C13 Chapter 13

When Le Si woke up, she found herself lying in a comfortable and unfamiliar room. She sat up, flustered and reluctant. The first thought that popped into his mind was: Where's my younger brother?

Her brother was gone, and she was in an unfamiliar environment. It was hard not to be anxious. She also found out that her clothes had been replaced. Who had helped her change? Was the other party a man or a woman? If the other person was a man, then …

Le Si was getting more and more confused, but no matter what, she had to find someone first. She was about to get out of bed when she heard the door open. Due to the obstruction of the screen, Le Si couldn't see the person who opened the door immediately. She didn't know whether the person was a man or a woman, so she had no choice but to stand up to greet her savior.

The one who entered the room was Liu Xiang. She didn't know that the person who was unconscious earlier had woken up, but when she saw that the woman was still weak and had tried to get off the bed, she immediately came over and said, "Just lie down. You don't even have the strength to stand up, yet you still want to get off the bed?"

As Liu Xiang spoke, her hands weren't idle as she helped the girl to sit back down on the bed. However, from the looks of it, it seemed as if Liu Xiang had forcefully pushed her onto the bed.

"Thank you!" Le Si, who was lying on the bed, looked at Liu Xiang with an embarrassed expression. She originally wanted to pay her respects to her benefactor, but she didn't think that she would have the strength to stand up. Her voice sounded a little weak, "Thank you for saving me!"

"You're welcome. Just lie down." Liu Xiang passed him a glass of water and asked, "Is that little boy your brother?"

"Yes." Le Si heard Liu Xiang mention the boy and asked anxiously, "Where is my brother? I want to see him. "

"Don't worry, someone is taking care of him." After comforting her, Liu Xiang jokingly said, "Take a rest first. When you are able to stand up, I will take you to see him. "Haha …"

Le Si had also heard from Liu Xiang that her brother was fine and knew that she was in a better condition. She wanted to thank Liu Xiang again before realizing that she was only worried about her brother and didn't even know the name of her benefactor. Therefore, she asked in an awkward tone, "I'm Le Si, my brother is Le Ming; may I ask for your name?"

"My name is Liu Xiang." After Liu Xiang said the name, she said, "Take a rest first. I'll go find Sister Yue Wu and have a look at you."

"Is there anyone else?"

"Of course. Otherwise, would I be able to bring you and your sister here by myself?" Liu Xiang said as if it was a matter of course, "There's also Brother Feng, Brother Morley, Sister Yue Wu and Yun Dan's younger sister. You'll meet them soon."

After Liu Xiang left the room, Le Si thought about what had happened to her in the past few days.

The boy, who was Le Si's brother Le Ming, was lying on the bed with his upper body naked. Three extremely thin, triangular silver needles were stuck deeply in his chest, and his face was a lot redder than before.

Xun Feng and Yue Wu sat by the window while Yun Dan and Morley sat at the dining table in the middle of the room.

"Sister Yue Wu, Le Si has woken up." Liu Xiang's voice rang out before she even entered the room.

"Le Si? Who's Le Si? " Yun Dan asked.

"It's the girl that we picked up on the way here." Liu Xiang said, then pointed at the unconscious boy on the bed in front of them, "His sister's name is Le Si, and his name is Le Ming."

"She's awake!" Let's go and ask them why they fainted on the way. "

Yun Dan pulled Liu Xiang along as she spoke, walking towards Le Si's room. Since Liu Xiang hadn't been out for long, Yun Dan knew that Liu Xiang hadn't asked her about anything yet.

"Bring the supplements we prepared previously as well." Xun Feng reminded him.

"Alright." The person who answered was indeed Morley, he was also a bit interested in these two siblings.

Now, only Xun Feng and Yue Wu were left in the boy's room. Xun Feng had been depressed ever since he met the boy. Yue Wu also knew that the boy's poison reminded him of something from the past. She looked at Xun Feng and thought that he might treat him better if she told him about it, so she said, "You still haven't said what poison Le Ming was infected with."

"It has a very nice name, 'Heart Blue'. When it is sticky, it immediately causes the poison to act up, and the person infected by it has nine days' time left from when it was poisoned. After nine days, their heart would stop beating, and there is no medicine that can cure it; and there were also only two people in the world who could cure it a few years ago, my master and I were the only two left."

At first, Xun Feng said he didn't have any feelings, but he became very confident later on. However, Yue Wu could still hear the irrepressible anger and hatred in his confident voice.

"I'm curious."

"Do you want to know why I hate this poison?" Xun Feng smiled as he looked Yue Wu up and down, then stroked his own chin. He smiled sinisterly and said, "I can tell you, but I have a condition."

"You know what you're thinking just by looking at your expression, and you want me to be the boss of your little teahouse?" Yue Wu glared at Xun Feng in annoyance and continued, "From your hatred for 'Heart's Blue', it should be someone very important to you that died by it, right?"

The smile on Xun Feng's face froze at this moment. He tilted his head and looked out the window, "You are really careful. You are indeed an extremely important person to me. The one who should have died was me. She died for me."

"Didn't you say you could cure the poison? How could you let her …" Yue Wu asked, puzzled.

Xun Feng picked up a glass of water on the table and took a sip, "Are you interested in listening to the story?"

"If you say so, I will listen. If you don't say it, I won't force you."

"Then let me tell you something. I've kept these things in my heart for so many years. I thought I could forget about it, but after meeting this Le Ming today, I know that I haven't forgotten about it. I will still feel sad and sad.

"Stop sighing and get straight to the point."

"I just realized that you're quite impatient. I thought you'd always be that calm and collected." Xun Feng revealed a gentle smile and began to talk, "I've lived far away from home with my master since I was six years old. I can only go home two or three times a year, and I rarely spend time with my sister Ling Yun. However, our relationship has always been good.

"Every year I want to go home with her on her birthday. This is our agreement. Seven years ago, on the day of Ling Yun's twelfth birthday, my father sent for me to his study as soon as I entered the house. I had to send Ling Yun to my room to wait for me. By the time my father and I returned to our room, Ling Yun was already unconscious on the floor. "

"After that, my father came, but he just asked someone to take Ling Yun's pulse. After looking at the cup of water on the table for a while, he left with a dark expression without saying a word to me or to my sister."

Xun Feng stopped here to look at Le Ming. Yue Wu did not interrupt or urge him, but just waited quietly for him.

Xun Feng smiled bitterly and continued to speak, "I just sat on the bed, dumbfounded, and waited for my sister to wake up. I was afraid that she would wake up when I left, so I didn't dare to leave the bed for even a second, and this wait lasted for a whole day and night. Ling Yun finally woke up, I knew that she fainted after drinking the water on the table, and I also knew that she was poisoned."

"I think, since it's poison, there must be an antidote. But why did his father leave just like that? Was he not going to save Ling Yun? Why didn't he come back after leaving yesterday? Why didn't even a doctor come to see Ling Yun again? "

"All I can think of is that my father abandoned Ling Yun and no longer cared about her life. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got … After Ling Yun had drunk some porridge and fallen asleep, I went to find my father in a rage. However, when I went to my father's study, I saw that he was drawing Ling Yun's portrait with his own memories. The study was filled with badly painted pictures of Ling Yun.

"At that moment, I was stunned. My father, who would never shed tears, actually cried. I've never seen my father cry, let alone cry in such a low voice. Seeing my father cry like this, I understood that it wasn't that my father didn't want to save Ling Yun, but rather, he couldn't.

"I want to save Ling Yun, but I don't know what to do. The only thing I can think of is my master. Ling Yun can't wait for me to bring my master back, so I can only bring Ling Yun to Tianshan." On the way back to his room, he heard someone say that his father had killed dozens of people after seeing Ling Yun yesterday. There were those who were in charge of cleaning my room, those who were trusted by his father, and some … "

At this point, Xun Feng stopped again. Yue Wu could see the strong hatred on his face. If those people were not killed by his father, Xun Feng would have personally killed them.

"At that time, I didn't have the mood to care who my father killed. When I carried Ling Yun to the door, my father had already prepared a carriage for us, but he didn't come to see us off. Maybe he didn't dare to see Ling Yun again. "My father also sent me a message saying that I only had seven days, and when I heard that it was only seven days, my heart went cold. The journey would take ten days."

"How can this be? How can the heavens treat Ling Yun like this?" I don't care, I can't give up! I carried the horse carriage by myself. No matter if it was day or night, as long as I could see the road clearly, I would continue on my journey. Finally, I arrived in front of my master on the sixth night. However … But there's nothing my master can do. At the last moment, Ling Yun, who had been in a coma, woke up and asked me to take her outside to see her. There was a very beautiful place on the Tian Shan, and I lived here for almost a decade. When Ling Yun saw this place, she said, "Brother, it's really beautiful here! "I also want to live here. I can see you every day like this. I wish I could be with big brother forever …"

"I want to say, 'Sure! "From now on, big brother will always accompany Ling Yun and won't leave." Unfortunately, she won't be able to hear anything else. By the time she finished speaking, her eyes were already closed, forever. "

Xun Feng finally finished his story. Even if he didn't, he couldn't utter a word now. The tears on his face made Yue Wu realize the pain in Xun Feng's heart. The moaning in his throat recounted Xun Feng's sadness from the past.

"I didn't expect you to be so …" Yue Wu's eyes were slightly red, she could understand Xun Feng's feelings. Watching a very important person die in front of her without being able to do anything, no matter who it was, she could not let it go easily, this hatred for her incompetence might never be erased from her heart!

Yue Wu took out her handkerchief and handed it to Xun Feng, indicating for him to wipe the tears off his face.

Xun Feng took a few deep breaths, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, giving Yue Wu a smile that didn't seem like a smile, "After that, I learned the name and origin of this poison from master, and after three years of hard work, master finally found a way to cure it. Unfortunately, everything is too late."

"You said before that this poison does not belong to the martial arts world. In that case, it is …"

"Let's talk about this later. Now we should think about how to save him." Xun Feng stood up and walked to Le Ming's window. He suddenly thought of something and shouted in panic, "Ah! I'll go wash my face first. Otherwise, if Yun Dan sees me, I'll be embarrassed. "

"…" Yue Wu was completely speechless when she saw Xun Feng run away. Just a moment ago, he was still extremely sad, but why would he be smiling happily the next moment? This change in mood is too fast!

Maybe he had always been cheerful and optimistic, but he had put too much pressure on his heart, hadn't he? Yue Wu guessed.

"Big brother, we're coming in." Yun Dan's voice interrupted Yue Wu's guess about Xun Feng. However, why did Yun Dan inform him first? It would be fine if she just came in. In the past, she had always just pushed open the door and entered.

"Come in, he's not here." Yue Wu said softly.

Yun Dan and Liu Xiang supported Le Si as they walked in.

Although Le Si was still weak, she was much better. When he saw Yue Wu, Le Si knew what it meant to be a crescent moon and a flower falling from the sky. Although Yue Wu was standing right in front of him, he couldn't believe that she really existed. She was too beautiful, too unreal! Although Le Si was also a woman, she couldn't help but want to glance at Yue Wu a few more times.

"Sister Le Si, let's take a look at your brother first." Seeing that Le Si seemed to have forgotten her brother, Liu Xiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Anyway, it's not like Sister Yue Wu will run away. We'll watch it after she sees your brother!"

Hearing Liu Xiang's words, Le Si became even more embarrassed. Her face immediately turned red, and her voice became even softer. "Le Si greets Miss Yue Wu."

"Stop bowing." Yue Wu gently supported Le Si, who wanted to salute him. Look at your brother, he's not doing very well. "

Le Si walked alone to Le Ming's bedside. The first thing she saw was the three long silver needles piercing deeply into Le Ming's chest. She raised her head and looked at Yue Wu: "What … What happened to my brother?"

"Did your brother suddenly faint a few days ago?" Yue Wu asked. Although she got the approximate time of the outbreak from Xun Feng, she could only ask Le Si to be more precise.

Le Si was very smart. She guessed from Yue Wu's words that her brother could be saved, so she seriously thought about it and replied, "Five days ago."

"So it's like that." Yue Wu looked at Le Si who hadn't fully recovered. She felt a little unwilling to say what she had to say.

"So today is the sixth day?"

When Yue Wu didn't know how to reply, Xun Feng's voice came from behind her.

"Well, yes." Le Si was so focused on Le Ming that she didn't notice Xun Feng's sudden outburst.

"Then... If I tell you to save your brother, you'll die. Will you save him? "

Xun Feng's cold voice did not have a trace of warmth. Besides Yue Wu and Yun Dan, everyone trembled when they heard Xun Feng's words. Yue Wu knew that the situation wasn't that serious, but Yun Dan knew Xun Feng too well. She knew that Xun Feng usually used this tone to scare people, after all, she often suffered, so Yue Wu and Yun Dan only quietly looked at Le Si.

Liu Xiang and Morley, on the other hand, looked at Xun Feng. This was the first time they saw Xun Feng's cold side, so they were quite surprised.

Le Si only noticed Xun Feng when she heard that cold voice, but only Xun Feng's words kept echoing in her head. Looking at Le Ming's flushed face, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm willing to trade my life for my brother's. Please let me go, Young Master."

Yun Dan finally couldn't take it anymore. She ran over to support Le Si and rolled her eyes at Xun Feng. "Brother, stop scaring Sister Le Si."

"Hehe!" Xun Feng smiled embarrassedly. I didn't mean to scare her. I really need Miss Le Si's great sacrifice. "

Morley, Lili, and Le Si were at a complete loss from the contrast. The speed at which they were changing their faces was invincible.

Yue Wu looked at Yun Dan as if she was thinking about how Yun Dan had lived her life with Xun Feng until today.

"Then, let me first talk to you about the method to save your brother. There are also some things that you need to pay attention to." Xun Feng said to Le Si with a smile.

While Xun Feng and Le Si were talking, Yue Wu walked to the window in boredom and watched the pedestrians on the street walk back and forth. She turned around and said to Yun Dan and Liu Xiang, "Yun Dan, Liu Xiang, accompany me for a walk. We aren't of much help here."

"En!" Lili and Liu Xiang were in high spirits, dragging Yue Wu with them as they walked out. Morley looked at Xun Feng, Le Si, and Yue Wu, and now he was the only one who was bored. Seeing Morley like this, Xun Feng said, "If you have nothing to do, just go with them and help them carry their stuff."

Morley waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this. "Forget it, I might as well go to sleep. If I go shopping with them, someone might die."

Le Si looked at Morley in confusion.

Morley noticed Le Si's puzzled gaze and asked, "What do you think of Miss Yue Wu? "If I walk with Miss Yue Wu, you should be able to imagine what kind of eyes people around me would give me."

Hearing Morley's question, Le Si also understood. If there was a man walking together with Yue Wu, he would be surrounded by the envious gazes and would even dare to provoke them.

At this moment, Le Si's mind was opened. She couldn't help but think further: If so, then isn't Lady Yue Wu very pitiful? She can also attract all kinds of trouble from shopping, so who else can accompany her? Right, what was the relationship between Young Master Xun Feng and Yue Wu?

Xun Feng didn't know what Le Si was thinking and didn't care what Morley was going to do. He then said to Le Si, "Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. Remember every word."

"En!" Le Si quickly took back her thoughts and carefully memorized every word Xun Feng said.
