"Be careful …" Banjie quickly used his hand to pull the rope. The rest of the people immediately regained their tense nerves, and slowly pulled the rope tighter, pulling the khan back up.

Tengger let out a breath and used both his hands to climb up the steep rock wall.

"Pull, the sweat is coming up!" Benjamin saw the figure of Khan climbing up the stairs and shouted to his brothers behind him.

Tengg carefully walked with each step, pulling him up with the rope. After a while, he smoothly returned to the ground. He looked at the other four people and laughed loudly, "I will definitely do what Ben Kaihan said!"

"The khan is wise …" The four of them kneeled down one by one to show their submission to the leader.

To be able to obtain the Seven Colored Beauty Flower so easily was much simpler than he had imagined. This was the need for courage, and as long as one had the guts, it would definitely not be a problem.

He went back to the tree and untied the rope. The rope was tied to a knot, so it couldn't be untied at all. Tengger swung his blade and cut the rope, then brought the rest of the rope down the mountain as soon as possible.

Cen Xue had already returned to her bed and lay down. Due to her medicinal bath, the poison had already seeped into her body through her skin, and Old Man Wu immediately injected, piling up all the poison onto her right cheek. At this moment, her right cheek had turned purple, which was the reason why all the poison had gathered here.

"Girl, now that dad has applied the ointment for you, this is a crucial step, later your face will be very itchy, you must persevere, don't grab at it, and don't scratch it. If you can't hold on, then we will have wasted all our previous efforts." Mr. Witch warned her worriedly.

"I'll remember, I definitely won't be able to bear it." Cen Xue nodded; she would not let down everyone's hard work.

As the water blue was helping, the old man placed the white paste on Cen Xue's right cheek and spread it out evenly, avoiding her eyes and covering her entire greenish purple skin. He even ate a pill to protect her internal organs and ensure that the poison in her body would not endanger her life.

The sky gradually darkened as the five of them smoothly received their snow lotuses and beauties' flowers. They were rushing back, and Tengger was thinking about Cen Xue's situation. He wondered how she was doing right now. Was Old Man Wu starting to apply the ointment for her?

"Everyone should hurry up. The sky is about to turn dark." Tana reminded everyone that in the forest, once the sky darkened, it would be extremely dangerous because the beasts liked to come out at night to pounce on food. He did not want to become the beasts' dinner.

They increased their pace along the way they came from. When the sky was about to completely cover the entirety of Lang Xie Mountain, they finally returned to the foot of the mountain and ran towards the cave.

"Dad, we're back …" Tengger's shout was laced with joy. This trip had gone smoothly, and Cen Xue would soon be back to her original state.

"Ah …"

However, their father did not come back to greet them in the cave. Instead, a painful cry came from the stone room.

Did something happen to Cen Xue? That was Tung's first reaction.

He quickly rushed into the stone room. Beside the bed, the three of them gathered around Cen Xue and held her hand, telling her to hold on.

"What happened?" Tengg rushed forward and looked at Cen Xue's pained face. The expression on his face was telling him that she was feeling really bad right now …

"Now that you guys are back, don't worry, this is the medicinal effect of the ointment, and your faces will be itchy, but you definitely can't scratch it, otherwise, your face will become even more terrifying!" Father Witch explained to Tung.

Tengger came to Cen Xue's bedside, took out the Seven Colored Beauty Flower that was wrapped in a silk scarf, and happily said to her, "Cen Xue, look, we've done well this time. I've already obtained the flower.

Cen Xue looked at the seven colors of the flower in his hand. So beautiful. So this was a Seven Colored Beauty Flower. A treasure that could completely remove the scars on her face.

"En, thank you. I will persevere …" At this moment, Cen Xue's eyes were looking at her tomorrow. She could return to her original appearance. In other words, she could return to Han Li's side?

Thinking of this, tears of excitement rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She would persevere to the end, she would definitely persevere to the end …

Wu Haoyu's father didn't expect that they would be able to pick the seven-colored beauty flower so easily, and he immediately took the snow lotus and the beauty flower back and mixed them together to make a medicine to remove the scars.

Cen Xue endured through the night. When her father went to shave Cen Xue's face early the next morning, it should have been white when he applied the white paste. However, now it covered the innermost layer of her skin, turning it into a bruised green color.

Tengg looked at Cen Xue's face nervously. When the ointment was completely removed from her face, Tengger's heart tightened as he asked anxiously, "Father, did something happen? Why is the scar on Cen Xue's face so red?"

The original scar was reddish brown, but now it was bright red. It was even more eye-catching.

"This is normal. If there's no change, then this ancient recipe of mine is useless!" Old man Wu was satisfied as he looked at the bright red scar on Cen Xue's face.

"Then what should we do next?" Tung asked in confusion.

"Have a good rest and drink more water. This ointment will need to be applied for three days. The scars are too deep, there's no need to rush!" With that, he took out another pill and placed it in Cen Xue's hand for her to swallow.

Cen Xue took the pill and ate it without asking what it was.

"Dad, what's that?" Tung asked, frowning.

"Hundred Flowers Antidote Pill." He had never known that the khan would ask so many questions. Today, he had finally experienced it.

"Big brother Tengger, we have to believe in old man Witch!" The voice interrupted their conversation.

Looking at Cen Xue, Tengge was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be a little too sensitive just now. With an embarrassed smile, he turned and left the stone room.

For the next three nights, Cen Xue applied the ancient formula ointment personally concocted by Old Man Wu, which caused her to experience an incomparably itchy night. Thankfully, this method was very useful.

Tengger took the bronze mirror and let Cen Xue see for herself. Looking at her daily changes, Cen Xue's heart was filled with joy. She could not express her current feelings with a single word.

Cen Xue was recovering day by day, but within Lou Lan's palace, Helian Lie was on the verge of going crazy. At this moment, the entire palace was immersed in a tense atmosphere, and all of the people in the palace were tense.

Because in the past few days, His Majesty had bestowed eight eunuchs and three palace maids to their deaths. Everyone was now waiting for Empress Snow to return as soon as possible. As long as she returned, the palace would breathe heavily.

"Bang …" The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard from Xingqing Palace's dorm room. Right now, whenever Helian Lie returned to Xingqing Palace, he would lose his temper for no reason. Anyone who did something wrong would only end up with one word, "die!"

Just as Yuwen Tuo entered the hall, he heard a shattering sound coming from the room.

"Greetings, Young Master Yuwen." When Lan Qi'er saw him, she hurriedly bowed her body.

Yuwen Tuo waved his hand to indicate that she did not need to do so. He walked up to her and asked with concern: "Has the king been in such a bad mood recently?"

"Yes, ever since I found out that master left on his own accord and searched for so many days without any news, the king's temper has been getting worse and worse. Every time I return to the palace in the past few days, I would get drunk and throw things around, calling master's name …" Lan Qi'er told Yu Wen everything he knew.

"Alright, go and get busy." Yuwen Tuo let out a sigh and walked towards his room.

It seemed that he had drunk quite a bit. When Yuwen Tuo walked in, Helian Lie did not even turn his head to look at him and immediately knew that the person who had come was him. He said with a bit of drunkenness, "Is there any news?"

Every day, the Azure Dragon would come back with news, but so many days had passed since then, and every time he would give the same answer, he would feel numb.

"Yes …" Yuwen Tuo stood behind him and replied seriously.

This word stimulated all of Helian Shan's senses. He put down the wine bottle in his hand, rushed to his front, and asked with a frown, "Where is it? "Where's Cen Xue?"

"I don't know. It's just that some people said they saw a horse carriage heading towards the city gate that night. Moreover, there were a few men who didn't look like they were from Lou Lan's country who protected the horse carriage as they left." Yuwen Tuo had found the person who had beaten him up that night and asked about these things.

Helian Lie carefully analyzed his words and headed for the city gate. But why did the city guard who was on duty that night say that there were no suspicious carriages leaving? Were they lying?

Yuwen Tuo had already thought of what he was thinking and added: "The first reason that the guards didn't find anything suspicious is probably because they all disguised themselves and changed their identities. As for the second reason, they naturally received benefits and hid the truth!"

"Damned bastard …" Helian Lie was infuriated. He flipped the table of the Eight Immortals, which was a step away from him, with a palm.

"Men, go capture those soldiers guarding the gate one by one and interrogate them in detail!" Helian Lie was so angry that his eyes turned red. He believed that someone must have lied to him.

"Understood …"

Yuwen Tuo listened to the footsteps outside of the door before taking out a letter from his body. He handed it to Helian Lie and said, "This is a letter that has been sent from the border."

Actually, he had already sent someone to check on the border pass, which proved that the person did not just take him away. Ever since he left for Red Mountain City, he had never left the city, and during this period of time, he had sent a letter from the capital. It should have been that Tuo had been in contact with him all along, informing him about Cen Xue's situation.

After receiving the letter, he didn't order his subordinates to burn the letter. Instead, he opened the envelope and read all the contents inside. A few short lines of words expressed Helian Zhenyi's thoughts.

Helian Lie sighed as he folded the letter. What shouldn't have happened has already happened.

"Don't worry too much, my lord. I believe we will soon be able to get some information from the soldiers guarding the city." Yuwen Tuo firmly said.
