He couldn't understand why Su Ruanruan would say such a thing, but he knew that Su Ruanruan would definitely make a name for herself on the day of the competition.
Time flies, and the day for the competition has arrived in the blink of an eye.
That day, the guests were unusually noisy, the venue was packed, and the atmosphere was bustling. Just as Huo Yan had predicted, Su Ruanruan stunned everyone with her rendition of "Weak Water Three Thousand" after taking the stage.
With her deeply emotional voice and nuanced portrayal of love, she perfectly captured the song's themes of pain and unwavering devotion, while also conveying reflections and insights into life. Everyone present was captivated, mesmerized by the beautiful singing, and remained entranced for a long time.
Then, she and the musicians perfectly coordinated their performance of "Bu Gua," the music flowing like water. Su Ruanruan gracefully danced, her slender waist moving with agility, a gentle smile on her face, like a fairy descending to earth, astonishing everyone present. (Brief description of the competition process)
That very evening, a large sum of silver was delivered to her residence. Su Ruanruan slightly lifted her eyelids and roughly estimated that the silver was enough to open her spatial ability.
"Master, Miss Baiyun has also received her money. She originally wanted to come and thank you in person, but I told her that you've had a hard day and she wouldn't see anyone," Ziwu reported.
Su Ruanruan gently stroked her soft, white leg, secretly relieved. Her leg injury had improved considerably over the past few months, and the recovery was quite good.
When she heard Ziwu say that, she couldn't help but imagine Baiyun's greedy appearance, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"You must have gained a lot too, right?" Su Ruanruan asked curiously.
Zi Wu gave Su Ruanruan a sweet smile and said gratefully, "Hehe, it's all thanks to you, Master."
As night fell, Su Ruanruan put all the silver she had won into her spatial storage.
I saw a beautiful, colorful butterfly tattoo appear on the back of my hand.
She focused her mind and entered the space with her thoughts. Looking at everything familiar before her, an indescribable sense of sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart.
Recalling her past life, she was tormented by the unfortunate experiences of her childhood, the continuous heavy blows, and the many separations and deaths she witnessed while practicing medicine. Ultimately, she developed a serious mental illness.
Later, she decided to leave this heartbreaking place and go to a sanatorium in Country E to recuperate.
However, despite all this, the deep pain in her heart remained unresolved, and she had no love for life whatsoever. The sky in her eyes was always gray and gloomy, without a trace of light.
In the end, she still...
Su Ruanruan stared intently at the tightly closed door in front of her, took a deep breath, and finally gently pushed the door open.
The room was dimly lit. On the brown sofa, a woman with long black hair lay quietly, as if asleep. However, the bloodstains on her wrists and the floor beneath her were particularly glaring, a stark reminder that something ominous had happened here.
Su Ruanruan slowly approached the sofa, carefully reached out, and gently brushed away the strands of hair from the woman's forehead.
It was a face exactly like mine now! The face was deathly pale, and the broken appearance was heartbreaking.
Su Ruanruan quickly withdrew her hand, a strong sense of oppression welling up in her heart. She dared not look any longer and hurriedly turned and left the room.
Recalling the days of being tormented by the Gu worms, those unforgettable painful memories surged into my mind like a tide.
Su Ruanruan had truly had enough of that heart-wrenching pain and longed to escape it all.
So, she and her robotic doctor assistant worked together, using advanced medical equipment, to carefully search for and pinpoint the exact location of the Gu worms inside her body. After careful preparation, they finally managed to completely remove the Gu worms through a minor surgery.
...
The day he had agreed upon with Xiaoyu finally arrived, but Xiaoyu never showed up.
In the warm spring of March, the grass grows and the orioles sing, a scene full of vitality. The imperial examinations are about to begin, and students from all over the country flock to the capital like a tide, hoping to pass the examinations with flying colors and bring glory to their families.
Knowing that her master was thinking of Mu Bai, Zi Wu secretly sent people to various inns to search for his whereabouts, but there was no news of him.
However, these things did not escape Su Ruanruan's notice. In truth, she knew better than anyone that there was no longer any possibility between them. Yet, she still couldn't help but think of him and wonder how he was doing now.
Ziwu did not find out Mu Bai's whereabouts, but instead learned that Mu Bai's classmate and friend Fang Ru had come to the capital and was staying temporarily in a rather simple inn.
Not only Su Ruanruan, but Bai Yun also asked around to inquire about Mu Bai's situation, but unfortunately the result was exactly the same as that of Zi Wu.
With about a week to go before the exam, Su Ruanruan went to the inn where Fang Ru was staying. The inn was crowded and the environment was simple, not a place for a scholar to prepare for the exam in peace.
She found Fang Ru a superior inn, which only accepted students preparing for the imperial examinations and had a quiet environment perfect for studying.
They paid his room fee and gave him some money for his daily expenses.
She knew that Fang Ru's family was poor, and that they had probably sold everything they owned to support his trip to the capital.
He was Mu Bai's best friend and had helped him a lot. Today's action was just her returning the favor.
But the scholar was stubborn and valued the integrity of a scholar. He insisted on giving her an IOU. Unable to persuade him otherwise, Su Ruanruan could only leave with the IOU he wrote.
Once she left the inn, she tore up the paper.
He's just like Mu Bai, always chasing after people to write IOUs. No wonder they've been good friends for so many years.
Q_Q I said I'd keep it under 500,000 words, but it looks like it might go a little over, but not by much. It's nearing the end, around chapter eight or nine.
