When they heard what the young man said, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Fatty Wang's eyes widened, full of confusion and unwillingness. He took a step forward and asked anxiously, "So should we still chase him?"

The young man looked calm, holding the note tightly in his hand. He slowly stood up and uttered two words with a firm look in his eyes: "Go back."

Wu Xie frowned, his eyes filled with doubt and unwillingness, his lips slightly parted, and he just uttered "But..."

The young man interrupted him neatly.

The young man raised his head slightly, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and said without question: "It's useless, he won't say it again."

Xie Yuchen sighed softly, waved his hands helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Alright, let's all go back. Wu Xie, you can take the antidote to Yun Cai later."

Wu Xie pursed his lips tightly, with a hint of struggle in his eyes, as if he wanted to argue something but didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang on the side reached out to take the porcelain bottle, and while pulling Wu Xie's arm, he muttered, "Let's go, let's go."

Wu Xie's body stiffened slightly, but he still walked back as Fatty Wang pulled him.

Everyone walked in silence along the way. After returning to their residence, the whole yard was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Wu Xie's face was a little gloomy, and he felt like there was a big stone blocking his heart. He couldn't get over the matter of his collapsed shoulder. He knew that his brother's judgment was rarely wrong, but there was always a voice in his heart shouting, telling him that things were not that simple.

He stood quietly in a corner of the yard, his eyes fixed on the woods in the distance, with a hint of persistence in his eyes, as if as long as he stared long enough, he would be able to find the missed clues in the woods.

Xie Yuchen returned to the house with a heavy heart, and saw that Bai Mumu had woken up.

Bai Mumu sat on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her little paws, her eyes still drowsy from just waking up. When she saw Xie Yuchen coming in, her eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she made a chirping sound, and her little body twisted happily on the bed, her expression clearly asking, "Where have you been?"

Xie Yuchen's tense face softened instantly. He quickly walked to the bed and sat down. He gently held Bai Mumu in his arms, lowered his head, his eyes full of doting, and asked softly, "It's okay, I just went out for a walk. Are you hungry?"

Bai Mumu nodded obediently, rubbing her little head against Xie Yuchen's arms like a spoiled kitten. Xie Yuchen raised a gentle smile, turned his head and shouted to the door, asking someone to bring some food.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang returned to the living room. Fatty Wang seemed to be exhausted. When he saw the stone bench, he walked over quickly and sat down heavily on it with a "thump". Then he took a long breath, with a bit of annoyance on his face, and said loudly: "I am so tired, this trip is really not worth it."

However, Wu Xie seemed not to have heard what Fatty Wang said. He still stood there, staring into the distance, as if he was lost in his own thoughts.

At this time, Hei Xia Zi walked into the yard with his hands in his pockets. He saw Wu Xie's absent-minded look at a glance, so he walked up to him, stretched out his hand and patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, with a teasing smile on his face, and said, "Little disciple, don't think too much. Sometimes things are just like this. Since Dumb Zhang doesn't want us to continue looking for him, he must have his reasons. Don't be stubborn."

When Fatty Wang heard what Hei Xia Zi said, he quickly swallowed the water in his mouth, nodded repeatedly, stood up, walked to Wu Xie, patted Wu Xie on the back, and echoed in a loud voice: "That's right, when has the little brother ever been wrong in his judgment?"

Wu Xie leaned forward slightly after being hit. He sighed helplessly, with a hint of frustration in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I know, but I just feel so blocked in my heart, as if some important clue has been lost."

At this moment, Yun Cai walked in from outside the house, holding a small plate with some freshly picked fruits on it. She had a gentle smile on her face, and when she saw Wu Xie and the others coming back, her eyes lit up and she said softly, "You guys are back, have some fruit."

When Fatty Wang saw the fruit, his eyes lit up immediately and his face was filled with smiles. He took two quick steps, reached out and took the biggest one, stuffed it into his mouth and said incoherently, "Miss Yuncai is really thoughtful. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

After hearing this, Yuncai blushed slightly, smiled gently, and her eyes inadvertently drifted towards the young man.

Wu Xie was able to detect this subtle movement, and his heart was alarmed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his body quickly, and stood in front of the little brother without making a sound, blocking Yuncai's sight.

Then he took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Yuncai, and said seriously: "This is the antidote from the collapsed shoulder. He will not appear again in the future, you can rest assured."

Yuncai was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and reached out to take the porcelain bottle. With a grateful smile on her face, she said softly, "Thank you." After that, she bowed slightly to everyone and turned to leave.

Wu Xie stared at Yuncai's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes.

Fatty Wang was munching on fruit with his cheeks bulging. Seeing Wu Xie's expression, he asked vaguely, "Tian Zhen, why were you blocking my way just now? Miss Yuncai was just taking a look at me, she wouldn't eat me."

Wu Xie glanced at him unhappily, frowned and said, "Eat yours. I'm just taking precautions. What if she really falls in love with me?"

After hearing what Wu Xie said, Fatty Wang opened his mouth wide as if he had heard a big joke, and almost choked on the fruit. He patted his chest hard and laughed, "Haha, Tian Nai, you really have a lot of imagination. With this cold look on my face, if Miss Yun Cai really likes him, she would be blind."

Hei Xiazi was also laughing so hard that he fell backwards. He walked a few steps towards the young man while laughing, with a playful smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Dumb, I think Miss Yuncai does have some feelings for you, why don't you just stay here and become her husband."

The young man just glanced at Hei Xia Zi calmly, his eyes were calm without a single ripple, but Hei Xia Zi, who was familiar with him, knew that this look contained more than just calmness, it was clearly a silent protest, and Hei Xia Zi could feel that this protest also had a hint of "dirty". Hei Xia Zi curled his lips and ignored the young man's silent protest.
