“Wait!” Su Baiyi waved his hand to interrupt Feng Zuojun’s words, then closed his eyes and frowned to recall: That night he returned to his room and started to rest, lying on the bed when he was suddenly attacked by someone, he caught the person’s hidden weapon, but the hidden weapon was poisoned, the person said this poison was called Sleeping Bone Incense, if you get this poison you will sleep to death…

Sleep to death! Su Baiyi suddenly opened his eyes, incredulously pointed a finger at himself, and asked Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling, “I… fell asleep?”

Feng Zuojun was a bit helpless. “Otherwise, what do you think? You blinked your eyes and you were here?”

“No wonder I feel so comfortable all over.” Su Baiyi stretched lazily, feeling very happy, but suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression on his face stiffened a bit, “Then after I fell asleep, did I do anything excessive?”

Feng Zuojun pointed to his rib area with his left hand, “There might be a few broken bones there.”

Xie Yuling lifted his foot, “My foot is still swollen, although I applied medicine, but 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 mean it.”

“You mean, as long as you fall asleep, you will become like that?” Xie Yuling asked, “Then won’t you become like that every night?”

Su Baiyi sighed, “That’s why I haven’t slept for a long time.”

“If you don’t sleep, won’t you die?” Feng Zuojun was stunned.

“My master taught me a martial art, every night when I use that martial art, I will enter a state of false sleep, barely able to ensure that my mind gets some rest.” Su Baiyi shrugged his shoulders, “Master said I got a strange disease, and later he would help me find a famous doctor to treat it. He used to say that Master Ruxian from Xue Gong had very good medical skills. I came here this time actually wanting Master Ruxian to help me take a look. By the way, second senior brothers, where are we now?”

“This is Yanhui Mountain.” Xie Yuling replied.

“Where is that?” Su Baiyi was even more confused.

“It’s the place a hundred miles away from Xue Gong.” Feng Zuojun laughed.

“What?” Su Baiyi opened his mouth wide, “Why are we here?”

“We are going to investigate a case.” Feng Zuojun put away his bamboo sword, clasped his fists and said, “During this period of time, several masters from various sects in the Jianghu have been killed, their deaths were miserable, the cause of death was mysterious, rumors spread throughout the martial world…”

“Baiyi is ignorant, I never heard that Xue Gong is like Liushanmen in the Jianghu.” Su Baiyi looked blank.

* Liushanmen is a department of detectives

“Xue Gong is located in Shili Langzhen, and has always been indifferent to the affairs of the Jianghu. But since senior sister has such a righteous heart, you and I should follow her.” Feng Zuojun said loudly.

Su Baiyi shrugged his shoulders, “But my master told me to come to Xue Gong, specifically to see Ruxian, I was hoping to find a way to save my master after seeing Ruxian. You can go and investigate the case, Baiyi admires senior brother and senior sister in my heart, but I want to go back to Xue Gong.”

“You make a lot of sense, you don’t have any reason to follow us.” Xie Yuling nodded.

Feng Zuojun didn’t argue, and also nodded. “But you can’t go back.”

“Why?” Su Baiyi was a bit frustrated.

“Because of me.” Nangong Xi’er had already stood behind them at some point.

“Senior sister, I still want to discuss with Master Ruxian how to save my master.” Su Baiyi tried to reason with her.

“No, you’re just afraid of death.” Nangong Xi’er said mercilessly.

“Senior sister, you’re really wronging me by saying that.” Su Baiyi’s face twitched awkwardly, “Master told me to see Master Ruxian, and then find a way to save him. My master always has a perfect plan, so I have to follow his steps, otherwise I might harm him.”

“What if his steps are meant for you to sacrifice yourself?” Nangong Xi’er asked.

Su Baiyi laughed bitterly, “Then you don’t know my master at all, senior sister. How could he do such a thing?”

“Oh?” Nangong Xi’er narrowed her eyes, “Then what kind of person is your master?”

“Once I played chess with him, and when he made a move, he had already thought of the next nine moves. His fate was always within his calculations, and there was never any change.”

Nangong Xi’er suddenly laughed, “But I happen to know one person, who became a change in his life. And today, my existence will also be a change, because I will never let you go.”

“Senior sister, you look very beautiful when you smile, but I’m not fooled by that.” Su Baiyi also smiled, “Your martial arts are very good, I’m sure I can’t beat you, but…”

“My lightness skill is very good.”

“You want to run away?” Nangong Xi’er said faintly.

“Run away? Of course not. If we’re from the same family, how can it be called running away.” Su Baiyi suddenly stopped smiling, slightly moved his body, and ran towards the foot of the mountain, his speed was so fast that Feng Zuojun and Xie Yuling were both surprised.

“What kind of lightness skill is this? It’s faster than our Feng family’s Wind Chanting Step.” Feng Zuojun asked.

“It’s Zouma.” Xie Yuling said solemnly, “Our Xie family’s unique lightness skill.”

“Stop bragging.” Feng Zuojun curled his lips, with a disdainful look on his face, “I’ve seen you use Zouma before, where is it so fast? Unless this kid’s cultivation level is much higher than yours, even without entering the dream state.”

“It is indeed Zouma, but it was improved by a genius young man from the Xie family many years ago, when he added two words behind it, making it the top lightness skill in the world. But he left the Xie family after creating this lightness skill, so the people of the Xie family don’t know this lightness skill.” Nangong Xi’er suddenly said.

“Oh? Which two words?” Feng Zuojun asked.

“Zouma…” Nangong Xi’er leaned slightly forward, “Guanhua.”

A gust of wind blew by, Feng Zuojun reached out and caught a falling leaf, looked at Xie Yuling and smiled, “Senior sister, your lightness skill is exactly the same as that kid Su Baiyi. Of the three of us here, only you, a true Xie family member, don’t know this Zouma Guanhua lightness skill. Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to ask?”

“I am curious, I do want to ask.” Xie Yuling jumped onto the carriage, picked up the water bag and took a sip of water, “But it’s not too late to ask them when they come back later.”

“You’re so sure they can come back? After all, Su Baiyi ran away fast, what if senior sister didn’t catch up with him.” Feng Zuojun mocked.

“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 bit provocative.

Xie Yuling pointed to the back and then to the front, “Because Xue Gong is in the south, but Su Baiyi ran to the north.”
