"Wait!" Su Baiyi interrupted Feng Zuojun with a palm, then closed his eyes and frowned as he recalled: that night he went back to his room to rest, and when he was lying on the bed he was suddenly attacked. He caught the man's hidden weapon, but it was poisoned. The man said that the poison was called Mian Gu Xiang, and if you are poisoned by it you will fall into a deep sleep...
Fell asleep! Su Baiyi suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at himself in disbelief, and asked Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling: "I... fell asleep?"
Feng Zuojun was somewhat helpless: "Do you think you can get here just by opening and closing your eyes?"
"No wonder I feel so comfortable all over." Su Baiyi stretched and felt very happy. But suddenly he seemed to think of something and his expression froze. "Did I do anything excessive after I fell asleep?"
Feng Zuojun pointed to his ribs with his left hand and said, "Maybe a few bones there are broken."
Xie Yuling lifted her feet: "My feet are still red and swollen. Although I applied medicine, it still hurts when I walk."
"This..." Su Baiyi scratched his head, "It's all the fault of that guy who poisoned me. I didn't do it on purpose."
"You mean, as long as you fall asleep, you will become like that?" Xie Yuling asked, "Doesn't that mean you will become like that every night?"
Su Baiyi sighed: "So I haven't slept for a long time."
"Won't you die if you don't sleep?" Feng Zuojun was stunned.
"My master taught me a martial art. Every night when I practice that martial art, I will enter a state of dozing, which can barely ensure that my mind can rest." Su Baiyi spread his hands, "Master said that I have a strange disease and he will help me find a famous doctor to treat it. He has always said that Mr. Rusheng in the academy has good medical skills. This time I came here, I actually want Mr. Rusheng to help me. By the way, two senior brothers, where are we now?"
"This is Yanhui Mountain." Xie Yuling replied.
"Where is that?" Su Baiyi was even more confused.
"It's a place one hundred miles away from the academy." Feng Zuojun said with a smile.
"What?" Su Baiyi opened his mouth wide, "Why are you here?"
"We have to investigate the case." Feng Zuojun put away his bamboo sword and clasped his hands together, saying, "During this period of time, several masters from various sects in the martial arts world have been killed. Their deaths were tragic and the cause of death was unclear. Rumors abounded throughout the martial arts world..."
"I am ignorant and have never heard that the academy is an existence like the Six Gates in the world." Su Baiyi looked confused.
"The academy is located in Shili Langyao and has never been involved in the affairs of the martial arts world. But since senior sister has such a sense of justice, you and I should follow her." Feng Zuojun said in a loud voice.
Su Baiyi spread his hands: "But my master asked me to come to the academy to see the Confucian Sage. I was hoping to find a way to save my master after seeing the Confucian Sage. If you want to investigate the case, go ahead. Baiyi admires my senior brothers and sisters psychologically, but I want to go back to the academy."
"What you said makes sense. There is really no reason for you to follow us." Xie Yuling nodded.
Feng Zuojun did not refute, but nodded and said, "But you can't go back."
"Why?" Su Baiyi was a little overwhelmed.
"Because of me." Nangong Xier had stood behind them without them knowing.
"Senior sister, I'm still waiting to discuss with Mr. Rusheng about saving our master." Su Baiyi intended to convince others with reason.
"No, you are just afraid of death." Nangong Xier said mercilessly.
"Sister, you are really wronging me by saying that." Su Baiyi's face twitched in embarrassment. "Master told me to go see Mr. Rusheng and then find a way to save him. My master has always been very good at planning, so I must follow his steps, otherwise I might end up hurting him."
"What if the pace he asked you to take is to sacrifice yourself?" Nangong Xier asked.
Su Baiyi laughed dumbly: "So, Senior Sister, you don't even know my master. How could someone like him do such a thing?"
"Oh?" Nangong Xier narrowed her eyes, "Then what kind of person is your master?"
"When I played chess with him, he had already thought of the next nine moves when he made one move. His fate was always within his calculations, and there was never any variable."
Nangong Xier suddenly smiled: "But I just know that there is a person who has become a variable in his life. And today, my existence will also become a variable, because I will not let you go no matter what."
"Sister, you look very pretty when you smile, but I don't buy it." Su Baiyi also smiled, "You are very good at martial arts, I definitely can't beat you, but... I am very good at Qinggong."
"You want to escape?" Nangong Xier said quietly.
"Escape? I definitely won't run away. This is a matter between my senior and junior sisters, how can I run away?" Su Baiyi's smile suddenly disappeared. He moved his body slightly and ran down the mountain. His speed surprised Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling.
"What kind of light skill is this? Is it faster than our Feng family's Yinfeng Step?" Feng Zuojun asked.
"It's horse riding." Xie Yuling said in a deep voice, "Our Xie family's unique light skill."
"Stop bragging." Feng Zuojun curled his lips with disdain, "It's not like I haven't seen you use the walking horse before, how can it be so fast? Unless this kid's cultivation is much higher than yours even if he doesn't enter the dream state."
"It is indeed Zou Ma, but many years ago a talented young man from the Xie family improved this set of lightness skills and added two words at the end, making it the best lightness skills in the world. However, he left the Xie family after he created this lightness skill, so no one in the Xie family knows this lightness skill." Nangong Xier suddenly said.
"Oh? Which two words?" Feng Zuojun asked.
"Go..." Nangong Xier leaned forward slightly, "Look at the flowers."
A gust of wind blew by, Feng Zuojun stretched out his hand to catch a fallen leaf, glanced at Xie Yuling, and smiled: "Senior sister's body movement is exactly the same as that of Su Baiyi. Among the three people here, you are the only one who is a true member of the Xie family who doesn't know this kind of body movement. Aren't you curious? Don't you want to ask?"
"I am indeed curious and I really want to ask." Xie Yuling jumped onto the carriage, picked up the water bag and drank a sip of water. "It won't be too late to ask after they come back."
"Are you so sure that they can come back? After all, Su Baiyi ran away quickly. What if senior sister didn't catch up with him?" Feng Zuojun said sarcastically.
"No, they will definitely come back." Xie Yuling looked up at the sky.
"Actually, I've always been curious, Xie Yuling, where does your confidence come from? Why do you think they will definitely come back?" Feng Zuojun's tone was a little provocative.
Xie Yuling pointed to the back, then pointed to the front: "Because the academy is in the south, but Su Baiyi ran to the north."
