Murong Xuanyu smiled and gently tapped her forehead.""Silly girl, you are my unwed wife!”
Yun Xuezhi was completely shocked. An indescribable warmth slowly flowed through her heart.
"Found it, found it!" Mo Yulie suddenly shouted happily. Then, he walked quickly to them with a slightly worn map.
Mo Yulie opened the map and recalled the route he had taken before. He explained carefully," This road is the closest to the snowy mountain. However, if you want to get close to the cliff, you have to climb over the cliff with your bare hands and then cross a few gullies. You have to be extra careful here. There are piranhas in the gullies. Because they are hungry all year round, they are very fierce..."
Mo Yulie seemed to be extremely reluctant to recall that experience, but for Yun Xuezhi, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
He pointed at a circle and sighed."I came back here…I'm still far from the top of the mountain. I don't know what I'll encounter on the road ahead!”
"Is it that dangerous?" Murong Xuanyu frowned." Let me go alone!"”
"No!" Mo Yulie shook his head and rejected the idea." The Ice Lotus blooms once, and each time it blooms, it only lasts for two hours. If the flower withers, it will lose its efficacy…So, Sister-in-law must go with you!"”
Murong Xuanyu looked at Yun Xuezhi worriedly and asked softly,""Can you do it?"
Yun Xuezhi nodded with a smile and reached out to hold Murong Xuanyu's hand.
At this moment, her body seemed to be filled with energy. She was already filled with unspeakable gratitude to this man who had saved her several times. Now, this man was actually willing to risk his life to save her…
If life and death depended on each other, there would be no regrets in this life!
In her previous life, Yu Linglong had placed her hopes on Murong Chuyan, but she had only received endless sorrow. In this life, Yun Xuezhi was able to receive such care from this man. Whether it was sympathy or kindness, she felt that this rebirth was worth it.
Murong Xuanyu saw that she was smiling so easily, but for some reason, Yu Linglong's shadow flashed in his mind. That woman was indifferent to everything, but when she encountered adversity, she was surprisingly stubborn.
The smile on Yun Xuezhi's face was so calm and filled with confidence. Her expression was so similar…
Murong Xuanyu sighed in his heart. His desire to save her grew stronger.
Mo Yulie frowned in dissatisfaction at the two's mutual understanding. He waved his hand between the two and said loudly,"Don't just stand there. Let me finish!”
Only then did Yun Xuezhi come back to her senses. Her face turned red and she stuck out her tongue playfully.
Murong Xuanyu didn't look away. He was still staring at her with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
" This trip will take at least three days. Of course, if you're unlucky, you might not be able to return…" Mo Yulie looked at the two of them and asked tentatively," Have you thought it through?”
Yun Xuezhi and Murong Xuanyu nodded at the same time.
Mo Yulie sighed and said solemnly,""Since all of you have made up your minds, then let me tell you a secret…Ten years ago, the An Residence secretly spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy a withered Ice Lotus Flower. They originally wanted to use it to treat the An family's old lady's terminal illness, but they failed. Of course, this matter was not reported to the court!”
Yun Xuezhi frowned. Divine items like the Ice Lotus were strictly prohibited from being sold in the Eastern Region. Once they were discovered, the entire family would be executed.
"How did you know?" Murong Xuanyu asked in confusion.
"After Old Madam An passed away, my father went to the An residence to mourn. Uncle An was drunk and accidentally revealed it!”
"If we can find the seller, we will definitely find some clues!”Yun Xuezhi's face was solemn.
Mo Yulie thought for a moment and suddenly grinned,""Why don't you guys wait here? I'll go to the An residence to ask Yichen!”
Yun Xuezhi nodded." That's good. I happen to have something to do too. Let's meet here in four hours!"”
After the discussion, Mo Yulie left in a hurry.
Yun Xuezhi turned to Murong Xuanyu and said seriously,""Wait for me here!" That tone of voice had a hint of irrefutable.
Murong Xuanyu had no objections and nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at Yun Xuezhi's back as she quickly left, she suddenly overlapped with another figure.
Why did he feel that this woman's words and actions were so similar to Yu Linglong's? They were clearly two different people…
Could it be that the heavens sensed his infatuation and regret, so they sent such a woman to save him?
Murong Xuanyu shook his head with a bitter smile. He closed his eyes and tried to get rid of these distracting thoughts. However, the expression on his face became more and more sorrowful.
Yun Xuezhi called for a carriage and rushed to the village. Strangely, there was no one guarding the entrance of the village.
Yun Xuezhi sensed that something was wrong and quickly entered the village.
After searching the entire village, she found an old cook in the kitchen.
"Where are the others?" Yun Xuezhi hurriedly asked.
When he saw Yun Xuezhi, the cook was stunned. He immediately knelt in front of her and shouted,"Chief, you're finally back! Everyone in the village went to the snow mountain, but after a few days, there was no news at all…"
"The entire village went?" Yun Xuezhi's heart sank." Didn't I instruct the Second Master to only send two or three people to investigate the situation that day?”
The cook shook his head repeatedly and cried,"That was what the Second Leader had planned, but he heard that the Eastern Region Snow Mountain was not easy to climb. He didn't want the Chief to be anxious, so he thought that with more people, he might be able to find what the Chief wanted earlier, so he led his brothers out…But it's been two or three days, and there's no news at all!”
Yun Xuezhi's expression gradually turned solemn, and she was extremely vexed.
He shouldn't have let his brothers go to the snow mountain in such a hurry. If they lost their lives because of him…
Yun Xuezhi did not dare to think further. She reached out and pulled the cook up. She said solemnly,"Don't worry, I will definitely bring my brothers back safely!”
She comforted the cook a few more times and left the village in a hurry.
When they returned to the Hundred Herbs House, Mo Yulie greeted them happily.
"Sister-in-law, Yichen agreed to help. Let's wait here. Perhaps he'll be here soon!”
Yun Xuezhi smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she felt a little dizzy and quickly sat down.
Seeing her like this, Mo Yulie frowned,""Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for offending you!" After saying that, he reached out and pressed down on Yun Xuezhi's wrist.
Murong Xuanyu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly became nervous when he saw Yun Xuezhi's serious expression. He walked quickly to Yun Xuezhi and asked softly,""Any other questions?"
Mo Yulie's expression became more and more serious. He looked at Yun Xuezhi and shook his head firmly."Sister-in-law, with your current physical condition, it's absolutely impossible for you to climb to the top of the snowy mountain!”
Murong Xuanyu was stunned. He frowned and asked,""Yu Lie, speak more clearly!"
Mo Yulie let out a long sigh and said,"" Sister-in-law's pulse is very weak, and her Qi and blood are seriously insufficient. She must not overwork herself, or else…"
"Young master Mo, you're going to die anyway, right?”Yun Xuezhi interrupted him softly.
Mo Yulie was slightly stunned and lowered his head in silence.
"In that case, why don't I fight to the death? If the heavens don't kill me, they will definitely let me get what I want!”Yun Xuezhi said, pretending to be relaxed.
Mo Yulie looked at Yun Xuezhi blankly, as if he was touched by her words.
"Sister-in-law, wait!" He immediately ran to the pharmacy and rummaged through the cabinets to find something.
After a while, a red silk brocade box appeared in his hand. Mo Yulie let out a sigh of relief and grinned. He quickly handed the brocade box to Yun Xuezhi.
" This is Beihan's thousand-year-old ginseng. I stole it from home. If you take this ginseng, it can temporarily maintain your current condition. However, this ginseng must be taken raw. The taste…" Mo Yulie frowned.
Yun Xuezhi smiled and opened the box. She picked up the ginseng and stuffed it into her mouth.
A strong and bitter taste spread out. Mo Yulie stared at the indifferent Yun Xuezhi with eyes full of admiration.
"Young Master Mo, thank you so much!" After swallowing this ginseng, Yun Xuezhi indeed felt refreshed. Even her body seemed to have become much lighter.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Yu Lie in the future…"
Murong Xuanyu saw the two of them chatting happily.
Mo Yulie had always been eccentric and didn't like to talk to strangers, but he didn't expect this woman to win his favor on their first meeting…It was unbelievable.
At this moment, a slightly lonely figure appeared in the Hundred Herbs House.
An Yichen saw Murong Xuanyu and then looked at Yun Xuezhi. He forced a smile and then turned his head away.
Mo Yulie looked An Yichen up and down in disbelief and said exaggeratedly,""Yichen, don't tell me you have a fever? Why is it so quiet today?"
An Yichen looked unnatural. He lowered his head and took out a note and handed it to Mo Yulie."Here, this is what you want!"
Mo Yulie was overjoyed. He immediately took the note and said with a smile,"As expected of the successor of the An residence. You've settled Uncle An so quickly!”
"Okay, then it's fine. I'll leave first!”After saying that, An Yichen turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey!" Mo Yulie grabbed his arm." Why are you in such a hurry?" You haven't spoken to Sister-in-law yet!"
With that, he forcefully brought An Yichen to Yun Xuezhi and said with a smile,"I was just saying that he's a troublemaker, but now he's completely quiet…Fortunately, Sister-in-law knows him. Otherwise, she would have been deceived by his appearance!”
"Miss, Miss Yun!" Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, An Yichen could only squeeze out a smile and speak softly.
