Three years later!

It was another warm spring in which pear blossoms bloomed. The pear blossoms on the trees were like drifting snow. The overwhelming whiteness was like every spring, unreservedly releasing a pleasant fragrance.

Nothing had changed here, even the clothes on the girl's body were as white as always, like a fairy descending to the mortal world and floating in the endless sea of flowers.

She was the White Xue Fu who was sent to guard the Pear Blossom Array, the daughter of Ning City.

A life as tranquil as water once caused a ripple when a youth barged in. After the youth left, he would occasionally think of that small episode when the pear blossom bloomed. His heart felt like it was being pierced by needles. There was no wound, but a dull ache remained.

As a mortal, she didn't dare to hope that youth would come back to find her. It was just that when he turned around and left that year, he decided to tell her the truth. He said... One year. Give him one year.

In the blink of an eye, it was already three spring and autumn. The pear blossom was still beautiful, but that cold and handsome youth that could make the sea of flowers lose its luster never appeared before her again.

Perhaps, it was as his master had said, a man's promise could not be trusted, could not be listened to.

Xue Fu was not saddened by the youth's promise, but was just slightly moved. She thought of her own mother, staying in the side courtyard of the Prime Minister's Estate and staying in the cold courtyard to clear the windows. Day after day, year after year.

While he was deep in thought, a gust of wind blew by behind him, bringing with it the faint fragrance of pear blossoms. Soon after, a purple figure flashed in front of him and lightly landed on the ground like a swallow.

Xue Fu was naturally shocked, when she clearly saw who it was, her face turned serious as she scolded: "Stupid girl, you're scaring people like that again, be careful that I don't tell my master."

"Oh, miss, this is bad." Usually, Liu Li would give her a naughty wink, but she did have something important to do today. Not allowing her to be naughty, her little face turned red from anxiety.

Xue Fu's heart stopped, and he instinctively asked: "What is it?" Just from Liu Li's expression, one could tell that something had happened. Her heart couldn't help but tighten with her expression. Her eyes were like autumn water, filled with worry.

Liu Li swallowed her saliva, stroked her hair, and hurriedly said: "Miss, it's said that Master forced her to enter the palace to participate in the talent competition. Eldest Miss, in addition to being heartbroken, destroyed her own appearance, it's really tragic!"

Xue Fu gasped, staring at Liu Li who was equally anxious, staring blankly for a long while before finally recovering. Suddenly, he turned and ran into the sea of flowers, leaving behind only a single order: "I want to go home!"

"Sigh …" Miss, wait for me! " Liu Li was in hot pursuit. She had been with Yu Zhen for 11 years and had learned all the martial arts she could. Even though it could not be said to be superb, she could still be considered strong. At this moment, running and chasing after the sea of flowers caused waves of wind to swirl around them. The butterfly-like pear petals floated up and fell to the ground.

With the wind whooshing past her ears, Xue Fu rushed forward with all her concentration. A few petals floated onto her small, white face, blurring her line of sight. However, she had no time to worry about it. She only wanted to fly home immediately.

The eldest daughter of the Bai Family, Bai Yining, was born to the eldest wife of the Bai Family and was born with a gentle personality. He was also the only person in the Bai Clan other than his mother that treated him well. The two sisters had always been on good terms with each other. Today, when she heard that something had happened to Bai Yining, she was naturally worried, and wanted to return home to visit her.

Bai Yining's childhood friend, Chen Feng, had always been on good terms with her. Now that she was being asked to participate in the palace selection, she could no longer accept it. It was just that the self-destruction of one's appearance was a bit too extreme. With such a beautiful appearance destroyed, how would one face the world in the future?

Xue Fu didn't have time to speak with True Master Yu, so he pulled the white horse tied to the pear tree and jumped onto it. Teng Prefecture was two hundred Li away from the Ning City. Even if they took a shortcut, it would still be more than two hundred Li away. The mountain road was steep during this period, making the journey difficult. Fortunately, Xue Fu and Liu Li were both proficient in martial arts and were able to endure the bumpy journey.

The sun was already setting when he returned to the Bai family, exhausted from the journey. The last time he had come back was two years ago, in the early spring, when the magnolia orchids had just been planted on Bai Lu's sides. At this moment, the leaves of the Jade Magnolia Flower were lush and white.

The rich fragrance of the Jade Magnolia Flower assaulted his nostrils. Xue Fu, who was used to smelling the fragrance of the Pear Blossom, found it hard to adapt to the thick fragrance of the Jade Magnolia Flower.

Above the large and imposing door, red-painted pillars, the dancing words "Bai Chong" glowed gold under the light of the setting sun. It was a successful display of Bai Chong's illustrious position within the Ning City, causing people to feel intimidated upon seeing it.

Standing in front of this unfamiliar yet familiar enormous deity, Xue Fu had a split-second of flash, as if he was just a passing beggar. He eagerly looked forward to the owner's throwing some leftover steamed buns, but was afraid that the guards would swing the sticks beside him and brutally beat him up. At this moment, she was afraid of strangers.

"Second Miss." Suddenly, the indifferent voice of the guard sounded in front of him. Xue Fu regained his senses and looked at the guard with red lips and white teeth. He was at a loss. These days, even a gatekeeper could not even put him in his eyes. Indeed, he was looking down on people with his dog eyes!

"How dare you!" Liu Li immediately ran to Xue Fu's side and scolded the guard who did not seem to care at all: "Second Miss, return to your side, why aren't you quickly opening the door?"

The guard lowered his head slightly, but raised his eyelids and shot a glance at Xue Fu quickly, then said: "The First Madam has orders, without the First Master's permission, the Second Miss cannot return without permission."

"Alright, I'd like to see if this order was given by the first lady or the first lady." Xue Fu laughed coldly, pushed him to the side with a swing of her hand, and pulled up her skirt that was too long, as she headed towards the big red wooden door. All these years, she had volunteered to stay at Miaofeng Temple, so she had never bothered with these servants. He would not be so weak and be bullied if he dared to stand in her way so rudely.

The guard was surprised and anxious, but it was already too late. The snow-white skirt flashed inside the reddish-painted wood, following that the door was closed, and Xue Fu's figure could no longer be seen. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to catch up with her. Since he couldn't stop her, he could only take the initiative to apologize to the First Wife.

As soon as he entered the residence, Xue Fu, who was in a hurry, went straight to Yi Ning's room. When he stepped into the courtyard, he was shocked by the bustling scene inside. With a gloomy face, the prime minister held his hands behind his back under a peach blossom tree that was full of branches. Madame Bai was beside him wiping her tears, murmuring, "It's all my fault. I didn't teach this unfilial girl well."

The Prime Minister gave a cold humph and shifted his body angrily. An angry gaze coincidentally fell on Xue Fu's body, and faintly flashed past his eyes in astonishment. He naturally did not expect to see these two women at this moment. Xue Fu bowed respectfully after hesitating for a moment. "Greetings, father and wife."

"Why did you come back? Do you feel like this house is not repentant enough? " The first lady's eyes turned cold as she took a step forward and glared at her. It was as if Xue Fu really had something to regret over.

Xue Fu was not in the mood to argue with her, he raised his head and looked at the young lord, begging him: "Daddy, can you allow me to meet big sister?"

"You just have to go and see her. She won't be my long-lived daughter from tomorrow onwards." The Prime Minister gave a loud snort. His expression was cold and resolute. In the quiet courtyard, only Madam Wen's sobs could be heard.

On the other hand, the third miss of the Bai Family, Bai Yuqi, tried to curry favor with them, "Father, even though Big Sister's looks are ruined, the Bai Family still has a daughter, why must they be angry?"

The Lord Prime Minister raised his eyebrows, his sharp eyes landing on Xue Fu's body, as though he was silently deciding on something. With just one look, Xue Fu became afraid. He quickly got up and walked into the house, trying to avoid the gaze of the calculation.

If the young master insisted that she replace Yi Ning, she would not be able to resist him. There were plenty of girls from the Bai Family, and all of them were as beautiful as flowers. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to pick her out? Xue Fu secretly thought in his heart. At this time, the cabinet had already arrived. There was only a maid standing by the bedside, weeping. The surroundings were filled with the smell of medicine. It was cold, desolate, and disconsolate.

When she heard the footsteps, the servant girl raised her head. Seeing that Xue Fu was as surprised as everyone else in the Bai Clan was when they first saw him, she immediately bowed in joy and said with hope: "It's good that Second Miss is back. Quickly advise Eldest Miss.

After Xue Fu heard her words, his eyes swept across the already cold medicine bowl on the table. Inside the tent, Bai Yining had his back facing her as he closed his eyes and dozed off. That thin body was so thin, so pitiful.

"Elder sister …" Xue Fu gently called out to her back, her small hands caressing her veil, but Bai Yining seemed to have been pricked with needles, she pulled away her veil and said with an almost pleading tone of voice: "Don't look, don't..."

"Sis, how can you be so stupid?" Xue Fu reproached in heartache. He still remembered that the only sister who was kind to him was always smiling warmly at him. That smile was so beautiful that it could topple empires. But now, with her devastatingly beautiful countenance, how could she not feel heartache?

"If I can't be on the same level as Chen Feng, I would rather die." Bai Yining slowly turned around. Under her veil, her dark eyes were extremely cold. It was due to her attachment to her feelings. The love she had carefully protected for the past few years had been crippled. She could only use this method to show her loyalty to her love. Although it was silly, it was still worth it!

Xue Fu couldn't understand, perhaps it was because she had been accompanied by Qinglian every night, so her understanding of love between mortal matters was too shallow. But she could feel Bai Yining's pain, it must be heart-wrenching pain!

She didn't know what else she could say. Maybe it was all useless, when a person's heart was dead. It was as if his entire body had been hollowed out. It was clearly empty, yet nothing could be piled up inside.

Walking out of Bai Yining's floor, Xue Fu decided to visit his mother in the side courtyard. After not seeing her for a long time, he naturally missed her in his heart.
