Chapter 869: Phoenix Arrives
Six hours ago...

"Brother, stop the car!"

"Little sister, what's wrong?" Pan Yun held the reins and looked at Pan Yuyin who came out of the carriage, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Yuyin, our lives are at stake, don't lose your temper!"

"Dad, Mom, it's because my life is at stake that I can't just walk away."

Pan Yuyin, who was determined, ignored the dissuasion of Pan Wen and his wife. In the surprised eyes of Pan Yun, she jumped off the carriage stubbornly, then knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed three times to the worried Pan Wen and his wife, and choked up and said: "Dad, Mom, please forgive me for being unfilial. I can't go with you. I must go back to Lin'an to find Brother Liu. We heard his conversation with Jia Fu clearly, what "nothing" and "dying man", my daughter felt terrified when she thought about it. Brother Liu returned to Lin'an to save us, and now he is in danger of life and death, how can I escape?"

"Silly girl, our family was involved in a lawsuit for no reason, all because of Liu Xunyi." Madam Pan advised earnestly, "It is only natural for him to save us, why do you feel guilty? What's more, even if you go back, what can you do to help him?"

"Little sister, what mother said makes sense." Pan Yun gradually understood Pan Yuyin's intention and couldn't help but feel worried. He hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "You are powerless. If you go back, you will only become a burden to Brother Liu. Why don't you..."

"I don't care!" Pan Yuyin said stubbornly, "Even if Lin'an is a dangerous place, I will go back to find out what's going on."

"Yuyin, Dad knows how you feel about Liu Xunyi, but he and we are not from the same world after all, so why should you follow him through thick and thin? Regardless of how dangerous his current situation is, even if he can escape this disaster, one day he will meet a woman who shares the same ideals as him. By then... how will you cope with it?" Pan Wen said sadly, "Dad is a man, and he knows how men feel about women. If Liu Xunyi has any feelings for you, Dad will never break up the couple, but he only has friendship for you, not love between men and women."

"Your father is right!" Mrs. Pan hastily agreed, "My silly daughter, you are both talented and beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered, and there are countless young men who like you. Why do you have to fall in love with Liu Xunyi, who doesn't understand romance?"

"Dad, Mom, you have misunderstood your daughter!" Pan Yuyin interrupted Pan Wen and his wife's lobbying with righteous words, "I have no romantic feelings for Brother Liu, I am just grateful to him. First, he saved our lives and is our Pan family's great benefactor. Second, the princess once entrusted me with a good word. Grandpa taught me to be loyal to people who trust me. Since I promised the princess that I would take good care of Brother Liu for her no matter what difficulties she encountered, I must not break my promise!"

"You are so stupid! He has done us a favor, so you have to marry him?" Mrs. Pan said angrily, "How can a girl be so frivolous?"

"Mom!" Pan Yuyin's cheeks flushed, and her tone was a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Don't say anything more! I have made up my mind. I know what I am doing and what the consequences will be. Even if you try to stop me today, I will find a way to rush back to Lin'an tomorrow."

"You girl..."

"Forget it!" Looking at Pan Yuyin who was determined to fight to the death, Pan Wen sighed helplessly and turned to Madam Pan who was crying in anger and said, "My daughter has grown up and has her own ideas. Madam, let's just let her go!"

"How can a mother feel at ease when a weak girl is away all alone?" Mrs. Pan came forward with the help of Pan Wen and Pan Yun, hugged the ashamed Pan Yuyin tightly, and sobbed, "Mother is not stopping you, nor blaming you. Your stubbornness is very similar to your grandfather, and I know that I can't keep you here today, but mother just can't let you go... You are my daughter, the flesh and blood of my body..."

"Mother, I promise you that I will never take risks alone. I will be careful and cautious, and I will go to my aunt's house to reunite with you safely."

The aunt Pan Yuyin mentioned was Pan Feng, the daughter of Pan Chuba and the younger sister of Pan Wen.

She married and moved far away to Jiazhou. Her husband He Hu ran a "Longwei Escort Agency". Although he was not wealthy and powerful, he was at least a local tyrant.

As his family fell into poverty and he had nowhere else to go, Pan Wen decided to go to Jiazhou to live out his days with his sister and brother-in-law.

"Little sister, you don't have to worry about our parents. I will take good care of them. You must take good care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties... come back immediately. We will wait for you."

"Dad, Mom, Brother, take care of yourself. I'm leaving!"

As the family said their sad farewell, Pan Yuyin resolutely returned to Lin'an. Pan Wen and his wife, as well as Pan Yun, stood beside the carriage in a daze, silently watching Pan Yuyin going farther and farther away, tears falling uncontrollably until their vision was blurred.

……

"Father, mother, please forgive me for being unfilial..."

In the room, the drowsy Pan Yuyin kept calling out to Pan Wen and his wife. Her half-awake and half-asleep dreams were filled with sad scenes of her separation from her parents and brothers.

"mother!"

Pan Yuyin, who was sweating profusely, suddenly woke up, sat up with a jerk, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and a hint of confusion gradually emerged in his frightened eyes.

"here it is……"

"you're awake?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door. Then, Xunzhen, with a solemn expression, pushed the door open and walked in accompanied by Abaolu.

Upon seeing Xunzhen, Pan Yuyin was stunned, and her mind quickly recalled her own experiences.

After saying goodbye to her parents and brothers, she ran all the way to Lin'an until she fainted on the side of the road from exhaustion...

Thinking of this, Pan Yuyin suddenly realized and quickly stood up to thank her: "Thank you Miss Xunzhen for saving my life."

"Miss Pan, why are you alone in the wilderness?" Xunzhen asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Lin'an!"

"Lin'an? Why?"

"Because Brother Liu was imprisoned for saving our family, he might be in danger..." At this point, Pan Yuyin suddenly had an idea and said hesitantly, "Miss Xunzhen, why are you here?"

"What a coincidence! We are also here for your brother Liu." "What do you mean?" Looking at Xunzhen who was so sure of his words, Pan Yuyin looked confused.

"Your brother Liu almost died in Lin'an City last night. Fortunately, we showed up in time." Abaolu interrupted without hesitation.

"What?" Pan Yuyin was shocked. "What happened?"

"This is a long story, and now is not the time to explain." Xunzhen pondered, "I have heard that Miss Pan followed the 'world's number one doctor' Taohua Granny to study medicine, I wonder...what are the results?"

"Miss Xunzhen means..."

"Liu Xunyi has been injured for nearly three hours, and Abaolu and the others have been taking turns to use their internal energy to protect his meridians and prolong his life." Xunzhen said bluntly, "But this method is definitely not a long-term solution. Liu Xunyi's heart and lungs are injured, and his vitality is getting weaker and weaker. If he can't get treatment, I'm afraid... he won't survive until noon."

"We found three or four doctors, but they were all helpless in the face of Liu Xunyi's injuries."

"Where is Brother Liu?"

After hearing Xunzhen and Abaolu's explanation, Pan Yuyin, who was in a state of confusion, could no longer suppress her inner panic and urged them impatiently: "Take me to see him!"

"You come with me!"

While they were talking, Xunzhen brought Pan Yuyin to the next room.

When she pushed open the door, a strong smell of blood mixed with an unpleasant smell of medicine hit her nose, which caught Pan Yuyin off guard and made her brows slightly frown and her stomach churn.

However, when she rushed to the bedside and saw Liu Xunyi, whose face was ashen, covered in blood, and a sharp sword was stuck in his chest, she immediately gasped, her panicked face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"This this……"

Looking at Liu Xunyi, who was barely breathing and in critical condition, Pan Yuyin felt as if her heart had fallen into an endless abyss, and her chaotic thoughts were completely tangled in her mind. Suddenly, her chest felt tight, her throat felt tight, her whole body was trembling, and tears were pouring down. This kind of grief and shock that was almost desperate made her stunned, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

"Miss Pan, now is not the time to be sad. If you don't want Liu Xunyi to die, you must save him immediately!"

"I……"

Faced with Xunzhen's calmness, Pan Yuyin, who had been in a state of panic for a long time, suddenly came to her senses. She first looked at Liu Xunyi, who was motionless, then at Xunzhen and Abaolu, and then at the basins of blood and bottles of medicinal materials beside the bed. She was so flustered that she stamped her feet on the spot, but she couldn't explain why. Even if Xunzhen and Abaolu wanted to help, they didn't know where to start.

"Miss Pan, what are you looking for?"

"Medicine...medicine box!"

Pan Yuyin, feeling timid and frightened, stumbled back to her room, and then stumbled back with the medicine box.

"You must... you must pull out the sword first."

Panic-stricken Pan Yuyin half-knelt beside the blood-soaked bed, looking anxiously at the wound that was covered with medicine but still bleeding, and said tremblingly: "Help me..."

"What do you need us to do?"

"Water... clean water and gold medicine as much as you need... and find two strong men to hold him down." Pan Yuyin said quickly, "The moment the sword is drawn will cause unbearable pain for ordinary people. Brother Liu is likely to struggle, but the sword is inserted into his chest and touches his heart and lungs. There must be no misalignment. If the injury is exacerbated, even the Golden Immortal will be powerless to save him."

"Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao!" Abaolu shouted loudly, and the three people waiting outside the door quickly broke into the room.

"Come with me and hold Liu Xunyi down. No matter what happens, don't let him move an inch."

"no problem!"

While they were talking, Abaolu and the other three had clamped Liu Xunyi's body tightly. Pan Yuyin pulled out a large piece of cotton yarn from the medicine box and carefully wrapped it around the sword.

In the blink of an eye, the snow-white cotton yarn was soaked by the bright red blood, leaving Pan Yuyin's slender fingers covered in blood.

"Miss Xunzhen, I am too weak, and... I am not calm and careful enough." Pan Yuyin cast a pitiful look at Xunzhen and begged, "Can you... draw the sword for Brother Liu?"

"Me?" Xunzhen was stunned, his eyes becoming more serious. "Miss Pan, although I am not proficient in medicine, I know a thing or two. It is extremely dangerous to draw the sword rashly. I wonder...how confident are you?"

"I don't know." Pan Yuyin's face was covered with tears, her tone was anxious and bitter, "I only know that if I don't draw my sword, Brother Liu's blood will run dry sooner or later."

"You mean... try it out?"

Faced with Xunzhen's surprise, Pan Yuyin pursed her red lips, tried hard to calm her uneasy heart, and nodded heavily.

"If you draw your sword, there might be a glimmer of hope. If you don't draw your sword... Brother Liu will surely die."
