Even though Xue Tingrong had done so many evil things, Cheng Songan had to admit that her scheming was unmatched. Who would have thought that she had just taken Wanxin away from Guishan Villa and sent her back when people were almost digging the ground to find her.

Cheng Songan looked at Xue Tingrong carefully holding the child and had mixed feelings towards her. She stopped Taxue from going forward to take the child back and said quietly, "It's a pity that you only use your scheming and cleverness for these things."

Xue Tingrong showed a sarcastic smile, her eyebrows slightly raised, and said with disdain: "Are you stupid? Aren't you the only one who can stay in this small villa?"

Feng snorted heavily and said angrily, "What's going on with Wanxin? Tell me the truth."

Cheng Songan and Taxue had changed into riding clothes, each holding a sword, and said to Feng: "Mother, let me explain to you later. Now I will go find Wanxin first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Feng stood up and called her, "You brought a little girl named Taxue with you? I guess you forgot the lesson from last time. Call Xuanwu in."

Xuanwu, who was already outside, appeared silently. When he saw Feng, his calm face showed a hint of respect. He bowed and clasped his fists: "Madam, don't worry. Xuanwu will follow the eldest lady every step of the way."

Feng then nodded with relief, but did not sit down. Instead, she reached out and supported Xuanwu's elbow. Xuanwu straightened up and nodded his chin lightly in response.

Cheng Songan hesitated to speak, and then just said: "Xuanwu, let's go!"

Xuanwu returned to his dejected look and followed her carelessly.

After walking out of the mountain residence, Cheng Songan frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Originally, she just thought that he was a swordsman hired by her father at a high price, who took money to do the job and only talked about the contract and nothing else, but the situation just now did not seem like that.

My father had come here before these days and had seen Xuanwu, but he didn't seem to pay special attention to him, or even recognize him. But my mother was just the opposite. During the few times she came here, Xuanwu was not on duty, but she directly asked Xuanwu to come in. When the two met, they showed respect to each other.

My mother was a hot-tempered person. Was there anyone in this capital city that she could truly respect? The fact that she could show respect to him meant that Xuanwu was not only an old acquaintance, but also a person of extraordinary status.

"I've already said it before. Knowing a lot of things will only add to your troubles." Xuanwu said lifelessly, "Miss, you just need to know that I am here to protect you."

Before Cheng Songan could ask again, Xuanwu had already gone to the second gate, where three horses were prepared. The three men each took one horse and rushed to Guishan Villa at lightning speed.

This time the road was more difficult to travel than during the Spring Festival. The trees were overgrown and the road was difficult to discern. No matter how hard they tried, it was already noon when they arrived at Guishan Villa. Cheng Songan got off his horse and felt a fear of returning home.

Including her previous life, she hadn't seen the real Wanxin for more than ten years. What would it be like if she saw her? Was Wanxin really here? How had she been tortured by Xue Tingrong?

"Be careful!" Taxue raised his sword and heard a clang, the sound of weapons colliding.

Xuanwu noticed the cold arrows earlier than she did, and he had already jumped up. He was already several feet away, but his voice remained in the same place: "Go quickly, don't be moved away."

Cheng Songan immediately understood what he meant. There were people on guard here. If they saw Cheng Songan coming, they would definitely notify the people in the villa to transfer Wanxin. She had to find Wanxin before they took her away.

She quickly ran up the mountain, holding the reins tightly with one hand and holding the sword with the other to form a barrier to block the incoming arrows. Seeing that they couldn't shoot, the sentries appeared and tried to kill her on horseback.

Xuanwu rode up from behind, hacking and killing along the way, while Taxue followed behind to finish off Cheng Songan. The two of them cleared a path for Cheng Songan, and soon they arrived at the courtyard of Guishan Villa.

The flowers of April on earth have faded, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. It is early summer at the foot of the mountain, and the trees in the Guishan Villa have just sprouted. It is quiet all around, with the occasional bird song, but no human presence.

Cheng Songan stood outside the door and did not dare to push it open for a moment. Xuanwu narrowed his eyes, held his sword and leaned against the wall, as if he was not the one who had just chopped the melons and vegetables and killed people.

Taxue couldn't help but put his hand on the door, asking his girl with his eyes whether she wanted to push it open.

Suddenly, a clear laugh came from inside, vague and indistinct. Taxue paused when he heard the sound, took back his hand on the door, and looked at Cheng Songan in confusion.

Cheng Songan pushed open the door and walked in. Turning around the screen wall, he saw a newly built swing. A thin little girl was sitting on the swing. The laughter came from her.

Hearing the door open, the girl slowly turned around, and when she saw the person coming, a smile froze on her face. If it weren't for the fact that her swing was still swinging uncontrollably, she would almost look like a painting.

"Win the heart?" Cheng Songan asked tentatively, his voice trembling.

Along the way, she imagined countless ways of meeting again, but she had never imagined such a scene. Wanxin looked sickly, but there was no sign of abuse. Her big eyes still retained innocence. She was a little older than she was five years ago, but she was shorter than Xue Tingrong of the same age, and looked two or three years younger. However, the two looked 50% similar.

Cheng Wanxin grabbed the swing with both hands, slowly closed her eyes, and turned around again.

Cheng Songan spoke again: "Are you trying to save your heart?"

Cheng Wanxin turned her head again, opened her eyes, and tears kept falling: "Sister?"

"Sister, this is not my dream. You found me."

Cheng Song'an felt as if her heart was tightly grasped. Wanxin's action just now was because she had too many hallucinations. Every time she thought her sister came to pick her up, but every time it was not true.

She walked over, two lives apart, and held her sister in her arms: "I'm sorry, sister is late."

"No, sister, it was Wanxin who was wrong." Cheng Wanxin's tears soaked her clothes. She raised her head and looked at her with sparkling eyes like when she was a child. "I want a healthy body. I didn't know it would be like this."

She had been ill for too long, had seen so many doctors, and taken so many medicines, but they only made her weaker. She knew that she was about to leave this world, leave her family, and leave her beloved sister.

Originally, she had given up, but Xue Tingrong appeared and helped her health gradually improve. The kind-hearted Cheng Wanxin regarded her as the savior who came to save her. She trusted her so much, but she didn't expect that she was a devil.

Xue Tingrong extended her life, but replaced her.
