"Misty Cloud Sect..."

Upon returning to the foot of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, Chu Qianqiu furrowed his brows.

It turned out that Bai Lu's mother had been captured by the people of the Misty Cloud Sect.

And at the mention of the name Misty Cloud Sect, he couldn't help but think of a figure dressed in black, dancing in a black dress, a woman who was heartless and indifferent.

She must be thriving in this major sect now, right?

"Sigh, I shouldn't think about her. It's all in the past."

Looking around, Chu Qianqiu surveyed the surrounding scenery and found that the place where Bai Lu had brought him was indeed safe and close to the main road.

He had an impression of this place and remembered that his horse was tied to a certain tree.

So, with a whistle, a horse neighed in response.

He quickly found his horse, mounted it, and as he prepared to leave, he turned back to take one last look at the vast Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range and recalled something.

"Oh right, I wonder if Liu Ruoyan, the daughter of the Lake Sword Sect's sect master, is still in this mountain range."

"I almost forgot about her."

Thinking of the ethereal fairy Liu Ruoyan, who had almost killed him unintentionally, Chu Qianqiu felt that his encounter with her was like a dream.

It wasn't until he saw a golden storage ring in his hand, adorned with a flower-shaped wreath, that he sadly realized that this was not his dream, but everything that had actually happened.

"Damn it! I returned the treasure sword she gave me back to her, and she just took it like that. My precious!"

"Never mind, she's probably already returned to her sect. She would never have thought that I, who was captured by Bai Lu, could come out alive. She probably found a place to bury me; maybe she'll be kind enough to put my name on the tombstone and even place a few roses or burn some incense."

"We were just a dream after all."

"No, I'm still alive. What dream?"

"When I have the chance, I must go to the Lake Sword Sect and get my sword back!"

"I just wonder if she'll be surprised when she sees me..."

Riding his horse at full speed, Chu Qianqiu's mind was filled with thoughts of what had happened in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

He realized that he was actually quite fortunate, apart from being a bit unlucky. The rest of his luck was all about encountering beautiful women.

But speaking of bad luck, he thought of another person, that Qiao Fairy, Qiao Xiaoxiao.

Could it be that the bad luck buff she left on him back then was still in effect, causing him to encounter several Gold Core realm experts and even a snake that could easily kill a Gold Core realm expert while collecting herbs in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?

If it weren't for the connection between the snake and the demonic pill he was wearing, he would have to be reincarnated.

"Damn it, I must teach that Qiao Xiaoxiao a lesson when I have the chance!"

"...But I'm also a bit wary of her bad luck, so annoying."

...

Time passed quickly.

After three days, Chu Qianqiu successfully returned to Moon Phoenix City and returned to his long-awaited home.

As soon as he arrived home, Gu Qingxue rushed forward and hugged him, crying with tears streaming down her face, becoming a tearful person.

Seeing that her husband had been away for so long in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, naturally, she was anxious and worried. She had also kept the truth hidden in her heart after lying to her parents, which had exhausted her mentally and physically.

Originally, they had agreed that it would take about six days to reach and return from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and collecting herbs would only take about a day, so her husband should have returned within seven days.

But more than ten days had passed, and she had not received any news of her husband's return, so she had even considered going to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range alone, vowing to bring her husband back at all costs.

But when she thought about her daughter who was still unaware, her parents who were still unaware, and the promise they had made, she chose to believe and waited until today.

"What happened to you? Why did you take so long? Are you injured?"

"Uh, no."

"Xue'er, a lot has happened during this time. I can't explain it all right now. I'll tell you slowly tonight..."

The couple had a strong understanding and would discuss things in more discreet places.

After complaining about her husband for a while, Gu Qingxue told him about what had been happening at home recently.

Firstly, nothing major had happened at home in the past ten days or so. Everything was as usual.

The business at Bai Yi Fang was getting better and better, perhaps because of Qing Lian's introduction. More and more patients were coming to them to buy medicine.

And Qing Lian herself had been visiting the Chu family frequently during these days.

Gu Qingxue often received her and treated her with great kindness. During their conversations, Qing Lian learned about the true identity of her "sister."

Upon learning this, Qing Lian seemed a little disappointed because she had come these days to find Chu Qianqiu.

She didn't expect that Qianqiu had already married and his wife was even more beautiful and virtuous than her.

Gu Qingxue could see Qing Lian's thoughts and, being understanding and graceful, gradually helped her open up. The two quickly became like sisters, chatting about everything.

"That girl Qing Lian often comes here to see you and cares about you."

"She really wants to meet you and tell you about her grandfather's improved condition. But I didn't tell her where you went. I just used the excuse you gave me to relay the message. So she has been waiting for you to come back."

"Perhaps by this time tomorrow, she will come to our house again, just like me, eagerly awaiting your return."

With a gentle smile, Gu Qingxue's expression at this moment was like Qing Lian's real sister, showing no signs of being an outsider.

Chu Qianqiu was dumbfounded after hearing this. He thought things were developing too smoothly. How did these two women seem like they had known each other for twenty years?

Well, it was good.

In this way, he could finally fulfill his wish of marrying Qing Lian into the Chu family. The current relationship between the two women was truly advantageous for him.

"Is that so? Then I'll make tea and wait for her tomorrow."

"Xue'er, you've worked hard these days."

He hugged his delicate wife's fragile body, kissed her lips, and Chu Qianqiu planned to go back to the room to rest.

However, Xue'er's expression became somewhat melancholic, as if she had something to say but didn't know if she should speak up.

"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Chu Qianqiu quickly noticed and, as her husband, couldn't overlook the change in his beloved wife's mood.

"Husband, during the days you were away, I managed everything at home in an orderly manner. But I discovered something strange outside."

"One time, when I went out to buy something, I always felt like someone was following me."

"During your absence, I also broke through to the Foundation Building stage, so my sensitivity has improved a lot. I shouldn't be mistaken."

"Those people were dressed in black and had a mysterious appearance, so I could recognize them at a glance."

"Do you think... they are the remnants of the bandits we killed back then?"

After telling her husband about the strangest things that had happened recently, Gu Qingxue buried herself in his embrace, afraid of the forces she had gotten involved with.

Chu Qianqiu, who had encountered many things, quickly found an answer in his heart upon hearing this news. He thought of the most likely possibility.

"They should be from the White Night Society."
