Baili Su and Baili Jingxuan looked outside.
Under the radiance of the sun and moon, a woman in white slowly approached.
Wherever she went, flowers and grass bloomed within a hundred-mile radius, exuding an ethereal aura.
Even the bloodstains that had not been wiped clean vanished as she passed.
The woman in white wore no jewelry, her dark hair casually cascading down, her delicate features becoming the most beautiful focal point of the moment.
Baili Jingxuan was mesmerized.
Baili Su withdrew his gaze and, after the woman in white entered, asked with a gentleman's words, "Miss, may I ask who you are?"
Xuan Ling Nu did not look at anyone, nor did she respond to Baili Su's question.
Instead, she walked directly to the bedside and looked at Ouyang Qinglin and Duan Xifeng, who were unconscious, poisoned, and severely injured.
She raised her arm, and two black pills appeared in her palm. She placed the black pills into the mouths of Ouyang Huayi and Duan Xifeng.
After placing the two pills into their mouths, Xuan Ling Nu waved her hand, and the blood on Ouyang Huayi and Duan Xifeng's chests instantly disappeared.
Their wounds also vanished.
This surprised both Baili Su and Baili Jingxuan, who were standing by.
It was Baili Su, prompted by Baili Jingxuan, who asked again.
"May I ask who this lady is..."
The same question, in the same tone, polite and gentle.
This time, Xuan Ling Nu turned her gaze to Baili Su.
Baili Su was handsome, with refined features.
But in Xuan Ling Nu's eyes, she could perceive the soul within a person's true form.
It was... it was... that person!
At this moment, Xuan Ling Nu finally understood the true reason why her sect leader had stayed here.
So that was it.
"My name is Xuan Ling Nu, may I ask who you are, sir...?"
Having perceived the soul within his true form, Xuan Ling Nu's attitude towards Baili Su improved considerably.
"I am Baili Su, and this is my second brother, Baili Jingxuan."
As Baili Su introduced his brother Baili Jingxuan, Baili Jingxuan, standing beside him, kept staring at Xuan Ling Nu.
His gaze never left her.
Xuan Ling Nu paid no mind to this, but nodded and asked, "I am a friend of Divine Physician Gu, and I have come to your residence at his request."
"I see. Miss Xuan Ling, I pay my respects."
Baili Su responded politely.
A moment later, Ouyang Qinglin and Duan Xifeng woke up.
Xuan Ling Nu remained standing before them.
"Xuan Ling Nu, why... why are you here?"
Ouyang Qinglin was the first to react. As he sat up, he touched his chest.
The injured area was fine.
Duan Xifeng also woke up after Ouyang Qinglin did.
Duan Xifeng's injuries were not severe, but he had been carrying Ouyang Qinglin on the road, which had weakened him.
However, he had also been poisoned.
Duan Xifeng also saw Xuan Ling Nu.
The two of them got out of bed and sat around the table with Xuan Ling Nu, Baili Su, and Baili Jingxuan.
Baili Su, being hospitable, had Baili Jingxuan prepare some refreshments and tea.
"Xuan Ling Nu, did my sister notify you?"
Xuan Ling Nu's arrival also greatly surprised Duan Xifeng.
His expression was the same as Ouyang Qinglin's.
"Sect Leader sent me to treat you. The Sect Leader gave no other instructions."
Saying this, Xuan Ling Nu stood up to leave. "The Sect Leader instructed you to stay well in the Baili residence, go nowhere, and recuperate."
Before leaving, Xuan Ling Nu gave some instructions.
Ouyang Qinglin and Duan Xifeng both stood up.
"Qianying didn't say anything else? What is her plan...?"
Ouyang Qinglin stopped Xuan Ling Nu and inquired.
Duan Xifeng was also curious and leaned in, wanting to hear what Xuan Ling Nu would say.
Xuan Ling Nu was not one for idle talk, and only said, "Nothing."
As she walked out of the main hall of the front courtyard.
Baili Jingxuan followed her out. "Miss Xuan Ling, allow me to escort you."
He said he would escort her, but within a few steps, Baili Jingxuan asked many questions.
"Miss Xuan Ling, I've never met you. Aren't you from the Western Regions?"
Xuan Ling Nu shook her head. "No."
"Then... where are you from? Where do you live now?"
Baili Jingxuan was simple-minded and spoke directly.
He had a good impression of Xuan Ling Nu, but the questions he asked at the moment made Xuan Ling Nu frown.
"Young sir, when I arrived, I smelled a strong scent of blood in the residence. There were no people moving about in the courtyard. I surmise that something major must have happened here. I hope you will focus your thoughts on the residence and your elder brother."
Xuan Ling Nu's words were very tactful.
But her meaning was very clear.
Baili Jingxuan's expression changed instantly.
He quickly cupped his hands in salute and apologized, "Miss Xuan Ling, I apologize for my rudeness. Miss Xuan Ling, please take care."
He would avenge his father's death.
And at this moment, he had momentarily lost his senses.
What Miss Xuan Ling said was very true.
Before his family's revenge was achieved, how could he have the nerve to speak of anything else?
Was he worthy of being his father's son like this!
Seeing that Baili Jingxuan showed remorse, Xuan Ling Nu did not say much more.
She was a cultivator and her heart was already set; others had no effect on her.
Watching Xuan Ling Nu's receding figure.
Baili Jingxuan was momentarily dazed.
With their injuries healed and after Baili Su had people prepare various medicinal meals,
Duan Xifeng and Ouyang Qinglin recovered very quickly.
After waking up, Duan Xifeng and Ouyang Qinglin also informed Baili Su of Gu Qianying's whereabouts.
And whether she was in danger at the moment.
"What? That Song Gang has taken a fancy to her?"
Baili Su, usually gentle, became somewhat cold-eyed.
Song Gang was over fifty years old, old enough to be Gu Qianying's father.
"How detestable! That old scoundrel Song Gang actually wants to take Divine Physician Gu as a concubine! Does he even know what shame is?"
Baili Jingxuan was very angry.
Song Gang, that despicable old man, was truly beyond contempt.
Compared to the anger of Baili Su and Baili Jingxuan, Ouyang Qinglin and Duan Xifeng were not as angry.
They were well aware of Gu Qianying's capabilities.
They both understood the reasons why Gu Qianying had to stay in the Song family.
It was just... they never expected to be ambushed by Song Gang's men!
"Jingxuan, Song Panyang, who frequents brothels the most, go and capture him."
"Capture who?"
Baili Jingxuan didn't hear clearly for a moment.
Baili Su looked at him and repeated.
"Song Panyang!"
All's fair in war!
That night, Baili Jingxuan, dressed in a night-traveling outfit, made his move.
Song Panyang was in a brothel, embracing a top courtesan, enjoying himself in a gentle embrace.
Suddenly... the door to the private room was kicked open from the outside.
A shadowy figure wielding a long sword rushed in.
Song Panyang was startled, and the woman in his arms screamed in fright.
As the sword landed on Song Panyang's neck, he was so terrified that he wet himself. "Spare me, good sir!"
That night, Song Panyang was knocked unconscious and captured.
The next day.
Outside the gates of the Song residence...
Baili Su, dragging Baili Jingxuan in a sack, approached the gate...
