Ji Cangyu led everyone to Beifengzhai to pick up Ji Lie and his son, then walked up to Miaofeng Mountain in a mighty manner, finally arriving before dark.
The setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon red, while the soft glow covered the top of Miaofeng Mountain with golden gauze. Miaofeng Mountain at dusk is as beautiful as ever.
However, Ling'er had no intention of appreciating it at this time, let alone the comfort of walking home at sunset.
"Finally back!" Zhong Gong exhaled a long breath, handed the reins to his brother, and went to the carriage to help Ling'er down.
Ling'er lifted up her skirt, stepped out of the carriage with Zhong Gong's assistance, and looked up at the plaque on the gatehouse with the four golden characters "Miaofeng Villa" engraved on it.
"Ling'er hasn't been home for a while, right?" Zhong Gong said with a smile.
Ling'er has indeed not returned to Miaofeng Villa for quite some time, and she has always regarded Miaofeng Villa as her home. But at this time, Miaofeng Villa suddenly became unfamiliar to her.
Ling'er never knew that Miaofeng Mountain, which looked like a fairyland on earth, was actually the ruins of the Moon Burial Sect, and everything that had happened here was like a nightmare that she could never forget.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Zhong Gong noticed Ling'er's strange behavior and asked with concern.
"When you are tired, go in and take a rest! Ji Tao should have prepared dinner." Ji Cangyu said.
The Ji Tao mentioned by Ji Cangyu is the second housekeeper of Miaofeng Villa. If Ji Lie follows Ji Cangyu out, Ji Tao will take care of the affairs in the villa.
"Jun'er must be tired too! My father will take you to Miaozhuyuan. You will live there from now on." Ji Cangyu put his arm on Xu Jun's shoulder and led him inside.
Zhong Gong took Ling'er's baggage and said with a smile: "Look at Master's happy look. He has been looking forward to this day for more than ten years!"
After following Zhong Gong into Miaoxiang Courtyard, Ling'er sat down in the hall.
"Aren't you going to put the baggage back in Miao Yuyuan?" Zhong Gong asked puzzledly.
"There aren't many things, so just leave them here for now!" Ling'er said weakly.
"It seems that my good Ling'er is hungry. It's all because you didn't eat when you were at the inn! When A Yang was still there, you were busy grabbing and boiling medicine; after he left, you were so depressed that you couldn't eat." Zhong Gong Said distressedly.
Hearing Zhong Gong mention Qi Yang, Ling'er lowered her eyes sadly.
"Shall I bring you some pastries?" Zhong Gong turned around and was about to leave, but was held back by Ling'er.
"Brother Zhong Gong, don't go. I'm not hungry." Ling'er let go of her hand and whispered, "I just feel that there is nothing to do after I come back."
"Nothing to do?" Zhong Gong asked puzzledly, "Don't you always be eager to see the precious herbs you grow in Miaoshangyuan when you come back?"
"Aunt Gui is taking care of them for me, they will be fine." Ling'er replied listlessly.
"Ling'er, I think you're not tired, but you're lovesick!" Zhong Gong teased, "You've only been away from A Yang for half a day, and you already miss him?"
"I..." Ling'er wanted to retort, but felt a little weak. She really missed Qi Yang.
"Did I get it right?" Zhong Gong said proudly.
"No!" Ling'er quickly defended, "I'm just... I'm just worried about his poison, and I don't know if it's been cured." Ling'er said, her eyes turning red.
Zhong Gong was very anxious when he saw this and said: "My good Ling'er, don't be like this! I just won't mention Ayang in the future."
Unexpectedly, when Zhong Gong said this, Ling'er's tears began to fall.
Zhong Gong sighed helplessly, thinking: "This is all Junior Brother Jun's fault! If he hadn't tried his best to dissuade the master, the master would have brought Ayang back to the villa to recuperate, and he would not have let the Yixing clan take him away."
It turns out that Zhong Gong didn't know that Ji Cangyu left Qi Yang alone in the inn. He thought it was Ji Cangyu who asked the Yixing clan to take Qi Yang away.

The fifteenth moon is sixteen round.
Ling'er sat in the pavilion of Miaoshangyuan, staring at the round moon in a daze.
"If Brother Yang's poison wasn't completely released last night, then he won't have an easy time tonight, right?" Thinking of this, Ling'er sighed heavily.
"Ling'er, why are you sighing again?" Zhong Gong walked slowly towards this side.
"Brother Zhong Gong, haven't you rested yet?" Ling'er lowered her eyes and asked.
"I heard Yunwen said that you have been sitting here after dinner, so I came here to take a look." Zhong Gong said and sat down next to Ling'er.
Knowing that Zhong Gong was worried about her, Ling'er said apologetically: "I'm fine."
"If you want to see Ayang, I will tell the master after you have finished paying homage to Master's Wife, and Zhong Long and I will take you back to the capital." Zhong Gong said.
"Really?" Ling'er's eyes lit up.
"Really! We're only apart for a few days, so don't sigh anymore." Zhong Gong advised.
"Actually, I'm not just worried about Brother Yang." Ling'er said what was on her mind, "I think the villa is different from before."
"It's different?" Zhong Gong couldn't help but look around, but didn't find anything different.
"It feels different to me." Ling'er explained, "You should know about the Moon Burial Sect, right?"
"The Moon Burial Sect? Linger, do you know everything?" Zhong Gong asked with a frown.
Linger nodded.
"Actually, Master is also afraid that you will be scared, so he keeps hiding it from you." Zhong Gong said.
"Afraid?" Ling'er was puzzled.
"There is a big devil in the village who does all kinds of evil. Everyone will be afraid!" Zhong Gong said matter-of-factly.
"Big devil? Is the big devil still locked up?" Ling'er looked at Zhong Gong in shock.
Zhong Gong was stunned and quickly covered his mouth, thinking: "Oh no! Ling'er doesn't know about this, right?"
"I really don't know, Brother Zhong Gong, tell me quickly!" Ling'er urged.
Zhong Long hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's all my fault for accidentally letting it slip. In that case, I'll tell you! What do you already know?"
"I know this is the site of the Moon Burial Sect. Many people died in the earlier battle." Ling'er frowned.
"Yes, Master said this before. After that war, we martial arts people in the Central Plains originally wanted to kill all the people of the Moon Burial Sect to eradicate the roots. But I don't know who interceded and left one alive." Zhong Gong explain.
"Then he will be imprisoned in our villa?" Ling'er said in horror.
"Don't be afraid, Ling'er! The big devil has lost his martial arts and is locked in a secret dungeon. He can't escape." Zhong Gong hurriedly comforted Ling'er.
"The dungeon you mentioned is at Miaoyiyuan?" Ling'er asked again.
Zhong Gong shook his head. The dungeons of Miaoyiyuan only contained some small bandits who were causing trouble in nearby villages.
"Where is that?" Ling'er asked.
Zhong Gong looked at Ling'er in embarrassment. Ji Cangyu had promised not to mention the location of the secret dungeon to anyone, but Zhong Gong couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Ling'er's eyes full of worry. Rather than letting Ling'er be frightened all day long, it would be better to tell her all the possible dangers.
Zhong Gong leaned close to Ling'er and whispered in his ear: "Do you still remember that when we were young, our master wouldn't let us play hide-and-seek in the woods next to Miao Si Yuan?"
Ling'er said in surprise: "Is that dungeon in the yard where Uncle Ji lives?"
