Because the medication was used to treat the symptoms, the dark blue and black qi on Lin Rongrong's face receded very quickly. In a short while, her complexion turned slightly pale.
Su Muqing breathed a sigh of relief. "The poison should be gone."
Seeing that Lin Rongrong was out of danger, the Heavenly Mystery Elder asked with a solemn expression, "What happened between you two just now?"
He and Gongsun Zan had arrived at Wuyou Courtyard after they had finished cooking. As a result, the two girls went to find someone and something happened when they returned.
Su Muqing, while using her healing technique to treat the injuries in Lin Rongrong's carotid artery, replied to the Heavenly Mystery Elder, "Someone has infiltrated Wuji Sect. Just now, at the pavilion and rockery, someone wanted to eavesdrop on my conversation with Brother Huo. However, that person should have just arrived. Coincidentally, Xiao Rong and Sister Cui Ping came to look for us, which is why they accidentally made a noise."
The Heavenly Mystery Elder frowned. It must have been due to the destruction of the formation outside in the afternoon that allowed someone to infiltrate. To be able to find their location within Wuji Sect, only a few people in the no-man's-land could achieve this.
"It is my oversight that caused Young Friend Lin to suffer such hardship. I still have a thousand-year-old ginseng in my room. I will go and fetch it for Young Friend Lin to replenish her strength." After speaking, the Heavenly Mystery Elder bowed slightly and then withdrew from Wuyou Courtyard.
Although she had her healing technique and various elixirs from Luo Li, Su Muqing did not refuse the Heavenly Mystery Elder. After all, it was not she who was injured. She would let Xiao Rong decide whether to accept it when she woke up!
Su Muqing repaired Lin Rongrong's artery. "Brother Lu, it's so late. You should go eat first. I'll examine Xiao Rong's fractured bone on her back shoulder. It should heal quickly."
"No need, we'll wait to eat together. Call me if you need help. We are all at the door." Lu Yuzhi nodded and then followed the guards out of the room.
After the men had left the room, Su Muqing took off Lin Rongrong's clothes. On her right back shoulder, there was a bruised and blackened palm print. Judging by the width of the palm, it looked like a woman's?
Su Muqing swallowed two qi and blood replenishing pills. Then, using her detector, she used her healing technique to mend the fractured bone on her back shoulder. While she was unconscious, she also directly opened her Ren and Du meridians.
The injuries to Su Cuiping and Lin Rongrong made Su Muqing think. The physical fitness of these two was too poor. Even for self-preservation, they had to learn some martial arts.
Otherwise, if something happened in the future and she was not around, wouldn't they only have the path of waiting to die?
As those outside waited anxiously, several people walked down the corridor. From the sound, it seemed the Heavenly Mystery Elder had returned with the ginseng.
Accompanying the Heavenly Mystery Elder were Huo Qixiao and Chu Ruoqiao, along with their maids and servants. Hearing that the two of them had also come along, Lu Yuzhi and the others took out their masks and put them on again.
Chu Ruoqiao's face was smiling gently. With an intimate demeanor, she linked arms with the Heavenly Mystery Elder. "Grandpa Tianji, it's so late, where are you taking the thousand-year-old ginseng? Didn't you just say for us to come and eat?"
"Young Friend Lin is injured, so I'm taking the ginseng to replenish her strength." The Heavenly Mystery Elder felt that Su Muqing and Chu Ruoqiao were cousins, so he earnestly wanted the two of them to interact more. Therefore, he had also notified Chu Ruoqiao to come and eat.
Who knew that Huo Qixiao would also follow. Although he and Huo Qiyuan were also cousins, Huo Qiyuan's current status was special...
So he could only speak loudly to remind those in Wuyou Courtyard, "Young Master Huo, I thought you had already finished your meal."
Huo Qixiao felt a surge of speechlessness. What did this old man mean? Didn't he know if someone had sent him food? He lived in Wuji Sect and could only move around a little in his living quarters. Where could he go to eat?
Although dissatisfied, Huo Qixiao still maintained the bearing of a noble young master from a distinguished family. "I have not eaten yet! I heard Ruoqiao say that Senior Tianji was going to treat her to delicacies she had never tasted before. So, I shamelessly followed along."
The Heavenly Mystery Elder muttered softly, "Indeed quite thick!"
The group arrived at the entrance of Wuyou Courtyard. Chu Ruoqiao saw that those people had put on their masks again. "Grandpa Tianji, it's late at night, why haven't they taken off their masks yet?"
Lao Shi Leng Nuo mumbled to himself, "Nonsense! We wear masks because we don't want unrelated people to see us. What does it have to do with it being dark or not?"
Chu Ruoqiao was left speechless by the retort. These country bumpkins were truly uncultured. She pitifully squeezed her handkerchief, looking somewhat hurt. She turned and was about to push open the door of Wuyou Courtyard.
Leng Ren quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Miss, the patient is being treated inside. Please do not disturb."
When Chu Ruoqiao heard what this person said, she looked at Gongsun Zan standing beside her. Then, with a look of innocence, she asked Leng Ren, "But Grandpa Gongsun is right here. Who is treating the patient inside?"
Unexpectedly, Leng Ren replied to her seriously, "It's none of your business!"
Seeing the pretentious number one beauty of Shengjing constantly being put in a difficult position, Lao San couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Pfft..."
Lu Yuzhi glanced at him. He quickly pinched his thigh and suppressed his laughter with great effort. The others also pursed their lips under their masks, afraid of breaking out into laughter.
The group waited for a while longer before Su Muqing finally opened the door and walked out. Perhaps she had used too much healing technique, her complexion was a little pale.
However, in the eyes of Huo Qixiao and Chu Ruoqiao, it was shocking! Could there truly be such an ethereal, transcendent, and peerlessly beautiful woman in this world?
On her small, palm-sized face were a pair of innocent deer-like eyes, a proud, upright nose, ruby-red lips, and fair skin. She was as beautiful as a celestial maiden descending from the ninth heaven.
Chu Ruoqiao looked at the woman before her, whose appearance was somewhat familiar. Connecting it with the appearance of that person, and the possibility of coincidence, she was startled, and her mind went blank.
Could it be... her?
Huo Qixiao was even more mesmerized, his eyes fixed on her. He dropped his folding fan without noticing.
Lu Yuzhi frowned, very displeased with his gaze. He quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Su Muqing, blocking their line of sight.
Lu Yuzhi tucked a strand of hair from her face behind her ear, then asked, "Are you done? How is Miss Xiao Rong?"
Su Muqing nodded and licked her slightly dry lips. "She's fine. Oh, right! We won't be going over later. Sister Cui Ping and I will just eat in the room with her."
Chu Ruoqiao had not yet recovered from the shock of Su Muqing's appearance when she heard her say that Lin Rongrong was fine, which made her even more surprised.
That person was fine? How was that possible?
