Zuo Yilan glanced at Jiang Ning, who still had blood on the corner of his mouth, and slowly let go of the two of them.

Just when the two men thought that Zuo Yilan was letting them go and were about to escape, two rays of spiritual power suddenly hit their legs.

"Click!" It was the sound of bone cracking.

The two men's left feet gave way and they fell heavily to the ground.

"Get lost." Zuo Yilan spat out one word, and the two men rolled and crawled out of here regardless of the severe pain in their feet.

"Thank you." Jiang Ning said to Zuo Yilan.

Zuo Yilan said nothing, but stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Ning's wrist and took her out of the room.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Ning was pulled by Zuo Yilan and asked as he looked back at the hut getting farther and farther away.

"Heal your wounds." Zuo Yilan said.

Then he took Jiang Ning all the way to Jiaziyuan.

Jiaziyuan is the best place among all the disciples' residences. Many disciples with outstanding talents or outstanding strength live here.

Zuo Yilan is no exception.

Zuo Yilan took Jiang Ning to his yard. As soon as he stepped into the yard, a faint cold fragrance came, and the cold fragrance was mixed with a faint smell of herbs.

The yard is divided into two front and back yards, with several rooms. The front yard is decorated with rockery and running water, and there is a pond in the back yard.There are faintly visible fish playing in the pond.

Zuo Yilan took Jiang Ning to a room in the backyard and asked Jiang Ning to wait here for a while.

Watching Zuo Yilan leave, Jiang Ning had nothing to do and looked at the room.

[Compared to this place, your dilapidated house in Xinziyuan is simply hard to look at. 】The system complained.

"Is it that bad?"

Jiang Ning thinks her cabin is okay, she likes it there quite a bit.

[Yes, it’s completely different. 】

Jiang Ning didn't sit down for long before Zuo Yilan came back with the medicine box.

"Are you injured there? Tell me and I will help you apply medicine." Zuo Yilan said.

"I don't have any external injuries. I was just beaten by them and vomited some blood." Jiang Ning said.

"Then take this." Zuo Yilan took out a medicine bottle from the medicine box and poured one pill out to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took the elixir and drank it in one gulp.

The elixir with a strong medicinal aroma melts in the mouth, with a slight bitterness.

When Zuo Yilan was getting medicine, Jiang Ning noticed that there seemed to be a lot of trauma medicine in the medicine box.

Before the alliance, Zuo Yilan was always seriously injured for no apparent reason. What is the hidden secret in this?

After watching Jiang Ning take the medicine, Zuo Yilan took out a pair of bells from the storage bag.

"This bell is for you. It's called a messenger bell. As long as you shake one of them, the other will ring. If you encounter danger in the future, just shake this bell and I will come to save you." Zuo Yilan said seriously.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning did not accept the bell, but looked at Zuo Yilan and asked.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

This question has actually been in Jiang Ning's mind for a long time.

From the first time she met Zuo Yilan, Zuo Yilan was inexplicably close to her, or to Qin Nian to be precise.

To others, it's like a different person, arrogant and domineering.

Zuo Yilan's hand holding the bell was stunned, as if she didn't know why she was willing to trust Qin Nian.

Is it because Qin Nian saved her?Or is it the lie that Qin Nian has never treated her like anyone else?

Or maybe Qin Nian now is the same as she was before.

Because he is weak, he can only be used as a pawn by others and be manipulated by others.

Zuo Yilan lowered her eyes, covering up the emotions in her eyes, and said calmly, "Because I still owe you a favor."

"By saving me this time, you have repaid my favor." Jiang Ning said again.

"You are alone in Chuwu Academy with no power or cultivation. Wouldn't it be good for me to protect you?" Zuo Yilan asked.

Jiang Ning could feel that Zuo Yilan meant what she said, but she still shook her head, "No reward for no merit."

If she wants to maintain two identities, she must ensure that Qin Nian's identity will not be disturbed when she stays in Xinziyuan.

The closer you get to Zuo Yilan, the greater the risk of exposure.

"The medicine you gave me is very useful. I feel much better now, so I'll go back first." Jiang Ning stood up and said.

"...Okay." Zuo Yilan stood up and was about to send Jiang Ning to the door. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, an unexpected person appeared at the door.

At the door was a tall, middle-aged man with a serious expression.

Jiang Ning looked at the middle-aged man at the door with doubts on his face. He turned back to Zuo Yilan and saw Zuo Yilan lowering his head and shouting "adopted father".

Adoptive father?

Is this man Zuo Yilan’s adoptive father, Zuo Qing, the mentor of the Final Liuyuan?

"Teacher Zuo." Out of politeness, Jiang Ning still shouted.

"Yeah." Zuo Qing's face was unclear, but he just hummed lightly.

Then he looked at Zuo Yilan and asked, "Did you take action against your junior brother?"

Zuo Yilan didn't say anything about Jiang Ning, but just responded, "Yes."

"Come in with me." Zuo Qing left a word, then stepped directly into Zuo Yilan's yard and walked towards the backyard.

Zuo Yilan lowered his head with a respectful expression, showing no other emotions.

Ever since Zuo Qing appeared, Zuo Yilan seemed to have become a different person, she said lightly to Jiang Ning.

"You go back first."

The sudden change of attitude surprised Jiang Ning and the system.

After saying this, Zuo Yilan pushed Jiang Ning out of the yard and closed the door tightly.

Jiang Ning looked at the messenger bell that Zuo Yilan thrust into his palm, feeling puzzled.

"What exactly is going on?"

[Is Zuo Qing here to punish Zuo Yilan?Why didn't she tell Zuo Qing that it was the two disciples who made the mistake first? 】

[Jiang Ning, let’s go explain it to Zuo Qing quickly!Otherwise Zuo Yilan will be punished. 】

The system was urging Jiang Ning crazily in his mind.

Jiang Ning felt that things were far from being as simple as the system said.

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Ning climbed over the yard wall and quietly entered the backyard.

There were three rooms in the backyard. Jiang Ning searched them one by one, but found no trace of the two of them.

"Gone."

【pond!There is a secret room under the pond!The entrance is under the trees by the pond! 】The system said urgently.

Secret room?There is actually a secret room in Zuo Yilan's yard?

Jiang Ning realized that things were getting more and more unusual. According to the system, he opened the entrance to the secret room, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning entered the tunnel, and there was a slight flicker of fire not far ahead.

Jiang Ning walked in the dark towards the direction of the fire.

A door suddenly blocked Jiang Ning's path, and the fire came from the crack in the door that was not closed tightly.

Jiang Ning stuck to the crack of the door and looked inside. The door was filled with various instruments of torture. The fire Jiang Ning saw was the fire used to heat the red soldering iron.

On one wall of the secret room, a thick and long iron chain was fixed at each of the four corners. The four iron chains were tying Zuo Yilan's limbs respectively.

In front of her, there was a basin of water with a whip covered with barbs soaked in the water.

That basin of water, as expected, should be salt water.

"You hurt your junior brother's leg for a loser. You, the senior sister, are so proud." Zuo Qing stood in front of Zuo Yilan and took the whip out of the basin.
