As he watched Song Yiren and the man in black, a sharp cold gleam shot out from his eyes. When he saw the man in black leave, he got up and followed after him.

Sensing the movement behind him, the man in black halted in his tracks and his eyes swept the area. “Come on out!”

Zhan Yihan walked out from where he was hiding. He had deliberately let the man in black discover him. With his current strength, it was very simple for him to not to be discovered by the man in black.

When he saw Zhan Yihan, the man in black immediately recognized him. Although he did not fight Zhan Yihan that night, he could sense that Zhan Yihan was definitely not an easy opponent.

Zhan Yihan moved forward, staring at the man in black with a chilly gaze as he asked coldly, “What’s the relationship between you and Song Yiren?” Song Yiren is just an ordinary village doctor. How did she establish contact with this man in black? And what ability does she have to make this man in black do her bidding?

The man in black did not answer Zhan Yihan’s question. His body moved in a flash and he immediately attacked Zhan Yihan.

Zhan Yihan did not dodge. His hand shot out at lightning speed to grab the fist that the opponent was attacking him with and twisted it hard. “Crack!” The sound of a bone breaking could be heard.

“Ah!” The man in black screamed miserably and looked at Zhan Yihan in horror. In any case, he had the strength of a pre-intermediate Yellow rank, so he had not expected himself to not even be able to withstand a single blow from Zhan Yihan.

“If you don’t start talking, it’ll be your neck that will be broken next.” Zhan Yihan’s eyes were full of cold murderous intent. He would not let off anyone who wanted to harm Jinyue and that included Song Yiren.

“You can kill me if you can.” The man in black was in a cold sweat from the pain, but he still fearlessly retorted to Zhan Yihan. He did not complete his mission the last time and was punished by his superiors. If he failed this mission again, and even confessed his own background, even if Zhan Yihan was willing to let him off, there would only be death waiting for him when he went back.

Zhan Yihan applied force again. Another crack could be heard. “Are you going to talk or not?”

The man in black gasped, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

When Zhan Yihan noticed the look in the man in black’s eyes, he knew that it was bad and wanted to quickly stop him. However, black blood was already trickling down from the man in black’s lips, and he had already taken his last breath.

“Damn it!” Zhan Yihan was slightly furious but there was nothing he could do. He let go of the man in black’s hand and let him fall to the ground.

After searching the man in black, Zhan Yihan did not find anything, so he could only find a place to bury the man in black. Now, it was impossible for him to find out the relationship between the man in black and Song Yiren, and he was extremely worried about Jinyue’s safety. It seemed like Song Yiren could no longer be kept alive.

Su Jinyue took a bath to her heart’s content. She then washed the clothes she had changed out of and dried them in the courtyard.

When Xu Tiansheng walked into the courtyard and saw Su Jinyue who was hanging her clothes to dry, a happy grin appeared on his face as he called out, “Jinyue.” Although Zhan Yihan had come back to tell him about Jinyue’s situation, he had still been a little worried.

“Teacher!” Su Jinyue hung up the clothes in her hand on the bamboo pole and walked over.

Xu Tiansheng looked Su Jinyue up and down for a while before saying, “You didn’t get tanned, and you even seem to have become more beautiful.” He had been worried that Jinyue would not be able to survive staying in the wild.

Su Jinyue chuckled and pointed to the herbs on the bamboo sieve. She said, “Teacher, I gathered a lot of herbs this time.” She had plucked these herbs in the mountain before she came back. She and Yihan had gone into the depths of the mountain where herbs flourished, many of which were rare. They had gathered a lot of herbs in just half a day.

Xu Tiansheng stepped forward and took a look. Then, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. “Filliform Cassytha Herb, Tagetes patula, Saururus chinensis, and Cordyceps. These herbs are very rarely seen.”

“Of course they’re rare. Big Brother Yihan and I spent a tremendous amount of effort to obtain these herbs,” Su Jinyue said with a smile. If they did not go deep into the mountain forest, they would not have been able to find these herbs. The only thing was that they did not manage to find any herbs with spiritual energy.

“Tsk, you really forgot your teacher after getting a boyfriend.” Xu Tiansheng smiled dotingly. Yiren and Jinyue were both raised by him, but in comparison, he and Jinyue were closer.

“When have I done that? In my heart, Teacher is the most important and no one can compare to Teacher,” Su Jinyue said like a child while hugging Xu Tiansheng’s arm.

Xu Tiansheng stretched out his hand and tapped on Su Jinyue’s forehead, as he said, with a resigned and doting smile, “Bootlicker!”

When Song Yiren walked into the courtyard, and saw the two of them talking and laughing, her brows furrowed and she marched towards her room. On the way back, she kept wondering if she was being a little too anxious. Now that Zhan Yihan had yet to leave, what was she going to do if he found out that she had gotten the man in black to kill Su Jinyue?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She decided to summon the man in black with the bamboo flute later on, and get him to wait till Zhan Yihan leaves. She could allow Su Jinyue to live for one more day.

“Yiren,” Xu Tiansheng called out to Song Yiren with a stern face. She was really getting increasingly out of hand now. She saw him but pretended she did not see him. Everything he had taught her all these years had gone down the drain.

Song Yiren halted in her tracks and looked at Xu Tiansheng impatiently. “What’s the matter?” She was frustrated at the moment.

“What happened to your face?” Xu Tiansheng asked when he noticed the redness and swelling on Song Yiren’s face.

Song Yiren glanced at Su Jinyue and said, “I accidentally fell.” If she said that Su Jinyue had hit her, Teacher would definitely question why, and Su Jinyue would tell him about the man in black. Thus, she could only suppress her anger. Anyway, Su Jinyue could not live for much longer.

“You fell?” Xu Tiansheng examined her carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the redness and swelling was from her getting beaten up. But who would hit Yiren?

“I’m tired.” Song Yiren walked into her room after saying this.

Xu Tiansheng withdrew his gaze and said doubtfully, “No matter how I look at it, I feel that Yiren’s face was beaten by someone.”

“Teacher, it looks like there’s someone out front wanting to see a doctor,” Su Jinyue said. She did not want Teacher to know of the grudges between her and Song Yiren and neither did she want him to know that Song Yiren’s face was slapped by her, so as not to make him sad.

“Okay!” Xu Tiansheng nodded and walked towards the clinic out front.

When Zhan Yihan arrived at the clinic and saw Xu Tiansheng seeing the patient, he asked “Uncle Xu, is Jinyue here?”

“In the courtyard,” Dr. Xu said while nodding. Looks like this Zhan Family kid really cares about Jinyue very much. They just left each other for a while yet here he is looking for her again.

Su Jinyue was washing vegetables in the courtyard to prepare for dinner. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head around. When she saw that it was Zhan Yihan, she smiled slightly and asked, “Settled?”

Zhan Yihan nodded. He walked to Su Jinyue’s side and helped her wash the vegetables. He said, “I think she’s a potential danger.”

Su Jinyue used her X-ray vision to peek into Song Yiren’s room and saw that Song Yiren was sleeping. She asked, “What are you planning to do?”

“In for a penny, in for a pound.” A cold murderous gleam shot out from Zhan Yihan’s eyes.

Su Jinyue shook her head and said, “I’d rather she live but I do wish she was dead.” Letting Song Yiren die quickly was letting her off too lightly.. She wanted to make her life a living hell.
