After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

Su Ning carried Thirteen and went to Songbai Courtyard with Pei Yunlian.

Yuezi was lively and energetic this morning, how come she got poisoned in less than half a day?

Su Ning asked curiously, "Was it Brother You who made the diagnosis?"

Pei Yunlian continued walking calmly, saying, "No, Brother You isn't in his room. He's been summoned by the Sword Forging Manor's own physician."

Judging from Pei Yunlian's expression and tone, she seemed to be fine, so Su Ning was even more curious about what was wrong with her.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Songbai Courtyard, they saw Tangxi hurrying along, followed by many disciples. It was clear that she had just received the news and rushed over.

Tang Xi was also surprised and hurriedly asked what had happened and whether it was related to the Demonic Sect.

Pei Yunlian frowned and voiced her guess: "Perhaps, after all, it's quite a coincidence that this happened at this critical juncture."

Su Ning, however, seemed to be deep in thought as she listened to their conversation.

As the three walked to the door, they saw a servant carrying a copper basin coming out. The basin was covered with ashes, but the sight still caused the newcomers to have different expressions.

Su Ning, holding the dog, called out to the servant boy in a gentle tone, "Is Zijin alright?"

The servant seemed somewhat flattered, not daring to raise his head, his back bowed very low: "Young Master Yue vomited several times before, and it only gradually stopped after Doctor He came just now."

"But you don't look too well right now, and the room smells unpleasant. If you're going in, you'll have to wait a while."

Tang Xi waved for him to leave, then looked up at Pei Yunlian: "Since it's poisoning, there must be a source. Has he touched anything, eaten anything, or gone anywhere?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yunlian carefully considered the details in her mind: "Since he has already become a disciple, he naturally has to go to Lotus Peak every day, but something seems off after he returns at noon."

"Everyone had the same food for lunch, so it shouldn't be this."

Su Ning added from the side, "We did have a plate of pastries at Red Maple Garden this morning; I wonder if it was because of those pastries."

Upon hearing the name Red Maple Garden, Tang Xi's expression turned serious, and she quickly asked with concern, "Did you eat those pastries?"

Su Ning shook her head, and Tang Xi's expression became even stranger. She then summoned someone, gave them a few instructions, and the person went to carry out the task.

Su Ning was also pondering. The pastries were brought by Yu Xinglai. Although the other party did not look well at the time, it was unlikely that he poisoned Yue Zijin because he held a grudge against him.

Such methods are far too crude and foolish. If he wanted to stay in Red Maple Garden in the future, no matter how angry he was, he would not do such a stupid thing.

In that case, there are many possibilities.

After waiting outside for a while, the locked door was finally opened, and a limping middle-aged man came out, carrying a medicine box, looking shaky.

Tangxi quickly went to greet him, "Uncle He, what's going on inside?"

Sword Forging Manor has many disciples, and naturally, many doctors as well. However, with the martial arts tournament underway, the manor is finding it somewhat inadequate to have enough doctors.

Although the martial arts competitions on the stage these days have only been brief, quite a few people have still been injured during the competitions.

Upon realizing that something was wrong with Yue Zijin, Pei Yunlian immediately knocked on You Xunchun's door, but he wasn't there. So she had to settle for second best and send someone to fetch the manor's doctor.

But all the other doctors had gone out to make house calls, leaving only a few young apprentices and the lame Doctor He.

So we were delayed on the way.

The doctor, whom Tangxi called Uncle He, was limping but had a kind face. He simply reassured her, "Don't worry, Miss, the young hero inside is in stable condition."

Upon hearing this, all three breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Xi helped the other person down the steps and then asked, "Uncle He, do you know why he was poisoned? I'm afraid he's not the only one in this situation."

Although no one else in the villa has been reported to have this condition yet, given the current turbulent times, Tangxi has no choice but to take precautions early.

Su Ning gently pushed open the inner door to check on Yue Zijin's condition, with Pei Yunlian following behind.

Perhaps it was because Dr. He had just opened all the windows, because there wasn't much of a smell in the room.

After passing the screen, one could see Yue Zijin lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper.

Hearing footsteps, he subconsciously looked behind the screen. Upon seeing Su Ning, he was clearly flustered and tried to turn around, but found himself too weak to move.

She could only pull the covers up a little, bury her face in them, and say weakly, "...Su Su, why are you here?"

As soon as Thirteen saw Yue Zijin, it jumped down from Su Ning's arms. Although it had been given to Su Ning, it was Yue Zijin who had picked it up.

Smelling the familiar scent, it waddled over to the other person's bedside, whimpering softly.

Su Ning stepped forward, bent down, and touched the other person's forehead with her jade-like fingertips, which were slightly cool, like the first melting snow water in the mountains.

"Thankfully, there shouldn't be a fever."

Yue Zijin flinched almost imperceptibly. Although he was unwilling to show his current disheveled state to Su Ning, he thought that doing so would make Su Ning feel closer to him.

Yue Zi felt a secret, quiet joy welling up inside her.

He even longed for the coolness to linger on his forehead longer.

Su Ning only stroked it briefly before leaving.

Yue Zi hadn't even had time to feel lost yet.

Pei Yunlian, who had just entered, poured a cup of tea on the table and handed it to him, her face expressionless. "Drink up."

"Hey Ice Face, can you change your expression? I just had a brush with death."

Yue Zi rolled her eyes at the other person, then gulped down the tea in one go.

"You're just a little pale now, what are you pretending to be pitiful for?" Pei Yunlian put away her teacup and bluntly exposed the other party.

Once you enter the world of martial arts, your life and death are no longer in your own hands.

Even though Pei Yunlian was still young, she already knew this principle.

Sometimes, even if you do nothing, you still encounter all sorts of troubles.

Since traveling with Yue Zijin for these past few days, Pei Yunlian's senses have become even stronger.

If Yue Zijin weren't currently unwell, he would definitely have a serious talk with Pei Yunlian.

Meanwhile, Su Ning had been looking at the items in the room during the brief pause in their conversation. On the table were what Yue Zi had eaten that day, and Su Ning spotted the plate of pastries from that morning.

So he seized the opportunity to ask, "What exactly happened today?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Zijin became furious. "I don't know what happened, but ever since lunch, I've had some difficulty breathing, and then I started vomiting."

"Until later on, I was completely exhausted."

"But the ice-cold face seems completely unaffected, which leaves me completely baffled as to why."

Pei Yunlian nodded: "That's right, so I guess the poisoner probably didn't put it in today's lunch."
