Shen Qianxue was bewildered. This was clearly his home, so why were Su Jinxia's figures everywhere?
A sudden, violent churning in her chest caused Shen Qianxue to clench her teeth and swallow the metallic taste in her throat.
Suddenly, he felt dizzy and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the guard was still watching Shen Qianxue and flew up in time to catch her.
"Go and inform Captain Chen immediately!"
Soon, everyone gathered in Shen Qianxue's courtyard.
Lu Ming was not there, so only the servant took Shen Qianxue's pulse and treated her. After a while, the servant said, "It's a high fever caused by wind and cold. I'll go and brew some medicine now."
Mai Zizi stayed by the bedside, looking at Shen Qianxue's pale face with heartache. "How could this happen? I've never seen Brother Qianxue sick in my entire life."
Shen Xi left the room thoughtfully and went to a secluded place, saying, "Come out."
Qu Yi emerged from the shadows.
"What happened? Where did the young master go?" Shen Xi asked anxiously.
“Liuli Mountain,” Qu Yi replied.
Shen Xi sighed, "I knew it. The only one who could have done this to the young master is Su Jin! What happened between them?"
Qu Yi sighed, "Because of Yang Jiaoruo's matter, Su Jinxia broke ties with the young master."
In fact, Qu Yi overheard everything Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia discussed, but he wouldn't have said it without Shen Qianxue's permission.
Is it really true, as Su Jinxia said, that it was all a deception from beginning to end?
Qu Yi didn't know, nor did he want to know. He only understood one thing: if Shen Qianxue believed, he believed; if Shen Qianxue didn't believe, he didn't believe.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi looked dejected. How many times had Shen Xi hoped that Su Jinxia would break up with Shen Qianxue and stop influencing Shen Qianxue's judgment? But now that the day had come, Shen Xi felt no joy, only a heavy heart.
Shen Xi returned to the room, and Qu Yi disappeared into the shadows again. Through the window, he could see Shen Qianxue on the bed.
Shen Qianxue unconsciously tugged at her belt, at the spot where she used to wear her jade pendant.
Qu Yi thought: The young master must be heartbroken to have broken the jade.
Qu Yi didn't know where this jade came from, but he saw Shen Qianxue often holding it in her hand and playing with it when no one was around, and she cherished it very much.
Once, Qu Yi asked Shen Qianxue curiously why she didn't wear the jade.
Shen Qianxue said she was afraid of falling again.
Qu Yi also didn't know where the word "again" came from.
This time, when entering Liuli Mountain, Shen Qianxue carefully put on the jade pendant, and Qu Yi understood that the jade was related to Su Jinxia.
But in the end, he still fell, he fell with his own hands.
How painful it must be to smash something you once cherished with your own hands!
Shen Qianxue had many people taking care of her, so Mai Zizi could only sit aside and worry about it. She pulled Shen Xi out of the room and said, "Take me to Liuli Mountain."
Shen Xi hesitated for a moment.
Mai Zizi grabbed his hand and said seriously, "You said before that Su Jin was stationed in the military camp and that it was too far to go, but now she's in Liuli Mountain, so you can't refuse me, can you?"
"What were you doing there? Young Master has already broken ties with Su Jin, you shouldn't get involved."
Mai Zizi was a little anxious. "I'll go and explain to Su Jin, and make things clear to her. You men are all so temperamental, always so unclear, causing so many misunderstandings."
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened between Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia, Mai Zizi could guess a few things.
It's nothing more than two opposing armies and Shen Qianxue rescuing Yang Jiaoruo. As long as we are patient and communicate well, everything can be explained clearly!
Shen Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll take you there."
Shen Xi thought that if Mai Zizi could ease the tension between Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia, Shen Qianxue would be better off and wouldn't be in such a state as if the world had collapsed.
——
"My lord, someone from the foot of the mountain requests an audience," a disciple of the Liuli Society reported.
"Who is it?" Su Jin lay face down on the map, her expression very focused. Her newly formulated prevention and control plan for Liuli Mountain was about to be completed.
“She said her name was Mai Zizi,” the disciple said.
Su Jin paused, then looked up. "Is she alone?"
"There's also a man with him, quite handsome, but he's carrying a sword and has a very sharp aura. He must be a top expert." This disciple had never left the mountain and didn't know Shen Xi, but as soon as he said that, Su Jin guessed it.
Su Jin lowered her head again and said calmly, "I won't see them. Let them go back."
"Yes!" The disciple withdrew to deliver the message.
Su Jin turned her gaze back to the map, but couldn't concentrate at all.
"Sigh!" With a sigh, Su Jin put down her pen, got up and walked out.
Down the mountain, the disciple said to Mai Zizi, "Our master said he will not see you, please go back."
Did you tell her that my name is Mai Zizi?
"I told them, but the Lord says he won't see me!"
"Why? Why won't she see me?" Mai Zizi couldn't understand and shouted angrily, "Su Jinxia, come out here! Brother Qianxue is sick, what did you do to him? How could you be so heartless as to refuse to even see me!"
Shen Xi pulled back the agitated Mai Zizi, "Alright, since she doesn't want to see us, we won't force her. Let's go!"
Mai Zizi was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. "I won't leave. I must see her!"
"Perhaps she has her own reasons, and our pressure will not help," Shen Xi advised softly.
Mai Zizi looked at Shen Xi with a strange expression.
In the past, when this happened, Shen Xi would have been the first to jump out and blame Su Jin for cruelly hurting Shen Qianxue. Why is she speaking up for Su Jin this time?
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Mai Zizi suddenly asked, tilting her head.
"Huh?" Shen Xi was a little confused by Mai Zizi's train of thought, but when she thought about the matter of Liuli Blood, she couldn't help but feel guilty. "N-nothing, let's go back quickly, maybe the young master has already woken up."
After thinking for a while, Mai Zizi finally stamped her foot and left.
On the mountain, Su Jin silently watched the two of them.
Is Shen Qianxue sick?
Is the illness serious?
He's always been in good health, and with Lu Ming around, he should be fine...
It took three days for Shen Xi and Mai Zizi to talk back and forth. Shen Qianxue not only woke up, but was even preparing to leave.
Fortunately, the two returned before leaving.
Mai Zizi rushed to the front and asked worriedly, "Brother Qianxue, are you better? Why are you leaving so soon?"
Shen Qianxue's complexion was not good, but his posture remained as upright as ever. He said calmly, "The army has been stationed at Qilin Pass for a long time. If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"Huh?" When it comes to military campaigns, Mai Zizi knows absolutely nothing.
Shen Qianxue looked at Shen Xi and coldly ordered, "Shen Xi, come with me immediately and return to your post from today!"
Shen Xi immediately straightened his face and accepted the order, saying, "Yes!"
"Mai Zizi, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of Phoenix Pavilion even half a step, otherwise, the guards will bring you their heads!" Shen Qianxue continued to give the order.
Mai Zizi's heart skipped a beat. "Why? I want to go with you too?"
