I nodded my head with all my strength, because I felt the cold inside me recede and the heat rise, as if I was put into a big pot and boiled. The boiling oil hell was probably just like that. My throat hurt even more, as if it was burning. I tried to hold his hand tightly, but I couldn't move it even with all my strength.

Suddenly, I felt a coolness in my hands. He must have noticed something and poured spiritual energy into me. In this way, I went through waves of ice and fire, hot and cold, cold and hot, repeatedly, and finally, when I was exhausted, the heat I felt became less and less powerful, and then spun a few times like a whirlpool in the water and disappeared.

"I checked it out, the remaining poison should have disappeared, you can go back, if you feel uncomfortable, please come to me or call Hu Zhen to see you." Tu Shanjing's voice sounded in front of me. The towel in front of me was wet, and I could vaguely see some outlines, but it was not clear, just a hazy shadow.

I replied weakly, "OK," and then I didn't have the strength to say another word.

He took a step closer and asked with concern: "Should I ask someone to take you back now?"

I nodded slightly. He reached out and lifted me up, carrying me to the edge of the pool. I let out a startled cry and hurriedly held onto his shoulders. His slender fingers tightly grasped my waist, and soon released it. I didn't expect that I was so weak that my fingers were unable to hold onto the edge of the pool, and I fell back into the pool with a "plop". I took a sip of water, and my throat felt sore and stinging. For a moment, it seemed as if I had returned to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival when I fell into the water, and some fears came back.

Fortunately, he acted quickly and pulled me out of the water. I could only feel my face pressed against his soft chest, and a soothing fragrance. He lifted me up again, and took me to the shore to sit steadily, and then he untied the scarf that covered my eyes.

The moment the towel fell, Tu Shanjing's worried face came into view. He looked up at me, his eyes were black and white, his wet clothes were almost transparent, his hair hung on his shoulders, and his narrow waist was hidden in the pool water. I raised my hand to wipe off the water on my face and whispered, "It's okay." He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "You scared me, I'm glad you're okay."

Then he asked loudly: "Who is waiting outside the cave?"

Sen Ying's thin voice came: "I am Sen Ying, a maid in the small kitchen."

Tu Shanjing turned his head and looked at me, as if he understood something, and then ordered: "Go and ask Ruiyang to quickly bring a soft couch and a small blanket. Don't make any noise and take Lanxiang back."

The warbler said "yes" and walked away.

I took a breath and whispered to him, "Thank you, young master."

He turned his back, leaving only his smooth white back to me, and replied, "I will protect what is in my room. But even though the branches have been removed, the roots are still there. Don't let your guard down. You need to be more careful in your daily actions."

I let out a long sigh, "Lan Xiang has remembered the Young Master's teachings. But it's easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. Since she dared to attack the Young Master's people, she must not be afraid of a falling out. If it's just a personal grudge, it's fine. But if it's mixed with power disputes... the Young Master must be extra careful."

Tu Shanjing did not turn around and did not speak for a long time. I saw him standing there alone, like a lonely tree, like a flower standing in the cold, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say, where to start, so he could only lower his head and stir up a pool of water, letting his worries flow away with the water.

At this moment, a brisk voice came from outside the cave: "Rui Yang and Sen Ying are here to greet the young master. May I go in, please?"

Tu Shanjing turned around and sat back in the water, returning to his usual elegant demeanor, and said, "Come in."

Ruiyang was holding a folded soft couch, and Senying walked in with her head lowered, carrying a stack of fluffy blankets.

I looked at Tu Shanjing and asked, "Do you want Ruiyang to carry me back? How can he move me alone?"

Tu Shanjing smiled and said, "Rui Yang and Sen Ying will do."

I was shocked: "Senying?! With her small body..."

Tu Shanjing tapped me with his finger in the air, a blue light flew past, and my clothes were dry. Then he said, "Don't forget, she also has spiritual power."

Mori Ying still faced the ground and said softly, "Yes, Miss Lanxiang. I carry the water tank in the small kitchen every day."

My mouth opened wide and I couldn't close it. The big pot in the small kitchen could hold four or five warblers. I had to fetch water two or three times a day. I couldn't imagine her walking back and forth briskly with the pot full of water on her head.

Ruiyang smiled and said, "Miss, you have forgotten how to use spiritual power, so you can't remember how others use spiritual power. In fact, there are many jobs in this mansion that are difficult to do without spiritual power. Especially since our young master doesn't like to be surrounded by people, he doesn't have that many servants, and one person does the work of two people."

Tu Shanjing curled up one corner of his mouth and smiled: "Yes, yes, you work harder, and you can eat for two people!"

Ruiyang smiled without looking up: "Young Master is very wealthy, I will never go broke!"

Tu Shanjing nodded at him again: "You, you, I can support others, but I can't say anything about you! Stop talking so smoothly, why don't you reply quickly?!"

Ruiyang smiled without saying anything, spread the couch on the ground, and said, "Miss, please."

I lay down weakly, and Senying immediately spread a small blanket over me and covered my forehead with a handkerchief, saying, "It's cold outside at night, and you are weak and your forehead is sweating, don't catch a cold."

I looked at her gratefully and nodded. She nodded, then she and Ruiyang lifted the small couch. We said goodbye to Tu Shanjing and went back.

Although the mountain road was winding on the way back, the two of them carried me and I felt like I was walking on flat ground. It was true that walking was different with the blessing of spiritual power. I lay face up on the soft couch, my eyes filled with starlight and moonlight.

Ruiyang was holding it in front, grinning and saying, "Congratulations to the girl!"

I heard his sudden words and couldn't help wondering, "What's the good news?"

Sen Ying retorted, "Don't say too much! The young master asked the two of us to pick up the girl, he must not want to make it public! The girl's remaining poison has been cured, we just need to be happy in our hearts."

Ruiyang was silent, nodded, and lowered his head to concentrate on lifting the soft couch. A gust of cold wind blew, and I really felt a little cold on my forehead. I couldn't help but sigh that Senying was really thoughtful.

Thinking that I hadn't told her about the transfer to the study room, I said, "Sen Ying, the young master said that you can go to the study room to clean it tomorrow."

Sen Ying raised her head abruptly upon hearing this, and looked at me with a faint smile on her face. She nodded towards Rui Yang in front of her and said softly, "I see. Thank you, young lady."

I saw that she was very wary of Ruiyang, and I was a little confused. Ruiyang was a servant who served Jing. In addition to talking a lot and eating a lot, he was also a little cunning, but he was not so tactless that he would talk nonsense everywhere. Maybe Senying was cautious and didn't want him to know that I had asked for mercy, fearing that if something happened in the future, he would be caught by others.

So I winked at her and stopped talking.
