She really didn't understand. If Bai Qiuchen had no feelings for her, why did he take her body that day? If he did, why did he quickly have sex with another woman? The thing she had waited three years for was easily obtained by another person.

She thought, maybe God didn't want her to live easily, so he set challenges for her one after another. She wanted to curse, but she needed Bai Qiuchen's protection, so she could only force a smile.

"Whatever the leader says is what it is. I have no objection."

Bai Qiuchen's eyes showed reluctance. Thinking of Liu Yarou, the woman he had taken away from him, and the woman he had waited so long for, he finally said, "You should have a good rest. Once the marriage is over, I will go to the polar regions to catch ice and fire silkworms to treat your eyes."

Zhao Qingxue was unable to react immediately and asked blankly, "Are you saying that my eyes can be cured?"

"Sure." Bai Qiuchen said affirmatively, "Once the wedding is over and we find the Ice and Fire Silkworm, I will take you to the Divine Doctor Valley."

Zhao Qingxue felt a surge of joy in her heart, and said excitedly, "It's a deal, you can't break your promise."

As long as her eyes can be cured, she will just have one concubine, and she can accept even a few concubines. She can even take them herself, and she won't be angry at all.

Bai Qiuchen was depressed.

Subconsciously, he was conflicted. He hoped that Zhao Qingxue would speak out to stop him, to prove his position in her heart, but he also didn't want his decision to be changed.

He told himself that this was the best outcome.

Seeing Zhao Qingxue happy, he also smiled.

"I won't break my promise. I'm grateful to you for the flower thief incident."

Zhao Qingxue asked about the follow-up of the matter.

The flower thief was named Liu Er, the son of a blacksmith. He had seen many martial artists and developed a yearning for the world of martial arts.

At the age of eight, he picked up a book on the secrets of martial arts and practiced diligently. At the age of nine, in order to make money, he followed a traveling artist for three years and learned the art of voice changing. At the age of fifteen, he killed a wandering monk and obtained the secret book on shrinking bones, which allowed him to easily change his body shape and hide in the crowd. During this period, his fiancée broke off the engagement, and Liu Er, who was not a good person to begin with, turned evil.

He raped and killed his fiancée, and after tasting the sweetness, he attacked more and more innocent women to satisfy his perverted desires.

At that time, all the heroes gathered in Yuezhao City to discuss how to deal with the flower thief. Liu Er, seeking excitement, killed Qin Ge, a disciple of Baihua Villa who was away, peeled off her face, and took her identity in a fair and just manner.

The one who entered the Alliance Leader's Mansion was Qin Ge, played by Liu Er. He saw Zhao Qingxue and also found out that Bai Qiuchen had two helpers.

Wu Daxia has a rough appearance but a heart of a girl. He doesn't like women and only loves men. He is from the same village as Liu Er. He loves Liu Er and is willing to plan for Liu Er.

They worked together to kill the maid who delivered the zither, and then took off their masks. When Wu Daxia went to deliver the zither, he deliberately revealed his flaws to arouse Bai Qiuchen's suspicion, and then bribed the actors to confuse the public.

On the night of the fire, they appeared at the fire scene first and led people away. Liu Er disguised himself as a maid and used false information to get Bai Qiuchen away. Step by step, one thing led to another.

The final outcome was that Wu Daxia was caught after running through several streets. He denied it and kept pestering the man to delay time, while the actor turned around and jumped into the water. It took some time, but he was finally caught.

What's important is the basement of a dilapidated temple in the mountains. In order to satisfy his collecting habit, Liu Er decorated the basement like a pharmacy, with compartments one by one, except that the names of the medicinal materials were changed to the names of the victims, and the time and place of the victimization were recorded in small words below, and the medicinal materials in the drawers were replaced with human tissues.

Fingers, toes, ears, chest hair, etc. are all wrapped in a woman's bellyband.

The evidence was conclusive. Liu Er was whipped after his death. When Wu Daxia heard the news, he was unwilling to accept it and committed suicide. He confessed everything before his death.

Bai Qiuchen said, "You've made great efforts in this matter. I thank you on behalf of the martial arts world. You can make one request, as long as I can fulfill it."

He felt a faint anticipation in his heart.

Should he stay in her room? Zhao Qingxue subconsciously didn't want this to happen. She had hinted at it before, but the leader had refused time and again. She was already humble enough.

She stopped smiling and lowered her eyelids: "Thank you very much, Alliance Leader. I'll tell you when I think it through."

Bai Qiuchen stared at her for a long time, but Zhao Qingxue remained unmoved. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he stood up.

"I still have some chores to take care of, so you should get some rest."

He turned around and walked slowly.

He thought that as long as she asked, he would stay.

However, nothing happened until he left Xueyuan.

He couldn't describe the feeling. He stood at the door of Xueyuan for a long time, telling himself that as long as she came out, he would go back with her.

No one came out.

"Alliance leader, Miss Liu wants you to dine with her."

Bai Qiuchen glanced at Xueyuan again and said, "Let's go."

Willow Courtyard.

Liu Yarou personally prepared four dishes and a soup, and asked the maid to call Bai Qiuchen. After Bai Qiuchen came, she personally helped him wash up.

"Brother Chen, try this jade meatball soup. It was made by Rouer herself." Liu Yarou diligently scooped soup for Bai Qiuchen, revealing the bright red marks on the back of her hand.

Bai Qiuchen had indeed seen it, "Your hand?"

Liu Yarou seemed to have just remembered something, and hid her hands behind her in panic, looking away: "It was an accidental burn, it's nothing serious."

Bai Qiuchen was silent for a moment. "Let the palace doctor take a look later." He then said, "The food in the palace is prepared by the cook. You don't have to work hard. It's not worth hurting your hand."

Liu Yarou smiled sweetly: "We haven't seen each other for four years. I'm so happy and want to let Brother Chen taste my cooking skills."

Seeing that Bai Qiuchen was silent and absent-minded, as if he was worried about something, she continued, "Back then, Rou'er brought Brother Chen out of the mountains. We lived under someone else's roof, not even daring to eat a steamed bun. Now, after all the hardships, we've finally had our happy ending. Rou'er is finally going to have a home."
