MO Yuan’s attitude confirmed Xuanyuan Ce’s guess. Even though his heart was in turmoil, he was still shocked by the words “seriously injured”.
He tried his best to calm down and suggested, “Bring the person to my tent.” MO Yuan stood still.
If not for the fact that it was too late and her master’s condition was not good, she would definitely have immediately brought her away from the cliff ridge and away from Xuanyuan Ce. How could she be willing to let Ji Luo lie on the bed that Xuanyuan Ce had slept in?
She had embarrassed Xuanyuan Ce time and time again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Chu Feng opened his mouth to scold her.
Xuanyuan Ce glanced over and swallowed the “insolence” in his throat.
“Pack up a few tents and come out, ” Xuanyuan Ce instructed.
Not long after, the tents were tidied up. MO Yuan carried someone into one of the tents.
Xuanyuan Ce followed her, but MO Yuan refused to let him enter. He was not angrv and staved outside the tent.

Those who didn’t know better would think that he was interested in MO Yuan.
Looking at Shen Yijia, who was standing rooted to the ground, Song Jingchen asked, “Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Shen Yijia scratched her head. It was strange. When she heard from the old woman that she looked like Ji Luo, she was filled with curiosity about this unfamiliar woman.
However, she did not really want to look at her when she was really in front of her. Shen Yijia could not figure out why she had so many emotions for a strange woman. She pursed her lips and changed the topic. “I’m so hungry.”
Not only was she hungry, but Lin Shao was also hungry. However, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he did not dare to say anything.
The five thousand people definitely had to eat. After asking around, they found out that there were cooking utensils here. Song Jingchen got someone to bring water for Shen Yijia and Lin Shao to bathe in and personally cooked a pot of shredded chicken porridge.
When the two of them came out of the shower, the porridge was ready.
He cooked a large pot, and even You Yi had a share. Naturally, he did not forget to get someone to send two bowls to MO Yuan. As for Xuanyuan Ce, everyone here was his subordinate. It was impossible for him to starve.
Coincidentally, Lin Miaomiao woke up. The few of them gathered around and ate happily.
All of Xuanyuan Ce’s attention was on the tent, so he did not realize that he seemed to have been ostracized.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Yijia entered her tent and went to sleep.
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, the sky was clear.
Shen Yijia was woken up by a commotion. When she opened her eyes, she didn’t see Song Jingchen. She frowned and quickly put on her clothes and went out.
Outside the tent, Lin Miaomiao was squatting alone. Seeing her come out, she quickly ran over. “Sister-in-law, you’re awake.”
After sleeping, she looked much better than yesterday, but her face was still pale.
Shen Yijia rubbed her head and looked at the soldiers walking past in a hurry.
She asked, “What are they doing? Also, where did my husband go?”
“Brother South Wind’s army encountered people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. Many of them were poisoned. Sister MO Yuan wrote down the instructions for an antidote, but there were no herbs. Brother Song brought people to look for herbs.”
“It seems to be a little serious. It was too late to buy medicine. Many people died,” Lin Miaomiao explained worriedly.
Shen Yijia rubbed her chin. South Wind must have encountered the people sent by the Valley of Heavenly Secrets to capture them.
“Where’s MO Yuan?” she asked.
“She’s bandaging the injured soldiers. I’ll take you there.”
The two of them went to the place where the injured soldiers were placed.
The number of poisoned people was more than Shen Yijia had imagined. More than ten tents were lined up, and the ground was filled with soldiers.
Their hands and feet were bound by straps, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth. Their lips were purple, and their faces were filled with pain. They could not move and could only twist their bodies.
Whether it was the Heart-Devouring Poison or the useless emperor’s poison, they would torture people first before killing them. It seemed that this time, it was the same. What kind of fetish did the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets have?
Seeing that a few people in front of her suddenly stopped moving, Shen Yijia frowned. Xuanyuan Ce had sent these people into the mountains to find her.
In other words, could it be assumed that these people had become like this because of her?
It was rare for Shen Yijia to feel so guilty. She pursed her lips and looked up for MO Yuan.
Xuanyuan Ce entered the mountains with his injuries. There was a doctor beside him and MO Yuan. The two of them shuttled back and forth among the injured soldiers.
You can’t make bricks without straw. MO Yuan had no choice but to bandage those people’s external injuries first.
After dealing with one of them, MO Yuan was about to turn around to look at the next one when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Miss?”
Shen Yijia’s expression was serious. What was the use of treating these external injuries? They would still die if the poison was not cured. She did not say anything and pulled MO Yuan away.
“Miss.” MO Yuan vaguely guessed something.
Shen Yijia pulled him aside. Seeing that there was no one around, she said, “I have four drops of spiritual liquid. Is that enough?”
There were hundreds of people who had been poisoned. It was unknown how much spiritual liquid each of them needed to drink. It was naturally not enough to detoxify the poison. Shen Yijia wanted to ask if she could buy them more time.
At least until her beautiful husband brought back the herbs.
MO Yuan knew how powerful the spiritual liquid was, so there was naturally no problem. However, this way, her master’s face…
“Yes.”
A hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded. Shen Yijia turned around and her pupils constricted when she saw who it was.
What kind of face was that?
The crisscrossing scars covered her entire face like a net. The scars on Feng Manman’s face simply paled in comparison with hers.
Ji Luo’s gaze landed on her face without blinking.
Looking at the baby in her memory who had already grown into a slender young lady, she held her breath. Tears flashed in her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
Noticing the fear in Shen Yijia’s eyes, she wanted to smile, but her facial muscles had long died. She could not do it at all. She quickly turned her head away and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Did I scare you?
Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of scaring people away, but it could not hide the hoarseness in it. It even trembled.
Even though she had never looked in the mirror, she knew that she probably looked like a demonic ghost.
It was her fault for being too anxious. She only wanted to see her daughter as soon as possible and had forgotten about something else.
Fifteen minutes ago.
Ji Luo woke up from her sleep and looked at the unfamiliar environment and the whip wounds on her body.
She vaguely guessed that she was no longer in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
After all, if she was still in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, they would not have gotten someone to apply medicine on her, let alone bring her out of the forbidden area.
Apart from her daughter, whom they had captured, she could not think of anyone else who would bring her out of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. Hence, she rushed out and happened to hear Shen Yijia’s question.
Shen Yijia blinked, not knowing why.
This was the first time she had seen this woman, but the woman apologized. She suddenly felt endless grievances.
Apart from feeling aggrieved, there was also heartache.
It was very, very painful.
Shen Yijia did not know why she felt aggrieved or why her heart hurt. In short, she felt terrible.
She subconsciously asked, “Does it hurt?”
“It must have hurt a lot when vou were iniured. right?” she thought.
Ji Luo’s body trembled. She wanted to say that it didn’t hurt, but she realized that she couldn’t breathe.
After all, she had just been tortured and it had taken all her strength to find this place. In her excitement, she fell to the ground.
Shen Yijia was shocked and quickly wanted to catch her, but a purple figure was already one step ahead of her..
