"Open the door, get the Awakening Water, and wake them up!"

When Sister Hua returned to the woodshed door, she saw two men chatting freely with Little Hua, and her face immediately darkened.

The three of them hurriedly stood up.

Little Hua was uneasy, keeping her head down without saying a word.

The two men were also somewhat embarrassed and quickly ran off, returning shortly with some bottles.

The bottles contained light blue liquid.

A few people entered the woodshed.

Ye Guichen had already lain back in his original position.

They each fed Ye Guichen a bit of the blue liquid.

Ye Guichen could taste that it seemed to be an antidote to the previous miasma.

Before long, Shui Liao woke up first. Seeing himself tied up and gearing up to struggle, Ye Guichen also opened his eyes: "Where is this place?"

Then, he deliberately glanced at Shui Liao, signaling him not to move recklessly.

This bit of rope naturally couldn't bind Shui Liao.

Before long, everyone woke up, but their bodies were still somewhat weak.

"Speak, who are you!" Sister Hua didn't bother with formalities and directly questioned.

Ye Guichen remained silent, while Yuan Shao smiled ingratiatingly: "I am a man of Young Master An Shengtian. My name is Yuan Shao, and I'm here to find Young Master An."

"You're from An Shengtian?" Sister Hua was taken aback, "You're not lying to me?"

"No, no, I'm here to report to Young Master An. Otherwise, how could I possibly know this place." Yuan Shao hurriedly explained.

Before coming, Yuan Shao had already discussed with Ye Guichen.

They all pretended to be Yuan Shao's subordinates, allowing Yuan Shao to make contact with An Shengtian and then act when the opportunity arose.

Sister Hua saw that Yuan Shao didn't seem to be lying, and she frowned slightly: "Fine, since you're from Young Master An, I won't make things difficult for you. But I can't let you leave. You must stay here obediently, and don't run around! I will inform Young Master An and let him decide your fate."

"Yes, yes, we appreciate it." Yuan Shao expressed extreme humility with a fawning look.

Soon, Sister Hua and the others left.

Outside the door, Sister Hua instructed: "Let that Ugly Fox bitch bring them some food, I'll be right back."

Inside, Ye Guichen's spirit was instantly revitalized when he heard the name Ugly Fox.

However, he didn't say much.

"Mr. Ye, what's going on?" After Sister Hua and the others left, Yuan Shao and the others looked nervously at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen briefly recounted what had happened.

Yuan Shao was shocked: "How dangerous, if they had used assassins, we would be dead for sure."

"Hmph, we wouldn't die." Ma Xiaoling's beautiful eyes flashed as she glanced at Ye Guichen: "Mr. Ye wasn't poisoned at all. If he didn't want to expose himself, he wouldn't be here now."

Yuan Shao slapped his forehead upon hearing this.

He had really been muddled.

Ye Guichen ignored their thoughts and spoke to Shui Liao: "Shui Liao, don't act rashly, and don't show your abilities, understand?"

Shui Liao may be physically strong, but the place was filled with toxins and other dangers. Losing him would be a significant loss.

"I'll listen to you." Shui Liao grinned.

In less than ten minutes, the door opened again.

An extremely ugly woman with a limping leg and several scars on her face hobbled in.

She carried a food box and kept her head down.

The two men guarding the door seemed rather impatient with the woman: "Hurry up! Damn, you're so ugly. If it weren't for you being an elder of Sakura Falling, you'd probably be dead already!"

"I really don't know what you're thinking. Hmph, how dare you steal the sacred object of Sakura Falling, you suicidal thing!"

The guard outside didn't enter, cursing the ugly woman as he said: "Put the things down for them and leave quickly, don't dirty our eyes."

"Yes, yes, yes." The ugly woman nodded repeatedly, without a word of rebuttal.

But Ye Guichen immediately recognized her as Ugly Fox.

Ugly Fox had become so pitiful?

Ye Guichen narrowed his eyes, confirming his thoughts.

It seemed something had indeed happened.

And judging by the scars on Ugly Fox's face, they appeared to be inflicted later, and she had likely been hit by something heavy, crippling her leg.

Initially, Ye Guichen thought Ugly Fox's figure wasn't bad despite her unattractive face. But now, with one leg crippled and her clothes in tatters, she looked no different from a beggar.

Ugly Fox, after entering the woodshed, said nothing, trembling as she put down the food, not even lifting her head before turning to leave.

"Ugly Fox." Ye Guichen's voice was low, inaudible to those outside.

Ugly Fox, who had turned away, shuddered upon hearing the name and quickly turned to look at Ye Guichen.

Upon recognizing him, Ugly Fox's pupils contracted sharply in disbelief.

She hadn't expected to encounter Ye Guichen here.

Ye Guichen gave Ugly Fox a slight smile and a gentle nod, saying nothing more.

Ugly Fox's excitement quickly returned to calmness, giving Ye Guichen a deep look before turning and leaving.

"Damn it, why are you dawdling, ugly freak? Are you hoping for a man?" Just as Ugly Fox reached the door, she endured another bout of cursing and humiliation.

The woodshed door closed again.

Yuan Shao looked at Ye Guichen in surprise: "Mr. Ye, do you know that woman?"

"Yes." Ye Guichen nodded but didn't elaborate.

Ugly Fox's current situation was clearly very bad, even being humiliated by An Shengtian's men.

However, since they could encounter her, finding the Seven-colored Lotus Jade and understanding their surroundings shouldn't be difficult.

The next step was figuring out how to meet Ugly Fox alone.

"Hey, aren't you going to untie us? How are we supposed to eat!" Looking at the food on the ground, Ye Guichen shouted towards the outside.

The handsome man pushed the door open and came in.

But recalling that they might be An Shengtian's men, he didn't dare to be too disrespectful: "I'm warning you, even though Sister Hua gave you food, without Young Master An's orders, even if you're untied, you'd better not act rashly."

"No, we won't." Yuan Shao quickly responded.

The handsome man stepped forward and untied them, then closed the door and left.

Looking at the food in front of them, Yuan Shao didn't dare to eat.

Ye Guichen picked up a bowl of rice in front of him and took a bite, "It's fine, eat it. The food isn't poisoned."

Hearing this, Shui Liao and Ma Xiaoling immediately began to eat.

After a night of torment, they were really hungry.

But Yuan Shao, cautious as ever, didn't make a move, appearing worried: "Mr. Ye, do you think An Shengtian might suspect something? It seems he holds some authority here. If he finds out I betrayed him, we won't even have a place to run!"

"Let's eat first." Ye Guichen had already formulated a plan in his mind, ignoring Yuan Shao's complaints.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

"Yuan Shao, Young Master An is looking for you!" Sister Hua said expressionlessly.
