"You...you...you're awake." Yue Zijin stammered as she looked at the pale-faced girl in front of her, not knowing how to speak.

Suddenly, the girl who had just stirred up the pool of spring water rushed into his arms like a fawn, and a light fragrance even stronger than the night before lingered around Yue Zijin's nose.

The girl seemed still in shock: "Waaah... I'm so scared."

Yue Zijin didn't even know what to do with her hands, her face as red as if she had been boiled in hot water: "Miss...it's alright."

Su Ning's thin shoulders hunched over, her body trembling instinctively. After all, it was no wonder that a young girl would be afraid after experiencing something like this.

Tangxi stepped forward slowly to comfort the girl, and it took a while for her to calm down.

Su Ning slowly raised her face and got up from Yue Zijin, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

Her beautiful eyes were like the most dazzling stars, and her red lips were slightly parted. Yue Zijin, who was closest to her, couldn't turn his head and was completely enveloped in Su Ning's fragrance.

It smells so good...

But then she said softly, "Thank you so much, young heroes, for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would already be buried in a coffin, never to see the light of day again..."

Her tone was normal, but there was an inescapable sorrow between her brows, which broke one's heart.

"Ahem... I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Yue Zijin, the one with the cold face is Pei Yunlian, the woman next to you is Tang Xi, and the one carrying the medicine box is the famous healer in the martial arts world." Yue Zijin stammered as he introduced himself, trying to divert Su Ning's attention.

"I know of a few; I've seen them from afar in the village before," Su Ning replied.

When Sujia Village was mentioned, the girl's voice became muffled, a few drops of tears still clung to her eyelashes, and she seemed completely lost and dejected.

Yue Zijin wished he could slap himself. They had just run into the wedding procession from Sujia Village that morning. Although he had never seen the girl before, he was certain she was from Sujia Village, and they had stayed there for so long.

Thinking of this, he regretted that if he had ignored Su Youde's obstruction this morning and lifted the bridal sedan chair, she wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of being buried alive.

Tangxi rolled her eyes at Yue Zijin. As the culprit who sent the girl into the tiger's den, Su Youde's mention of Su Family Village at this time was really stabbing him in the heart.

Turning back, he spoke directly to Su Ning: "I don't know your name yet, young lady. Don't worry, as upright people, we will definitely seek justice for you in the face of such injustice."

Su Ning then looked up and examined the only female lead in the main group. According to the original work given by Xiao Qi, this book mainly tells the story of a monster-fighting team led by Yue Zijin. Due to the large number of characters in the book, the author focuses more on the friendship of the main group.

However, their respective romantic relationships were not explicitly described.

However, as the main character, he naturally has no shortage of female and male confidantes.

As the only female member of the main group, Tang Xi is naturally the undisputed female lead. In the book, she is described as someone who hates evil and seeks revenge.

Therefore, Su Ning quickly accepted her kindness, as Tang Xi's support was crucial for her to successfully join the main characters.

"Thank you all for saving me. My name is Su Ning. As for what happened today..."

Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Tangxi didn't press her. "Are you still feeling unwell? Brother You just checked you out. If you have any discomfort, just tell me."

Su Ning seemed to slowly breathe a sigh of relief, shook her head, and said softly, "Thank you, young lady, but I'm fine now."

Upon hearing this, the doctor, who had just been tidying up the medicine box, seemed to pause for a moment. Fortunately, everyone around him was focused on the girl who had just woken up and did not notice his secret movements.

Tangxi observed Su Ning's complexion and, seeing that she was only slightly pale, didn't pay much attention. "In that case, Miss, please rest a little longer. It's getting late, we'll take you home tomorrow."

But Tangxi had barely finished speaking when the previously quiet girl suddenly became agitated, muttering, "No! Don't!"

Everyone was startled. Yue Zijin, who was closest to her, quickly tried to comfort her and subconsciously reached out her hand, but realized something was wrong just before they made contact.

Su Ning's condition was really bad; she was trembling all over and curled up like a pitiful little animal.

Seeing this, Yue Zijin disregarded any semblance of propriety between men and women, gently patting the girl's back to soothe her emotions, even softening his voice considerably: "Miss Su, don't be afraid, we are all good people, we won't hurt you."

When Su Ning raised her head again, a crystal tear clung to the corner of her eye, like a pear blossom in the rain, on the verge of tears, a sight that evoked pity in me.

Perhaps because it was Yue Zijin who had carried her back from beside the dead, the girl was most affectionate towards him. She couldn't help but lean closer to him and mustered her courage to say, "I...I don't want to go back."

Tangxi realized she had said the wrong thing. After all, it was normal for her to feel resentment because the people from Sujia Village had treated her that way.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked in Pei Yunlian's direction, "Weren't you supposed to be checking if there were any other unusual happy events happening recently?"

"How's it going? Any progress?"

Pei Yunlian watched as Yue Zijin continued to comfort Su Ning, and swallowed the question she was about to ask. After all, no one wants to be surrounded by people who are beasts in human form in the village where they have lived for many years.

He walked up to Tangxi and whispered a few words.

No one knows what she said, but Miss Tang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and her anger became more and more obvious.

Then she suddenly turned to the doctor beside her: "Brother You! You really shouldn't have treated those people; you were simply wasting those medicinal herbs!"

Out of consideration for Su Ning's feelings, everyone lowered their voices.

According to the information Pei Yunlian gathered, there have been quite a few weddings in wealthy families in Luoyun City over the years, and coincidentally, most of them have married brides from Sujia Village.

No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on here.

Tangxi dared not imagine how many innocent women had perished at the hands of these scoundrels before they arrived.

Perhaps, many innocent young women are still being deceived by these scoundrels.

No wonder she noticed some strange looks as soon as she entered Sujia Village. She thought she was overthinking it, but it seems that she was being watched by those people as soon as she entered the village.

Later, after learning their identities, he refrained from taking action. What disgusted Tangxi even more was that Brother You actually helped these wicked people treat their illnesses.

After arranging everything neatly, You Xunchun walked towards Su Ning.

The firelight illuminated the girl's profile, a few strands of hair slightly disheveled, making her even more charming. Yue Zijin quietly stayed by her side, the once most lively person now silent.

The young man's figure, like a cedar tree, was reflected on the girl's snow-white face. Su Ning subconsciously looked up and saw that the most untouched person had half-squatted down, his gaze level with hers.

"Let's go back."

Su Ning heard him say that.

His voice wasn't loud, but it stunned everyone present for a moment.

Just as Yue Zi was about to retort, she heard him say, "I'll go back and avenge you."

"Don't you want those who harmed you to get what they deserve?"

The man's tone was flat, but the end of his sentence carried an inexplicable chill.

Is there even a hint of seduction?

Su Ning wasn't sure if she had heard correctly.

After the original owner gained power and influence, she tore all those who had bullied her to pieces. And the Su Family Village, where all her nightmares began, was burned to the ground overnight.

Of the 113 households in the village, not a single one survived.

Later, when the government officials came to investigate, they found no other results and could only conclude that it was a natural disaster.

Although Su Ning changed the original ending, she naturally didn't intend to let the people of Su Family Village go.

Consider it a service to the people.

However, she thought it would be Tangxi or Yue Zijin who brought it up, but she didn't expect it to be You Xunchun, who took it upon herself to help the world and save people.

This is getting interesting.

"Xiao Qi, are you sure You Xunchun really doesn't have any other identities?"

Su Ning summoned Xiao Qi in her mind.

"Host, why would you ask that? You Xunchun is, of course, only a healer."

Xiao Qi's tone didn't sound like she was lying, but Su Ning still felt something was off. The novel described You Xunchun as having a cold exterior but a warm heart, being a clean freak, and having the kindest heart of a bodhisattva.

In Su Ning's words, he was a saint.

Could someone with a compassionate heart really say such things?

Su Ning questioned this.

Could it be that her early encounter with the main characters changed the course of the story?

"Don't worry, host. The main storyline won't change because of your actions. After all, you're just an insignificant villain."

Xiao Qi came out and dispelled her unnecessary thoughts.

Su Ning didn't dwell on it. After all, novels are static, but people are dynamic, and a slight deviation wouldn't be a big deal.

"Brother You! I didn't expect you to be the first among us to bring up this idea."

As soon as You Xunchun finished speaking, Yue Zijin jumped up. He was already seething with anger, but they had a mission to complete, and he was still trying to figure out how to persuade them to agree.

Unexpectedly, You Xunchun handed over the pillow; his words were as effective as ten of his own.

Tang Xi was also startled. Although she was angry about what had just happened, they hadn't come here for sightseeing. She had originally planned to teach the culprit Su Youde and the other masterminds a lesson, but she didn't expect You Xunchun to say that he wanted to go back and take revenge.

So… she hesitated a little.
