Five Poisonous Palm of Darkness

  The night was deep, and Yuexuan didn't have a bit of sleepiness. She opened a window facing the courtyard, and in May's weather, the dry heat brought by the daytime, at night, with a gentle breeze blowing over, it brought a lot of coolness to the earth. Quietly sitting there, gazing up at the bright night sky, her long eyelashes fluttered up and down.

  Su Ya suddenly remembered that she had been in this world for three years, and it was unbelievable how fast time flew by. What the outside world was like, Bai Yao said that she would find her own answers in this world, but what did she really want?

  She took a glance at Ling'er who was already asleep in bed, then got up and quietly jumped out of the window, climbing onto the roof. As soon as she got up there, she saw that someone had beaten her to it.

  Nie Lang followed the sound and left, only to see a white sleeve fluttering lightly in the wind. The eyebrows and eyes that were dyed with moonlight were exceptionally clear and captivating. He was slightly stunned, and hastily bowed his head to say in a low voice: "Su Yu, young lady."

  "It's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Yu Rao was somewhat surprised.

  "Hmm..." Nier Lang responded somewhat unnaturally, "Su Ya, it's so late, can't you sleep either?"

  As soon as the words fell, Su Ya had already sat down beside him. With her movement, a faint and elegant floral scent wafted from her body, causing Nie Lang to unconsciously lower his head. A strand of long hair blocked his slightly flushed profile.

  "I can't sleep, I'll recognize the bed."

  "Recognize the bed?" Nie Lang was clearly baffled by this new and strange phrase.

  It's no wonder that Su Yao, a 21st-century person, would feel uncomfortable and out of place with the way of life in this world, including conversing with them.

  "I'm really curious what kind of injury you've sustained?" Yu Jiao jumped out of the topic and turned her head to curiously glance at his left shoulder.

  "Wu Du Ming Zhang." Nie Lang replied in his usual cold tone, subconsciously raising his hand to rub his left shoulder which still ached slightly. He continued slowly, "That's a technique from the Evil Valley Sect. If the poisoned person doesn't take the antidote within three months, the poison will spread throughout their body and cause them to rot to death."

  Although Su Ya didn't understand what the Five Poison Hell Palm or the Evil Valley Sect were, based on what she had seen with her eyes and smelled before, if this man in front of her didn't receive timely treatment and take an antidote, he wouldn't have much time left.

  "It seems there are quite a few people out to get you." She said coolly.

  Nie Lang heard this and was slightly stunned, lowering his head in silence.

  "Why didn't you ask me for help?" Seeing this, Su Yu changed the subject.

  "It's not necessary." Nie Lang raised his head, looking at Su Yao with clear eyes, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "I'm already grateful that Miss Su is willing to adventure with us, who are just passing by, to Fengdu."

  "Fengdu is the capital of Liao's founding country, it seems that the person you want to see has a big background." She guessed.

  Nie Lang just smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying anything. He slowly turned his head to gaze at the sky, and those clear eyes supported by the moonlight seemed very deep, as if they were filled with thoughts of someone far away.

  In Su Ya's eyes, that person must be someone who is more important to Nie Lang than his own life, someone who can make him risk his life to see, regardless of the danger. It's probably not a close relative, but rather a deeply loved one.

  This piqued her curiosity, and she wanted to see for herself what kind of person could make a man risk his life just to meet.
