Pin Shanhe

Shen Fu made a major discovery.

These past two days, Yun Dai seems to have been acting a little strange.

Whenever she came face to face with Xiao Xuanjin, her eyes would dart away, as if she were somewhat afraid of him.

What's going on?

Could it be that these two people have some secret she doesn't know about?

Shen Fu has always been intolerant of anything that is out of her control.

She first asked Xiao Xuanjin, but he flatly denied it.

But her intuition told her that something was wrong!

So she went to find Yun Dai again.

She always picks the softest persimmon to squeeze, and this time she found the right person!

Shen Fu disliked beating around the bush, so she simply got straight to the point.

"Tell me, what exactly happened between you and the Xuan King?"

Yun Dai hadn't expected her to be so direct, and was so startled that she knocked over all the herbs that were drying in the courtyard.

"No...nothing's wrong..."

Shen Fu's face darkened.

It's so obvious, does she think she can still get away with it?

It seems we have no choice but to push them!

"Tell the truth or burn down the Valley of the Holy Healer—you choose!"

Yun Dai: "..."

Help!

She was threatened with such methods just two days ago, why is it happening again!

No matter what, she has helped them several times. Is this really okay?

But she also knew that if she didn't give him an explanation, she would never have peace again.

She had a sudden inspiration and actually came up with a reason.

"The Xuan King... knows my identity."

"What?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Shen Fu quickly regained her composure.

Yun Dai's medical skills are unfathomable, far surpassing those of ordinary doctors.

Even if the world could not imagine that the world-renowned holy doctor was such a young woman, it was normal that Xiao Xuanjin's identity could not be hidden from him.

"So what if you know? You're a saintly doctor, not a vicious thug. Why should you be afraid of him?"

"Not only that, he also knows about me and..."

Yun Dai paused, seemingly somewhat averse to that name.

Shen Fu's heart sank, and she suddenly understood.

"Does he know about your relationship with Rong Yan?"

Upon hearing this name, Yun Dai's heart skipped a beat again.

My thoughts drifted back to the bamboo forest that night.

She "accidentally" stumbled upon their secret, and then "accidentally" was discovered while trying to escape.

Feng Zhu immediately advised, "This is bad! She must know our secret. To prevent it from being exposed, shouldn't we kill her?"

She almost burst into tears at that moment.

If she could turn back time, she vowed she would definitely restrain her curiosity.

If she loses her life while eating melon seeds, she would be more wronged than Dou E!

"I was just passing by, I didn't hear anything!"

"I didn't know you were the Mysterious King, let alone that you were the Venerable One of the Underworld!"

"Please have mercy on me, sob sob sob..."

Rong Yan: "..."

Feng Zhu: "..."

I did have some murderous thoughts at first, but now I feel like killing would be a waste of energy. Why is that?

"Really? It seems you know quite a bit. I've heard that only the dead keep secrets."

Yun Dai's eyes were filled with terror, and she quickly shook her head: "No, I'm very tight-lipped! As long as you give me hush money... no, I swear I will never tell anyone."

"Alright, swear on your secret stash that if you dare to utter a single word, it will be burned to ashes."

"..."

What's going on with this couple?

They're going to use her secret stash of money to threaten her?

In the past, she might have hesitated.

Now that she has realized the seriousness of the matter, she naturally knows what it means to be sensible.

The man was relieved after hearing her swear.

"Very well, you can go now!"

Feng Zhu was utterly shocked. His master was just letting her go like that?

"Absolutely not, she..."

Just as I was about to stop her, a cold gaze swept over me, and I could only swallow my words.

"I know what I'm doing. She has already made the most vicious oath in the world that she will never reveal the secret, even if it means death."

Yun Dai: "..."

Why do I have this feeling that someone has my weakness under their thumb?

However, one thing she was very clear about was that her life was saved!

At that time, countless questions welled up in her mind.

For example, why would he pretend to be the Xuan King when he is clearly the Venerable One of the Underworld?

For example, is his affection for Shen Fu genuine or not?

For example, what exactly was his purpose in coming to Yongchao?

But she dared not ask a single question, fearing that the other party might change their mind and kill her again.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

So she quickly left!

Even after learning a huge secret, my legs were still weak when I left the bamboo forest.

She accidentally fell down the steps and bumped into Jun Jingyan.

The rest is history!

Yun Dai knew that if this matter were to be leaked, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Even without swearing, she would absolutely keep quiet.

But whenever she saw that man, she couldn't help feeling awkward and uneasy.

When he saw Shen Fu again, he was filled with guilt once more.

We're all friends, is it really okay to keep this from her?

But if I say it, it might upset her!

She's pregnant now and can't be frightened by anything, so let's just forget about it!

Unexpectedly, her unintentional little actions still alerted Shen Fu.

If you can't tell the truth but still want to get away with it, what should you do?

In this emergency, she had to act expediently; this was the only solution she could think of.

Surprisingly, my gamble paid off!

Shen Fu did not doubt her words, but her mood was somewhat heavy.

She had previously discussed with Xiao Xuanjin what to do if that man came back.

He repeatedly assured that the matter would be resolved peacefully and that no unnecessary conflict would be stirred up.

What does it mean now?

"How did he find out?"

"Uh... at first he only suspected my identity. He mentioned that the day we met was the same day the Qingyan Tea Party incident happened. How could the timing be so coincidental? As he asked more questions, he gave himself away."

This explanation is indeed reasonable.

"So what? He knows you're Rong Yan's friend, but he can't tolerate you?"

Yun Dai quickly shook her head: "No, he just asked about some things between you two. I repeatedly assured him that I would remain neutral and would never interfere in your relationship, so he let me go and even told me not to tell you about it. I didn't expect you to find out anyway."

"Then why do you always look so furtive, like you've done something wrong?"

"..."

Is it that obvious?

It's no wonder she was upset; anyone would be overwhelmed if they suddenly learned a shocking secret.

It's already quite remarkable that she can remain calm and maneuver between the two powerful figures!

Shen Fu didn't ask any further questions, but turned and left.

Before Yun Dai could even catch her breath, a figure in black appeared before her.

She was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating, and it took her a long time to find her own voice.

"When...when did you get here?"
