Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing decided to set off to Ji Xigu, and let Li Zehao, Liu Bao and Hua Wenzhu go back first. The search for Mu Yunxi will not be interrupted, but then they want to fulfill some wishes alone.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that on the one hand, they will not give up, and on the other hand, they are also preparing for the worst.

If Mu Yunxi can't be found, and the fourth elders can't figure out how to cure Huo Jiulin, then there is no way to turn things around.

"Then go to Jixi Valley for a while and then go back to the head teacher. We will wait for you at the head teacher."

Li Zehao patted Huo Jiulin on the shoulder and said, Huo Jiulin nodded towards him, everyone exchanged a few words and parted ways.

Because Ji Xigu is relatively secretive, it is inconvenient to hire someone else to drive the carriage, so this time Shen Yiqing became the coachman. This is the first time in the life of Third Young Master Shen to do this!

Although the destination was Jixi Valley, they didn't bother to hurry along the way. They visited all the towns and cities that they hadn't been to along the way, and they agreed tacitly that they didn't mention medical treatment.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Huo?!"

Aunt Yan was the first to see Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing coming, and she seemed a little happy. Some villagers who were busy in the fields also looked over when they heard the voice.

"Aunt Yan, long time no see."

"The two of you said before that you would come back to play often, but it's been almost a year since you left, and you thought you'd forgotten about us."

"That's right……"

"How can it be? There are too many things to be busy during this time, so I can't wait to go back to Jixi Valley to see you as soon as I am free. Aunt Yan has made a few big matchmakers recently?"

"You're the only one who can make fun of people. Since you left, all the little girls in the Tin Valley have been stolen. My lips are worn out, and we haven't even made a deal!"

The group were chatting and laughing. Although Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing had only lived in Jixi Valley for about three months, they felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when they came back this time, which may have something to do with the enthusiasm of the villagers.

Back when they lived at Uncle Du's house, Aunt Yan used to match match from time to time. Now that I think about it, time flies so fast!

"Why didn't Xiao Du come back with you?"

"Oh, no, he's having a good time at my house. This time we're out on errands, passing by, so I thought about seeing everyone, and I'll bring him back next time."

"That's good. That kid is not easy. When Xia Chen came back a while ago, he said that he hadn't seen him for a long time. I was still worried about whether he was doing well."

Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing paused, and asked in surprise, "Senior Xia is back?"

"Yes, I came back half a month ago."

Since they separated from Xia Chen last time, they haven't seen each other again, and they also heard that Li Shumen clarified the past for his master Huo Bin, but they didn't expect Xia Chen to come back.

Aunt Yan asked the two of them to live at her house, but they declined, and then went to Xia Chen's residence, and saw him sitting in the yard from a distance, as if drawing a picture.

"Senior Xia..."

When Xia Chen looked up and saw the two of them, he was still startled, as if he hadn't expected it, he got up and watched them coming, and asked with some doubts: "Why are you here?"

"Ah Ching said she wanted to go out to sea, and we remembered that Xigu is near the sea, so we came here."

"Yes, Senior Xia, did you come back alone?"

Xia Chen's body is so weak, it must be difficult for him to survive the mountain road for so many days if he comes back alone.

"I used to be alone, but later I met Xiao Wei who was out shopping, so I went with him."

Xiao Wei is the son of Dr. Wei, and occasionally he would go out to buy some medicinal materials that cannot be found in the mountains, or other items.

"I saw that your complexion is not very good. Could it be that you are sick?"

Xia Chen asked Huo Jiulin, and Huo Jiulin waved his hands and said, "It's okay, maybe I haven't had a good rest these few days on the road. By the way, I also want to thank Senior Xia for seeking justice for my master."

In fact, Huo Jiulin has always wanted to restore the original truth for Huo Bin, but he promised that Huo Bin would not mention those things to outsiders.

So there is no way to do it if you want to. If it weren't for Xia Chen this time, people in the world would have misunderstood Huo Bin forever.

"This is what we, Shumen Li, owed him. We should pay him back. Fortunately, my eldest brother is still a sensible person. Otherwise, I would not have been able to reveal the original facts so easily."

Thinking of those things before, the three of them can only sigh for a while. It is not only everything on Lusong Island that may not be true. In fact, many things in this world are like this.

"It's getting late today, and you won't be able to go to sea until tomorrow. Now that the Du family is empty, you can stay here with me. Although it looks simple, it can be regarded as a place to live."

"Originally, Ah Qing and I came here to stay for a few days."

"That's good, I'll clean up the guest room for you."

Xia Chen is the person Huo Bin loves the most in his life, so Huo Jiulin also treats him as a family member. This time he can meet again in Jixi Valley, and he can't help but feel a little happy.

Huo Jiulin's cooking skills are not bad, but his current physical condition does not allow him to be tired.

So Shen Yiqing took the initiative to take up the job as a chef, but the third son Shen had never cooked much in his life, so he almost burned the kitchen down in the end.

"Ah Qing, if you continue like this, we will be kicked out by Senior Xia."

Looking at the messy kitchen, Huo Jiulin couldn't laugh or cry, Shen Yiqing replied unnaturally: "It's just an accident."

"Yes, yes, it's just an accident. Our Third Young Master Shen can't do anything. It's just cooking a meal, and it's not handy. I think the kitchen is not easy to use."

"I kindly lent you the kitchen, but you still blame me for my kitchen."

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Xia Chen couldn't help but said that he originally wanted to come in, but when he saw the situation inside, he turned around and walked out.

"Come on, I believe it's the kitchen's problem. After all, Yiqing, you've worked so hard. In fact, it's also a good choice to make a fire and grill fish in the yard."

Hearing Xia Chen drop such a sentence, followed by a burst of laughter, Shen Yiqing's face became even more embarrassed, a little annoyed that she couldn't do such a small thing well, and Huo Jiulin wanted to laugh too.

But he was afraid that someone would explode after laughing, so he could only hold back, and reached out to touch Shen Yiqing's cheek.

"Daughter-in-law, leave this to me. You go out and help Senior Xia light the fire."

"I'll clean it up."

"No, if you're free, why don't you wash your face first?"

"Face?"

Shen Yiqing raised her hand to touch her face in some perplexity, then looked down and saw the black ash in her hand, her face turned dark immediately, and she kicked Huo Jiulin again and again patiently.

Huo Jiulin bent down and touched his legs with an innocent face, then raised his head and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's not that I wiped your face..."

Seeing that Shen Yiqing was about to erupt before he finished speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her and coaxed, "I'm not good, I'm not good, come, let's share the blessings."

Then she leaned over and rubbed Shen Yiqing's face until she was covered in black ashes. Seeing this, Shen Yiqing couldn't help laughing, scolded her nerves and walked out.

After he went out, the smile on Huo Jiulin's face disappeared, his brows were furrowed, and he raised his hand to cover his heart. He could feel that his condition was getting worse in the past few days, and he didn't know how long he could last. Today, if he dies, what will Ah Qing do?

Putting away these disturbing thoughts, he simply tidied up the kitchen. When he finished tidying up and walked to the yard, Xia Chen and Shen Yiqing were already grilling fish.

"You are worthy of being a couple."

Xia Chen looked at the black ashes on Huo Jiulin's face and commented, Huo Jiulin didn't care, sat beside Shen Yiqing with a smile, took the stick in his hand and started grilling fish.

"We are called husband and wife, right daughter-in-law?"

"roll."

Xia Chen watched the two of them arguing, and remembered every detail of how he and Huo Bin got along in the past.

For a moment, he felt a little emotional. Huo Jiulin and Huo Bin were like father and son. He and Huo Bin couldn't be together, so he hoped that Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing could always get along like this.

It is not easy for two people to be happy, but if they can stay together for a lifetime, it is really a great happiness.

"It's been a long time since I ate the fish of Ji Xigu, and now it smells really nostalgic."

"Then you stay here for a while longer this time and eat enough. I live alone and it's deserted. It's not so difficult when you are here."

Shen Yiqing looked worried, although she tried not to remind herself of Huo Jiulin's condition recently.

But this is not to say that you can ignore it if you don't think about it. Watching him weaken day by day, I just feel extremely uncomfortable in my heart.

Seeing that Shen Yiqing lowered his head and said nothing, Huo Jiulin knew what he was worried about. He looked at the fish in his hand and found that it was almost cooked, so he changed the subject and said, "Ah Qing, take it, I just adjusted some fish. Seasoning, now take it out, sprinkle it on the fish and eat it."

Shen Yiqing took the stick, and Huo Jiulin stood up and walked into the kitchen to bring out the seasonings. As soon as he reached the yard, he heard a burst of exclamation.

"Oh, help, help!!"

Huo Jiulin raised his eyes and saw a black shadow approaching. Normally, he would be able to avoid it with his skill, but now his body is too weak, so he can only watch himself being thrown down.

With a bang, the two fell heavily to the ground, the seasoning in the bowl was sprinkled all over, because some chili powder was added in it, and only a coughing sound was heard.

Shen Yiqing and Xia Chen ran over quickly, thinking of Huo Jiulin's current physical condition, he was able to pay off such a pounce, Shen Yiqing was a little angry, but he choked when he got close.

The person lying on Huo Jiulin's body was also in great pain, and yelled, "Ahem, cough, what the hell is that girl with incense powder on her body, why the hell are you wearing chili powder!"

Huo Jiulin was speechless, he should be the one to start scolding first, but he was stunned before the scolding came out, because the person in front of him seemed familiar, so he recalled it carefully, and said in surprise: "Mu... Mu Yunxi?"
