He raised his hand to touch the throwing knife beneath his pillow, only to feel that it was empty. Wen Wan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and said with anger in his eyes: "Wen Ning, where is my blade?"

Wen Ning's hand that was carrying the medicine trembled. "Young Master, you're awake?"

Wen Huan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "I'm asking you, where is my blade?"

"I told him to keep it." Wen Shu walked in from the door. When he saw his son's gaze land on him, he subconsciously felt the urge to step back.

Wen Wan only glanced at him once before turning his gaze back to Wen Ning. "Hand it over."

Wenning took out a cicada wing knife wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to him, then stepped back.

Wen Wan put the cicada blade back under the pillow, and said lightly: "Next time you touch my blade, I will kill you."

Wen Ning whispered, "Yes, I understand. There won't be a next time."

"I told him to put it away."

"I heard you." Wen Wan interrupted with a cold look in his eyes, "His bodyguard is not a servant of the Wen family. I do not know whose servant my master is, and I will not stay by my side. "

"It's just a few hidden weapons."

Wen Wan said, "It's just a habit." He looked at his wrist and asked Wen Ning, "Has the doctor come over?"

Wen Ning nodded. "The doctor has already left. Young master is in good health, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

Wen Wan replied, "I have nothing to do in the first place, just a moment of dizziness."

Wen Ning hesitated for a moment, but before she could say anything, she asked, "How did you get such a serious internal injury? And the wounds on your body, it shouldn't be the first or second time, right? "

Wen Wan took the soup from Wen Ning's hands and slowly drank it. "They don't know my identity, so they won't implicate the Wen family."

"That's not what I meant."

"That's what I mean." Wen Wan lightly said, putting the bowl back, preparing to lie down again, "That's enough."

There was a trace of anger in Wen Ning's eyes. She rushed in front of him and said, "Master, Master Bai is here. Do you want to see him?"

Wen Wan was startled, he stopped what he was doing and laid down on the ground, "Second? Is it for me? "

Wen Ning said, "Master Bai said he has business with the young master. But the young master hasn't woken up yet. He should go to the young master first."

Wen Wan replied, "If you are looking for me, then just let him come over. If he is looking for Brother, then you don't need to come over to see me. Anyway, it's not like he is seriously ill."

Wen Ning said, "Then I will ask Master Bai to come over." After bowing to Wen Shu, he quickly walked out.

When Wen Ning left, Wen Wan also lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. Naturally, Wen Wan was not the type of person to be bored by something like this. "Then I'll leave first. I'll come back later."

Wen Wan said, "Father, please take care. I won't send you off too far."

Wen Wen looked at his son who didn't even stand up to send him off, and then said with a twitch of his eyebrows, "You should have healed your wounds earlier, there's no need to send me off." He turned around and walked away.

Wen Wan found a hair ribbon and tied up his hair simply, then casually put on a long gown.

"Big Brother Wen, how did you get up?" A short while later, Bai Zhen arrived. When he saw Wen Wan standing in front of the table, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Let me pour some water."

Wen Wan smiled. "Since when am I so weak? Do I need someone's help to get up and drink some water?"

Bai Zhen awkwardly replied, "That's not what I meant."

Wen Wan sat down on the chair, pushed a cup of water across from him, and motioned for him to sit down: "Have you gone to see second brother? Is he all right? "

Bai Zhen shook his head, "Ziyu is still drunk and not awake. I sat for a while and didn't wake him up."

Wen Wan wasn't surprised to hear this answer. With a sigh, he asked, "How long have you been here?"

Bai Ju replied, "It's not even been two hours, but it's a coincidence that I haven't been able to help in any way."

Wen Wan couldn't help but laugh. "If you came too early, it would be really troublesome for you."

Bai Zhen shrugged and revealed a helpless expression, "It's a bad thing that there's no trouble. This time, I came because I had something to trouble Big Brother Wen. Sigh, I have missed a great opportunity to receive a favor for nothing. "

Wen Wan smiled. "If there's anything I can help you with, just say it. Even if I don't owe you a favor, will I still not help you? "

Bai Zhen pondered for a moment before replying with a more positive tone, "Since that's the case, then I won't nag any longer. I came here this time because I heard from my father that he had the intention to send Bai Luo to Wu Gou to become his disciple.

Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head: "Indeed, I will go with Southern City, Xin Ling, and they have already agreed. But with their temperament, if their disciples didn't like it, they probably wouldn't be willing to diligently teach them. I am writing to my uncle, and I do not know what he thinks. "

Bai Zhen smiled bitterly, "Father must have felt sorry for Bai Luo, afraid that he would suffer."

Wen Wan sighed. "Actually, I also think Wu Gou is not a good place for Bai Luo."

"Wu Gou." Bai Zhen tilted his head and thought for a moment. "I think that I should really like that place."

Wen Wan said casually, "Yes, it should be a very interesting place for you." After he finished speaking, he suddenly froze for a moment. He stared at Bai Zhen and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Ju said, "I want to go in place of Bai Luo."

Wen Wan asked, "Why do you think that? Is it Uncle's or you? "

Bai Jian said, "Father doesn't know yet, but I would like to first tell Big Brother Wen about my plan. If possible, I will go and tell Father about it."

Wen Wan was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "You should know that Wu Gou is an assassin's organization. It will be very hard, and there will also be a lot of restrictions, so it's not very suitable for you."

Bai Zhen laughed, "At the very least, I think I am more suitable than Bai Luo."

Wen Wan looked at him deeply. "Have you decided?"

Bai Zhen truthfully replied, "It cannot be said that we have decided, but one of us must leave. I hope that the one that remains by my father's side is Bai Luo. Furthermore, if I want to become stronger, leaving the Ling Ge Palace for the trial is probably the best choice.

After a while, Wen Wan said slowly, "Actually, I want to send Second Brother along."

Bai Zhen asked, "Have you already spoken to Ziyu?"

Wen Wan shook his head. "Not yet, perhaps letting him stay in the Wen Family is also a good choice. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle Wu Gou's suffering. "

Bai Zhen fell silent. "If you want to become stronger, Wu Gou should be a good place to go, right?"

Wen Wan looked at him with a dark expression. "With your current age, your martial arts are already very outstanding. Why do you still want to become stronger?"

Bai Zhen pursed his lips, "Perhaps it's because after experiencing the calamity that has befallen the house of the Marquis, I feel too powerless. I have no idea how I should react to such a thing happening in the Ling Ge Palace. "

Wen Wan's complexion slightly changed, but he quickly regained his calm: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Lingge Palace had a deep roots. How could something like that happen? Moreover, even if the sky falls, don't you still have an uncle? "

"How does the Ling Song Palace compare to the Marquis' Mansion, and how does father compare to the Marquis' Mansion?" Bai Zhen didn't notice Wen Wan's brief change in color, and only shook his head and sighed. "I can see that father is very uneasy. Perhaps the cause of the Marquis' Mansion's destruction was much more complicated than I had expected, but I promised my father that I wouldn't interfere. Father didn't want me to get involved in a dangerous situation, but at least I didn't have to drag him down when disaster struck. I know that no matter how hard I try, I wouldn't be able to help Brother Wen and Father, but I definitely won't be a burden to you. "

After a long time, Wen Wan asked, "Have you decided?"

Bai Zhen nodded. "I wish to give it a try."

Wen Wan looked down at the teacup in the palm of his hand. "You need to know that once a master, forever a father.

Bai Zhen's gaze turned serious. "I have long heard of the name of the Southern City Lord. If I can become his disciple, I will definitely respect him as a disciple."

"The Southern Monarch?" Wen Wan smiled, and his smile darkened a bit, "Shang Zhao, as the Young Palace Master of Ling Ge Palace, you shouldn't have become like me, becoming a fugitive. Killing to pay with one's life, the path of an assassin was paved with countless innocent lives. Have you passed this trial in your heart? "

Bai Zhen asked instead of answering, "Then why did Brother Wen choose this path?"

Wen Wan said, "Because I have no other choice."

Bai Zhen smiled faintly. "I may have a choice, but if I have to choose between the blood that flows from my hands and the tragic death of my family, I choose the former."

Wen Wan sighed. "The Ling Song Palace will be fine."

"I don't believe it." Bai Zhen replied indifferently, "I don't know what Brother Wen and Father know, and I won't ask. But I don't believe that the destruction of the Manchu Mansion had nothing to do with the Ling Song Palace. As a son, how can I sit back and watch my father die without doing anything? "

Wen Wan looked at him and did not object to his words. "You are too clever. This will only add to your worries."

Bai Ju said: "I would rather suffer before it happens than see the irrevocable result of crying."

Wen Huan narrowed her eyes. "Even if you knew what was going to happen, you wouldn't be able to change anything."

Bai Ju said, "It's better to wait for death without knowing anything."

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you." Wen Wan's eyes were deep, and he said slowly, "Remember your choice today, and enter Wu Gou. You cannot leave Wu Gou. To live and die together, to mourn and to live together. From today onwards, you will not only have to shoulder the burden of Ling Ge Palace, but also Wu Gou. "

Bai Zhen nodded. "I know."

I'm a little tired. If there's nothing important, we can talk about it tomorrow." "Since you've come here for a hard trip, you should stay at the Wen Mansion for a few days if you don't mind.

Bai Zhen fell silent for a moment before nodding his head, "Alright, then I won't disturb you. I'll go check on Ziyu again."

Wen Wan pressed the table and stood up. "Please."

Bai Zhen hurriedly said, "Brother Wen, please take a seat. I'll head out myself."

After seeing him leave, Wen Wan went back to the bed and lay down. He reached under the pillow and pulled out a cicada knife. With a long sigh, he said, "If you're here, come in. Do you want someone else to invite you?"

The window opened and a black figure entered the room.

Wen Wan asked, "You're the only one?"

The black-clothed man pulled out a chair and sat down impolitely. He casually picked up a cup by the side and gulped down half a cup of tea before replying, "Xinling looks after the house. Of course, it's only me."

Wen Wan's eyebrows twitched. "No one has tasted that cup of tea on the other side. Why would you want to use my tea cup?"

The black clothed man didn't seem to care at all, "What you drink shouldn't be poisonous."

"Southern City." Wen Wan gritted his teeth and called out to him, but seeing that he didn't care, he could only sigh and say, "Actually, there's poison in the teacup, you should know that."

Nancheng giggled, "I wiped it off with my sleeve."

Wen Wan said, "I also smeared poison on the mouth of the teacup."

Nancheng continued to giggle and say, "I also used my sleeve to wipe it off."

Wen Wan finally sighed. "The poison in the tea and the antidote on the cup."

Nancheng's face stiffened, using her sleeve to rub it against her hand. Looking at Wen Wan's unsmiling eyes, she suddenly froze. "What you said couldn't be true, right?"

Wen Wan pointed to the incense burner in the corner of the room. "Most of the things in this room are poisonous, including the stool you made. Three quarters of an hour later. The incense burning in the incense burner at the corner of the room is the antidote, and the ashes can be applied externally. "

Nancheng suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "This is your home."

"Home?" Wen Wan smiled, his smile was indifferent, and it was hard to tell what was inside, "This habit of mine has never changed in the past ten years, and will never change again."

The Southern City suddenly fell silent. They silently watched him play with the flying daggers and look at the small wounds on his palm. After a long time, they finally spoke again. "Are you seriously injured?"

Wen Wan shook his head. "There's one other thing that worries me more than this."

Nancheng asked, "What is it?"

Wen Wan raised his eyes and looked at him, "The east city finally knows my identity."

South City had a face full of astonishment. "Your identity?"

Wen Wan nodded slowly. "He recognized 'Hengxue'." After a pause, he added, "I should have died in his hands, but I don't know why he let me go. Compared to putting it on the table... Maybe someone saved me. "

Nancheng frowned, "You don't know who saved you?"

Wen Wan said, "When I woke up, I was still in the same place, and the assassins that were standing by the side before I died were also dead. Only Dong Tang had disappeared without a trace. I can roughly guess who saved me, but I can't be sure if Dong Tang is dead or alive. "

Nancheng muttered, "This is going to be difficult."

Wen Wan said, "Let's not talk about this for now. How about Wu Gou?"

Nancheng replied, "Basically, everything is fine. There's nothing to worry about. The only thing to worry about is your injury. "

Wen Wan smiled. "What's there to worry about about? In less than ten days it will be all right. I was only worried that Wu Gou might suffer some serious injury because of Candle. "

Nan Cheng shrugged his shoulders: "There is the Poison Hall for them to kill. You just attacked a few days ago, what can happen? It will be who knows how long before they react. "Oh right, I heard that Hall Master Candle Wen personally intercepted and killed the two emissaries from the Netherworld Valley on my way here. I wonder what the result will be?"

Wen Wan threw the cicada blade in his hand and casually said: "It's probably both of us being injured, right? After all, he is the disciple of the Demon Poisonfeather, and won't be easy to deal with. "

Nancheng took out a booklet from her bosom and threw it to him. "The sword art manual you want, take a careful look at it. This sword art is not to be trusted either. Don't let anything go wrong in the middle of it."

Wen Wan took it over and casually flipped through it: "I'll try it out once, don't worry."

Nancheng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you really see Pei Yun?"

Wen Wan looked up at him and smiled. "Are you surprised?"

Nancheng nodded. "I don't quite believe it."

Wen Wan looked at the secret manual in his hand, and said in a low voice, "It is a good thing that he can stay in the palace peacefully." When the dust has settled, it would be good for us to bring him back when we have the chance. "

Southern City silently nodded. After a while, they asked, "When are you coming back, Wu Gou? It's not appropriate to stay in the Wen Family, is it? "

Wen Wan gave a faint smile. "It's indeed not appropriate. It's time to go." He closed the book and put it aside. "In a month or two, I'll settle Zi Yu down."

Nancheng let out a long sigh, "If it weren't for him dragging things down, you wouldn't have …" Shut up.

Wen Wan looked around with a bitter smile. "Even without him, my surname is Wen."

Nancheng didn't say anything more. "Then I'll wait for you at Wu Gou's place. Return early and we'll all be waiting for you."

Wen Wan nodded, his eyes filled with an unconcealable tiredness. "Yes, I will."

"Right." Nan City wanted to leave, but turned back and said, "You have to send those two disciples to me, no matter which one is the last, don't think that I will treat him well. "If he doesn't listen, I will definitely not give him face and give him a spanking."

Wen Wan smiled. "That disciple of yours will definitely not disappoint you."

Southern City pursed his lips: "Quickly forget about it, your second brother is such a treasure, how would I dare touch him? I have already thought it through. I would rather choose a boy from the Bai Clan, at least I don't have to give you face, if you don't listen I will beat you up. "

Wen Wan said, "I know you will choose him."

Nan City laughed out loud, then looked at him coldly: "What kind of trash do you think I am, that I haven't gone to see Bai Luo before? If it wasn't for your request, I wouldn't have accepted such a disciple even if I was beaten to death. " He didn't wait for Wen Wan to reply and went out of the window.

Wen Wan's lips curved up into a smile as he picked up the manual and flipped it open.
