Daughter, you have to pay after eating

  With a loud crash, Han Xi's eyes felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and her heart shattered in that instant. Her mind went completely blank, and two lines of clear tears quickly rolled down her cheeks...

  From her bosom, a small cloth package had also fallen out, inside which was the very Xianren grass she had searched for with great difficulty...

  But at this moment, even if there was a magical herb, he would never come back to life...

  ……

  A cold night, everything seems a bit unusual.

  Originally, it was a quiet night with no sound, but many people did not fall asleep.

  At this moment, in the midst of that icy cold, a rare blood-sweating horse was galloping forward at an extremely fast speed.

  On horseback was a tall and handsome man with a strong build.

  The man was now tightening his legs around the horse's belly, and with a long whip in hand, he galloped towards White Feather Town, disregarding the howling wind ahead.

  The moonlight was clear and white, a cyan brocade robe made his figure even more robust and upright, with a warm brown fur coat draped over it. His long hair, as soft as seaweed, fluttered wildly behind him in the strong wind, adding to his untamed and unbridled wildness!

  A resolute and perfect face, with a heroic spirit between the eyebrows, shining eyes, even in the dark of night, still flashing a brilliant light.

  And this person was none other than Qing Ru Feng, who had hastily rushed towards Bai Yu Town.

  In fact, before Han Xi Tong's feet had even left, lightly like the wind, in less than half a day, he was already hastily chasing after Han Xi Tong.

  Because, although he had only been with Han Hui for a short time, losing her was like falling into an abyss. When he returned to his residence, it felt as if something was missing, and his heart felt empty.

  Even if he threw himself into the research that had taken him years to complete, even if he finally fulfilled his long-held wish and held in his hands the elixir he had spent years of his youth sweating over, he still felt no joy.

  Because of this elixir, he knew that one day he would finally complete it, so there wasn't too much joy.

  And he just stood in the study room for a long time, until his mother walked in, looked at him with a lost expression, and immediately hit him on the head with a resentful look.

  If you really like someone, then go after them. A big man only says he likes her with his mouth, but doesn't take action to pursue her. If she's really snatched away by someone else, he'll regret it later.

  Aren't you her friend now? What do friends do? It's about sharing happy things together. Since you've finally succeeded in cultivating the elixir after researching for so many years, it's only natural to share your joy with 'friends', isn't it?!

  After hearing his mother's words, he suddenly felt enlightened and everything became clear to him.

  It's better to be near her, even if it means being just a friend, than to be apart and think of her until my heart breaks.

  Thinking of this, he immediately took his elixir and rode his best horse towards the place she had told him.

  In order to see him as soon as possible, he didn't rest at all. All the way, no matter how strong the wind and snow were, or how cold it was, his heart felt warm just thinking of seeing her.

  And at this moment, in his heart, all he can think of is one person, that is...

  Xi Tong...

  ……

  The night is dark and windy, cool as water, with dense black clouds covering the entire earth, as if everything has fallen asleep.

  Bai Long Town is adjacent to Bai Yu Town, but compared to Bai Yu Town, Bai Long Town is relatively more developed. Moreover, the most prominent feature of Bai Long Town is the Imperial Escort Bureau.

  These martial arts schools are all serving the imperial court, and naturally they gather some people with high martial arts skills.

  At this moment, in the largest royal escort agency in Baidi Town, the head of the escort agency, Qianhu, was standing respectfully in the middle of the hall, reporting to the two young men seated above the hall the intelligence he had just received.

  "Reporting to Your Highness, according to my investigation, the assassin who attacked you last time was from the Luo Sha Pavilion. However, I couldn't find out who ordered the assassination..."

  Qian Hu's voice was as loud as a bear, although he had tried to lower his tone. However, as the head of the Royal Escort Agency, he had to train his subordinates and handle many things, and people in this line of work were straightforward, so their voices naturally became louder and louder.

  Only saw this dry tiger, over thirty years old, with a strong and fierce appearance, majestic and handsome, with a spirited and vigorous demeanor.

  Due to years of carrying a sedan chair, his skin presented a healthy bronze color. His muscles were strong and powerful, and at first glance, he truly lived up to his name, just like a majestic tiger.

  However, Gan Hu is absolutely loyal to the imperial court because his grandfather's generation followed the founding emperor in military campaigns and achieved great merits. Unfortunately, his father only liked doing business, so he opened this security firm, which was later given a name by the Emperor himself and became an imperial institution.

  However, although it seems like a simple royal escort agency, in reality, they are also collecting information unknown to the imperial court while escorting goods across various regions.

  At this moment, two young men sitting in front of Qiankun looked extraordinary and had their own unique charm.

  An older man, dressed in red, with a charming and evil face, after hearing Qian Hu's words, his sword eyebrows only slightly frowned, and then he said to the white-clothed handsome man beside him.

  "Seventh brother, according to what you said last time, the person who assassinated us last time actually appeared in the Luocha Pavilion, and even the pavilion master was there. This matter is somewhat strange."

  Those red lips slightly parted, that enchanting and charming voice with a hint of sensuality, was uniquely possessed by the Fourth Prince, Jing Yang Lie.

  The man who was called Seventh Brother by him was naturally Xing Xiao Ran!

  More than ten days ago, they were assassinated by a group of mysterious black-clad men in Shuangxia Gorge. Jing Xiao also saw that the person who fought against him was the master of Luocha Pavilion. Very literary.

  After all, such a well-trained killer organization, and that blood-drinking Shura knife, looking at the entire Jianghu and the imperial court, only the master of Luocha Pavilion can possess.

  After all, this Shura knife is the treasure of the town hall that has been passed down to the current owner from generation to generation since the Rakshasa Hall!

  Although it is unknown why the Rakshasa Pavilion suddenly assassinated them, even the master of the Rakshasa Pavilion personally took action, which is indeed unbelievable.

  After all, the power of Luocha Pavilion is so great that, as far as they know, every time Luocha Pavilion accepts a task, it sends out its own subordinates. However, this time, it actually dispatched the master of Luocha Pavilion himself. It's really unknown whether the master of Luocha Pavilion thinks too highly of them...

  Although the assassination of the Rakshasa Pavilion failed, he also injured the master of the Rakshasa Pavilion and even kicked him into the river. However, until now, they still can't find out whether the master of the Rakshasa Pavilion is alive or dead.

  Moreover, between the lines, this matter doesn't seem as simple as it appears on the surface...

  Xing Xiao Ran was thinking in her heart, listening to Xing Yang Lie's words, but she remained silent.

  It was late at night, but the hall of the Imperial Escort Agency was still brightly lit.

  That bright yellow candlelight illuminated every corner of the hall clearly.

  But saw the white-clad man sitting in the upper seat, his demeanor unchanged, his white clothes fluttering, his face like a crown jade, his black hair like a waterfall, clearly a peerless beauty among men.

  However, after these two months, Xun Xiao Ran had lost a lot of weight, and his originally handsome face now had an air of coldness that didn't match his age.

  In those clear and narrow phoenix eyes, apart from the thousand-year-old icy coldness, there was also an irrepressible sorrow.

  He is so pitiful that it's frightening just to look at him, and yet, it also hurts deep down in one's heart.

  Jiang Yang Lie watched from the side, his eyes also flashing with a hint of desolation, and he let out a long sigh in his heart.

  Although he had used his life to block that fatal sword for his seventh brother last time, the estrangement between them also disappeared after that.

  However, he knew that his seventh brother still felt uncomfortable in his heart. After all, some wounds, although healed, left scars there...

  He now only hopes that time can erase the wound in his seventh brother's heart, but can it really? Jingyang Lie doesn't know...

  And now, they have been searching for Han Xi Tong's whereabouts for more than two months, almost three months. However, that damned woman seemed to have vanished into thin air, no matter how many people they sent out, digging three feet underground, conducting a blanket search, but still couldn't find her...

  Thinking of this, Xuan Yang's heart was extremely annoyed and depressed, and even more conflicted.

  Because he really didn't know that after they had that kind of relationship, if they found that damn woman, what position should she be measured by?

  His woman, or rather, his... woman...

  Just as Yang Lie was feeling anxious and irritable, a man suddenly rushed in from outside.

  The man immediately knelt down on one knee after quickly walking into the hall and said respectfully.

  "Reporting back to Your Highness, I've just investigated and found out that in the past few days, assassins from Luo Sha Ge have appeared in Bai Yu Town. The headquarters of Luo Sha Ge should be located in Bai Yu Town."

  "Alright, even so, come on, gather all the troops. This time, I'm going to uproot this damned Luocha Pavilion once and for all! They actually dare to assassinate even the imperial prince? It's simply seeking death!"

  Upon hearing the newcomer's words, Xuan Yang's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately spoke up.

  Perhaps because he couldn't find Han Xi Tong, he had been feeling depressed and annoyed lately. Since this Luo Sha Ge dared to barge in, he should be a good punching bag!

  ……

  The royal side house, the sixth prince's courtyard was quiet and still at this moment.

  Northwest wind howls outside, cold and frozen earth.

  Several stoves in the house were burning vigorously, making the whole room warm and cozy like a summer day.

  Unfortunately, such a warm and cozy feeling still cannot warm everyone's heart.

  Before her eyes was a blur, even though she kept blinking away the tears in her eyes. However, soon after, another layer of mist covered everything before her eyes again.

  Then, Han Xi blinked her eyes again and again, her gaze falling straight on the absolutely beautiful and quiet face of the man who seemed to have fallen asleep on the bed.

  As if filled with mercury, his feet moved step by step forward until they finally stopped at the bedside, in front of the man.

  Looking at the face on the bed that seemed to have not changed, so pale, still absolutely beautiful, but, Han Xi knew, the only difference was, he could no longer open his eyes again...

  Her trembling fingers slowly touched Zhen's face. The feeling under her fingertips was so cold, like a thousand-year-old ice. Her fingers were frozen and numb, and a chill ran through her body, making her whole person start to shiver uncontrollably.

  "When was he..."

  Death, this one word, she could never say out loud, and even if she did, it would be as if it had drained all her strength.

  Her throat felt as if it had been blocked by a solid silver ball, making her almost unable to breathe.

  At the sound of Han Hui's sobbing words, Qing Mei's tears never stopped, and she cried to the point of almost fainting.

  On the other hand, the little medicine simply stood silently by, with a pair of worried eyes fixed tightly on Qing Mei. Unfortunately, Qing Mei's eyes had only been on Jing Xuan from start to finish and hadn't noticed this at all.

  At this moment, Qing Mei burst into tears and wailed when she heard Han Xi Tong's words.

  "Why don't you come back quickly? Why? You know, His Highness just passed away. Just now, His Highness woke up once, but after waking up, he kept looking for your figure, shouting your name in his mouth, and he was struggling to see you one last time, unfortunately..."

  In the end, Qing Mei was so choked with sobs that she couldn't speak. She cried and fainted away.

  A small medicine box beside him saw this, and immediately panicked and helped Qingmei up. Li Dafu also saw it, with a helpless expression on his face, sighed and shook his head, then pinched Qingmei's people to resuscitate her.

  Han Xi's heart was like being cut by thousands of knives when he heard Qing Mei's words, which were mixed with resentment, despair and sadness.

  By the ear, as if I heard Xuan Mi's weak and longing call before his death.

  "Xi Tong, Xi Tong..."

  He had been waiting for her return all along, fighting against the god of death, only to wait so long but still couldn't wait for her to come back.

  It seems as if I saw that desperate and despondent look in Xuan's eyes before he died, he was disappointed...

  Thinking of this, Han Xi finally couldn't bear it and fell onto Jing Mei Chen's body, crying bitterly.

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mei Chen, I'm sorry..."

  She was so resentful, resentful of the injustice of heaven, that such a good and kind man had to go through so much suffering from the moment he was born.

  In fact, he hoped to have a happy family, loved by his relatives, and hoped that he could be like a normal person, unfortunately...

  But she hated herself even more.

  If it weren't for her appearance, such a good man would have recovered from the cold poison on his body by now and he could live a normal life as he wished, so all of this is her fault, all because of her...

  At this moment, Han Xi's eyes were painful and her head was dizzy, and she was even more resentful of herself.

  But she now didn't know what else to say, and could only repeat "I'm sorry" over and over again to the man who would never wake up.

  If possible, she really wishes to exchange her ten years of life for him to open his eyes...

  Just as Han Xi's heart was exhausted, that guy's Qing Mei woke up again with the help of Li Daifu. However, in fact, she now wished to sleep forever, so she wouldn't have to face the departure of the prince and feel heart-wrenching pain!

  Her pale face, her empty eyes, for her, losing Xuan Mei Chen was like losing the entire world!

  Jian Mei had already left her, Qing Mei's life was no longer worth living, and then, she took out a sharp dagger from her arms.

  In fact, this dagger had been hidden on her for a long time.

  Death, she's not afraid of, but what she fears is losing Your Highness.

  Last time, if it wasn't for Han Xi Tong's obstruction, she would have killed herself to accompany the prince long ago. Adding that recently every day she has been by the prince's side, watching the prince's increasingly weak breathing, the thought of death has always existed in her heart.

  After all these years, her heart has always belonged to Your Highness alone. The existence of Your Highness is the thing that brings her the most joy.

  Now that Your Highness is dead, what's the point of her still being alive in this world?

  Disheartened and desperate, Qing Mei took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her and quickly picked up a dagger, slashing it at her own neck...

  "Unripe Plum"

  The first person to see Qing Mei's action was Xiao Yao.

  Because his gaze remained on her, watching her sadness, he also felt sad.

  Just now, his gaze only slightly fell on the palace's face for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Qingmei about to commit suicide, scaring him so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stretched out both hands, intending to stop Qingmei's action.

  Unfortunately, his movements were no faster than Qing Mei's. That guy's eyes were the farthest from Qing Mei, even if he wanted to save her, but distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

  Just as Qing Mei's dagger was about to fall on that snow-white neck, the crowd was also frightened, their eyes wide with fear and their mouths agape, all of them were shocked by Qing Mei's action.

  I thought it would be a bloody scene next, but just at this time, I suddenly heard a "ding" sound, and then the dagger in Qingmei's hand quickly fell on the carpet.

  As this sudden change occurred, everyone's face was stunned, but after seeing Qingmei safe and sound, they slightly let out a breath of relief. Xiaoyao quickly snatched the dagger from the ground, preventing Qingmei from having any thoughts of taking her own life again.

  And those two, Han Hui and Li Dafu, had their eyes fixed on the tall, large man who appeared at the door without them noticing.

  Like a towering mountain, his upright figure, handsome and elegant face, with some wind and snow on him, but still can't hide his extraordinary talent and remarkable demeanor.

  Seeing the man outside the door, Han Xi's face slightly froze, and she blinked away tears in her eyes. After seeing the man clearly, a hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes, and her red lips opened with an incredulous tone.

  "As light as a feather, how did you end up here?"

  With a sobbing voice, it sounds so pitiful and fragile at this moment. Hearing it in his ears made him clench his heart, aching for her.

  Moreover, seeing the little woman with tears in her eyes looking at him, his heart was quickly filled with a surge of pity and heartache.

  It's astonishing how in just a short day, the originally smiling and lovely woman is now crying so sorrowfully.

  That pale face full of tears, like a pear blossom in the rain, is so pitiful and beautiful, yet with a unique charm.

  There were also those beautiful eyes, which at this moment were filled with sparkling water droplets, making her look like a lost little kid, so helpless and pitiful. It pained his heart, he really wanted to hold her in his arms, wipe away the worries on her face with his own hands, and kiss away the tears in her eyes.

  Unfortunately, he couldn't...

  At this moment, listening to Han Xi Tong's words, he suppressed the sympathy in his heart and slowly walked towards the room.

  Those deep eyes swept around the room, sensing the eerie atmosphere inside, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Although he didn't know what was happening here, he also knew it wouldn't be anything good.

  After all, since he arrived here earlier, the little gatekeeper was also disheartened and secretly wiping away tears. He just mentioned Han Xi Tong's name, and the little gatekeeper immediately showed him the way. So, he quickly walked in this direction.

  However, at that time, he was thinking about seeing the little woman who had been on his mind all the time, and did not notice the eerie atmosphere around him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw someone in the room wanting to commit suicide, so he quickly took action.

  When Qing came to Han Xi's side, Li Dafu, who was on the side, finally came back to his senses from his stunned state. Then, when he heard Han Xi's address to the young man in front of him just now, an old face was stunned again, and his eyes widened as if he was extremely surprised and excited, saying:

  "Light as a feather!? Are you the legendary doctor Light as a Feather from Death Valley?!"

  It's no wonder that Dr. Li was so shocked and excited. After all, he is also a doctor, although older than Qing Ru Feng, but for the unparalleled medical skills of Qing Ru Feng, he still has great respect.

  Moreover, he had previously only known that there was a person named Qing Ru Feng, but did not know that it would actually be the young man in front of him who was over twenty years old.

  Upon hearing Li Dafu's words, Qingru simply nodded slightly and didn't say anything more to him.

  Because he generally wouldn't bother with strangers. It's just that, for the sake of Han Xi Tong's face, he would nod at Li Daifu as a greeting; if it were someone else, he would have ignored them long ago.

  As for the rumors from outside, some of them are indeed true. That is, Light Yagami's personality is unpredictable and moody. For those he doesn't want to save, even if a knife were held to their throat, his eyes wouldn't bat an eyelid.

  Moreover, he wouldn't talk much to people he wasn't familiar with. It's not that he was arrogant about his exceptional medical skills, but rather because he had spent many years studying medicine alone, and except for his mother, he didn't like talking to others, which had cultivated his somewhat introverted personality of not liking to speak much.

  But these are different for everyone, like this little woman in front of him...

  For a face as light as the wind and cold, Li Dafu didn't feel anything. After all, every outstanding person has a unique temperament.

  But it did nothing to diminish his admiration for this young man who was so outstanding in medicine.

  Although his heart was excited, when he saw Xuan Mei Chen who had passed away on the bed, Li Da Fu shed another tear.

  In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, if this divine doctor had appeared earlier, perhaps the prince would have had a chance, what a pity...

  Unaware of Li Daifu's thoughts, he quietly approached Han Xi's side, looking at the pale-faced, obviously deceased handsome man on the bed with a glance. His good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  He furrowed his brow, not because he felt sorry for the man's death, but because seeing Han Xi's eyes so sorrowful and painful for this man in front of him made his heart feel uncomfortable.

  But as he looked at Han Xi's pitiful face, those two lines of clear tears were so crystal clear on her snow-white skin, sliding down one by one, making her look like a white lotus in the early morning dew, so beautiful, moving and elegant...

  "Xī Tóng, don't cry..."

  A large hand gently patted on Han Xi's shoulder and softly spoke.

  He didn't know how to comfort people, he just didn't want to see the woman in front of him look sad. So, he decided to gently pat her shoulder and comfort her.

  But his eyes sparkled with tears as he heard the gentle words, and his nose turned sour, but the tears fell even more fiercely.

  All the self-blame, grievances and regrets came rushing towards her like a surging tide, making her feel like a small boat in a stormy sea, constantly battered by crazy waves, feeling so helpless, wanting to find a safe haven.

  And now, the man in front of her, at her most vulnerable and defenseless moment, made Han Xi's eyes redden and her lips pucker, and with a "wa" sound, she fell crying into Qing Ruofeng's arms.

  Those slender jade hands were tightly wrapped around the slim waist, a small face that had cried into a mess was also deeply buried in his broad chest, crying like a child.

  "Woe is me, it's all my fault, if I hadn't appeared, he wouldn't have died either. It's all because of me... Woe is me, I'm so heartbroken and distressed. If only I could die for him, such a good man, why did heaven treat him so cruelly..."

  Han Xi Tong cried until her eyes were like pear blossoms with tears, how desolate, her heart as light as the wind was shattered.

  Although it was painful for him to see the woman he loved crying her heart out over another man, Qing Feng didn't want to see his beloved woman in pain either.

  Because when he sees her sad face, he will feel extremely heartbroken.

  So, in order to make her happy, he would do anything, even if it meant using the results of his hard work over many years to exchange for a smile from his beloved.

  Thinking of this, a gentle smile played on his lips, and his voice was filled with tenderness and pampering, like a warm sun shining directly into Han Xi's heart, which had been battered by storms.

  "Don't cry anymore, you'll ruin your face. When he wakes up and sees you like this, he'll be scared to death."

  "Huh... Light as a feather, what do you mean by that? He's already..."

  Hearing Han's words as gentle as the wind, Han Hui's eyes were filled with confusion, but he heard hope in his words. Could it be...

  "Haha, what I mean is, I can bring him back from the dead!"
