I made the villain right.

After the war was settled, Fan Hua returned to the main hall under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

He sat on the main seat, looking at his exhausted subordinates below, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he glanced at the four deans sitting below him and asked, "Deans, please report the number of casualties in each hospital."

Hearing this, Du Xuan took the lead and said: "Two thousand people died in the four hospitals, and three thousand were injured."

Ran Ke: "One thousand people died and three thousand were injured in the three hospitals"

Yunchuan: "Five hundred people died in the fifth hospital, and one thousand people were injured. Three thousand people died in the first hospital, and one thousand people were injured."

Luo Yi was in a heavy mood and said dejectedly: "Four thousand people died in the Second Hospital and two thousand were injured."

Hearing the number of people reported by the Second Hospital, everyone burst into an uproar and started talking.

A small number of people in each courtyard had some opinions about Fan Hua, but they did not dare to say it in the hall in front of Fan Hua.

After listening to the numbers reported by each academy, Fan Hua's eyes were hidden with mystery and the expression under the mask was deep.

"The enemy has retreated, the guards can rest and recuperate during this period of time."

Luo Yi looked at Fan Hua with an ambiguous look in his eyes and asked, "Excuse me, why did Pavilion Master fail to return in time?"

The Second Hospital suffered heavy losses in this war. She hoped that Fan Hua could give her a reason and an explanation for the secret guards who died in the hospital.

As soon as these words were spoken, people around him gasped and admired Luo Yi's courage.

Fan Hua glanced at Du Xuan. Du Xuan did not tell everyone the reason because he was concerned about his dignity and the need to stabilize the morale of the troops. However, he did not think there was anything wrong with him saving her. It was his responsibility as her husband and there was nothing to hide.

But it is difficult to have the best of both worlds in this matter. As the leader of Fengyun Pavilion, I have failed in my duty and should give them an explanation, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

He glanced at Luo Yi indifferently, his eyes as calm as the night breeze.

He said truthfully: "I am going to save someone who is very important to me."

At this moment, Shi Jin's face flashed through his mind, and there was a hint of warmth in his low voice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and started talking about it.

“Who is the important person?”

"Who is so important to the Pavilion Master that he would abandon them without caring about their lives?"

When Luo Yi heard this, his face looked a little ugly. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a cold voice.

"As the head of a pavilion, I failed to fulfill my duties, resulting in heavy casualties among the various courtyards. I am willing to go to the Netherworld Pond to be punished and give an explanation to the various courtyards."

Fan Hua spoke in a cold and direct tone, in a businesslike manner, shutting everyone up.

He completely forgot Shi Jin's instructions not to get hurt.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The water in the Netherworld Pool is made from the juice of dozens of poisonous flowers. Once it seeps into the tendons and veins, the limbs will feel as if they are being burned by fire.

The most frightening thing is not this, but that all the secret guards of Fengyun Pavilion are infected with ice poison planted by the previous Pavilion Master. Soaking in the Nether Pool will stimulate the outbreak of the ice poison. You will be subjected to two kinds of torture at the same time, which is excruciatingly painful. Few people can endure it.

The ice poison was the poison that the former Pavilion Master used to control everyone in Fengyun Pavilion, and the cruel punishment of the Netherworld Pool was also set by him.

The Netherworld Pool is the highest punishment in Fengyun Pavilion. It is the place where people who have committed serious crimes are sent to be punished.

Few people who went in came out alive.

In Fengyun Pavilion, the only people who managed to survive this punishment were Fan Hua and Yun Chuan.

Ever since Fan Hua became the new Pavilion Master, this punishment has been abandoned.

Now that it was mentioned again, he was the one who was punished personally.

Ran Ke's eyes widened instantly. Was the Pavilion Master crazy? He wanted to go into the Netherworld Pool to be punished. Although he knew that the Pavilion Master was very powerful and did not take any punishment seriously, the Netherworld Pool was like hell and one could die at any time. It was no joke.

Yunchuan's face darkened. He had personally experienced the pain of entering the cold pool. His tendons and veins alternated between hot and cold, and there was unbearable pain in every part of his body. It felt like his bones and flesh were being tossed apart by someone. If Fanhua hadn't helped him, he would never have been able to get out.

Yunchuan frowned, knelt down and said: "Please think twice, Pavilion Master."

Du Xuan followed closely behind: "The incident happened suddenly, and the Pavilion Master has returned in time to repel the enemy, so it is not considered dereliction of duty. The Pavilion Master does not need to be tortured like this."

Immediately afterwards, the secret guards also knelt down and said in unison: "Master, please think twice."

Fan Hua insisted: "I have made up my mind. No need to persuade me. I will implement it in five days."

Fan Hua looked like he couldn't be persuaded even by ten oxen, and no one could persuade him against his decision.

For a moment, everyone was silent, with different thoughts in their minds.

After a while, Fan Hua stood up from the throne and walked down the steps with a majestic step. When everyone saw him leaving, they all knelt down and said, "Farewell, Pavilion Master."

Seeing Fan Hua's cold and aloof figure disappear outside the palace gate, everyone stood up and left the main hall.

Everyone left, and only three people were left.

Ran Ke looked at the direction where Fan Hua left, sighed, and said quietly: "It is certain that the Pavilion Master will be in danger if he enters the Netherworld Pool. I should study medical books more in the next few days and develop some medicine for him to relieve his pain."

Ran Ke put his hand on Du Xuan's shoulder and asked curiously, "The Pavilion Master just mentioned saving someone very important to him. Is that person a woman named Shi Jin? I suddenly became very curious about what kind of woman she is, to be able to subdue someone like the Pavilion Master."

Du Xuan took Ran Ke's hand away and did not give a direct answer: "You will know in the future." After that, Du Xuan left. Ran Ke hurriedly followed him, ignoring that there was a person standing behind them.

Yunchuan had heard their entire conversation. He rolled his eyes, a hint of worry flashed across his eyes, and then he left with an expressionless face.

Two days later.

After drinking the extremely cold Ganoderma lucidum and taking daily medicinal baths, all the remaining toxins in Shi Jin's body have been cleared away.

She had already written a letter back to Kyoto to report her safety. She wrote a lot of things in the letter. She described Fan Hua's true identity and her poisoning in great detail. She also expressed their attitudes and determination, hoping to get their blessings.

In addition, she made a decision. The opportunity to leave Kyoto was rare, so she wanted to take this opportunity to travel around and then return to Kyoto.

She had been feeling vaguely uneasy these past few days, as she was concerned about Fan Hua's plan to look for him and where they were planning to travel in the future.

After Shi Jin and his companions packed their bags early in the morning, they said goodbye to Fengming Mountain and headed for Fengyun Pavilion.

"Gu'er, when can we arrive at Fengyun Pavilion?" Shi Jin asked.

"If we set out early and keep on riding non-stop, we may arrive at night, but Fengyun Pavilion is in Yunwu Mountain, and the mountain roads there are not good. We can stay overnight in Yuncheng at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, and it would be better to go into the mountain tomorrow morning."

Shi Jin thought about it and agreed: "Okay, let's do it this way."

"Miss, should we write a letter to our son-in-law in advance to tell him that we are going to look for him?" Zhilu said.

Shi Jin heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.

Her letter probably couldn't be delivered to a place like Fengyun Pavilion, which has a strong sense of confidentiality and strict organization.

She didn't say it explicitly, but she smiled and said, "No need, let's go over and give him a surprise."

Upon hearing this, Zhilu immediately understood that these were the tricks that young couples loved to play.

Zhilu smiled helplessly and said: "Very good"
