CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 369

Yun Ran still had no memory of what happened last night, but upon hearing that Nangong Mo was not only injured but also poisoned, she could no longer remain calm. At this moment, she just wanted to see him immediately to be at ease.

"The master is at..."

Yue Ying was just about to reveal Nangong Mo’s whereabouts when Feng Xuan appeared in time to stop her.

Because Nangong Mo had solemnly instructed before leaving that Yun Ran must not be informed about any of this.

Feng Xuan looked at Yue Ying with some reproach, frowning slightly, questioning her with his eyes: Have you forgotten the master’s words? What have you told the princess?

Yue Ying, knowing she was in the wrong, turned her head slightly to avoid Feng Xuan’s gaze.

But she did not regret doing so. If given another chance, she would still tell the princess everything. Even if the master would blame her later, she was willing to take full responsibility.

Seeing her like this, Feng Xuan sighed imperceptibly in his heart, just grateful he arrived in time, preventing Yue Ying from revealing Nangong Mo’s whereabouts.

"Princess, the master is fine now. Please don’t worry. Just rest in the camp, attend the hunt, and enjoy yourself. When the time comes, the master will come to pick you up."

Yun Ran looked at Feng Xuan, her emotions were very complex.

As Nangong Mo’s personal guard, he should naturally be by Nangong Mo’s side, ensuring his safety. His martial arts should be among the best of the Shadow Guards.

Yet, Nangong Mo had left him behind.

Yun Ran stared directly into Feng Xuan’s eyes with an unprecedented seriousness:

"Guard Feng, I know Nangong Mo must have told you something, and I know you have always been loyal to him, never defying his words."

"However, I am not only his princess but also a physician, and my medical skills are fairly competent."

"I don’t know what the poison in him is about, but I know I can help him. He needs me now."

Feng Xuan was moved, a glimmer of hope igniting in his eyes.

The princess is Young Master Mu’s junior apprentice sister. Young Master Mu’s medical skills are exceptional, so the princess’s skills should not be far worse. Perhaps she could...

But ultimately, Nangong Mo’s words outweighed everything. Feng Xuan clenched his teeth, "Princess, please do not worry, just stay here..."

Yun Ran interrupted him directly, "Guard Feng, I don’t think you can bear to see him suffer the pain and torment of the poison, right?"

Feng Xuan’s heart ached, "I, your subordinate..."

"So you should know that I can’t just stay here doing nothing, letting him face the pain alone. Instead of letting me search everywhere with uncertainty, why don’t you honestly tell me where he is now?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in Yun Ran’s words, Feng Xuan was somewhat surprised, "Princess? You..."

"Feng Xuan, things have come to this point. Do you think, given the princess’s character, she would just stay here and wait?"

Yue Ying’s words left Feng Xuan in silence.

If at first, the princess knew nothing, perhaps they could have evaded the issue, but since the conversation had reached this point, given the princess’s temperament...

Thinking of this, Feng Xuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Princess, I will escort you there."

Yun Ran packed her treasure chest as quickly as possible, brought along the rare medicinal herbs she gathered after arriving at Qishan, and rode alongside Feng Xuan into the dawn’s greyness.

...

At this moment, in a cave deep within Qishan.

Ye Wushang leaned against the stone wall with his eyes closed, supporting himself with a sword. Despite wearing a black robe, it was evident that large patches of blood stained the areas around his chest and arms.
