"Happy? Niantong, you don't understand. When I saw him, my eyes were filled with fear... I was afraid, the scene of separation twenty years ago was vivid in my mind." Yan Yan sighed and shook his head, "Well, you can count, I have fulfilled my wishes over the years. Perhaps, in just a short time, I have redeemed my longing for over the years."

"Master, Yuheng loves you so much, I think...if you try again, it's unknown if you can go back twenty years ago?"

"What's the point of going back?" Yan Yan turned around and held her hand. "Niantong, you must know that people who will not cherish the happiness of the moment will not be happy in the future."

Nian Tong was stunned, but what flashed through his mind was Tang Xi's face.

Yan Yan looked at her thoughtful expression and gently touched her hair: "I know, you have a good intention to do this, and I also know that Yuheng and I are each other in our hearts, but I think it's impossible for everything to go back to the past. Instead of doing this, it's better to live alone."

"I understand, Master... Then, I'll take you back to Huashan?"

"No need, you have a lot of important things to do here. There are also important things to deal with on Mount Hua. I have been here for a day, so I'll go back first. You have to be careful in everything, do you know?"

Yan Yan's comfort to her was like her mother. She had never felt her mother's care since she was a child. She was suddenly moved and tears kept flowing down.

After sending Yan Yan away, Nian Tong and Tang Xi returned to Wanjun Mansion. Along the way, Nian Tong was a little depressed, thinking about what Master Yan Yan said. Tang Xi saw it, but didn't know how to comfort him.

Niantong returned to Wanjun Mansion and happened to meet Qu Yiran. Qu Yiran was happy at the moment, thinking about the gift that Jisheng gave her personally. Seeing Niantong, he thought about the medicinal materials that Jisheng saw. He was a little dull and then pulled Niantong into his room.

"Niantong, I want to tell you something, but! You have to make sure that you will never hit me..." Qu Yiran said flatteringly.

Niantong asked curiously: "What's the matter? It makes you so nervous..."

"I...I forgot to throw away those medicinal herbs..."

"What medicinal herbs?" Niantong didn't react yet.

"It's Tianshan Snow Lotus..."

Nian Tong was stunned and asked, "Who saw it? It's not Tang Xi, probably not. He just was with me, so he didn't have any special reaction... Could it be Ji Sheng?"

"Yes... he entered my room. I just came back from you separately at that time. He saw the package I was still on the ground." Qu Yiran looked very sorry.

"...Then, does he know my identity?" Niantong asked.

"I don't know. He asked me, I didn't say it, but he could guess a little, but don't worry." Qu Yiran held Niantong's hand, "I told him not to tell others, he agreed."

"Hey..." Nian Tong sighed, "I know I can't hide this. Now Ashikun probably guessed it. Jisheng is so smart, he must have known it too. I just hope that Tang Xi will not know, otherwise, he will definitely lose my money..."

"Tang Xi also cares about you. You are so afraid of him. Isn't it because he cares about you the most?" Qu Yiran said.

"Yeah..." Niantong said, "Yiran, do you know, today, I think I have done something bad again."

Niantong told Qu Yiran the whole story of Yan Yan and Yuheng, and Qu Yiran felt very sorry.

"However, I think your master is right, it's hard to reunite the mirror, let alone twenty years, cherishing the present is really the most important thing." Qu Yiran said.

As he was talking, the door was knocked.

Tang Xi's voice came: "Niantong, come out."

Niantong was a little surprised, but immediately responded and walked out.

"Where are you going to take me..." Niantong asked strangely, feeling a little scared, always worried that he would say something like last time, which would make her at a loss.

"You will know when you go." Tang Xi took her to the small bridge and flowing water in Wanjun Mansion. Niantong saw a big box on the table, woven from bamboo and wood.

"What is this..." Niantong asked.

Tang Xi scratched his head embarrassedly: "I saw that you were so depressed when you came back just now. I knew that you must be very uncomfortable because of Elder Yan Yan and Yuheng's affairs. I don't know how to comfort you. I remembered that I saw a lot of pear paste you like on the way back. Just when you were talking to her in Qu Yiran's room, I ran to the street to buy a large box of pear paste. You know, if you eat sweeter things unhappy, you will be happy..."

Niantong was a little moved, and there was a hint of sob in her throat, but she still said angrily: "You have bought so much, who can finish eating? I'm afraid that the pear paste candy will break down before I finish it. You may be hoping that I will be unhappy every day, or that I want to make my teeth decay..."

"No." Tang Xi said anxiously. Niantong felt a little anxious to laugh. After all, he was also a seven-foot man. His nervous look in front of him made her laugh.

"Then, I'll accept it, thank you, Master." Niantong opened the lid of the box, picked up a piece of pear paste candy, and opened the layers of packaging on it, and a sweet smell came towards her.

"Don't say thank you to me." Tang Xi looked at her smiling foolishly. You don't know that your happiness is the best reward for me.

But how short and ordinary the happiness is now, it makes people yearn for it, and it is so far away.

In the evening, things that Niantong had been worried about for a long time finally came. Xingfen's death had been gone since she wrote a letter to Xu Yungui last time. Today, when she returned to the room, Niantong saw the letter sent by a carrier pigeon and fell on the window. Her eyelids twitched and she went over to get the letter.

"In a few days, you will go back to Hongxiu Villa."

The few short words made Niantong's body tremble. She frowned, feeling that the pill in her body was like a *. Although, she knew that it was just a psychological effect.

In Hongxiu Villa, there was one thing she had not completed except to rescue Yi Yang.

So, she had to go back.

However, she also knew that this time she went back, there was no other reason or excuse, which was equivalent to admitting to everyone that she, Niantong, had indeed defected to Hongxiu Villa.

She sighed deeply.

After two days of life, Ashkun finally came back. He was dusty and his face was terrible. Niantong and Qu were still eating pastries. Seeing him like this, they were shocked.

"Master, you are back! Why are you so bad in your face..." Niantong greeted her.

"I got Mu Yun's blood." Ashkun said simply.

"This... did the master's father fight with him?"

"I exchanged blood with him. Now, can I go and save Guo Lili?"

"Master, you are not in good health now, let Jisheng and Qu Yiran go. You go to rest first. Master Lizi will definitely not be able to wake up in a while. You must be mentally healthy and come back to take care of her. What do you think?" Niantong turned to Qu Yiran and said, "Yiran, go find Jisheng quickly, I will help Master Dad to rest first."

Ashkun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He thought carefully about what Niantong said, and it really made sense. He also believed that Jisheng and Qu Yiran.

Niantong supported Ashikun and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"

"I found Mu Yun in Tingfeng Village. He was surprised to see me. I didn't want to take his life. I wanted his blood. He knew that I wanted his blood to save Guo Lili. I thought I wanted to destroy my lips and tongue, but unexpectedly, he agreed immediately. I asked him what he needed. He said that if I wanted, I could exchange my blood with him."

"Exchange? Why, Master, what's the use of your blood?"

"I have been taking the poison since I was a child. My blood can resist all kinds of poisons and can also save people." Ashkun said.

Niantong got goosebumps: "Since I was a child, I took poison... Master Dad, why did he agree at once? Killing Master Lizi is their purpose. Although he may not know that his brother Xingfen died at your hands, he would not agree at once..."

"Maybe it was because Li Li was kind to them that made his conscience discover? Before I could think about it so much, I saw his blood with my own eyes, so I rushed back."

Niantong sank her face. This matter must not be that simple, but she couldn't think of what was wrong.

The matter here has almost been resolved. After Master Lizi wakes up, it is time to return to Hongxiu Villa, she thought.

After all the matters, she will go to investigate after Hongxiu Villa.

After Ashikun rested, Niantong walked alone in Wanjun Mansion to relax. She knew that Jisheng and Qu would still save Master Lizi, so she didn't have to worry, but she was very worried, as if she couldn't sigh with helplessness.

Tang Xi didn't know when she appeared beside her.

"I've finished eating the pear paste candy I gave you?"

"No." Niantong shook her head.

"Then why are you still so unhappy?" Tang Xi asked.

"Life is short, but sometimes it is bitter, and the sweetness of sugar cannot be removed, right?" Niantong looked at him with a smile.

Tang Xi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take you to see the stars?"

Before Niantong agreed, Tang Xi took her hand and ran out. Niantong said "ah" several times, and suddenly she didn't want to refuse. She was about to go back to Hongxiu Villa. By then, everything would be changed, and she might never go back to the past. So let herself indulge once. Besides, it is not the first time to look at the stars with him.
