Under the morning light of the Third Grandma, Shen Xixi stood in front of the carriage wearing a light green skirt, her slender body swaying like catkins in the wind.

"What silly words did Third Grandma say, old slave..." Listening to Shen Xixi's words, Cui's mother opened her mouth to say something, looked up at Shen Xixi's gray face, and slowly closed her mouth.

"Mom, there is no need to say more. Xi'er is not blessed. I just want to see my husband for the last time." With a wry smile, Shen Xixi's eyes were watery, and she was weak and looked at the maid aside.

"That's all, Third Grandma, be careful on the road." She sighed deeply, lamenting the beauty's fate, and waved her hands to the people around her. Cui's mother stepped forward and helped Shen Xixi get into the carriage.

Shen Xixi: "Thank you mom."

After giving a salute to Cui's mother, holding her arm, Shen Xixi got into the carriage, stood up and left.

"Mom, is Third Grandma okay?" As the carriage drove away, the little maid who brought Cui's mother looked at her and asked,

"Stop talking and do your job." Cui's mother glared at her and turned around and returned to the backyard.

When she reached the door, Cui's mother stopped and turned to look at the little girl who was still standing there, "Tell Lao Zhang to prepare things in advance."

After explaining, he returned to the yard without looking back.

Little girl: "..."

In the carriage, Shen Xixi leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Master Shen, you really want to..." On the side, Shiwu slowly inserted the silver needle into Master Shen's skin, sealing his veins.

Outside the window, a few sparrows flew across the sky, leaving a few afterimages.

"I want to try..." Seeing the worry in Fifteen's eyes, Shen Xixi nodded, and then moved her eyes to Twelve riding on the horse outside the carriage.

"If it's true, how will Master Shen deal with it?" Withdrawing the silver needle, he turned to look at Master Shen who was thinking with his head down, and Fifteen hesitated to speak.

This time, Shen Xixi did not answer.

After the acupuncture, my whole body was sore and weak, and I was very tired, so I ordered Shishi to pull down the car curtain.

Since returning from the jungle, things have happened one after another, and my mind has been on edge, and I haven't had a full night's sleep.

At this moment, Shen Xixi could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

In Yuxi Temple, Fu Youxing was leaning sideways on the bed, his face gloomy.

"Third Master, my subordinates took people to the courtyard outside the city. The buildings were deserted, and there was no sign of Shen Yu." Not far away, You Ming knelt on the ground and reported the information he had found out. Report from ten places.

"Trash!" When he heard that Shen Yu had lost news again, Fu Youxing was furious and raised his hand to throw the tea cup on the side to the ground.

"Third Master, forgive me!" Seeing his master angry, Youming lowered his head.

"Where is Xiaoyaozi? Why don't you see him?" Fu Youxing said quietly as he stood up holding back his anger and remembered that he had not seen the master for several days.

Youming: "The boy said that the master has been in seclusion recently and hasn't seen anyone."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Youxing's eyes regained clarity, "Call Lou Ran!"

Youming: "Yes."

"And Third Master, I just received the letter from the house." After standing up, Youming took out the letter from his hand and handed it to Fu Youxing.

After taking the envelope, opening it, and reading the letter, Fu Youxing couldn't help but feel shocked. "Third grandma is seriously ill? When did it happen?"

"Since you left, Third Grandma has been worried day and night, and has contracted the cold. She is afraid of delaying your affairs, so she keeps it secret from you, but she doesn't want to make it worse. Now she is terminally ill, and she wants to... come up and see you. You." Hearing the blame in Fu You's lingo, Youming knelt down again and told him what Cui's mother had asked someone to bring her.

"Didn't you call a doctor? Did you take medicine? How could it be so serious? Everyone in the house is just pretending?" When he heard that he was seriously ill, Fu Youxing froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xi'er's gentle words of advice and a slight smile on her lips kept flashing through her mind when she left.

Why did he become so seriously ill in just half a month?

"Third Master, Third Grandma was not in good health to begin with. The fall into the water left the root of the disease. Now she has a new illness. Naturally..." Looking at the sad look on his master's face, Youming persuaded her in a low voice.

Thinking of what the third grandmother suffered in the house, Youming couldn't help but feel regretful.

"Where is Xi'er now?"

"Mother Cui said she would leave early this morning, so it's probably a few hours away."

"Prepare the horse."

"Third Master, aren't you...?"

"Prepare your horse!" Seeing Youming not moving, Fu Youxing's tone increased.

"Yes." After shaking his head, Youming retreated and prepared his horse.

On the mountain road, a green-covered carriage walked leisurely on the road. The driver driving the carriage raised his whip very softly to avoid surprising the nobles resting inside.

"In a bad mood?" Outside the carriage, Fifteen caught up with Twelve's horse and asked in a low voice.

"No, how is Master Shen doing?" Hearing the voice, Twelve came back to his senses and looked at the person coming.

"You're overworked, just rest for a while." They didn't follow him on this trip, but through observation, Fifteen could infer.

Master Shen must have suffered a lot this time.

Not only did he suffer internal injuries, but there were also traces of sword wounds on his arms.

But...he raised his head and glanced at Twelve beside him.

Regarding Master Shen's concealment of Twelve's injuries, Fifteen couldn't help but be confused.

"Why are you always distracted recently?" Seeing Twelve being silent again, Fifteen couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? Is there anything? It's just... I'm too tired. It's okay. Just watch your surroundings." Pretending to be innocent and smiling, Twelve did not answer, but raised his hand to push Fifteen.

"I hope so." After taking a deep look at Twelve, Fifteen shook his head and muttered to himself.

Twelve, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't hear Fifteen's words at all.

After walking for a while, when it was time for Shen Xixi to drink medicine, the team stopped to rest.

While Fifteen was brewing the medicine, Twelve walked to the roadside and quietly rolled up the sleeve of his right arm.

On Hao Bai's wrist, a slender black line spread straight up along the blood vessels, leading directly to his heart.

"After seven days, if Shen Xixi's head is not seen, then... you will die for her."

The saint's words kept ringing in his ears. Looking back at the carriage, the corners of Twelve's eyes turned red.

"Twelve, come and eat." Just as she was thinking, Shen Xixi walked out of the carriage and waved in her direction.

"Here we come." Quickly wiping away the tears from his eyes, Twelve hid his arms behind his back and walked towards Shen Xixi with a smile.

Qushui, the most prosperous restaurant in the city, inside Tianxiang Tower.

The man wearing a green deerskin short coat, dark blue trousers, and tiger leather boots sat quietly in the room, his round eyes looking out the door from time to time.

"Gu Juechen, that pretty boy, how dare you lie to me!" After waiting for a long time and not seeing the person he wanted to see, Hatu punched the table with his eyes filled with anger.

"Master, since you've come, you'll be fine. Just wait." When the men on the side saw him getting angry, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and tried to persuade him sincerely.

"That's too much bullying. They clearly don't take me seriously." Thinking that he risked his life to go to the city and sit here for a long time without even showing his face, Hatu became angry.

"Owner……"

Just as his subordinates were about to continue speaking, the tightly closed door was slowly opened from the outside.

"General, are you sure you want to leave?" He said he was going to the mountain to see the Third Master!
