Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Questioning, Self-rescue

Thinking of what his sister had just said, the young boy clenched his fists in anger. So forcefully did he grip that the veins on the back of his hands bulged and his nails dug deep into his flesh, yet he was oblivious to it.It was evident how furious he was.Yun Yi patted his shoulder and explained her thoughts in detail.Xiao Chenrui's eyes were filled with determination: 'Alright, sister, give me the letter, and I will make a trip to the Jinwang Residence right now.'Yun Yi shook her head: 'Don't go today, we can't let the people in the residence notice. Calling you over so late might have already aroused suspicion. We must not act rashly in the future.'After hearing his sister's words, Xiao Chenrui nodded seriously: 'Sister, Chenrui will remember.'The siblings chatted for a few more words, and then Xiao Chenrui left with the letter.On the other side, the first lady, Lady He, fiddled with the teacup in her hand: 'Mother Sun, send someone to call the house physician over.'Mother Sun bowed: 'Yes, madam.'Soon, the house physician followed a maid into the room: 'Greetings, First Lady.'Lady He did not tell her to rise, but kept staring at the physician before slowly lifting her teacup: 'Regarding the matter with the third young miss, do you have anything to say?'The house physician spoke calmly: 'I indeed did as the madam instructed, Mother Sun is very clear about that. What exactly went wrong in the middle, I do not know.'Lady He heavily placed down her teacup: 'If I find out you've done anything behind the scenes, don't blame me for being unkind to you!'The house physician quickly kowtowed and said, 'I dare not, I hope the madam will investigate clearly.' At this moment, He had a cold expression on her face: 'Previously, in front of the old madam, I asked you if the third young miss needed to drink some more decoction to consolidate her condition, why did you refuse?' The house physician hurriedly explained, 'Replying to the madam, I was also considering the madam's reputation. Today, when the third young miss woke up, it caused a commotion known to everyone in the residence. If something goes wrong again right away, I'm afraid the Jinwang Residence will investigate deeply...' The house physician didn't continue, thinking to himself, 'I can only drag it out for one more day, hoping that the third young miss can get better soon, so that the madam won't have the chance to take action.' He thought it over and felt the same, perhaps the Jinwang Residence had already received the news. If something untoward happens to the person who has already woken up, the Jinwang Residence might also become suspicious. It's better to proceed slowly to avoid causing trouble for oneself. She scrutinized the house physician, who had a normal expression: 'For now, I will believe what you said. Watch your own mouth and leave.' After nightfall, Yun Yi sent the maid away, closed the doors and windows, and then flashed into the space. Pushing open the door of the villa, she immediately saw the little snow fox lying on the sofa, resting with closed eyes. Xue Li opened her eyes upon hearing the noise, and although she was still not very spirited, she was much better than before. Yun Yi held Xue Li in her arms with heartache: 'Xue Li, how did this space become like this?' She then learned from Xue Li the reason for the dramatic change in the space. It turned out that after she and Long Jingrui were sucked into the time tunnel, the space initiated its ultimate defense mechanism for self-protection. As a result, all things in the space that contained spiritual energy were exhausted, including those precious spiritual plants and spiritual beasts. What pained Xue Li the most was that even her companion could not escape this disaster. Her companion was trapped in the villa at the time, and when it felt that something was wrong, it couldn't get out, and could only watch everything happen helplessly, eventually leaving the space in its current desolate state.And that mobile villa customized in the twenty-first century, because its main structure is made of steel frames and the walls are made of modern synthetic panels, contains not a trace of spiritual energy, so it was not consumed and was preserved, along with the items inside, which were also miraculously saved.
