Lan Jingtang had no intention of listening to other people's affairs, but the thousand-year-old snow lotus was so rare that he listened to a few more words.
He suddenly remembered that when he first met An Yuan'er, she was also dressed in men's clothing, and everyone called her Young Master An.
Lan Jingtang suddenly had a terrible thought.
He grabbed the waiter urgently and asked, "Which Young Master An?"
The waiter was startled by Lan Jingtang's urgency and stammered, "Who else could it be but Young Master An who often comes to buy medicine? I remember you've seen him before."
Lan Jingtang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Snow lotuses are extremely rare, and it's impossible for two to appear at the same time.
Upon calming down and thinking about it carefully, snow lotuses mostly grow on cliffs, but that cliff on that day didn't seem to be very suitable for snow lotuses to grow.
Moreover, the appearance of the snow lotus that day was too coincidental, as if it was waiting for him, a fanatic of medicinal herbs.
Because of the fall off the cliff, Lan Jingtang realized that he had indeed overlooked many details before.
He ran out like a madman and retraced the route he had taken that day.
The waiter was terrified by Lan Jingtang's bewitched appearance and muttered, "Who is this person? He's like he's possessed."
Lan Jingtang climbed that mountain again, and when he stood on the summit, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
He examined the spot where the snow lotus was found that day, and there were signs of artificial digging in that location, so the snow lotus did not grow naturally, but was deliberately placed there.
And that day, the rope was tied to the big tree, but in the end, the tree was broken.
Looking again at the large tree that had broken that day, there were many saw marks on the trunk.
From the very beginning, when An Yuan'er chose this tree to tie the rope, she knew the rope would break.
Lan Jingtang wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what was going on.
He gave a bitter laugh. He had always known she was intelligent, unlike ordinary women. Yet she had actually schemed against him.
A carefully planned conspiracy, however, stole his sincere heart and affection.
She only cares about him, so does that mean she doesn't care about anyone else?
She solemnly told him she wanted to be friends? How much of that was genuine? Perhaps none at all, and it was all just to get the Blue Jade Rejuvenating Ointment.
Lan Jingtang's fervent heart gradually cooled, and a sense of sorrow grew within him.
To verify his last thought, Lan Jingtang stood on the cliff edge, feeling the biting cold wind. He opened his arms and closed his eyes.
Leaning slightly forward, I followed the downward force and fell.
At this moment, Lan Jingtang felt no fear, only regret and sorrow.
It plummeted from a great height, crashing into the water, its body drifting towards the shore with the waves...

The night market has arrived, and the streets are bustling with activity.
An Yuan'er waited for a long time at the place she had agreed to meet Lan Jingtang, but he did not come.
Lan Jingtang is a very trustworthy person. He always arrives early and has never been late.
I have a vague feeling of unease in my heart. Could something have happened?
An Yuan'er dared not run far, fearing that if she left, she would miss Lan Jingtang when he came later.
The wait is long.
An Yuan'er watched the bustling night market, from the crowds of people coming and going in groups to the small groups leaving one by one, until finally, even the small vendors who had set up their stalls were preparing to pack up and go home.
The night grew deeper.
Just when An Yuan'er thought that Lan Jingtang wouldn't appear, he arrived in the blink of an eye.
"What's wrong with you? Your clothes are all wet. You'll get sick if you wear this."
