After the meal, Su Ning looked at the person in front of her, feeling hesitant.

Whether it was truly Su Ning's disdain or not, Yu Xinglai never changed his attitude in front of her.

He noticed her subtle, almost imperceptible, glances.

In today's turbulent world, people are often out and about, so their clothing is naturally designed for convenience. Yu Xinglai's hair was neither too short nor too long, and he tied it all up with a blue hairband, which looked quite neat.

He didn't have any luxurious items on him.

"Does Miss Su have something to say?"

Su Ning happened to fall into a pair of eyes with a faint smile.

"I was just thinking that despite his long-standing fame, Young Master Yu is remarkably frugal."

Upon hearing this, he simply leaned back, looked up at the sky, and said, "My pursuit is only for the treasure itself. Even if I obtain it, it's nothing special. Why should I carry it with me every day?"

He's fickle and easily bored; what he's probably pursuing is nothing more than the fleeting pleasure of getting something.

"But it's different with girls; I'd like to see them every day."

He ignored Yu Xing's attempts to be friendly, replying, "Young master is too kind."

Seeing that Su Ning was completely unmoved by reason, Yu Xinglai sighed inwardly; what he said was indeed true.

He has always been reckless and unpredictable, so what if he has a whole bunch of assassins chasing him?

Anyway, those people can't hurt him, but... he's not alone right now.

Su Ning was just a fleeting glimpse to him, yet she left a deep imprint on his heart. He never considered himself a man who was attracted to beautiful women, so even he couldn't understand why he had to secretly abduct her.

Su Ning was indeed a treasure to him, and a living one at that, which stirred ripples in his heart compared to those inanimate objects from before.

He enjoys being with her.

Otherwise, who else could he possibly cook for himself?

But whenever he looked into the other person's clear eyes, he felt at a loss, unsure how to express what was in his heart.

Although he had a reputation, it was not a good one. Moreover, he was a loner, so how could he have had any contact with this delicate woman? Their first meeting was forced on him, and how could we know that the lewd words he uttered were not from his heart?

Su Ning didn't care about the other person's inner turmoil. Since Yu Xinglai had no connection with her in the plot, she naturally wouldn't give him any extra feelings.

She needed to survive, so after realizing that the other party wouldn't hurt her, she became increasingly bold in her actions. She needed to know where the young man's bottom line was with her.

Presumably, the main characters should also be prepared.

Since the help of Hundred Flowers Valley, searching for Yu Xinglai's whereabouts has become much easier.

Ultimately, Hundred Flowers Valley is a place for seeking medical treatment. Apart from Song Hengxue, a genius who excels in both medicine and martial arts, the other disciples in the valley are quite lacking.

At this moment, a group of people gathered around the table, looking at the small object in Yue Zijin's hand.

"There's no mistake, it's the soul-guiding bee I gave to Susu."

The Soul-Guiding Bee left behind by Su Ning was finally discovered, and Song Hengxue immediately sent people to search the surrounding area.

"Brother Song is right, Yu Xinglai really didn't escape Qingyun."

Looking at the white-robed man before him, Yue Zijin was filled with admiration. Even Pei Yunlian had nothing to say about this youngest chief physician of Hundred Flowers Valley.

The other party was truly outstanding, with exceptional abilities and a gentle demeanor. Although I knew he was a strong contender for the top spot in this year's martial arts tournament, I still admired him immensely.

"Yu Xinglai is a mysterious and unpredictable person. Even the Ten-Mile Bell couldn't do anything about him. But since he kidnapped someone, it's impossible for him to have disappeared overnight." Song Hengxue shook her head. "I know he can't be too far from Qingyun, but I don't know his exact location."

"With your skill, Senior Brother, it's only a matter of time before that thief is caught."

Qi Linglong gazed at Song Hengxue with starry eyes.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was the inn's waiter who came to inquire: "May I ask which one of you is Young Master You Xunchun? We have a letter for you."

"A letter? Who sent a letter to Brother You at this time?" After receiving the letter from the waiter, Yue Zijin glanced at You Xunchun.

"The people from Shili Xuanling have arrived." You Xunchun didn't hide anything and said this as soon as he tore open the letter.

For a moment, everyone's expressions were different.

Shili Xuanling herself was unaware of Yu Xinglai's whereabouts, so at first, no one even considered the other party.

It's quite surprising that the other party has come to us on their own initiative.

"Tangxi, aren't you curious about who came from Ten Miles of Bells? Could they also be looking for Yu Xing? Then why did they come to us?"

Yue Zijin looked up at the tightly closed window, lost in thought.

"What's so strange about that? Our high-profile search for him couldn't possibly have escaped the notice of Shili Xuanling. I bet many people want to kill Yu Xinglai every year. Now that he's appeared in Qingyun, it's not surprising that they'd take the initiative to attack, given the rare opportunity."

Meanwhile, the three people outside had already guessed the other party's intentions perfectly.

Meanwhile, the people inside the second-floor room were also in a standoff.

You Xunchun: "I never expected that the Pavilion Master of Shadow Pavilion would personally grace us with his presence; I am truly flattered."

The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, his face covered by a ghost mask, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Mr. You has always been on good terms with Master Ling. If I hadn't come in person, how could I have gotten you to take action?"

Although the two spoke politely to each other, a different kind of tension filled the air.

The tea brewing in the red clay teapot made a bubbling sound, steam rising between the two. You Xunchun remained silent, but finally the masked man spoke, "Yu Xinglai has recently killed several of my assassins."

"Just a few subordinates, does the Pavilion Master really care about something like this?"

You Xunchun's expression was indifferent, and his tone revealed no emotion.

"I'm afraid it was the Bell Master's idea."

There was a moment of silence, before the person on the other end finally spoke: "This man has recently become arrogant and has incurred the displeasure of the Bell Master."

You Xunchun stood up and stood by the window. "Don't hurt that woman. I'll make her suffer the rest."

The masked man seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly met the other person's gaze and his heart skipped a beat.

In that instant, he seemed to see the shadow of the Bell Master.

"I will explain to Lord Ling myself; it has nothing to do with Lord Ying."

"Since you say so, sir, I understand."

"The tea's getting cold; Your Excellency should drink it quickly."

After finishing his sentence, You Xunchun went straight downstairs.

Yue Zijin and his group were bored, and when they saw the person coming down, they all went to greet him.

"Brother You, does Shili Xuanling mean to help us?" Yue Zijin couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk." Pei Yunlian looked back at the building.

Besides the person wearing the ghost mask, another masked man in black had appeared in the room at some point: "Why is the Pavilion Master so respectful to this person? Even if the other party has a close relationship with the Bell Master, he is not the Bell Master himself. Why should the Pavilion Master be mindful of his feelings?"

"If the Bell Master were to hold someone accountable, wouldn't it still be the Pavilion Master's fault?"

The subordinate was clearly indignant, but the masked man glanced at him without any emotion and said, "This matter is not to be discussed further. Go and receive your punishment."

The subordinate was clearly unwilling, but orders were paramount, so he had no choice but to comply.
