The rescuer was none other than Tie Hailan.
This kind of accidental coincidence was truly uncanny.
But ever since Su Lang and the others had pursued Liang Zhichen and Dong Huiying, He Su felt as if her world had collapsed.
She was like a piece of wood, silent and expressionless, neither joyful nor angry, with a stupefied look in her eyes every day, as if she had become a fool.
And she started having continuous nightmares.
In her dreams, she saw Phoenix Blood die, crying and shouting, begging for Phoenix Blood to come back to life, but her cries and shouts could not garner any mercy, nor could they alter the trajectory of the dream.
And when she awoke from the nightmares, she felt so empty.
From then on, in this world, there was no longer such a man.
No longer... that man with a dash of cinnabar between his eyebrows, wandering and flirtatious, handsome and wicked.
"I still can’t understand it," inside the carriage, Tie Hailan looked at He Su, who was wrapped in bandages, her body rotting away inch by inch. It was unclear what strange illness she had, but whenever her skin decayed to a certain degree, it began to heal gradually.
"Who could have such a ruthless heart to harm you so viciously?" Tie Hailan couldn’t bear it, in her view, He Su had no significant flaws, she was just a bit stubborn, but a few days prior, when she passed through the wilderness and saw He Su with hands and feet bound by rope, her body emitting the stench of rotting flesh, Tie Hailan nearly had her soul scared out of her.
Truly... He Su’s appearance at that time, with half of her face decayed and the other half not, had it not been for recognizing the unblemished half of the face as He Su’s, she almost thought she had encountered a ghost.
He Su’s expression was distant. She remembered that night, the girl had stuffed a handful of pills into her mouth, followed by endless torture. It was worse than death, and ever since being rescued by Tie Hailan, the two of them had sought some "Doctors," but even those "Doctors" were at a loss for He Su’s bizarre skin condition.
She pinched her fingertip.
Had it not been for her, Phoenix Blood wouldn’t have gone to Qingfeng Prefecture, nor would he have become a comatose living dead because of Aunt Zhao, and even later... Aunt Zhao had tied him to a horse and thrown him away. So many days had passed, even if it was just from starvation, he could have been starved to death, not to mention the dangers of the mountains, where venomous snakes and ferocious beasts could claim lives.
She knew that she herself was at fault, but Dong Dabao couldn’t be entirely blameless either, she wasn’t innocent, was she!
He Su came back to her senses, her gaze coolly drifting towards Tie Hailan, the icy look in her eyes causing an inexplicable chill down Tie Hailan’s spine.
"Hai Lan, how much longer until we return to Taihang Town?"
Tie Hailan estimated, "Another two or three days."
He Su lowered her gaze, but within her eyes flickered a venomous black gleam.
Liang Shujun (Phoenix Blood), whom everyone thought was ’dead,’ was currently sitting in a carriage.
He found himself treated like a prisoner at the bottom of the ranks, constantly watched by others, even having someone follow him when he got out of the carriage to relieve himself.
Why were these people so wary of him?
Yun Ge and Liang Shujun were in the same carriage. She glanced faintly at Liang Shujun, her heart unable to settle on his identity. It wasn’t that she was overly suspicious, but since Purple chervil had left the Capital, if she wanted to survive in that place where people were virtually cannibalistic, she had to be dubious! Otherwise, she feared she wouldn’t even know how she died before someone took her life secretly.
