Hey, you are reborn too?

As she spoke, Xie Yongwei raised her eyes and saw the stream in the bamboo forest.

"Brother, do you have much water with you?"

Xie Yongxuan followed Xie Yongwei's gaze and remained silent for a rare moment: "It's almost sold out."

Xie Yongwei looked around and found no trace of water around.

"Brother," Xie Yongwei already had an idea in mind, and just confirmed it again, "Have you seen any water source on our way here?"

Xie Yongxuan remained silent longer this time.

"No."

He exhaled softly and uttered these two words slowly.

As if knowing that they were running out of water, the sunlight became even more scorching.

The bamboo forest and the stream became so real and clear, swaying in front of everyone's eyes, as if inviting them to join in with a smile.

"Awei," Xie Yongxuan was the first to break the silence, "In your dream, were we attacked by the stream?"

Xie Yongwei frowned and tried to recall the dream carefully, but found that she had almost completely forgotten the details. She shook her head: "I can't remember clearly."

"okay, I get it."

Xie Yongxuan turned his horse around and faced the guards. He drew his sword from its sheath and said, "Brothers, there may be an ambush in the bamboo forest ahead. The enemy's strength is unknown, but we must not show weakness first."

He paused, pointed his sword to the sky, and shouted: "With the enemy in front of us, how can we escape without a fight? Go, kill them all!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Everyone imitated Xie Yongxuan, raising their swords again and again and shouting.

For a time, morale was high.

Xie Yongwei originally thought this method was embarrassing, but seeing that it was working well, she sat back in the car and let her brother continue to boost morale.

"Everyone, listen to my orders," a majestic voice sounded outside the carriage curtain, "half of you, take your equipment and go get water from the stream. The other half, follow me, guard the young lady and be ready to respond at any time."

The voice paused, then came again: "Let's go!"

The carriage rolled forward again.

Xie Yongwei's eyes were shining. She knew that Jiang Yu must be ambushing ahead, but she also believed in her brother and her own strength.

If it really doesn't work, there must be someone from the Tianhong Sect nearby.

Since the people from the Tianhong Sect are here, their young master should not be far away.

Xie Yongwei admitted that she was overly dependent on Jiang Mian because of this. But according to her previous experience of asking Jiang Mian for help, he was happy to help her and even took the initiative to come forward to take credit.

I feel half relieved, but still half worried.

Xie Yongwei gritted her teeth, untied her belt, put on the Tianhong Jue, pulled open the curtain on the other side, held up the jade Jue in her hand, and shook it vigorously a few times.

No reaction. The sun continued to shine, the wind continued to blow. The jade pendant, which was faintly fluorescent, did not seem to cause any ripples.

Xie Yongwei did not give up. She stretched her hand out of the car window a little, pointed the Tianhong Jue towards the back of the car, and shook it several times again.

The air in the afternoon was still dull. The Rainbow Jue had its own temperature, and at this moment, it was the same temperature as Xie Yongwei's hand. Xie Yongwei held it tightly in her hand, but it almost merged with Xie Yongwei's hand, with a very low sense of existence.

This token, which could have commanded millions of Beili troops in the previous life, now seemed like a waste and could not cause any trouble.

"Miss," Dong Qing's voice came with a hint of hesitation, "What are you doing?"

"fine."

Xie Yongwei's heart fell back into her stomach again. She didn't know whether she was relieved or had given up.

She lowered her head and calmly checked the silk in her sleeves. She held the poison powder firmly in her hand, thought for a moment, and frowned: "Dongqing, you... stay away from me first."

"Miss?"

Holly's eyes widened, looking somewhat incredulous.

Her voice was choked and trembling, "Miss, do you dislike this servant?"

Xie Yongwei opened her mouth, but ultimately did not tell her that she had a dream about her hurting her in the future.

"It's okay if you don't want to be far away from me. Then just come and sit over here." She slowly opened a pack of pills and handed it to Dongqing along with the water bag, with a smile on her face. "If you take this, you can be closer to me."

Those were the pills that Xie Yongwei herself often took, which could effectively maintain the mind and resist the invasion of illusions.

Seeing Dong Qing was a little hesitant, Xie Yongwei generously poured out two pills, mixed them with water, tilted her head back, and swallowed them in one gulp.

After swallowing it, Xie Yongwei handed the pill forward again, a smile on her lips, and said "hmm" briskly.

Although Dong Qing pursed her lips, she finally stopped hesitating. She took the pill from Xie Yongwei with one hand and the water bag with the other, imitating Xie Yongwei's behavior, moving her throat and swallowing it.

"Very good," Xie Yongwei patted Dong Qing's shoulder and praised, "Don't worry, this pill can resist illusions and has no side effects."

"Illusion?"

Dongqing frowned, tilted his head slightly, looked confused, and blinked twice in succession.

"It is a technique that is almost lost in the martial arts world. It can confuse people's minds and drag them into a state of no return."

"Ah?" Dong Qing shrank back subconsciously, her eyes revealing a bit of fear, "If you are talking about this illusion, I have heard of it."

Xie Yongwei remained silent appropriately, giving Dong Qing space to perform.

Holly's eyes were empty and she muttered to herself, telling everything she knew about illusion like pouring out beans.

Xie Yongwei listened quietly and found that what Dong Qing said was almost the same as what her master said.

It is unknown where the magic trick originated from, but it was popular in Beili and Dayuan. It was extremely prosperous in the past, and there were even sects that specialized in inheriting the magic trick.

However, several decades ago, all schools of illusion fell into decline without exception.

The master didn't tell Xie Yongwei the reason, and Xie Yongwei didn't ask any more questions.

According to Dongqing, she probably didn't know much about the matter.

Xie Yongwei felt a little disappointed. She thought she could get some news from Dong Qing that she had never heard before, but after listening for so long, all she heard was old news.

She lost interest and started to get distracted, but luckily Holly didn't say much and it ended quickly.

"Ah Wei," Xie Yongwei recognized her brother's voice and gently moved towards the car curtain, "Do you have much water? Let's take out the water bag and fill it up."

Xie Yongwei shook the water bag gently and found that there was indeed not much left.

Dong Qing lifted the curtain and handed the water bag out for Xie Yongwei.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the curtain was opened, Xie Yongwei looked around the outside environment again.

The wind blows from time to time, the green bamboo sways in the wind, and the bamboo leaves rub against each other, making a rustling sound.

Everything was so peaceful, but Xie Yongwei felt something was wrong.

"Awei, the water is ready, please take it."

The uneasiness in Xie Yongwei's heart followed him like a shadow, pressing him tightly and making her feel a little breathless.

She silently lifted the car curtain, took the water bag, unplugged the valve at the bottom, and poured some water into the white porcelain cup.

Xie Yongwei raised her glass and was about to drink when she smelled a hint of ominous smell.

The breath was diluted by water and became very weak.

Xie Yongwei's pupils suddenly shrank - someone had drugged her in the water!
