"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" The voice of the shadow was cold and piercing, sending a chill down my spine. Du Ming stood protectively behind me, his gaze sharp as he stared at the opponent. We stood back to back, ready for a desperate fight. But just then, the shadow suddenly vanished, as if it had never appeared.
We had not yet recovered from the earlier scare when we realized it was not the time to relax. Escaping Purgatory was just the first step; next, we had to face the pursuit of hostile forces. I immediately used a special communication talisman to contact Bai Wei, informing her of our successful escape and asking her to relay the message to my father so he wouldn't worry.
Almost simultaneously, Du Ming also got in touch with Mr. Du. Upon learning that his son was safe, Mr. Du's voice on the other end was filled with excitement, but he quickly regained his composure and began asking about our next plans and the response from the hostile forces.
"Dad, you don't need to worry. I will protect Lingxi," Du Ming assured his father.
After hanging up, Du Ming's expression remained serious. I knew he was concerned that the hostile forces might pose a threat to us and our families.
I took his hand and softly said, "Don't worry; we're safe now. Let me check your injuries, okay?"
He looked at me with a hint of hesitation in his eyes but eventually nodded. I carefully unwrapped the bandages on him and found that while his wounds had stopped bleeding, they were still quite alarming. My heart ached as I frowned and began to use my spiritual energy to heal him.
"Ah..." He inhaled sharply, and I quickly stopped, nervously asking, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
He shook his head and held my hand, saying, "It's fine; it's just a bit itchy."
I shot him a glare and scolded, "What are you joking about at a time like this?"
He smiled gently at me, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
His words made my heart flutter slightly. I lowered my head and continued healing him, but my cheeks couldn't help but flush.
After finishing the treatment, I got up to pour him a glass of water. He took the cup and drank it in one go before asking me, "Any news from Bai Wei?"
I nodded, "She said she has found some clues about the hostile forces and will come over tomorrow to discuss them in detail."
"Good." He pondered for a moment before adding, "This time, we owe it all to Bai Wei's help."
"Yes, Bai Wei has always been very loyal," I replied with a smile. "However, this incident also reminds us that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; we must be more cautious."
He nodded, his expression turning fierce: "I will get to the bottom of this matter and teach them a lesson!" Sunlight streamed through the window into the room, casting a warm golden hue over everything. Du Ming looked much better; he was practicing by the window, standing tall like a pine tree. Watching his silhouette filled me with warmth. Although this period of fleeing had been perilous, it made us cherish each other even more.
"What are you thinking about?" Du Ming finished his practice and turned to walk over to me, gently pulling me into his embrace.
"I was thinking that we need to take care of each other from now on." I rested my head against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
"We will; everything will be alright," Du Ming said softly as he stroked my hair with determination in his voice.
At that moment, Bai Wei arrived with the gathered intelligence. Her expression was serious as she said, "I've found out that the group targeting us is called 'The Shadows,' an organization specializing in assassination and intelligence trafficking. Their methods are extremely brutal and secretive; they are difficult to deal with."
My heart tightened at her words; Du Ming's expression darkened as well: "It seems we must take the initiative and eliminate this threat once and for all."
In the following days, the three of us stayed indoors analyzing information about The Shadows and formulating a detailed plan. Bai Wei was skilled in formations and tracking; she would be responsible for locating The Shadows' strongholds. Du Ming was powerful; he would lead the frontal assault. As for me, I would assist using my medical skills and poison techniques from the sidelines.
I was surprised to find that Du Ming had become more composed and calm after experiencing this upheaval. He began to try to control his emotions, no longer impulsive and irritable like before. Whenever I treated his wounds, he patiently cooperated, his eyes filled with trust and dependence.
The night before we were set to take action, I received an unsigned letter, the envelope adorned only with a black Black Mandala Flower. My heart sank suddenly, a sense of foreboding washing over me.
With trembling hands, I opened the letter, and the contents made me feel as if I had fallen into an ice cellar: "Guo Lingxi, do you think you can escape this way? The real game has just begun; enjoy your last moments well!"
Who sent this letter? What do they want? Has our plan been leaked? My mind was filled with questions and fears, an unprecedented sense of crisis tightly enveloping me.
