mountains and rivers dream

"Speaking of which, I haven't had the chance to study it in depth, but I have seen that little girl's skills. I think the person who created the green flame on her forehead must be a very important person in her life..."

"Maybe it's parents, maybe brothers and sisters, maybe it's a lover..."

Bai Jingyi's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to be very interested in the Heart-Eating Gu.

But with a crisp sound, the expressions on Xiao Yu and Qin Lin's faces, who had just finished setting the bones, became more solemn.

Both of them were sweating profusely, and both looked exhausted from the long period of concentration.

Especially for Xiao Yu, after the spiritual power in her left eye was instantly withdrawn, as she stopped detecting the veins of Mei Yuer's arm, her vision went dark for a moment.

"are you OK!"

Qin Lin reacted very quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but was pushed away.

Then there was a "Humph!"

"This..." Qin Lin's hand froze there, and he didn't know whether to put it down or what to do.

"Hu Tao'er and I have learned Han Yan's spell. We say it is an illusion, but it actually hits us, just like...smoke and fire. We almost died under her spell. And... "

After Xiao Yu gently covered Mei Yu'er with a quilt, he quickly picked up the Ganoderma lucidum water and fed it to her.

"Moreover, I seemed to hear someone's voice in the blue flames on her forehead, like crying or roaring. In short, it sounded very miserable!"

Recalling the situation during the fight with Han Yan, Xiao Yu still finds it incredible, but even more frightened.

And she knew very well in her heart that Han Yan must not have used all his strength at that time, or at least showed mercy before judging whether she was an enemy or a friend.

Otherwise, with her crude and unformed swordsmanship, the outcome of the fight between the two might not be what it would be.

"Her flames were like smoke and fire, but they were always trying to invade my spiritual sea. Looking back now, maybe the target of her sword moves and spells was never me, but me. Maybe it's my life force." Xiao Yu recalled it carefully and speculated.

But the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

Bai Jingyi listened thoughtfully, but Qin Lin looked very sad.

He was lost in thought, and it seemed to Xiao Yu that he was thinking about something. But after a moment, his eyes suddenly showed an even sadder emotion.

Xiao Yu held his breath and had some guesses in his mind: I'm afraid Qin Lin might know the owner of the voice he heard before.

If this is the case, then if a living person appears in the green flames... is he still a living person?

Bai Jingyi, who had been holding her chin up, straightened up at this time.

"Huh? Do you know something?" She squinted her eyes and asked without hesitation. Her eyes were smiling and full of expectation:
  "But based on my observation, the Gu on her body is at least ten years old. The strong-bodied girl looks like she is in her mid-twenties! The heart-eating Gu needs to be transplanted into the host at a young age. Period, but I’ve only seen you Yuancheng for a year or two... Tsk! It’s so hard to guess, I’m too lazy to waste time, you’d better tell me quickly, after all, we have business to do later..."

"A Lin, isn't she the one you have been chasing to marry someone's eldest cousin since you were a child? You don't know anything about her... Ah Lin——"

With Mei Yuer's arm busy on hand, Xiao Yu felt depressed and panicked.

In her hand, she was holding the spare fruit potion that Jixing had given her before leaving. After getting Bai Jingyi's acquiescence, she was carefully wiping Mei Yuer's injury, but she grabbed the medicine bottle in her left hand. A creaking sound.

He looked at Qin Lin "accidentally" and "waited patiently" for what he would say next.

Qin Lin's heart was as chaotic as a ball of thread, and he felt a trace of "murderous intent" from Xiao Yu's eyes after another meal.

"Oh, is there such a thing? Oops, you young people, the story is really exciting! I, the old man, should just listen to it, haha!"

The corners of Bai Jingyi's mouth stretched to the base of her ears, which showed that she was a little happy in her heart, but the smile on her face was not very kind, it was more like watching the fun, not afraid of how big the matter was.

Qin Lin frowned, but decided to tell what he knew first: "My cousin and Yu'er grew up together. The Qin family and the Han family have a marriage contract. I have known since I was a child that I would take my cousin as my wife in the future. My wife, and Yu'er, had liked my cousin's brother since childhood. So, until I was fifteen and Yu'er was eight, the four children of our three families were still together often."

"Then - after the age of fifteen -?" Bai Jingyi's words dragged out for a long time, like fingernails scratching a sharp sword, which made Qin Lin very uncomfortable.

He glanced at Xiao Yu. Although she seemed to be busy bandaging Mei Yuer's arms, her cheeks and eyes that turned sideways from time to time could not escape his eyes.

Although he knew that Xiao Yumuxia should have a lot of unhappiness in his heart, and he also knew that there were a few things that he might not be able to get over easily today, but knowing that she cared, Qin Lin was still a little happy in his heart.

"When I was fifteen years old, my cousin was sixteen. I was still young at that time, and I only knew a little bit about spiritual practice. I only remember that the last time I saw my cousin was on her and my cousin's birthday. After that day, The Han family announced to the public that my cousin was seriously ill, and they refused to allow Yu'er and I to visit."

"I tried my best to find out the information. When I was young, I used to take Yu'er to secretly climb walls at night, crawl through windows and so on, but I was caught every time. They have been sick for five years."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but turn around: "Five years?"

The question came out of her mouth, and she realized that she hadn't been able to hold it back.

"Ahem, I'm just curious about what kind of disease can last for five years. I don't mean anything else." She tried to hide it.

But when she turned around, she realized that the gauze on Mei Yuer's arm was messy. It was because she was too distracted.

Qin Lin curled his lips and smiled, not daring to give birth. He just walked past silently and took the gauze and scissors from Xiao Yu's hand.

He tilted his cheek and his eyes met Xiao Yudong's evasive eyes. There was a lot of tenderness in his eyes, and even more of joy.

He did not give Xiao Yu a chance to cover up again, but continued to talk while looking into Xiao Yu's eyes while unwrapping the gauze that Xiao Yu tied up like a rice dumpling.

"Five years later, when we saw my cousin again, it was at his funeral. My father only told us that he was seriously ill and died. He didn't say anything else. But, under the witness of my father and Uncle Han's family, My cousin and I broke off our engagement, and Yu'er's marriage had to be abandoned due to the death of her cousin..."
