The stranger is as warm as jade, the young master is unrivaled in the world; isn’t this the Shui Clan Young Master—Shui Yixuan?

The Shui Clan has two sets of attire, one set is white, the other blue. It seems that in Wind Valley, everyone wore white, while the other set, which is water blue, is the attire worn by the Shui Clan when interacting with outsiders.

Shui Yixuan’s appearance fits the classic features of an Eastern gentleman, appearing gentle as jade on the surface, yet there is a chill that keeps people at a distance of a thousand miles.

But at this moment, she could sense his approachable warmth. Could this be the inextricable destiny between her and the Shui Clan?

In the original novel, after being rescued by Shui Yuntian, she became the legitimate eldest Miss of the Shui family. Although she hasn’t interacted with the Shui Clan for nine years in this lifetime, they know her well, and when they meet, they talk easily, without any unfamiliarity. Especially at this moment, the way Shui Yixuan looks at her, it’s truly gentle.

"Come, let me introduce myself. I am Shui Yixuan, called Runyu. Although it’s my first time meeting Miss Jiang, your self-taught expertise and unique training methods have already spread to every corner of Wind Valley. I’ve admired you for a long time, and meeting you today, you’re indeed extraordinary. No wonder my grandfather likes you so much!"

Jiang Xue gratefully bowed to the grandfather and grandson. "Having the two of you think highly of me, I am truly grateful. I will repay the life-saving grace."

Shui Yuntian looked at her head still wrapped in white gauze. "Alright, alright, no need to be so formal. Sit down and let’s discuss the poison in you. Since you understand medical skills and play with poison, I won’t ask where you learned it, but do you know about your own physical condition?"

In the original novel, the heroine experienced her first poison attack the night after the male lead QB, also discovered by Shui Yuntian. She took a different path but much didn’t change; she still ended up in the Old Valley Master’s hands, coincidentally discovered.

Even though Shui Yixuan had no interest in studying medicine or poison, as the Young Master of the Shui Clan, how could he know nothing?

He glanced at her pale little face, finding it hard to believe she was unhealthy, "Did you fall because of the poison?"

Jiang Xue nodded, "While picking herbs, I suddenly felt pain all over my body, barely climbed up the mountain, and then it suddenly started to pour. After stepping on air, I remember nothing. I think it’s the poison in my body acting up. No, to be precise, it’s a kind of poisonous insect, planted in me since birth."

Shui Yuntian, stroking his beard, pondered, "So, you mean this is the first attack?"

Jiang Xue instinctively glanced toward her heart, "Yes, although I’ve known for a long time, it hadn’t reacted until yesterday. Suddenly, I don’t know why, it just..."

Speaking to this point, she suddenly clutched her chest, her movements clearly stiff, as a layer of goosebumps rose visibly on her exposed wrist, as if suffocating, she gasped heavily, "Ha... um... ugh..."

The continuous sound of sy startled Shui Yixuan, who was making tea, and as he turned around, Jiang Xue’s chest seemed to be under immense pressure, forcing her to tremble uncontrollably. In pain, her previously pale, bloodless little face suddenly flushed red, as if holding in pressure with no outlet.

In a moment, she tasted a metallic sweetness in her mouth, and "puh," she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then continued to vomit, trembling...

As the teacup fell to the ground with a piercing shattering sound, Shui Yixuan and Shui Yuntian both moved forward. Although Shui Yixuan had seen many bloody scenes, at this moment, a flicker of tension passed through his deep eyes as he instinctively inquired,

"Miss Jiang, is the poison acting up again?"

Before she could reply, Shui Yixuan apologized and grabbed Jiang Xue’s wrist to feel her pulse. Feeling her heart’s continuous rapid beating and the immense pressure, he was shocked, was it really a poisonous insect?

He instinctively glanced toward Shui Yuntian, who, seeing his grandson’s reaction, knew he had discovered it too, so he approached and placed two fingers on Jiang Xue’s pulse.

But upon just touching, it was as if he was burned, instantly furrowing his brows, the passing seconds making his expression increasingly grave.

"This insect’s reaction is rather domineering, with an alarming heart rate, chaotic inner breath, and a mysterious pressure in her chest constantly surging upwards, causing her to cough blood. Are you sure there were no symptoms before?"
