"This time, the people behind us are clearly using us to find you, sir. I apologize for bringing you misfortune."
Murong Yu finally understood. They were hunting Wu Ya, putting pressure on him, making Wu Ya believe that these assassins were after him.
But in reality, their true target was Wu Chenzi.
As expected, they didn't want Wu Chenzi to return to the imperial city safely.
"You should know that my return will bring unease to certain people."
Wu Chenzi gazed at the distant sky. Although his physique appeared very aged, surprisingly, his voice was deep, magnetic, and extremely pleasant to the ear.
He smiled faintly and said, "It's been so many years, and some people still have to guard against me. I've been in hiding for so long, even spreading the news that I'm no longer alive, but he still cannot believe it and has been sending people to find me."
"He knows my relationship with Wu Ya. Wu Ya coming to find me this time is exactly what he intended."
"However,"
Wu Chenzi turned and looked at Murong Yu, his expression somewhat serious.
"Many things, these younger ones don't know, and Wu Ya is also unaware. Therefore, whether I return to the imperial city or not, the secret remains a secret. Things that should not be mentioned, I hope you will not mention them again."
Regarding this matter, Murong Yu said nothing.
Since she hadn't spoken about those matters from the beginning, she wouldn't speak carelessly now if it wasn't necessary.
However...
She looked at Wu Chenzi and couldn't help but say, "As long as he is still alive, the imperial city will not tolerate you. Your return to the imperial city will inevitably bring danger."
"I have a tribulation, and I cannot escape it."
Wu Chenzi looked up at the sky.
Murong Yu knew that he was not only skilled in medicine but also had a profound understanding of astronomy and geography.
In fact, no one knew how many more skills Wu Chenzi possessed.
But he himself said he couldn't escape his tribulation...
"Is there no way to resolve it?" Could such a distinguished master, who could help anyone, not help himself?
Wu Chenzi continued to gaze at the stars in the sky.
The wind was strong tonight, and the dark clouds were gathering one after another. The celestial phenomena were not very clear.
However, he had a rough idea of some things.
"Perhaps... forget it!"
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned around, and glanced at the entrance of the cave.
"Although Fei Fei and Xiao Xiao's medical skills are average, they are better than nothing. Letting them accompany Wu Ya and that young lady will at least help solve some problems."
Murong Yu also turned her head and followed his gaze.
At this moment, everything inside the cave was not clearly visible.
However, she could roughly guess the situation inside.
"Can Xinghe's face... still be healed?"
"I don't know." Wu Chenzi shook his head.
A gust of wind blew.
Murong Yu felt the wind was a bit strong, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes.
But everything in her vision suddenly became somewhat blurry.
After the gust of wind passed, when she looked again, Wu Chenzi's figure was nowhere to be seen.
He had left.
When Murong Yu returned to the cave, she was alone.
Feng Wu Ya had just finished applying medicine to Long Xinghe. Seeing Murong Yu return alone, he was somewhat surprised. "Where is sir?"
"He said he would return to the imperial city ahead of us and asked us to follow on our own."
As soon as Murong Yu finished speaking, Fei Fei and Xiao Xiao, who were resting nearby, immediately stood up.
Fei Fei anxiously said, "Sir walking alone will be dangerous!"
"It's fine. You should trust your sir's capabilities."
Murong Yu looked at Feng Wu Ya and said, "He doesn't want to implicate us. The person behind this is just trying to lure you out to lead him out. Their target is sir. With sir leaving on his own, this group is actually safer."
"Why do they want to deal with sir?"
Feng Wu Ya felt an inexplicable unease in his heart. "Mother, do you know something? Tell me, who is plotting all this from behind the scenes?"
