Thornflower was sleeping soundly, but in the dimness she heard the sound of the door opening, and she turned her head to look at the person standing in the doorway, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Xia Yuqian?" Thorn Hua pinched her face fiercely, making sure that she didn't hurry up from the bed after dreaming, "You...... How did you come back?"

"Sister Thorn Flower, can I still come back?" Xia Yuqian looked at her embarrassedly, and then put the bag of silver coins on the dresser.

Thorn Hua was stunned for a few seconds, then lifted the quilt and patted the bed next to her, Xia Yuqian's face showed a sweet smile and jumped up happily.

Shenyu Xuan walked up the stairs and happened to meet Xiao Han who was walking towards him, but the other party didn't pay attention to his meaning, but walked straight forward.

"Sister Xiao Han," he turned around and blocked the way in front of Xiao Han, tilted his head and raised a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked pretending to be strange: "Everyone is an acquaintance, why don't you even say hello when you meet?"

"Shenyu Xuan, are you a scoundrel?" Xiao Han glared at him and said, "I have already done everything you asked! Now that Wuji is dead, Wuqi is also dead, and the account between the two of us has been settled! Please stay away from me in the future!"

As she spoke, she pushed him away, but Shen Yu Xuan grabbed her hand and pulled her to herself, her face suddenly gloomy, and she asked coldly: "Who said that our accounts have been settled? Do you know that you can't afford to lose your life if you lose something!"

"Bastard!" Xiao Han shook off his hand.

"Don't hurry, I have a letter for you. Shenyu Xuan threw Xia Yuqian's letter to her, and his gloomy face suddenly became bright again, "I picked it up at the door, I guess the person who sent the letter accidentally dropped it." ”

Xiao Han glanced at him vigilantly, and then looked down at the white envelope in her hand, which was indeed printed with the official seal of the Han Mansion and her own name, she opened the letter, but after reading it, she looked at him with even more strange eyes.

"Shenyu Xuan, what the hell are you doing?"

"Hey, it's really wronged!" he looked at Xiao Han with an innocent face, "I kindly sent you a letter, how can you say that about me, besides, this letter is not fake, it is stamped and signed...... But who is Han Lingxiao? Among the young masters of the Han Mansion, except for Han Yuluo, I have heard of Han Shaokun and Han Yifeng......"

"It's none of your business!" Xiao Han interrupted him unceremoniously, "I received the letter, I will watch this matter be done, and I won't worry about you!"

Shen Yu Xuan looked at her back, and the corners of his mouth flashed with an incomprehensible smile.

"Xiaoqian, have you slept?" Thorn Flower lay on the bed, looking at the roof in a daze.

"Not yet. Xia Yuqian whispered with her back to her.

"It seems to have been thundering outside, and the wind was blowing so scary...... Aren't you scared?"

"No......," she replied duplicitously.

"Xiaoqian, do you know, you look like me before. After a long time, Thorn Flower suddenly said.

"Do you mean I'm like you were when you were a teenager?" Xia Yuqian turned around and looked at her with some curiosity. Thorn Flower is twenty-nine years old this year, thirteen years older than herself, and in Xia Yuqian's eyes, she is like her big sister, taking care of herself and bringing warmth to herself.

"Yes, I used to be as beautiful as you are now......" Thorn Flower said with a smile as she turned her head and smiled, her eyes still shining a little, as if she was reminiscing about the past.

Xia Yuqian also showed a warm smile and put her hand on hers, "Sister Thorn Flower, you are still very beautiful. ”

Thorn looked at her, but did not speak, and after a long time, she sighed and wiped her somewhat moist eyes with her hand.

"Cherish it, cherish your family and everything you have now. After speaking, she turned her back to Xia Yuqian.

Family......

Xia Yuqian's mind suddenly appeared two kind faces, kind and simple, and Sansuke's immature little face, showing an innocent smile.

She seemed to see the villagers of Hongshan Village working in the fields again, the children playing together on the dirt roads in the fields, and the old people enjoying the shade of the trees, with happiness and satisfaction on their faces. Smoke curled from the chimneys of the mud houses, and the women stood at the door beckoning their husbands and children to come back for dinner......

A gust of wind whistled past the window, blowing a leaf onto the windowsill, Xia Yuqian reached out and picked up the leaf, the surrounding of the leaf seemed to have been burned by fire, and in the middle was a strange spell, painted with blood.

Xia Yuqian turned her head and glanced at Thorn Flower, she was already asleep.

She went to the backyard, crossed a secluded path in the jungle, and when she made sure that no one was around, she walked through the dense grove to a quiet lake. The surface of the lake is as smooth as a mirror, without any waves, and a few fireflies are flying around it, shining with a bright green light.

Xia Yuqian came to the lakeside, turned her head to the left, and an old woman in a black cloak stood not far from her with a dead wood cane, revealing a hand like a dead branch, she was hunched back, her face was covered with dense wrinkles, and she looked like she was hundreds of years old.

Every once in a while, she would come to Xia Yuqian, sometimes for a few months, sometimes for a few years, in order to find out if there were any changes in the soul in her body...... It's a secret that only the two of them know.

"Girl......" She summoned Xia Yuqian in a hoarse voice, and then raised her other hand, and held a black wooden boat lamp in her hand, the lamp frame was engraved with all kinds of strange spells, and the lamp flashed with dazzling green fire, blazing, like a long-standing grudge soul.

She held the lamp in front of Xia Yuqian and examined her carefully.

"There seems to be something unusual mixed in the girl's body," she squinted at Xia Yuqian, "What is it?"

Xia Yuqian just looked at her quietly, but did not answer. The old woman held the lamp and looked at her for a long time before turning around and slowly leaving.

A light rain fell in the sky, Xia Yuqian came to the center of a somewhat dilapidated pavilion in the depths of the jungle, ran her internal force and began to practice - she was too busy during the day, and only in the dead of night when everyone was asleep, she had her own time to practice, but she didn't practice to get ahead, she just wanted to protect herself and the people around her......

She returned to Hongshan Village at the age of seven, and began to practice with him under the guidance of Han Lingxiao's mother, Princess Yin Lan.

Before Han Lingxiao left Hongshan Village, he left the album to Xia Yuqian, who always took it with him and cherished it very much.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and a few lightning bolts suddenly streaked across the sky, followed by a roaring thunder.

She opened her eyes slightly, looked up at the gray sky, and suddenly appeared in her eyes, the silver curls and white skin of Shenyu Xuan appeared. Xia Yuqian stretched out her hand to touch the raindrops falling from the sky, and the memories of the past resurfaced in front of her again, and her vision gradually became blurred......
