eight Trigrams of the I Ching?"
Su Yiting knew nothing about formations; he had only ever seen them in storybooks before.
The battle formations his father and third brother used to fight the enemy were just military formations, completely different from the formation he encountered today.
Su Ruojin nodded: "Yes, we can set up the formation by taking advantage of the timing, location, and some materials, using sight, smell, mechanisms, and hallucinogenic drugs."
Upon hearing this, Su Yiting hurriedly asked the other three, "What did you all see?"
The two guards, one said he saw a wild bear pounce on him, and the other said he saw a tiger charging at him. They both instinctively drew their swords and fought with it.
Another guard said he fell into a cave, the bottom of which was full of poisonous insects such as centipedes, scorpions, and spiders.
He had to keep jumping and dodging the poisonous creatures until he heard the young lady's roar and then he woke up.
Su Yiting only then realized that they had all been infected, and they only woke up thanks to his younger sister.
He turned to look at Su Ruojin with some disbelief: "Little sister, you understand the I Ching and Bagua formations?"
"I know a little bit; my second master taught me some things."
Su Yiting's eyes widened: "Little sister, is there anything else that your fifth brother doesn't know? Just tell your fifth brother everything."
My younger sister is not only a highly skilled female doctor, but now she also understands the I Ching and Bagua formations.
Su Yiting traveled all over the country doing business, and this was the first time he had encountered such a formation. He never expected that his little sister could break it so easily.
Su Yiting subconsciously felt that his younger sister must have many more "surprises" that he didn't know about.
Well, I have to say, Su Yiting is right.
"This isn't the time to talk about these things," Su Ruojin said, glancing around before turning to the others. "You'll all stay with me and don't wander off."
She didn't see any formations in sight, but she couldn't be sure what strange things she might encounter if she went further in.
When Granny Cao saw that the bamboo in the courtyard had fallen and that Su Ruojin and her group were actually unharmed, her expression changed drastically. She carefully concealed herself and hurried towards the manor.
"Young Master Zhu, they've come in," said Granny Cao as she entered a room.
The door opened, and a man in his early twenties, dressed in white, walked out.
"Oh, someone actually managed to break my formation."
