After receiving the medicine bowl from Bai Aoxue, Jianjia didn’t find Bai Aoxue’s frozen smile.
“Jianjia, how do you know Jun Yeyan?” Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia and asked quietly.
When Jianjia heard Bai Aoxue’s words, she put the medicine bowl on the table and turned to look at Bai Aoxue, “Sister, when you are unconscious, you are always calling this name. I think this name is very important to you.”
Hearing that, Bai Aoxue gently nodded and said, “Yes, he is very important to me. He is more important than my life.”
Looking at Bai Aoxue’s smiling eyes, Jianjia didn’t understand why this beautiful sister would say so.
“It seems that that person is more important than yourself? Why is that? I do not understand,” Jianjia said confusedly, shaking her head.
Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia and smiled slightly. Jianjia was too innocent to understand a lot of things. Because she did not experience the worldly affairs.
At this moment, she was as pure as a white paper. Certainly, she would not understand love and hatred.
“Jianjia, you are still young. If you meet someone very important to you, you will understand my feelings.” Bai Aoxue said slowly.
Hearing that, Jianjia said happily, “I met such a person! My master is very important to me! Quite important!!”
Bai Aoxue looked at the innocent Jianjia and said gently, “You have been living with your master for many years. In your heart, he is your relative. And he is better than your blood relatives. But one day, you will grow up and meet someone whom you will risk your life to cherish. Of course, this will take a long time. Now, living happily is enough for you.”
Jianjia looked at Bai Aoxue and hesitantly said, “My master and I are relatives? In the future, I will meet someone whom I will risk my life to cherish? But will it be very tired and painful?”
Bai Aoxue didn’t expect that Jianjia would think it so thoroughly. However, she said nothing wrong.
“Indeed, it will be tiring. But that is exactly destiny. Perhaps, the right to choose is controlled by others, or it is in your own hands. It depends on whether you can control your own destiny. Love is the same.” Bai Aoxue said gently.
There was a burning light in her eyes, and it was firm and shining.
Looking at the dazzling woman before her, Young Jianjia learned something as if small buds in her heart had begun to sprout. One day, under the sunshine that belonged to her, it would grow into a towering tree!
“Perhaps you don’t understand it at this moment. But after you have experienced the whole world, you will find a sense of belonging somewhere. Maybe in the quiet and peaceful countryside, or in the bustling and noisy city. However, wherever you are, there will be someone watching clouds scudding across the sky with you.” Bai Aoxue slightly curled her lips, remembering that unruly man.
Fortunately, it was possible to go back to see him.
At the same time, Bai Aoxue cherished her life all the more.
she was determined to spend the rest of her life with him.
Listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, which sounded abstruse and profound, Jianjia didn’t speak for a long time.
“Sister, is the person you love as handsome as my master?” After a while, Jianjia raised her head and asked Bai Aoxue excitedly.
Hearing Jianjia’s words, Bai Aoxue’s mouth twitched fiercely. The child shifted her thoughts so fast that she couldn’t keep up.
“I haven’t seen your master… However, your master is definitely not as handsome as Jun Yeyan. When I first saw Jun Yeyan, I was shocked that his beauty was so extraordinary… Probably, God was like that.” Bai Aoxue sighed, thinking about the situation when she first met Jun Yeyan. At that time Jun Yeyan was wearing a black jade mask.
Hearing that, Jianjia did not believe and said, “Sister, you do not see my master. He is so handsome, especially when he brandishes his weapons! When my master comes back, you will see! I don’t believe that there is someone in this world who is more handsome than my master.”
Hearing Jianjia’s words with such confidence, Bai Aoxue smiled slightly.
But she really wanted to see Jianjia’s master.
She knew how much she hurt. But Jianjia’s master was able to recover her internal injuries in just three days. His treatment skills surpassed all those quack doctors.
Even herself, she was afraid that it would take three or five days to recover from internal injuries. But Jianjia’s master was able to estimate exactly when she woke up. That was what Jianjia’s master excelled at.
“Jianjia, when do you and your master begin to live here?” Bai Aoxue asked peacefully while looking around.
Jianjia thought for a while and said, “It has been five years since we came here. And we never leave since then. I know that my master is waiting for someone, but he hasn’t appeared until now.”
She also expressed her concern to her master in her words.
“Jianjia, my name is Bai Aoxue. You can call me Sister Aoxue.” Bai Aoxue didn’t plan to ask further, so she changed the topic quickly.
After all, too many questions would make people suspicious. Although she didn’t have any bad intentions, she knew that quite well. A lot of times something should not be asked.
“Bai Aoxue… Sister Aoxue!” Jianjia read carefully the name of Bai Aoxue, raising up her head.
Bai Aoxue nodded in response. Somehow, when looking at Jianjia, she would always remember herself. When she was at this age, she already knew how to kill people with a blow.
At this age, such a worry-free smile was worth protecting.
“I will make some porridge for you. You should sleep for a while. My master said that now you are weak and you need more rest!” Jianjia said softly after she helped her lie down.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “Thank you, Jianjia.”
Hearing that, Jianjia slightly hesitated and then smiled and said, “Never mind.”
After that, she quickly ran out of the bamboo house.
Bai Aoxue was lying on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep at all. Looking at this simple hut, her mood was much calmer.
Since she came to this world, she had known her changes most.
She used to think that even a single person could walk alone in this world. Whether she was lonely or not, she would experience it alone. Finally, she could put it down peacefully.
But now she knew clearly that she could no longer be alone.
The feeling of dependence had occupied her unconsciously. But she didn’t know it.
When that happened, she always thought of Jun Yeyan.
When she fell off the cliff, she could see clearly Jun Yeyan’s look. She made him hurt again. She said she would not leave him, but she broke her promise.
Thinking of that, Bai Aoxue clenched her fists tightly. She must go back! No matter in what manner, she must return to that man!
At this moment, when she was not with him, who would he look for to rely on?
Time was almost running out. She must find Mu Yun Grass as soon as possible and return to Jun Yeyan to detoxify him.
Thinking of Mu Yun Grass, it occurred to Bai Aoxue that Jianjia’s master had the first-rate medical skills, and he must know Mu Yun Grass. She could ask him when he came back, there maybe was some news.
With that in mind, Bai Aoxue looked forward to seeing Jianjia’s master sooner.
After drinking porridge, Bai Aoxue had a chat with Jianjia, and then Jianjia went to help his master dry the herbs.
The next day, Jianjia got up early to make breakfast for Bai Aoxue. After breakfast, they basked in the house.
“Sister, my master should be back tonight,” Jianjia said happily.
Bai Aoxue gently nodded and said, “When your master comes back, I should thank him sincerely.”
“No need, my master doesn’t care about it,” Jianjia said happily.
And here, Liushuang had been searching for Bai Aoxue alone day and night. After a few days, he came to a cliff beside the downstream of Yanjiang.
“Oh… This is the Peach Blossom Mountain of the Nanyue Dynasty. With such a poetic and picturesque name, it is actually a horrible place.” Liushuang looked at the misty cliff and snored.
But he did not hesitate to step into the Peach Blossom Mountain.
Although his burning red clothes lost the luxury of the past after many days of running, he was still the distinguished Young Master Liushuang who was heroic but not forlorn. There was a bit of determination in his cynical eyes.
No matter how dangerous it was inside, he was determined to find Bai Aoxue!
The iron fan did not leave his hand for a moment. He seemed to slightly fan, but actually, he was ready to attack at any time!
No one dared to step in the Peach Blossom Mountain in the Nanyue Dynasty easily, which was the sacred place of death where one couldn’t get out if entered.
However, Yanjiang must pass through the Peach Blossom Mountain. Compared with being washed away by the river, Liushuang felt that Bai Aoxue was more likely to enter the Peach Blossom Mountain.
Even if he knew that he would lose his life at any time if stepping into the Peach Blossom Mountain.
But he… still went without hesitation.
“Master, wait for me.” A soft murmur expressed his firm conviction.
Bai Aoxue, who was healing her wounds, did not know her apprentice, who was received because of a bet, had stepped into the Peach Blossom Mountain to look for her.
“Jianjia, come out and help me pick up the herbs.” A low male voice came.
He interrupted the heated talk between Bai Aoxue and Jianjia. Jianjia was lighting a fire outside.
Hearing that her master came back, Jianjia twitched her mouth a bit and said cheerfully, “Sister Aoxue, my master came back! Let my master come to see your injuries.”
Then, she jumped out.
After a while, Jianjia took her master into the cabin.
Bai Aoxue, leaning on a soft pillow on the bed, gently raised her head and saw the figure that made her be in a trance.
The snow-white hair was most conspicuous, which she had seen before in a man who had passed away for a long time.
As time went by, the man’s eyebrows were less sharp and a little more elegant. His eyesight was deeply hidden, but Bai Aoxue could see clearly its sharpness within the depth of his pupils.
He had straight eyebrows and sparkling eyes, and his lips were slightly pursed with a touch of softness. Of course, that was his look at Jianjia.
Observing Bai Aoxue’s view, the man raised the eyelids up, slightly looking at Bai Aoxue, and said, “Your injury recovers fast.”
His tone was alienated, or rather, indifferent.
Bai Aoxue gently nodded, “Thanks the warrior for rescuing me, as well as Jianjia’s care.”
The tone of modesty revealed an inherent pride that could not be ignored, but people would not feel she was rude.
The instinct of Bai Aoxue was that this man was not ordinary!
After years of growth, he covered his light and hid in solitude, which revealed how extraordinary he had been.
But that was the past. Now he could stay here peacefully, which showed that he had already experienced the whole world and his heart was as calm as water.
“It’s just a simple act, not deserving to be appreciated,” The man said gently and then turned around to leave.
“Hero, stay for a while, please!”
