Judging from the look in Master Wangchen's eyes, she truly liked Su Jinxia.
The young nun pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
The nun glanced at her and said, "Say what you want to say."
The young nun grinned. "I've always noticed that you prefer girls. If you had given birth to a girl, would you still have been willing to leave her?"
The nun was deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She gently shook her head.
"I can't bear to part with her, how could I? A girl should be cherished and protected throughout her life. I can't bear to part with Qianxue either..."
After entering Phoenix Pavilion, Fangfei never wanted to leave, but it was because she was pregnant with Shen Qianxue that she was delayed for nearly ten years.
Even so, she still felt deeply guilty towards Shen Qianxue.
Fangfei left, seemingly having given up everything and entered the Buddhist order, but whenever she thought of her child, her heart ached terribly.
Her master kept telling her that she had not yet severed her worldly ties and her karmic ties were not yet over.
At the time, she was unconvinced and thought she could forget everything, but now it seems that her master had a discerning eye.
Su Hu stood outside the carriage, facing the howling wind, and gently curled the corners of his lips. Thank goodness, thank goodness Ah Jin can still be saved, so there is hope for the future.
At the same time, Su Hu was also filled with lingering fear.
Just as Su Hu had placed the dried wood powder near Su Jinxia's mouth and was about to feed her, Abbess Wangchen appeared.
Wang Chen was the original mistress of Phoenix Pavilion. She was brought here with utmost respect, and everyone was shocked when the door was opened.
Without saying a word, she went to Su Jinxia's side, observed Su Jinxia's condition, and fed her a spiritual pill.
She said that she and Su Jinxia had known each other for a long time and she knew Su Jinxia's situation very well. A year ago, she started to refine medicine specifically for Su Jinxia's condition.
This medicine won't make Su Jin live a long and healthy life, but it will keep her alive for the time being.
Furthermore, the nun stated that the root of the Glazed Gu lies in the Withered and Flourishing Tree, and that to save Su Jinxia, one needs to go to the place where the Withered and Flourishing Tree grows.
Su Hu immediately wanted to take Su Jin back to Liuli Mountain, but Shen Qianxue stopped him.
If word gets out about Su Jinxia's current appearance, it will definitely cause a stir. Since Zhou Ji has people in Phoenix Pavilion, they should find a way to resolve this concern.
The last time Zhou Ji's bodyguards were exposed, it implicated a whole bunch of Zhou Ji's people.
But Shen Qianxue knew that Zhou Ji had been deeply involved in Phoenix Pavilion for more than ten years, and it was impossible that he had only arranged this one line of communication. There must be other people of his in the pavilion.
Therefore, Shen Qianxue arranged for Su Jinxia to fake her death, which would both help find the spies in Phoenix Pavilion and allow Su Jinxia to focus on her treatment.
Inside Phoenix Pavilion, Shen Qianxue sat in her room, watching the candlelight flicker between light and shadow.
Fifteen years later, he saw his mother again.
Fifteen years, that's a really long time. So long that Shen Qianxue felt like she had experienced all the ups and downs of life, but Fangfei was still the same as Shen Qianxue remembered.
She hardly aged; in fact, she was even more gentle and beautiful than I remembered.
In my memory, although she was very gentle, there was always a deep sorrow between her brows.
She has gained the freedom she longed for, so she must have been very happy these past few years.
Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks...
Shen Qianxue felt that he should be magnanimous and bless her, and be happy for her, but why was it always him? Why did he have to be the sensible one, the one who could let go?
Everyone thought Shen Qianxue should be invincible and strong, but no one knew that he was very vulnerable and insecure.
He longed for reciprocation in his love, yet he always found himself unable to receive it.
Lu Ming pulled Fang Fei close and poured out his longing for her over the years. If time allowed, he estimated he could have talked for three days and three nights.
Shen Qianxue, however, was speechless. He feared that if he spoke, his words would be hurtful...
Fangfei only glanced at him a few times without saying a word.
They are the closest people to each other, yet they are more distant than strangers.
The candle burned out, and Shen Qianxue collapsed on the cold ground, letting the darkness engulf him.
——
In Lin'nan, Zhou Ji paced anxiously in his palace, unable to sleep all night.
Finally, his subordinates returned.
Zhou Ji hurriedly went to greet him, anxiously asking, "How is it?"
The subordinate reported anxiously, "Su Jinxia is dead, and the whereabouts of the Gu Mother are unknown. We can only obtain Liuli Blood from Su Jinxia's corpse."
The subordinate took out a small bottle from the bottle, the mouth of which was still stained with some blood.
Zhou Ji took two steps back in fright, staring at the blood in disbelief. "A corpse? Didn't I say I'd find a chance to get the Glazed Blood before Su Jinxia died?"
The subordinate lowered his head and explained, "Our spies said that Su Jinxia was taken directly back to the medicine shed. The whole courtyard was guarded for a day and a night, but they couldn't find an opportunity until Su Jinxia died. They could only... Fortunately, they buried Su Jinxia directly, and the blood hadn't congealed yet, so we still managed to get the blood. However, we don't know if this blood still has any special power."
Zhou Ji clutched his chest, looking conflicted.
After days of running around, Zhou Ji's health was already failing, and Su Jin kicked him twice more, making him feel like his life was slipping away rapidly.
The medical officer said that his condition was no longer just a heart problem, but had also caused weakness in various aspects of his body.
Previously, Shen Qianxue had searched for medicinal herbs from various places for him, which prevented his health from deteriorating. However, recently he has been running around non-stop, and his health is getting worse and worse.
The Gu Mother has disappeared without a trace, and it is still unknown who the next Glass Gu will be. Even if it is known, the Glass Society will definitely protect the Glass Master as soon as possible. It will be extremely difficult for Zhou Ji to obtain Glass Blood!
