attended private school. It was only because of the warlord chaos that her entire family was killed by the infamous Yuan warlord. Because she was attending private school, she narrowly escaped. In t...The guard also felt a tinge of regret. To have such powerful skills, he wished to see them for himself as well.

If he knew the one who attacked him was a twelve-year-old girl with a damaged heart, he would probably be greatly shocked.

"What does it mean"

The emperor put down the scroll in his hand and looked up and asked.

"When our people found out that Princess Xiangyi had an accident, they followed the wheel tracks to the Susu Palace. Sadly, the entire Susu Palace was gone."

"Gone They ran away"

"The entire mountain gate has vanished! I had people search the mountaintop thoroughly, but found nothing."

"That's interesting.

"

The Emperor was truly interested this time.

“My subordinates have already arranged for someone to keep an eye on her. As long as the woman appears, or there is any movement, they will report it immediately.”

People with such abilities should serve the court. Keep an eye out for them, and when you find someone, bring them to me.

Yes, subordinates understand!

Those left at the foot of Sùnǚ Palace received the message five days later. They had used carrier pigeons to send it, but unfortunately, they found nothing during their watch. The entire Sùnǚ Palace seemed to have never existed, leaving no trace behind.

While the interior of the Jade Palace was shrouded in sadness, for Junior Sister Liàn Yī's heart had been severely damaged and was now beyond repair.

"It's all my fault! When I met Xiangyi Princess's men at the foot of the mountain, I should have stopped them."

Wang Zhenzhen lamented, "At the time, I saw Lianri skillfully deal with those guards and thought nothing of it. Who knew that when I returned after setting up the formation, I would see blood in front of Lianri, realizing something was terribly wrong."

“You have no need to blame yourself. Blame the poisonous woman Xiangyi instead. If it weren't for her sending assassins to attack us in the dead of night, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. Moreover, this was only possible because your little junior sister had set up a mist formation beforehand. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Su Lin was more composed. Though she comforted her fellow disciples verbally, her eyes remained fixed on their master's door.

"May all the deities bless my little apprentice! Bless her to turn misfortune into good fortune and hardship into blessings!"

Susulan could only pray to the countless gods and Buddhas in the sky.

The yard fell silent again.

Su-min had already taken Ripple's pulse inside the room, and the situation wasn't optimistic. She could only use her own internal energy to help Ripple stay conscious, her eyes filled with regret.

"My child, why are you so reckless I told you to take care of your own body. Master can still wield his sword, he certainly won't let her get away with it."

"Master, please don't be angry! I grew up in Su Nü Palace since I was young. I received love from all my senior and junior brothers and sisters. I am happy to have every blade of grass and tree here as company. This is my home, I won't allow them to run wild. This time it's just a warning. If there's another time, I will make Xiang Yi die without a burial place."

Her complexion was as pale as paper, her lips turning purple, yet she still held onto Su Minyi's hand, trying to defend herself.

"Silly child, there's always next time. You might not even make it through this one!"

Su Minyi rarely put on a cold face and said.

Immediately, he took Lian Ri's hand and began to impart his internal energy to her. The two of them practiced the same kung fu, so their internal energies wouldn't clash with each other.

"Master, listen to me."

Ripples grabbed Su Minyi's hand and said softly.

"You said."

"Master, my meridians have been nurtured by you for twelve years, and they have reached their limit. As I grow older, the wounds in my heart remain, hindering the growth of my heart. This day will come sooner or later, so please don't waste your inner strength."

This time, Su Minyi didn't retort. She just held onto Lian Yi's hand tightly, a layer of water shining in her eyes.

Over the years, she has been nurturing ripples' inner strength. She knows best that without what happened recently, ripples would have lasted at most a year. This was assuming she didn't use her inner energy and took good care of her. Even then, she had been trying to find ways, searching for medicine and skilled healers, hoping to prolong ripples' life.

But Xiangyi, because of her greed, plotted to destroy the Su Nü Palace. This led to Lian'i's intervention to eliminate the enemy, causing the pressure on her heart meridian to become unbearable and finally erupt. Forget a year, even a month was a distant hope.

"Stop talking, I'll use my inner energy to keep you alive for now. When your condition stabilizes, I will personally take you to Yaogu Valley and ask Yaogui to heal you."

Su Min gently patted Lian Yi's hand, as if she had made up her mind and said.

"Master, I have found a way to heal the heart pulse. Don't go seeking that old scoundrel, Yaoguǐ."

The ripples hurriedly waved their hands.

"Ripples, don't try to comfort me. You haven't even left the mountain gate, where could you possibly find a way"

Subin apparently didn't believe Ripples words.

"Master, the disciple has never lied. This method is called Breaking the Chrysalis and Becoming a Butterfly. It's somewhat dangerous, but it can allow me to completely break free from the wounds on my heart meridian. I need Master to protect me during this process."

Ripples said firmly.

"Tell me how to do it, and I'll see if it's possible!"

Susminyi said half-believingly.

Liàn Yī's ripples took out the red lacquer blood jade orb from space. This was something she was allowed to take away after completing her last plane's mission.

"What is this"

Su Min looked at the blood-red beads and asked directly.

Liàn Yī didn't want to explain further, so she directly swallowed the blood jade bead and then explained:

"In a while, the medicine will take effect and wrap me entirely in a red cocoon, just like a silkworm spinning silk, encasing itself within. After some time, the silkworm becomes a butterfly, and I too will be reborn."

As Su Minyi listened to Lian Ri's tale, she suddenly saw red threads appear within her disciple's body, carefully winding around him.

"Ripples, how are you feeling What do you sense"

"Su Min could only let go of her hand, and asked anxiously,"

"Master, don't worry. I feel much better, more relaxed. I just feel a little tired and need to take a nap. When I wake up again, I will be able to see you."

After finishing, she slowly closed her eyes. As she drifted into a deep sleep, ripples silently prayed that the life-saving blood jade bead Honglian had given her would allow her to survive this ordeal. After all, she was randomly placed this time with no plot, no mission, but she still had to ensure her survival, living until the millstone found her.

Su Min watched as the crimson cocoon enveloped the ripples entirely, and she could only choose to believe.

Dark Guard Training Camp

Xia Qi inexplicably felt tightness in his chest. He touched his heart, where a scar was clearly visible. It was now the size of an infant's fist and perfectly covered his sternum.

After the discomfort Xia Qi felt subsided, he quickly shoved the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth. Someone was already eyeing his steamed bun hungrily.

"After you finish eating, go for a run. In one month, we will select ten people from your group of thirty to enter the preliminary Shadow Guard camp. Then, it will depend on your individual abilities."

A man with a black face spoke loudly.

"Yes!"

Thirty people immediately responded, looking at their companions around them, who were also competitors a month later. Everyone was putting in their best effort to train.
