Yuan Fengling had no intention of running away by going to her grandma's house. Although the world was so big, where could she run to?
She was sure of one thing: before the martial arts conference, Changfeng Tower would never cause trouble for her, so she acted so unscrupulously.
She was right. For the Bai family to make a smooth comeback, and for Changfeng Tower to be able to enter and leave the world normally in the future, Li Fenglan didn't want to cause too much of a stir. So they spent the Lantern Festival in Chaolan Valley honestly.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Li Fenglan and his party said goodbye to Chen Yan and Zhou Xiao and embarked on the road back to Luoyang.
Prior to this, Mo Changfeng, at Zhao Shunlai's suggestion, had already tried to contact Jianghu people and dismantled some of the traps in the valley. It sent a signal to the world that "making friends is welcome, and revenge is also welcome."
When it comes to Zhao Shunlai, this kid is considered the junior that Mo Changfeng is most proud of, and he even likes him more than Li Fenglan. Be organized, bold and careful, and have a sense of responsibility. Although I haven't been out of the valley much, I can analyze the current situation just by hearing a few words. With such a junior here, Mo Changfeng can completely become the hands-off shopkeeper. This is much better than Li Fenglan who causes thrills every day outside the valley.
So when Zhao Shunlai was drunk because Jade "officially announced" her relationship with Bai Shuyu, Mo Changfeng patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "My child, there is no obstacle that I can't get through. I can't help but Changfeng's reputation is that no matter what, he can find you a wife who is as beautiful as jade, no worse than Jade. Drink less wine, it is not good for your health."
Zhao Shunlai said: "Hiccup~ Have another drink..."
Walking on the mountain road back to Luoyang, Li Fenglan opened the curtain of the car, looked at Bai Shuyu who was walking in front of the team, and turned back to ask Jade: "Did you see Zhao Shunlai when you came out of the valley?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"I heard from Uncle Zhao that he was completely depressed after drinking from the third day of the Lunar New Year until yesterday. When he sent us out just now, I saw him secretly wiping his tears alone."
Jade rolled her eyes: "Why are you telling me this?"
Li Fenglan teased: "Hey, how can our beloved Sister Feicui be upset over such a trivial matter? I've just broken a few people's hearts. Trivial things are all trivial things."
Jade narrowed her eyes and said, "Li Fenglan, if you call me sister again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Although she was not happy to be Li Fenglan's sister when she was a child, now that their ages are reversed, she is even less happy to be Li Fenglan's sister. Especially Li Fenglan's strong mocking tone every time she calls her sister, as if she is saying: You are a twenty-year-old woman.
Thinking of these emeralds, I couldn't help but sigh: In the blink of an eye... I am already twenty years old, and I have jumped past the age of nineteen. I feel like I have lost a year in my life.
…
In the Thorn Gate, the senior officials gathered outside Yang Fan's house, each with their brows furrowed.
Agarwood stood at the door, staring motionlessly at the closed door.
In the early morning, Yang Fan's condition suddenly worsened and he could hardly breathe. The men guarding the room hurriedly called Divine Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao has been in there all morning and still hasn't come out. At first, Yang Fan could still be heard coughing, but now he can't even hear the cough.
Someone whispered: "Master Yang may... this time..."
"Hey... just say a few words less, maybe you can survive..."
Linghan's expression was no more relaxed than the others. She walked quietly to the agarwood branch and whispered, "Master, it's not an option for us to have so many people guarding us."
Agarwood did not respond to this sentence, but asked: "Is there any news about Qingchen?"
Ayana shook her head.
Xu Qingchen rushed to Taiyuan after the Battle of Luzhou, and there was no news after leaving. Now that more than half of the first month has passed, there is still no news about him in the world.
Women are always sentimental when they are pregnant, and now that Yang Fan is seriously ill and Xu Qingchen is missing, Linghan has been having a hard time these past few days.
Just when the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely depressing, someone outside the courtyard suddenly heard shouting: "Hall Master Xu is back!"
Linghan's heart was shaken, and she ran out of the courtyard regardless of the fact that she was pregnant with Liujia.
As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw...a human-like thing running over without looking back.
It was Xu Qingchen. The way he looked now was really unflattering. A good-looking young man was worse than a beggar. Clothes were dirty, torn, and unkempt.
It could be seen from his scarlet eyes that he probably hadn't slept for a long time.
Linghan ignored his attire and pounced on him quickly.
"Brother Qingchen!"
Xu Qingchen suddenly grabbed Linghan's arms, stared with bloodshot eyes, opened his chapped lips, and asked, "How is Brother Yang?"
Aya answered with tears in her eyes: "It's not good."
Xu Qingchen let go of Linghan and flew into the small courtyard.
His outfit shocked everyone present, and at the same time they couldn't help but sigh: This guy really values love and justice.
Xu Qingchen had just ran into the yard, but before he could see the people in the yard clearly, Divine Doctor Zhao had already come out of the house.
He looked at everyone, shook his head, and just sighed: "Hey..."
Agarwood, who had always been indifferent, suddenly looked at Xu Qingchen and asked loudly: "Where is the secret book?!"
Xu Qingchen reached into his arms, took out a book that was as tattered as the clothes he was wearing, and replied: "Here it is!"
Xu Qingchen grabbed the secret book and rushed into the room. The room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. Yang Fan on the bed was covered with a thick quilt and motionless.
Xu Qingchen ran to the bed, lay on the bedside, and shouted loudly: "Brother Yang! I found the secret book! Your illness can be cured!"
Yang Fan did not open his eyes.
Today's Yang Fan... looks like a dead person. That day he saw his dead master in the secret room, and Yang Fan may not be as good as his master now.
Xu Qingchen held Yang Fan's wrist tremblingly. There was still a pulse, but it was very weak.
His voice became softer: "Brother Yang, wake up."
This soft cry was much more useful than the shout just now. This time, Yang Fan finally slowly opened his eyes. It's just that his eyes are dull and his eyeballs don't even move.
"Qing... Qingchen..." Yang Fan, who was as angry as a gossamer, asked.
Xu Qingchen hurriedly came closer and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Brother Yang! It's me! I'm back! I found the secret book!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Many...thank you..."
Xu Qingchen was a little anxious and panicked. As he opened the secret book, he said: "Let's buy time. You start practicing now. As long as you practice, the disease will be cured. I will read it to you, and you will do as I say... Okay Qi is related to the purity of the sky, gathering Qi to nourish the spirit, condensing Qi to create a state of mind..."
Xu Qingchen lay beside Yang Fan's bed, reading the text on the secret book in a clear voice.
When he opened the door and came in, Chen Xiangzhi and his group also followed him. They saw Xu Qingchen lying beside the bed talking to Yang Fan, and they also watched him open the secret book in his hand and start reading aloud.
But... everyone also saw that Yang Fan did not open his eyes or respond to him. Just when Divine Doctor Zhao shook his head and sighed, Yang Fan was already dead.
Xu Qingchen had been chanting for half a stick of incense. He stopped, raised his head and asked Yang Fan: "Brother Yang, can you understand? Hahaha! That's good! That's good! Let's go to the next part, please listen. Already..."
Chen Xiangzhi wanted to step forward to stop Xu Qingchen from continuing to read, but before she could move, Linghan had already walked over quickly.
"Brother Qingchen!"
Xu Qingchen turned around and said patiently to Linghan: "Linghan, if you have any questions, we'll talk about it later. I'll read the secret book to Brother Yang first."
Ayana held back tears: "You have recited so much just now. He is now weak and cannot accept too much at once. Let him digest what you have recited first... You just came back and you are so dirty. Mr. Yang can’t touch this now. You can go back with me first.”
Xu Qingchen nodded in agreement, then turned back to Yang Fan and said, "Brother Yang, you practice these first, I'll go back and clean up, and I'll come over in the evening to read the second half to you."
Xu Qing
Chen followed Linghan out of Yang Fan's small courtyard. He didn't notice that there was another person sitting in the courtyard, Xiong San.
After Xu Qingchen left, Xiong San stood up, picked up the package on the table and entered the house.
Chen Xiangzhi looked back at Xiong San and said, "Third Hall Master, find someone... to restrain Yang Fan's appearance."
Xiong San smiled bitterly, walked to the bed and sat down: "I've been ready for a long time."
After speaking, he opened the package and took out a set of clothes and a shroud.
"He asked me to prepare it for him, and he also asked me to tell Brother Qingchen that if he didn't get to see him for the last time, don't blame yourself... Hey... Sect Master, Young Master Yang has a request. He is embarrassed to ask, so let me Let me ask you."
"Just tell me."
"He wants to be buried next to the old master."
"Okay...I'll arrange for someone to visit the tomb."
"I thank you on his behalf."
Agarwood said nothing more, leaving two people to help Xiong San and taking the others out.
Xu Qingchen was in such a hurry that he didn't even bother to wash up and dress up. He didn't even sleep in the last few days. Four horses died along the way, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, the fourth horse happened to run to death, and he accidentally fell off the horse. Ignoring the pain in my body, I almost ran all the way back to the Thorn Gate.
Linghan asked someone to boil a bucket of bath water, and Xu Qingchen had to clean up the dirt on his body.
Who would have thought that he fell asleep as soon as he sat in the bathtub. He couldn't help it, he was too sleepy.
Regardless of her pregnancy, Linghan helped Xu Qingchen clean her body. I thought he would sleep for at least a few hours, but when Linghan still had a headache and how to get him out of the bathtub, Xu Qingchen woke up with a clever idea.
Realizing that he was still in the bathtub, Xu Qingchen hurriedly asked: "How long have I been asleep?"
Ayana replied: "Not long, just about a quarter of an hour."
Xu Qingchen stood up from the bathtub with a sound: "It's almost done. I'm going to see Brother Yang."
Ayana hurriedly held him down: "You haven't washed yourself yet!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll take a shower at night." He said as he got out of the bathtub.
Ayahan suddenly hugged him from behind and began to cry silently.
Xu Qingchen felt Linghan's body trembling slightly, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? I know, it's my fault that you traveled far away while you were pregnant. I promise you that I will always be with you from now on." You're not going anywhere."
Ayana felt like her heart was twisting in a knife, and she struggled for a long time before finally making up her mind to speak.
"Brother Qingchen... Master Yang, he... he... he is no longer here..."
Xu Qingchen turned around suddenly with an expression of disbelief on his face: "What did you say? Impossible. I have brought back the secret book. How could he die?"
Ayana cried and said, "When you entered the house, he was already dead."
"What nonsense are you talking about? He obviously talked to me, how could he be dead?"
Linghan shook her head vigorously: "We were all here at the time, but Young Master Yang didn't talk to you."
"No... no..." Xu Qingchen was in a daze, "It's impossible, he responded to me... he's still alive..."
He wanted to take two steps back, but he forgot that he was in the bathtub and fell down uncontrollably.
He kept saying to himself: "I came back late...it was too late...if only I could have been one day earlier...one day...why...why..."
Linghan hugged Xu Qingchen's neck and cried, "Brother Qingchen, I don't blame you... Mr. Yang is extremely ill and nothing can be done."
