"Madam Xue, are you alright?"
Hearing the deep, powerful voice behind her, Feng Guang quickly stood up straight, stepped out of the man's embrace, and said, "Sorry."
Looking up again, one sees a man with a sculpted face, distinct features, and unparalleled handsomeness. His long, narrow peach blossom eyes are full of affection, so captivating that one could easily fall for him.
He was dressed in a dark purple robe, understated yet luxurious. His slight smile was more captivating than any worldly splendor. He said, "The cats here are wild. Were you frightened, Madam?"
"I'm fine...May I ask who you are, sir?"
He smiled, “I am Dongfang Ye, and I am the master of this place.”
"So you are Valley Master Dongfang." Feng Guang had thought Dongfang Ye would be at least thirty or forty, but he looked to be just over twenty. After a brief moment of surprise, she bowed and said, "Thank you for taking us in these past few days, Valley Master."
"No need to be polite. Anyone who obtains the right to reside in the Valley of Old Friends is entitled to my protection. However, Madam Xue, I wonder what your plans are for the future?"
What are your plans? Her eyes dimmed, and she couldn't think of a single option. "I... Valley Master, please don't call me Madam Xue anymore. I can't bear the title of Madam Xue."
"Then... Miss Xia?" Dongfang Ye called out tentatively.
Feng Guang nodded. "The Valley Master asked me what my plans were, but I don't know. Perhaps, after Senior Sun recovers from his injuries, I will ask Qingyu if he would be willing to return to the Sword Breaking Pavilion with me."
"As far as I know, there is no one left in the Sword Breaking Tower."
"It's alright. Even if there's no one left, the house will still be there." She smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps we should thank Xue Ran. When he said he was going to destroy Zhejianlou, he didn't say he would burn the house down as well. Well, leaving the house would allow the mourners to see the things and remember their loved ones, causing them unbearable pain. That was his way of doing it."
“Miss Xia, you can also stay in the Valley of Old Friends.”
"Never mind, staying here will only make me think of him more. Maybe I can slowly forget him when I return to Jiangnan. Valley Master Dongfang, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to rest first." After saying this, Feng Guang bowed again before turning to leave.
A faint sigh drifted through the wind from Dongfang Ye.
Because of Qingyu's presence, Sun Yidao's injuries are healing at a very good speed. Moreover, because he lost his right hand, Qingyu and Fengguang have been feeding him these days, taking good care of him. But this morning, instead of the two people who greeted him with smiles, he was met with two people with cold expressions.
Qingyu was the first to express her dissatisfaction: "I already told you that you can't drink alcohol during this period, but you still drank. Now look what happened, you'll have to stay in bed for a while longer."
Feng Guang added, "I'm telling you, you're already this old, how come you can't control your mouth?"
Sun Yidao shouted, "I really only took one sip, just one sip."
"Is this a single sip?" Feng Guang pointed to the empty wine bottle lying on the side of the bed.
"I don't know how this thing ended up with me, but I really only took a sip of wine. You won't believe me, just look!" Sun Yidao took his wine gourd out from under his pillow. "This is my stockpile from the past few days. I've been shrewdly drinking it these past few days!"
"Fine! You still have some hidden away, confiscated!" Feng Guang snatched the gourd of wine from his hand. "Follow the doctor's orders, understand? If I say you can't drink, then you can't drink!"
Sun Yidao was so angry he wanted to pound his chest. With only a small sip a day, his injuries had been improving over the past month. How could they suddenly worsen today?
He glared angrily at the wine bottle on the ground, shouting, "Who's framing me?!"
