Chu Yu didn’t get angry either, slowly stood up and exhaled several breaths.
It was good as long as he could get out.
Having found Jinnian, he no longer feared not being able to neutralize the poison in his body.
The old man, holding Chu Yu’s collar, quietly and quickly escaped the cell, and with a few leaps, they were out of the Moon-watching Sect.
It was only then that Chu Yu realized that it was true: there were skies beyond skies, and people beyond people.
He had indeed been too arrogant before.
Chu Yu first took the old man back to the Nanjiang courtyard, only to learn that there was still no news of Yun Jinnian, and Yuwen Ya had taken people into the mountains to search for her, and had not returned for five days now. Chu Yu stood in place, silent for a long time.
He was completely stunned.
"Silly boy, what are you dazing off for!"
Chu Yu raised his head to look at the old man, his eyes reddened, lips trembling.
If anything happened to Jinnian, he swore he would spare no effort to destroy the Moon-watching Sect, without a doubt.
"Brother Chu!" Han Tianci called out softly, his eyes red.
He had obviously cried.
"Brother Chu, take me with you to find Sis, waaah..."
In the end, he was still a seven-year-old child. After the worry and fear, no matter how clever, he was utterly confused.
Especially since it was his dearest sister who had gone missing.
"Tianci, you can’t come with us, you need to stay here safe and sound. I will definitely find your sister!" Chu Yu comforted Han Tianci, worry written all over his handsome and now thinner face.
Meanwhile, the old man was looking at Prince Yanjun, not saying what poison had afflicted him, let alone offering to cure him.
Turning to look at Chu Yu, "Stop dawdling, are you leaving or not? If you’re not leaving, I’m going!"
Chu Yu responded resolutely, masking the emotions in his eyes, patted Han Tianci’s shoulder, and followed the old man.
Han Tianci chased out crying, but Chu Yu and the old man were already out of sight.
Shi Jiayu brought a cloak over for Han Tianci to wear, "Young Master, don’t cry, Miss will surely return safely!"
Such a good girl couldn’t possibly meet with misfortune.
Heaven must be watching over her.
In the valley, Yun Jinnian found the small cauldron and Spiritual Poisonous Insect placed by the pillow, where the insect was sleeping inside. She had been seriously injured, with internal injuries affecting her internal organs and a fractured left leg, without knowing how long she had been staying here.
The elderly couple treated her well, fed her well, though she couldn’t understand what they said. Yet the medicine they gave her contained Lingzhi and ginseng. They seemed to have profound knowledge about herbs.
After lying in bed for five or six more days, Yun Jinnian managed to get out of bed with the help of the old lady. During these days, eating, drinking, and all other bodily functions took place in bed, entirely dependent on the old lady’s care, which made Yun Jinnian feel quite embarrassed.
When the old lady helped Yun Jinnian out of the room, she saw a sea of flowers, butterflies dancing, and hundreds of flowers in bloom – a sight too beautiful to describe.
But, at this moment, she had no mood to appreciate the beauty of the flowers. She was worried about Tianci, worried about Chu Yu, and even more concerned about Prince Yanjun’s illness.
No matter how much she tried to communicate, the elderly couple couldn’t understand her words. The old man had not been seen for several days, presumably busy with something.
Yun Jinnian sat down on a reclining chair, and the old woman went inside to fetch some fruits, telling Yun Jinnian to eat slowly. She then started brewing medicine by the side.
Yun Jinnian ate the fruits, enjoying their sweet and sour taste.
"I need to recover quickly and leave this place!" Yun Jinnian murmured to herself.
However, she heard noises and the sound of horse hooves, and soon saw a group of women in white enter the courtyard, followed by the five elders and Amdo, whom she was familiar with, along with many others she had never seen before.
Yun Jinnian’s anxiety showed as she clenched her fists tightly, looking at the old woman with anger and disappointment in her eyes.
