The second uncle frowned and nodded, "Of course I remember. You said that thing happened so many years ago, what else is there to say?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head. "No, it's not over yet. I left because... because of a family secret. I can't go into details here, but now, the secret is no longer safe. I'm worried that the secret will bring more trouble."

Huaihua held Lou Xiao'e's hand, her eyes full of concern, "Xiao'e, don't worry, we will help you. As long as our family is together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Huaihua gratefully and said, "Thank you, Sister Huaihua. I know you will help me. But this matter may be much more complicated than we imagined."

On the other side of the courtyard, Yang Limin and Dongfang Bubai continued their training. Yang Limin felt the strength in his body growing, but he also understood that this was just the beginning. Dongfang Bubai's eyes were full of encouragement and determination, "Yang Limin, you have made a lot of progress, but we still have a long way to go."

Yang Limin nodded, "I know. I will work harder and live up to your expectations."

Dongfang Bubai gently patted Yang Limin on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you. Let's face the challenges of the future together, no matter how difficult they are."

As the sky gradually darkened, the courtyard gradually became quiet. Yang Limin sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, his thoughts were in a mess. Lou Xiao'e's sudden return made him have many questions in his mind. He didn't understand what the secret she was talking about was, but he knew that this secret was likely to affect their lives.

Dongfang Bubai came over, sat next to Yang Limin, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Yang Limin sighed, "I was thinking about the secret that Lou Xiao'e mentioned. I don't know why, but I always feel that this matter is not simple."

Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly, "Yes, her expression and tone show it. But no matter what the secret is, we will face it together. You have to remember that we are a team."

Yang Limin looked at Dongfang Bubai with gratitude, "Thank you. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I am not afraid as long as you are by my side."

Dongfang Bubai smiled and held Yang Limin's hand, "Let's work together and face everything."

As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyard gradually went out, leaving only a few sparrows chirping in the trees. Yang Limin and Dongfang Bubai returned to the house, their hearts filled with expectations and worries about the future. They knew that no matter how difficult the future would be, they would face it together and move forward together.

Life in the courtyard continues, and the story of Yang Limin and Dongfang Bubai continues to unfold. Every day, they are facing new challenges and experiencing new adventures. And the night in the courtyard remains the same, peaceful and beautiful, as if silently guarding their happiness and hope.

Yang Limin hasn't been here for a long time.

Xu Damao and Yang Limin haven't been back to the courtyard for a long time. He is busy with various affairs outside. Although he is thinking about Dongfang Bubai and his family at home all the time, the pressure of life and the busy work force him to leave temporarily. Whenever it is late at night, he sits alone under the light of the office, and always thinks of the warmth and tranquility in the courtyard.

On this day, Yang Limin finally found time and decided to return to the courtyard. When he pushed open the familiar door, he felt a strong sense of belonging, as if a child who had been away for a long time had finally returned to his mother's arms. He saw that the old locust tree in the courtyard was still lush and green, and a few sparrows were happily jumping on the branches, as if welcoming his return.

Everything in the yard didn't seem to have changed much, but Yang Limin knew that a lot had happened during this time. Dongfang Bubai appeared in his sight. She was trimming flowers and plants with her head down. The sun shone through the leaves on her body, giving her a golden glow. Yang Limin felt warm in his heart. He walked over quickly and whispered, "Dongfang, I'm back."

Dongfang Bubai raised his head and saw Yang Limin, with a hint of surprise and tenderness on his face, "You are finally back. I thought you were so busy that you forgot about us."

Yang Limin smiled and said, "How could that be? I have been thinking about you guys, but I have too many things to do and I have not been able to find the time to come back."

Dongfang Bubai put down the scissors in his hand, walked to Yang Limin, and patted his shoulder gently, "I know you are busy, but you should also pay attention to rest. We are at home, you don't have to worry too much."

Yang Limin nodded and held her hand. "I know. I feel relieved to have you here. Has anything happened recently?"

Dongfang Bubai was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words. "Actually, there are some things we haven't had time to tell you. After Lou Xiao'e came back that day, she talked a lot with Second Master and Huaihua. It seemed to be about family secrets. She said she was in trouble and needed our help."

Yang Limin frowned slightly, "Family secret? What kind of trouble did she encounter?"

Dongfang Bubai sighed softly, "She didn't tell me the specific details, but I can tell that she is very worried. We have been trying our best to help her, but things don't seem to be simple."

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e came out of the wing room. Seeing Yang Limin, a complicated expression appeared on her face. "Yang Limin, you're back."

Yang Limin nodded. "Yes, Sister Xiao'e, I heard that you were in trouble. Can you tell me more about it?"

Lou Xiao'e walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, her eyes flickering. "Actually, I don't know how to say it. I left the courtyard because there was a secret in my family. This secret concerns the safety of many people. Now, someone has discovered this secret, and they are threatening me and forcing me to hand over something."

Yang Limin was startled. "What is that?"

Lou Xiao'e bit her lip, as if she was making a difficult decision. "It's an ancient heirloom, and legend has it that it has mysterious powers. Those people think I know where it is, but I actually don't know at all."

A trace of doubt flashed across Dongfang Bubai's eyes, "Then why are they targeting you?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because I've been away from the family for too long, so I don't understand a lot of things."

Yang Limin pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought that this matter might not just be a family secret, but involve a wider conspiracy?"

Lou Xiao'e's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"

Yang Limin nodded. "Since these people were able to find you, it means they have a wide range of information sources. We must be careful and not trust anyone easily."

Dongfang Bubai nodded in agreement, "Yes, we need more information to make a correct judgment."
