After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Yi Lan carried Yi Qing and quickly returned to her residence.

Putting her on the bed, Yi Lan found some medicine powder and cloth strips in the room and treated Yi Qing's wound.

The powder sprinkled on his shoulders, and the intense stinging sensation woke Yi Qing up slowly.

She opened her eyes and saw Yi Lan beside her.

"Senior Sister..." Yi Qing spoke weakly.

"you're awake."

Yi Lan poured the medicine and wrapped the cloth around Yi Qing's arm.

"Hiss——" Yi Qing couldn't help but make a sound in pain.

"Just bear with it, it will be fine soon."

Yi Lan increased the speed of his hands.

After a while, Yiqing's shoulder was bandaged.

The effect of the drug on Yi Qing had not completely dissipated yet, and she leaned weakly against the head of the bed.

"Sister, how did we get back?"

She remembered that she went to the pleasure boat to assassinate Prince Dacheng. After taking the sleeping pills, she felt a little dizzy. Then she entered the room and was stabbed with a sword. She couldn't remember what happened after that.

"You were injured, and I brought you back." Yi Lan said.

Yiqing nodded.

Since it was senior sister who brought her back, it means that senior sister also met Prince Dacheng tonight.

"Senior Sister, did you kill Xiao Yujing? Are you injured?" Yi Qing asked excitedly.

Yi Lan half-closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Lan raised her head, looked at Yi Qing, and spoke slowly:

"Yiqing, give up the mission of assassinating Prince Dacheng. We are no match for him."

Yi Qing was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

"Senior sister, what are you talking about?"

The most desperate and powerful disciple in the sect was now in front of her, asking her to give up the mission?

Yiqing was in a trance for a moment.

"Don't worry, I will go back and tell the Sect Master about this. I will bear all the punishment and will not let the Sect Master hurt you." Yi Lan comforted.

"Yi Lan, do you know what you are saying?" Yi Qing looked at her coldly.

All missions of Xuanying Sect have either success or failure, and no one ever dares to give up a mission.

"Yiqing, I told you, we are no match for Xiao Yujing. If he hadn't given in tonight, we would never have come back alive..."

"Is it because of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion?" Yi Qing suddenly said.

Yi Lan paused.

"I guessed right." Yi Qing snorted coldly, "Because Xiao Yujing is the master of the Zhenguo Mansion, you softened your heart, right?"

Yi Lan opened her mouth but didn't know how to explain.

After a while, she spoke softly:

"Yiqing, I want to quit Xuanying Sect."

Yi Qing was stunned. She felt that there was something wrong with her ears.

The most outstanding disciple of Xuanying Sect actually said he wanted to quit the sect?

Yiqing pursed her lips, and it took her a while to find her voice.

"Sister, I don't understand what you are saying..."

Yi Lan sighed.

"Yiqing, I'm tired."

She no longer wants to live through the days of fighting and killing for so many years.

Yi Lan didn't understand.

why?

Why did Senior Sister become like a different person after staying in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion for a while?

Yi Qing stared at her closely, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

They grew up together in Xuanying Sect, fought side by side for many years, and never thought of quitting the sect.

The Xuanying Sect rescued them, provided them with food and drink, and never owed them anything.

Leaving the sect means betrayal.

"You know, the Sect Master will never let you go..."

Yi Qing's voice was hoarse and his eyes were deep.

"I'll find a way to do this." Yi Lan vowed.

It’s not like there haven’t been people who have quit the sect before.

There was once a senior who succeeded before, and although the price was a bit high, he still managed to leave successfully.

When Yi Qing saw her confident look, an unknown fire ignited in his heart.

"After all, you are here because of the Zhenguo Mansion, right?!"

"Is the Zhenguo Mansion so good? It can make you abandon your sister and the master who have been with you for many years!"

Yiqing questioned her aggressively.

Yi Lan did not deny it. She looked at Yi Qing with a firm gaze.

"Yes, the Zhenguo Mansion is great. I have the one I love here, and I want to stay."

Love?

When he heard this word, Yi Qing's eyes flashed with confusion.

What is love? What is its use?

Is it worth it for Yi Lan to give up everything in the past and be trapped in this wealthy family forever?

Yiqing didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.

She withdrew her gaze and looked down at the end of the bed.

"You can go now." Yi Qing ordered him to leave.

Yi Lan stood up and patted her shoulder.

"I will come to see you later tomorrow, and we will return to the sect together then."

Yiqing pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Yi Lan sighed silently, turned around and left.

The next day, the palace.

Xiao Yuyao was waiting at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall early.

Today is Jiang Ruoli's coming-of-age day. She had specially asked someone to bring back a rare toy from Southeast Asia, intending to give it to Jiang Ruoli.

But before she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it today, she found that she did not have enough money!

Only then did she realize that she had already spent all her salary for this month.

She wanted to ask her mother for an advance of some money, but when she thought that her mother would scold her for it, she didn't dare to go.

After all, spending more than the salary is not the first or second time.

So she could only shamelessly come to her father, hoping to plunder something from his private treasury.

Standing outside the hall, Xiao Yuyao waited anxiously.

Why isn’t this morning court over yet?

She was getting impatient.

Just as Xiao Yuyao was thinking about it, she saw the palace door open and several officials walked out one after another.

She quickly took the palace maids and hid to the side.

When most of the officials had left, Xiao Yuyao came out and looked inside the hall.

As soon as Zhang Huaiyun stepped out of the palace door, he saw Xiao Yuyao looking inside curiously.

"Your Highness." Zhang Huaiyun bowed.

Xiao Yuyao just said "hmm" and ignored him.

Why are there still people in the hall? Aren’t these officials in a hurry to go home?

Seeing that she looked anxious, Zhang Huaiyun took the initiative to ask.

"Your Highness, do you have any urgent business to discuss with His Majesty? How about I help you convey it?"

"No need." Xiao Yuyao waved her hand decisively.

At this time, a palace maid hurried over.

"Your Highness, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask if the gift needs to be delivered now?" said the palace maid.

Xiao Yuyao became even more annoyed.

"Why are they in such a hurry? I will go get the money when I get it!"

"Yes, I know." The maid quickly retreated.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Huaiyun's eyes flashed.

"Your Highness is in urgent need of money?"

Xiao Yuyao looked at him impatiently.

"Why are you still standing here? What does it have to do with you whether I need money or not?"

Zhang Huaiyun smiled slightly.

"If your Highness needs money urgently, I can help you."

"You?" Xiao Yuyao looked at him suspiciously, "How much money can a poor official like you have?"

Zhang Huaiyun didn't take Xiao Yuyao's offense to heart.

"How much does your highness need?"

"One hundred taels." Xiao Yuyao opened her mouth loudly.

She didn't believe that a poor boy who had just been appointed as an official could come up with so much money.

The smile on Zhang Huaiyun's face deepened.

"I happen to have one hundred taels."

He had won the top spot in the imperial examination, but he had not yet used the one hundred taels of silver awarded to him by the emperor.

"You really have it?" Xiao Yuyao was very unconvinced.

Zhang Huaiyun nodded.

"If Your Highness needs it, I will go home and get it for you now."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Xiao Yuyao started to think about it.

If I ask my father for money, I can get it, but I will definitely be scolded. If my mother knew about it, she would probably be even angrier.

After much thought, it seems most appropriate to borrow the surname Zhang.

"Okay, consider this money as a loan to you. I will pay you back after I get my salary next month." Xiao Yuyao said.

Zhang Huaiyun's eyes were filled with deep meaning when he heard this.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"Your Highness, there is no rush to return it."
