I carry the wind and moon like an evening chant.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi looked weak and coughed, saying, "The doctor said that Xingyi is weak and needs to rest. That place has beautiful scenery, with both mountains and water, making it suitable for recuperation and living. I believe Xingyi will recover soon."

Even so, Li Xingyi didn't know when he would be able to return.

After hearing this, Li Yunsheng was worried and hesitated to speak. She glanced at Li Yanzhang lying on the bed.

...That's fine, at least it'll prevent us from being targeted again.

Li Yunsheng squeezed Li Xingyi's hand tighter and said, "Xingyi, your mother is waiting for you at home. You must take good care of your health. If you need anything, just let us know."

Li Xingyi's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Xingyi understands. I will leave after my brother is alright."

Li Fengtan nodded and said, "That's fine too."

At this moment, Ji Xi spoke up, "Star Shift..."

Li Xingyi turned around and saw that Ji Xi's face was turned to one side and seemed a little red. He said, "You should rest well."

I'm waiting for you too.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

Li Fengtan immediately understood what he meant.

The child's intentions are a bit obvious, but it's not impossible.

Li Fengtan and his father Ji Shao are close friends, and the children of both families get along very well. Becoming in-laws is an unspoken agreement, but it still depends on the wishes of the two children.

Li Fengtan looked at Li Xingyi.

Li Xingyi said slowly, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Ji. I understand."

Li Fengtan understood immediately upon seeing this.

Star Shift doesn't seem to have that meaning.

Never mind, they're still young, let's see how it goes later.

Li Xingyi returned to her former boudoir, deeply moved. She touched the table, her hands spotless, the layout exactly as when she left.

On a rooftop, Han Sheng removed the cloth covering her face, lowered her eyes, and asked, "When...did you come here?"

He Lian, sitting next to her, said, "I've always been here."

Han Sheng said, "You weren't inside the Frostfrost Sect, so we caught up with you after we came out."

"Since you know, why ask?" He Lian asked, looking at her.

"Yes, why is that?"

Han Sheng didn't know why, but looking at the moon, she spoke with a melancholy tone.

He Lian was clearly taken aback. Han Sheng would actually say that, and in such a tone. It seemed that Han Sheng had something on her mind tonight.

He Lian looked at the person in front of him, not knowing what to say. He slowly lay down on the bricks and said, "Don't blame yourself. Your disciple probably also wanted to be capable and have martial arts skills to protect herself, which would have saved her from becoming like her brother."

Han Sheng was stunned. She hadn't said any of these things, yet the person next to her always seemed to know what she was thinking.

He Lian looked at the moon and said, "Some people say that it is enough to have one true friend in life."

"But I don't want to be your confidant, I want to be your heart."

Han Sheng was clearly stunned, and He Lian continued, "In that case, I can be with you from birth, I will know what you are thinking, and I can also guarantee your life."

A smile unconsciously crept onto Han Sheng's lips as he said, "You don't have to jump if you're angry. We'll live and die together."

He Lian blurted out, "I will keep jumping until the end of your life."

Han Sheng paused for a moment, then murmured softly, "You seem to have become my heart."

At this moment, the wind passes without a trace, and in the stillness, the heartbeat enters the ear.

Those who practice martial arts have the most sensitive senses, so how could Han Sheng, who is also a martial artist, not know this?

He Lian slowly said, "Will you...be my heart?"

Han Sheng lay down and asked, "Why?"

Based on her understanding of He Lian, Han Sheng naturally knew that there was always a reason behind what He Lian said, just like the matter of the heart.

Perhaps He Lian knew this too, for he smiled slightly and said, "Because our hearts are in sync."

Upon hearing this, Han Sheng felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Although she smiled, there were still some tears in her eyes.

Some say that a mute person is like someone eating bitter herbs, unable to express their suffering, but when it comes to emotions, who isn't mute?

We are of one mind, we have been of one mind for a long time.

In fact, Han Sheng had already realized the truth about her own heart.

He Lian didn't get a reply, so he said, "If you don't speak, I'll take that as a yes."

Han Sheng didn't speak after hearing this. He Lian opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again, and finally asked, "Han Sheng, what do you plan to do after you abdicate?"

Han Sheng said, "I haven't thought about that."

“Now think about it,” He Lian said.

Upon hearing this, Han Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps I will venture into the martial world, or perhaps I will find a place to live in the Frost Frost Sect, or maybe I will retire to the mountains."

He Lian asked, "What do you like to do?"

Han Sheng said, "I like it..."

"I..." Upon hearing this, Han Sheng's eyes widened immediately. She turned to look at He Lian, and their eyes met.

He Lian smiled gently and said, "Han Sheng, would you consider me?"

"I don't want to have regrets for the rest of my life."

"Drip, drip," the ice enveloping the heart melted into drops of water.

Han Sheng dared not look at him, her eyes lowered as she asked, "If... she achieves great success, will your heart still remain the same?"

He Lian knew that "she" referred to Li Xingyi, and he also knew that only when Li Xingyi reached that position would Han Sheng feel at ease leaving and considering other things, but he was also afraid that by then his heart would no longer be with her.

He Lian smiled and looked at the moon, saying, "If your heart remains unchanged then, will you still keep your word?"

Han Sheng looked at the moon and smiled slightly, saying, "If your heart remains unchanged, I only wish to grow old with you in this life and share the prosperity of the world."

"From this moment on, the agreement is in effect, and there will be no regrets," He Lian said, looking at her.

Han Sheng replied, "Okay."

Seeing this, He Lian slowly said, "Han Sheng, does this mean you admit it?"

You admit that I'm in your heart, right?

Han Sheng didn't speak, only letting out a very soft "hmm".

The evening breeze was cool, and the love was hard to hide; everything was understood without words.

The next day, as dawn broke, Li Yanzhang slowly opened his eyes and saw Li Xingyi resting on the table, one hand supporting his head.

Seeing this, Li Yanzhang smiled slightly, quietly got up and sat down next to Li Xingyi, looking at him tenderly.

Long time no see, Xingyi, my sister.

After learning martial arts, Li Xingyi's hearing improved to the point that he could detect even the slightest rustling sound.

Her eyes gradually opened, and upon seeing Li Yanzhang, she asked with concern, "Brother, why are you up? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Li Yanzhang shook his head slightly and said, "It's fine now."

Li Xingyi was relieved after hearing this. He parted his thin lips as if to say something, but then closed them again.

Li Xingyi stood up and said, "Brother must be hungry. I'll go and tell someone to prepare some food."

Li Yanzhang nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Yunsheng rushed over as soon as he heard that Li Yanzhang had woken up early in the morning.

Li Yanzhang was eating in his room, and Li Xingyi was also having a meal with him. When Li Yunsheng saw this, he smiled slightly, walked lightly to the table and sat down, saying, "It's been a long time since we've had such a view at home."

Yes, Li Xingyi hasn't been home for five months, and he hasn't had a meal with his family in a long time.

Li Xingyi's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this. He put down his chopsticks and said softly, "It is I who am unfilial, failing to enjoy the company of my father and mother."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunsheng said, "Mother doesn't blame you. Mother only hopes that you can recover soon."

Li Xingyi's eyes welled up with tears. Seeing this, Li Yanzhang asked in confusion, "Is my sister still not well?"

Li Yunsheng replied, "Xingyi needs to rest and recuperate. He can go home once he has recovered."

Li Yanzhang said dejectedly after hearing this, "Oh, I see..."

Seeing this, Li Yunsheng patted his head and said, "Yanzhang, don't be sad. You have to work hard to become stronger. When Xingyi comes back in the future, you will be her support."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhang immediately perked up. He looked at Li Xingyi and said, "Xingyi, take good care of yourself. Your brother will definitely work hard to become strong and become your support."

Li Xingyi said, "Then Xingyi will look forward to that day."

In that case, wouldn't that reduce the chances of you being harmed, brother?

That day, the family of four made dumplings together, enjoyed the moon together, and set off again the next day.

During a winter hunt in December of the fourth year of Dewei, Li Yanzhang was accidentally shot by an arrow, rolled down a cliff, and fell into a coma. He sought medical help everywhere but to no avail.

In January of the fifth year of Dewei, Li Xingyi rushed back to the Li family to visit his brother. He embraced his parents and wept bitterly. His master saw this and took out a elixir to cure his brother's illness. The brother recovered the next day, and the family of four spent a happy time together before setting off to recuperate.

At the entrance of Shuanghan Gate, just as Han Sheng was about to enter, Li Xingyi suddenly knelt down and bowed to her, saying, "Disciple Li Xingyi thanks Master for saving us on behalf of my elder brother."

Han Sheng turned his head slightly to look at Li Xingyi behind him. After bowing three times, Han Sheng remained silent for a while and then said, "Since he is a disciple, it is natural to take care of him. Get up."

After listening, Li Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "This disciple is somewhat dull and hopes that Master will forgive me in the future. After these past few months, and with my brother's matter, I feel that practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body but also protect oneself. It has also made me interested in martial arts, so I hope that Master can teach me wholeheartedly."

Li Xingyi was very clever, clever enough to guess the reason why he came to Shuanghan Sect, clever enough to guess Han Sheng's thoughts, and clever enough to use these words to secretly comfort Han Sheng.

Han Sheng lowered his eyes slightly and said, "This road... is not easy to walk, and that position is not easy to obtain. Even if you obtain it, it will not be easy to survive."

The title of "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" is just that—a title. How many people truly submit to it? How many truly respect it? It's a position coveted by thousands and rivaled by thousands. No one in the martial arts world doesn't want that position and aspire to dominate the martial arts world.

Han Sheng meant that it was possible to back out now, and Li Xingyi solemnly replied, "This disciple is willing to continue."

Han Sheng chuckled and said, "Then... let's go."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi got up and followed, while Qingyi silently made up her mind.

From now on, I will diligently practice martial arts so as to protect the young lady's safety and not hold her back.

The sun was shining brightly today. As soon as he entered, he saw his fellow disciples practicing martial arts. Gongsun Dou spotted Li Xingyi, who had returned, and was overjoyed.

Then something else suddenly occurred to him, and his joy diminished somewhat.

When Hongxing caught sight of Qingyi, he even wanted to greet her. His hand was itching to move, but Qingyi immediately made a "stop" gesture. Hongxing looked slightly disappointed and had no choice but to continue practicing his martial arts.

At this moment, Mu Dong walked up to Han Sheng, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Leader."

Gongsun Dou and the others immediately followed suit, bowing and saying, "Sect Leader."

Han Sheng said, "Let's rest."

"Thank you, Sect Leader," the crowd said.

Then Han Sheng said to Mu Dong, "Go."

The others were puzzled, but Li Xingyi seemed to sense that it was something related to him.

Han Sheng turned around and extended his hand to Li Xingyi. Li Xingyi was puzzled. Han Sheng smiled and said, "Come with Master."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi placed her hand on the hand with distinct knuckles. Han Sheng smiled and took her hand, leading her towards the high platform of Lulin Palace.

At this moment, Mu Dong returned with the other three, but this time he was carrying a pot of flowers.

Mu Dong and the others respectfully greeted, "Sect Leader."

Han Sheng took the potted flower from Mu Dong and said, "This flower is called the Cold Star Flower, and its flower language is an unchanging heart."
