The sun shone on the bustling market, and a few people, accompanied by Yuan Shuyi and Gu Yufei, shuttled through the crowd.

Gu Yufei and Rong Hua walked side by side, chatting and laughing, as if they were a pair of good friends who had known each other for a long time. Their movements were natural, and their mutual understanding and relaxed and happy mood made everyone around them feel their harmony.

Yuan Shuyi looked at Gu Yufei's profile and her eyes darkened.

She felt a little unhappy. She hadn't brought Gu Yufei here to let her enjoy herself. Now...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shuyi did not forget to secretly pay attention to Rong Hao's every move.

Her eyes sometimes fell on Rong Hao, sometimes turned to Gu Yufei, as if she was searching for something. Her expression was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of deep thought and vigilance.

Rong Hao maintained his impassive expression, his gaze fixed on Gu Yufei. His eyes were filled with doubt and inquiry, as if he was trying to find the answer from her words and actions. His movements were steady and powerful, each step firm and resolute.

Gu Yufei also felt Rong Hao's gaze, and she tried to stay away from Rong Hao to avoid getting into trouble.

Rong Hua brought Gu Yufei to a small stall selling jewelry. She bent down slightly, her fingers lightly touching the various jewelry on the stall. He asked, "Miss Yufei, which of these do you like?"

Gu Yufei's eyes swept across the stall and stopped at an exquisite bracelet. A hint of liking flashed in her eyes, but she quickly looked away.

Rong Hua caught the favor in her eyes, and he picked up the bracelet without hesitation and said to the boss, "I want this one." His voice was firm and generous, and his movements were neat and quick.

Gu Yufei watched his actions, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that Rong Hua's loyalty and generosity were his silent expression of concern for her.

"Thank you, Mr. Hua." Gu Yufei said with a smile.

The few of them advanced at different speeds, and soon they dispersed to play.

At this time, a familiar fragrance came.

Gu Yufei turned around and was surprised to see a familiar profile walking towards her.

This person is the original body’s master’s wife.

But, didn't she die?

A strong feeling from memory came over Gu Yufei, and before she had time to think about it in detail, she blurted out: "Mr. Hua, wait here for me, I need to go to the toilet!"

"Ah? Miss Yufei..." When Rong Hua turned around, Gu Yufei had already run far away.

Why does that person look so similar to Master’s wife?

But wasn't my wife already... a few years ago...

Gu Yufei followed closely behind.

The figure walked very fast and it was obvious that he was a martial artist.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the dense forest.

That person only resembles her. How could Master's wife still be alive?

Gu Yufei felt as if her heart was pierced by a sharp knife, it was extremely painful. After resting for a while, she returned the same way.

"Sir Shangguan, everything is done." A cold voice came.

Shangguan?

Gu Yufei quickly stopped and hid behind a big rock.

She peeked in secretly and saw two men talking with their backs to her.

One of them, dressed in green and with an elegant demeanor, was a figure Gu Yufei knew all too well—Shangguan Qing, her senior apprentice. It was as if time had flown back; fifteen years had left no trace on him. He remained as handsome and graceful as ever, his face ageless.

Gu Yufei's heart was pounding, and the item in her hand almost dropped to the ground. Memories of her past as a disciple flooded back, and that unforgettable past almost suffocated her.

At this moment, a complex mix of emotions churned within her. She wanted to turn around and run away, never to face the past again.

Gu Yufei tried hard to calm herself down and quietly retreated.
