Ye Shikai turned his head with difficulty, a white figure descended from the sky, followed by several silver lights shooting out, directly striking several black-clad men around Ye Shikai, almost falling to the ground instantly.

Bam.

The black-clad man who was preparing to assassinate Ye Shikai dodged sideways, avoiding the silver light. Ye Shikai now saw clearly; these silver lights were none other than silver needles. There was no doubt that these needles were poisoned. Ye Shikai lay on the ground, a woman dressed in white stood beside him, but due to the angle, he couldn't see her face.

"Who are you?" The highly skilled black-clad man emitted a mechanical sound using a voice changer, evidently surprised by the woman's sudden intrusion. Ye Shikai wanted to stand up to save Su Ziqing, but he was entirely powerless, unable to move.

"I dare you to come closer." The woman's cold voice immediately stirred Ye Shikai's memories. This voice was too familiar; it was none other than Wuyan, the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect.

How could she be here?

"Quick, retreat with the woman." The black-clad man said coldly, and his subordinates grabbed Su Ziqing, quickly retreating backward. The black-clad man also threw two smoke bombs onto the ground, and instantly, the forest was filled with smoke, obstructing Wuyan's view. As the smoke cleared, the group of black-clad men had already left, but Su Ziqing was taken by them.

"Hey, where are you going?" Wuyan turned her head and saw Ye Shikai leaning on his sword, forcing himself to stand, wobbling as if the wind would blow him over.

"Of course I'm going to save Qingqing." Ye Shikai uttered this sentence with difficulty.

"In your current state, even walking is a struggle, and you still want to save someone, hmph." Wuyan snorted coldly, having traveled all the way from Yun City to rescue him, only for Ye Shikai to be so ungrateful; given her temperament, how could she not be angry?

"Enough talk, help me detoxify first, we'll discuss other matters later." Ye Shikai was anxious, but his Inner Strength was unusable, and he couldn't even use his Storage Ring. As a result, he couldn't retrieve the Shennong Pill to detoxify.

"Hmph, so arrogant when asking for help." Though Wuyan expressed displeasure, she still used silver needles to pin Ye Shikai's acupoints and forced the poison out using Inner Strength. Earlier, Ye Shikai had been injected with a control-type poison preventing Inner Strength flow, an extremely insidious poison for cultivators.

Ye Shikai regained a bit of Inner Strength, immediately took out a Shennong Pill and swallowed it, then took out two Quick Healing Pills to restore his stamina.

"No way, I have to save Qingqing. Those bastards dare to capture her; I'll rip them to pieces." Ye Shikai cursed viciously, planning to move, but was blocked by Wuyan.

"Wait, do you know where they ran to? You plan to chase them in such a vast forest; you'll never find them in a lifetime." Wuyan said irritably, this kid was usually clever, but when it came to his family, he'd lose his bearings.

"But... I have to find her." Ye Shikai shouted.

"Calm down first. If those people intended to harm Su Ziqing, she'd already be dead. Moreover, she is just an ordinary person, they wouldn't go to such lengths for her, those people's target is obviously you." Wuyan hurriedly explained. Though Ye Shikai was extremely anxious, upon thinking carefully, Wuyan made a lot of sense. Su Ziqing was merely a college student without enemies; those people wanted Ye Shikai's life, so now they would surely use Su Ziqing as a hostage to lure Ye Shikai.

"What's your plan then?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Of course."

"Tell me quickly."

"Wait," Wuyan said firmly.

"What are you saying?" Ye Shikai was a little shocked, not going to rescue, just waiting here, how could this be right?

"Just wait. Rest assured, at the latest by tomorrow morning, they'll definitely come to you." Wuyan said confidently, as if she'd already predicted their actions. Though Ye Shikai was unwilling, he had no choice, it was too dark, he couldn't find them.

.....................

"How did you know I was in danger and came to save me?" Ye Shikai, unable to sleep, started chatting with Wuyan. Frankly, if she hadn't acted in time today, he might not have survived.

"I... I'm good at predictions, foreseeing accurately, of course, I could know."

"Nonsense, it was Senior Dugu who told you, right?" Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, directly exposing Wuyan's words, making her shy and kicking him lightly.

"Anyway... thank you." No matter what, Ye Shikai was very grateful to Wuyan for coming as soon as she heard he was in danger.

"Hmph, you are my husband, if you die, wouldn't I be widowed." Wuyan's tone was very domineering. Frankly speaking, whoever married her would surely have a tough time; Wuyan had Ji Qian's strength and backing, plus Su Ziqing's temperament, it was downright terrifying.

"Ahem, why are you even thinking about this here in Yanjing, which isn't your territory? Behave yourself." Ye Shikai coughed twice, suddenly felt a bit guilty, hoping Wuyan wouldn't bring up marriage as a condition again this time.

"Hmph, but only you and I are here, the night is long, why not..."

"Get lost," Ye Shikai shouted.

Speaking of which, Wuyan was two years younger than Su Ziqing, why was she in such a hurry to marry...

Indeed, such a formidable woman, worrying about marriage.

"Wuyan, aren't you the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect? Do you have any other means to help find people?" Two hours later, Ye Shikai still couldn't relax his mind, worried about Su Ziqing's safety, each second was torment.

"Hmph, let me show you then." Wuyan waved her hand, Ye Shikai faintly smelled a light fragrance.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai heard the sound of bees by his ear and instinctively moved away.

"What, summoning bees?"

"Country bumpkin, these are my sect's Spiritual Bees, used specially for reconnaissance," Wuyan said indifferently, within minutes, thousands of Spiritual Bees flew over.

"How does this work?"

"These Spiritual Bees can detect the group's location and report back to me."

"That's amazing," Ye Shikai couldn't help but marvel that such intelligent bees exist, understanding human speech.

"Got it, I already know their location," Wuyan suddenly said.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go quickly," Ye Shikai shouted excitedly.

"No hurry, they are heading here now, probably coming to find us."
