Chapter 56: Who is a good person who deserves a good life?
Suhuai Mountain Village is located south of Yunde City and can be regarded as one of the royal palaces. It’s not big but it’s very delicate. All the craftsmen who built it came from the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the appearance of the house is not as rough as in the north. The white walls and black tiles with carved wooden windows look quite graceful like a little girl’s mood.
At night on this day, Nan Moxie and Duan Yao wandered back from the street, trying to go to the desolate courtyard as usual, but by coincidence they happened to meet Duan Bai Yue.
Duan Yao took two steps back decisively and hid behind Master.
Duan Bai Yue frowned: “Where are you going in the middle of the night?”
Nan Moxie also frowned: “In the middle of the night, where are you going again?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “This is the way back to the sleeping hall.”
“Then hurry up.” Nan Moxie took the little apprentice’s hand and walked back, “We are going back to rest too.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Stop!”
Nan Moxie ran fast.
Duan Bai Yue flew in front of the two of them, his eyes frowning: “Say!”
Duan Yao quickly hugged his head.
Nan Moxie cleared his throat and confessed: “Go and have a look in that small courtyard.”
“It’s late, what are you going to do with that old-timer?” Duan Bai Yue was puzzled.
Duan Yao’s eyes were erratic.
Nan Moxie said angrily: “Yao-er has been learning kung fu with him these past few nights.”
Duan Bai Yue was even more surprised: “Learn Kung Fu, can Master agree?”
Naturally, I disagree. Nan Moxie tore through the corners of his clothes and said, “Hmm.”
Duan Bai Yue’s eyes were suspicious.
Duan Yao explained: “It’s not complicated kung fu to only learn for ten days.”
“What’s the name?” Duan Bai Yue asked.
Nan Moxie said nonsense: “Mingyue fingering.”
“Acupuncture?” Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “Anyway, if you want to learn, you can learn. It’s rare for seniors to be willing to teach. It’s just that I’m going to move to Suhuai Mountain Village the day after tomorrow. Does Master want to stay with Yao-er?”
Nan Moxie was immediately embarrassed, and the little apprentice looked at him about to be robbed. Naturally, he wanted to guard him all the time. But according to the pulse of the past few days, the golden silkworm thread seems to be about to wake up. I don’t know whether Lan Ji is a human or a ghost. Even if the apprentice is alone in the villa, he can’t do it. After thinking about it, he still said, “Yao-er, stay in this northbound palace, and I will go to Suhuai Mountain Village with you as a teacher.”
Duan Yao immediately said, “I will protect my sister-in-law.” Very well-behaved.
Duan Bai Yue patted him on the head, turned around and returned to the sleeping palace.
Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “Why don’t you let brother know the truth?”
“There are too many things in his heart, so if you can do one less, you can do one less.” Nan Moxie said,”If he knew you were learning kung Fu for him, I’m afraid he wouldn’t agree.”
Duan Yao nodded obediently.
Nan Moxie took him and walked slowly on the path together and couldn’t help but sigh again: “You will find a wife in the future, but you have to learn to be selfish, and you must never be a saint of love again.”
Duan Yao: “……”
Oh.
After another day, Duan Bai Yue really brought people to live in Suhuai Mountain Villa, the news spread to Yun De City, the people who originally did not dare to go out much, but also want to stay at home from morning to night – after all, it is Xinan Wang, has always been a wolf hearted ruthless, there is no telling why this time, or to hide away from some good.
Nan Mo Xie strolled around and said, “This mountain villa is really nice, a good place to enjoy yourself.”
Duan Bai Yue picked up the teapot and before he could order his subordinates to boil water, Duan Nian came to report that Lord Tao had arrived.
Nan Mo Xie rubbed his fists together.
Duan Bai Yue said: “If the master dares to show up, he will not want to see meat again for half a month from now.”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
Duan Bai Yue added: “Maybe even longer.”
Nan Mo Xie wilted and squatted on the ground.
Duan Bai Yue straightened his clothes and pushed the door out of the room.
Tao Rende was really drinking tea in the hall, remembering that when Liu Fu rebelled, the other party had a life-saving grace to him, but recently he stopped quite a bit, so his attitude was still kind and friendly, he stood up and bowed and saluted: “Xinan Wang.”
“Lord Tao is polite.” Duan Bai Yue joked, “As soon as this king’s forefoot arrived, the lords came to visit on their hind feet. This King really didn’t even have time to have a sip of tea.”
“It’s really rude to be so anxious.” Tao Rende said, “It’s just that the emperor has always been concerned about Xinan Wang in his heart, and he was afraid that the subordinates in this villa would not be well served, so he ordered me to come and take care of it earlier, so as not to wait for you.”
“The scenery in this villa is pretty good.” Duan Bai Yue smiled, “I just want to ask Taifu, I don’t know when the emperor will summon the king?”
Tao Rende asked, “What did Xinan Wang do on this trip?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Send a few flavors of medicinal materials.”
“If it’s just to send medicinal materials, just give it to the old man.” Tao Rende said, “The emperor has been in a bad state of health recently, and the affairs in the dynasty are complicated. If Xinan Wang wants to see the emperor, I’m afraid that you will have to wait for a while.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s okay.”
Tao Rende: “……”
Anyway? ！
Duan Bai Yue continued, “It just so happens that there is nothing going on in Xinan lately, so consider it a trip to the mountains.”
Tao Rende’s head ached, “I’m afraid that’s not a good idea.”
“What could be wrong with that?” Duan Bai Yue laughed, “Kim Tae can stay in Wangcheng for more than a month, but this king can’t stay in Yunde City for two more days?”
“The King of Goryeo came to Chu to pay tribute, and this time he stayed longer because he had to choose a husband for the Princess.” Tao Rende said, “It’s not like he’s just wandering around with nothing to do.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “This time, this king also came here to deliver medicine. Kim Tae only sends gold and silver, but even more gold and silver can’t buy half of the herbs in Xinan.”
Tao Rende some hesitation, after all, this batch of medicinal herbs is the ninth royal prince wants things, that …… gentle and virtuous nature, or do not want to provoke as well, otherwise the headache is not only their own, but also should have the emperor.
Duan Bai Yue said: ” Lord Tao may still have something to say?”
Tao Rende stepped aside: “Xinan Wang’s Road was laborious, think also tired, today will be an early rest.”
Duan Bai Yue nodded and sent him out of the hall.
Nan Mo Xie gnawed on the fruit and came out from the back, saying, “Is he really going to live in this mountain village?”
“Since he is responsible for watching over me, how would he live elsewhere?” Duan Bai Yue said, “This kind of attitude is really unchanged for more than ten years.”
Nan Mo Xie said, “In fact, I didn’t even get to attend the reception banquet.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “The officials in the court, before the situation is clear, I am afraid that no one dares to eat with the people of Xinan Mansion.”
Nan Mo Xie said, “It’s heartbreaking to hear that.”
Duan Bai Yue did not think: “This is more comfortable.” Otherwise, if you have to look at that Lord Tao for every meal, you won’t be able to eat the delicacies of the sea.
The sky is gradually darkening, the night patterned with rain. Duan Bai Yue leaned on the bed, pillowed arm is not asleep, but outside came a small sound, so slightly frowned, got up and pushed open the door.
Chu Yuan held a cold plum umbrella in his hand, looking at him in the rain and smiling.
“You ……” Duan Bai Yue was first surprised, then followed by a smile, striding forward to embrace the person into his arms, tone somewhat helpless, “said to rest in the palace.”
“Come here to see, Tai Fu has not been angry with you.” Chu Yuan shoulders some rain, the tip of the nose is also cold.
Duan Bai Yue received the umbrella in his hand and pulled him into the bedroom.
Nan Mo Xie lying in the next window to see, heart quite pleased.
After so many years, the future days can be considered to have seen some light.
The subordinate soon brought hot water, Chu Yuan soaked in the tub, his chin lazily against the wall of the tub: “What are you looking at?”
“Naturally, I am looking at you.” Duan Bai Yue sat on a small bench, his hands resting on his cheeks.
Chu Yuan laughed: “Silly.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “It’s not like you’re letting me go over.”
Chu Yuan thought about it and flicked a few drops of water over with his hand, “Well, you just aren’t allowed to come over.”
“Do you want to go back tomorrow?” Duan Bai Yue asked.
Chu Yuan said, “I will go back before dawn, I still have to talk to someone in the morning after tomorrow.”
“Good.” Duan Bai Yue dragged a small bench and sat beside him, “Then I won’t go out tomorrow, lest I meet that Lord Tao.”
As soon as his words fall, someone pushes the door outside and Tao Rende asks with a loud voice in the courtyard, “Has Xinan Wang rested?”
Chu Yuan held his forehead.
Duan Bai Yue twitched the corners of his mouth.
Chu Yuan signaled him with his eyes to open the door.
Duan Bai Yue made a long appeal and a short sigh, his smile was very calm as he went out the door, “Lord Tao came late at night, I don’t know what’s the matter?”
Tao Rende raised an oil paper bag in his hand and said, “I am afraid that Xinan Wang is hungry in the middle of the night, so I bought some food.”
Duan Bai Yue received it in his hand and patiently said, “Thank you.”
“Then I will take my leave.” Tao Rende’s attitude was so respectful that even if a person wanted to punch him, he couldn’t find a reason to do so.
Duan Bai Yue turned around and went back to the house, placing the bag of chicken claws on the table.
Chu Yuan said, “I guess it’s because I’m afraid that you’re plotting against me and running around in the middle of the night, so he purposely came to check the room.”
“Can’t you really think of a way to make him go back quickly?” Duan Bai Yue said, “Let’s not talk about me, if Lan Ji really came, this Lord Tao is a big burden.”
“Tai Fu came for the sake of courtesy, tomorrow night there will be someone else to take his place.” Chu Yuan said, “It’s an expert from Riyue Mountain Villa named Gong Fei, who just came back to Wangcheng without an official position but can also help out at critical moments.”
Duan Bai Yue took the big blanket on one side and said, “The water is getting cold, come out.”
Chu Yuan dodged his hand and before Duan Bai Yue could react, he was already wrapped in a robe and stood aside.
Duan Bai Yue paused, handed him the blanket, and consciously turned to look at the window.
Chu Yuan wiped his hair dry and took the underwear aside before he could change, but someone had already turned around and pulled him into his arms.
Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes: “Unbridled.”
“This is called bullying.” Duan Bai Yue hugged him horizontally, “I counted on Your Majesty not being willing to do anything to me.”
Chu Yuan encircled his neck, closed his eyes and kissed him.
Duan Bai Yue pressed the person on the bed, and his lips did not part for a moment.
After waiting for so many years, once you break the taboo, you just want to be together all the time. Ten days or even ten years, a lifetime is even better.
Outside the house, the wind and rain were dashing, Duan Bai Yue looked at the person underneath him in a daze, his eyes sliding over the handsome eyebrows, as if he wanted to burn this moment into his heart. Chu Yuan supported his hands on his chest, the honey-colored muscles under his palms are clearly defined, some scars left from his early years, but it is not ugly at all, on the contrary, it has a bit more power of beauty.
“What are you thinking about?” Duan Bai Yue asked in a low voice.
“Xinan Mansion.” Chu Yuan said, “I want to go and take a look.”
“Not waiting for the future?” Duan Bai Yue leaned down and hugged him, “Good, when this matter is over, I will come to pick you up and head to Xinan.”
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and smiled, “Uh-huh.”
Duan Bai Yue waved his hand and swept down the bed tent, the kiss became more and more difficult to part with. Chu Yuan slightly tilted his head; his hands were pressed by him on the pillow. The candlelight above the bed flickered, lighting up a scene of hibiscus spring night colors.
Inside the small courtyard of the palace, Duan Yao said, “Tonight’s two moves don’t seem to be different from last night’s two moves.”
The old man said, “That’s because you don’t have enough understanding.”
Duan Yao frowned slightly.
“But there’s no hurry.” The old man said, “Kung Fu is all about chance and coincidence, there are some things that can’t be forced.”
Duan Yao nodded, “That’s what Master said, but if I can’t realize it after a long time, will I still be able to solve Fen Xing Chess and save my brother?”
The old man said, “I don’t know.”
Duan Yao sighed.
“Although I don’t know how to read faces, I know that good people should have a good life, and that karma will not be disappointed.” The old man said, “Xinan Wang looks clear-eyed and doesn’t look like he has evil intentions, so I think his fate will be good.”
That’s right, Duan Yao thought, ‘Besides, my brother is a saint of love, no matter how you look at it, he should live a long life.’
The old man dipped his hand in some more dumpling sugar and licked it in his mouth.
Duan Yao advised him, “Don’t eat it anymore, it’s been sitting there for a long time, it should be spoiled. I’ll just go to the city to buy another pack.”
The old man shook his head, “How much can I eat, good or bad, it’s just a thought.”
Seeing his cold face, Duan Yao didn’t know what to say, and only after a while did, he ask tentatively, “Then, do you want me to go and secretly visit that granny Feng Gu?”
The old man said, “Don’t bother her, just visit her once a year and know that she is doing well, that’s enough.”
Duan Yao said, “Yes.”
The old man covered his chest and coughed, then stood up and went into the inner room with a trembling voice.
Duan Yao memorized the chess game and the mind method again, then he also got up and went back to his place, but he couldn’t fall asleep even though he was tossing and turning, so he jumped up and took the Cloud Splitting Sword and went to the Jin Man Inn.
Jing Liutian was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes after hearing the commotion, and unexpectedly said, “Why did Duan Xiao Wangye come?”
“I have something to ask Master Jing.” Duan Yao said.
Jing Liutian asked, “Do you know that Feiluanluo is not open for business every day?”
“I know I have to queue up, but I don’t want to.” Duan Yao “snapped” and slapped poison on the table, “Use these to exchange, okay?”
Jing Liutian looked at it and said, “No.”
Duan Yao insisted, ” Okay.”
Jing Liutian laughed, “Duan Xiao Wangye, this would be a bit of a hardship.”
“I’m not a member of the Central Plains Jianghu, so naturally I don’t need to abide by the rules of the Central Plains Jianghu.” Duan Yao said, “I only ask one thing.”
“That’s fine.” Jing Liutian said, “Xiao Wangye please speak.”
“Is there anyone in this world who knows the secrets of Fen Xing Chess and Fen Xing, and is also highly skilled in martial arts and is hiding in his hometown, as well as having a lover that he can’t keep?” Duan Yao asked.
“If they know the secrets of Fen Xing Chess and Fen Xing, then they are related to Chaoya. There are a lot of anonymous masters in the Jianghu, and as for love affairs, it is even more difficult to guess.” Jing Liutian said, “All three together, I really don’t know who it is.”
Duan Yao said, “If this question is not accurate, I will ask another one.”
Jing Liutian laughed, “Duan Xiao Wangye is truly worthy of being from Xinan Mansion.” Not eating half of the loss.
Duan Yao said, “As I said, please do not disturb the old man.”
Jing Liutian nodded: “Naturally, Feiluanlou still has this integrity.”
Duan Yao asked, “A few decades ago, there was a woman in Jianghu whose name had the word ‘Feng’ in it?”
Jing Liutian said, “There are at least a dozen such characters.”
“What about the one who had a difficult love life?” Duan Yao pursued.
Jing Liutian said, “Most of the women in Jianghu have a rough love life, but Bai Tou Feng is the one with the roughest love life.”
Duan Yao pulled a chair and sat beside him, his eyes twinkling, “I wish to hear more.”
“Why does Duan Xiao Wang Ye need to know this?” Jing Liutian was surprised.
Duan Yao thought to himself, ‘That old senior looks like he’s terminally ill, if he doesn’t care, he probably won’t be able to survive this winter, but he’s also stubbornly refusing to see a doctor, so it would be good to find out what happened in the past, so that he can get rid of one more knot in his heart.’

“Then hurry up.” Nan Moxie took the little apprentice’s hand and walked back, “We are going back to rest too.”

Duan Bai Yue’s eyes were suspicious.
Duan Yao explained: “It’s not complicated kung fu to only learn for ten days.”
“What’s the name?” Duan Bai Yue asked.
Nan Moxie said nonsense: “Mingyue fingering.”
“Acupuncture?” Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “Anyway, if you want to learn, you can learn. It’s rare for seniors to be willing to teach. It’s just that I’m going to move to Suhuai Mountain Village the day after tomorrow. Does Master want to stay with Yao-er?”
Nan Moxie was immediately embarrassed, and the little apprentice looked at him about to be robbed. Naturally, he wanted to guard him all the time. But according to the pulse of the past few days, the golden silkworm thread seems to be about to wake up. I don’t know whether Lan Ji is a human or a ghost. Even if the apprentice is alone in the villa, he can’t do it. After thinking about it, he still said, “Yao-er, stay in this northbound palace, and I will go to Suhuai Mountain Village with you as a teacher.”
Duan Yao immediately said, “I will protect my sister-in-law.” Very well-behaved.
Duan Bai Yue patted him on the head, turned around and returned to the sleeping palace.
Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “Why don’t you let brother know the truth?”

Duan Bai Yue picked up the teapot and before he could order his subordinates to boil water, Duan Nian came to report that Lord Tao had arrived.

Duan Bai Yue said: “If the master dares to show up, he will not want to see meat again for half a month from now.”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
Duan Bai Yue added: “Maybe even longer.”
Nan Mo Xie wilted and squatted on the ground.
Duan Bai Yue straightened his clothes and pushed the door out of the room.
Tao Rende was really drinking tea in the hall, remembering that when Liu Fu rebelled, the other party had a life-saving grace to him, but recently he stopped quite a bit, so his attitude was still kind and friendly, he stood up and bowed and saluted: “Xinan Wang.”
“Lord Tao is polite.” Duan Bai Yue joked, “As soon as this king’s forefoot arrived, the lords came to visit on their hind feet. This King really didn’t even have time to have a sip of tea.”
“It’s really rude to be so anxious.” Tao Rende said, “It’s just that the emperor has always been concerned about Xinan Wang in his heart, and he was afraid that the subordinates in this villa would not be well served, so he ordered me to come and take care of it earlier, so as not to wait for you.”

Tao Rende raised an oil paper bag in his hand and said, “I am afraid that Xinan Wang is hungry in the middle of the night, so I bought some food.”
Duan Bai Yue received it in his hand and patiently said, “Thank you.”
“Then I will take my leave.” Tao Rende’s attitude was so respectful that even if a person wanted to punch him, he couldn’t find a reason to do so.
Duan Bai Yue turned around and went back to the house, placing the bag of chicken claws on the table.
Chu Yuan said, “I guess it’s because I’m afraid that you’re plotting against me and running around in the middle of the night, so he purposely came to check the room.”
“Can’t you really think of a way to make him go back quickly?” Duan Bai Yue said, “Let’s not talk about me, if Lan Ji really came, this Lord Tao is a big burden.”
“Tai Fu came for the sake of courtesy, tomorrow night there will be someone else to take his place.” Chu Yuan said, “It’s an expert from Riyue Mountain Villa named Gong Fei, who just came back to Wangcheng without an official position but can also help out at critical moments.”
Duan Bai Yue took the big blanket on one side and said, “The water is getting cold, come out.”
Chu Yuan dodged his hand and before Duan Bai Yue could react, he was already wrapped in a robe and stood aside.
Duan Bai Yue paused, handed him the blanket, and consciously turned to look at the window.
Chu Yuan wiped his hair dry and took the underwear aside before he could change, but someone had already turned around and pulled him into his arms.
Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes: “Unbridled.”
“This is called bullying.” Duan Bai Yue hugged him horizontally, “I counted on Your Majesty not being willing to do anything to me.”
Chu Yuan encircled his neck, closed his eyes and kissed him.
Duan Bai Yue pressed the person on the bed, and his lips did not part for a moment.
After waiting for so many years, once you break the taboo, you just want to be together all the time. Ten days or even ten years, a lifetime is even better.
Outside the house, the wind and rain were dashing, Duan Bai Yue looked at the person underneath him in a daze, his eyes sliding over the handsome eyebrows, as if he wanted to burn this moment into his heart. Chu Yuan supported his hands on his chest, the honey-colored muscles under his palms are clearly defined, some scars left from his early years, but it is not ugly at all, on the contrary, it has a bit more power of beauty.
“What are you thinking about?” Duan Bai Yue asked in a low voice.
“Xinan Mansion.” Chu Yuan said, “I want to go and take a look.”
“Not waiting for the future?” Duan Bai Yue leaned down and hugged him, “Good, when this matter is over, I will come to pick you up and head to Xinan.”
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and smiled, “Uh-huh.”
Duan Bai Yue waved his hand and swept down the bed tent, the kiss became more and more difficult to part with. Chu Yuan slightly tilted his head; his hands were pressed by him on the pillow. The candlelight above the bed flickered, lighting up a scene of hibiscus spring night colors.
Inside the small courtyard of the palace, Duan Yao said, “Tonight’s two moves don’t seem to be different from last night’s two moves.”
The old man said, “That’s because you don’t have enough understanding.”
Duan Yao frowned slightly.
“But there’s no hurry.” The old man said, “Kung Fu is all about chance and coincidence, there are some things that can’t be forced.”
Duan Yao nodded, “That’s what Master said, but if I can’t realize it after a long time, will I still be able to solve Fen Xing Chess and save my brother?”
The old man said, “I don’t know.”
Duan Yao sighed.
“Although I don’t know how to read faces, I know that good people should have a good life, and that karma will not be disappointed.” The old man said, “Xinan Wang looks clear-eyed and doesn’t look like he has evil intentions, so I think his fate will be good.”
That’s right, Duan Yao thought, ‘Besides, my brother is a saint of love, no matter how you look at it, he should live a long life.’
The old man dipped his hand in some more dumpling sugar and licked it in his mouth.
Duan Yao advised him, “Don’t eat it anymore, it’s been sitting there for a long time, it should be spoiled. I’ll just go to the city to buy another pack.”
The old man shook his head, “How much can I eat, good or bad, it’s just a thought.”
Seeing his cold face, Duan Yao didn’t know what to say, and only after a while did, he ask tentatively, “Then, do you want me to go and secretly visit that granny Feng Gu?”
The old man said, “Don’t bother her, just visit her once a year and know that she is doing well, that’s enough.”
Duan Yao said, “Yes.”
The old man covered his chest and coughed, then stood up and went into the inner room with a trembling voice.
Duan Yao memorized the chess game and the mind method again, then he also got up and went back to his place, but he couldn’t fall asleep even though he was tossing and turning, so he jumped up and took the Cloud Splitting Sword and went to the Jin Man Inn.
Jing Liutian was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes after hearing the commotion, and unexpectedly said, “Why did Duan Xiao Wangye come?”
“I have something to ask Master Jing.” Duan Yao said.
Jing Liutian asked, “Do you know that Feiluanluo is not open for business every day?”
“I know I have to queue up, but I don’t want to.” Duan Yao “snapped” and slapped poison on the table, “Use these to exchange, okay?”
Jing Liutian looked at it and said, “No.”
Duan Yao insisted, ” Okay.”
Jing Liutian laughed, “Duan Xiao Wangye, this would be a bit of a hardship.”
“I’m not a member of the Central Plains Jianghu, so naturally I don’t need to abide by the rules of the Central Plains Jianghu.” Duan Yao said, “I only ask one thing.”
“That’s fine.” Jing Liutian said, “Xiao Wangye please speak.”
“Is there anyone in this world who knows the secrets of Fen Xing Chess and Fen Xing, and is also highly skilled in martial arts and is hiding in his hometown, as well as having a lover that he can’t keep?” Duan Yao asked.
“If they know the secrets of Fen Xing Chess and Fen Xing, then they are related to Chaoya. There are a lot of anonymous masters in the Jianghu, and as for love affairs, it is even more difficult to guess.” Jing Liutian said, “All three together, I really don’t know who it is.”
Duan Yao said, “If this question is not accurate, I will ask another one.”
Jing Liutian laughed, “Duan Xiao Wangye is truly worthy of being from Xinan Mansion.” Not eating half of the loss.
Duan Yao said, “As I said, please do not disturb the old man.”
Jing Liutian nodded: “Naturally, Feiluanlou still has this integrity.”
Duan Yao asked, “A few decades ago, there was a woman in Jianghu whose name had the word ‘Feng’ in it?”
Jing Liutian said, “There are at least a dozen such characters.”
“What about the one who had a difficult love life?” Duan Yao pursued.
Jing Liutian said, “Most of the women in Jianghu have a rough love life, but Bai Tou Feng is the one with the roughest love life.”
Duan Yao pulled a chair and sat beside him, his eyes twinkling, “I wish to hear more.”
“Why does Duan Xiao Wang Ye need to know this?” Jing Liutian was surprised.
Duan Yao thought to himself, ‘That old senior looks like he’s terminally ill, if he doesn’t care, he probably won’t be able to survive this winter, but he’s also stubbornly refusing to see a doctor, so it would be good to find out what happened in the past, so that he can get rid of one more knot in his heart.’
