Su Jin glanced down at the door, her eyes, which had been full of affection, now showing a hint of indifference.
The Hero's Manor has come knocking on our door?
Su Jin's lower lip curled slightly, the sarcasm outweighing the smile.
She still remembered the woman in yellow rushing in and shouting without any explanation: Su Jinxia killed their disciples.
How ridiculous!
Su Jin slowly got out of bed, put on her shoes, went to the screen, and peeked inside.
Shen Qianxue... um... is... reflecting on her mistakes in meditation?
"What’s wrong with you?"
Her soft, sweet voice, tinged with a touch of coquettishness and a hint of huskiness, asked with concern.
Shen Qianxue's back, which had finally relaxed, stiffened again.
What's wrong with him? He gets distracted just by hearing Su Jinxia's voice.
It wasn't this intense before!
Shen Qianxue pondered deeply, wondering if it was because they had been separated for too long.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder; that's probably the feeling.
The longing and worry of many days transformed into a surge of enthusiasm that became unstoppable.
That seems to make sense.
Shen Qianxue comforted herself, refusing to admit that he was like a lecherous man with a mind full of romantic fantasies.
He snapped out of his daze, saw Su Jin's bright, sparkling eyes, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He couldn't resist the urge to go over and pull her into his arms, kissing her passionately.
However, the timing wasn't right, so he had to control it.
But what if he can't control her? She's his woman, why should he try to control her?
It felt as if two little people were fighting fiercely inside Shen Qianxue's heart.
Su Jin tilted her head slightly, a little puzzled, wondering what Shen Qianxue was thinking about standing there all by herself.
Outside, another group of people arrived, led by a woman in white who was strikingly beautiful.
She held a sword in her hand, her chin slightly raised, and there was a hint of arrogance between her brows.
The woman in yellow and the others bowed respectfully and called out in unison, "Young Miss."
Xia Yinyin, the daughter of the owner of Xia Ke Manor, glanced at everyone indifferently and asked with a slightly stern expression, "Where is Su Jinxia? Have you found her yet?"
The surprise on the woman in yellow's face hadn't faded yet when she hurriedly reported, "The Phoenix Lord is inside!"
Xia Yinyin was startled, her eyes filled with more joy than surprise. "Qianxue? He's here?"
The woman in yellow nodded hesitantly, unsure how to describe what she had just witnessed.
Xia Yinyin also realized, "You mean, the Phoenix Lord and Su Jinxia are together?"
The woman in yellow nodded and said, "It seems so."
After all, she didn't see the people Su Jin had sent down.
Xia Yinyin looked at the woman in yellow with a puzzled expression, who hesitated and couldn't explain herself clearly for a long time.
The Phoenix Lord's door was right in front of her. Xia Yinyin was too lazy to argue with her, so she simply knocked on the door. A clear and pleasant voice sounded gently and politely: "Is Brother Qianxue inside?"
Shen Qianxue, who was torn between her inner turmoil and her own emotions, heard the voices outside. She sighed, her enthusiasm completely extinguished by the intervention of outsiders.
Shen Qianxue took a deep breath, flicked her sleeves, composed herself, and walked to Su Jinxia's side. Her gaze fell on the door, and she asked softly, "What's going on?"
Su Jin shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't know either."
Shen Qianxue looked puzzled, glanced at Su Jinxia, and didn't quite believe her words.
This little guy has so many things on his mind, but he rarely speaks the truth.
Taking Su Jinxia's hand, Shen Qianxue led her to open the door.
Xia Yinyin was overjoyed to see Shen Qianxue's face, but the next second she saw Shen Qianxue and Su Jin's hands clasped tightly together.
Her smile froze on her face, and Xia Yinyin's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Shen Qianxue was extremely indifferent, her indifference tinged with displeasure as she asked, "What's going on?"
Xia Yinyin then remembered the real reason she came here. She glared at Su Jinxia with wide eyes, poked her finger in front of Su Jinxia's eyes, and angrily said, "She murdered Xia Yang!"
Shen Qianxue looked down at Su Jinxia.
Su Jin thought for a moment, "Oh! You mean that bastard who harassed the girl in the street? He's dead? I only kicked him a few times to save the girl, and he died?"
Xia Yinyin was furious, her eyes flashing with ferocity as she said sharply, "Who are you calling dead! Don't blame me for being rude to you for spouting such nonsense!"
Su Jin looked wronged. "Didn't you say I killed him? He's not dead! How can you say I killed him if he's not dead?"
Xia Yinyin...
"He's not dead, but you hurt him. He fell seriously ill after going back home. You must have done something to him. Confess to me right now what you did! If anything really happens to Yangyang, you won't live!"
Xia Yinyin excitedly stepped forward, almost spitting saliva onto Su Jinxia's face.
Su Jinxia was very disgusted and silently hid behind Shen Qianxue.
Xia Yang is the only son of the owner of Xia Ke Manor, so anything involving his life is no small matter.
Shen Qianxue, protecting Su Jin, said calmly, "Since there is no evidence, Miss Xia, it would be best not to jump to conclusions. We will go back with you to check on Xia Yang's condition."
Xia Yinyin was stunned for a moment. She and Shen Qianxue had known each other since childhood. Although they hadn't met often, Shen Qianxue always called her Yinyin or Miss Yinyin when she visited Xia Ke Manor.
How did she turn into Miss Xia?
Xia Yinyin felt a little flustered and somewhat stifled.
"Miss Xia, please lead the way," Shen Qianxue said softly.
"Huh?" Xia Yinyin smiled awkwardly. "Brother Qianxue, what are you saying? You can't possibly not find Xia Ke Manor, can you?"
Shen Qianxue's expression remained unchanged. "Then... shall I lead the way?"
Xia Yinyin...
"No, no need, I'll take it, I'll take it."
Su Jin hid behind Shen Qianxue, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound, feeling really uncomfortable.
He could only silently complain to himself: "Yinyin just wants to travel with Qianxue, why is it so difficult?"
Xia Yinyin was dissatisfied. She glanced at Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue's still clasped hands and reluctantly went ahead to lead the way.
Su Jinxia and Shen Qianxue walked slowly behind.
Su Jin felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her little fingers tapping against Shen Qianxue's palm as she looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Shen Qianxue's heart, which had finally calmed down, began to ripple again. She tightened her grip on Su Jin's mischievous little hand and gave her a warning glare.
Su Jin stuck out her tongue, looking like she wanted to stir up trouble.
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth inwardly.
What a troublesome little devil.
Fengcheng is a large city, and Xia Ke Manor is located in the southwest of the city, covering an area of nearly ten acres.
The group arrived at the main house.
In Xia Yang's room, the manor lord Xia Lingyun was pacing anxiously. Several doctors surrounded Xia Yang's bedside, but they were all helpless and had not even been able to find the cause of the illness.
"Father!"
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xia Yinyin spoke up anxiously and ran forward.
Xia Lingyun hurriedly went out and immediately saw Shen Qianxue, who had just entered the courtyard. He was too conspicuous and eye-catching in the crowd.
"Nephew! What brings you here?" Xia Lingyun was very surprised and went up to greet him personally.
