Chapter 5

「Senior Brother?」 Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned. How could Lin Yuan be here? Recalling that Lin Yuan had said he was ambushed and needed to find the person who had poisoned him to get the antidote, Ye Xuan immediately understood. It seemed she had unfortunately encountered Lin Yuan's enemy.

The evil Daoist Meng Xie smirked from the side, 「So this little girl is an old acquaintance of yours,」 he glanced at Ye Xuan, his face displaying a lewd smile, 「Well, I just gave your little lover some good stuff.」

「Old thief, don't talk nonsense!」 Ye Xuan's face turned red with anger. Who was this guy's little lover? 「What exactly did you give me?」

「Don't worry, it's not poison,」 Daoist Meng Xie laughed maniacally. The more he laughed, the colder Lin Yuan's expression became. Lin Yuan had vaguely guessed what the old thief had given Ye Xuan. As expected, Daoist Meng Xie continued, 「Weren't you trying to seize the antidote? I've already given it to you,」 he said, grabbing Ye Xuan by the hair and pushing her forward, 「It's in this little girl's stomach.」

Ye Xuan was shocked. She had heard from Lin Yuan that only the person who poisoned him knew the antidote's formula, which was why Lin Yuan was determined to capture Daoist Meng Xie.

Daoist Meng Xie added, 「Only one antidote has been made, and I just gave it to this little girl,」 he taunted Lin Yuan, 「If I fall into your hands, I'm surely dead, but I won't let you off easily!」

At this moment, his face was full of venom as he pushed Ye Xuan towards Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan quickly caught her and shielded her behind him. He then saw Daoist Meng Xie seize the opportunity to produce a silver light and plunge it into his own brow.

A stream of fresh blood spurted wildly from his forehead, forming a gushing fountain. He stood up laughing wildly as his skin and flesh began to peel off in pieces. 「Having been poisoned by my unique toxin, you can just wait to die, Lin Yuan! If you're ruthless enough, you can kill this little girl and drink her blood; you might still have a chance. Or,」 he maliciously smiled, 「some potent pills can work if the poisoned person is willing to copulate with the one who took the antidote. But you, a righteous gentleman, would never harm your fellow disciple, would you? Hahaha!」 As his laughter grew more maniacal, his breath weakened, and he finally fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded, being held by Lin Yuan. With a wave of his sleeve, a light appeared beneath his feet, and in no time, they returned to Ye Xuan's small bamboo building. Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, 「How can you fly so freely within the sect?」

Lin Yuan, with a stern and handsome face, pressed her onto the bed, 「Haven't you noticed that you're bleeding?」

Ye Xuan was taken aback, finally realizing that blood was constantly seeping from a wound on her neck. Lin Yuan took a pill from his pouch and had her swallow it, then fetched warm water and a handkerchief to clean her wound. Sitting on the low couch, Ye Xuan watched the man busy treating her, thinking that just a few days ago, their roles were reversed.

She didn't know why, but a sense of secret satisfaction grew in her heart. Remembering that Lin Yuan was still poisoned, she quickly said, 「Senior Brother, your poison...」

Lin Yuan interrupted her, speaking flatly, 「You don't need to worry about this.」

His tone made Ye Xuan indignant, 「Why shouldn't I worry? I took the antidote, Daoist Meng Xie is dead, and no one else in the world knows the formula. You...」

Before she could finish, Lin Yuan cut her off again, his voice turning cold, 「Are you suggesting I kill you?」 Seeing her fall silent, he finished tying the bandage, released her hand, and without looking at her, said coldly, 「If you don't want to die, be quiet.」
