Baili Xia took out the acupuncture kit, and after disinfecting each needle, she inserted them into Nangong Xu’s body.

Every step was so careful and slow, just like a beginner.

But each step was so accurate, she did not want Nangong Xu to suffer any unexpected pain.

Once all the needles were placed, Baili Xia sat down across from him.

She asked, “Is Xiaoxiao’s condition getting any better?”

A trace of pity flashed in Nangong Xu’s eyes. Recently, besides Ye Hua, this girl had come the most.

She was injured herself, and had so many worries, yet she still spent so much time with Xiaoxiao.

If he could, he really wanted to deceive this girl to ease her mind so she could rest well.

“Everything with her body is stabilized, but she herself seems to lack the will to wake up.”

“When you all are beside her, talk more; maybe she can hear you.”

“Really?” Baili Xia was somewhat moved.

Nangong Xu nodded; he wasn’t sure about it, but at least it was something for the girl to look forward to.

“Is the wound on your head alright? Do you need a checkup?”

“No need, I’m already fine.” Without a moment’s hesitation, Baili Xia shook her head and refused.

Her decisive demeanor clearly indicated she was avoiding something.

Nangong Xu noticed but said nothing.

Since she woke up, she’s been resisting the idea of a checkup, and he’s grown used to it.

After finishing the acupuncture, Baili Xia put away the silver needles, entrusted Xiaoxiao to Nangong Xu, and returned to her room.

Tonight, she still had things to do.

Even though there was some unpleasantness with Wu Ming, she couldn’t abandon her training.

Even without a teacher, she needed to train herself and become stronger.

Back in her room, she changed into sportswear and immediately headed toward the back mountain.

Once she arrived at the back mountain, it was still the same familiar meadow, with the climbing cliff beside it.

This was also where Xiaoxiao got injured. Seeing the place brought thoughts of Xiaoxiao to her mind.

Even now, it’s still unknown who pushed Xiaoxiao off the cliff.

If Xiaoxiao never wakes up, will the truth of this matter remain forever unknown?

Baili Xia practiced the martial arts she had previously learned on the grass, and after exercising, her blood was boiling.

She suddenly had an idea to see if there were any clues left on top of the cliff.

Even without a safety rope, Baili Xia thought that with her current skills, climbing this several dozen meters high cliff shouldn’t be too difficult.

Baili Xia walked to the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to grab a protruding rock to climb up.

Indeed, it wasn’t as hard as she imagined.

Before long, she was already ten meters high.

At this height, there was a tree growing horizontally, and Ye Hua said it intercepted Xiaoxiao, sparing her a worse fate.

She looked toward the tree, but a few meters away everything was pitch black and nothing was visible.

Baili Xia suddenly noticed something seemed to flash on the tree under the faint moonlight.

She looked closer and saw the shimmering object appeared to be a metal item.

The distance was a bit far, and Baili Xia stretched out her hand but still couldn’t reach it.

She wanted to climb over, but there was no footing from here to the tree.

She knew this object might be related to Xiaoxiao’s injury, and she couldn’t ignore it.

Baili Xia looked down and found a spot to leverage herself, lifted her foot onto it.

Pushing off with force, her body surged towards the tree branch.
