Outside the cave of Yang Dou, he clapped his hands to stop everyone from entering. He instructed them to gather the unconscious individuals together and provide treatment for them.
Inside the cave, the atmosphere was lively and chaotic. Gradually, Yang Bingyi began to regain her clarity.
"Senior, why aren't you moving?" Chen Anlin, lying down leisurely with his arm around her waist, suddenly noticed that she had gone still.
Yang Bingyi stared at him, a realization dawning on her, causing her heart to sink. She ultimately could not withstand the effects of this poison. It was the poison of the Elder He Huan, after all; how could it be easily resisted? Yet, deep down, she felt a sense of unwillingness. After all, she was still a young lady who had yet to reach adulthood.
She never imagined that her innocence would be lost like this. The key point was that Chen Anlin was so much younger than her; if word got out, her reputation would be ruined forever.
She hurriedly moved aside and, realizing her attire was inadequate, quickly grabbed her clothes to cover herself.
"Master, that's my clothing!"
In a flustered state, Yang Bingyi no longer resembled the dignified leader she usually was; instead, she looked like a girl who had tasted forbidden fruit.
Chen Anlin felt an overwhelming urge to embrace her and express his concern. However, before he could act on this impulse, Yang Bingyi regained her previous cold demeanor. A look of frustration crossed her face as she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I told you before," Chen Anlin replied with a hint of sorrow in his eyes. "When I discovered something was wrong here, I dealt with the guards and came in. I found out that Zhao Liguo had ill intentions towards you, so I ambushed him and took care of it. But then..."
As he recounted the painful moment, he shot a resentful glance at Yang Bingyi. "I didn’t expect you to suddenly tackle me! I was completely unprepared! How am I supposed to face anyone after this? I haven't even married yet!"
Originally intending to question Chen Anlin herself, Yang Bingyi found that he had already taken on a role of grievance, making it seem as if it was her fault instead.
However, upon careful consideration, it was indeed Chen Anlin who saved her. It was also her initiative.
She felt a wave of annoyance at herself for having put the young man in such a situation. Suddenly, her sense of loss diminished significantly, replaced by a newfound feeling of having gained something.
"Anlin, don’t cry. I won’t tell anyone; you can rest assured," she said.
"Master, I’m not worried about whether it will be revealed or not. What I mean is that you need to take responsibility for me," she continued. "Looking at your expression, it seems like you want to deny everything. If that’s the case, I’ll just have to talk to your disciples and let them judge."
Chen Anlin wore a look of deep sorrow and, as he spoke, he intended to get dressed and leave.
"Wait! This is too embarrassing; how can you say that?" Yang Bingyi suddenly panicked and hurriedly grabbed Chen Anlin's hand, almost pleading. "Don’t say anything. Besides, I never said I wouldn’t take responsibility."
"Then how do you plan to take responsibility? Woe is me! My pure self has been tarnished like this!" Chen Anlin lamented, pounding his chest and nearly crying.
As he spoke, he leaned against Yang Bingyi's shoulder and slid down onto her chest.
What a comforting sense of security it was.
"Alright," Yang Bingyi sighed as she held Chen Anlin. "When I say I’ll take responsibility, I will definitely do so. As for how I’ll take responsibility, I’ll teach you how to cultivate from now on. Is that okay?"
"Is that all?" Chen Anlin asked.
"What else do you want?" Yang Bingyi looked down at him with exasperation.
"I’m a very devoted person. Since we’re together now, during those quiet nights when one feels lonely, can I come to find you?"
Yang Bingyi felt a chill run down her spine and her expression turned strange. "You don’t mean…?"
"Don’t worry, Master. I just want to hug you and chat a bit—really, just chatting!" he reassured her. "Please don’t overthink it."
"Just chatting?" Yang Bingyi breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, she nodded. "Alright then."
"Hmm, Master, can we hug?"
Really?
Yang Bingyi shot Chen Anlin an exasperated glance.
In the past, she would have certainly refused such a request.
But as the saying goes, once two people truly come together, their way of thinking shifts from that of outsiders to that of partners.
So when it came to Chen Anlin’s request, she naturally accepted it without hesitation.
However, she might not even be aware of this default setting of hers.
At this moment outside, it was almost dawn. Some disciples had already arrived, and the body of the masked man at the entrance had been discovered. Zhang Xiaoli, upon hearing about the situation here, rushed over immediately. What? Master and that Chen Anlin guy are still inside?? Treating Master’s injuries??
As Zhang Xiaoli heard this, he recalled the scene of Chen Anlin undressing Wu Qianlian for treatment, and his anger flared up instantly. That was not treatment; it was clearly taking advantage of her. Zhang Xiaoli was truly furious and was about to head inside.
Slap!
Yang Dou swiftly delivered a slap, sending Zhang Xiaoli flying back. His anger surged once more. This Chen Anlin's lackey actually dared to hit him. He had previously thought Yang Dou looked decent and should be a woman.
"Sister, look! She actually hit me!" Zhang Xiaoli ran over to Wu Qianlian to complain.
Wu Qianlian frowned slightly and explained, "Zhang Xiaoli, I’ve told you that Chen Zi is a physician and is treating Master right now."
"I don’t believe it, Sister! Even if it’s treatment, why can’t we go in? Right?"
"I’ve said it before; when my family’s child is treating someone, no one can disturb him." Yang Dou replied.
Inside the cave, after rewarding Yang Binging once again, Chen Anlin received a glare from her. "What a little nuisance." She had just said she would only take a look outside, but before she knew it...
What a little nuisance indeed!
However, she never expected that this feeling would be so addictive.
Wait, this feeling...
Yang Bingyi's gaze sharpened. Her previously weak injuries had surprisingly begun to heal. Even more astonishingly, her cultivation level had improved a bit.
It should be noted that due to the impact of her recent advancement, she had not only wasted those medicinal pills but also suffered setbacks in her cultivation. She had expected no progress for at least ten days. She had resigned herself to this fate, but unexpectedly, Chen Anlin had given her a pleasant surprise.
Chen Anlin, what on earth is going on?
"Master, this is a type of dual cultivation technique I practice," Chen Anlin explained without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Yang Bingyi's eyes widened in disbelief, followed by displeasure. "Dual cultivation technique? That's rather dubious."
"Master, there are many types of techniques; dual cultivation is no different. Not all of them are bad. Besides, you just felt it yourself; it benefits both of us. Moreover, I once read an ancient text that claimed the Hundred Flowers Technique also has such effects."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I have practiced the Hundred Flowers Technique for decades; how could I not know?"
"If the Master doesn't believe me, then we can find a time to test it out."
However, the pressing matter at hand was to deal with the Taiping Sect. They must think you are injured at this moment. Let's use that to our advantage and set up an ambush here!
Chen Anlin laid out his plan.
"Let's do as you say."
At that moment, Chen Anlin approached Zhao Liguo's corpse and began rummaging through his storage bag. Soon enough, he found the type of Hehuan poison Zhao had used before. However, it appeared that there was no antidote for it.
He also discovered a list within the bag that recorded all the insiders from the Taiping Sect!
In addition to that, there was information regarding Zhang Xiaoli's village. The village had been brutally slaughtered, but there was more to the story.
The entire village had actually been killed by Master Yang Bingyi herself.
Zhao Liguo had kept this list with the intention of revealing the truth to Zhang Xiaoli at a critical moment to betray Yang Bingyi. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoli had always been lackluster and possessed mediocre strength, so Zhao Liguo never considered him a significant threat.
