Seeing this, Chi Yang quickly pressed Jian Ai’s body, which was about to bounce up. “Sect Master, Lord Si Yue is fine. Don’t worry.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yang raised his chin at the other side of the room. “He’s right beside you.”

When Jian Ai heard this, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look. On the other bed in the room, Si Yue was lying there quietly with his eyes closed. They injected his hand with fluid.

“Lord Xiao Zhen already treated him. Lord Yu Wuyuan also used his genuine energy to stabilize his injuries. Lord Si Yue only needs to recuperate now. He’s fine,” Chi Yang said.

Yu Wuyuan?

“Yu Wuyuan is here?” Jian Ai turned around and looked at Chi Yang.

Chi Yang smiled comfortably. “Lord Yu Wuyuan arrived in time last night, so the situation was put under control.”

At this point, Chi Yang couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai with a worried expression and sigh softly. “Sect Master, you were in too much danger yesterday. You forcefully used the Blood Sacrifice. If it weren’t for Lord Yu Wuyuan, I’m afraid you…”

“What? I…” Jian Ai frowned and looked at Chi Yang in shock, but her mind was in a mess. “I forcefully used the Blood Sacrifice?”

Jian Ai had no impression at all. She couldn’t remember what happened after that. She only remembered that when she saw Si Yue injured, huge emotions had engulfed her and seemed to be out of control.

Chi Yang nodded truthfully. “You lost control. Don’t you remember?”

Jian Ai shook her head and apologized humbly. “I’m sorry. I can’t remember what happened last night. I made you worry.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open. Bai Zhou and the rest heard the voice in the living room and walked in.

“Sect Master, how do you feel?”

Xiao Zhen was the first to walk to Jian Ai’s bed to observe her condition. His usually unchanging face revealed worry.

Jian Ai swept her gaze across everyone’s faces. Everyone was around. Other than her and Si Yue, who were injured, everyone was safe.

“I’m fine,” Jian Ai said slowly and looked at Yu Wuyuan. “Thank you.”

When Yu Wuyuan heard this, a moment of horror flashed across his refined expression. He immediately lowered his head. “Sect Master, you’re being too serious. We didn’t protect you well enough, which caused you to be injured. Sect Master, please punish us.”

The others also bowed and said in unison, “Sect Master, please punish us.”

Seeing this, Jian Ai leaned against the bed frame and sighed at them. “I’m the one who lost control. Why should I punish you? I’m not a tyrant!”

“Where are those people?” Jian Ai looked up at Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen quickly said, “They’re trapped in another room by Yu Wuyuan’s sword array. Sect Master, you still need to rest. Why don’t you wait until you’ve recovered a little before handling this matter?”

Chi Lian chimed in, “These people are all extremely professional mercenaries. Even if we didn’t kill them, they wouldn’t be grateful for what we did. These people are very stubborn. I’m afraid it will be difficult to pry open their teeth in a short time.”

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. She naturally knew that these people were not afraid of death, so it was easier said than done to get what she wanted to know from them.

Therefore, Jian Ai had no intention of interrogating the other party personally.

“Have you informed Yun Buyao?” Jian Ai asked Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou nodded. “I’ve already informed her. Her flight will arrive this afternoon.”

“Let Yun Buyao do the questioning. We can save some energy,” Jian Ai said. The nerves in her head suddenly ached, making her gasp. She subconsciously raised her hand to press her temples.

“Sect Master, you need to rest!” Xiao Zhen quickly said.

Jian Ai’s body was too burdened, so it was normal for her brain to have such a reaction. She had to lie down and rest. She couldn’t think about anything else.

Not wanting to worry them, Jian Ai didn’t force herself. She didn’t have any strength left in her body and couldn’t even speak too loudly.

She nodded and lay back on the bed.

“I’ll make a bowl of porridge for the Sect Master,” Chi Yang said and left the room first.

In the other bedroom, the first to wake up was Gale.

Looking at the gray roof that greeted his eyes, Gale was in a daze for a moment. Only when he felt the cold touch from the blood vessels on the back of his hand did he realize he was lying on a bed and receiving an IV drip.

“You’re awake.”

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded. He was too familiar with this voice. Gale’s body trembled, and he instantly woke up.

“Irene!”

Gale followed the voice and looked at the corner of the room. On the ground at the edge of the window, Irene was sitting with her knees bent on a snow-white fur coat.

“Why are you also…”

Gale’s voice couldn’t help but tremble. He was the first person to faint last night. He didn’t know what had happened after that, let alone why Irene was here.

Not only that, but Irene, who was publicly recognized as the strongest in the mercenary group, had also become the other party’s captive.

Gale looked around. Louise, Robert, Eugene, and Andrew were all lying beside him on the bed.

Did everyone… lose?

“Why is this happening…” Gale muttered, her eyes filled with despair.

At this moment, Gale no longer had his usual flirtatious look, but horror had filled his eyes.

Irene looked at him expressionlessly and whispered, “The other party is too strong.”

As she said this, Chi Lian and Yu Wuyuan’s faces flashed across Irene’s mind.

Not to mention that the elegant man who appeared later defeated her in one move, but even the red-haired woman who seemed to be restrained by Irene might even be stronger than her.

The target this time was far stronger than the six of them.

“I seem to remember that I was poisoned?” Gale said and raised his hand to look at the needle on the back of his hand. He frowned in confusion. “This is…”

At that time, after inhaling Xiao Zhen’s poisonous smoke, the poison quickly corroded Gale, and he felt extremely suffocated. Gale thought he was going to die.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he was the least injured among them.

“The other party treated your injuries,” Irene explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened. In the next second, Yu Wuyuan walked in with a bowl of porridge.

“Eh? You’re awake!” Yu Wuyuan met Gale’s gaze and smiled. “But you can’t eat yet.”

As he spoke, he ignored Gale’s shocked gaze and walked to Irene with the porridge in his hand.

Irene sat on the ground and looked up at the man in front of her. Her lively eyes blinked.

Yu Wuyuan gently stirred the hot porridge in his bowl with a small spoon before slowly squatting down. He dug a mouthful with the spoon and raised his hand to Irene’s mouth. He looked at her gently and said, “Have some porridge.”
