A slender silver needle was inserted into the girl's acupoints. You Xunchun's hand was steady, but Tangxi turned her head away guiltily.

Su Su is afraid of pain. Although she is dizzy now, if she wakes up and finds out that she has been pricked with needles, she will definitely cause trouble for someone.

Until a soft moan escaped her lips, the girl on the bed slowly awoke.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a doctor with a serious expression. Seeing that she was awake, he softly asked, "Is anything bothering you?"

Su Ning watched helplessly as the culprit who had knocked her unconscious pretended to be blind. She sneered inwardly, thinking how shameless this guy was.

He had just knocked her unconscious when he pretended to be a doctor and came to take her pulse.

"He really knows how to have fun," Su Ning thought to herself, giving him a mental pat on the back.

Being knocked unconscious by Xue Shazi was an act, but Su Ning dared not pretend when facing the sect leader of Wuxiang Sect, since she had only unlocked the first level of her Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns.

When facing such a cunning old fox, it's best to keep some cards up your sleeve.

Su Ning simply shook her head in response to You Xunchun's question.

Seeing that Su Ning had woken up, Tang Xi, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward and asked with concern, "Su Su, aren't you...?"

She wanted to ask what had happened that day, but as soon as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that there was someone else in the room.

She focused her gaze on You Xunchun, the doctor in the green robe who was calmly organizing his medicine box, his movements fluid and effortless, revealing no sharpness whatsoever.

The doctor, seemingly sensing Tang Xi's hesitation, tactfully said he had to leave: "Young friend Su, it's nothing serious, just that you've been preoccupied lately. I'll go back and write a few prescriptions and have someone deliver them over. You can just get the medicine according to the prescriptions."

He gave Tang Xi some instructions, but Su Ning, who had just woken up, was unhappy. Who was he subtly mocking?

She's said to be calculating, but she hasn't even scolded him yet.

So he struggled to his feet and joined their conversation, his voice still a little hoarse from just waking up, "Thank you so much, Brother You, for making this trip for me today, but I know my own body best."

"I won't trouble Brother You to prescribe the medicine for me."

Upon hearing this, You Xunchun was not angry. Instead, he chuckled softly. His laughter was clear and melodious, like jade striking jade, as if he were laughing because the girl in front of him was reluctant to take her medicine.

He then turned his head and gave her a meaningful look, "Young friend Su, refusing to seek medical help is a major taboo in medicine."

However, Tangxi, upon hearing this, also felt that You Xunchun's words made sense, and even retorted, "Yes, Susu, Brother You is just concerned about your health."

Su Ning didn't even bother to talk about that cunning old fox.

He simply pulled the quilt over his head, his voice muffled, "Since I'm fine, Brother You, you should go back and rest."

Tangxi and You Xunchun exchanged a glance. The doctor in the green robe didn't seem to have any particular emotion, but Tangxi was a little confused.

Did Su Su and Brother You have a fight?

She's been so busy these days, it seems she'll have to ask Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian another day.

Only after the man walked slowly out of the room did Tang Xi sit down beside Su Ning's bed. Looking at the bulge on the bed, Tang Xi reached out and pulled back the blanket. "What happened today?"

"Why do I feel like there's something off between you and Brother You?"

The quilt was pulled off, revealing a section of a fair arm as white as a scallion. The girl's hair was disheveled, her long eyelashes trembled in panic, and the tip of her nose was slightly upturned, as if she was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

No, you're mistaken.

Brother You is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for him, so why is she angry with him?

Seeing that Su Ning was just a little awkward, Tang Xi didn't think much of it and quickly asked what had happened today.

Su Ning only picked out the key points and altered the facts slightly.

"On the way back, I met Miss Xu. She said she saw the servants of the Sword Casting Manor digging for medicinal herbs on the mountain. Since she was on her way back, I walked with her for a while."

"Then he was knocked unconscious."

"As for why I was in bed... perhaps it was because that young Taoist priest Lin carried me back."

Thinking of this, a rare blush rose to the girl's face, and she couldn't help but tug at the blanket with her fingertips, showing a hint of first love.

Upon seeing this, Tangxi felt a sudden alarm bell ring in her mind.

She quickly and earnestly advised, "Susu, you're still young. Don't rush into those things. Don't let a man's small favors sway your heart."

"I just went to Juxianlou, but I didn't even get to see Lin Ci. Regardless of how he treats you, you might as well broaden your horizons. The martial arts tournament is being held now, and all the young talents in the martial arts world are gathered together."

"You should sit on the stage for a few days first, observe more performances, and your mind will become clearer."

Seeing Tang Xi's appearance, Su Ning couldn't help but find it amusing.

The fact that the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect saved her seems like a fantasy, and Su Ning couldn't say it outright, so she could only attribute it to the little Taoist priest.

From the moment Lin Ci returned with Xuan Yang Daoist, it will likely be extremely difficult for them to meet again.

Xuan Yang Daoist would definitely keep a close watch on her, and naturally he would not allow Tang Xi to see Lin Ci.

Therefore, her lie could not be exposed.

As for You Xunchun, he was certain that Su Ning would not tell Tang Xi that it was the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect who saved her tonight.

After all, in his eyes, Su Ning was a woman who was promiscuous and full of scheming.

She kissed him because the identity of the future leader of the Wuxiang Sect might be useful to her, so she would definitely not tell the people of the Sword Forging Manor, who were now his adversaries, about such a powerful pawn.

The reason You Xunchun dared to be exposed was simply because he thought his disguise was flawless, but Su Ning had the system in hand, which happened to detect his identity.

One thing leads to another, and what she had just told Tangxi eventually became the truth of the matter.

In her words just now, she still revealed some issues to the other party.

So how exactly did that group of people disguised as servants of the Sword Forging Manor appear?

Although she failed to uncover the secret between Xue Shazi and the man in black robes, Su Ning wasn't in a hurry. She figured the other party would make their move in the last few days before the event ended, as they wanted to seize the Dragon Sparrow Blade.

If they really did kidnap Su Ning and Xu Ling'er, then the whereabouts of those servants would naturally be impossible to verify.

The problem is that once everyone is rescued, the clues they left behind in their attempt to capture them will eventually be exposed.

Su Ning didn't expect Tang Xi to be able to expose them all based on the tricks the other party had done; she was just giving the other party a heads-up.

After all, that Blood Fiend did indeed have designs on her.

Taking the bait willingly and being caught are two different things, and Su Ning naturally wouldn't let them go.

"Su Su... are you even listening to me?" Tang Xi raised her voice.

Su Ning's thoughts raced, until Tang Xi shook her arm, pulling her back to reality. She blinked, feeling guilty, and asked, "...What did you just say?"

Seeing her dazed look, Tangxi sighed and repeated what she had just said: "I said, things aren't very peaceful on the mountain lately. Don't come down the mountain until the martial arts tournament is over."

Just as Su Ning had expected, Tang Xi had already begun to have some doubts.

She was certain that the demonic sect members who broke into his Tian Shu Pavilion that night had not gone far away. It was just that Songyun Mountain was vast and the vegetation was lush. If the other party was really hiding on the mountain, it was normal that the patrolling disciples could not find them for a while.
