The incessant chattering red lips only stopped when the person completely passed out.

"You'd better stay asleep and behave yourself," he said in a low, gentle voice.

The masked leader of the Wuxiang Sect gently placed the girl on the bed with one hand, his gaze lingering on her lips.

It has to be said that her face is indeed very deceptive; you would never think of anything bad happening to her.

It was only the rustling sounds outside that brought them back to reality.

You Xunchun shook his head, muttering seemingly unintentionally, "What a nuisance..."

No matter how troublesome it was, he had already saved the other person with his own hands.

Given this girl's arrogant and overbearing nature, she definitely cannot let him know that the leader of the Wuxiang Sect and You Xunchun are the same person.

Thinking of the foolish thing You Xunchun did in Fuxian Town, if she really found out, she would probably become lawless again.

The person left the room at some point.

It wasn't until Tang Xi burst into Su Ning's room and saw that the other woman was lying on the bed unharmed that she felt relieved.

He then instructed Xiaomei outside the door, "Go to Songbai Courtyard and invite Brother You over."

Upon receiving the order, Xiaomei immediately left the courtyard.

Tangxi sat by the other person's bedside and first checked for any injuries. Only after confirming that the other person had no obvious external injuries did she feel relieved.

The disciples who were patrolling outside just now found Xu Ling'er unconscious, but the other party couldn't explain why.

If it weren't for the obvious pain in the back of her neck, she would have thought she had fainted without warning.

It wasn't until the other party revealed that her companion was Su Ning that Tang Xi was informed of this information.

Su Ning had already explained her relationship with Lin Ci yesterday, so Tang Xi wasn't surprised that she hadn't returned home last night.

Until tonight, a sudden change occurred. Tangxi first went to ask the people of Taihang Temple who lived in Juxian Tower if Lin Ci had returned.

If Su Ning still doesn't appear after the other party returns, she will definitely storm into the other party's courtyard and ask the chief of Taihang Temple a good question.

After all, the person was following him. If the other party returned but Su Ning was nowhere to be found, what kind of trouble had happened?

But he didn't even get to see Lin Ci's face; it was Xuan Yang Daoist who came out to meet her.

The other person seemed displeased. After learning that he had come for Su Ning, his attitude towards her became colder. He only said that the two of them had returned and told her to go and take a good look at Su Ning's room.

Tang Xi had no choice. After all, Xuan Yang Daoist was an elder, and she couldn't just break ties with him directly.

Indeed, after hearing Su Ning's name from Xu Ling'er, she was quite flustered and didn't even have time to go to Su Ning's room to take a look.

After all, although Xu Ling'er was knocked unconscious, she was actually unharmed, with only minor abrasions on her body, as if she had been knocked out and abandoned.

Tangxi hurriedly returned to Hongfeng Garden. Apart from her two maids, Xiaomei and Xiaoqin, she never wanted anyone else to enter Su Ning's room.

That's why the scene just now happened.

Hearing the commotion, the servants working in the Red Maple Garden gathered in groups outside Su Ning's room. They didn't know what had happened, but everyone was very concerned about anything related to Miss Su.

Almost everyone was gathered in twos and threes, but one lone figure stood out.

It was Xiaoxing.

After all, when Xiaoqin personally summoned him to Miss Su's room, the servants in Red Maple Garden were extremely envious.

Men didn't understand, and women understood even less.

How could such an ordinary, unremarkable guy, someone who just arrived and would be easily lost in a crowd, stay in Miss Su's room for so long?

Yu Xinglai didn't care about being ostracized by the servants.

After all, he wasn't really a servant.

But now, looking at Xiaoqin standing outside the door and Tangxi who had gone in and never came out again, he felt a little puzzled.

When did Su Ning return?

His mind was in turmoil.

That little rascal called him to her room yesterday afternoon just so he could disguise her. He then reluctantly became her tool.

He didn't get any benefits, and the other party even wanted to eat the dishes he cooked himself.

Not knowing when she would return, he bribed the cook at Red Maple Garden this morning to personally prepare a ton of dishes for her.

He waited from day to night, until the food got cold, until he ate all the food, and until he fed the rest of the food to the dog, but the other person still didn't come back.

Thinking of this, Yu Xinglai ground his back teeth, glanced resentfully at the tightly closed door, and said, "Fine...you really are something else."

If I ever cook for you again after hanging out with that little Taoist priest for so long, I'll be a dog!

Yu Xinglai decided in his heart that he would not let the other party off easily this time.

Yu Xinglai only lowered his head when Xiao Mei led You Xunchun into the Red Maple Garden.

You Xunchun appeared to be unwell, his face pale, and he hurriedly walked past Yu Xinglai carrying a medicine box.

Only after the other person had walked far away did he raise his head slightly to watch their retreating figure.

He hadn't forgotten that this person had connections with the Demonic Sect.

Although his main purpose in coming to the Sword Forging Manor was to find Su Ning, he would have more confidence if he could find a way to hold You Xunchun accountable for being a member of the Demonic Sect.

Let those two silly boys fight amongst themselves with Tangxi and You Xunchun.

After all, if a member of a demonic sect were to infiltrate among them and become their sworn brother, they would surely cause a great deal of trouble if they were to learn the truth.

He could then take this opportunity to secretly abduct Su Ning.

Unfortunately, both his current status and the fact that the other party rarely leaves their home make this matter extremely difficult.

Inside the room.

Tangxi only came forward after You Xunchun closed the door.

"Brother You, why do you look so pale? Are you still not feeling better?"

Tangxi has been busy with affairs at the mountain villa these days, and has rarely seen even Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian, let alone You Xunchun, who is holed up in his room.

Seeing the concern in the other person's eyes, You Xunchun simply shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just that the weather has been cool lately, and I'm experiencing some discomfort from the change in environment."

Seeing this, Tangxi didn't suspect anything and only brought up what happened tonight: "Brother You, please take a look at Susu."

"She looks like she's been knocked unconscious. I just checked her closely, and there aren't any external injuries, but I'm worried something else might be wrong."

Upon hearing this, You Xunchun calmly put down the medicine box, first comforting Tang Xi, then taking Su Ning's pulse, and finally concluding: "Don't worry, one acupuncture will do the trick."
