Seeing Jiang Chaoyu's terrified expression, Zeng Chenhua found it utterly unbelievable.

He opened the scroll right in front of Jiang Chaoyu, his eyes fixed on it as he said, "What a coincidence! My scroll has somehow ended up in Miss Jiang's room."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaoyu sneered, "Isn't that just like the Second Prince suddenly appearing in my room?" Her words were like a sharp sword piercing Zeng Chenhua.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenhua froze on the spot, but then he came to his senses and said, "Second Miss has only changed her appearance to enter my mansion, but how is that any different from my current behavior?"

Zeng Chenhua looked at the scroll and saw that the text on it seemed to have not been modified, so he felt relieved.

Only Zeng Chenhua could understand the preceding content, and it's likely that Jiang Chaoyu wouldn't understand it either, nor would she know what it was.

Zeng Chenhua rolled up the scroll and walked step by step toward Jiang Chaoyu, his brows furrowed and his face tense as he stood before her.

Jiang Chaoyu didn't understand Zeng Chenhua's behavior. She hurriedly stepped back but found that her back was already pressed against the wall. She then glared fiercely at Zeng Chenhua.

In Zeng Chenhua's eyes, this was quite amusing, much like a cat with its fur standing on end, defending itself against an enemy.

"Is your injury any better?"

Zeng Chenhua uttered these words, catching Jiang Chaoyu off guard.

Jiang Chaoyu was momentarily taken aback when she heard someone who looked fierce speak so gently.

"Huh? Ah!" Her expression instantly turned to confusion as she looked at Zeng Chenhua with a bewildered look.

Looking down, he thought to himself, "So he was just concerned about me, but he still had such a fierce look on his face."

After venting her frustrations, she realized that Zeng Chenhua could hear her thoughts. She slowly looked up at Zeng Chenhua and noticed that his expression suddenly stiffened for a moment, a half-smile that was even more unsettling in the middle of the night.

Jiang Chaoyu turned her head away, avoiding looking at Zeng Chenhua's face.

"Much better. If it weren't for the Second Prince disturbing me, I probably would have slept even better." Jiang Chaoyu was in a bad mood because her sweet dreams had been disturbed, and said sarcastically.

The dream was scary enough, but when I woke up I saw a pair of eyes. It was impossible to tell if it was a dream within a dream or reality.

However, Jiang Chaoyu suddenly remembered Zeng Chenhua's leg, so she added, "I wonder how the Second Prince's leg is now?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenhua replied, "Much better." Then he fell silent, and the two stared at each other in awkward silence.

Hearing this, Jiang Chaoyu didn't know what to say, so she politely replied, "Since it's so much, that's fine. I didn't thank you in person then, but now that you're here in front of me, I still want to say thank you."

As Jiang Chaoyu said this, she curled her lips into a smile, her face serious as she gazed intently at Zeng Chenhua.

By the moonlight, Zeng Chenhua saw the sincerity in Jiang Chaoyu's eyes and replied, "You're welcome."

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon the two of them. They looked at each other in the moonlight, which was both hazy and clear.

Zeng Chenhua took out the medicine he had brought again and gently tossed it to Jiang Chaoyu, saying, "This medicine is even better than the previous one. It can help you recover better. Don't forget the banquet in a few days."

After saying this, Zeng Chenhua climbed out of the window and left the room.

Jiang Chaoyu looked down at the bottle of medicine, a slight smile playing on her lips, and gazed in the direction Zeng Chenhua had left.

Feeling deeply moved, he wondered how Zeng Chenhua could have so many medicines. Suddenly, he remembered the yam girl in his household.

Indeed, having such a skilled doctor seems quite good.

Jiang Chaoyu was overjoyed. By now, she was mostly awake and took advantage of the free time to gently open the medicine bottle.

The air was thick with the bitter smell of herbs, and the pill that came out was enormous. Jiang Chaoyu examined the large pill closely by the moonlight and said helplessly, "How are we supposed to take this?!"

Jiang Chaoyu got a little tired from sitting, so she slowly lay down on the bed.

The previous drowsiness was so strong that it was impossible to resist, but after the visit, I found it difficult to fall asleep.

The royal banquet was in a few days, and her father had specifically instructed her to cure the rash on her face before then, otherwise his plans would be ruined.

It's been installed for half a month already, so installing it again would be inappropriate.

However, now that a consensus has been reached with Zeng Chenhua, and I also know Zeng Chenhua's weaknesses, it seems I need to start setting up a scheme.

As she pondered this, sleepiness overcame her, taking over Jiang Chaoyu's thoughts and leading her to even more distant places.

Jiang Chaoyu originally came to inquire about the mysterious Jingnan Organization, but ended up witnessing her master and her senior uncle Li Xianyue discussing Chengzhenmen.

Jiang Chaoyu was shocked. Where did this mysterious organization come from, and who was its leader?

You Zhenghong was about to say another word, but she sensed Jiang Chaoyu's presence and looked towards the door, where Jiang Chaoyu's shadow was still clearly visible.

So she gestured for Li Xianyue to look towards the door, and quietly walked to the door and opened it.

Jiang Chaoyu pressed her ear against the door, wanting to hear what her master and the others were talking about, but the sound stopped.

Upon realizing he had been discovered, Jiang Chaoyu withdrew his movement and tried to push the door open, only to find it already open from the inside.

Jiang Chaoyu looked directly at You Zhenghong with a smile and said, "Master, how did you know your disciple was here?"

You Zhenghong didn't say anything. Seeing that there was no one around, he told Jiang Chaoyu to come into the room quickly.

This action aroused Jiang Chaoyu's suspicion. "Master, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chaoyu entered the room, saw Li Xianyue, and bowed, "Uncle-Master Li."

You Zhenghong closed the door, looked at Jiang Chaoyu with a serious expression, and asked in a cold voice, "What did you hear?"

Jiang Chaoyu found her master's behavior somewhat unusual, but she still honestly told him what she had heard.

Jiang Chaoyu was relieved to hear that Cheng Zhenmen was in charge, but she looked at Li Xianyue with a puzzled expression. In her memory, Uncle Li had always been a kind and approachable person who always greeted her with a smile.

People from the Crescent Moon Sect all agree that Li Xianyue has the best temper.

When Li Xianyue saw Jiang Chaoyu looking at her with a probing gaze, she shook her head to indicate that she could not say.

Jiang Chaoyu had no choice but to give up. If it was something that Uncle Li couldn't talk about, then it was a big deal, and junior members couldn't discuss big matters.

What brings you here?

When Jiang Chaoyu saw that her master was asking her, she told him the truth.

"Master, do you know about the South City Organization?"

The South City Organization! This organization's name was very familiar to You Zhenghong. Moreover, the third-in-command of the South City Organization was once his friend. However, they had different paths and could not work together, so the two gradually drifted apart.

Upon hearing about this organization, Li Xianyue blurted out, "The third-in-command of that organization was once a friend of your master, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, You Zhenghong stopped her with a look, so the words remained on Li Xianyue's lips, which made Jiang Chaoyu even more curious.

Li Xianyue shook her head at Jiang Chaoyu and shrugged. Although she knew about the alluring curiosity, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Jiang Chaoyu looked at You Zhenghong again, even more eager to know something.

Changing the subject, You Zhenghong didn't directly answer Jiang Chaoyu's question, but instead asked, "How did you know about the Chengnan Organization?"

“Yesterday, I followed Zhang Chengfu to investigate the matter of the merchants’ collusion. I didn’t expect that it would involve the Chengnan Organization. However, I don’t understand what kind of organization the Chengnan Organization is, so I would like to ask you, Master.”

"Who was the person you fought?"

Jiang Chaoyu tried hard to recall, "It was a woman, very skilled, good at flying swallow darts and swords. I vaguely saw that her sword was engraved with the words 'Cold Moon Sword'."

Cold Moon Sword!

Upon hearing this, You Zhenghong understood immediately, his eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.

It really was her!

“The South City Organization has been entrenched in the underground of the capital for a long time and is indeed doing shady things. I will handle this matter, and you should not get too involved.” You Zhenghong looked at Jiang Chaoyu with gentle eyes.

Jiang Chaoyu nodded. If her master said that, it meant that she would handle the matter personally.

But I haven't heard Master say that in a long time. That woman mentioned before that she resembled someone. Could it be that Master and she have some connection?

You Zhenghong hadn't heard from the Jingnan Organization for a long time; it seemed they were up to something again.

The Cold Moon Sword was a gift I gave to Leng Bicha; I never imagined that one day it would be pointed at me.

On a dark and windy night, You Zhenghong quietly stepped onto the roof and headed towards the Zhang residence.

They slowly slipped past everyone's sight and arrived at the backyard of the Zhang residence.

Perhaps it was a bit hot during the day, but the evening breeze helped to dispel some of the heat, so I opened the window to let the wind in.

At this moment, Leng Bicha transformed into a married woman, gently patting the boy's back and tenderly coaxing him to sleep. She gently stroked the boy's hair, and the hot weather caused him to sweat slightly on his forehead, which Leng Bicha gently wiped away.

You Zhenghong saw it and thought it was a wonderful image of a loving mother.

With the sword behind him, his dark hair blowing freely in the wind, You Zhenghong's gaze was fixed on Leng Bicha's direction.

The candlelight shone on her, filtering through her hair. Leng Bicha was trying to get her child to sleep quickly because she had noticed You Zhenghong on the roof.

I covered him with a blanket and wiped away the fresh sweat from his forehead.

Then he quietly closed the door.

He retrieved the Cold Moon Sword from somewhere and used other means to step onto the roof.

"Long time no see." Leng Bicha spoke first, standing opposite You Zhenghong with a smile.

It had been a long time since I'd seen her. She was now a mother, and she seemed to radiate a maternal glow.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

You Zhenghong said softly, but his words were full of longing.

"That child is your apprentice, right? I didn't expect her to tell you so quickly."

You Zhenghong hadn't expected Leng Bichai to guess so quickly, and said cheerfully, "That's right, you can probably tell my shadow from her skills."

The two were once friends, but now they stand opposite each other, clearly indicating that they have reached different positions.

"Considering we're old friends, you should make the first move!"

The wind whistled, fluttering the hem of her skirt and causing it to drift freely in the direction the wind was blowing.

Despite saying that, he never pointed his sword at Leng Bicha, but just stared at her coldly.

Looking at her face, which bore the marks of time.

Seeing this, Leng Bicha immediately drew her sword, the white light of which shone on her face, and said, "Look, this sword is the one you gave me back then."
