The night wind was like a knife, cutting into Lin Mo's face.

He swallowed another piece of Osmanthus Cake and galloped across the wilderness.

Target: Iron Wall Pass.

The little girl in his arms was wrapped in thick blankets, with only her small face showing, shielding her from the cold night wind.

……

In the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Jiang Zhiwei lay on the bed that had just experienced a "battle," but she was completely unable to fall asleep.

After listening to Lin Mo's half-truthful explanation, and being pinned down on the bed and thoroughly "comforted" by him, she was overwhelmed.

In the end, blushing, she reluctantly let go of the guy who had taken advantage of her.

"Be good at home. I'll come back to you after I've dealt with things at Iron Wall Pass."

Jiang Zhiwei buried her face in the blanket that still smelled of Lin Mo, took a deep breath, and savored the promise Lin Mo made before he left.

It seems this illness hasn't been completely cured yet.

This medicine needs to be taken several more times.

She pulled the blanket up over her head, curled up in the darkness, and muttered something under her breath.

"You have to keep your word..."

……

The night passed quickly.

As the sky began to lighten, Lin Mo's figure finally reappeared outside the gates of Tiebi Pass.

Iron Wall Pass, within Wuzhong Prefecture.

Qin Ruxue had two huge dark circles under her eyes and hadn't slept all night.

She sat at the table, looking at Bai Zhi, who was still unconscious and tied to a chair, with a complicated expression.

This woman's appearance... is just too much of a challenge to the limits of human aesthetics.

How did Lin Mo get involved with a woman like that?

They even kidnapped someone's daughter?

I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it.

Qin Ruxue stepped forward and reached out her finger to check Bai Zhi's breathing, trying to make sure she was still alive and hadn't died from lack of breath.

However, this perfectly normal action of hers startled Bai Zhi, who was in a coma.

Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes and, upon discovering that she was bound hand and foot and that her daughter was still missing, instantly went mad.

A terrifying murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Let me go! Give me back my baby!"

Qin Ruxue was startled by her sudden outburst and was completely bewildered.

"Calm down! Your daughter is fine! My husband took her to see a doctor!"

"Your husband?"

Before Qin Ruxue could finish speaking, Bai Zhi interrupted her.

She stared coldly at Qin Ruxue for a while, then suddenly understood.

"Alright! You guys are in cahoots after all!"

"To treat illness?"

"I don't believe you at all!"

In Bai Zhi's world, Lin Mo and the woman before her are both birds of a feather in the "Ten Thousand Gu Tower".

They will only use more vicious methods to torture Nannan!

"Lin Mo, you beast! You'll die a horrible death!"

Bai Zhi's curses were filled with blood and tears, her voice brimming with deep-seated resentment.

Upon hearing this, the anger that had been building up inside Qin Ruxue all night suddenly surged up.

You can scold your own man, but why should other women have the right?

Although Lin Mo's act of taking someone else's daughter away without saying a word was indeed unethical,

But he was trying to save a life after all.

Besides, I tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen and even cursed her man to die.

Qin Ruxue's stubborn temper was instantly ignited.

She stepped forward and raised her hand.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, resounding slap landed squarely on Bai Zhi's face.

"Watch your mouth!"

Qin Ruxue shook her numb hands, her voice icy cold.

"If you dare to utter another word against my man, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Bai Zhi was stunned by Qin Ruxue's sudden slap, her face burning with pain.

She hadn't expected that the woman in front of her would act so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

However, after a brief period of silence, an even more hysterical outburst ensued.

She burst into wild laughter, a dry and unpleasant sound.

"Hehehe..."

"Go ahead and hit me! Kill me if you dare!"

"You heartless beasts! You all deserve a terrible death! May you be struck by lightning!"

"I curse you all! I curse Lin Mo to be torn to pieces! I curse all of you to die without a burial place!"

The vicious curses, like knives, stabbed deeply into Qin Ruxue's heart.

"You're asking for it!"

Qin Ruxue's anger could no longer be contained.

Clang—

With a clear, melodious sword cry, the Lianhua Sword was drawn from its sheath, its cold blade gleaming with a chilling light.

Qin Ruxue flicked her wrist, and the tip of the sword rested steadily on Bai Zhi's slender neck.

"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?!"

Qin Ruxue roared.

However, Bai Zhi showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she laughed even more maniacally.

She even deliberately extended her neck forward to meet the cold blade.

"Come on! Kill me!"

The cold blade sliced ​​through her delicate skin, and a trickle of blood slid down the blade.

"you!"

Qin Ruxue was so angry at her reckless attitude that her chest heaved violently, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Consumed by rage, she abruptly withdrew the sword she had been pressing against Bai Zhi's neck.

With a flick of her wrist, a sharp "clang" was heard as she plunged the Lianhua sword deep into the bluestone floor tiles.

The sword continued to hum, penetrating the floor tiles an inch or so.

She only wanted to scare the crazy woman and shut her up.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not intimidated at all; instead, he kept pushing his neck toward the sword's edge, as if he was in a hurry to be reborn.

This left her completely at a loss.

I've tried hitting them, I've tried scolding them, and I can't scare them away.

This woman is absolutely insane!

"What a crazy woman!"

Qin Ruxue cursed angrily.

But after she finished cursing, looking at the woman in front of her, she felt a strange sense of frustration.

If her own child had been snatched away and was in an uncertain situation, she would probably have gone even crazier than this woman.

Lin Mo said last night that she was a woman with a tragic fate...

On the other side, when Bai Zhi saw Qin Ruxue put away her sword, the crazy energy that she had been holding onto suddenly dissipated.

She seemed to have all her strength drained away, slumped in the chair, and broke down in sobbing.

"My little girl... my little girl..."

"I don't want to live anymore... Just kill me, please, give me a quick death..."

Qin Ruxue looked at the woman who had been defiant one second and was now crying her eyes out the next, and felt utterly overwhelmed.

I explained it to her, but she didn't believe me.

If you scare her, she'll try to kill herself.

So annoying!

She's terrible at dealing with these kinds of trivial family squabbles and tearful tantrums.

She would rather go outside the city and kill a hundred enemies than waste that time.

"You damned Lin Mo! You stinking Lin Mo! Where the hell have you been?!"

"If you don't come back soon, I'm really going to chop this woman up!"

Qin Ruxue gritted her teeth and cursed silently at the air.

However, at that moment, with a "creak," the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A familiar figure rushed in like a gust of wind, carrying a figure wrapped in a thick blanket.
