The Mei family mansion was located on South Street of Fengshan City. Anyone could find it with a simple inquiry. The carriage driver drove to the Mei family home. When the steward saw that Mei Sanniang had returned, he immediately called for servants in a panic. The unconscious Mei Sanniang was carried through the front door by several maidservants. Family members who had been without news for five years had already been almost completely forgotten by the Mei family. Some Mei family descendants…-

The Heaven-Reaching River, running east to west, eternally churned with great waves and surged endlessly, dividing the land of Qingzhou into northern and southern banks. No one knew where this great river's source lay. People only knew that the Heaven-Reaching River's final destination was the sea, and that its tributaries spread across the wilderness. Even the boundless Wanheng Mountain Range was merely like branches on a tree or grass in the mountains compared to this great river. Qingzhou was…

At dawn, Xu Yan and Mei Sanniang hastily ate breakfast and, despite Little Black's snorting protests, came early to a large pharmacy on the west side of town. The pharmacy was indeed opened by the Mei family. Even Xu Yan could tell at a glance, because the pharmacy's signboard clearly read "Mei Family Pharmacy" in four large characters. The early-rising young apprentice pushed open the main door, stretched lazily, and prepared to sweep the entrance. Looking up, he saw a pale-faced woman and a…

Roads are made by people walking them - this was something Xu Yan often heard from the old Taoist's mouth. There indeed was no road ahead, only patches of endless white snow. But as long as they walked through it, wouldn't a path appear behind them? Simple logic - perhaps pigs would understand it, but many people wouldn't. Gritting his teeth, Xu Yan decided to try crossing the snowy mountains. Even if they truly couldn't make it through, he could still turn back. He certainly couldn't just wait…

It had been a full night since the poisoning occurred. Most of the deadly poison in Mei Sanniang's body had been absorbed. What Xu Yan was doing now was merely clearing the remaining poison from her stomach. After Mei Sanniang had vomited three times, Xu Yan placed her under the shade of a tree and crouched beside a bluestone by the small stream, struggling to grind the two or three medicinal herbs he had found along the way. Both arms still ached unbearably and couldn't be lifted at all. Xu Yan…

Following Mei Sanniang's directions, Xu Yan found the hidden compartment in the wall. After great effort, he used his powerless arms to retrieve a small, exquisite nanmu wood box, smaller than his palm and very delicate. What Mei Sanniang had mentioned was inside the box, but Xu Yan didn't want to look. He tucked it into his chest, carried the woman on his back, and left the courtyard, departing the bandit stronghold through the rear vegetable garden. Before long, the staggering figure carrying…

In the pitch-black kitchen, the sharp long sword whistled down. The little Taoist, with nowhere to escape, watched helplessly as the sword tip grew closer and larger, finally piercing directly into his left eye. Eyelids were just a thin layer - whether closed or open made no difference now. The moment the sword edge entered his eye, Xu Yan thought he would die. The two stones gripped tightly in his hands remained motionless. The reason he didn't fight back desperately before dying was because…

The silent sword light slashed down above Xu Yan's head. The small Taoist seemed completely unaware, but the next moment, as Xu Yan leaned forward slightly preparing to step into the room, his stride suddenly halted and his body retreated backward. Whoosh! The sword strike missed, and Liao Jiuming, who had been hiding behind the door, was startled before roaring and charging out. Xu Yan indeed hadn't noticed the sword light overhead, but he had already determined that this quiet main house was…

Xu Yan's arms had little strength left, and his stamina was extremely depleted after a night of fighting. Escaping Liao Jiuming's pursuit was simply impossible. The sky was gradually brightening, and if he stayed outside, Xu Yan had almost no chance of survival. He had no choice but to rush toward the pitch-black kitchen. Only in the darkness, relying on his left eye's night vision ability, would he have a sliver of hope for survival. Otherwise, today would certainly be his death. Seeing the…

Xu Yan, who rushed out of the kitchen, stumbled and fell after running only a short distance, nearly tumbling into the two fire pits in the courtyard. Though the fires had long since died out, falling headfirst into them could still burn him half to death. Seeing the little Taoist's disheveled appearance, Han Lei, who had just charged out of the house, became even more confused. He increasingly felt his guess was correct - that little Taoist must have been threatened by Lu Hai into administering…
