Su Jinxia gently shook her head. "No, it's not because of Shen Qianxue, but because... I don't have many days left to live."
Su Hu staggered back a step, refusing to believe it. "How is this possible? How old are you? You've only been the Lord of Glazed Glass for a few years! This is impossible!"
Su Jinxia's expression darkened. "That's the truth. I'm afraid I won't feel anything by then, so..." Su Jinxia got out of bed, picked up the small medicine bottle, and then took Su Hu's hand, placing the small medicine bottle in his hand. "So I can only ask you for help with this."
A crystal tear fell "plop" onto the back of Su Jinxia's hand. Su Jinxia looked up and saw that Su Hu's eyes were full of tears.
Su Jinxia gently reached out and hugged Su Hu, "Don't be sad, this is my fate."
Su Hu hugged Su Jin tightly, tears streaming down his face.
Only God knows that during the years he was stationed at Liuli Mountain, he missed Su Jinxia every day.
Every time he passed by Su Jin's house, he would stop for a long time, reminiscing about the happy times they had when they were children.
He longed to fight alongside Su Jinxia, but he couldn't. He could only hope that once the world was at peace, Su Jinxia would return, and then they could be together all the time again.
During this time, Su Jinxia stayed at the Liuli Society and didn't go anywhere else. He was incredibly happy. Even though Su Jinxia was very busy, he could only silently accompany her and take care of her, which made life much more interesting.
But why, why did it turn out like this!
Su Jin didn't let go immediately. She hugged Su Hu and gently patted his back until his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Brother Tiger, I'm scared of dying, but I'm even more scared that you won't be able to live well. So promise me, help me fulfill my last wish, okay?"
Su Hu pursed his lips, suppressing the urge to burst into tears, and nodded vigorously.
Su Jinxia smiled faintly and continued the previous topic: "After the Gu Mother dies, there may be two situations. The first is that the seed Gu will perish, but I think that is unlikely, because when the Gu Mother was restrained by the Forget-Me-Not Grass, her power disappeared, but the seed Gu was not affected at all. The second is that the seed Gu will continue to exist, and the power of the seed Gu can continue to be used. In that case, without the Gu Mother to restrain it, the Liuli Society may be in chaos."
“I have already instructed Fengmian and personally drafted an order, appointing you to take charge of the Liuli Society after my death. At that time, there may be some people who are dissatisfied and even run amok outside by relying on the power of the Zi Gu. You can use the Forget-Me-Not Grass to suppress them and eliminate the power of the Zi Gu in their bodies. When Fengmian has completely developed the antidote and the world is at peace, do your best to eradicate the Liuli Gu from this world.”
"Moreover, the forget-me-not can suppress the 'child gu' and may also prolong the host's life. If necessary, the forget-me-not can be used to control the 'child gu' and save everyone's lives."
Su Jinxia then took out two more pieces of paper and handed them to Su Hu. “The Forget-Me-Not Grass grows in the secret realm of the Glazed Society, which is also where the Withered and Flourishing Tree grew back then. This is the method for entering and leaving the secret realm and the antidote for the Forget-Me-Not Grass. I am giving it to you. I believe you can lead the Glazed Society to a bright future.”
Su Hu slumped over, took the papers from Su Jinxia's hand, and closed his eyes in anguish.
Su Jin patted Su Hu's arm, "Don't be so discouraged. Get a good night's rest, and you'll come with me to Yuchuan first thing tomorrow morning."
Su Hu took a deep breath. Su Jin knew what he wanted to say, so she gripped his arm tightly and said earnestly, "This is my last wish. I don't want to worry about him even after I die."
Su Hu gritted his teeth, his face contorted in pain. He really didn't want to accept all of this, but in the end, he had no choice but to let Su Jin have his way.
Back in his room, Su Hu collapsed to the ground, leaned against the door, and wept silently.
On this very day, Lu Ming finally returned to Phoenix Pavilion. He had received a letter from Shen Qianxue urgently searching for him, so he rushed back without stopping.
At that time, Shen Qianxue, Mai Zizi, and Shen Xi were eating in the dining room.
In the entire Phoenix Pavilion, only the three of them could get together to eat, but the table was quiet, with only the sounds of chopsticks clinking against plates and swallowing being heard.
Mai Zizi looked left and right, feeling restless, and said, "Brother Qianxue, say something!"
Shen Qianxue glanced at Mai Zizi indifferently and said, "One should not speak while eating."
Mai Zizi...
Unable to do anything about Shen Qianxue, Mai Zizi turned to Shen Xi and secretly poked his arm.
Shen Xi had just returned not long ago. He was targeted by General Hu at Qilin Pass and suffered a great deal of humiliation. He was in a bad mood and had no mood for joking or playing around, so he pretended not to feel Mai Zizi poking him.
Mai Zizi sighed in annoyance, "How boring. I wish Su Jin were here."
The moment Su Jin uttered those three words, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more tense.
Shen Xi paused in her eating and cautiously looked at Shen Qianxue.
No one knows what happened between Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia, not even Qu Yi. In short, the name Su Jinxia has become a taboo in Phoenix Pavilion. Anyone who mentions it will inevitably suffer the deathly pressure from Shen Qianxue.
Mai Zizi sensed it and quickly covered her mouth.
"Thud!"
Shen Qianxue put her chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "I'm full."
Shen Qianxue stood up and strode out of the dining room, bumping right into Lu Ming who was coming from the opposite direction.
Ouch!
Lu Ming was walking too fast and bumped his nose, instantly bringing tears to his eyes. He rubbed his nose, glanced at the people in the room, and immediately asked, "Where's A-Jin? I heard from the messenger that A-Jin's health is abnormal. Where is she now?"
Shen Qianxue's eyes were cold and sharp, a fierce glint flashing across them. "From now on, Su Jinxia and my Phoenix Pavilion, and Shen Qianxue, will have nothing to do with each other. Never let me hear that name again."
"Huh?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
Shen Qianxue had already strode away.
Lu Ming gave Shen Xi a look, and Shen Xi shrugged helplessly, "We don't know what happened either?"
So Lu Ming chased after Shen Qianxue again, and the two of them returned to Shen Qianxue's courtyard.
"Wait for me."
Shen Qianxue walked extremely fast, and Lu Ming couldn't catch up with her.
Shen Qianxue didn't stop moving, as if she was running away from something.
Enraged, Lu Ming stopped in his tracks and shouted, "I've found the secret of the Glazed Gu!"
Shen Qianxue paused for a moment, but then pushed open the door and entered the room, leaving behind the words, "It has nothing to do with me."
Lu Ming stomped his foot in anger, ran to the door in a few strides, and roared, "You won't listen? Fine, I won't say anything. It concerns her life, you'll regret it!"
When Shen Qianxue heard the word "life," his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed it down.
Whether Su Jinxia lives or dies is no longer of any concern to him.
Don't be silly!
As night deepened, Shen Qianxue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. His heart was in turmoil, like a tangled mess of threads.
In the end, Shen Qianxue couldn't help but come to Lu Ming's medicine house.
The lights were still on in the medicine shed, and Lu Ming's shadow was reflected in the window; he hadn't fallen asleep either.
Shen Qianxue pushed open the door and went in. Lu Ming glanced at him but didn't bother to talk to him and continued reading the book in his hand.
