Half an hour ago, North Cave.

"Yueyue, do you really want to go find Lin Jiang now?"

Qionghua couldn't help but tug on Cui Hengyue's sleeve, refusing to let her go.

Cui Hengyue gently brushed Qionghua's hand away: "If you are afraid, just stay here and I will go alone."

Upon hearing that Cui Hengyue wanted to go to Wenshu Pavilion alone, Qionghua straightened her back immediately: "No, I'll help you."

"Then let's go." After Cui Hengyue said that, he went straight out of the room.

Qionghua quickly caught up.

The two of them passed through the outer passage safely and arrived at the gate of the North Cave.

Ever since Shui Fu and Shui Rong returned to the North Hall, no one has entered the duty room at the door.

Cui Hengyue hid behind the door and gestured to Qionghua.

Qionghua took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and then slammed the door: "Come here, my little lady fainted, come here quickly..."

After a few breaths, the door was pushed open, and the guard asked solemnly: "What happened?"

"I......"

As soon as Qionghua opened her mouth, a black shadow rushed out from behind the door and knocked unconscious the guard who was asking the question.

"Come......"

Another guard guarding the North Cave saw Cui Hengyue knocking out his companion, and he hurriedly called for help. Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious by Cui Hengyue as soon as he shouted a word.

Qionghua looked at the two guards lying on the ground and was a little surprised: "Since when did the North Cave only have two guards?"

She remembered that after her wife moved in, there were four guards guarding the North Cave.

Cui Hengyue patted the dust on his hands and said calmly: "I can enter and leave the North Cave freely. You are the only one being imprisoned, so naturally I don't need so many guards."

"But, you were just punished to reflect behind closed doors." Qionghua reminded Cui Hengyue in a low voice.

"So what? I didn't just come out when I wanted to." Cui Hengyue glanced at the guards with disdain and ordered: "Hold them up and lean against the wall, so that no one can be suspicious."

After Qionghua did as she was told, she hesitated and said to Cui Hengyue: "I'd better not go. You go. I'll wait for you here."

Cui Hengyue was a little surprised: "You haven't seen each other for fifteen years. If you have a chance tonight, are you sure you won't go?"

"I......"

Qionghua hesitated again.

Seeing this, Cui Hengyue advised: "This opportunity is rare. If we don't meet today, the next time we meet may be fifteen years later. Can you afford to wait?"

"Besides, with me here, what are you afraid of?

"The worst we can do is get caught by the fat monk, but we didn't do anything, and he won't do anything to us. At most, he will punish us in isolation and think about our mistakes.

"You have been locked up in the North Cave all year round. What's the difference between being locked up in a closed door and thinking about your mistakes?"

Qionghua was persuaded by Cui Hengyue: "Okay, I'll go."

So, Cui Hengyue took Qionghua, avoided the guards all the way, went to Wenshu Pavilion by familiar routes, and arrived outside Lin Jiang's room.

"Dong dong——dong——"

Hearing the familiar knock signal, Lin Jiang jumped up from the bed and ran to the door.

Opening the door, he grabbed Cui Hengyue who was outside and dragged him in, then closed the door: "Yueyue, you are finally here!"

Cui Hengyue: "...Qionghua is still outside."

The smile on Lin Jiang's face froze instantly.

The next moment, a bigger smile appeared on his face and he hurriedly opened the door.

But when he saw Qionghua outside the door, he suddenly became at a loss: "Qionghua, I..."

Qionghua was also very excited, but she looked calmer than Lin Jiang: "Let's talk after we go in."

"Oh, okay." Lin Jiang hurriedly let Qionghua in and closed the door.

Cui Hengyue was the first to speak: "Is the key ready?"

Hearing Cui Hengyue's question, Lin Jiang reluctantly looked away from Qionghua's face and respectfully replied: "It's done, I'll get it."

After saying that, Lin Jiang walked to the bed, took out the key from the hidden compartment of the bedside table, and handed it to Cui Hengyue.

After taking the key, Cui Hengyue asked again: "The short knife you helped me beat was taken away by Mu Yun. Can you help me beat another one?"

"It's okay..." Lin Jiang hesitated: "It's just that it took me ten years to make that short sword. I wonder if you can wait, Yueyue?"

Cui Hengyue: "..."

ten years?

She didn't have time to wait.

"Forget it, you don't have to fight. I'll find a way to get it from Mu Yun myself. You can just reminisce about old times."

Cui Hengyue walked towards the door. After reaching the door, she turned back to the two of them and said, "Hurry up, you only have fifteen minutes."

After reminding them, Cui Hengyue held up the key and looked at it, and at the same time raised his ears to listen to what was going on outside.

Lin Jiang hurriedly looked at Qionghua: "How have you been in these years?"

"I'm fine." Qionghua also looked at Lin Jiang and saw that he was unshaven and slovenly compared to when he followed his wife. She couldn't help but feel sad: "How did you become like this?"

Lin Jiang thought Qionghua disliked him, so he immediately panicked: "I...I'm not usually like this. I just made the key for Yue Yue these days, so I didn't have time to take care of myself."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue looked over. He looked like this the last time she saw him.

Moreover, when the little madman comes to see him every year, he always looks like this...

Feeling Cui Hengyue's gaze, Lin Jiang was like a child who was caught doing something wrong. He wanted to hang his head to the ground and never dared to defend himself.

But Qionghua believed what he said: "Now that the key is keyed, you can rest. Take a good bath tomorrow and tidy up yourself."

"Okay." Lin Jiang raised his head with a smile on his face.

After Qionghua asked him a few questions about his current situation, her expression suddenly became serious: "Have you remembered what happened five years ago?"

"Five years ago...ah..."

Lin Jiang covered his head with one hand and cried out in pain.

Cui Hengyue looked over and saw Qionghua looking at Lin Jiang with a distressed look on her face and said to him: "What's wrong? Do you still have a headache just thinking about what happened five years ago?"

"...Yeah." Lin Jiang responded painfully and slapped his head hard.

Damn it, why does his head feel like it's going to explode when he thinks about what happened five years ago?

Seeing Lin Jiang's expression of pain, Qionghua couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to grab his right hand: "Stop fighting, don't think about it, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore..."

Cui Hengyue withdrew his gaze.

Lin Jiang's eyes were red, and he looked at Qionghua guiltily: "I'm sorry, madam, I'm sorry for you..."

"No, you are not wrong, and you have not sorry for my wife or me." Qionghua comforted Lin Jiang softly: "My wife knows that five years ago, you lost your left hand because of her.

"She kept telling me that she was the one who harmed you, that she was the one who could not forgive us...

"My wife feels very guilty. She has not had a good night's sleep in the past fifteen years. Even though I told her that none of this was her fault, she still blamed herself.

"My wife was tortured by past events and was in pain. She died early. You must not do this. Yueyue is still young, and she still needs us..."

When it came to the end, Qionghua was already crying.

Seeing the tears on Qionghua's face, Lin Jiang also had wet eyes. He raised his right hand to wipe Qionghua's tears. When he caught a glimpse of his dirty and torn sleeves, he immediately hid his hand behind his back.

"Don't be sad, I will live well, protect Yue Yue, and protect you."

Hearing this, Qionghua wiped away her tears and smiled at Lin Jiang: "Okay!"

At this time, a clear voice sounded in the room: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will definitely find the person who hurt you five years ago and avenge you."

Qionghua and Lin Jiang both looked at Cui Hengyue.

Cui Hengyue turned her face away, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes.
