Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl

Lu Yan looked at himself in the mirror, his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although the insect poison has been suppressed now, it is only temporary. He must hurry to find a way to detoxify it.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lu Yan said in a hoarse voice.

The person who came was Lu Yan's confidant. He handed over a piece of information, "Master, I found some information about that person."

Lu Yan took it calmly, opened the information and read it carefully.

According to intelligence, that person is secretly closely connected with a mysterious organization in the Western Regions. And that organization is said to have a magical detoxification method.

Lu Yan pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Make arrangements. I need to go to the palace."

This matter must be reported to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Lu Yan knelt on one knee and presented the information in his hand to the emperor.

The emperor took the intelligence and frowned after reading it. "It seems that there is something fishy about this matter. Lu Yan, I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly. It would be best if you can find evidence."

"Your humble servant obeys your order." Lu Yan was secretly delighted. With the emperor's support, the investigation would be much smoother.

It's just that the man stretched his hands too far and even interfered with the imperial court.

After leaving the palace, Lu Yan immediately began to prepare. He knew that this mission was difficult, but he had no choice but to get rid of the insect poison in his body.

'It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity to meet Fu Liyou.'

Lu Yan subconsciously touched the not-so-obvious red mark on his wrist. It had almost become a habit for him. He would always rub his wrist when he was thinking about something.

"It seems that the other party is not easy to get along with this time."

Lu Yan's eyes were determined, "No matter what, I must get rid of the insect poison."

He began to secretly investigate the mysterious organization, but found that their actions were extremely secretive and they managed to cleverly avoid detection every time.

However, by chance, Lu Yan got a key clue. It is said that the leader of the mysterious organization would secretly meet with a businessman every once in a while.

'Host, this is a trap, a message sent to you on purpose.'

Lu Yan frowned, it seemed that someone had noticed his actions.

"However, since Fu Liyou is here too," the system quickly gave the message.

Lu Yan's frown deepened. "Why is he here too?"

"It seems that it is also for the purpose of investigation. Although the insect poison in your body was not planted by Fu Liyou and his people, it is still related to him, so I will follow up the investigation."

"In that case, even if it's a trap, I have to go."

Lu Yan decided to follow the businessman to see if he could find more evidence.

After several days of tracking and the location given to him by the system, he finally determined the location where the businessman met with members of the mysterious organization.

Just as Lu Yan was about to investigate further, danger quietly approached. A group of assassins in black suddenly appeared and attacked him.

Lu Yan was in danger, wielding a long sword, and fighting fiercely with the black-clad killer. Although he was agile, the large number of enemies gradually made him feel exhausted.

At the critical moment, a figure flashed like a ghost and joined the battle. Fu Liyou attacked fiercely and repelled several assassins in a few moves.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yan looked at Fu Liyou in surprise.

"It's just a coincidence. Now you owe me a favor, otherwise you would have died here." Fu Liyou's tone was cold, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.

The two men cooperated with each other tacitly, and for a moment, the man in black found it difficult to get close to them.

Finally, the men in black saw that the situation was not good and retreated.

"Thank you very much this time." Lu Yan wiped the blood off his face and thanked Fu Liyou.

"You're welcome. I have my own purpose." Fu Liyou looked around and said, "Let's leave here first."

Lu Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement, then walked side by side with Fu Liyou and slowly left the place.

Along the way, both of them were silent, as if they had their own thoughts.

This place is remote, with rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation. There are no carriages or horses to ride, so the travel speed is naturally not fast.

They struggled along the winding path, and after a long trek, they finally saw a dilapidated and crumbling inn in front of them.

"Come in." Lu Yan looked at the other party somewhat unconfidently. He was worried that his invitation would make the other party feel dissatisfied or disgusted, but he really had no better choice.

So, he added carefully: "Although this place is a little shabby, it can at least shelter us from the wind and rain. If you don't mind, just make do with it for now."

However, to Lu Yan's surprise, Fu Liyou did not show any disgust or dissatisfaction.

He just looked around quietly, then found a relatively clean spot nearby and sat down.

Throughout the whole process, his movements were very natural, as if he didn't care about such an environment.

Lu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. The other party clearly looked like he was obsessed with mysophobia, but he didn't expect that he was so accepting of it.

At the same time, he was relieved. After all, he was worried that Fu Liyou would refuse to stay because of this simple place. But now it seems that he was worrying too much.

As night fell, the dilapidated inn looked even more eerie. Lu Yan and Fu Liyou sat around the fire in silence.

"Why did you save me just now?" Lu Yan broke the silence first.

Fu Liyou raised his head and glanced at him, "I have my reasons."

"You owe me a favor for what I promised you last time, but I didn't help you much."

Lu Yan felt relieved, but he did not ask any more questions. The two of them sat in silence until late at night.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound outside, as if something was approaching.

"Shh..." Fu Liyou signaled Lu Yan to keep quiet.

Then he stood up and walked to the door, watching the movements outside vigilantly.

A cold wind blew into the room, and Lu Yan couldn't help but shiver. A bad premonition came to his mind.

"Host, it's not good. It seems someone is catching up with us." The system shouted anxiously, with a hint of nervousness in its voice.

After hearing the system's reminder, the host did not show too much panic.

He responded calmly: "Yes, I understand." As if he had expected this situation, the host's eyes were firm and calm.

He gripped his weapon tightly, ready for the coming battle.

Fu Liyou also stood aside vigilantly and looked at Lu Yan. Lu Yan nodded slightly. The two held their breath and listened carefully to the movements outside.

"Host, there are quite a few of them, be careful." The system noticed the number of people outside.

"The rescue hasn't come yet?" Lu Yan arranged for someone to pick him up before he set out, just in case.
