After Uncle Cheng had been locked up in Tiger's Prison, he spent most of his time in his own room. He even rarely wandered around the small courtyard outside his room, not to mention leaving the courtyard.
Deacon Jin was just about to hide when Uncle Cheng saw him and actually took the initiative to beckon him to come down.
Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng had been working together for a long time but they had never had a common topic to talk about.
When he saw Uncle Cheng taking the initiative to greet him, he didn't have any suspicions. He also couldn't be bothered to investigate why Uncle Cheng had gone to Su Xiaoyu's side. Very quickly, he jumped into the courtyard and returned to his room.
After Deacon Jin left, Uncle Cheng no longer had his previous leisurely and calm demeanor. He hurriedly ran back into the courtyard, afraid that Bai Yuqiao would bump into him.
He had been waiting here for too long. If he didn't make a move now, he was afraid that it would be too late!
At this moment, Bai Yuqiao had just finished dealing with the patrolling guards sent by Jun Yi Xie. She had used money and smiles and finally managed to save Su Xiaoyu from a round of physical pain.
She didn't dare to be careless and personally escorted the few guards out of Tiger's Prison before returning.
When she returned, she actually discovered that Su Xiaoyu was standing at the entrance of the small courtyard, staring at her from afar.
Bai Yuqiao wanted to pretend that she didn't see anything but Su Xiaoyu shouted loudly, "Bai Yuqiao, come over here. I have something to ask you!"
This stinky lass was looking for death!
Bai Yuqiao had no choice but to go over. If Su Xiaoyu shouted like that and alerted the surrounding guards, then she would be in big trouble.
When Bai Yuqiao arrived, Su Xiaoyu tactfully turned around and walked into the courtyard, all the way back to her rather hidden room.
A complicated look flashed past Bai Yuqiao's eyes but she still walked in.
"Why don't you close the door?" Su Xiaoyu was a mischievous child. She stood with her arms crossed like an adult. During this period of recuperation, her body had more or less recovered.
"What?" Bai Yuqiao raised his eyebrows and asked, still with an arrogant attitude.
"Why are you helping me?" Su Xiaoyu asked.
Previously, she had always thought that it was because of Ning Cheng that Bai Yuqiao did not dare to make things difficult for her. However, these days, she felt more and more that something was wrong. Even if it was because of Ning Cheng, Bai Yuqiao would at most not make things difficult for her, but there was no need for him to treat her so well.
These days, Bai Yuqiao not only found a professional doctor for her to recuperate, but he also found a professional chef for her to eat three meals a day to nourish her body. Especially today, when faced with those military officers sent by Jun Yi Xie to make things difficult for her, Bai Yuqiao had repeatedly helped her to get out of trouble.
"Help you?" Bai Yuqiao gave a Cold smile, "Su Xiaoyu, who do you think you are?"
Su Xiaoyu's smile was even more disdainful than her, "Alright, I'll go out now to find the guards to ask, who exactly is protecting me like this!"
Bai Yuqiao shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look and even specially opened the door for Su Xiaoyu to let her out.
Su Xiaoyu really walked out and Bai Yuqiao's face turned black behind her, but he did not immediately stop her.
Su Xiaoyu was not joking as she took big strides forward. Bai Yuqiao followed behind her and was also very calm.
However, in the end, she could not help but say, "Su Xiaoyu, you have to think carefully." If you barge out like this, no one will be able to protect you in the future! "
Su Xiaoyu did not even turn back, let alone stop in her tracks. She took big strides as she replied, "Even if I die, I won't let some irrelevant people casually protect me."
The person who protected her like this was either really one of their own, or definitely had some ulterior motives. She thought that the person who could bribe Bai Yuqiao was definitely not one of their own, so it could only be someone with ulterior motives.
Today, she must find out the person behind this.
Bai Yuqiao was very upset when he heard this and continued to follow.
However, he was still defeated in the end. At the moment when Su Xiaoyu was about to step out of the main door, he pulled on Su Xiaoyu's hand.
"If you want to know who's protecting you, then follow me back obediently!" Bai Yuqiao lowered his voice and said Coldly.
"Okay!" Su Xiaoyu agreed readily.
Su Xiaoyu was held by Bai Yuqiao as they walked back. Bai Yuqiao looked at the two of them holding hands silently and couldn't help but feel bitter.
This was the first time she held her younger sister's hand. If the two of them had not been abandoned by their parents, if the two of them had not been adopted by different people, how good would that have been! How many times would they have held hands and walked together?
After knowing that Su Xiaoyu was her biological younger sister, Bai Yuqiao felt like an older sister. But today, holding onto Su Xiaoyu's little hand, she then truly experienced the feeling of having a younger sister.
Little Yu 'er, do you know that since we can't find our parents, the older sister will be the mother. Older sister really wants to hold onto you like this and watch you grow up, watch you get married.
Bai Yuqiao unconsciously slowed down her footsteps as she knew that after this round, there wouldn't be another chance.
But Su Xiaoyu very quickly flung her hand away. Su Xiaoyu acted as though she didn't notice Bai Yuqiao as she flung her hand away and took big strides forward, not waiting for Bai Yuqiao.
Bai Yuqiao looked at her own palm and smiled helplessly. She very quickly gathered her emotions and chased after her.
Su Xiaoyu returned to the house and lazily sat on the warm couch. Although she was young, but the posture she sat in was graceful and luxurious, with the posture of a rich lady.
Bai Yuqiao recovered her usual arrogance and sneered, "Little lass, please sit properly when you talk to me!"
"Try talking nonsense again?" Su Xiaoyu said impolitely.
Bai Yuqiao laughed bitterly in her heart. Her biological younger sister was indeed her biological younger sister. Although they didn't grow up together, her character was exactly the same as her.
She didn't waste any more time and had already thought of an excuse, "Han Yunxi will protect you, so you can rest assured!"
When these words came out, Su Xiaoyu immediately jumped up from the warm couch and almost fell down. She didn't look like a little adult and was completely like an anxious little lass. "Really? Really? Bai Yuqiao, I dare you to lie to me! "
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ning Jing. When spring comes, Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye will come to save you. If you still want to return to Han Yunxi's side, you'd better take good care of yourself. I heard that Han Yunxi never keeps useless people under her! "Bai Yuqiao said.
Although Su Xiaoyu was very excited, she still maintained her vigilance. She asked again, "So you're saying that you betrayed Jun Yi Xie? You surrendered to my master? "
Bai Yuqiao sneered, "Surrendered? Han Yunxi doesn't have that ability! I just had a deal with Ning Cheng. It's up to you to believe it or not. "
Only Ning Cheng knew the truth. Even Ning Jing and the rest didn't know about her relationship with Su Xiaoyu. They only knew that she was threatened by Ning Cheng.
With Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er as witnesses, Bai Yuqiao wasn't afraid that Su Xiaoyu wouldn't believe him. Sure enough, Su Xiaoyu said seriously, "I want to see Mu Ling 'er right now!"
"Okay, I'll find a chance to arrange it tomorrow." Bai Yuqiao agreed.
Su Xiaoyu couldn't hide her excitement at all. It was written all over her face. She thought that she would die in Bai Yuqiao's hands and never see her master again.
She didn't know how her master was doing now. Did Baili Mingxiang do anything bad? Also, Granny Zhao would definitely miss her. The more Su Xiaoyu thought about it, the more excited she became. If Bai Yuqiao wasn't present, she would definitely be jumping up and down with joy!
However, she didn't need to jump up and down. Bai Yuqiao could see that she was happy.
Although Bai Yuqiao had always hated Han Yunxi, seeing her sister so happy, she said "thank you" to Han Yunxi in her heart. She had already discussed with Ning Cheng that the matter between her and Su Xiaoyu was not to be revealed, especially to Han Yunxi.
If Han Yunxi doted on this girl, then she would let her dote on her without any scruples.
Bai Yuqiao was about to leave, but she couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, aren't you curious about the deal between me and Ning Cheng?"
Su Xiaoyu glanced at her and retorted, "What does it have to do with me?"
Bai Yuqiao turned around and left. As she walked, she laughed until tears flowed out of her eyes. The next day, Bai Yuqiao really brought Su Xiaoyu to Mu Ling 'er. After Su Xiaoyu confirmed that what Bai Yuqiao said was true, she was as happy as a child. She bounced around the room and danced with her hands and feet.
Ning Jing and Mu Ling 'er then realized that Su Xiaoyu was actually a child.
Although the mysterious forest in Tiger's Prison was lush and green and there was no snow, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature was dropping day by day.
The real winter was about to start. When winter arrived, spring wouldn't be far away.
Other than Uncle Cheng, everyone here was looking forward to the arrival of spring. It wasn't that the warm spring day wasn't their hope. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were their real hope.
In the middle of November, Long Fei Ye and Gu had both recovered from their internal injuries. Moreover, the Dragon Pill had also been refined.
Noon today was the auspicious time to open the furnace and test the pill. Even Xu Donglin and Baili Mingxiang came to the Medicine Requesting Cave to witness this moment.
They saw the Old Man Of Alchemy perform a very strange technique. Then, he gathered his strength and held the furnace door with both hands. He slowly opened it inch by inch.
Although Gu said that the amount of medicine they used could refine five Dragon Pill at once, the Old Man Of Alchemy also said that he could only guarantee the success of one pill. He couldn't promise anything else.
Therefore, no one knew how many pills they would see after the Alchemy Furnace was opened.
After all, the Dragon Pill was a good thing. Moreover, they had paid such a high price. Three of their lives were almost lost in this Alchemy Furnace.
It would be a lie to say that no one was nervous. Even Han Yunxi, who was a little tired after working hard for a few days, tensed up and stared at the furnace door that was slowly opening. As for the Old Man Of Alchemy, after so many Medicinal Pills refining sessions, his hands were trembling.
Gradually, they saw a corner of the Alchemy Furnace. It was actually a pile of medicinal dregs. Everyone knew what was going on and didn't say anything.
However, soon, they saw another pile of medicinal dregs. There were already two piles of medicinal dregs, which meant that two Medicinal Pills had already been wasted.
The Old Man Of Alchemy's hands trembled even more. He continued to pull the furnace door down.
Unexpectedly, they saw another pile of medicinal dregs! This was the third pile. That meant that three Medicinal Pills had already been wasted. There were only two left, or maybe only one.
"What kind of lousy furnace is this! It's a scam! "
Gu kicked the Celestial Fire Furnace fiercely. The Old Man Of Alchemy immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Why don't you try kicking it again?! Haven't you hurt it enough? "
Although the Old Man Of Alchemy couldn't do anything about tomorrow, the Old Man Of Alchemy still had a temper!
"If you didn't scam us, why would we hurt it? It's just a lousy furnace. Why are you so nervous? "Gu's tone became particularly cold.
