As Bai XiRuo spoke halfway, she suddenly snapped back to reality. Tears streamed down her face as she exclaimed excitedly:

　　“Brother Tie! Is it really you?”

　　Yang TieXin turned around, gently stroking her long hair and said:

　　“XiRuo, now that you’re a princess consort, living in luxury and splendor, you should forget about me!” With that, he tried to push Bai XiRuo away.

　　But Bai XiRuo held onto him tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably as she said:

　　“Brother Tie, don’t you understand my feelings?”

　　“For eighteen years, I’ve longed for you day and night. The mansion was built for me, just like the one in our village!”

　　“Brother Tie, I belong to you in life, and in death, I'll be your ghost! Please take me away now, even if it means death, I want to be with you till the end!”

　　With that, she collapsed into Yang TieXin’s arms, crying softly.

　　Fang Yichen knew they couldn’t stay in the mansion any longer, so he urged them to follow him out.

　　Yang Tiexin finally managed to persuade Bao Xiruo to stop crying. She didn’t take any valuables with her and just followed Yang Tiexin and the others out of the thatched cottage.

　　The group didn’t dare to use the main entrance, instead heading towards the backyard wall of the Wang mansion.

　　At this moment, Sage Wang and Guo Jing were causing a commotion in the Wang mansion, drawing all the guards away. Since the place where the princess consort lived was remote, no guards were to disturb them.

　　Before long, the five of them arrived at the small door in the backyard, which was unguarded. Fang Yichen used a dagger to cut off the iron lock on the door, and they smoothly exited the Wang mansion.

　　They encountered no obstacles along the way. When Fang Yichen and the others reached the inn’s entrance, they coincidentally met Sage Wang being carried by Guo Jing.

　　Although they were puzzled, they hurried forward to help, except Fang Yichen, who knew the reason but didn’t reveal it.

　　Yang Tiexin knocked on the inn’s door. Although the waiter was curious about why they returned so late, he didn't ask much, opened the door, and let them in.

　　After helping the Sage back to his room, Fang Yichen pretended not to know and asked:

　　“Sage, why are you injured? Weren’t you supposed to attend the banquet at the Wang mansion with second brother?”

　　Before Wang Zhenren could speak, Guo Jing angrily interrupted:

　　“Elder brother! That little prince Wan Yankang is a beast! He actually ordered his martial arts subordinates to surround Sage during the banquet.”

　　“The Tibetan Monk Spiritual Master unexpectedly hid a potent poison in his Iron Palm technique. Zhenren didn’t notice it at first and accidentally got poisoned during the melee.”

　　“Fortunately, Sage’s profound skills allowed him to suppress the poison forcibly, driving away those martial arts experts and escaping with me.”

　　“As Sage’s condition worsened on the way, I carried him back to the inn and coincidentally met you guys at the inn’s entrance!”

　　As Guo Jing and Fang Yichen were conversing, Wang Chuyi couldn’t hold on any longer and hurriedly asked Yang Tiexin to fetch paper and pen from the waiter.

　　Wang Chuyi quickly wrote down the prescription for the antidote and instructed Guo Jing to help fetch the medicine.

　　Seeing Wang Chuyi looking extremely grim, Guo Jing hurriedly took the prescription and was about to leave.

　　“Second younger brother, wait!”

　　“Hold on, second elder brother!”

　　Seeing Guo Jing rushing out, both Fang Yichen and Huang Rong simultaneously stopped him.

　　Huang Rong said to Guo Jing:

　　“Second brother, it’s late at night now. Where would you find a pharmacy open?”

　　“And Wan Yankang is cunning and ruthless. Since he had made arrangements earlier, he must have already bought up all the antidote ingredients on the market!”

　　“Um... um... What should we do?”

　　Guo Jing heard this and hesitated, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

　　Wang Chuyi’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, realizing the gravity of the situation. He couldn’t help but show a look of despair, sighing heavily:

　　“Alas...!”

　　“My skills are profound, but this poison is exceptionally potent.”

　　“If can’t detoxify in time, once the poison penetrates deeply into the organs, even if we can save a life, it’s likely that this martial arts prowess won’t be preserved!”

　　Fang Yichen stepped forward, took the prescription from Guo Jing’s hand, and looked it over. There were two types of prescriptions: one for internal consumption and the other for medicinal baths. He said reassuringly:

　　“Don’t worry too much. Tonight, I also went to the Wang residence and obtained many medicinal ingredients from a pharmacy there. I just placed them in my room. Let me go check if we have these ingredients!”

　　After saying that, he hurriedly left the room. Wang Chu Yi, upon hearing this, had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

　　Fang Yichen returned to his own room, took out the herbs and a small copper scale from his personal space.

　　He came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, with his father being a physician at the county hospital and also running a small herbal shop on the ground floor of their house.

　　Having been exposed to herbs since childhood, he had no problem identifying them.

　　In no time, he prepared all the herbs for internal and external use according to the prescription, wrapped them in yellow paper, and immediately went back. When Wang Chu Yi opened the package and saw that all the herbs were complete, he was overjoyed and thanked Fang Yichen repeatedly.

　　Mu Nianci took the initiative to take the herbs for internal use and went to boil them, while Fang Yichen took Huang Rong out to prepare another herbal bath.

　　Wang Chu Yi sighed in relief, feeling even more unable to support himself. Yang Tiexin helped Wang Chu Yi onto the bed.

　　Weak and lying on the bed, Wang Chu Yi saw a beautiful and delicate woman standing beside Yang Tiexin. Since he didn't have the chance to ask earlier, he now cast his questioning gaze towards Yang Tiexin.

　　Seeing Wang Chu Yi glance at Bao Xiruo and then at himself, Yang Tiexin understood Wang Chu Yi’s doubt and explained:

　　“Sage, today in the square, I saw the concubine of the Zhao Prince’s Mansion who resembled my wife who disappeared eighteen years ago.”

　　“At that time, I didn’t see clearly, so to find out the truth, I planned to sneak into the mansion at night.”

　　“Coincidentally, at this moment, the young prince’s messenger came to inform that you were poisoned and on the brink of death, wanting to see my father and daughter to explain some matters in person, so he sent someone to bring us to the mansion immediately.”

　　“I didn‘t know if it was a trap, so I brought my daughter with me to the mansion. Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the mansion, we were surrounded by guards and soldiers.”

　　“In the fight, they captured Nianci and threatened me. In order to save her life, I had no choice but to surrender.”

　　“The people from the mansion locked my father and daughter in the dungeon. Unexpectedly, the two brothers, Fang, happened to also go to the mansion and coincidentally rescued us.”

　　“As we were leaving the mansion, I accidentally saw the concubine of the Zhao Prince and recognized her as my wife, Bao Xiruo, who had been missing for eighteen years, so my wife and I reunited.”

　　“At that time, there was chaos in the mansion, and now I think the master and my nephew Guo were fighting with the martial arts experts in the mansion.”

　　“The defense of the mansion was flawed, and we took the opportunity to escape.”

　　After hearing this, Wang Chu Yi suddenly realized the whole situation, nodded, and couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of fate.

　　After Yang Tiexin finished explaining, he said to his wife Bao Xiruo:

　　“Xiruo, this is one of the seven sage of the Quanzhen Sect, Sage Wang Chu Yi. Come and pay your respects!”
