Su Jin gently stepped out of Chen Qianxue's embrace, sat down again, and stopped worrying about Mai Zizi and her older brothers.

If Shen Qianxue is willing to keep her distance from Mai Zizi, then she should naturally keep her distance from her older brothers as well. What else can be said?

Su Jin changed the subject, "How's the investigation into the competition going?"

Shen Qianxue knew that Su Jin would bring this up again, and she pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"The investigation is still ongoing."

Su Jin looked up.

Feeling guilty, Shen Qianxue looked away, avoiding eye contact.

Yang Jiaoruo and Su Jinxia are already at odds. If Su Jinxia confirms that Yang Jiaoruo was responsible for this matter, Su Jinxia will definitely not let it go.

Therefore, the only option is to keep it a secret for now.

As for Yang Jiaoruo, Shen Qianxue naturally had ways to control her and warn her to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Ultimately, aside from making a mistake regarding Su Jin's affairs, Yang Jiaoruo did everything else very well.

Or rather, it's not accurate to say she was confused; it's simply a matter of differing perspectives. Therefore, Shen Qianxue cannot completely abandon Yang Jiaoruo because of this incident.

Su Jinxia could roughly understand Shen Qianxue's thoughts, and in the end, she didn't press the matter, simply giving a faint "hmm".

"By the way, was there only one person chasing you in the mountains?" Shen Qianxue asked.

Su Jinxia took a breath and nodded slightly. She couldn't explain the deaths of the other two people, so she could only deny them completely.

Fortunately, Shen Qianxue did not press the matter further.

The three of them each had their own ideas about this matter, so they could only let it go as it was.

Yang Jiaoruo found a plausible reason for the deaths of those three people; she would not admit that she had the idea of ​​killing Su Jinxia.

Shen Qianxue knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't have solid evidence and wouldn't convict Yang Jiaoruo based on it, nor did he want to investigate further. He had completely chilled Yang Jiaoruo's heart, so he could only go along with Yang Jiaoruo's words and punish and warn her for her improper leadership.

However, Su Jinxia couldn't let it go either; investigating too thoroughly wouldn't do her any good.

Su Jin sighed. Oh well, let it be. She didn't want to put Shen Qianxue in a difficult position.

Su Jin calmed down a bit and picked up the flowers to trim them again.

Shen Qianxue sighed, "At least look at me."

Having been here for so long, Su Jinxia had barely given him a proper look, and the few times she did glance at him were filled with coldness, sending chills down his spine.

Su Jin glanced at him, but still refused to smile.

As darkness fell, Shen Yun approached and said, "Young master, shall we set out a meal? The young lady didn't eat much this morning."

Shen Qianxue nodded, and Shen Yun withdrew.

Shen Qianxue reached out and pinched Su Jinxia's cheek. She had indeed become much thinner and weaker, yet she still ran around the medicine shop, not taking her health seriously at all.

One or two of them are causing you a lot of trouble.

Su Jinxia's mouth was pulled so hard it was crooked, and she glared at Shen Qianxue with resentment.

As darkness fell, Su Jin's bright eyes and rosy lips seemed to be veiled by a captivating veil.

Moved by her feelings, Shen Qianxue leaned closer.

Su Jin's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head to the side.

Shen Qianxue's lips missed their mark, and she secretly gritted her teeth.

Su Jin's ears turned slightly red. She put down the flowers in her hand and ran back to the house in a flash, hiding on the second floor.

The meal was quickly set out, and Shen Yun called Su Jin down from the stairwell.

After Su Jin responded, she dawdled for a long time before finally going downstairs.

Shen Qianxue sat upright at the table, waiting for Su Jin to come down.

Su Jinxia chose a seat furthest away from him and sat down.

Shen Qianxue was really worried. Why were women so hard to coax?

The table was full of dishes that Su Jinxia loved, but she still had no appetite and couldn't bring herself to eat them for a long time.

Ultimately, it wasn't because she was angry, but because she had too many things weighing on her mind lately, making it hard for her to breathe.

Yang Jiaoruo's hatred and increasingly intense entanglement made her worried and even afraid.

The curse-like words spoken by Yuan Qi on the cliff still echo in my ears.

Mai Zizi's targeting is also exhausting.

And Luming's body...

Days passed by, and the road became increasingly dangerous and difficult to traverse!

Sometimes, Su Jinxia really regretted having so many ties with Phoenix Pavilion.

Both hatred and love made her uneasy.

Shen Qianxue also fell silent. He hadn't sensed Su Jinxia's emotions earlier because of her anger, but now it was clear that wasn't the case.

Her identity, her physical condition, and her purpose are all shrouded in mystery.

This fog obscured the view of others, and it also obscured the view of oneself.

Living in a fog for too long will cause you to lose your way.

Shen Qianxue sat down next to Su Jinxia, ​​gently hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "I'm here for you."

Shen Qianxue spoke with unusual firmness.

Even though he couldn't see the future clearly, he was still willing to make a firm promise, just to share Su Jin's current anxiety.

Feeling the sense of security brought by Shen Qianxue's strong chest, Su Jinxia raised her arm and wrapped it around Shen Qianxue.

"Yes, I know."

Su Jin took a deep breath and silently cheered herself up.

She can't go like this, she can't collapse!

She will take back the Liuli Society, protect herself, protect Shen Qianxue, and protect everyone who loves her. Everything will be alright.

Shen Qianxue picked up her chopsticks and put some food on Su Jin's plate. "Eat well. I'll come and eat with you from now on."

Su Jin nodded, perked up, and obediently ate her meal.

Shen Qianxue patted her head and suddenly saw her own reflection in Su Jin's lower body.

That day, in the same spot, he was also in a bad mood. His mother hugged him and talked to him a lot, saying many kind words to encourage him, and only then did he pick up his chopsticks.

And his mother stroked his head with the same contentment.

As Su Jinxia's hair was being stroked, she gradually noticed that Shen Qianxue's gaze had changed from doting to loving, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Qianxue blinked, came back to her senses, and sighed softly, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't eaten in this room for a long time."

Tingyu Tower was originally the room of Shen Qianxue's mother.

Su Jin picked up a piece of lotus root and held it to Shen Qianxue's lips, and Shen Qianxue naturally opened her mouth.

"I've never heard you mention your mother before?" Su Jin asked casually.

Shen Qianxue's expression darkened slightly. "There's nothing to say. Have some porridge."

He changed the subject and went to scoop porridge for Su Jin.

Su Jin stopped asking; she didn't like reopening old wounds.

The two of them fed each other, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

"I went to the foot of the cliff yesterday. Did you erect Han Chuan's grave?" Shen Qianxue casually mentioned. He hadn't expected anyone to live there, so he went to check on it again.

Su Jinxia nodded, "Yes, I fell off a cliff and my meridians were damaged. I was on the verge of death. He passed on his internal energy to me, but he died from weakness. That's why I built this tomb for him."

Shen Qianxue's hand trembled. "What internal energy? It can't be the Lone Shadow Internal Energy, can it?"

"Um."

Su Jin nodded honestly; she had no intention of hiding this matter.

Shen Qianxue hurriedly grabbed Su Jinxia's hand to check her pulse, but then remembered that Su Jinxia's pulse was not capable of detecting any problems.

Have you been feeling unwell lately?
