The whip lashed quickly, and Dong Huiying was solely concerned about Shujun. It was midday when she left the city, but in her haste, she didn’t even bring food or water.
She traveled day and night, pushing her horse to the point where it nearly foad at the mouth, managing to cut the five or six-day journey in half. By the evening of the third day, she rode into the city under the fiery clouds.
Earlier in Nanling, she heard the Shopkeeper ntion the Substore Owner, Wang. This Substore Owner ran a pawn shop and was loyal to Shujun. He must know where Shujun is!
She headed straight for the pawn shop!
At the sa ti.
Still, there was no news of his wife over the past few days, and Shujun was worried.
"It seems my wife has gone elsewhere. I have no clues here, and I do not know if she is safe now."
The red clothing was fiery as flas, like a fierce fire, making his face appear pallid, with a hint of sickness.
Shu Yu was dressed in white, his injuries were slightly lighter than Shujun’s, and their wife had prepared thoroughly for them, as the brocade bags they carried had not only poisons and antidotes but also dicines for healing and saving lives.
Shu Yu’s injuries healed significantly within a few days. He too was contemplating, considering the places their wife might have gone.
At that mont, "Third Master!"
The Substore Owner Wang hurried in. Previously, he only knew this Third Master to be clever, otherwise, he wouldn’t have built such a business empire. But ever since the battle outside the Furai Inn, it beca known that the Third Master was not only clever but also possessed extraordinary martial prowess. Together with his brothers, their mysterious skills were indeed intimidating and rciless.
"There’s a woman outside who wants to see you, Third Master!"
Just as the Substore Owner Wang finished speaking, footsteps were heard from behind: "Stop, you can’t force your way in!"
The pawn shop’s attendant was anxious, but Dong Huiying walked in haste, unable to wait even for a mont. Hence, when the Substore Owner Wang reported, she followed along out of impatience.
"Shujun..." As soon as she uttered the na, she spotted Shu Yu, dressed in white like snow.
She was startled.
This was another pleasant surprise.
She had thought only Shujun was here, little knowing Shu Yu was present too.
She did not deliberately suppress her voice to make it rough as usual. So as soon as she spoke, both of them stiffened simultaneously and imdiately looked over at her.
Shujun, who was bedridden, was slower to react, but Shu Yu moved swiftly. Almost teleporting, he suddenly rushed toward her: "Huiying!!"
Even though this person’s appearance and build were entirely different from mory, his voice, his gaze, the affection in his eyes, was so familiar. It was what he had rehearsed countless tis in his heart during the nights when he dreamt of her.
The man reached out an arm, scooped her waist, and pulled her into an embrace that emitted a cool, fragrant scent.
Dong Huiying sniffed, this journey was worth it, truly worth it!
"Shu Yu!"
She embraced Shu Yu back, then looked toward the bedridden Shujun.
Shujun was sitting up, clutching his chest: "Xiao Hui~~" His eyes showed tenderness, longing, and deep helplessness.
Finally seeing her.
Even though this journey was imnsely tortuous, they had reunited at last.
Dong Huiying’s sharp eyes quickly noticed Shujun’s ailing and injured body.
She hurried toward Shujun.
"You’re hurt?" Her eyes were almost tearing up in rage!
Shujun, with his captivating eyes, said teasingly, "You ungrateful little thing, who do you think caused this? But if you give a kiss, I won’t feel pain anymore. Being able to see you again, see you safe and sound, makes any injury and pain worthwhile."
