When Su Yingxue returned to the clinic, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She saw a few patients, but she couldnât quell the bitterness in her heart.
She decided to head to the study in the backyard to read some medical books and calm down, but she sensed a hint of danger in the air.
Without hesitation, she kicked the door open and found Zi Wei facing off against several individuals inside.
Su Yingxue widened her eyes. âHong Lian, what do you think youâre doing?â
Several black-clad assassins immediately closed in on her, forming a protective circle around Hong Lian.
Hong Lian sneered. âNaturally, weâre here to reclaim what belongs to our Silver Moon Pavilion.â
âYouâre dreaming! This is my clinic, and thereâs nothing here that belongs to your Silver Moon Pavilion. Get out!â Su Yingxue shouted angrily.
âHonorable Miss Su, Genius Doctor Su why so much anger? Could it be that youâre jealous of the favor Your Highness shows me?â Hong Lianâs lips curled with pride.
It wasnât pride in her role as the Silver Moon Pavilionâs leader but rather pride in her victory in their previous encounter.
Su Yingxue, aware that Hong Lian couldnât see, adjusted her breathing and chuckled. âHong Lian, before 1 poisoned you, I never imagined that the poison would not only narrow your eyes but also thicken your skin.â
âHmph! Su Yingxue, do you think that your quick tongue can change the fact that Your Highness treats me well?â Hong Lianâs voice dripped with disdain.
âWhy should 1 bother changing something that doesnât concern me? If he truly treats you well, then why are you still blind?â Su Yingxue had an innate talent for provoking people. The stupidity of her past life had given way to sharp wit in this one.
Her motto was simple, If someone didnât bother her, she wouldnât bother them. But if someone crossed herâ¦
Hong Lianâs anger flared, and she waved her hand, ordering, âFind it! If you canât, take all the books from here!â
âAre you looking for my motherâs diary? No need. I didnât put it here. Where Iâve hidden it, youâll never find it,â Su Yingxue said, crossing her arms.
âItâs either in this clinic or the Marquisâs Manor. Su Yingxue, do you think I wouldnât dare to enter the Marquisâs Manor?â Hong Lian gritted her teeth. She had led the Silver Moon Pavilion for so long, and nobody had dared to be so audacious in front of her.
âIf you want to enter the Marquisâs Manor, 1 can take you there. But even if 1 gave you a month, you wouldnât find my motherâs diary, even if you dug three feet into the Marquisâs Manor.â
Su Yingxue informed her calmly that she was the only one who could enter the Medicine Kingâs Valley within her consciousness.
Not to mention digging three feet into the Marquisâs Manor, even if Hong Lian dug three feet into the entire Great Cheng Dynasty, she still wouldnât find it.
âSu Yingxue, just you wait! The day 1 regain my sight will be the day of your death!â Hong Lian left those words behind and departed under the guard of her assassins.
Su Yingxueâs heart sank slightly. Hong Lianâs words posed no real threat to her, but they served as a reminder.
With Hong Lianâs skills, she could always find someone to cure the poison. However, during the time she had been blindâ¦
She wouldnât be able to oversee every aspect of the Silver Moon Pavilion.
She could infiltrate the Silver Moon Pavilion once more.
Once inside the Silver Moon Pavilion, she would discover who exactly had come to trade and buy her motherâs handwritten letter.
âZi Wei,â Su Yingxue called softly, and the shadowy figure immediately moved to her side.
Su Yingxue winked at him. âTonight, weâre going to the Silver Moon Pavilion.â
Zi Wei nodded.
After night fell, Su Yingxue donned a black robe that blended seamlessly with the night, just like Zi Wei. Under his guidance, they infiltrated the Silver Moon Pavilion.
The terrain was complex, and security was tight. Su Yingxue had to remain vigilant for any poisoned traps in the security. After all, the Silver Moon Pavilionâs trade network was extensive, and all kinds of poisons could be traded here.
Their defenses might also employ these tactics..
