Leaving the inn, until dusk, Su Ying and his group found a house to stay in. Lin Yu stayed awake the whole night, exhausting all of his life's knowledge, only then barely stabilizing Su Ming's body. However...

"Master, how far away are we from our destination? It would be best if the journey does not exceed three days. Otherwise, his body will truly not be able to withstand it. If necessary, it's best to restore some of his internal energy so that he can heal himself."

Su Ying deliberated, her eyes flickering with hesitation. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "No need. From now on, I will take my brother and go ahead at the fastest speed. You can wait for me near the destination. My master doesn't like too many people, so my brother and I will be enough."

Lin Yu could not understand: "Why is it so troublesome? Master, why are you unwilling to restore his inner strength?"

Su Ying's face turned serious: "Don't ask anymore. Anyway, even if he might become a disabled person in the future, I won't restore his internal energy. I will take care of him for the rest of my life."

In my heart, I secretly thought: as long as I can keep my life, I will accompany my older brother for the rest of my life, no, for eternity.

Lin Yu could only swallow the doubts in his heart and remain silent.

Su Ying got up and walked over, sitting down next to Su Ming. After the long journey, even with careful attention to food and medicine along the way, Su Ming's already thin face became even more gaunt. She couldn't help but think that this time, her brother suffered because of her...

There is still some guilt in my heart, but at the same time, there is an unnamed anger. A good breakfast was ruined like this.

As the seductive face flashed through her mind, Su Ying thought to herself: "After this matter is resolved, the Shadow Stabbing Pavilion will no longer be necessary."

After giving Su Ming another deep look, Su Ying left with Lin Yu to arrange their itinerary for the following journey.

Suddenly, at the corner of Su Ming's eyes, the peculiar pattern reappeared, even while she remained unconscious...

On the other side, in the Hidden Dagger Pavilion, the leader, Sha Hualuo, sat on the grass, gazing at the stars. The glistening multitude of stars resembled that person, appearing warm yet impenetrable to anyone trying to enter their heart. Reflecting on everything that happened yesterday, Sha Hualuo clenched their fists tightly. So it turned out that your heart was not made of ice after all, it's just that you refuse to melt for me.

Why do you have to suffer like this? It's obvious that you're hurt so badly, yet you still choose to protect him. But you never give me even a shred of that affection...

Nails pierced into the palm, droplets of blood dripping from the hand, causing pain, but the heart ached even more.

The subordinate asked, "Master, should we hurry back as soon as possible? If we fail to intercept Master Yeya tonight, the Yeya Sect might retaliate against us. It could be dangerous for you to stay outside, Master."

"What are you afraid of?" Sha Hua gazed at the night sky, where the moon was as cool as ice, and her heart felt painfully cold. "He's probably not skilled enough to be a cause for concern. Let's just rest well tonight."

Let the subordinates retreat, and Shahualuo prepared to lie down on the spot.

Suddenly, Shahua Luo felt a scorching sensation in his chest. Reaching into his clothes, he discovered that the hairpin was emitting a strange red light, even brighter than before. Within it, a Mandala Sandalwood flower blossomed, seemingly swaying slightly.

Shahua Lo was overjoyed and said, "Spread the word, there's no need to return for now. We still have other important matters to attend to."

The night had grown late. In a house, the door was quietly pushed open, and a person carrying another in their arms swiftly blended into the darkness of the night. Meanwhile, in another place, the sound of horse hooves broke through the silence of the night as they galloped towards an unknown destination...
