Chapter 40 The Man Who Delivered the Medicinal Herbs (1)

After removing her disguise, Shen Yingxue changed out of her black clothes and put on white clothes. She also changed her hairstyle to distinguish herself from the flower owner. Then she secretly left the yard in the night, passed through the secret passage in the study, and went to another residence in Zanhua Lane.

Lan Jin came along to protect Shen Yingxue's safety, while Han Jing covered the "Flower Master" and handled some matters.

After nightfall, a green carriage with a green tent slowly drove into the dark and quiet Zanhua Lane. Due to Zanhua Lane's bad reputation, no one dared to look at it, and no one cared who was in the carriage.

Zhu Qingyi opened the curtain and saw that the wall outside was almost tightly attached to the window, leaving no gap at all. She thought to herself: This alley is too small.

As soon as he entered the alley, someone from Zanhua Lane came to greet him. The person spoke in a low voice and treated him calmly, as if he was unaware of his identity.

"Sir, please come this way. Our young master is ill and cannot see people, so he has been living in a secluded place. It is a good place to live without people coming and going to disturb his peace and quiet."

The people in Zanhua Lane pointed the way, and the driver controlled the reins and followed slowly until he came to a black-oiled wooden door, where he stopped. The person leading the way said, "It's inside."

After saying that, he left.

Although the threshold here was not high, it blocked the carriage from entering and exiting. Zhu Qingyi had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk in with a group of guards.

This yard is indeed very remote, with hardly any sounds of chickens or dogs barking. Two small lights were lit outside the door, and after entering, it was bright inside.

Lan Jin held up a lantern and greeted him with a smile: "My master is tired today and has gone to bed early. Let's skip the formalities and bring you directly to see the eldest master."

"Is he here?" Zhu Qingyi looked around the yard and saw that there were not many people there. Apart from Lan Jin, there was almost no other figure.

"Please follow me." Lan Jin said, "You should know about my eldest son's illness. It's getting late today, and it's time for him to go to bed. He just took some medicine and is feeling sleepy."

Zhu Qingyi was confused and remained silent.

Lan Jin led him to the front of the room, stepped back, and did not follow him in. Zhu Qingyi waved his hand, and the group of people he brought also stayed outside.

Seven or eight candles were lit in the room. A young man in white clothes with his hair loosely tied up was sitting at the table, holding a wooden sign in his hand, staring at the candles in a daze.

When Zhu Qingyi came in, there was some noise, but the man in white seemed not to hear anything. He was still looking at the wooden sign. No one knew what he was looking at, but his expression was very focused.

Zhu Qingyi closed the door, "Ling Yun."

Shen Yingxue deliberately pretended to be crazier, and even if she heard him, she ignored him. He didn't turn on the game console this time, but just fiddled with it, and all his attention was still on King Zhongxin.

Seeing that he did not respond, King Zhongxin sighed and called out in a very soft voice, "Yingxue."

Shen Yingxue didn't expect him to be so direct and she shuddered with fear.

This name not only belongs to the original owner, but also to him. I have heard it for so many years in my past and present lives, and I feel very involved in it.

Zhu Qingyi walked over slowly and asked: "Are you still thinking about the Demon Cult?"

Shen Yingxue pursed her lips and looked up to see his face, which was exactly the same as the beautiful face that was photoshopped. It was night again, and the candlelight was dim, just like the scene of Liao Zhai. He had forgotten that King Zhongxin was still wearing mosaics, and was startled again.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Zhu Qingyi misunderstood his reaction. Looking at Shen Yingxue's clear yet confused eyes, she felt a little regretful. "I originally thought that without the Demon Sect, you would let go of your obsession and come home with me. I didn't expect them to be so excessive. It's also my fault for not thinking carefully enough and forgetting that they didn't know your identity. You have the right to blame me."

Shen Yingxue knew that as long as he pretended to be crazy and stupid, King Zhongxin would reveal some information.

Although these words are brief, they can reveal a lot.

The original owner might actually be this man's son, who was thrown out of the palace by King Zhongxin's concubine, abducted, and joined a cult to be trained as a young master.

King Zhongxin had been looking for him, and perhaps he had found him a few years ago, but the original owner was no longer the child in his memory, and was very different from what King Zhongxin had imagined.

It is not known whether he told the original owner his true identity. In any case, King Zhongxin was very angry. He thought the Demon Cult was a stronghold of human traffickers and found Fu Sheng and others to wipe out the Demon Cult.

But he didn't expect that Shen Yingxue had gone from being a kidnapped child to the leader of a cult. When the cult was attacked, he was the one who was most seriously injured. What happened afterwards was completely out of the control of King Zhongxin. Not only did Shen Yingxue fail to clear his name and return to the palace, but his life was hanging by a thread. Later, he became crazy and became everyone's enemy.

Shen Yingxue tapped the token and hid behind.

Zhu Qingyi consciously kept her distance: after softening her voice, there was a neutral beauty: "Do you still remember me?"

Shen Yingxue whispered: "The Demon Cult... has seen... it..."

His voice was hoarse, and it sounded like he hadn't spoken for a long time. After hearing this, Zhu Qingyi's expression became more and more guilty, but when he looked at Shen Yingxue's pale face, he became firm again.

His son has become like this. If he just gives up and drives his son crazy with his own hands, it would be a joke.

"Yes, we met once in the Demon Cult." Zhu Qingyi put aside the grudges for the time being and talked to Shen Yingxue as a relative. "You were quite jealous of me at that time. If it weren't for Rang'er, you would have almost killed me with a sword."

It was because Shen Yingxue almost killed him that time that angered him. He felt that he had let his son down and was too guilty to feel guilty towards Shen Yingxue, so he certainly would not vent his anger on her. Therefore, he had an even worse impression of the Demon Cult.

Zhu Qingyi saw that Shen Yingxue looked confused, as if she didn't understand what he said, so he continued, "You left home when you were young, and you don't recognize your relatives and friends. I am your father, Zhu Rang is your cousin, and Zhu Ling is the illegitimate son of the family, your younger brother. When you get better, I will take you home."

Shen Yingxue was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not sick."

Zhu Qingyi knew, of course, that the token belonged to the Demon Cult. Seeing that Shen Yingxue was so stubborn and stubborn, and took the thief as his father, Zhu Qingyi was completely helpless.

Zhang had been killed by him, and all the people involved in the case were either executed or sold. But even so, his son could not come back.

Fortunately, Shen Yingxue did not die on the way, nor was he killed by the demon sect. He was an excellent child. Even if he went to the demon sect, he would become the leader of the demon sect with a great reputation. Even if he was not in the palace, he was still a leader in the world.

But it was precisely because of this that Zhu Qingyi felt it was even more regrettable.

Zhu Qingyi would never forgive Zhang, and would never ask for Zhu Ling to be crowned as the Crown Prince. If someone had to inherit the title, it would be Shen Yingxue.

"Is Huazhu good to you?" Zhu Qingyi asked, "Do you really treat him as your father?"

Shen Yingxue was silent.

He was so afraid that this man would treat the Flower Master the same way he treated the Demon Cult.

From Zhu Qingyi's perspective, there seems to be nothing wrong in cracking down on illegal crimes. After the original owner became the leader of the Demon Cult, he did those things again. The killers and assassins of the Demon Cult, as well as Han Jing and others, weren't they all children captured from outside?

But from Shen Yingxue's perspective, he didn't know such a person at all, it was simply an unprovoked disaster. In his heart, he was still thinking about the Demon Cult. He was a member of the Demon Cult in life and a ghost of the Demon Cult in death.

Now that the original owner is gone, all the blame falls on Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue held on to the game console tightly, turning it on and off again to ease the social awkwardness.

Zhu Qingyi hadn't seen Shen Yingxue for a long time. He had been keeping an eye on Shen Yingxue and knew very well how Shen Yingxue went to Yuding Villa and how he disguised himself as Ling Yun and tricked Fu Sheng and others.

But those things were all heard from other people. Zhu Qingyi was afraid of complications, so he only let his trusted people in the palace to watch over him and protect him from a distance, and did not dare to let those people in the underworld do anything.

This was the first time Zhu Qingyi saw Shen Yingxue after she went crazy.

He always held the token of the Demon Cult in his hand and meditated, his thoughts seemed to drift far away, and his face showed no emotion. The white clothes made him look like a fairy, and his weakness could not be concealed. Compared with the last time, Shen Yingxue's spirit seemed to have disappeared along with the Demon Cult.

Zhu Qingyi secretly hated Fu Sheng because he had made a good promise and actually did it to eradicate the Demon Sect. Who would have thought that he looked like a gentleman but used such vicious means?

Shen Yingxue was betrayed one after another by people close to her, and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It was a miracle that she was able to survive.

Zhu Qingyi hated Fu Sheng, but he also knew that Fu Sheng did this to please him. He was too ashamed to say this to Shen Yingxue, and looked at Shen Yingxue tiredly, not knowing when this would end.

"Yingxue, please say a few more words."

Shen Yingxue wanted to say something, but she was unsure of this man's character and was even more afraid of backlash, so it was safer to pretend to be crazy and stupid. He fiddled with the token and soon felt a little sleepy. He sat not as straight as before, yawned, and his eyelids felt heavy.

He fell asleep for a moment, and when he woke up, Zhu Qingyi was gone, and he was not sitting at the table, but lying on the bed. Zhu Chengyu was standing not far away, and Lan Jin's eyes were on him.

Shen Yingxue looked down and found that he was still holding the game console in his hand.

Lan Jin was probably worried that Zhu Chengyu would find out that he, like Hua Zhu, was holding the game console every day and wanted to take it away. But he was afraid that he would be unhappy and expose his identity instead.

Seeing Shen Yingxue wake up, Lan Jin said cautiously, "Young Master."

He was afraid that Shen Yingxue would fall into a daze in her sleep and mistake himself for the owner of the flowers.

Hua Zhu's voice was different from Shen Yingxue's own. Usually, when someone saw Hua Zhu, it was when Shen Yingxue was awake, or he and Xun Yan would report it in advance so that Shen Yingxue could prepare.

This was the first time that Shen Yingxue was holding the token and had just met King Zhongxin, who was suspected to be his biological father. Lan Jin was really worried that Shen Yingxue would be irritated.

"Young Master, the Second Young Master is here to see you." Lan Jin said.

Shen Yingxue immediately got into the role. She was helped up by Lan Jin in a daze. She hid the game console under her pillow and said in an innocent tone, "Who is it?"

"Brother." Zhu Chengyu walked closer, feeling very nervous.

Brother Ling Yun is not in his right mind, and I don’t know what’s wrong with him. If I see his white hair and blue eyes in the middle of the night, would I mistake him for a ghost?

Shen Yingxue got off the bed, walked slowly to him, lifted up a strand of her hair, and turned to ask Lan Jin: "Why is my hair black?"

Lan Jin didn't know how to answer this question, so she could only stand aside and smile awkwardly.

"You are so pretty." When Shen Yingxue was the flower owner, it was not convenient for him to exaggerate. Now he could let himself go and say whatever he wanted. He rubbed Zhu Chengyu's head and said, "Your eyes are pretty too."

Zhu Chengyu didn't expect this result and heaved a sigh of relief. It was great that his brother didn't dislike him.

Otherwise, he might really not want to help his brother anymore and let him degenerate into death.

Having one more relative is naturally better than having no one.

Shen Yingxue pulled Zhu Chengyu to sit aside and said to Lan Jin, "You can go out now."

This was the first time he met Zhu Chengyu as Ling Yun. In the future, he would most likely meet other people as Ling Yun, so he rehearsed it at that time.

Shen Yingxue suddenly felt familiar. He seemed to have rehearsed this scene before...

Zhu Chengyu listened attentively and found that Ling Yun seemed to be in a daze, and did not move for a long time. He did not know what he was thinking about. He groped for Ling Yun's hand and asked, "Brother, did you meet King Zhongxin today?"

"Loyal and faithful king?" Shen Yingxue asked, "Who is it?"

"It's the man who came to see you today." Zhu Chengyu asked patiently, "What did he say to you? Why did he leave so soon?"

"I can't remember." Shen Yingxue didn't want to tell the truth to Zhu Chengyu.

He is indeed kindhearted and can take in this homeless child, but that does not mean he can tell Zhu Chengyu these life-threatening secrets.

Zhu Chengyu said, "Brother, think about it again. That person would not come here in the middle of the night just to chat with you. He must have said something important."

Shen Yingxue frowned, and Zhu Chengyu asked what this was for.

He already knew that Zhu Chengyu was more cunning than he thought, and that he was hiding some things from him. Shen Yingxue didn't have the energy to delve into his past in detail, and only knew a rough outline. Shen Yingxue thought that Zhu Chengyu was young, and that if she taught him well in the future, his personality could be changed. She didn't expect that this child wanted to see Lingyun and actually had such an idea.

Seeing that Shen Yingxue did not answer, Zhu Chengyu continued, "Brother, did that old man bully you?"

"Huh?" Shen Yingxue didn't react for a moment.

Doesn’t Zhu Chengyu want to find out the secrets of Ling Yun and King Zhongxin?

"Did he do anything to you?" Zhu Chengyu held Shen Yingxue's hand tightly. "I just hate that I can't see. Even if my brother was injured, I wouldn't know."

However, the room smelled fresh, without any lewd smells. Zhu Chengyu approached Shen Yingxue as a protector and touched his face and neck, "Brother, you feel so cool."

Shen Yingxue let him do what he wanted, "Why am I injured?"

Zhu Chengyu did not answer. After making sure that Shen Yingxue was safe and sound, he stopped.

He thought that Ling Yun had been involved with King Zhongxin and his son before, so he should not be completely ignorant of such things. Now he really looked ignorant, which must have been a huge blow to him.

Daddy said that he had done something wrong, and that he was probably blaming him for not taking care of himself and selling his body to go between the father and son. However, Ling Yun now looked innocent and naive, as if he had no idea about love and had nothing to do with the filth of the world.

He was indeed driven crazy. After going crazy, he would never sell his body to please others again. He just did it cleanly and forgot everything that happened before, like a child, innocent.

"Brother, if you trust me, you can tell me if you encounter unhappy things in the future. I will help you." Although Zhu Chengyu is younger than him, she sees her own future in him.

He was really afraid of ending up like Ling Yun.

He didn't want to be abandoned by his father, nor did he want to use those crooked ways to gain benefits for himself. His father was the flower owner, and as the son of the flower owner, he should naturally have strong strength.

Zhu Chengyu couldn't see Ling Yun's expression, he only knew that Ling Yun's hands were very cold.

I heard that my father had a disease, and Lingyun also had the disease, and they might not live long. Zhu Chengyu felt that his white hair and blindness were probably related to these diseases. He was not that weak, but just couldn't stand the scorching sun and couldn't see the light. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Zhu Chengyu sat with Ling Yun for a while. When Ling Yun stopped talking and his breathing became heavy, he knew that Ling Yun had fallen asleep.

Ling Yun really couldn't stay up late, but this also showed that Ling Yun had no worries at all, which was why he could fall asleep so quickly.

Zhu Chengyu followed the instructions of the flower owner, called Lan Jin over, left Lingyun's yard, and returned to his own residence.

After everyone left, Lan Jin picked up the sleeping Shen Yingxue, took out the token under his pillow, and took him back to the main courtyard where he lived.

Early in the morning, Shen Yingxue was woken up by someone. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard someone say, "Master, King Zhongxin is here again."

"Didn't you just come here yesterday?" Shen Yingxue rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. It was another rainy day. There was no light outside and the room was also dim.

Lan Jin said, "He did not return home last night, but stayed in an inn not far away. He came here today to see you and brought many gifts, saying they were for Ling Yun."

Shen Yingxue slept late yesterday and it was already late when he woke up. He estimated the time and decided to meet Zhu Qingyi.

Lan Jin brought some water and waited for Shen Yingxue to wash her face, then drank a cup of warm water, ate a piece of crispy candy, and put on a martial arts hat.

King Zhongxin's demeanor was completely different from when he was in front of Lingyun, but it was also different from the day he first met Huazhu. He seemed a little softer.

"I am sorry for coming here today, Master Hua." Zhu Qingyi was sure that the person was Shen Yingxue. He was afraid that Master Hua would embarrass him, so he was very polite and had no airs at all. Even though Shen Yingxue covered her face, he did not complain: "Ling Yun has been in Zanhua Lane for quite a while, and it was all thanks to Master Hua's care."

Shen Yingxue said, "No, it's only natural for me to take care of my own son. Your Majesty, you are being too kind."

"Whether Lingyun is your son or not, Huazhu should know it in his heart. I will also produce evidence to prove who his biological father is in the future. This child means a lot to me. Now that times are not good, I will definitely let him recognize his ancestors in the future."

Shen Yingxue remembered clearly what Zhu Qingyi said last night. He sneered and said, "If the prince really loves his son, why don't you think about it for him and see if he wants it?"

These words touched King Zhongxin's sore spot.

If he had not insisted on doing it, he would not have harmed Shen Yingxue like this. No matter how sad King Zhongxin was, he would not show it in front of the Flower Lord. He and the Flower Lord were only in a temporary alliance, and they might become enemies in the future to compete for Lingyun.

It would be fine if the Flower Lord didn't know about his previous actions. If the Flower Lord knew, he would definitely not use those things to belittle him and would not let Ling Yun come back so easily.

King Zhongxin said, "Now Lingyun is so seriously ill, even if I ask him, what can he say? I hope that Master Hua will allow me to visit him often, considering my love for him."

Shen Yingxue knocked on the table but said nothing.

This King Zhongxin seemed to really care about Lingyun, but this kind of care reminded Shen Yingxue of the class oppression between fathers and sons in the feudal ethics. Shen Yingxue was already so old, and he didn't want another father to take care of him, which would make him feel suffocated.

He couldn't be like Nezha and cut off his bones to repay his father, so he had better use his identity as the Flower Master to compete with him.

Zhu Qingyi said, "I happen to have some nourishing ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other things in my house. I brought them here today. Please accept them, Master Hua."

Shen Yingxue said: "Zhanhuaxiang is not short of money and can afford these things. Please go back, Lord."

"Those are tributes from foreign countries, gifts from my brother the Emperor. They are just decorations in the warehouse. It is better to give them to people who can use them."

He was determined to fight for his son's rights. Shen Yingxue had no choice but to agree to his request.

Prince Zhongxin came quietly and left quietly. No one outside knew that he had been to Zanhua Lane.

Shen Yingxue quickly repeated to Lan Jin what she remembered, and after he remembered it clearly, she returned to her calm state.

He brought the little turtle into the house and played with it for a while with some flowers and plants. Then he heard hurried footsteps. Zhu Chengyu's face was filled with worry: "Dad, Brother Lingyun is missing."

Shen Yingxue paused in teasing the little turtle: "You went to see him?"

Zhu Chengyu heard Huazhu's low voice and realized that he was unhappy. She put on a pitiful attitude and said, "I played with my brother for a while last night, and wanted to go see him today, but I didn't expect that there was no one there, not even servants to serve."

He didn't have the ability to read people's expressions, and he didn't know that the face of Shen Yingxue in front of him was Ling Yun's. He asked carefully, "Did Daddy ask Brother Ling Yun to move away?"

"Yeah." Shen Yingxue said.

"Why?"

"King Zhongxin already knows where Lingyun is, so we have to move to another place. Otherwise, if King Zhongxin sends someone to do something bad, it will not be good for Lingyun or me."

"Can I know where my brother is?"

"You care about him?"

"Yes." Zhu Chengyu said, "He is my brother after all. He lives there alone. How lonely he must be. I want to go and keep him company."

Shen Yingxue knew that Zhu Chengyu was a stubborn person who treated his relatives without reservation, so she was not surprised that he said such a thing.

He thought that Ling Yun would have to appear in public in the future, so he went closer and said that when Jiang Hanfeng came back in a few days, he might want to see him, so he couldn't hide forever.

If Ling Yun doesn't show up for a short time, it would be fine, but when the time comes, those people will inevitably suspect him.

Shen Yingxue randomly mentioned a yard, "Ling Yun lives there. Don't you run around at this hour? Don't you still need to learn medicine? Once you have mastered medicine, practice martial arts, and at least you can protect yourself like a cat."

Zhu Chengyu was extremely envious when she thought of the three-legged cat's kung fu and his mysterious poison skills.

"Daddy is right. I will learn well from Mr. Cat." When he has mastered medicine and poison, he will be able to help his father and brother cure their illnesses.

After watching Zhu Chengyu leave, Shen Yingxue poked the turtle shell and muttered to his little pet: "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. Why do I have to endure so much hurt?"

He was sad for a while, called the system, and continued watching the TV series.

The plot of the TV series is very absurd. The male protagonist takes a revenge script and wants to find the enemy who killed his family. In the end, he finds the enemy in the martial arts world. After going through many hardships, the male protagonist takes a knife and takes the female protagonist and the second male protagonist to the leader, and is beaten badly by the leader.

The leader found that he had the upper hand and began to tell the hero about his inner thoughts.

It turns out that he and the hero's mother were first love, but the people in his mother's family disagreed, beat him severely, and threw him to the mountains to feed the wolves. His mother remarried to the hero's father, and the leader of the alliance always held a grudge and killed the hero's family to avenge himself.

Just when he was about to kill the male protagonist, he suddenly discovered the jade pendant and birthmark on the male second, as well as that particularly familiar face. He was startled and was killed by the male protagonist.

Before the leader died, he pointed at the second male lead and said, I am your father.

When Shen Yingxue saw this, she was so angry that she turned off the screen.

[I really don’t like this kind of family drama.] Shen Yingxue said to the system, [Can we skip this family ethics drama? I want to follow the plot, I want forums and novels.]

The system replied: [You don’t have to take him to heart.]

Shen Yingxue could have completely ignored King Zhongxin's request and coldly maintained the exchange of interests and prevented him from seeing Ling Yun.

Shen Yingxue sighed: [I care too much about family affection. Maybe it’s because I care about family affection that I don’t want to see my relatives killed. The original Shen Yingxue was really miserable, and so was I. If he had left any memory, I wouldn’t be so passive.]

The system says: [Really?]

Shen Yingxue: [Why do you react like this? You said that, and I have a bad feeling. Could it be that you can really give me the original owner's memories?]

[This is not something I can control.] The system is meaningful, [Whether you can obtain the original owner's memory depends on you. As long as you want it, it will appear. If you don't want it, the past memories will be forever depressed.]

Shen Yingxue can understand the system's words. The body he uses is the original owner's body, and is often affected by the original owner's emotions. If he can bring it in, he can get the original owner's memory, but the original owner's emotions are too intense, and Shen Yingxue is a little afraid of the feeling of being completely out of control.

[We’ll talk about it later.] Shen Yingxue said.

It was already the sixth day when Xun Yan and Jiang Hanfeng returned to Zanhua Lane after dealing with the Linjiang Gang.

At this time, King Zhongxin returned to the palace and occasionally sent people to deliver some medicinal herbs and food, which were obviously for Lingyun.

Shen Yingxue tried not to take the suggestions given by the reference system to heart and handed them over directly to Lan Jin to handle. As expected, her life became much better.

Zhu Chengyu was always thinking about looking for her brother, so Shen Yingxue took some time out to go to the yard over there, disguised as Lingyun, and listened to Zhu Chengyu talk in silence.

When Xun Yan and Jiang Hanfeng came back, Shen Yingxue was still basking in the sun in the yard with Zhu Chengyu in the identity of Ling Yun.

The subordinates made ginseng tea. I don't know what they put in it, but the fishy smell of ginseng was mostly gone, and it tasted a little sweet. Shen Yingxue drank tea, turned on the TV series, and chatted with Zhu Chengyu.

Xun Yan walked in from outside and saw Shen Yingxue's true appearance after a long absence, revealing a faint smile. When he came over, Lan Jin had already vaguely mentioned the situation here. Xun Yan saluted Shen Yingxue: "Young Master."

Zhu Chengyu said, "Master Xun Yan calls Daddy Young Master and calls Brother Big Young Master. It sounds weird. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Shen Yingxue blinked and looked at Xun Yan.

Xun Yan said, "It's just a title. Young Master and the eldest young master don't take it to heart, so why should I change my words? Besides, when I call you, I call you by your name."

Zhu Chengyu smiled and said, "That's true. But I didn't know that you and Big Brother were friends. Why haven't I seen you visit Big Brother before?"

Xun Yan didn't say anything.

Shen Yingxue could probably guess what he was thinking.

He and Xun Yan have known each other for a long time. Zhu Chengyu is the little brat who knows nothing, and Xun Yan will not take him seriously.

Zhu Chengyu noticed that Xun Yan didn't say anything, so she pouted and touched Shen Yingxue's wrist, "Brother."

"Hmm?" Shen Yingxue said slowly. He passed the ginseng tea to Zhu Chengyu's mouth, "Drink this. It's sweet and delicious."

Zhu Chengyu took a sip from his hand and said, "This is for my brother, you can drink it yourself. That's all. I'll drink it, what will my brother drink?"

Shen Yingxue got up from the couch and returned to the room. Xun Yan followed him, and neither of them paid any attention to Zhu Chengyu.

Zhu Chengyu was easy to coax. She held the cup of tea given by Shen Yingxue and took another sip slowly.

Shen Yingxue closed the door and asked Xun Yan, "Do you know what happened in the past? King Zhongxin said that I met him before."

"have no idea."

"Tell me what you know."

Xun Yan has followed him for many years, and even though he is sometimes sent out on missions, he knows Shen Yingxue better than anyone else.

"After the young master took over the Demon Cult, he devoted himself to developing the sect and re-established the rules. The people in the Demon Cult became more restrained, but the conflicts between his subordinates and the righteous path continued and could not be completely avoided. Until six years ago, the leader was injured outside and was poisoned, which damaged his internal strength. The righteous people, led by Jiang Hanfeng, came to attack."

"Jiang Hanfeng? Jiang Hanfeng mentioned this to me. He said...he said..." Shen Yingxue couldn't remember clearly. She frowned, pressed her forehead, and said to Xun Yan, "Go on."

"Jiang Hanfeng is extremely powerful. You, the leader, said that this battle is unavoidable and that we cannot send others to fight. If we are defeated by Jiang Hanfeng, it will damage our morale. So you went out in person and fought Jiang Hanfeng."

"Who won?" Shen Yingxue asked.

Shen Yingxue had asked about this matter once, but he had completely forgotten it at the time. It was only after Lan Jin reminded him that Shen Yingxue remembered it. He wanted to know what happened that day.

Xun Yan used to be afraid of bringing up old things, as it might upset Shen Yingxue and make her sick, but since he had told her about it once before, Shen Yingxue could handle it, so it didn't matter if he told her about it again.

"Jiang Hanfeng won." Xun Yan said, "You had the upper hand temporarily, but unfortunately your internal strength was insufficient and you retreated in a hurry. Fortunately, Jiang Hanfeng did not pursue you. The righteous people saw that Jiang Hanfeng could not go up, so no one dared to come. That trip was fruitless and they hurriedly pulled back. It was not until three years later that the Demon Cult was in chaos. Tingxuan poisoned you, and Fu Sheng led people to encircle and suppress the demons. The disciples of the Demon Cult had almost no power to fight back. You were seriously injured, and I took you to escape. We hid everywhere and stayed temporarily at Aunt Lin's house."

Shen Yingxue listened to Xun Yan's words, as if he was there, and remembered the situation on that day. Not only that, he also remembered what Jiang Hanfeng said.

Jiang Hanfeng said that Shen Yingxue won that battle and he was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back.

Why do the two look weird when combined?

Shen Yingxue asked: "Did you see me win the battle with Jiang Hanfeng?"

Xun Yan shook his head: "When you were here, I couldn't show up in front of people. You told me later. And after you came back, your internal energy collided and you vomited blood and had to stay in seclusion for a long time."

Shen Yingxue remembered that Jiang Hanfeng was also in seclusion, but he was in seclusion because he was hit, not seriously injured.

He originally wanted to ask about King Zhongxin, but Xun Yan knew nothing about him. Instead, he asked about a strange Jiang Hanfeng.

"Who do you think is better at martial arts, me or Jiang Hanfeng?"

"Of course it's you." Xun Yan paused and added, "Although you were no match for him six years ago, it was because you were poisoned. Moreover, Jiang Hanfeng is much older than you. If you had another three years, it would be easy for you to kill him."

"Unfortunately, three years later, I became a complete loser." Shen Yingxue said lightly.

"Young Master." Xun Yan knelt down, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he just called out, "Young Master."

"Get up now. Be careful not to be seen." Shen Yingxue asked him, "Where is Jiang Hanfeng?"

"Lan Jin was afraid that he would act rashly, so he came to see you and took him to dinner."

"We'll meet sooner or later, so it's better to meet earlier so I don't forget about it in a few days."

"I'll arrange it right away. When do you plan to meet him?"

"Let's do it today. Let's get rid of the guy outside first."

Jiang Hanfeng and Lan Jin had their meal, then returned to take a shower and change clothes. As it was getting close to evening, someone outside said that someone had sent boxes of medicinal herbs to the flower owner's eldest son.

He knew that those people were talking about Ling Yun, so he went out and asked, "Who sent the herbs?"

The people in Zanhua Lane said, "I don't know. The man didn't leave his name. I heard that the herbs are extremely good and can't be bought even if you have money. Maybe he is a high-ranking official. I don't know what kind of character the flower owner's eldest son has. He actually made friends with such a powerful person."

"You haven't met the eldest son?"

"Not only have I never seen it, I have never even heard of it. If someone hadn't sent us something, none of us would have known that the flower owner actually had a son."

Jiang Hanfeng had asked about it before, but he didn't find out anything. He knew what Ling Yun was like, and he had kept it a secret. Although he couldn't see her, he at least knew that Ling Yun was resting and recuperating.

Now that there are suddenly rumors about Ling Yun outside, Jiang Hanfeng feels uneasy.

Who was the one who sent the herbs? Did he send them for the sake of the flower owner, or was he really related to Ling Yun?

If it is the former, does it mean that Ling Yun’s health is already very poor?

Jiang Hanfeng went out with the original intention of distancing himself from Hua Zhu and Ling Yun and finding his original state of mind. However, in the few days since he left Zanhua Lane, he still often thought of Hua Zhu and Ling Yun.

What's even more terrifying is that he also dreamed of a man. He couldn't see his face clearly, but the body made it impossible for him to tell who he was.

Jiang Hanfeng, you're done.

Jiang Hanfeng took a deep breath and went to see the flower owner, but unexpectedly he met Zhu Chengyu on the way.

Jiang Hanfeng greeted him.

"You're back." Zhu Chengyu smiled. He always pretended to be childish and cheerful in front of outsiders. But today, when he smiled, he seemed to be worried.

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Chengyu whispered, "I know you like my brother. I'm not telling you this to sow discord. I just want to remind you. Do you know my brother's past?"

Jiang Hanfeng said honestly: "I have not known Ling Yun for a long time, and I don't know much about his past."

"It's very likely that he was driven crazy by someone." When Zhu Chengyu said this, his heart was beating very fast. He couldn't see with his eyes, and there were many people in Zanhua Lane. He was afraid that someone was watching him secretly, so he didn't dare to say too much, and his words were also very obscure. "It was the person who sent the herbs. He had improper thoughts about Ling Yun."

If Jiang Hanfeng knew that King Zhongxin not only had improper thoughts about Ling Yun, but also succeeded in destroying Ling Yun's body together with his son, and that the flower master also found out, causing Ling Yun to have a mental breakdown, how would he react?

Zhu Chengyu really wanted to use Jiang Hanfeng as his swordsman, but if Jiang Hanfeng really did something excessive, his father would first guess that he was the one responsible. He could only mention it vaguely, and leave the rest to Jiang Hanfeng to find out for himself.

After Zhu Chengyu finished speaking, she left quickly without waiting for Jiang Hanfeng to ask any more questions.

Jiang Hanfeng was about to catch up when Xun Yan came over again, "The eldest master wants to see you."

"Young Master... Ling Yun?"

Jiang Hanfeng had been with Xun Yan for the past few days. After leaving Hua Zhu, they both had the same taciturn personality. After working together for a few days, they both realized the reliable side of each other and were no longer as distant as before.

Jiang Hanfeng asked:
