  When I woke up, there was no one in the room. The incense in the censer had burned out, and the scent in the air had faded to a very faint degree, but it could still be distinguished as being used for people to sleep peacefully.

  In a hurry, he got up and rushed to his place, passing through the sea peach blossom forest, where he saw Lian Mo in white clothes, standing silently.

  I can feel that my body's blood circulation is much smoother than yesterday, so I'm even more afraid in my heart. I forced down the faint unease and asked aloud to Lian Mo: "Is he in the room?"

  She slowly turned her gaze to me, her face pale, her expression even more cold and frosty, as if she had lost all her gentleness and softness in an instant.

  She looked at me for a long time before speaking again, her voice devoid of any discernible emotion: "He's not here, the young master has gone on a distant journey, and before he left, he reminded you to remember the medical fee he promised."

  "Going far away from home?" I was taken aback: "Where did he go?"

  Ling Mo didn't bother to explain, but instead took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over: "This was written by the young master before he left. He unblocked the meridians in your body and then wrote down this prescription. I want you to follow the dosage and brew the medicine according to the instructions on this paper, and avoid getting overly emotional. Although it's impossible for you to be completely normal like ordinary people, with years of conditioning, there will be some improvement. It's all written here, take a look yourself. Ling Ke has already made a copy and gone to prepare it, she'll take care of it, so you don't need to worry. You can keep this one, miss."

  I took it, the thin paper with fresh ink, every word written with strength and vigor, containing a powerful bone, is the famous Su Shi's calligraphy style, also the most familiar font to me.

  "Where did he go?" I gazed deeply at Lian Luo, my tone pleading.

  "He left the valley to avoid you, don't even mention that no one knows where he went, even if they did, what could be done? The young master had already departed after putting you to sleep, and you slept for a whole day and night, do you think you can still catch up?"

  I closed my eyes, just about to say something, when I saw Lian Ke hurrying over with a medicine box. She glanced at Lian Mo, and a complex mix of emotions flashed across her face - it seemed like she was blaming him, yet also pleading with him. Then she turned to me, speaking softly...

  "Since the young master has made up his mind to leave, he must not want the girl to look for him. This is something that both the young master and we hope the girl can understand. I know the girl is worried about the young master, but why not hold onto hope? Perhaps one day, by chance, the young master will have a fortunate encounter and be cured of his injuries, and then they will meet again. This is also the reason why the young master wants to leave the valley; after all, for now, there seems to be no better solution."

  She said, handing me a bowl of medicine from the medicine basket: "This is the medicine made according to the young master's prescription, Miss, please drink it while it's hot. Actually, the young master had already instructed us, so we understand why he did this, and Lianmiao sister was just momentarily anxious, so her tone wasn't very good, don't mind it, Miss. You are the person the young master values most, therefore, Qing Miss must take good care of yourself, don't overexert or worry too much, even if it's for the young master."

  Ling Ke's voice was quiet, and Ling Mo took a deep breath. After a long time, he spoke to me again in a tone that had returned to its usual indifference: "What Ling Ke said is right or wrong is none of my business. Miss, you can temporarily stay at Evil Doctor Valley for the next few days. I've already sent someone on a fast horse to Qi Yue to look for Murong Liu...I believe he will send someone to pick you up soon..."

  "Gongzi didn't..." Lixi hastily said.

  He simply raised his hand, interrupting her, and continued to speak to me: "Young Master instructed us to take good care of you, I won't go against his wishes. However, I don't have the ability to face you every day in Evil Doctor Valley, I'm not sure if I can control my emotions well enough to say things that shouldn't be said, do you understand?"

  Ling Ke fell silent, while Ling Mo continued: "Although Murong Liu is not your biological brother, I know that you two have always been very close, and he now has the ability to protect you completely. Of course, Ling Ke will still follow you, in the Evil Doctor Valley, her martial arts and medical skills are exceptional, and she has a good temperament, which is why Master arranged for her to be by your side. If Miss has any needs, Ling Ke will know how to contact the Evil Doctor Valley, and everyone in the valley will go through fire and water for Miss without hesitation."

  I slowly moved my gaze away from the thin paper in my hand and shook my head gently: "No need, I can do it myself."

  Ling Ke suddenly knelt down in front of me: "This is Ling Ke's medical fee owed to you, Miss. Please don't decline, otherwise, I'll have no choice but to die to repay your kindness."

  My heart suddenly violently shook, the bottom of my heart was clearly in turmoil, aching to the point where I couldn't even breathe, but my eyes were dry and didn't have any tears.

  He arranged everything for me and then left without bringing anyone along.

  He was such a proud and aloof person that he wouldn't want anyone to see his weak side, even in death.

  I recall the last time he held me in his arms, the faint scent of medicine lingering in his embrace, and his soft murmurs.

  He said don't make me sad, so you don't be sad either.

  The palm of his hand clenched tightly out of control, but just as it was about to close completely, he suddenly remembered what he was holding.

  Suddenly scorched to the same urgency, slowly and carefully ironing out the wrinkles left on the paper just now, then pressing it against my heart, and slowly turning around.

  What an unexpected encounter! Should I hold onto hope like this?

  If there really was a strange encounter, I would rather give up my life in exchange. If he hadn't saved me back then, wouldn't that have been the best outcome?

  "Miss," Ling Mo suddenly spoke up and called out to me: "Before you leave, can you teach me how to play the guqin?"

  She turned back, her expression still indifferent, looking at me without avoiding or yielding, while Lian Ke lowered her eyelashes at that moment, silent and motionless.

  We were playing the zither in the Hawthorn Forest, but actually, facing this scene, I had a sorrowful intention that couldn't be expressed through music. However, Lian Mo insisted on me playing.

  She didn't actually have the heart to learn it, I think what she wanted was just to hear those tunes he used to play.

  That day, I was still playing the pipa with her in the sea buckthorn forest, but actually I was the only one playing, she and Lian Ke were quietly listening on the side.

  A green-clad attendant came forward and saluted, saying: "The disciple who went to Qi Yue has just returned. Mu Rong Yu is waiting outside the valley at this moment. Shall we invite him in?"

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
