Looking at Hua Fan's very pale face, Tang Zhong felt vaguely worried in his heart. He asked Hua Fan, "Shu'er, do you not have the magic contract in your hand?"
Hua Fan was stunned for a moment. She thought about it and then vaguely recalled that the so-called magic contract was the little gold medal from back then.
Twenty years ago, when Shangguan Jinnian brought him back to Chang'an, the magic contract was carried with her in her clothes. (Related content: Wedge - Marionette) At one time, Shangguan Jinnian even lied to her.
, that gold medal is their marriage contract made of gold and stone.
She shook her head at Tang Zhong, thinking that she hadn't seen that little thing for a long time, and it was probably still in Chang'an.
"It was lost many years ago." Hua Fan said.
The doubts on Tang Zhong's face did not dissipate. "Shu'er, you must tell the truth to your father. The magic contract is really just lost, not in anyone's hands, right?"
Hua Fan was worried about the doubts about Shangguan Jinnian's identity and the terrible dream, and did not take what Tang Zhong asked to heart. She forced a pale smile and said to Tang Zhong: "Father, why are you doing this?
Suddenly asked about this?
Tang Zhong looked at Hua Fan's look, and it didn't seem like he was hiding anything on purpose, so he said: "No...it's nothing. In that case, Shu'er must have been distracted and tired from being a father these past few days. Anyway,
There's nothing going on right now, Shu'er might as well just stay here and recuperate for a while."
"Hmm..." Hua Fan said perfunctorily, and suddenly asked Tang Zhong: "Father, did Shangguan Jinnian really die twenty years ago?"
Tang Zhong said nothing, he knew nothing about this world where things and people had long ago changed.
"Shangguan Jinnian is a very important person to me. I only know that he has been living well since I met him...Father, do you think he will be fine?"
Tang Zhong looked at Hua Fan's pleading words, his face was pale and bloodless, and the doubts in his heart became even greater.
"Shu'er, is Shangguan Jinnian really still alive? He is the youngest son of the Shangguan family, is it absolutely true?" Tang Zhong frowned in thought.
Hua Fan nodded, with tears in his eyes due to worry.
"This is impossible." Tang Zhong said firmly.
"..."
Hua Fan bit his lip and asked, "Is it really not possible at all?"
Tang Zhong thought for a while and said: "For the Shangguan family, it is impossible. The entire Shangguan family is mortal. If a person can come back from the dead, there is only one possibility, that is, he is not a mortal, but a demon.
If that's the case, he can be resurrected in the west of the bright moon with the help of the water in the west of the bright moon, but..." Tang Zhong hesitated, and finally said nothing.
Hua Fan was almost certain of one thing in her heart, that is, Shangguan Jinnian was not a mortal, but a demon with supernatural powers just like her.
Tang Zhong noticed something strange about Hua Fan and asked, "Shu'er, is Shangguan Jinnian a very important person to you?"
Hua Fan smiled palely and replied: "My daughter always thought that he was so bad, that he was not very important, that he was a dispensable person. But now it seems that these are just self-deceptions by my daughter. He
For me, it is more important than life."
Tang Zhong was shocked and didn't answer for a long time. After a while, he tried to ask: "How about compared to being a father? Which one is more important, being a father or being a Shangguan Jinnian?"
Hua Fan choked for a moment, but still said: "What are you asking, father? In my heart, you and your deceased relatives must be the most important."
Tang Zhong guessed most of it in his mind, but he said easily: "I can't keep the female university. If I don't fight with him as a father, I won't fight with him..."
Hua Fan blushed and said with a smile, "What did father say?"
Tang Chong asked again: "How about Shangguan Jinnian and the yellow-haired vixen just now? Who is more important?"
Hua Fan choked on her own saliva and coughed. She did not expect that her father, Tang Chongwufu, had a gossipy girl's heart hidden under his rough appearance.
But since her father asked, she told the truth. Hua Fan replied: "Shangguan Jinnian is the most important existence to my daughter besides her relatives. Although she and my little girl are also friends, but..."
She told the truth. Facing her father, whom she had not seen for many years, she felt that there was nothing to hide or avoid.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Yan Honglei didn't go to pour the tea. He was very puzzled by Hua Fan's sudden and inexplicable coma. What was even more puzzling was that Tang Zhong seemed to know something about it. So he didn't walk away in the first place. As cunning as he was
, cast a small spell on himself, hid behind the screen and eavesdropped. Even if his hearing was as sensitive as flowers, it was impossible to hear his movements.
Unexpectedly, the person who was supposed to eavesdrop didn't hear, but heard something he shouldn't have heard.
He stood behind the screen and was in a daze for a long time.
In front of him was a Zen-like landscape screen, but his heart was filled with emotions.
First he was angry and unwilling. He clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward immediately to question the erratic woman. But after calming down for a while, his unwillingness turned into self-mockery. He finally did nothing and turned around.
Go, pour a few cups of tea in a polite manner, and push the door open.
Seeing Yan Honglei come in, Tang Zhong and Hua Fan both consciously stopped talking.
Yan Honglei looked at the bloodless Hua Fan, hiding the sorrow in her heart, and said sarcastically: "There is only some crude tea left in the tea room. I want to drink good tea, but I won't serve you!"

Tang Zhong told them that before they could find a way to stop the war, they had to go back to Mingyue West. He made this request very firmly and did not allow them to refute or ask anything.
"Shu'er, when we arrive at Mingyuexi, my father will tell you a secret. Then, don't blame me." When leaving Liangzhou City, Yan Honglei and Gu Sha took advantage of the temporary departure to pack their luggage.
At that time, Tang Zhong said to Hua Fan in a sea of ferns.
"What's the secret?" Hua Fan blinked, thinking that Tang Zhong had offended a girl again and was joking.
"A story, a very long story." Tang Zhong said. Although he tried to make his tone more relaxed and kind, there was still a heavy tone in his words.
"You don't want to listen!" Hua Fan didn't pay attention, and smiled slightly, without any worries, like the sunshine on the ferns.
There was a hint of sadness on Tang Zhong's face that was not easy to detect.

Originally, they were still worried about how Shangguan Jinnian would chase and intercept them along the way, and how they would have to go through hardships and use all their tricks to finally escape from the clutches of the devil and return to Mingyue West. But unexpectedly, almost all the way along the way,
