I made the villain right.

As for Shi Jin, they rode at high speed for three days and finally arrived at Fengming Mountain.

After a few days of rest, Shi Jin's complexion gradually recovered and he looked much more energetic.

The morning light is dim and the fog is thick. In the distance, clouds gently caress the mountain peaks and birds linger around. Up close, you can see green pines and cypresses, shaded by vines, and a myriad of colorful flowers blooming, which is refreshing.

Going deep into the green mountains and passing through the tree-lined paths, you can hear the ethereal and crisp singing of birds. In the morning light, the emerald green on the branches shimmers, as if you have entered a dream.

Occasionally, the wind blows by, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and soil.

After entering the forest, Shi Jin was a little excited. He couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look at the scenery outside the window with a smile on his face.

She was looking at the scenery, and Fanhua was looking at her.

"Gu'er, is this Fengming Mountain?" Shi Jin couldn't help but ask.

Xu Ruogu looked at the long-missed mountain scenery and felt like he was back home, which made him happy. When he thought that he would see his grandfather soon, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Xu Ruogu said happily: "Sister Jin, this is Fengming Mountain. If we go over that mountain, we will reach Grandpa's residence."

Shi Jin looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and said with emotion: "No wonder Grandpa Xu doesn't want to leave the mountain. The mountains and rivers here are picturesque, far away from the hustle and bustle, and not disturbed by the world. It's pretty good."

"If Sister Jin likes it, you can stay here for a few more days."

Shi Jin smiled and said, "Okay."

Fan Hua looked at the mountains outside the window and couldn't help frowning, with a trace of worry between his brows.

Qin Yixian came well prepared. In this battle, Fengyun Pavilion was facing a severe situation. He was thinking about Fengyun Pavilion in his heart, so he sent the letter while on the way.

Fengming Mountain and Fengyun Pavilion are relatively close, and can be reached in half a day by riding a fast horse. He planned to send Shi Jin to Fengming Mountain to detoxify, and then return to Fengyun Pavilion overnight.

After seeing Fan Hua's expression, Shi Jin silently held his hand, interlocking their fingers and palms together. She could clearly feel the warmth coming from his hand.

She knew very well what happened that day. He chose her over Fengyun Pavilion. He was the head of the pavilion, and the responsibility he shouldered was not only for himself, but for the entire Fengyun Pavilion. He must have been tormented in his heart when he made such a decision.

He acted very calm along the way, as if he had forgotten about the matter, and stayed with her all the time, but she knew that he was always concerned about the safety of Fengyun Pavilion.

She snuggled in his arms, as if to comfort him, and then called softly: "Ayu"

The call is full of affection.

Fan Hua put his arm around her shoulders, stroking them gently, caressing her and leaning against her.

"Yeah, I'm here," he responded in a low voice, his voice was clean and gentle, like a feather gently brushing against the heart, making people feel itchy.

The air froze for a moment.

Zhilu's eyes were wandering and he felt that he couldn't stand it in his heart.

The couple in the passionate love period are very affectionate and want to be together everywhere, like conjoined twins.

Faced with this scene, Zhilu felt that one day when she became thicker-skinned, people would slowly get used to it.

When Zhilu saw their situation, he quickly found an excuse to leave: "I think the scenery outside is pretty good. I'll go out and take a look. The view there is better."

Then he quickly rushed to the front of the car to accompany Xu Ruogu.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at his face carefully. After a moment, she suddenly kissed the corner of his lips, like a dragonfly touching the water.

Feeling the warm touch, Fan Hua was slightly stunned, and there seemed to be a breath flowing through his body, making him feel tingling and numb.

Fan Hua smiled lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "You are taking advantage of me, I have to return it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned in to kiss her, his warm breath on her face making her heart skip a beat and her face flush with heat.

He pried open her teeth and kissed her gently, their lips and teeth touching, exchanging each other's breath.

His kiss is as gentle as a spring and a spring breeze, reaching deep into one's soul.

She closed her eyes in response, hugged his neck, and returned his kiss.

They kissed passionately, and she could clearly feel his breathing becoming more and more rapid, and her heart beating wildly.

After a moment, he reluctantly let her go, lust in his eyes.

She snuggled in his arms, breathing heavily, her eyes hazy, as if she had been washed by a spring, feeling moisturized and clear.

After a moment, Shi Jin stared at him and said slowly: "Ah Yu, I'm fine now. Please send me to Grandpa Xu later. You can go back to Fengyun Pavilion. You are needed there."

The voice was muffled, as if reluctant to let him leave.

Hearing this, Fan Hua was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She knew what he was thinking, but she had been holding it in for a long time before she spoke.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Shi Jin sigh.

Then she whispered, "Although I don't want you to leave me, I can't. You are not only my husband, but also the head of Fengyun Pavilion. I don't want others to call me a beauty, and I don't want others to say bad things about you because of this matter."

Fan Hua's eyes were full of affection. He gently touched her head, then hugged her and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I have to pick the extremely cold Ganoderma before I leave."

He had to make sure she used the Extreme Cold Ganoderma before he could leave with peace of mind.

After traveling for several miles, the carriage finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

Xu Ruogu jumped off the carriage first, and Zhilu followed him.

Xu Ruogu looked at his familiar environment, feeling a sense of joy after returning home after a long absence, and said happily: "Sister Jin, we are here"

Fan Hua helped Shi Jin get off the carriage and she looked around curiously.

The courtyard is located under a bamboo forest. The environment is quiet and elegant, with a sense of indifferent and leisurely charm. Looking around, you can see all kinds of exotic flowers and plants planted around the courtyard.

They walked through the quiet cobblestone road, Xu Ruogu and Zhilu walked in front, Shi Jin and Fan Hua walked behind, side by side.

She is dressed in red and he is dressed in blue. The red and blue figures are beautiful and ethereal, like a fairy couple, adding a touch of brightness to this quiet scene.

Suddenly the wind came, caressing everyone's faces and lifting their flowing black hair, just like naughty children.

The bamboo leaves around were swaying and fluttering. A few bamboo leaves fell down, and one of them floated in the air and landed right on Shi Jin's head.

Fan Hua's eyes had been following her, and seeing this he reached out and took it for her. When Shi Jin was wondering what he was going to do, she saw him put a bamboo leaf on the palm of her hand.

When Shi Jin saw the bamboo leaves, she smiled faintly, her smile looming in the air, just like the warm spring breeze, gentle and comfortable.

That smile seemed to pierce into his heart. He looked at her steadily, eyes full of doting and a faint smile on his face.

In a flash, Shi Jin gently blew away the bamboo leaves in her hand, then stretched out her hand and winked, indicating that he should hold her hand. Fan Hua understood immediately, suddenly took her hand and continued walking forward.

They pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and went straight in. As soon as they entered the door, Xu Ruogu couldn't help but call out, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

But the house was silent and no one responded.

and many more……

Fan Hua seemed to smell something unusual, and he quickly glanced at the situation outside the house.

The flowers and plants planted in front of the yard showed signs of being trampled on.

The basket of herbs drying in the yard was knocked over.

Seeing this, his expression suddenly changed, with a look of alertness in his eyes, and he whispered: "It seems someone has been here."

Shi Jin's brows sank and he instantly became alert. Zhi Lu was afraid and subconsciously moved closer to Shi Jin.

Xu Ruogu's face changed when he heard this. He was worried about Old Xu and ran into the house without caring about the danger. He muttered, "Grandpa" with worry in his eyes.

Shi Jin and the others also hurriedly chased after him. As soon as they ran into the house, they heard Xu Ruogu's crying voice: "Grandpa, don't scare me, wake up!"

They ran in the direction of the sound and saw a scene that shocked them.

Xu Ruogu held Old Xu, whose chest was bleeding profusely, his face covered with tears. Shi Jin walked over worriedly, looking at the unconscious Old Xu with a sad face, feeling helpless.

Who was so cruel to kill Mr. Xu?

At this time, Mr. Xu seemed to hear Xu Ruogu's crying. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Ruogu crying, his eyes full of heartache.

When Xu Ruogu saw that Old Xu had woken up, he suddenly stopped crying and said, "Grandpa, you're awake."

He suddenly calmed down and said, "You are bleeding a lot. Let me bandage your wound to stop the bleeding first."

He was about to put Old Xu down and get up to get the medicine, but Old Xu stopped him, "Don't bother, my heart and lungs have been pierced by a sharp blade, there is no medicine to cure it"

Hearing this, Xu Ruogu's hands suddenly trembled. He hugged Old Xu tightly. Facing the imminent departure of his loved one, he felt fearful and sad.

Old Xu reached out to wipe the tears from his face and said weakly, "Gu'er, keep the medical book I gave you. Those people are here for that book."

Shi Jin asked angrily, "Grandpa Xu, who hurt you?"

"I don't know either, but I saw snake patterns engraved on their knife handles," Old Xu replied while looking at Shi Jin.

Then he covered Shi Jin's hand and begged, "Jin girl, I'll leave Gu'er to you from now on."

Shi Jin's eyes turned red and he choked up, "Okay, I'll take good care of Gu'er, don't worry"

After hearing Shi Jin's promise, Mr. Xu seemed relieved and slowly closed his eyes.

Shi Jin saw Old Xu's hand slipping from hers, her heart tightened, and a crystal teardrop slid down from the corner of her eye.

Fan Hua watched all this with a frown on his face. He hugged her tightly. She buried her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling, and cried silently. At this moment, the hug he gave her was worth a thousand words.

Zhilu also cried sadly. She squatted down and comforted Xu Ruogu, saying, "Gu'er, I'm sorry for your loss. Although Mr. Xu has passed away, he must have hoped to see you happy."

Xu Ruogu turned a deaf ear to Zhilu's words. His eyes were as empty as a pool of stagnant water. He hugged Old Xu's body tightly and refused to let go, as if blocking the people around him.

After a while, Shi Jin stopped crying and came out of Fan Hua's arms. She looked at Xu Ruogu who was in despair, her eyes full of sadness and pity.

After a few seconds of silence, she said to Zhilu, "Zhilu, he still needs some time, let's leave him alone." Then they went out.

"Okay." Zhilu glanced at Xu Ruogu before slowly walking out, worried about leaving him alone.

After they came out of the house, there was only one person and one corpse left in the house. The young man was hugging the corpse, his face pale and in a trance.

A sentence kept flashing in his mind: Grandpa is gone, and he no longer has a home.

The silent house was filled with sadness.

outside the house.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua sat on the wooden board in front of the door, sitting quietly and silently.

"Ah Yu, have you ever seen someone with a snake pattern engraved on the handle of a knife in the martial arts world?" Shi Jin suddenly asked.

“Never seen it”

Shi Jin thought of Xu Ruogu's sad look and said worriedly, "Grandpa Xu passed away suddenly. Gu'er was hit hard. It may be difficult for him to get over it."

Fan Hua looked into the distance with a deep gaze, and there seemed to be a story in his eyes.

He deeply understood the pain of losing a loved one. When he was eight years old, his father, who raised him, passed away due to illness. That day he felt as if the sky had fallen in and he felt he had lost hope in living. He didn't know where to go.

He didn't eat or drink for two days, but thinking of his father's last words, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Xu Ruogu now is just like he was back then, with no hope of living.

Fan Hua pondered and said, "Xu Ruogu seems to have lost his soul now, and there is no hope in his eyes."

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "I can't see any hope."

Seeing Shi Jin's worried look, Fan Hua said, "Don't worry too much. Xu Ruogu is more stable than his peers. He will get through it."

Shi Jin sighed, "I hope so."

Shi Jin suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said worriedly: "Those people came for Grandpa Xu's medical book. The medical book is now with Gu'er, so will their next target be Gu'er?"

"Don't think too much. They may not even know that the medical book is with Xu Ruogu. Even if they guessed that the medical book is with Xu Ruogu, they don't know Xu Ruogu's whereabouts. He is not in any danger at the moment," Fan Hua comforted her.

Jin's eyebrows turned cold, and a layer of hostility appeared in his eyes. He said coldly: "I will always be with him. If those people dare to come and rob him, I will make sure they never return."

She originally thought she was very happy to be here, but unexpectedly something heartbreaking happened.
