Shen Qianxue sat down in the room and said coldly, "I'm just curious about what the Glazed Gu is and why it has such powerful and bizarre strength. I have no other intentions."

Lu Ming turned his back to Shen Qianxue, not wanting to talk to her. "You want to know? I don't want to tell you."

Shen Qianxue...

A silence fell over the room.

Shen Qianxue remained silent for a long time. Lu Ming secretly glanced at him and found that his face was very pale, and his lonely eyes were full of sadness.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lu Ming straightened up and hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened?"

Shen Qianxue licked her lips. She would never tell anyone what she had said and done with Su Jin in the room that day.

"You went to Leien Temple, didn't you? Did you see her?" Shen Qianxue changed the subject.

That "she" naturally refers to Fangfei, Shen Qianxue's mother.

Lu Ming sighed and didn't press further. He replied, "I didn't see her. My master went on a journey. I searched for her all the way but couldn't find her. However, I found one of her friends and obtained a handwritten note from her."

Lu Ming raised his hand, and in his hand was Fang Fei's, also known as Master Wangchen's, notes.

Shen Qianxue's eyes flickered. This was probably the first time Shen Qianxue had seen anything that belonged to Fangfei since Fangfei left.

They were once close relatives, but now they talk about each other like strangers.

Shen Qianxue's heart skipped a beat. Some wounds don't hurt unless you touch them, but they hurt terribly when you do.

Knowing Shen Qianxue's inner conflict, Lu Ming didn't linger there and continued, "I found records about the Glazed Gu in the book. It says that the power of the Glazed Gu comes entirely from the host's life. Therefore, all of A Jin's power is based on consuming her lifespan, as are the other members of the Glazed Society."

Lu Ming's expression instantly turned serious; this matter was of utmost importance.

Shen Qianxue was so shocked he didn't know what expression to make. He asked anxiously, "No, there's no mistake, is there?"

His voice was weak, carrying a fear that even he himself was unaware of.

Lu Ming sighed deeply, "I also hope it's a mistake, but..."

Lu Ming picked up a piece of paper from the table and continued, "This is a record of the ages of all the previous Glass Masters when they died. None of them were over forty years old, and the cause of death for each of them was unknown."

Shen Qianxue walked over quickly, picked up the paper, glanced at it, and said with an unusually heavy heart, "You mean Su Jinxia won't live past forty?"

"I'm afraid it will be even sooner!" When Lu Ming said this, his heart felt as heavy as if it were filled with a large stone.

The paper in Shen Qianxue's hand trembled slightly. "How early?"

Lu Ming frowned. "How would I know? I haven't seen her in so long. Besides, her pulse has always been faked, so it's impossible to detect her true condition."

Lu Ming frowned and thought for a moment, "I only checked her true pulse when she was injured on the back. It must have been because of some reason that the power of the Gu Mother was weakened, so the true pulse was revealed. At that time, her pulse was already very weak and disordered, but she recovered in a few days. Her mental state was also very good, so I couldn't continue to make a judgment. Now that I think about it, the reason why she recovered so quickly and had so much energy was because the Gu Mother was prematurely overdrawing her life."

Shen Qianxue's hand drooped down, and the paper fluttered onto the table.

He chuckled, his face filled with sorrow, "Just how many things is she still hiding from me?"

Lu Ming stood up, his expression grave. "She really is too willful. I want to go find her and see what's going on with her. Would you like to come with me?"

Shen Qianxue took two steps back, turned around dejectedly, and said, "I have made a promise with her that we will never see each other again in this life. If you want to go, then go by yourself."

Lu Ming was shocked, unable to believe that Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia had reached this point.

"But why? You've already left the military and are no longer involved in the struggle for power. Shouldn't you and her be free of obstacles?"

Shen Qianxue looked up, hoping the tears in his eyes wouldn't fall. He had decided never to be sad or upset for her again.

However, his heart was no longer under his control!

Shen Qianxue broke down and cried softly, her voice hoarse, "I also thought there were no more obstacles between us, but who knew that it was always unrequited love between us, and there was no affection between us as you and I thought."

Shen Qianxue shook his head. His pride and arrogance were no match for Su Jinxia, ​​which made him feel ashamed and angry.

Shen Qianxue took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, and revealed a resolute expression. "I asked her countless times, and all I got were her harsh words, so I stopped trying to embarrass myself. I hope you, as her master, can gain something from this."

Shen Qianxue strode away, thinking: The words had been spoken so clearly and resolutely, even on the day Su Jin died, he had no reason to visit her...

Yes, he has no reason to go see her anymore!

Lu Ming had no idea what had happened, and could only sit back down helplessly.

Actually, he was also very nervous.

In just two or three years, Su Jinxia had grown into a completely unfamiliar person to them, so Lu Ming couldn't be sure whether Su Jinxia still recognized him as her master.

As Shen Qianxue walked back to the courtyard, he inevitably saw the towering Tingyu Tower. The bitterness in his heart surged up again. He didn't know how long it would take for him to be able to look at the building directly, and to stop thinking of Su Jinxia when he saw it.

Shen Qianxue clenched her fist and slammed it against the wall beside her.

He didn't use any internal force; he just smashed it, and his fist was immediately stained with blood.

Looking at the vibrant colors, Shen Qianxue's eyes gradually turned red and became gloomy.
