When she woke up, Lu Jin opened her misty eyes, and the scene in front of her made her feel dazed.
She shook her head and remembered the past events one by one.
This room is Xiang Hongji's boudoir, and she once lived here for a while.
I lifted up the quilt and sat up from the bed. The sunlight coming in from the door was unbiased. It should be noon.
"I've only slept for an hour. Why do I feel so hungry?" Lu Jin muttered to himself.
"Sister, are you awake?" Xiang Hongji happened to walk in.
Lu Jin asked anxiously: "That Dark Moon Hall assassin, I saw that Brother Baili has tapped her acupuncture points. She should be imprisoned now."
"Afraid that she would commit suicide, Brother Bailihuan even locked her up with an iron chain. This woman has a very strict mouth. She has not said a word for the past day." Xiang Hongji sat down next to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was shocked: "Sister, are you confused? It's just noon, why has a day passed?"
Xiang Hongji stretched out her palm to test the temperature of Lu Jin's forehead: "It's normal. Why are you talking nonsense? You must have been confused by sleep. Isn't it a whole day since you slept from yesterday morning to today's noon?"
"What? I slept all day?" It was Lu Jin's turn to be shocked.
Xiang Hongji hugged Lu Jin lovingly: "I know, you must have traveled all night to inform us. We are exhausted on the road. Brother Baili also told me that you will be fine if you have a good sleep."
"Are you hungry? Sister will prepare a meal for you." Xiang Hongji took her hand.
Hearing that he had slept all day, Lu Jin said embarrassedly: "I'm hungry, my stomach is growling."
"Just wait, I'll be here soon." Xiang Hongji stood up and walked out of the room with a smile.
With little effort, Xiang Hongji brought a bowl of chaos, two plates of green vegetables and a plate of roast chicken on a tray, and Baili Huan also followed.
The three of them sat down. Seeing that there was only a pair of chopsticks, Lu Jin hesitated and said, "Why, don't you want to eat?"
"We have all eaten. You eat yours. Brother Bailihuan wants to ask you something by the way." Xiang Hongji brought all the food to Lu Jin.
Someone was watching, and Lu Jin was a little cautious about eating. Even though he was hungry, he didn't dare to eat.
"How did Miss Lu Jin know that she was the assassin of Dark Moon Hall? Could you please tell me?" Baili Huan asked kindly.
Lu Jin was eating and talking, and told the two of them everything she saw and heard in the woods, and finally said: "That He Qiaocong walked on the front foot, and I chased on the back foot. After two nights of not sleeping, I still let her run in front. .”
Baili Huan thought deeply: "So, Dark Moon Hall's kung fu is indeed unique."
"How?" Xiang Hongji didn't know what Bailihuan was talking about.
Baili Huan glanced at Lu Jin and said softly: "Sister Lu Jin didn't sleep for two nights, and that He Qiaocong, too, was running around with extreme lack of sleep. In the end, sister Lu Jin slept like..."
"Like a sleeping baby." Bailihuan paused and said.
He originally wanted to describe Lu Jin as sleeping like a dead pig, but he felt it was inappropriate so he changed his words temporarily.
Although she didn't say it out loud, Xiang Hongji could guess what the brief pause meant and couldn't help but smile.
Bailihuan continued: "That's not the case with He Qiaocong. No matter when I go in, she wakes up immediately. I am ashamed of myself for being so alert."
"What are you going to do with her, brother?" Lu Jin asked.
"I plan to let her go." Bailihuan said calmly.
Lu Jin was surprised: "Letting her go for no reason is too easy for her. No matter what, Dark Moon Hall must provide money to redeem her."
Baili Huan waved her hand: "Absolutely not, it would be more uncomfortable than killing her. As a top killer, it is already very embarrassing if the mission fails. If you let a fellow disciple take you back, you will not be able to hold your head up from now on. I guess I just let her out. , Dark Moon Hall will never hear news about her in the future. Rather than letting her classmates laugh at her, it would be better to go away and live in seclusion."
"Furthermore, she only used money to do things. The real mastermind behind the scenes is the Poison Sect, which has no direct relationship with Dark Moon Hall." Bailihuan said about the assassination of him
He Qiaocong was not angry.
"Is there any evidence?" Lu Jin asked after hearing what they said in the woods.
Xiang Hongji smiled and said: "The poison hidden in the cracks of He Qiaocong's fingernails comes from the Poison Sect. It is a highly toxic drug that seals the throat upon seeing blood. I have known him there for many years."
"That's it." Lu Jin nodded.
Baili Huan stood up and said, "Sister Lu Jin, eat slowly. I won't disturb you. I haven't seen you eat much for such a long time. Don't come to Wu Sect and make you hungry and thin again. It's time for your elder brother Gu to blame me." "
"I'll come over and clean up later." Xiang Hongji smiled and went out with Bailihuan.
Seeing that no one was staring at her, Lu Jin reached out and grabbed the roast chicken and started to eat it without restraint.
Bailihuan, accompanied by Xiang Hongji, went to the room where He Qiaocong was imprisoned. He stretched out his hand to loosen the chains that bound her, and then untied the acupuncture points that sealed He Qiaocong.
He Qiaocong was puzzled and looked at the open door, then at the two people who were looking as if nothing had happened.
"You guys, are you going to let me go?" He Qiaocong was afraid of being deceived.
Baili Huan nodded: "We have no grievances, it's just the Poison Sect who is behind it. I won't make it difficult for you. Let's go. From now on, you should be a good person and don't do anything that is harmful to nature or justice."
He Qiaocong moved a few steps towards the door, making sure he really wanted to let her go. Without saying a word, he stepped out of the room and climbed over the wall to escape.
"Aren't you afraid that she will come back secretly for revenge?" Xiang Hongji was slightly worried.
Baili Huan smiled heartily and said, "I know this kind of people very well. They don't distinguish between good and evil, but they are actually very principled in doing things. For her, she may never step foot in the witch sect in her whole life."
"I hope this is the case, thanks to your good words." Xiang Hongji also hopes that this is the case.
In the next few days, Xiang Hongji was on tenterhooks, fearing that He Qiaocong would re-infiltrate the Wu Sect for revenge.
It was calm for a while, and nothing happened. As usual, she felt relieved.
Bailihuan was still the same as usual, going to the hospital to see patients from time to time. Out of worry about unknown changes, Xiang Hongji thought about it all day long.
When I accidentally saw Lu Jin practicing martial arts while wielding a shield and scimitar, I had an idea and finally came up with a solution.
At the place where the patient's pulse is taken, an iron plate is placed with a small hole underneath. The patient's wrist needs to be stretched through the small hole to take the patient's pulse.
In this way, without delaying medical treatment, if someone wants to plot against the doctor, they have to go through some troubles to give people enough time to take precautions, thereby ensuring the doctor's safety.
In addition to accompanying Bailihuan to see patients, helping him boil medicine and weigh medicinal materials, Xiang Hongji spent the rest of the time practicing invisibility with Lu Jin.
This time, Lu Jin has made great progress. Once hidden, it will be difficult to find her during the day without careful identification.
The reunion was always short-lived. Bailihuan had to travel far away for something, so Xiang Hongji took the initiative to accompany her, but Lu Jin had to reluctantly separate from them.
After experiencing a lot, Lu Jin gradually grew up.
She and Xiang Hongji hugged each other and said goodbye. Although she felt empty and uncomfortable in her heart, she did not shed any tears.
After traveling around the mountains and rivers, Lu Jin inquired and came to Luoya Bay.
The river in Luoyawan is winding, with a lot of water, many bridges and narrow lanes.
She led the horse to look for the perfume shop run by Lu Chuan and his wife. As she was walking, someone spoke behind her.
"Master Liu, you bought so many vegetables today, are there any customers in your perfume shop?"
"No, the shopkeeper and his wife are very kind to us. We saw that they were lonely, so we bought wine and meat to get together to make the two of them happy."
"Walk slowly."
"You come often."
Lu Jin followed the clerk to a store. The words "Perfume Shop" were written on the plaque. The location was the store run by Lu Chuan and his wife.
Unable to suppress her inner impulse, Lu Jin took a few steps forward and then stopped.
"Do you really want to go in?"
"Once we go in, we can only wait for the arrival of Gu Shengchao."
"Instead of that, it would be better to go to the Serang Country to see it."
Lu Jin was tangled and struggling in her heart.
In the end, the courage of the newborn calf, which is not afraid of tigers, prevailed.
She looked at the perfume shop with nostalgia, then rode straight towards the country of Siren.
