Chapter 570 Learning the Truth
Xu Ruoyun hadn't expected her to be so enthusiastic, and gave an awkward laugh, saying, "No need, so much time has passed, they must have run away long ago, chasing them would be pointless."
Wen Luoyun nodded: "That's true. Sigh, there are so many outsiders around now. You're a girl traveling alone, you have to take good care of yourself. Oh, by the way, is this your phone number?"
When Xu Ruoyun saw her take out her phone, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her gaze became wary again: "Yes, how come it..."
“This fell out of your bag,” Wen Luoyun said naturally, handing it to her. “I saw that it was wet inside, so I took the liberty of drying it for you. Sister Xu, you won’t be angry with me, will you?”
When she asked this, Xu Ruoyun felt uneasy, but she smiled and replied, "How could that be? I was just worried that my phone would break and I wouldn't know how to contact my family."
Xu Ruoyun took the phone, pressed the power button, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the phone could still be turned on.
"How is it? Is it still usable?" Wen Luoyun asked, feigning concern.
"It works, thank you, Xiaorou."
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "Sister Xu, don't be shy. You must be hungry. I made some porridge for dinner. Eat some later to help you regain your strength."
"That's too much trouble for you," Xu Ruoyun said gratefully.
Wen Luoyun smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just helping people out."
She turned to leave, but a slightly probing voice suddenly came from behind her: "By the way, Little Rou, why are you wearing a veil in your own house?"
"I have a scar on my face, I'm afraid it will frighten Sister Xu." Wen Luoyun turned to the side and lifted a corner of her veil, revealing a hideous scar on her face.
She lifted it just right, without revealing her entire face.
Seeing this, Xu Ruoyun's suspicions lessened slightly, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Xiaorou, I was being presumptuous."
"It's alright, is there anything else you'd like to ask, Sister Xu?"
Xu Ruoyun hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your accent sounds very familiar to me, could you also be from Kyoto?"
Wen Luoyun paused, then smiled and explained, "My mother is from Kyoto, and I learned my Kyoto dialect from her."
She gave a shy smile and said, "My parents passed away early, and I've never been to Kyoto before."
"Oh, is that so?" Xu Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "Actually, Kyoto isn't that great, little Rou. Once I've recovered, I'll take you to Kyoto for fun."
"There are some scar removal products sold in Kyoto that work very well. I'll send you a few bottles. You're still young, so keep using them and you'll see results."
"Really? That's wonderful! I knew good deeds would be rewarded! If Sister Xu can heal the wound on my face, you'll be my great benefactor!" Wen Luoyun said innocently.
Her appearance made Xu Ruoyun completely relax her guard, and she finally showed a serious smile: "I wouldn't dare say that. It's fate that we met. You saved me, so it's only right that I help you."
"Okay, I'll go prepare dinner now. You get some rest, Sister Xu!"
Xu Ruoyun was indeed tired after talking so much, so she nodded to Wen Luoyun and lay back down on the bed.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, Wen Luoyun's feigned smile vanished without a trace.
She didn't go to the kitchen, but instead went into her room.
There was a mirror hanging above her bed in her room. She took off her veil and looked at the person in the mirror.
This scar is all thanks to Kong Wange.
One day, she will make everyone who harmed her pay the price!
Thinking of what Xu Ruoyun had just said, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.
On the surface, the woman was grateful and helped deliver the medicine, but in reality, she was wary and distrustful of her.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and didn't let the other party discover her identity.
She took a deep breath, turned around and went to the kitchen. When she returned with a bowl of porridge, she thought Xu Ruoyun was already asleep, but she was surprised to find that she was on the phone.
Hearing her call the other person "Master Zhi," Wen Luoyun paused, her hand that was about to knock on the door still.
She didn't move again, but instead, as if possessed, pressed herself against the crack in the door and listened intently to the sounds inside.
Xu Ruoyun was so focused on her phone call that she didn't notice the two extra ears outside the door.
Her mind was completely on the person on the other end of the phone, and her tone unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness and sweetness: "Master, have you found out who intercepted me on the road this time? I was really lucky this time. If it weren't for being saved by a barefoot doctor in the village, you would never have seen me again."
The other person said something that earned Xu Ruoyun's dissatisfaction: "Could it be that Master Zhi is only worried that I can't continue to treat your illness, and that he doesn't care about me at all?"
Tang Zhi seemed to patiently say some comforting words, which finally made Xu Ruoyun smile, and then they continued to chat about other things.
Outside the door, Wen Luoyun got goosebumps from Xu Ruoyun's commotion.
Seeing that the two were just exchanging flirtatious words, she had no interest in listening to other people's gossip. Just as she was about to push the door open, she suddenly heard Xu Ruoyun change the subject: "By the way, Master Zhi, I heard that you got the Wen family's jade pendant. Qianliu is indeed your capable assistant. After infiltrating the Wen family for many years, he finally found out the whereabouts of the blood jade. It was worth waiting for so many years. Congratulations."
The person opposite her said something, and Xu Ruoyun smiled and said, "The Blood Phoenix Jade Eye of the Wen family is the most important and crucial part. Now, you have obtained three of the five jade pendants from the An, Tang, Wen, Su, and Qin families. Once you get the two jade pendants from the Su and Qin families, you can open the secret door. It is said that there are countless spiritual medicines inside the secret door, which will surely cure the strange disease that has plagued you for decades. At that time, you will no longer need me to search for medicine for you everywhere."
Tang Zhi said a couple more words, which earned him another complaint from Xu Ruoyun: "How could I be unwilling? I just hope that you will no longer suffer from that strange illness and can recover soon!"
The two of them continued their conversation, but Wen Luoyun outside the door couldn't hear it. Her mind was buzzing, filled with the words Xu Ruoyun and Tang Zhi had just spoken.
Blood Phoenix Jade Pendant, Jade Eye, Strange Illness, Thousand Streams Undercover Agent...
It took her a while to piece together what they had said in her mind and understand its meaning.
So... the jade pendant that the Wen family lost ended up in Tang Zhi's hands?
He suffers from a strange illness that Xu Ruoyun cannot cure. The only way to cure it is to collect five jade pendants. These five jade pendants may be a kind of key, and the Wen family's jade pendant is called the Jade Eye, which is the most important of the five jade pendants.
She suddenly thought of Wen Zhengning, who lay in a pool of blood and was eventually covered with a white sheet and carried away.
My blood is flowing backwards.
A bold guess formed in her mind, and the next moment, the words spoken in the room confirmed her guess.
Xu Ruoyun, gripping the phone, spoke somewhat reluctantly: "Have Qianliu pick me up? He just dealt with Wen Zhengning. Didn't you want him to stay out of the public eye?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Luoyun outside the door could no longer contain herself.
Her hand holding the porridge almost instantly lost its strength, and with a thud, the bowl fell to the ground.
