Chapter 1867 [Shangxie] is just a mission
The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and the moisture of waterfalls.
Xia Fuyi sat in front of the tombstone, from the cool dawn to the evening when the sky was filled with sunset glow.
She sat with her back against the tombstone for such a long time without saying a word, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
She finally stood up slowly, holding on to the tombstone, and walked back the way she came carefully and slowly.
The girl's figure was outlined by the sunset, slender and thin, and reflected in a pair of eyes looking down, just like the back of the man who did not get the desired result many years ago and finally turned away silently from the bluestone hall.
Like a wounded wolf cub, fragile yet tough, stubborn yet lonely.
The man quietly watched the figure disappear from his sight, then spoke softly,
"How's the cleaning going on?"
"It's almost done,"
Zhan Luoying, who had been waiting silently and not daring to speak, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, it will take at least a month to fully recover from the poisonous damage."
"What about your eyes? When will they recover?"
"I'm not sure about that..."
Zhan Luoying hesitated for a moment and said,
"The speed of eye recovery is closely related to a person's mental state. If she is unhappy all day, her recovery may be slower, otherwise it will be much faster."
The man was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly.
"It's fine if she doesn't see it for the rest of her life."
His voice was still elegant and graceful, with a hint of nonchalance, but the content of his words gave Zhan Luoying a shock.
The sect leader said no more and turned to go into the room on the cliff.
Only when his figure disappeared did Zhan Luoying let out a long sigh.
He looked down and saw the tombstone standing quietly at the junction of darkness and sunset, beside the lake below the waterfall.
He looked at the monument for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Fuyi has been sitting in front of Fuyan's grave for a while every day these days.
Still doing nothing and saying nothing, she seemed to just come here to stare blankly, usually sitting there for most of the day.
That day, she came here as usual, but found that there was another person breathing by the lake.
She stood still, listened attentively, and said,
"Falling flowers."
"It's me."
The man in red smiled faintly and shook the wine jug in his hand towards her in Lancui Pavilion.
"Come and have a drink."
The eyes under the cloth blinked, Xia Fuyi raised her foot and walked over, slowly and accurately stepping over the bluestones spaced apart on the water, walked into the pavilion and sat down.
"How's your power recovery going?"
Zhan Luoying poured wine into the cup and pushed it in front of her.
Xia Fuyi did not drink, she just lowered her head and clenched her palms, and said softly,
"About half."
"That's better than I expected. I thought it would take at least a month for you to recover."
Zhan Luoying raised his head and drank, but Xia Fuyi paused slightly.
She was silent for a moment, then raised her head, and looked at Zhan Luoying with her eyes covered with cloth.
"I haven't asked you yet, why did the Sect Master want to kill Li Chi?"
Zhan Luoying swallowed a mouthful of wine and said after a moment,
"I'm not going to kill him. That's all I can tell you. As for why I wanted to kill him..."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly,
"It's just a task I received from my employer."
"What kind of mission would actually require the entire Tianji Sect's combat power, and require the Sect Master and you to go in person?"
Zhan Luoying fell silent.
After a moment, Xia Fuyi said lightly,
"I can't just say it."
She raised her hand and drank the wine in the glass, but when Zhan Luoying was about to pour her a second glass, she stopped him.
