The wind blows and the grass moves, a quiet atmosphere. The cop's face is tense, serious, uneasy, and stiff.

  She was worried and anxious, and didn't have the energy to feel the significance of the hug, while Mu Junwu, who was hugging her, slowly calmed down his emotions.

  "Thank you." A soft voice whispered in Huā Róu's ear, and the hands that were embracing her waist also let go.

  Hua Rou took a deep breath, rubbed her hands together, turned to look at him, and naturally saw the redness in his eyes and the traces of tears.

  "Is it better now?"

  Mo Jun nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

  Hua Rou saw this and also lowered her head. She saw the falling herbs, without thinking, stretched out her hand to grab them and put them on his neck.

  She didn't say a word and remained silent, but her hand was pressed against his neck, as if she feared he would have another seizure.

  The atmosphere is a bit subtle: concern, care, warmth, and complexity are all mixed together, making Mu Junwu dazed.

  She said last time her parents passed away, if it's true, how did she make through?

  She looks so fragile, yet she is so strong.

  "Is it true that your parents have passed away?"

  His inner doubts made him ask, and Hua Rou nodded slightly after a moment of stunned silence.

  "How did you get here?"

  Hua Rou bit her lip and shook her head.

  "My mother is also dead!"

  Hua Ruo's body trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red. "She was killed by the Qiu family, and they are still destroying my father's established business. What's worse is that this enemy was once someone I trusted and accompanied day and night."

  Your voice is filled with coolness, hatred, heartache and thick sarcasm. He thinks it's ridiculous that he was born into such a family and still dares to hope for a pure land and genuine sincerity.

  "Is there still such a bad person in this world?" Hua Rou was very surprised.

  At Tangmen, she saw the evil in human nature, but those people were strangers. It was the first time she heard that people who accompanied her day and night, people she trusted very much, would become enemies.

  "When you met me, he was trying to kill me." Mu Junwu said with a bitter smile, and at this moment, Hua Rou's anger rose as she clenched her fists: "This man is really detestable!"

  "Yes, it's detestable. I didn't want to settle scores with him, but the hatred for killing my mother cannot be forgiven! My father's foundation cannot be left unguarded!"

  Admiring you, I see the gentle gaze of Hua Rou filled with reluctance, he knows his decision will be to leave here and bid her farewell.

  "I'll be with you, I'll help you. That bad person is not good to you, and we'll deal with him together!" Hua Rou heard this and immediately expressed her willingness, which made Mu Junwu unexpectedly say: "You? You want to avenge me with me?"

  "Hmm! Although I'm not as fierce as you, but I'll work hard!"

  "But revenge will involve bloodshed, sacrifice and death, aren't you afraid?"

  "Good people will be rewarded, and bad people should be punished. Your revenge is justified, what's there to be afraid of?"

  "Am I going to become a fierce and evil spirit too?"

  "Revenge, huh? It's gotta be fierce to count. Not that you're a malevolent spirit or anything, but because you're a good person, even when you're bad, it's the 'good person' kind of bad, not the 'evil person' kind."

  "You believe in me so much?"

  "I must believe in you!" Hua Rou emphasized very seriously: "Don't worry, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, understand you, and be with you!"

  Admiring you, I look at Hua Rou, and suddenly smile: "Alright, I permit you to accompany me."

  He decided he would stay with her until he had to leave.

  "Hua Ruo heard this and excitedly said: 'Alright then!' She stretched out her little thumb: 'Let's make a deal!'"

  Admiring you, I took a glance at that little thumb and hooked it up.

  "Pulling hooks into an agreement, one hundred years without change!"

  He smiled at her, seriously thinking if it was possible to take her with him

  At this time, Huā Róu flipped her palm and grasped Mù Jūn Wú's wrist, feeling it carefully.

  "The poison in your body has stabilized for now, apply the medicine and rest a bit more, I need to go gather herbs first, Master wants me to finish gathering them today!"

  "You go ahead, I'll rest for a while and head back myself later."

  "Good." Huajun released Mu Junwu and stood up, ready to leave.

  "Ah!"

  "What?"

  "Thank you for believing in me."

  Hua Rou smiled at him: "As it should be." After speaking, she went to the medicine field to continue picking herbs.

  As soon as she left, Mu Junwu took down the medicine box, tidied up his clothes and stood up to leave.

  He didn't go down the mountain, but instead returned by the same route and arrived under the old tree again, lifted up the grass skin and entered the secret passage.

  In the medicine field, Hua Rou was picking herbs on one hand and recalling Mu Junwu's eyes reddening on the other, her heart full of tenderness.

  Brother Mo, don't worry, whether it's for you or for myself, I will work hard to grow up quickly and master the poisonous skills. I will definitely make myself stronger to help you.

  In a luxurious room of a wine house in Youzhou City, Peng Lan's face was gloomy as she scratched the handkerchief in her hand with a dagger.

  She planted a thorn in his heart, forcing him to abandon his illusions and face reality. She thought he would return after getting lost, but until now, she still hasn't seen his returning figure.

  This made her feel very bad.

  "Master?" A surprised and delighted voice came from outside the room.

  Peng Lan quickly threw the dagger and the torn handkerchief into the needlework basket to cover them up. Just as she withdrew her hand, Mu Junwu walked in through the curtain.

  "Fourth Brother." Peng Lan's face lit up with surprise as he stood up to greet him.

  Admiring you, I silently walked over and sat down in front of her. Peng Lan saw this and quickly poured him a cup of tea, speaking to curry favor: "It's great that you're back, come, have some tea, I'll get someone to prepare some refreshments for you."

  "It's unnecessary!" Mu Junwu looked at Peng Lan: "I came to tell you that I accept your father's proposal."

  "Really?" Peng Lan was overjoyed: "You're willing to?"

  I nod in admiration of you.

  Peng Lan was excited and delighted, her chin involuntarily lifted up.

  "But there's one thing I can't do." Mu Junwu suddenly added a sentence, leaving Peng Lan stunned: "What?"

  "I can't marry you."

  Peng Lan was stunned on the spot.

  "Your father has helped me, and all he wants is for the Peng family to prosper for generations to come. On the court, I can promise you that: if things go well in the future, your father will be granted the title of Zhu Guo, and as long as the country remains stable, the Peng family will surely flourish for ten thousand years."

  Your promise is clear and straightforward, going straight to the heart, but these words are not important to Peng Lan, that sentence I couldn't do made her mind go blank.

  She stared blankly at Mu Junwu, took several deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down: "Fourth Brother's words are as good as gold, but for my father, this verbal promise is probably not as solid as an alliance through marriage."

  "If I were to speak the truth without faith, our marriage would be nothing but a waste of your time."

  You said it was finished and left immediately when he came back, that's all there is to say, no need to waste words here.

  "Wait!" Peng Lan stared at him unwillingly: "I want to know, why did you refuse my marriage proposal? If you were so unwilling, why did you agree in the first place?"
