The four people walked slowly outside.

Jiang Zhi looked at the bone chain that was wrapped around her wrist several times, and paused for a moment. She looked back and saw only a ruin. Thick smoke was spreading everywhere. The sun in the sky slowly showed half of its head, and there was a rosy glow in the distance.

She clenched the bone chain in her hand and put it into her storage space.

Jiang Zhi turned around and left with the others.

They walked to the entrance of the village and heard the voices of villagers talking behind them.

"You really don't need to worry about it?" Liang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi said indifferently: "Don't worry about it, let's go."

"They only dare to talk, I'm afraid they dare not take action against us." Xichen Jingqing said indifferently.

The three men left the village.

Inside the inn.

The three of them treated their own wounds. Jiang Zhi fed the monk a pill to treat internal injuries and then returned to his room to heal.

Jiang Zhi sat cross-legged on the bed and used his spiritual power to heal his wounds.

The next day, the five of them got together for dinner.

Xiao Xu saw that their faces were much paler than the first day.

"Your Highness, where did you go yesterday?" Xiao Xu asked in surprise.

"It's okay. I went to take care of some things." Xichen Jingqing said casually.

Xiao Xu has to take care of Tianma, so he usually lives in Tianma's carriage. He has established his foundation and usually does not need to eat. However, he has to set off again today, so Xichen Jingqing asked him to come and have a meal together.

"Your Highness, can you continue to ride Pegasus in this situation?" Xiao Xu asked with a sigh. He knew that His Royal Highness the Prince must have gone out to fight. Although returning to the Western Regions was urgent, His Royal Highness's health was more important.

"Then let's rest here for a few days before leaving." Xichen Jingqing said.

The monk took a big sip of apricot wine and said slowly, "Everyone, I will not be with you later."

As he spoke, he also looked at Jiang Zhi: "Donor Jiang, I have completed what I promised you, but the fate between me and Donor Jiang should not be severed yet."

"I said, if you want to leave, just leave. I won't force you to stay. If you want to stay, I'll welcome you anytime." Jiang Zhi said indifferently, but she did regard the monk as a friend.

The monk smiled faintly.

"Monk, do you know something about the female ghost sister?" Jiang Zhi asked.

The monk looked at Jiang Zhi's dark eyes and his expression paused slightly. Because he was helping the female ghost sister purify the nails, the girl seemed to regard him as someone to confide in.

He spoke slowly, "You probably have guessed a little about Miss Shi's story. When she was young, she was deceived by Master Xu into falling in love with her. But Master Xu was attracted by her family's recipe for apricot blossom wine. Yes, this apricot blossom wine belongs to the Shi family. The Shi family gradually became wealthy with this recipe, and the villagers were naturally jealous. They slaughtered the entire Shi family and activated the formation to change their luck. No villager came out to stop it. The villagers' silence was tacit consent, so the villagers of the entire Xinghua Village are burdened with this bad fate, and their luck will definitely plummet in the future."

Xichen Jingqing tutted his words softly: "No wonder, even though such a big thing happened in the Xu Mansion, no villagers came to stop it, and they only dared to discuss it later."

After listening to this, Jiang Zhi fell silent. Although the monk only briefly mentioned the slaughter of the sect and the design of the formation, she thought of the nails on the ghost girl's body and her dead appearance. The pain and torture they suffered could not be explained in a few words.

"Monk, where are you going next?" Jiang Zhi asked with concern, "I'll give you some money for the wine, as my reward to you."

The monk smiled and said, "Donor Jiang, that's not necessary. I like to be clean-handed, so I regard the world as my home. Wherever I go is the place. I just let the wine come and go as fate would have it."

Jiang Zhi raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, then it's up to you."

"Liang Sheng, what about you?" Jiang Zhi said and then turned his eyes to look at Liang Sheng, "Do you want to leave?"

Liangsheng just said calmly: "I will always follow Zhizhi."

Jiang Zhi paused and said helplessly: "It doesn't matter, just like a monk, if you want to stay, I welcome you, and if you want to leave in the future, I won't stop you."

"Yeah." Liang Sheng just responded softly, without saying anything to prove that he would always follow Jiang Zhi.

Just show it in action.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, Miss Shi asked me to tell you something." The monk said slowly, "She is really happy to have you by her side. She likes you very much and hopes that your future will remain as bright as you are."

Jiang Zhi paused, then smiled softly: "I know."

The monk took a big sip of wine and said, "I was born at the wrong time."

A few people were about to leave. The monk waved to Jiang Zhi and the others and said, "See you again if we are lucky."

"Well, see you again if we're lucky." Jiang Zhi also responded.

Xichen Jingqing also waved his hand and said, "If you want to drink, you can come to me. I'll pay for all the drinks."

Liang Sheng just waved and said goodbye to the other party silently.

The monk turned and left, remembering what Miss Shi had said to him that night.

"Monk, do you know what it feels like to like someone?"

"I'm afraid I don't know and can't answer you, young lady."

“To like someone means to like her warmth, her indulgence, her gentleness, her brightness, and all the little things about her.”

"Miss Shi seems to really like her."

"Well, I like her a lot and I want to kiss her, but I will never kiss her."

"Miss Shi is very rational."

"No, I pretended to be scared because she felt bad for me. I pretended to be scared so that she could hug me and I wanted to be closer to her."

"Miss Shi..."

"Monk, if I can't wake up, can you let me return to my original most beautiful appearance when I die?"

...Finally she woke up, but she didn't want to live anymore.

Memories were like a tide that drowned her. She had to pay with her life because of her. The family secret recipe was given away. It was all her fault. She believed the Xu family. Her parents died because of her, and several members of the Shi family were killed.

The monk walked forward, shook the wine jug in his hand, and laughed out loud: "What a good wine!"

Jiang Zhi and his group were also ready to set off.

Xiao Xu led the Pegasus out, Xichen Jingqing hooked Jiang Zhi's neck and walked towards the carriage: "Let's go, let's continue!"

Jiang Zhi nodded: "Yeah."

Liang Sheng followed them and got on the carriage.

The Pegasus continued to fly into the sky and headed far away.

Along the way, Xichen Jingqing started competing with Jiang Zhi in an animal pet knowledge contest.

Liang Sheng means practicing meditation with eyes closed.
