The Gaoshan Grottoes are the gathering place of the Gaoshan people, and the people of the tribe have been living here for hundreds of years, relying on the mountains and rivers, self-sufficient, and living a life without contention with the world.

However, because of a civil strife fifty years ago, the Gaoshan people faced danger, the tribe fell apart, and the two mountains were once two hostile forces, until ten years ago, a group of strangers came to break this deadlock and became a force to maintain the two major gangs in the clan, and their presence not only restored the old life of the Gaoshan tribe, but even brought something they had never seen before, so the major patriarchs agreed to let these people live here.

Over time, this power grew stronger and stronger among the tribe, to the point that the people of the clan were more inclined to trust their ways, and the power of the patriarch was gradually replaced by the leader of the strangers, who were still the most authoritative representatives of the Gaoshan tribe.

Shen Mei understood that she would not worry about her life, if this person wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as pinching an ant to death, but Shen Mei had not yet fully confirmed what was hidden behind this, knowing that he had other intentions in keeping her.

Seeing that he was mocking herself, Shen Mei knew that she couldn't run out at all, so she didn't have the intention of escaping, turned around and went into the cave, and the people behind her followed Shen Mei with extremely doting eyes, but she didn't know.

The person under the iron mask, perhaps even he himself has never realized what kind of heart he has to have such watery tenderness for her.

Walking into the house, I found that the layout of the house I lived in was exquisite, especially the mural in front of me, the gray stone wall was painted with vermilion paint with a red flower, and then the scattered petals swirled into a circle and circle of swirl patterns, among which there was a golden shimmer in the center of the faint light, Shen Mei didn't recognize what it was, the shape of the golden thing was very strange, it looked like a golden bead, Shen Mei's eyes were attracted as if fascinated. Approaching the wall, Shen Mei was very surprised to see that the golden bead was transparent, and there seemed to be something swimming inside, and the gold dust that seemed to be floating like a gossamer in the bead the size of an eyeball made Shen Mei feel very surprised, and she only felt that she was about to be introduced by the things in this painting.

Turning back to ask what it was, the man in the iron mask, as usual, followed not far behind her, "This is the mural of the grotto, what do you want to ask?" The man said a word to break Shen Mei's thoughts.

This feeling was always a little subtle, Shen Mei didn't know why this person was so familiar with her, and every move seemed to be in his expectation.

"Oh. Tell me what you want to say about this painting. "Maybe it's just because I was curious after seeing this painting, and I was a little less rusty when I spoke.

The man didn't respond as usual, but responded to Shen Mei's words with his hands behind his back and in a hoarse voice, "A long time ago, there was a family in the Gaoshan clan that painted murals for generations for the people in the clan for a living, and this is the painting left back then. There were some stories that he didn't tell in full.

The voice seemed to come from a long time ago, like an ancient and melodious ballad, and it was told to her unhurriedly.

"This flower is called the Holy Blood Rose, and it used to bloom all over the Gaoshan Clan." The iron-masked man slowly told Shen Mei about this far away incident, and he still learned from an elder of the Gaoshan clan that this group had lived here since ancient times, and lived a mysterious and undisputed life like a fairy.

Shen Mei became more and more fascinated by the story, with a desire to continue listening to the story in her eyes, seeing that the person in front of her was silent, she asked a little eagerly, "And then, this flower..."

Behind these words is actually a mythical story that everyone in the Gaoshan Clan knows, but the man in the iron mask had the intention of not telling Shen Mei about it, and wanted to deliberately make her anxious.

Perhaps it is more interesting to see the expression on Shen Mei's face when she is anxious than telling a story.

Those big watery eyes can speak as if people are about to melt into her eyes.

But he prefers to see Shen Mei like this, she is pure in front of him, and there is no longer Mu Qingfeng or other people in her eyes.

"Hey, why didn't you say it." Shen Mei really fell for his plan, and she didn't let go, pouting her cherry red mouth, looking like a child.

But she didn't know that this appearance was a special experience for the person in front of her, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled, even if he had a mask on his face, he couldn't see the expression under the mask, but this emotion unexpectedly broke into Shen Mei's heart.

Shen Mei still felt that this person knew a little more about herself than she knew about herself, and it was precisely because of this that she was afraid of what was the purpose of such a person approaching herself. What kind of person would go to great lengths to bring himself out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and why did he bring himself back to the capital yesterday to witness a grand wedding, although it deeply hurt Shen Mei.

She secretly thought about all this in her heart, if this person wanted to threaten Mu Qingfeng with himself, then why didn't he make any moves when she met Mu Qingfeng yesterday.

In fact, Shen Mei didn't know that their plan that night was to release the news of Shen Mei, so that Mu Qingfeng and others would know Shen Mei's whereabouts, and Mu Qingfeng would inevitably come desperately to pursue this news. Then resist the decree and anger the emperor and the Qiu Mansion, so that without them doing it themselves, Mu Qingfeng will suffer a heavy blow, but why this plan was not carried out, no one knows.

It's just that his sudden change of mind caught people off guard.

Just when Shen Mei saw Mu Qingfeng wearing a wedding dress and the bride appearing in front of everyone, the emotions that flowed through his eyes, such as the despair of the tenderness that lingered in his heart turned into a dream bubble in an instant, and the untraceable sadness made him reluctant, and he had the desire to keep her by his side and take care of her, so that the whole plan suddenly changed.

It turns out that only by being by each other's side can he really feel at ease, he can't watch her bear all this alone, even if all this is caused by him, what he wants is that from now on, she will only have him in her eyes, and be happy because he is alone.

Shen Mei didn't know what kind of fetters that bleak figure carried on her, and she would have to be entangled with him in this life after all.
