Hesitate

  She knew that the Joe Mingying she loved was no longer in this world. However, looking at the face that was almost identical to the one in her memory, she still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Joe Mingying in front of her was the reincarnation of the person she loved.

  If Qiao Mingyue could really be reborn in this world, it would be a blessing in disguise!

  But is there really so many rebirths in the world?! I must be thinking too much! As they say, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

  Do not hear, do not think, do not look, do not ask, and the heart will be calm.

  The one she loved had long left this world, for her own sake as well as for Qiao Mingying's, she shouldn't be so persistent.

  Let bygones be bygones!

  "Ah, I see, Ruri!" Fūriku finally understood and smiled slightly, nodding his head. "But, Ruri, why did you say that about Kyōmei? He's... quite dangerous?"

  "He's not as simple as he looks on the surface! Don't let 'old feelings' cloud your judgment!" Lianying slightly furrowed her brow, coldly saying, "If you want to leave the Zitan Secret Manor early, you should focus!"

  Seeing Lili's unwilling expression, Fengri Xi had a lot of questions, but didn't have the nerve to ask them out loud. Thinking that Lili's words made sense, he stopped thinking about it and focused on recovering from his injuries.

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yunbo =====================================

  Ling Xuan was right, after Feng Ri Xi borrowed the help of the purple sandalwood secret mansion's spring water to cultivate her mind and body, when she returned to reality, she found that only two hours had passed.

  She felt a sense of lightness and ease throughout her body, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. This Purple Sandalwood Secret Palace was indeed a spiritual object, and unexpectedly, the injuries inside her body had been repaired to about 70-80% in such a short period of time.

  He heavily spat out the turbid air inside his body, and with a refreshing breeze, he changed into a new set of clothes. He immediately withdrew the seal and stepped out of the carriage house.

  Feng Lixi, who was still unclear about the situation, was immediately bumped into by a flustered guard. Looking up, Feng Lixi remembered that this guard was the one who had been following Qiao Mingying at the time, and seemed to be called Mo Wang.

  It seems she is indeed still in the Hou Wang Fu.

  But as a guard serving the Marquis, why are you so flustered?!

  Is Qiao Mingyue in trouble?!

  Thinking of this possibility, Feng Li Xi couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

  Even though she knew that the two Qiao Mingyue were not the same person, she still couldn't help but want to care for him.

  "Excuse me, why are you so flustered?" Feng Lixi grabbed Mo Wang's arm and asked with concern.

  "His Lordship's illness has flared up again, I was just about to go find the imperial physician." Mo Wang furrowed his brow anxiously and said.

  "What's wrong with him?!" Feng Li was puzzled and asked, "What are his symptoms?! Take me to see him!"

  "You can also see a doctor?" Mo Wang looked at Feng Rixi with an expression of disapproval, somewhat impatiently saying, "Quickly move aside, don't delay the young master's treatment time!"

  After finishing speaking, Mo Wang forgot and no longer paid attention to Feng Rixi, and immediately walked straight out of the mansion...

  Since he couldn't get the answer he wanted, Fengli Xi didn't rush, and immediately released a strand of divine consciousness to search up and down, inside and out, around the Hou Wang Fu. After confirming the location of Qiao Mingying's bedroom, he walked over without hesitation...

  Before he could even reach the front door, Feng Ri Xi was stopped by Mo Shi who was guarding the entrance.

  "Miss, this isn't a place for you to come. Why don't you go back to your own room?" Mo Shi said calmly, raising his eyes to look at Feng Ri Xi.

  "Let me go in!" Feng Li Xi raised an eyebrow and said with a tone that did not allow for any questioning.

  She was originally a cultivator, and with her injuries gradually healing, the spiritual energy in her body slowly filled up, freely flowing inside and out, revealing an air of immortality and elegance.

  In his words and deeds, the spiritual power within him inevitably revealed a bit. This simple sentence actually shocked a wave of spiritual fluctuations within a radius of ten meters.

  "You......you......" Even Mo Shi, who had experienced many things, was stunned by this strange phenomenon.

  As far as he knew, the strange phenomenon just now was absolutely not something an ordinary person could have pulled off.

  It had long been heard that outside their small world, there was a great world called Zhu Yinjie where one could cultivate to become an immortal. The people there were born with the bones of immortals and could fly through the sky and escape from the earth without any difficulty. Occasionally, immortals from that great world would come to their small world. He vaguely remembered that several years ago, he had seen an immortal in the imperial palace, and the effect produced by the immortal's magic was similar to that of this stunning woman in front of him.

  Could it be that this girl... she's also from the Zhūyǐn Realm?!

  If she is indeed a fairy from the Zhu Yin realm, then perhaps the young master can be saved!

  "Let me go in! Maybe I can cure him!" Fengli Xi spoke again.

  If Mo Shi still wants to stop her, then don't blame her for being impolite.

  Unexpectedly, Mo Shi didn't stop him this time. Instead, he pushed open the red wooden carved door and let Feng Li Xi enter voluntarily.

  Seeing is believing, no more hesitation, without asking much, she lifted her skirt and stepped into the room.

  As he walked into the house, a faint scent wafted up to his nostrils. Feng Li stopped in his tracks at once.

  This scent, it seems like she's smelled it somewhere before.

  But for a moment, I couldn't recall where I had smelled it before.

  This smell, by all accounts ordinary, yet somehow made Feng Zhi feel uneasy.

  Something's off, but Feng Xue'er couldn't quite put her finger on it for a moment.

  Shaking her head, since she couldn't think it through for the time being, Feng Li Xi didn't think about it anymore. Ignoring the doubts in her heart, she walked towards the inner room once again.

  She was shocked when she saw the person lying on the bed.

  Qiao Mingying was now lying weakly on the carved hundred-son Liang bed, her originally fair skin seemed to be stained with ink, and her whole body was pitch black. The meridians in her body were like they had been injected with a swelling agent, bulging out of her skin in a terrifying manner.

  It seemed as if he had sensed someone's arrival, and Qiao Mingying, who had been in a semi-comatose state all along, slowly opened his eyes. After seeing the person clearly, he immediately became angry and pointed at Feng Lixi, shouting, "Who let you in? Get out! You..."

  Before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Seeing this, Fengli Xi didn't get annoyed and immediately quickly stepped forward, with one hand supporting the weak Qiao Mingying, saying lightly, "Don't be anxious, let me take a look, is it okay?"

  "Get out! Don't touch me!" Qiao Mingying pushed Feng Lixi away with one hand and roared.

  "Didn't you say I'm your maid?!" She let out a soft sigh, casting a sideways glance at the man's tantrum, and continued in a gentle tone, "Since I am your maid, when the master is unwell, it's only right for the maid to attend to him by his side!"

  With such a reason, he wouldn't push her away again, would he?!

  As expected, Qiao Mingying was blown away by Feng Li Xi. For a moment, she was so angry that she almost fainted and died, only to be reborn as the concubine of a noble family.

  Qiao Mingying's eyes had an inexplicable sense of resentment and annoyance, but Feng Lixi pretended not to see. She forcibly stuffed him back into the quilt, then casually took out a few pills from her sleeve and forced them into Qiao Mingying's mouth.

  These pills are all top-grade elixirs, with the extraordinary effects of strengthening one's body and curing injuries. Some even have the effect of prolonging life. Not to mention in the mortal realm, even in the Jade Emperor Realm, such elixirs are hard to come by.

  As a disciple of Xi Yue Wu Yu, Feng Li Xi felt relatively fortunate.

  At least, Xī Yuè Wǔ Yún treated her extremely well. The secret method of the elixir was never privately stored, as long as there was some, he would try his best to give her the best! Even if Xī Yuè Wǔ Yún treated her so well, most of it was because she was the granddaughter of Suì Yù Zhēn Jūn, but it still moved Fēng Lǐ Xī very much.

  With such a teacher, what more could one ask for?

  Qiao Mingying saw the wind and didn't want to explain, so she forcibly fed him a pill. How could he agree? He was about to spit out the pill, but it seemed that his strength wasn't enough.

  Seeing this, Feng Li Xi didn't say anything, but silently walked to the red wooden table in the corner, poured himself a cup of tea and handed it to Qiao Mingying.

  Seeing Feng Li Xi's calm demeanor, Qiao Ming Ying suddenly felt a surge of resentment and slammed the cup to the ground, shattering it into pieces. "I told you to get out, are you deaf?"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi remained unperturbed and slowly bent down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces, putting them aside. Then, she poured another cup of tea and handed it to Qiao Mingying.

  Just as someone was about to wave goodbye again, Feng Li Xi didn't insist anymore and instead put the cup on the tea table in front of the bed.

  Qiao Mingying originally thought this uninvited guest would leave just like that, but unexpectedly—

  Feng Li Xi took a few steps forward and, without saying a word, reached out with his right hand to take Jo Mingying's pulse. From the pulse alone, he could tell that Jo Mingying's pulse was thin, rapid, and delicate, but suddenly sank rapidly, indicating poisoning, and it was a severe case of poisoning.

  Although he had already taken the pulse, Feng Li Xi was cautious and hesitated for a moment before slowly sending a strand of wood-based spiritual energy from his body into Qiao Mingying's through the meridians.

  Just like the vast majority of ordinary people's physical bodies, Qiao Mingying's meridians were unobstructed, but extremely fine, and compared to the cultivators of Zhu Yinjie, the gap was not small. Looking closer, it could be seen that those weak meridians had a faint tendency to turn black, which was a sign of poisoning. Moreover, if the guess was correct, Qiao Mingying had been poisoned for a long time, otherwise his meridians would not have turned black.

  Along with the guidance of that wisp of wood spirit energy, Fengliu Xi quickly explored every nook and cranny within Qiao Mingying's body. However, strangely, when the wood spirit energy reached the heart meridian, it was obstructed and unable to enter for further examination.

  Someone had deliberately set up a seal at Jiao Mingying's Heart Meridian. From this, it can be seen that this person's cultivation is far above Feng Lixu's.

  Pressing down the doubts in his heart, Fengli Xi continued to urge the wooden spirit energy to explore other meridians of Qiao Mingying...

  Only when he arrived at Qiao Mingying's recognition of the sea, Feng Lixi hesitated.

  A person's primordial spirit generally resides in the sea of consciousness, and as long as she takes one more step forward, she will know whether this Qiao Mingying is or isn't the reincarnation of her beloved.

  But at this step, she always dare not go out!

  Author's note: The company has been having overtime for a week, and I've been busy day and night, which delayed the update! Sorry about that!

  I'd like to reiterate that I will absolutely never abandon this project!
