They looked at each other and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

They passed through the secret passage and soon came to a very spacious secret room, where they saw Zi Yi and Qing Feng lying motionless, with wounds all over their bodies.

If Chu Xi hadn't seen the rise and fall of their chests, he would have suspected that they had met with an accident.

There were signs of a fight around.

"Zi Yi, are you okay?"

Chu Xi rushed to Zi Yi's side. When Zi Yi saw it was Chu Xi, he covered his chest and quickly got up from the ground.

"Miss……"

Zi Yi looked at Chu Xi in surprise.

"Zi Yi, what happened to your face?" Chu Xi looked at Zi Yi's face in shock. There was a long cut on the side of her face. The wound was black, and there was faint black blood oozing out. He was immediately distressed.

"That old man actually used poison. It's really despicable."

Zi Yi said angrily.

"Who is it?" Chu Xi was surprised.

"It's the one-eyed old man. He's quite good at martial arts and is also good at using poison." Zi Yi gritted his teeth. He didn't dodge in time and his face was cut by his sword.

Then the old guy cheated and escaped.

"How is Qingfeng?" Chu Xi turned his head to look at Qingfeng.

I found him still lying on the ground, with a sword wound in his chest. His clothes were stained with blood and his lips were a little pale.

Chu Xi quickly threw a bottle of golden wound medicine to Yanhuo.

Yanhuo tore open Qingfeng's shirt and began to apply medicine to him.

Chu Xi pulled Zi Yi to sit down and asked her to turn her face to the side. There was no water, so he could only take out the holy spring water he had just filled to help her clean the wound, and then slowly applied medicine and bandaged it.

"All right"

Chu Xi neatly tied a beautiful bow on Zi Yi's head, and nodded with satisfaction at her masterpiece.

Zi Yi's face was tied up and she couldn't move, and she couldn't see, so she could only let Chu Xi do what she wanted.

When Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes from his coma, he saw a purple robe wrapped like a pig's head with a big bow on his head. Even though he was gentle and elegant, he couldn't help laughing at this moment. As a result, due to the huge ups and downs, the wound on his chest was affected, and he instantly grimaced in pain.

Zi Yi was originally quite worried about him, but when she saw him laughing at her so heartlessly, she turned around and left with a stern face.

"Qingfeng, you're awake." Chu Xi walked to his side and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Thank you Miss Chu for your concern. It's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days."

Qingfeng responded weakly, then glanced at the master behind Chu Xi and quickly distanced himself from her.

He was afraid that he would be killed by his own master before he was stabbed to death by anyone.

"Then why did you faint?" Chu Xi didn't notice anything wrong and still squatted beside Qingfeng.

"Ah, this..." Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed when talking about this. He was drugged by the one-eyed old man and fell unconscious immediately.

"What's this?"

"The old man sprinkled a handful of medicine powder over, and the guy fell into coma immediately." Zi Yi spoke suddenly from the side, with a hint of sabotage.

Qingfeng's face felt a little hot, but it was not his fault. He had clearly held his breath and did not inhale, but he still got hit.

Chu Xi understood.

"This old man is an expert in using poison. Those drugs must have been modified by him. Even if they are not inhaled into the body, they will still cause harm if they come into contact with the skin."

Qingfeng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when the powder was sprinkled, the man in purple who dodged was fine. It was because I was careless.

"No wonder this old man has a medicine man with him. He is not very old, and looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old."

"Medicine man?"

Chu Xi suddenly remembered the large jar filled with medicinal juice in the secret room and the various medicinal materials placed on the shelves, and felt that it was possible.

"Did he also take the medicine man away?"

"Yes."

"What on earth does this old man want to do?" Qingfeng looked solemn and very puzzled.

Everyone was silent. After all, everything in this house was too weird.

"We have to find a way to open the door now." Chu Xi looked up at the stone door and spoke to break the silence.

Yan Jingshuo slowly walked to the stone door, looked carefully for a while, and saw a place that was obviously rubbed by someone for a long time, leaving some mottled marks. He raised his hand and pressed lightly, and the stone door opened.

What came into view was another dark passage.

Everyone perked up and stood up.

"Let's go." Yan Jingshuo still held Chu Xi in his arms, and Chu Xi was not surprised.

The passage connects to the exit, which is a cave entrance inside a rockery.

When I walked out of the cave in the rockery, the sky outside was dark again, so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me.

The hall was brightly lit. When Chu Xi and the others approached, they saw a one-eyed old man holding a bowl of medicine and patiently coaxing the woman in white to drink it.

"Rou Rou, the medicine is cold. Can I feed you?"

The woman in white didn't say anything, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she sat motionless on the chair with a dull expression. Her hair was a little wet, and tiny drops of water dripped down her hair.

"Rou Rou, come on, open your mouth."

The one-eyed old man held up a spoon and fed the medicine into the woman's mouth gently.

After she finished drinking the medicine, he carefully wiped the soup from the corners of her mouth before looking up at them.

"You ignorant kids, you are lucky to still be alive..."

The one-eyed old man snorted coldly, his expression twisted, completely devoid of the gentleness he had just shown.

Everyone was silent as they drew their swords and confronted each other.

"Old man, what do you mean we are still alive?"

Chu Xi looked at the old man in front of him with a cold voice.

"My insect monster was killed by you?"

"You actually raised that disgusting big bug?" Chu Xi asked back, shocked.

This old man is really talented, he can raise such a big monster.

It would be terrible if someone took advantage of you.

How did the old man tame it?

"I spent decades cultivating it. And you actually killed it!"

"The most despicable thing is that you even brazenly broke into my secret room and killed all the poisonous spiders I raised. You are really despicable."

"You are really unreasonable, old man. If you hadn't used us as food to feed your insect monster, we wouldn't have killed it for no reason. Are you sure we can't beat it?"

"Little girl, you are quite articulate. Yes, I let it out on purpose."

The old man did not deny it and admitted it openly. After all, those who had stayed overnight with him in the past were treated as food by his pet to grind its teeth.

The old man stared at Chu Xi for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on her wrist, with a look of surprise on his face. He pointed at her bracelet and said excitedly:

"Is that the Fire Cloud Bracelet? Is it really the Fire Cloud Bracelet?"

"Do you know him?" Chu Xi put his hands behind his back.

know?

More than just knowing him, he has been waiting here for decades, just waiting for the owner of this bracelet.

"It seems you have already been to that place."

The old man kept his eyes on Chu Xi, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Yan Jingshuo was a little unhappy when he saw him staring at him, so he directly protected Chu Xi behind him.

"Where?" Chu Xi poked his head out from behind Yan Jingshuo.
